Ed- yinonds, editor of The Manufacturers’ p Rasord, who is tn‘the south making @ sutdy of crop prospects and probable f consumption, said: ; “The American spinners are belng played for suckers by foreign spin- j ners, and they\are being played with "an energy that ought to satisfy the ‘Tost enthustasilc sherman. Ia othe er words, foreign spinners ave en- deavoring in every way/posslule to eonvince the spinners th this coun- try and all other people {deatified with the cotton trade that the price of the raw cotton is too high, and that the way to bring about 2 reduc- Uon ts to shut down mills until cot- ton declines to a point satisfactory to the buyer. “The American spinners are taking this talk of the foreign spinners seri- ously, and while they are, to a large extent, as compared with previous years, keeping out of the market, for- eign ‘spinners are buying every ‘bate of cotton they can get their hands on. ‘The question of price dees not seem to enter into their actual calcula- tions, although they are struggling to ‘impress upon American spinners the folly of buying at present prices. “No one familiar with the shrewd- ness and the knowledge of business conditions throubgout the world of Jorelgn spinners should be surprised at the game which they are playing. At bas boen played steadily for more than half a century, but there is room for surpride ,that American spinners should so réadily fall Into the trap. “Ag a matter of fact, the present price of cotton is not unduly high. It Is not in fact even at present figures: yielding to the farmers the prone which should be won out of this, na- ture’s greatest monopoly. -Considering’ the increased cost of proiluction and the Increased cost of living, it is doubtful whether 12-cent cotton is giv. ing better net results to the producer than 8 or D-cent cotton would have vdone seven or elght years’ ago. To assume that the world will not con- sume this enlire crop, even If It soit at 15 cents a pound, is absurd to any man who is thoroughly familiar with the world’s business conditions and who recognizes that, until an article reaches a practically —prohibitory price, consumption is not materially lessened by what, under other condl- tions, might have been regarded as a high _ pried. “All mankind is livipg on a bigher plane Wages in the Orient and in ‘Rurope, as well as in this country, havo been steadily advancing for Some years, with occasional brief pe- Tiods of reaction, such as that follow- ing the panic of 1907. But, broadly speaking, there is a steady, world. wide forward movement. 7 “The fron producers, the growers of wheat and corn and’ other agricul- tral products, and manufacturers of nearly all Moes are sharing in this increased activity and increased prof- it to a groater extent than the cgt- ton growers of the south. If there had been no material shortage in the yleld of cotton compared with last Year, there should have been, mere- ly to keep pace with the advance in ‘other things, a rise of 25 to 20 per cent in the price of cotton over the average of the preceding crop. “The world’s improved — business conditions would have justified this. When we remember that whatever may be the actual final outcome it Is An unquestionable fact that the crop, will be yery much less than last year, white the consumption will cer- tainly Ve as large, it would seem that present prices have not yet reached @ point of fairness to the grower. It is incumbent upon every business tn- terest in the south to recognize the wsituation and to unite to help the jfarmer in securing a price in keep- ‘ing with the present Increasing pros- ‘perity In every other industry. Instead sof seeking to depress the price of cot- iton, the south should’ unite to seek to advence the price. “At present ev-| ery man who Is paying any serious attention to the talk of forelgn spin- mers is simply helping them to laugh ‘up one sleeve, while with the other jhand they aro reaching behind bis pack and gathering in‘ every possible Iuale of cotton. “Later on, when the foreign spin- ners have Secured the best of the jerop and the American spinners un- ‘dertake to supply thelr own needs, they will wake up to the game that) ‘Sas been played upon them.” _ CHINA STIRRED AGAINST JAPAR, Geeling is Fomented by Circulars of Ghineso Association.

Treasury of State of Georgia REMEDIAL MEASURES FOR SAN JOSE SCALE By E. L. Worsham, State Entomologist. Atlanta, Ga.-The Georgia State Board of Entomology has recently concluded a series of experiments with various oils and lime and sulphur compounds as remedial measures for San Jose scale. The results of these experiments, soon to be sent out from the department in bulletin form, are sure to be of value to fruit growers and orchardists of Georgia. The purpose of the experiments was to test the efficiency of soluble oil compounds as compared with the standard home-made, preparation of lime and sulphur, and the more recently introduced manufactured compounds of lime and sulphur. Six different oils were included in the test, as follows: Target Brand Emulsion, Scalecide,, San-U-Zay, Soluble Petroleum, Kill-O-Scale, Schnarr's Scale Compound No. 1, Schnarr's Scale Compound No. 2. Two brands of prepared lime and sulphur were used alongside of the oil. One plat of trees was sprayed with the standard boiled mixture of lime and sulphur, prepared on the grounds. Several of the soluble oils in the above list have been known in Georgia for a number of years. They have been used in different sections of the state with varying degrees of success. Primarily they were intended to fill the demand for an insecticide other than the home-made lime and sulphur, with which there was considerable dissatisfaction because of the trouble involved in making and applying it. To a large extent they displace lime and sulphur. Reports on the results obtained from oils have not always been satisfactory. It has been the experience of many fruit growers that they were unreliable, and there has been much complaint from various sources that they, as scale destroyers, were not entirely satisfactory. Within the past two years prepared concentrated lime and sulphur has made its appearance in the field. This compound is a reddish liquid, strained and perfectly free of solid matter. Two years ago it was tried in an experimental way by the department, and promised well as a scale insecticide. Last winter it was used extensively in the commercial orchards of the state, and in every case where it was well applied the results were of a very high order. Although not showing on the trees as plainly as the home-made material, it leaves them a dull gray in color, sucently so to determine the quality of the spraying. Beside the home-made product of the lime and sulphur wash, the manufactured article compares most favorably. When manufactured by a reliable company the latter is really more uniform in composition than the former.

They may be depended upon to give satisfaction, as a rule, when properly and thoroughly mixed and applied. Too great emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity of doing the actual field work thoroughly. An inch of badly infested limb or twig left untouched by the spray is capable of largely reinfesting practically the entire tree the following summer. "While each oil was applied as a spring treatment and as a fall treatment it was found in every case that the fall treatment was of superior effectiveness. This is a rule: The earlier the spray can be applied after the leaves have fallen, the better will be the net results. "The mechanical appliances of application are extremely important, especially with soluble oils. A good pump developing a high pressure and a nozzle throwing a direct, forceful spray, are very necessary to obtain good results. "The concentrated lime and sulphur solutions, being free of all solid matter, offer no more serious obstacles to easy spray than the oils. They are much more caustic in nature, however, and it is well to be protected from continuous physical contact with them. Under well regulated conditions they spray as easily as water might, and no more harmful to the person, compared to the soluble oil compounds for efficiency; they yield, quite as good results, as the best oils, even when the latter are used at a greater strength than recommended by the manufacturers. A tree well sprayed with lime and sulphur always offers a cleaner, brighter and healthier appearance than a tree equally well sprayed with an oil. Besides its strictly insecidual value, lime and sulphur possesses fungicidal properties to a much greater degree than it is possible to incorporate in a soluble oil." No Right to Cause Disease. Atlanta, Ga.—A water power company may not construct a dam which will cause a backwater, stagnant, and breeding mosquitoes. At least, if it does, it will be liable in damages to the parties living along the banks of the stream. So the court of appeals has decided in an opinion handed down. The title of the case was the Towaliga Falls Power Company against George Sims, which came up from the city court of Forsyth. Sims claimed that the company's dam had caused a pond to form, of stagnant water, and that it had become a breeding place for anopheles mosquitoes, whereby his family had contracted malaria and had been otherwise greatly inconvenienced. Chairman Hutchens of the prison commission and Hon. Gus Woodliff of Flowery Branch, representative from Hall county, debated at some length the weighty question as to whether the state should sell or hold the cotton raised this year on the prison farm. There are now 1,000 bales of cotton at the state farm. The staple is selling around 13 1-2c. Whether to sell now or hold for a rise, is the question the prison commission is endeavoring to decide. If the state sells now it will get the interest on the P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. $65,000 or $70,000 which the cotton is worth. Chairman Hutchens and Captain Wiley Williams of the prison commission visited the state farm to investigate conditions. They will also look into the matter of constructing the new negro reformatory building and the tuberculosis hospital, for each of which purposes the last legislature appropriated the sum of $4,000. Work on these buildings will begin at an early date. The new chairman of the prison commission has not visited the prison farm since being named a member of the commission following the death of Judge Turner, and wishes to take advantage of this opportunity to meet the farm employees and familiarize himself with conditions GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. Former Governor Smith issued a further statement in regard to the condition of the state treasury, replying to the statement of Alonzo Richardson & Co., who made the recent audit of the state's books. He states that if the governor's borrowing power was increased to $600,000 from $2200,000, it would enable the governor to meet all the state's obligations as they mature in the spring and the money to be repaid when tax returns begin to come in late in the fall. While praising the ability of Alonzo Richardson & Co., as accountants, he declares they did not understand that all state appropriations are not due on demand. As a case in point, he discusses the appropriations for schools. Alonzo Richardson & Co. made the following statement: "We have read Mr. Smith's interview and can see very little, it anything, in it that calls for any reply from us. We have no disposition whatever to be drawn into any controversy regarding our report, or as to the condition of the state's finances." An interesting case decided by the supreme court was the suit of Mrs. George M. Riley of Dodge county against the Writtsville and Tennille Railroad. The case grew out of Mrs. Riley, her husband and one child being put out of the depot at Empire, Ga., while making a trip from Dublin to Macon. They were forced to wait several hours at Empire, and were not allowed to spend the time in the depot. The family was caught in a rain storm, and from the exposure Mrs. Riley contracted an illness. The court held that the allegations set forth in the petition furnished a good ground for action, but the petition was deficient in certain particulars, and the judgment was reversed. The court of appeals has decided that in a prosecution for the illicit sale of whiskey, where it was shown by the evidence that a bottle said to contain whiskey was offered and the money received in exchange, it was prima facie evidence of a violation of the law, though the defendant came into court later and claimed tse bottle only contained ginger ale.

Farmers, believing a bumper crop certain, thus fortified themselves against possible low prices by selling portions of their crop, several here selling 100 to 200 bales at 10 cents for October delivery. They thereby sustain a loss of $15 a bale, but are coming up gamely notwithstanding. In several markets here such deliveries are now being made. Last Saturday was the record day for wagon cotton in Elberton, when nearly eight hundred bales were sold from the wagon, each bringing at least 13 cents. This cotton brought approximately $50,000. Part of this season's cotton brought 13 1-2 cents on the local market, and the good price has brought the staple from all surrounding points. Elberton is upholding her reputation as the best cotton market in northeast Georgia. The farmers are nearly through gathering their cotton crop in Henry county, and from reports received from all sections of the country the crop will not be over two-thirds of the crop of last year, and in many places not over one-half of a crop will be made. The farmers, as a general rule, are marketing the crop as fast as it is gathered. Recent rnmors have connected the name of former Governor Hoke Smith with the race for congress in the Fifth district next year. It has been ascertained, however, that while the rumor had some slight foundation, the ex-governor has no political aspirations exactly in that direction. A resolution calling for concerted action by the southern states in a fight on the hookworm disease, was adopted by the chamber of commerce of Atlanta. After declaring that several millions in the south are affected by the hook-worm disease, "which incapacitates them for work, renders their lives miserable and greatly increases the mortality while it reduces the productive power of the south," it calls upon boards of health of the various states to institute a systematic campaign of education similar to that being waged against tuberculosis. Emanuel county can probably boast of the champion nine-year-old cotton plicker in little Miss Marie Waller, youngest daughter of Mr. S. A. Waller, who lives near Hunez, Marie, who is a child of rather slight build, weighing only about fifty-five pounds, one day last week picked two hundred and one pounds of cotton. The commissioners of Monroe county are having more and better work done on the public roads than at any time. Chairman A. J. Zellner of the county commissioners, is a good roads enthusiast, and believes that improved roads are one of the best and most substantial investments which any county can make. The comptroller of the currency has approved an application to convert the commercial bank of Unadilla into the First National bank of Unadilla, capital $35,000. Twenty-five thousand dollars cash was the consideration announced in the purchase by Dr. B. T. Wise, of the Oliver farm of 750 acres near Americus.

The annual convention of the grand lodge of Georgia Masons will be held in Macon October 26, 27 and 28, and it is believed that about seven hundred delegates will attend. The grand lodge is headed by Mr. Thomas Jeffries of Atlanta, with Mr. W. A. Wollin of Macon as grand recorder. Special rates have been granted on all railreads leading to Macon. Notices about these rates have been sent broadcast over the state by Mr. Wollin, and he has already received advice showing that the coming convention will be the best attended one of all recent years Most of the farmers of Laurens county have already paid out of debt, have money in the banks and cotton in the fields as a result of the high price of the fleecy staple. The crop in Laurens is as good as last year. What is lacking in yield per acre is made up in the natural increase in acreage, due to many farmers of north Georgia moving here and purchasing wild lands. The merchants of Dublin are having a prosperous fall trade. The farmers have been buying cautiously during the past twelve months and now need many things they feel safe in purchasing. There will be more cotton marketed in Dublin than ever before. This may mean a big cotton crop next year, but the larger farmers say that they are going to sow a great deal of oats, wheat and other small grain and plant a large corn crop next spring. So It Was.

Gavannah, Georgia. Tribes Plough Them Up Now and Then and Sow Grain on Them. There are two roads from Tangier to Fez, the one passing through Alcazar and the other following the seashore via Larache. The former is the more direct and except during the rainy season is usually chosen by the traveller, but the beach road to Larache possesses many attractions and you are able to spend a night at the old Portuguese settlement of Arzila, which is a model of the fortresses of two centuries ago. No one has ever yet measured accurately the exact distance which separates Tangier from Fez, and I hope the next person to make the journey will take a bicycle wheel with a cyclometer attached to settle the vexed question once and for all. Roughly I put the distance at 185 to 190 miles, and it is usual to take from six to eight days on the road, thus limiting the daily march to twenty-five miles, which is quite sufficient if you want to shoot on arriving in camp. The journey can be done comfortably in six days if your animals are not too heavily loaded, and I have ridden from Fez to Larache in three days during the heat of August, but it is an experiment not to be recommended. Except during the months of July, August and September the climate of Morocco is temperate and pleasant. The early spring is, however, the best season for a journey, as the tropical rains which are likely to overwhelm you in the late autumn and early winter have ceased. The rivers are serious obstacles during the rainy season, as there are no bridges and no ferries except close to the coast, and consequently if the fords are impracticable you are likely to be hung up on the banks of a river for a very considerable time. The rivers are wide and shallow, but are liable to rise and fall six to eight feet in twenty-four hours. Your baggage must be carried on mules or horses. There are no regular roads in Morocco and the tracks are often very difficult to trace and vary constantly because the tribes have the curious custom of ploughing right over them and sowing their grain thereon. Thus in the summer, when the corn is ripe the old road has sometimes entirely disappeared and it is necessary to strike a new trail. As there are no roads carts are unknown in the interior. The only wheeled vehicles which ever found their way to Fez were brought there by the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, who succeeded in adding considerably to his unpopularity by the innovation.—National Review.

They sat together on the Blairs' plaza as Hester broke the hard news as gently as she could. He had been so glad to see her upon her return from the city—so eager to see what she had accomplished—so willing to praise. It hurt Hester to see him so brave about it. "I didn't think even the city and a year's study could make you forget me," was all he said when she had finished and was looking at him appealingly. "It isn't that I don't admire and love you, dasper." she protested. "It's only that living in the city and seeing so much going on somehow makes you long to do something for yourself. Before I left here I dreamed of nothing but a home with you. But this year—it's made me long for other things." "What kind of things?" "I know you'll think it's silly," she hesitated. "I can't explain the hold these things—luxury, friends, good times—have upon me. I suppose it's because I've lived such a quiet life." "It was a happy one before you knew anything better," he said sadly. "When did you first feel this longing for new things?" She laughed, a little ashamed. "There was a pink silk gown in a store window near where I boarded. It was beautiful, Jasper. It was made of lace and silver tissue and beautiful shimmery silk. I used to look at it day after day and by and by I went in and asked how much it cost. It was $300. I began to wonder if I could ever own such a dress. Afterward, when they gave me so much encouragement about my voice, I began to hope I might. Now it has come to the place where I know that if I work hard I can." He looked at her thoughtfully a long while. When at last he rose to go he took her hand in his and held it. "I'm sorry, Hetty, for myself and for you," he said gently. "Somehow I feel as if you won't be happy in this new life, but I wish you luck, dear, and all success. Some time, when I, too, have made something of myself, I'm coming to see you again and find out if you did well to choose between me and a pink dress." "When you come," she said steadfastly, "I shall be ready to show you, I am sure." Ten years elapsed. Hester Blair awoke one morning in her luxurious, half-darkened room, forgetful of the great triumph of the night before, forgetful of everything except that she was tired. The sun fell in little streaks past the sides of the window shades and made long, bright lines on the floor. There was no joy for Hester in waking up. No-consciousness of rest or renewed vigor. Simply the same dread of the beginning of a new day, which she had felt every morning for the last two tired years. She called the mold and asked to have the mail brought in. The woman slipped out silently and returned with a handful of letters. Hester dragged the pillows into a mass as the curtains were being raised and leaned back against their support. There were a half-dozen congratulations on last night's performance, an invitation to dinner, two or three pleas for interviews from ambitious young singers. She read them through without interest, and separated them into piles to be answered later. At last there was only one envelope left — a broad, thin one, marked in a clear, decisive hand. She looked at it silently, but with a shock of recognition. At last — after ten years. She broke the seal with a faltering hand. "My dear Hester," she read. "The time has come when, as business calls me to your city, I am going to your concert of the 10th and hear you sing. You remember, I said I would see you some time. I am sure you will still have sufficient interest in an old friend to be glad to hear that I am about to be married. I hope to have the pleasure of presenting my future wife to you after the concert, if you will let me. I am looking forward with great pleasure to meeting you again. Yours faithfully." The paper fluttered from Hester's fingers and she lay still. Until now she had not realized how she had hoped that he had remained unmarried so long for her sake. She had not realized how utterly dreary life would look when the one little possibility of happiness that she had held in her heart was banished forever. After a while she sat up, thinking intensely. He would see how everything was. He would know that his prophecy had come true. She could not bear it. She lived over the interview of ten years ago. A bitter smile curved her lips as she thought of the pink dress. "And I have worked so hard—and cared so little that I have never thought of a pink dress for years," she whispered to herself. It set her thinking on a new line. "Why not," she said aloud after few-moments. "It is the only ideal that I ever had that I can realize. I wanted friends and I have not one. I wanted good times and luxury. Oh, of what use are such things when one is weary and cannot enjoy them. But there was a time when I wanted a pink silk dress, and I can have it and I will." She called the maid and dressed hurriedly with her help. Later she drove down ton to call upon her dressmaker. The latter was much astonished, by the order which she gave, but Hester was firm. The dress must be cascades of beautiful lace upon it. Madame shrugged her shoulders and consented to make the gown at once. "I must have it for the concert of the 10th," said Hester. The gown came home in the afternoon while Hester was asleep in preparation for the evening. The maid opened the box and spread out the rich folds of lace and silk with an exclamation of wonder. Hester's taste was not usually like this. Even when at last she had it on the maid could not seem to make it natural. There was a carmine spot in either of the singer's cheeks. She had never looked so well. Her manager gasped as she swept into the anteroom. The man who came to warn her that it was time for her to go on stared with wonder. Hester noticed neither of them. One moment she hesitated and then went out, brave in the beauty of the pink dress. The critics, said afterward that she had never sung so well. They spoke of her high notes and her phrasing and her intelligence. Hester knew nothing during the whole performance but that he sat breathtlessly in a box above the stage, leaning out, wondering, admiringly. She hardly noticed the woman at his side, so busy was she in singing to him. At the close of the last number amid the crash of applause she saw him writing something. Then as a great bunch of violets fell at her feet and as she picked it up she saw that he written a message on his card. She did not pause to read it, but ran out—sickly—eager to be away. She had done what she tried to do and she was tired. Later when the maid had been dismissed she sat by her fire and looked at the violets lying in her lap. Upon the card she took it out she read this: "You are wonderful. I take back my prophecy. You have won a victory." She raised her head with her eyes full of tears. The pink dress lay in all its beauty before her: "A victory," she said, "a victory." —Boston Post. The young minister temporarily officiating at Hankins' Falls for the summer met Ehud Lefflingwell as he was walking to church on Sunday morning. "How do, Mister Lefflingwell?" he cried, cheerfully. "Going to church this beautiful morning?" "Hay?" asked Ehud, who was pretty hard of hearing. "Hay?" "Are—you—coming—to—church?" roared the minister. "Nuh," Ehud responded, "Lookin' few my caow. She must 'a' got out the barn las' night. Unhooked the hasp, I cal-late, an' jest strayed—" "Come—on—to church," the minister shouted cordially, "and after preaching I'll tell the congregation, and they'll help you. You'll get your cow much outker." "B'jocks! I'll go ye," said Ehud, heartily, and he fell into step with the young minister. At the church door he was overcome by modesty and, declaring that he didn't have his Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes on, insisted upon sitting in one of the most distant pews. He didn't hear the sermon at all, but he could tell when it was over by seeing the young minister fold up his manuscript and put it away. This done, the young man began to make announcements. Ehud raised his right hand in a great leathery scoop behind his ear, but still he heard nothing. "My dear friends," said the minister, "it affords me great pleasure to tell you that on Tuesday evening next, at the hour of six o'clock, there will be celebrated at the home of the bride's parents the wedding of Mr. Edward Stoutenboro, one of our most esteemed and promising young men, and that charming, estimable young lady—as beautiful as she is good—Miss Mehitabel Dodsworth."

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 1234 New York City.—The shirt waist that is closed at the left of the front and made with a single revers is one of the latest and smartest. It will be greatly in vogue throughout the coming season, and it is equally appro- 1 prate for the odd waist and for the gown. Linen is the material illustrated, but such waists will be made from all waistting materials, silk and wool as well as linen and cotton, while the design is equally appropriate for any simple dress made in shirt waist style, for cashmere and other materials of the season. The tucks are exceptionally becoming and the plain centre front with the revers gives a distinctively novel effect. The waist is made with fronts and back. The back is tucked at the centre. The fronts combine full length tucks with those that are stitched to yoke depth and are just becomingly full. The right front is faced and turned back to form the revers and pretty buttons are used as trimming. The sleeves are in regulation shirt waist style, finished with straight cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-four, three and three-eighth yards thirty-two or two and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Parls Chapeaux. Millinery remains at an inflated cost compared with that of frocks. Hats with algrettes average from $60 to $90 each, while a model bunched with field flowers or roses cost $20 to $40. On one hat fifty-two roses were counted, and on another sixteen ostrich feathers towered high. Polonaise Fashionable. The polonaise is a growing fashion, and it is promised that a good many will be seen this season. Box Pleated Skirt. Every variation of the pleated skirt is to be found in the incoming styles, but the one that gives a suggestion of the yoke utilized in one way or another is a pronounced favorite. This model is so arranged as to provide unbroken lines at the front and the back when used with the yoke, and it allows a choice of such treatment or of the plain box pleated skirt. In the illustration one of the novelty suitings is finished with stitching, the color being the bronze which promises to be such a fayote. Almost all suitings and all skirting materials are appropriate, however, as the skirt will be found just as well adapted to cashmere and similar materials of indoor wear as it is to the heavier suitings. It is made in walking length, and whether the yoke is used or not is stitched flat. over the hips, doing away with all bulk at that point. M The skirt is made in six gores, but the seams are all concealed by the pleats. When the yoke is used, it is arranged over the side portions and its ends are concealed by the front and back pleats. The closing is made invisibly at the left of the back. 242 The quantity of material required for the medium size is ten and one-half yards twenty-four, nine and one-quarter yards twenty-seven, six and three-quarter yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. The width of skirt at low edge: three and three-quarter yards. New Turbans. Still little turbans in purple, with large black wings, are stylish, and are worn as frequently with suits of navy blue as with black. The other day I came across a fine large Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) wading along a dusty trail, noosed it with a piece of string and carried it to camp. "You want to be careful how you handle them things," Sonora warned me. "Many a fellow has died by bein' bit by 'em." I asked for particulars, names of the victims, dates and places of their untimely demise, duration and character of their suffering. "Well, I myself never seen any one bit by 'em," he answered, "but I've heard of 'em plenty. Any Mexican will tell you that their bite kills." I used an old washtub for a pen for my lizards, and that evening when Enders' chickens went to roost I captured a lean and venerable rooster for an experiment I had in view. In the morning, grasping the bird by the legs, I thrust it time and again head first against the head of the monster, but the latter only shrank back and sluggishly attempted to turn tall to the attacks. I goaded it with a stick, even switched it with a willow cutting, but nothing I did aroused its fire. Finally I killed the heloderma, made an incision in the rooster's thigh and inoculated it with the well mixed blood, saliva and fluid from the former's mouth, throat and upper and lower jaw. "I'll bet that rooster 'll be dead in an hour!" exclaimed Sonora, who was assisting in the experiment. "I don't know about an hour, but I'll bet, he be dead before night," Old Timer offered. Three days have elapsed, and except for a slight lameness the rooster has shown no effect of the ordeal. At this moment he is scratching around at the head of his harem and crowing as nonchalantly as ever he did. I have concluded that the Gila monster has no poison glands. Portions of unswallowed food may and doubtless do ferment in its mouth at times, and this a person bliten by one may be poisoned.—Forest and Stream. An Inventory of Alaska. Uncle Sam has determined to find out definitely if all these reports he has been receiving unofficially about the great value of Alaska be true. To that end he has sent into the vast territory a regiment of surveyors and an army of camp bands, not only to chart the surface and tell what it is like, but to look below the surface and ascertain what it has locked up. The field season of these parties differs greatly, but the work is carried on between March and November. Among the most important results of last year's work were the completion of detailed surveys of the two most important copper districts of Prince of Wales Sound region, the completion of the reconnoissance survey of copper-bearing areas of the Prince William Sound and the Copper-White River regions, and the completion of the reconnoissance survey of the coals of the Alaska peninsula region. In the Seward peninsula alone thirty-two gauging stations are maintained, and data on 2000 square miles of mining land have been obtained. Van Norden Magazine. Ericsson and the Dreadnoughts. The naval correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, of London, reminds the world that the great British Dreadnought, which is credited with revolutionizing battleship construction, is a direct descendant of that Monitor of Ericsson's which nearly half a century ago caused a still greater change in the navies of the world. The Monitor, he argues, was the first "all big guns" ship, as well as the first with a revolving turret. "Downing street," said Ericsson, "will hardly view with indifference this latest 'Yankee notion.'" The prophecy was true. After a little delay the British admiralty adopted the American design, and one of the first three turret ships which it built, which were also its first "all big may be seen the germ of the Dreadnought. In the design of that ship may be seen the grim of the Dreadnought of to-day. Between the two there have been many changes and many experiments, but now there is a reversion-to the original" type, of course much enlarged and improved.—New York Tribune. Electric Power. Rio de Janeiro is one of the first capital cities of the world to be adequately supplied with hydro-generated electric power. The current is transmitted at 88,000 volts from the generating station at a water power fifty-one miles away to a receiving station in the city, where it is stepped down by transformers to 6300 volts, at which pressure it is supplied to the general feeders for lighting and power. The general distribution is by means of four-wire three-phase system, giving 120 volts to lamps, etc., between outside wires and neutral—the first time that this system has been tried upon so large a scale.

To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast!" - Shakespear. To me there is no more interesting problem in psychology! Come to think of it, this whole question of alcoholism is one of the most astounding puzzles in moral inconsistency and intellectual perseverity that has ever come before the intelligent world for solution. Why we should tolerate this accursed stuff among us, with the evidences of its cruelly destructive nature confronting us at every turn, is a question that should 'stare us as to our own personal sanity! In its initial stages alcoholism is the birthplace of moral and physical degeneracy, later on the hotbed of disgrace, and, at the last, the burial ground of wrecked hopes, of ruined careers, of lost souls and all that might, but for it, have been so beautiful and good and true. Why do men drink? It is the dew that moistens the "roadway to hell! Yet we nurture the germs of our future hopes and years in its foul pollution, we snuck it to our innocent babes, and proffer it to one another at the most sacred rites of our religious beliefs! Why do we do it? "Wine throws a man out of himself, and infuses qualities into the mind which she is a stranger to in her spher moments."—Addison. Why do men drink? Ask the "total abstainer" who snillingly offers it to his guests. Ask the "moderate drunkard," who, sneering at his, more involved brothers, wickedly boasts that he can "taste or eat" her. Ask the "divinist" who, sweeping and loyality, for the companions of his debauch takes to the tall timber at the first sign of trouble. Ask the "dipsomaniac," who periodically kisses death in so perfect Niagara of the vile stuff he abmoritates. Ask the poor "chronic inebriate," who but "marks time" in the morass of alcoholic binge till the reaper gathers him in. "Who hath woe?" Who hath sorrow? They that tary at the wine. It biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder."—The Bible. Why do men drink? Of what use is medical science if this question cannot be answered? We are given countless good and sufficient reasons why men should not drink, but no one seems ever to have sounded the depths of human perversity for one good and sufficient reason why men do drink! The fact of the matter is that, with few exceptions, everyone who comes within the alcoholic atmosphere falls under its control—they become obsessed with a moral, obliquity, or what may be perhaps more correctly termed an intellectual strabismus—the axis of their mental vision has become deranged by alcoholic hypnosis, and their logical instinct a no-responsive blur. Nature has supplied an antidote for all her ills—is there no immunity from the infatuation of this mirage? No redemption for those who have fallen? No hope for the lost? "Drunkenness is notothing" else than a voluntary madness"—Semecar. Let us be truthful—we do not want to escape it! Our fathers pledged their friends in it, and our mothers wet our lips with it. On the tips of their rosy fingers. What was good enough for them is good enough for us! Our mental process will not, or can not, travel farther. We have been unfairly dealt with by the countless generations who have before our birth, and during our helpless childhood, the fine clockwork of our mental balance, has been tampered with, and thrown awry by alcoholic stimulants; and now, we have ears that hear not, and eyes that see not. We welcome bestiality with an inane smile, and extend the glad hand to shame and ruin! "Oh, wad some power the gritic gie us, to see ours!" sas others see us!" Is there absolutely nothing in all this wide, wide world, that can free us of our asses' ears? "Soon as the.potion,works,their human countenance." The express resemblance of the gods is changed, and so perfect is their misery. Not once perceive their foul disfigurement. A marvelous change has taken place in the drink habit in the past century. In the United States for instance, it is true that the consumption of drink has reached a high per capita mark, despite the vigorous temperance work, including education, through the population and the energy of the liquid trade are understood. There is, nevertheless a tremendous increase, universally admitted, in the sobriety of the people as a whole. It may be truthfully said, for example, that the growing demands of business for sober living completely abstaining employees have followed education of youth in the facts showing how drink tends to impair efficiency and reliability. A generation of employers has been reared who not only have an idea that had their fathers that drink makes poor workmen, but taught by, the facts of science, they know the definite risk. Alcohol and Préñmonia. Dr. Mooreheed, "a great physician of Edinburgh, inland of alcohol in pneumonia." If I can get a patient who has had no alcohol, I have very seldom any doubt as to the result of that attack of pneumonia, and find that it is never necessary to give alcohol in these cases at all; in fact, the patients do suffer without it." No Constitutional Cloak. The alcoholic drink trade is not protected by our National Constitution Amendment. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter. Advertising rates given on application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga. as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1909 We feel that our women are as good as anybody elses, and we must honor, respect and protect them accordingly. Every business enterprise, successfully managed, makes an epoch in race uplift. We need more of them in our city. THE TRIBUNE invites our men of means and ability to branch out. The time is now ripe; grasp the opportunity before it is too late. Ou'r young men should think more about self-uplift and less of a good time, spending their money for pleasures and "burning the candle at both ends," one of the things that the enemies of the race encourage us to do. Don't be encouraged in that direction. This is a prosperous year with the farmers. Many of them have raised good crops and are getting a larger price for their cotton than heretofore. And right here it is necessary for a certain class of our farmers to be cautioned and advised to husband their earnings. Of course all honest debts should be paid, but at the same time they should not forget to lay aside a goodly part of their earnings for the season when reverses may come. DEFAMERS of our race like Tom Watson, do not come in contact with the better element among us. They consider things as they once obtained during the days of slavery and only observe that class of our women who are mostly seen on the public highways. We have among us women who are chaste and refined and homes that are uplifting. If Tom Watson and his ilk would learn more about the home-life of the better element of our people and visit less the slums and localities where many of us are unfortunately huddled together, they would change their opinion about the chastity of our women. On account of conditions, Tom Watson has taken advantage of us by insulting our women. A manly man would help to uplift the weak and not give an insult because he has the power to do so. The paper read by School Commissioner, Chas. L. Coon of North Carolina, before the Educational meeting last spring in Atlanta, refutes entirely, the statement of State School Commissioner Pound of this state. In speaking of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, Mr. Coon said that "if in these states we take the amounts the Negroes actually pay on property and polls, their part of the taxes imposed on railroads and other corporations, their part of the license taxes devoted to schools, it will be found that the Negroes part of the school fund raised * * by Georgia in 1907, $647.852. Georgia spent the same year, $506.170. "Thus it will be seen," continued Mr. Coon, "that when any fair division of the school funds of these states is made, on the race basis, the Negroes will fare as well as they are now faring in the absence of such race division. "It has been generally assumed that the white tax payer is now bearing nearly all the burden of the Negro public schools. But the figures for North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia seem to indicate clearly that this is not the case. If we divided the present school funds of the south on the race basis, how would we divide the funds raised by taxes on railroad and other corporation property which is not listed as either white or black? How would we divide the license taxes and the income from the permanent school funds? It seems fair to assume that all such funds would have to be divided according to population. If that is done, then it is not likely that the present cost of the Negro public schools is a burden on the white tax payer of the south." THIS TERMINE is willing to stand by the figures as given above and discount those of our State School Commissioner, who tried to give Georgia credit for more than she is doing for the colored children and also stating that the State gives $8000.00 for our higher education when it gives not a penny. MISS YOUNG who addressed the Women Missionary meeting in session in this city during the week, told some mighty truths in saying that it is not well for our girls to work in many homes on account of being unprotected from the many moral lepers, and too, on account of the very poor pay that is given. THE TRIBUNE has very often stated that if those who need the services of our women and girls would pay higher wages and give them more protection, they would be able to get a better class of help. Unfortunately for our girls they are being assailed on all sides. CIRCULARS have been sent to many of the leaders in each county of the First Congressional district urging registration of the voters. Let everybody get busy and have the registration list in every county increased. EFFORTS are being made to universally observe the fiftieth year of the execution of John Brown. The history of John Brown is well known to every colored reader. He was among the first martyrs for the cause of freedom, and his memory should be ever kept green. In our city we have a large number of young men who are holding good positions and earning a fair salary. Many of these young men are spendthrift. It is time for these young men to call a halt and commence preparing for the future by saving a part of their earnings regularly. They should learn a lesson from the penniless foreigners who by frugal living, in a few years become independent. The spending of money for a good time amounts to nothing in the end but broken health and candidates for the poor house. An alleged brutality of a policeman was noted to have occurred last week on the east side. While passing a policeman standing on the corner, it is alleged that a harmless dog was without cause brutally struck by the policeman. A colored lady to whom the dog belongs demonstrated, and she was said to have been attacked by the policeman who caught her by the collar and shook her unmercifully and demanded that she should keep quiet. The appearance of a friend caused the policeman to loosen his hold on the lady. If this is true, the lady should have lost no time in reporting the occurrence to those in authority, whom we know will not stand for such acts of any policeman. And in fact brutality of this kind should not be allowed to go by without some protest. These People Should be Commended. An occasion that deserves more than passing notice was an educational rally held at Brampton Baptist Church in Woodville, a suburban village near this city. It seems that the school house in Woodville used for the county public school system is in a horrible condition, and as is well known the public school authorities do not provide school houses for Negro children as is done for whites, the people of Woodville met and formed themselves into an association to raise funds for the purpose of building a school house. The various churches agreed to hold rallies for the purpose of raising this building fund and on last Sunday the first of these rallies was held at Brampton Church, Rev. P. W. Hunter, pastor, with the result that more than forty dollars was collected. They had with them several friends from the city who spoke words of encouragement and promised financial assistance towards the cause. The other churches of the neighborhood will hold similar rallies until sufficient money has been raised for the purpose outlined. This movement deserves the attention and emulation of other communities in this county and in a short time Chatham County will be dotted with such school buildings as is necessary for the comfort of our children and teachers. Let the good work continue. Let Us Hear from the Business Men. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 8, 1909 Editor Savannah Tribune: Dear Sir: Will you kindly insert a few lines in your paper concerning the good of an 'organization of the men of Savannah for commercial advancement? Is there a need for such an organization? It is true one has never been able to exist for any length of time; but was the time ripe? Were the men interested! Did they realize the importance of such a cooperative move? Was it conducted on a straightforward business basis? Yes sir, the time is ripe for a live, healthy and active association in Savannah, of men who should quickly perceive the demands and supply the same. There has always been a unanimous opinion expressed that there was a need to assess the success but the always came in the working out. I do believe that this same opinion prevails today. How. I do not think the men realized the importance of this cooperating one with another. For if they did, so important a venture would never be so shamefully neglected. I have confidence in the ability of I-gavannah men as much as the men of any other city. Therefore, let us get together and devise plans whereby this move will be the last and the best. Sayannah men are asleep in some respect and the hour is now at hand to wake up. We are losing so very much day by day simply for like to hear some views from through the columns of THE Thanking you for your kind- Very truly yours, One in Business. Don't You Wish That You Owned Shares? THE TRIBUNE rejoices with the officers of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company for the excellent showing made and the earings of the company during the fiscal year ending October 5th. At a meeting of the directors a dividend of twelve per cent. was declared. The annual meeting of the company will be held November 1st. This is Georgia's most substantial institution. The company is doing much good in inspiring our people to save, own homes and purchase property. Notice to Correspondents.

The distinguished guest was the P G M Council No. 60 and the Pariarchie No. 38. The latter in their hands nuiseful looked just grand. The memorial services in honor of Mz. Zig Zig Waldman, the late P. I. P. P. I. and the master of ceremony made very touching remarks on the life of the deceased Pariarch. Mrs. F A Merchison, W R of H of R No. 118 read a paper on the life of Saul. Mrs. Frances Mason, N G of H of R No. 118 read an excellent paper on the life of Mr. J W Waldburg. Rev. Wright who was well acquainted with the deceased eulogized him highly. He told the guest that he wanted them to feel at home and to come down as often as they cared to come. The choir rendered excellent music. The Order contributed to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. On Sunday morning Rev. Wright's subject was "The Lord takes pleasure in his people." The sermon was an excellent consolation to Christians. The choir sang very sweetly "Ye saints address t h throne." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Lord lead the saints." Rev. Wright read for the lesson Isa. 53. The text was from Exodus 17:5; the subject was "Typical Illusion. He painted a beautiful picture of the children of Israel crossing the Red sea. The lesson that he drew for his hearers was, that no matter how closely your enemies may be upon you, God will never let his children suffer. So impressed were those who needed prayer that it took very few words from Rev. Wright to fill every available space with them. Prayer was offered in their behalf. Sun day will be our communion day, we would be glad to have you come down. St. Benedict's Church. Sunday October 24th, 21st Sunday after Pentecost and feast of Patronage of the Blessed Virgin. First Mass at 7 a.m with short instruction. High Mass and sermon at 10 a.m. Sunday School at 4 p.m. Rosary sermon and benediction at 8 p.m. The morning sermon will be preached by Ren. Gustave Olbrecht and will be on the gospel of the day. In the evening Father Dahent will continue the explanation of the Apostle's Creed. Text, "I believe in Jesus Christ." On the fourth Sunday in November the Catholic Mutual Aid Society will receive holy communion in a body; and at 4 p.m they will have a special meeting in the school rooms. Important matters of the sermon and benediction are requested to be present. At last Sunday's meeting of St. Mary's Charitable Aid Society. Mrs. M. Mills, chairlady of the sick committee, read the report of the work done by that society for the poor and the sick of St Benedict's congregation. The report most encouraging and showed the St. Mary's Society is doing a great amount of good to our poor and sick members. The festival given at Harris Street hall for the benefit of St. Ben. dict's Church has been a great success. It was a most pleasant evening for the members of the church and their friends, and a good sum of money was realized for the church. The expenses of the priests of St. Benedict's Church are very high this year on account of the three schools under their charge. The friends of the schools intend to give in the near future a concert and festival for the benefit, the Chatham Hatch School, the project a deserving one they depend on the help of encouragement, of all those who have at least the welfare of the hundred of colored children who frequent the school. Further particulars will be given later. F A B Church It was generally acknowledged that the services on last Sunday, which terminated the series meeting /in the "Home Cong" service were more impressible than any heretofore on a similar occasion. The pastor, Rev W L Jones, preached at the rt of clock services from Joshua'srts subject, "Coming home," and what to bring." The force with which he delivered his sermon captivated not only the wandering christians, and made them see the need to come home, but convicted one sinner who boldly arose amidst the services and acknowledge the Savior precious to his soul. The results of this sermon had a tendency to draw quite a large crowd out at the night service at which time the Rev Howell preached an able sermon from the subject, "The Description of Heaven" The beautiful hymns which the choir chanted softly at each service were appealing and while the sermons had their effects, the hymns had theirs. The program rendered by the Sabbath school in the afternoon was too, impressive, and made the hearts of young and old feel glad. The good fatherly talk from Rev Byrd our venerable licentiate, and Lic B Arkwright was heartily received. The quattly financial report of the church was read by the church clerk at the conference on Monday night, which showed that this financial condition of the church is most creditable. The Sons and Daughters of Joseph will attend the night service on tomorrow) Sunday in a body to have God's benediction invoked on them by the pastor. The pastor and our choir participated in the anniversary celebration of Mt Tabor Baptist Church, on last Wednesday evening. A cotton picking party will be held in memory of the church on Monday, night October 25. Admission 10 cents. A prize is offered for the person picking the most cotton and ginning the seeds with their fingers. This will be a worthy entertainment. Come and bring your friends. Refreshments will be sold. Second Baptist Church. The revival services are in progress here now and every body is invited. The pastor will preach special revival sermons at both hours tomorrow. Rev. B Molett, will preach all next week upon different siblings, such as "The new birth," "The day of Judgment." "The dry bones," etc. Revs. L L Blair, L W Daughtry, J S Irby, D Wright, D W Cannon and others will be associated in the meeting. Dr. C T Walker will probably preach the last nights of the meeting, summon a day school election held on Sunday, only to be made. The sick list is smaller; those sick are sisters Eady, Smith, Renniarl Maxwell, Brown. Two funerals this week. The pastor communed with Rev. Blair and church last Sunday, he and people will also commune with First Bryan Church tomorrow. These two churches will commune with us the next second Sunday. Keep your mind on the big Thanksgiving services to be held here. The pastor's morning subject The song of saints on higher ground." Rev. Cermon night, eight choir singalong services in the services tomorrow. All the children wanted tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. All members will remember that tomorrow is pastor's salary day and come prepared. Secretary Roberts will begin roll call tomorrow and use 15 minutes each Sunday till the new roll is made out. St. Philip Dots. The fourth quarterly, conference of St. Phillip for 1909 adjourned on Sunday night. This was one of the most successful events ever held in St. Phillip or any where else in the West Savannah District and will go down in history as such. We had among our visitors some of the most distinguished ministers of the Georgia Conference in the persons of Presiding Elder B S Hannah of the Savannah District, Rev. B J Rose of Bethel and Rev. P Greathew of St. James Tabernacle. Each one of these eloquently commented on the various reports in a way that will never be forgotten. It is strange to say, but nevertheless it is true, that trio of fluent speakers are looking this why, Only a few more weeks and Rev. Lindsay's time will be up. Presiding Elder R I Singleton preached at 11 a.m. The choir and congregation sang hymn No. 1. Rev. Singleton again preached at 8 p.m. His disciples drew the strictest attention of the congregation with their spellbond with the biblical truths that were expounded and the urgent request that was made to the wayward to turn from their ways before they had become hardened-and passed the day of salvation. He were and visitor who heard these eloquent subjects discussed within themselves "did not our hearts burn" within while he spoke by the wayside. After services on Sunday night, Rev. Singleton complimented the members for their loyalty to the church and what they had done under the present administration and hope that they will have erected an edifice that will be in keeping with the standing of the church. He also urged the old men and the young the importance of citizenship and the protection of wives and daughters by going to the court and registering for marriage in line because they don't know when emergency will arise. The officials and members of St. Phillip regret very much to know that Prof. W O Castleberry, one of our most useful members, is to leave St. Phillip or that he will not be with us as regular as he used to. We congratulate him on his promotion in the field of business. Tomorrow will be grustees day and we urge our members to come out and be as liberal as possible because this department is in need of funds. They have several important bills to meet. Sunday Oct. 31, will he dollar money rally, our members must pay up, the time is short. The usual services will be held on tomorrow.

The church was decked in flowers. The bridal party consisted of eight young ladies dressed in the colors of the rainbow, each carrying a shepherd crook wrapped in the color of their dresses. Little Leonodis Simmons and George Lewis, Jr., acted as flower girl and ring bearer. Miss Mary Brown of Long Beach was maid of honor, she carried a white satin pillar for the bride and groom to kneel upon. The bride came in on her father's arm. Her dress was of cream satin trimmed in gold trimmings and real lace. She carried a white prayer book. Miss Brown received many useful and valuable presents from all parts of the county and one from Scotland. The parents' present was the furnishing of the artistic bungalow, a present from the groom with old mission furniture. The bride was royally entertained by her numerous friends having given her seven different showers, namely linen, book, kitchen, handkerchief, can fruit, miscellaneous showers, and chafing dish party. This young couple has the best wishes of their many Savannah friends for their future happiness. Eureka Banquet. The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club, ably assisted by the junior Club and Ladies Branch entertained their friends royally at a banquet given at their rooms on Wednesday evening of this week in honor of their twenty-first anniversary.

The menu was excellent and served with dispatch. The welcome address by Mr. Jos. J. Brown followed by responses by Prof. L. B. Thompson and Mr. F. J. Hilton with some well rendered selections by the Eureka Quartette and the quaintly pleasing "Eureka yell," enhanced the evening's entertainment. On the whole the affair was a success of which the club should feel proud. In their search for ways to best entertain, they can now indeed exclaim "We have found it." The Evening Call Ball and Ecte.

Barley in this test proved to be a shade the better. Twenty- seven per cent less alfalfa and twenty- eight per cont. less grain was required where barley replaced emmer in a tation. . Grade lambs with mutton sires tmade greater gains, conditions being similar, than did Ramboulllet lambs, though a recdrd of food conguription foz each class was not kept. "The Western stockman has a feed 4n barley that is of great value for meat production, and may be used to advantage as a corn substitute. (Wyominz Station. _Corn Versus Oats as Horse Feed. ‘The Ohto station recently conduct- ed some experiments to test the wide- spread belief that oats are superior ito other grain as a feed for horses. ‘Six mature grade Percheron geldings iwere fed on a basal ration of clover and timothy hay, three receiving oats and three corn as a supplementary “gation. Estimating corn to be worth Yorty cents per bushel, oats thirty ents per bushel, and hay $8 per ton at the tite the experiments were made, it was found that the average cost. of food per bour of work was 3.3 cents for the corn-fed horses and 4.54 cents for those fed oats. The use ‘of corti to the exclusion of other grain for a period of forty-eight weeks was not found detrimental to the health of work horses and they endured hard work during the hot weather as well ‘ds those receiving oats. When mixed \(clover and timothy) hay was fed fo mature gelditgs at general farm work, ear cof was practically as ‘efficient, pound for pound, as oats. A ‘drop in weight of the corn-fed horses coincident with the beginning of the use of shelled corn indicates that ear corn is to be preferred above shelled corn for work horses. of Seedine the Crows. ‘The noted millionaire farmer, David Rankin, of Missouri, says: Ihave been asked why I always feed all my corn, and I always say— first, I find it profitable to feed it, be- cause in that way I can get {ull value out of it, and secondly, I also gain an immense amount of ‘fertilizer, and “then to haul my corn to the railroad to‘ship would be a big job. And, further, I do .not believe im selling raw material. You see, I run my farming business something on thc plan of the manufacturing industries ot the country. I want to sell the ‘finished product, and can do so only by feeding all I raise to stock. If by doing so, T gain only an average of ‘$1 a heud for the cattle and hozs 1 feed, you see it pays me. But, of course, I expect to make more than that. - I would recommend to every farm: er t6 feed his crops rather than haul the grain off the place. My observa. ‘tion is that a great many farmers de not carry out their work as far as they can. They sell too much raw material and not enough finished ‘product. It is true, there are years that the return from a crop might be ‘greater, but year in and year out, it will pay you to feed all you raise. ‘+ «= SPeantifyine-the Farm. ,z At the last annual meeting of the /Penn§ylvania Horticultural Associa- tion, S, M. Meehan spoke as follows Won the ~Beautification of Waste “Places:” -A dwelling place should be made a -home in every sense of the word. The -grounds immediately sitrrounding the .house and beyond shovid be made attractive and lovely to those who live right on thé spot. But then we must ‘think of others, too. We want to Dleuse our visitors, friends and neigh- bors, and in fact every one who passes “by. It fs rightly a matter for per- sonal pride that our surroundings be :amade to speak our appreciation of the “peautles of nature, Z A good expanse of lawn may be “considered onc of the chief aims, be- cause when that fs set apart, it offers ;many opportunities for development fin detail and effects, Decide to havo a flower garden— not simply flower beds and borders around the grounds, but something of an enclosure into which one may pass and feel that he is in a different atmosphere, ‘where flowers are on ‘every side jnviting admiration and Sn- ‘terest. I know of no phase of garden- ‘Ing that'is more delightful, invigorat~ ‘ing und care-destroying than tHat which relates to the hardy flowers. A carefally selected assortment gives & profusion of flowers all the year, from the very earliest spring days when somé will open their adventur- ous blossoms almost out from the snow, to the time when some will defy the lighter frosts of the autumn. ‘A rose garden, which may be made a section of a general flower garden, is much more pleasing than where roses are simply scattered here and there. They are not fitted for pro- miscuons planting, and always Fe- spond better to definite treatment. There are many kinds of waste places. Perhaps one may be the stump of an old tree which would be deautified if a vine were allowed to amber over it. - Jlard Milkers, Dr. David Roberts, the Wisconsin State Veterinarian, says this trouble is due to an abnormal contraction of the sphincter muscles at the feat and oftentimes reduces thevyalue of what might have otherwise been a valu- able cow, as no one wishes to pur- chase or own what is termed as a hard milker, but if stock owners knew how easily this trouble could be overcome they would never think of disposing of a hard milker at a sacrifice, ag is now being done by many. The mere fact that a cow is a hard milker does not indicate that she is not a good milker, but owing to the fact that she is a hard milker is of- tentimes neglected at milking time by a disgusted milker ‘who leaves a large quantity of the milk in her udder that should have been drawn out. Stockmn who know how to handle such cases oftentimes buy valuable cows owing to the fact that they aro hard milkers and by the use of a teat plug and a few treatments for hard milking, cause them to become splen- did, easy mllkers, thereby increasing their value many more times than the cost of the treatment. A milking tube should never be used in such eases, as there is too much danger of infection and the results are not as good a3 from the uso of the teat plus. Curing Clover Mar. I have read a good deal in farm Journsls about curing alfalfa, ete., under hay caps, but have uever seen my method published. While I do not pretend to say it is perfect, it gives the best results cf any method I have ever seen tried, considering quality of hay and expense.of mak- ing it. T start. cltting,just 2s soon as the clover comes into bloom, and try to arrange to have it all cut by the time the heads begin to turn brown. My haying outfit consists of one mower, one side delivery rake, one hay loader and rack wagon, a two-wheel cart at- tached to hoisting rope 6f harpoon fork. - I have a seron-eighths bolt set in axle of cart, and a ring tled into rope, and whenever fork full of hay is dumped, the driver simply throws the ring off the bolt, and man on the wagon can have harpoon back and nearly ready with another fork full by the time the team gets back. In this way it takes only a few minutes to unload a large load of bay, usually about five forks full. My way of curing Is as, follows: Cut what wil make about four or five loads of hay. After the dew is off start, say, at 8.30 or ‘9 o'clock. Throw it into windrows with a side delivery rake just before the dew falls in the evening. The next morning mow until about 11 a. m., and then take the rake and tip the windrows, made the day before, ‘upside down, and immediately after-dinner you can start hauling in the barn. With two men, a good hay loader and a boy to drive team on hay fork, you can have the four or five loads of cured hay in the barn in time to rake up wha: yon cut in the moraing, it you have but a short distance to haul. By following the system of cutting just what you think you an haul 1' the next day from noon till evening. yeu will be surprised how much hay can ,be put into the barn with lttie expense. My bilt for hired help for three years has run from tifty to sixty cents per ton to put hay into the barn, all work hired except my own. And you will be surprised at the qual- ity of the hay. When you throw down hay for the stock you can smell it all over the barn. ‘No dust, no musty smell, and lots of clover Readr just as red as whea cut. Horses anc colts will winter on it without an, grain, and do fine. In ‘case it rains and your bay ! in windrows do not scatter it out, bu take your side delivery rake and driv alongside each windrow just close enough to kick it up into a flufty windrow and let the wind blow through it. Do this about twice, and your hay will be ready for the barn, and you can scarcely tell it has been wet. : it any one bas a_better system, 1 hope to hear from him, Jor good hay is a hobby of intne—J.

He found the nest under an apple tree, and, although the eggs were larger arcund than the snake's head, his neck, or even bis body, he had no trouble in getting them pushed down the narrow passage. You could see them go without any trouble, and when the four eggs were in the-snake You could see the four knots on the snake. But how did he digest them?

"Arlington, N. J.—Mrs. Mary Pattison, president of the New Jersey Women's Federated Clubs, has built the ideal village—in her imagination. But she is sure that if such a place existed in fact it would be "a slightly elevated spot somewhere, of course, in New Jersey." This is how Mrs. Pattison pictured the ideal village in a talk before the members of the Civic Club of Arlington: "Let us take an imaginary journey," she said, "to a slightly elevated spot somewhere—of course in New Jersey—and build an ideal village or town. Let there be a clean, wide sweep of greensward shaded with trees and cut with winding roads, a few hills and a cool, picturesque valley to one side, through which a clear, happy rivulet curls its way untainted with sewerage and disease-carrying insects and unspoiled by the dumps of refuse usually deposited along such banks. Let us see there instead grass, flowers and birds. "On one of these hills near by we find a roomy schoolhouse, than which nothing better is known, where the children are being educated in the real things of life, in common sense, and in industrial and organic matters, with no danger of forced mentality. Here we find usefulness with beauty of method; as a result, horse or coarse play and disrespect are unknown; individual and careful thinking are encouraged, and appreciation is developed, with charm of manner and the cultivation of the healthiest bodies. "In the centre of the town, near a few choice shops and offices, we find an airy and well built market, where only the best and purest foods can be bought, not necessarily luxuries, but the substantial varieties that make blood and muscle strong and of good quality—a place where it is not sufficient to simply label the contents of packages, but where it is necessary to tell which beefsteak has had its juice St. Louis. — That conditions of American life promote insanity and that heredity, alcohol and a special group of diseases are rapidly increasing the number of insane persons in proportion to the total population were statements made by Dr. Leo M. Crafts, of Minneapolis, before the Mississippi Valley Medical Association. Dr. Crafts, giving figures for States which he said were typical, showed the extent to which insanity had increased in this country during the past generation. The insane percentage of Illinois as typical of this section, he said, in the past thirty years South Norwalk, Conn.—The police and public of Darlen are up in arms over the actions of a New York automobilist who is, they say, the meanest man on earth. This man, whose number they think is 1770, fastens a large limb to the rear of his machine and, with this trailing in the road, he goes racing through the town, leaving a cloud of dust which entirely envelops him and the machine number, and which leaves the town sputtering and fuming, winking and blinking, for some minutes. Even the Rev. H. S. Brown has joined in the protest, saying that the nuisance is the cause of perversion, New Church to Be Provided With Airship Landing Place on Roof. Atlanta. — Anticipating that airships will be in common use in a few years the officials of Wesley Memorial Methodist Church, now nearing completion, instructed the building committee to so arrange the roof that there will be no difficulty in adapting it to airship landings. The officials declared that in future years the communicants of the church would sail to and from the services in airships, just as they now speed their automobiles. extracted, what fish and fowl have been embalmed, what animals died in disease, and what fruit has had its natural fermentation stopped by the use of preservatives. It is, in fact, a place to buy food where one is not in danger of one's life, or worse, one's health, at every turn. "Let us perhaps build two churches in our beautiful village, although that may be one too many; but let there be one opening the gate of heaven through the intellectual door or under the portal of the understanding where reason reigns and science proves; then a little further on let us find another, bringing God on earth through the aid of the emotions, with the heart as the knower and the senses trained to love. Let them both be beautiful, but let us go first to one and then the other till in the future they unite. "Our community is made up of homes, cheerful, normal, happy homes, individual in expression, cooperate in management and lovely in design, where the atmosphere is the guilding element, where nothing is held that gives more trouble than worth, where harmony, health and happiness leave-not a crevice for hell to peek through. "And now a little walk to the right, and opposite the park we are led to the village clubhouse, a fine pleasure edifice equipped for all ages. It is a place where play and gymnastics are supervised, a place for games of all sorts, with rooms for music, art, dancing, etc., and for that foolish frivolity without which society would lose its charms. "May we keep our hand to the wheel, and help to usher in the new village home, if not in detail, at least in essence—a home where one might free the spirit by just living, where doctors and lawyers are at the minimum in number and teachers at the maximum, a place where only health is known, and where the whole air rings with life." --- has increased four times as rapidly as has the population. Other States and sections were no better off, he said. According to Dr. Crafts, other countries were developing insanity through American habits. Since Japan adopted Western methods of doing things the proportion of insane persons in that empire has rapidly increased. The negro was also pointed to as furnishing another example of a race incapable of adoption of American methods and environment without an increase in the number of those who go crazy and have to be confined in retreats. and that a match factory would have a better chance of doing business in the atmosphere of the place than a preacher when the dust is in the air. The autoist fastens the large limb to his machine at one end of the town and drops it off at the other end. Under the old-Connecticut law Darien had a reputation for arresting speeding automobilists. As many as fifty were caught in a day and fined. It is thought that the dust fiend is a victim getting even. The new law allows of no arresting save in extreme speed cases, but the police intend to arrest him as a common nuisance and put him under bonds. Archbishop Ryan Advocates Beatification of Columbus. Philadelphia. — The beatification of Christopher Columbus was advocated by Archbishop Ryan here in a speech delivered at the Columbus Day banquet given by the Knights of Columbus. The Archbishop, referring to the beatification of Joan of Arc, said that it was his dearest wish to "live and see that other hero, Christopher Columbus, also canonized and take his place among the saints as the patron of the Knights of Columbus." STATE BAPTIST CALL STATE BAPTIST CALL Office Recording Secretary M.-B, C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia. In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make safe rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give; as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th. Now, we have some white friends who have, and are still standing by us; and in view of that, let me, as your secretary, urge that we make the keenest sacrifice and raise for printing and general expenses, besides education, not less than $500. There are some outstanding claims which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fall to provide for us so that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately. Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church. Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. What ever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Yours for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia. Among the Masons. Our Orphan School in Americus is now running in full blast. A number of fortunate ones are being cared for and educated. This should cause every brother's heart to tinge with pride, and cause them to do their full duty and even more for this institution. The assessment is due, and every lodge should forward same to Brother Spencer: Brother W. C. Thomas of the Relief Department some weeks ago sent out, through the Grand Secretary's office, lists of a large number of the brethren suspended from that department for non-applying with the rules in keeping up payments, etc. These brethren must do their full duty by keeping up. All desiring information along this line must apply to Brother W. C. Thomas, Box 543, Atlanta, Ga. We rejoice with our brethren who are farmers on account of the large crops made and the prevailing good prices. We admonish them to pay their just debts, purchase only the necessities of life and put away a large sum for the time when crops may not be so plentiful and prices are low. In other words let them prepare for a "rainy day." The officers of a lodge should be prompt in their attendance, but this is of no more importance than for each member to be equally prompt. What can the officers do more than open the lodge unless the members are present.—The Globe. My conception of Masofry is that it Is an absolutely necessary working force in the betterment of the world's condition — that no greater misfortune to man can be conceived that the loss of Masonic influence would be, and that in so far as it fails to make universal man better and happier, within reasonable limitations, it fails to be Masonry, and if that, is true conception we want to increase its unity, to pass its resources and to make the name of Mason mean oneness of fraternal purpose and an absolute union of fraternal effort. Our temple is ornamental. Nothing that represents all the higher graces and best attributes of the heart, as Masonry does, can fail to be that when such graces and attributes are the tracings of divinity in a man. James B. McPatrick, Chicago. LAW AND ORDER. Freemasonry is the first law and order league in the world. From the minutest details in ritual all the way up through its ethical teachings and wonderful philosophy of human action it stands immovable for order. In no human institution is greater emphasis placed upon the ancient customs and usages than in the ancient craft. Even to such an extent has this gone that some look upon this conservatism as partaking somewhat of fogyism and fossilism. The landmarks are our common law. This charter of liberties may sometimes be in some doubt in its application and readjustment to changed conditions of modern times.—Owen Scott, P. G. M., Illinois. MASONRY MORE THAN FELLOW SHIP. Masonry has lived for hundreds—thousands—of years. Has it existed and flourished all these years simply because men have been privileged to meet together, break bread and enjoy themselves? It seems hardly possible. Masonry has lived because it has pointed out to man a better way to live; because it has contended for liberty, justice and equality; because it has stood for the elevation of mankind. There are only a few of the things Masonry stands for, and good fellowship given as the real reason for the existence of this noble order. It is pleasant and beneficial to enjoy the companionship of honorable men, and good fellowship and good cheer have a place in Masonry, but there must be something more substantial and lasting than this to give a fraternal institution the standing and influence in the world that the Masonic order from time immemorial has been privileged to enjoy.—Geo. W. Warvelle. PROMINENT PEOPLE. President Taft and his party visited the Yosemite Valley. President Taft played the first golf of his Western trip in Tacoma. Charles W.
