VOL. XXV. TAFT ON CONSERVATION President Sends Special Message to Congress on Subject. REFERS TO LAND OFFICE ROW President Taft Would Issue Bonds to Deepen Mississippi Valley Waterways. Washington, D. C.—President Taft sent to congress another special message, this time dealing with the conservation of the nation's resources. He urges the continuation of the Goosevelt policies, and pays tribute to his predecessor for his part in starting the movement. Basing his recommendations especially on those contained in the report of Secretary of the Interior Bailenger and declaring the present laws inadequate, Mr. Tatt asks prompt measures to save the nation's resources. He recommends a bond issue of $30,000,000 for the reclamation of arid lands, the bonds to run 14 years or more and the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the projects already taken up and their extension. Rentals from water sites would, he believes, aid in clearing the debt. To Safeguard Water Powers. He also urges a careful survey of the river improvement work, particularly regarding the Mississippi, in the hope that it may be pushed still further eventually. The deepening of the Ohio and the Missouri, now under way, should be pushed, he holds. The message also urges laws to safeguard the nation's water power, although the message is of especial significance in regard to the long dispute between Gifford Pinchot, late chief, forester, and Secretary Ballinger, the president mentions that controversy but briefly, declaring that the results of the congressional industry into the case are not needed to determine the value of the new legislation he urges. Improvement of the Mississippi. One of the principal recommendations of the message is the careful consideration of the improvement of the Mississippi and the pushing of the work if it is found justifiable. Referring to the present situation of the public lands President Taft makes this startling statement: "The truth is that title to millions of acres of public lands was fraudulently obtained and that the right to recover a large part of such lands for the government long since ceased by reason of statutes of limitations." Later on, returning to the illegal holding, of lands rightfully the nation's and referring specifically, although without mention of names, to the lands involved in the Ballinger-Clinch dispute — the Cunningham-Maska coal land claims— he says: The present statutes, except those that relate to purely agricultural lands or those containing precious metals, are, says the president, "not adapted to carry out the modern view best disposition of public lands rate ownership." going to the new laws he be- necessary, he declares that it duty of congress to validate handraws which have been held by the secretary of the interior president and to authorize secretary temporarily to with- hands pending submission to tests of recommendations as to condition to meet conditions orencies as they arise. Should Classify Lands. "One of the most pressing needs of public land reform," he says, "is that lands, should be classified according to their principal value or use." It was, on this point that the Bal-inger-Pinchot row hung, as the former chief forester maintained that government's conduct in the lit- tion over the Cunningham claims, Intended to thwart the United States from securing the full value of the Alaskan coal claims, which the authorities wished to secure at a nomi- value hot based on their coal strictly. means for accomplishing this holds the president, is through interior department and its reach, the geological survey. Much of the confusion, fraud and contention which has existed in the past has arisen from lack of an off- and determinative classification," is the message. Conserve Phosphate Deposits.

Wyoming—The last bucket- ement to complete the big damment dam to impound flood waters of the Shoshone river, eight shove Cody, was put in place, the event is being celebrated in eastern style. The dam is the highest structure of water in the world, 328 feet. It is along at the bottom and 200 meters at the top. It is designed back only the flood waters Shoshone, which will form an take ten miles square. This water for the irrigation acres of land. The Savannah Tribune. ed States, is that agricultural lands be disposed of as such; coal, oil, asphaltum, natural gas and phosphate properties being reserved. The surface of such lands could be disposed of as agricultural, the mineral and other sub-surface rights being leased on a royalty basis, a specific amount of work each year being demanded. Such leases should provide against the creation of an illegal monopoly, under penalty of forfeiture. "The extent of the value of phosphate is hardly realized," says the message, declaring that this staple for fertilizers will undoubtedly be sought by monopolists. This is of timely interest in connection with the protest of the United States to Germany regarding the latter's proposed law regulating the production of phosphates." Balking, a Mistress Trust. Baking a Water Trust. The prevention of a water trust is possible, says the message, by setting the term of control of water sites by private capital at 30 years and providing in the leases by the government against a monopoly. The president would have renewal privileges given, but declares that while the government retains control competition must be retained and prices kept reasonable. "The importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated," Mr. Taft holds, pointing out that the national reserves comprise 190,000,000 acres. He urges scientific care, to increase the production of lumber, without reducing the supply on the ground. Bonds to Deepen Ohio and Mississippi The president recommends the continuation of the Ohio river deepening, which is expected to cost $63,000,000. The president states that the work can be done in ten years, and says that if necessary he will later recommend bonds to carry on the project. He also demands the continued improvement of the Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis, six foot depth, and of the Missouri from Kansas City to St. Louis to six feet, and from St. Louis to Cairo to eight feet. The depth may be increased if results warrant it, he says. In the rivers and harbors bill the president recommends provision for continuing the contracts for improvements. NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT. Washington, D. C.-The president sent to the senate the nominations of the following United States marshals: John F. Horr, southern district of Florida. Frederick W. Collins, southern district of Mississippi. Clarence G. Smithers, eastern district of Virginia. To be United States attorneys, the president nominated John M. Cheney, for the southern district of Florida, and Lunsford L. Lewis, for the eastern district of Virginia. The president also sent in the nomination of Geo. M. Bowers, of West Virginia, to be United States commissioner of fish and fisheries. Among the nominations of postmasters by the president were the following: William L. Erwin, Harper's Ferry, W. Va. George W. Bean, Tampa, Fla. Frank J. Huber, Ocala, Fla. James J. Dickerson, Paris, Texas. BUTTER TO STAY HIGH. Bad News for Housewives is Sent Out From Elgin. Eling, III—Housewives, who expect the price of butter to drop from 40 cents to 25 cents a pound as the summer approaches, are 10 cents off on their guess, according to members of the Elgin board of trade, who establish butter prices for the middle west. Every spring the quotations from 30 to 40 cents wholesale to between 20 and 25 cents. This year, creamy men declare, there will be no decided drop in the market. A 30 cents wholesale quotation means butter at the grocery stores at 35 cents. LAND FOR UNEMPLOYED. Tender of Four Thousand Acres Made by Arkansas Man. St. Louis, Mo—George M. Jackson of Piggott, Ark., announced that he will give four thousand acres of rich bottom lands near Piggott to the unemployed of the United States. The announcement was made at a meeting of the Brotherhood Welfare Association, of which James Eads How, the wealthy eccentric, is president. Food Prices Out of Reason. Washington, D. C.—"Most of the prices for food products are clearly out of all reason," said Cardinal Gibbons, in an interview, "and the people cannot go on paying such prices when they are not earning any more than they were some years ago when prices were not so high." August Wipes Out Spot Quotations. Augusta, Ga—All spot quotations were wiped from the board at the Augusta Cotton Exchange, and across the face of the space these words were written: "Nothing doing!" Last previous quotations were 15 cents, but buyers and sellers were so completely apart that the exchange committees declined to quote a market. Big Purchase of Coal Lands. Madisonville, Ky.-Eastern capitalists have made a big purchase of coal lands in Webster and this county. The land lies between Providence, in the one, and Dawson, in the latter county. The transfer amounts to nearly 40,000 acres of mineral rights. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 W. 3T. BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1910. OPPOSE LEE'S STATUE Washington, D. C.-Sonator Heyburn of Idaho, renewed his hostility to any movement 'honoring' the memory of Robert E. Lee, whose statue he objects to being accepted for Stannary Hall, by offering a resolution demanding to know why the United States collector of customs at Newport News joined in the celebration of Lee's birthday. The resolution considerably surprised southern democratic statesmen and probably many on the republican side of the chamber. It was such an unexpected waving of the red flag that it astounded everybody, particularly in view of the light it shed on Senator Heyburn's aspersions. The references to traitors and Benedict Arnoldis in that speech became unpleasantly significant. In his speech Monday on the acceptance of the statue of George L. Shoup, presented by the state of Hawaii, Senator Heyburn asked if it was the intention of congress in passing the act of July 2, 1864, to provide that any traitor should ever have a place in statuary' hall, or that a Benedict Arnold should ever be so honored' He held that no statue was of rigat in the hall unless accepted by congress. Senator Money of Mississippi, in speaking of Heyburn's address after the senate adjourned, said: "It is strange to me that here 60 years after the war, a man who never heard a gun fired should make such a spectacular exhibition of sectional venom. Even his own colleagues will condemn him. Nobody would have done so more quickly than that great soldier and magnanimous man, General Grant. During several weeks spent with General Grant at a hotel in Mexico he frequently spoke of Lee in the highest terms of admiration. I hope Senator Heyburn will not pursue his unwise course further, but let this matter drop." Since the opposition to the acceptance of the Lee statue by congress has developed, there has been considerable talk of not insisting upon this mere formality. The statue is already set up in statuary hall. Asked if he thought the usual ceremonies would be dispensed with in this case, Senator Money said: "Rather than have a statue of General Lee sneaked into statuary hall, I think no means should be spared to make the ceremonies of acceptance the most elaborate and impressive of any ever held. No man whose statue now stands in the hall deserves more praise for his noble qualities as a man, a soldier and a Christian. General Grant would have echoed that. I greatly admired General Shoup, whose statue was accepted from the state of Idaho. Had I been able to spare the time to prepare it, I would have delivered a tribute to his memory. But, if Senator Heyburn persists in his present course, I favor having every camp of old confederate veterans in the south come to Washington in their gray uniforms and attend the presentation exercises." TO PREVENT INFANT MORTALITY. Campaign is Begun to Stop Slaughter of the Innocents. Baltimore, Md.-The American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality, which grew out of a conference recently held at New Haven, Conn., has opened permanent headquarters in this city, and begun an active campaign having for its object the prevention of race waste rather than race suicide. On the ground that a baby is a citizen of the future and that one given a good start has a better chance to grow up to healthy manhood or womanhood, the work of the new organization will be directed toward securing the chance for the baby. WOMAN'S CLOTHES TRUST. Everything That a Woman Wears to Be Controlled. New York City. — A corporation capitalized at $300,000, to control everything pertaining to the manufacture of women's wearing apparel, is under consideration by the Associated Walst and Dress Manufacturers. B. Hyman, president of the association and the originator of the project, said that the idea commends itself to manufacturers and dealers in the south, with whom he has talked, as well as to many of the largest woolen manufacturers in New England. FEARED BEING BURIED ALIVE Woman Directed That Dagger Be Thrust Into Her Heart. Pittsburg, Pa.-"Thrust a dagger through my heart three times to make sure I am dead. Let my body lie ten days, cremate it then and bury the ashes in Allegheny cemetery." were the written instructions found with the body of Laura White, single, aged 65 years, a supposed pauper, "living alone, who was discovered in a room with five locks upon the door, her badly decomposed body half eaten by rats. The police found bank books and a will disposing of $100,000 to leach charitable institutions in a trunk in the poorly furnished house. R. F. D. MISREPRESENTED. Washington, D. C.—The future of the rural delivery service is a topic which interests 20,000,000 people, or over one-half of those living in continental United States. The references made from time to time as to the cost of the service that furnishes the farmers of the country their mail, has caused some concern lest there should be a discontinuance of improvements and further extension of the service. These references to expense and the charge that the rural service causes the postal deficit, are greatly exaggerated and calculated to mislead popular sentiment, and do injury to the greatest wealth producers in the aggregate in the nation. Rural delivery is now an established fact in practically every community in the country where local conditions warrant it. In the matter of cost the rural malt service is not only the least expensive of the national utilities in proportion to members employed, but is one of the small minority that yields in large part an equivalent in money for outlay besides service which benefits the whole people and the whole country, appartaining as it does to the producing factor and not destroying element in the equation. The per capita cost of rural delivery in 1908-9 on the basis of a constituency of 20,000,000 inhabitants served, about one-half of whom are of gainful age and occupation, was $1.78. An approximation based upon a special count for March, April and May, 1909, seeding time, when mail is usually lighter than during other months, yielded for the fiscal year 1908-9, 2,723,262,000 pieces handled by rural mail carriers upon which, with the exceptions noted, full postage was paid. Thus in the brief space of four years we have an increase in volume of rural delivery business amounting to 1,336,204,289. MILLIONS PROPOSED FOR GOOD ROADS Legislation for Building Highways is Put Up to Congress. Washington, D. C.-The latest of numerous contributions to proposed legislation for highway construction in the United States is a bill by Representative Garner of Texas, appropriating $10,000,000 among the states and territories pro rata, according to mileage of the traveled public roads in these respective jurisdictions. The fund, according to Mr. Garner's idea, should be apportioned by the secretary of agriculture after certification of the governors as to the amount needed, etc., and the amount allowed each state is not to exceed the state's own appropriation for road maintenance. Within the past week Mr. Sulzer introduced a postal savings bank bill designed to produce, according to his scheme of figuring, half a billion dollars of deposits from the people in the postal banks, $100,000,000 of the amount to be spent on road construction. Mr. Sulzer figures that this plan will bring into circulation millions of dollars of hoarded gold and restore to work "tens of thousands of idle workmen." Petition for Morse's Pardon. Charlotte, N. C.—Prominent men of this city in rapid succession affixed their names to a petition praying President Taft for the absolute pardon of Charles W. Morse, the New York banker, who was convicted of a violation of the national banking act, and is now serving a fifteen-year sentence in the federal prison in Atlanta, Ga. The petitioners declare their appeal is made because of their belief and firm conviction that the sentence imposed upon Mr. Morse is a pitiful miscarriage of justice. Anti-Meat Eaters League Formed. Cleveland, Ohio—Cleveland's anti-meat strike, as a blow at the increased cost of living, is in full swing. It is estimated that fully six thousand men have signed a pledge to abstain from meat for a month in an effort to break the high prices. Newsy Paragraphs. A pension of 45,000 a year is due Mrs. Grover Cleveland according to precedent, and Senator Root has presented to the senate a bill making the grant. The amount is the same as was allowed to Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Tyler, widowed wives of former presidents. Fifteen thousand full-blooded members of the Creek, Chickasaw, Chocotaw and Cherokee Indian tribes have joined in a petition to congress and the president asking that citizenship be withheld from them on the ground that they are not prepared to exercise such responsibility, and that the United States continue as their guardian. Statistics of gifts for humanity during the year 1909 foots up a total of $150,641,253, about half being in the form of gifts and half bequests. This was distributed as follows: Charity, $67,464,441; education, $46,122,241; religion, $22,443,885; art, $8,616,410; libraries, $3,012,293. At the head of the list of individual givers stands John D. Rockefeller, credited with $12,130,000, most of which went to educational agencies. In next line ranks Andrew Carnegie, with a total of $4,652,500. Mrs. Russell Sage comes in with $1,851,761, and other names prominent on this roll of honor are D. K. Plerson, Charles E. Ellis, Elizabeth Bingham, H. C. Frick, J. D. Archbold, Caroline Phelps Stokes, John S. Kennedy, George Crocker, A. H. Wilder, John M. Baker, etc., VAST SUMS TO BE SPENT The Steel Trust Will Spend $55,000,000, Much of It in This Section—Atlantic Coast Line to Double-Track New York City—The half of a billion dollars will be spent this year by American corporations and the United States government in expansion, extension and improvement. Conservative estimates based upon public plans of industrial corporations, railroads and the government show sums to be spent for labor and improved devices which stagger the imagination and tax the conceivability of the ordinary mind. The investment of Daniel Williard with the presidency of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad brings that great corporation to the point where the final plans are now ready for financing the $28,500,000 worth of bonds, which sum is to be spent by the road in 1910 for construction and equipment. The steel trust will scatter $55,000,000 through the middle west and south in building new mills and developing ore beds. But while we consider these stupendous sums of private enterprises we must not overlook the vast expenditures to be made by the government — expenditures which are record-shattering in the realm of finance. Ninety millions of dollars will be spent for United States army supplies, five millions will be spent in construction work upon our fortifications, and now President Taft, in his message read to congress, urges appropriation of $63,000,000 for river and harbor improvement and in the extension' of irrigation in the west. This does not include the immense sums to be put out in wages to the army of workmen engaged in digging the Panama canal. The year 1910 will be an epoch-making year—a year of money-spending unrivalled in the history of the world. Of course, these immeasurable outlays revert in the course of time to the tollers who are employed in laying new roads, constructing new railway lines, building bridges and dams and levees and to the iron and steel workers and miners and clothing makers. In fact, the money in the end comes into the pockets of the laborers, no matter in what class of legitimate work they are engaged. As a single institution the government leads in this epic outpouring of money, but the railroads are running a mighty close second. Benjamin F. Yoakum announces on behalf of the Hawley-Yoakum Syndicate that $10,000,000 will be spent in the southwest alone in 1910, improving the properties of the combination. The International Harvester Company, whose complete report of earnings is still secret, but known to be $14,000,000 higher in 1909 than in 1908, will spend about five millions in extending their foreign trade and in constructing new factories in the middle west. The Wheeling and Lake Erie has been in financial straits for several years, and the money they will raise by new bonds will be spent variously. The Atlantic Coast Line is to double-track its system from Florida to Washington, D. C. The Harriman lines, in order to maintain their splendid supremacy in the west, are planning a big outlay for new rolling stock and expansions. In Texas alone it would venture the estimate that $50,000,000 will be spent in 1910, not considered in the compendium at the head of this article. The Pennsylvania Railroad is buying new cars and locomotives and adding new track to their lines in the Allegheny mountain regions. The San Pedro Railway was compelled through necessity to plan a pompous outlay in 1910. Storms along the route of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake route this month washed out miles of track. The officials have now planned a new route and construction will be started later in the year on the new line. The sum of $14,000,000 is considered conservative for the plans in contemplation; before it is finished the work will likely cost $20,000,000. The Rock Island railroad, as soon as Wall street has finished its game of hide and seek, will set its new extension up from Mexico through Chihuahua to El Paso. On mountainous stretches each mile will cost more than a million dollars for construction. When we contemplate the year before us with its imposing plans, one could easily forget that there had ever been a panic or despondency in the money market. BIG SUM FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS. New York Churches Propose to Raise $725,000 This Year. New York City—Five thousand laymen, representing practically all of the Protestant, churches in the city, voted unanimously at a mass meeting in the Hippodrome to increase the foreign missionary offerings at the Protestant churches of Greater New York by $235,000 during the coming twelve months. This is slightly more than 80 per cent increase over the sum given last year, which was $400,116. The amount to be donated this year will approximate $725,000, of which Brooklyn churches have assumed responsibility for $225,000. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. It was reported in New York City that Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, is contemplating the formation of a $1,000,000 corporation to manufacture shirtwaists. The report could not be verified. Miss Morgan has been an active sympathizer with the shirtwaist makers now on strike. "I will devote my entire time to freeing my husband," Mrs. Charles W. Morse declared. Mrs. Morse is back at her home in New York City from a visit to her husband, who is in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. She intends, she said, to invoke every possible legal means to secure the former banker's release. The $2,180,621 was spent in the United States last year for the treatment and cure of persons afflicted with lung diseases is announced by the Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in this work New York ranks first, Pennsylvania second and Masasuchsetts as third. The next seven states in order named are Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, California, Colorado, Connecticut and Ohio. The family of G. Rowland Leavitt, banker and railroad financier, of New York Sity, confirms the announcement that his daughter, Miss Margaret Howland Leavitt, 25 years old, and heir to a million dollars, was married "without the knowledge, or consent of her parents" to Joseph F. Smollen, her chauffeur. If Referee in Bankruptcy Blair will allow, Alice Copely Thaw, sister of Harry K. Thaw, now in Matteawan asylum, New York state, will pay $10,000 for some cuff links, scarp pins, a cigar cutter and books said to have been Harry Thaw's when he was a boy in Pittsburgh. A petition has been filed by the trustee of the estate of Thaw, requesting that the personal effects of the former Pittsburger be sold for the benefit of his creditors. The annual message of Governor Hughes announced the gift of 10,000 acres of land along the upper half sades of the Hudson river from the widow of E. H. Harriman, carrying out his intention to form the nucleus of a great state park. Mrs. Harriman also gives $1,000,000 to further the park plan and contributions are also made by Rockefeller and Morgan. Washington. Carrying an appropriation of $85,200,000 for. the maintenance of the army for the fiscal year of 1911, the army appropriation bill passed the house by a vote of 183 to 106; present and not voting, 9. The opposition was due to the fact that the department estimates were exceedingly high. The treasury deficit for the first six months of the fiscal year just ended is $55,500,000 and the working cash balance is only $28,267,000. The treasury officials, find it impractical to issue Panama bonds to relieve the situation because the outstanding 2 percent bonds have gone below par, and it is feared that an issue of 3 percent would still further depress the 2s. Representative Sulzer of New York wants the United States to have the finest roads in the world, and accordingly, he has introduced a bill providing that the federal government loan to the different states sums for the purpose not exceeding a million. dollars annually, the states to pay it back yearly. The postoffice department would supervise the work of building the roads. Seven hundred rural schools will at once be opened by the government in the eastern part of Oklahoma, according to a statement made by Jno. D. Benedict, superintendent of Indian schools in Oklahoma. The government will spend $150,000 to maintain schools in districts where there is not enough taxable lands to maintain schools. Full-blood Indian and minor lands under the enabling act can not be taxed. Secretary of State Knox is quoted as defining his foreign policy as being the protection of every American citizen in whatever portion of the globe he may be. Said Knox: "The same protection to American citizens as Great Britain extends to her subjects. I do not propose to have it said during my administration of the state department that an American traveler abroad has had to seek protection under the British or German flag." To prevent a serious set-back to the development of the Pearl harbor, Hawaii, naval station through exhaustion of the regular appropriation of $1,000,000, by February 1, the secretary of the navy sent to congress a deficiency estimate of $300,000 toward completing the dredging of the 35-foot channel for the station. Secretary Meyer hopes to have the station ready to take care of the fleet by July 1, 1912. President Taft is heartily in favor of the plan to raise the battleship Malne from the bottom of Havana harbor. The president, has informed Representative Lord of Michigan that he desired to see the latter's bill, appropriating money for the purpose, enacted into law, and that he stood ready to offer support. Quite a radical change in the manner of conducting the great state receptions at the white house are noted and for the first time in many administration refreshments are now served. The blue room'circle, which flourished driving the Roosevelt administration when a selected coterie of social friends were invited behind the line, was entirely done away with. Treasury of State of Georgia Illinois JAN 17 1908 190 The undersigned Treasurer of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received postmaster James R. Roe of Davenport, the follower: Dear Regent and Prosecutor, Excuse me, George C. C. C., 17:10, amends, shall for sure be (200) assent, due 1924 dong in total Two Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the State of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved Coles Ltd , 1887 , and amended December 20th , 1897 . State Board of Health Holds Its Annual Session CAMPAIGN OF PUBLICITY Dissemination of Information Relative to Health Matters One of the Policies of the Board. Atlanta, Ga—The state board of health, which held its annual meeting in its quarters in the basement of the state capitol, considered the hook worm convention in Atlanta of such great importance that it decided to meet here at that time in a body for the purpose of attending its sessions, and a resolution to that effect was unanimously passed. It was decided by the board to begin as quickly as possible the work of surveying and analyzing the various sources of water supplies of the cities and towns within the state, in order to determine whether or not the water is perfectly healthy. The legislature some time ago appropriated $5,000 to this purpose. The annual report of Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary which was read to the board, covered the last nine months, within which time it was shown that 1,979 analyses and examination has been made. Within the same period the board has treated 296 cases of rabies, out of which number only one patient died, and his death came so long after the administration of the treatment that it is considered doubtful if it can be attributed to that diseases. Within the year and a half during which the board has been treating cascs of rabies, only two patients have been lost out of a total of 693 treated. Within the nine months' period the state board has sent out free of cost for use in the treatment of diphtheria a total of 3,400,000 units of anti-toxin, and has on hand about 3,000,000 units more. This anti-toxin is distributed absolutely free of cost to those who need it and apply for it. The board has also distributed in the same period 1,217 doses of tuberculin for use in the treatment of tuberculosis. The board of health adopted a policy for more extensive publicity in the dissemination of information relative to health matters. This will be carried out both through lectures at various points in the state and in the furnishing of information to the press. CIGARETTE TAX CAUSES TROUBLE. Dealers Have Refused to Pay the New Tax. Atlanta, Ga.—Tax collectors over the state are having trouble with the cigarette tax. Georgia puts a tax of $25' on all dealers in "cigarettes, cigarette papers and cigarette tobacco." Treasurer of the State of Georgia. It is the insertion of those words, "cigarette tobacco," in the tax act, which is causing the trouble. What is cigarette tobacco? Was there ever any distinctively cigarette tobacco made—tobacco that is not used for smoking in pipes, or except for cigarettes? As a consequence, the comptroller general has ruled that the tax cannot be collected from those who sell only smoking tobaccos, unless it can be shown that they sell a tobacco which is used exclusively for making cigarettes. If, however, they give away cigarette papers along with the tobacco, they are subject to the tax, and will be called upon to pay it. FARMERS HOLDING COTTON. Growers Are Not Worried Over Recent Breaks in Market. Columbus, Ga.—With sixteen thousand bales of cotton in the Columbus warehouses, the farmers of this section of Georgia and Alabama are sitting steady in the boat, not worried over the recent breaks in the market. Practically no cotton at all is being offered at the prevailing quotations, and there will be no sales until the market advances again. The buyers who travel this section report that the same spirit prevails out in the country, and that it is now practically impossible to buy cotton. As a rule the holders are people who are in a position to retain their cotton for months longer. TO EXAMINE-INSURANCE COMPANIES. W. A. Wright, Comptroller General, Decides on Annual Inspection. Atlanta, Ga.-Beginning this year, fire insurance companies organized and doing business in the state of Georgia will annually be subjected to a rigid examination by Comptroller General William A. Wright, who is also insurance commissioner for the state. While there is no law in Georgia requiring the examination of such companies, the insurance commissioner believes that it is well to make such examinations in order to insure the public against deception by companies which may possibly make misstatements regarding their financial condition. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. The proposed new schedules, with increased service between Monroe and Social Circle, on the Georgia Railroad, were approved by the railroad commission. — Application for a charter for the Bank of Chickamauga at Chickamauga in Walker county, was filed with the secretary of state. The bank is to have a capital stock of $25,000, and among, its incorporators are G. L. Bonds, J. L. Moore and S. C. Tarver, all of Chickamauga. Application was filed with the secretary of state for a charter for the Bank of Hephzibah in Richmond county. The bank is to have a capital stock of $25,000, and among the incorporators are W. B. Frost, R. N. Smith and Henry S., Johngon, The railroad commission issued an order directing the Georgia Railroad to build a depot in the town of Blue Springs, in Morgan county. The railroad commission ordered the Seaboard Air Line Railroad to build a depot at the town of Renroes, in Webster county. Attorney General John S. Hart returned from Washington, where he has been arguing before the supreme court of the United States the Georgia Railroad tax case. The dockets of that court are much crowded, and it is said it will be some time before a decision will be given. GEORGIA BANKS IN FINE SHAPE Statement for 1909 la Prepared By Bank Examiners. Atlanta, Ga.-Chief of Assistant Bank Examiners Hollinshead and the other state bank examiners have been for the past week making up the annual statement of the condition of the Georgia banks and preparing their routes for examinations to be made during the present year. They have just completed the comparative statement showing the condition of all the state banks in 1909 and 1907, the latter being the year when the new banking law, relative to bank examinations, went into effect. In 1907 there were 448 state banks; as compared with 504 in 1909, an increase of 56. Loans and discounts in 1807 were $50,386,304.20 and in 1909 $70,556,343, an increase of $20,500,038.80. There have been other healthy increases all along the line in the asset statement. An interesting feature, however, is the fact that in 1907 the amount of cash on hand was $16,191,089.85, compared with $6,544,639.79 in 1909. This was due to the fact that in the panic year the banks held hard and fast to all the cash that came their way and paid out clearing house certificates, but when the financial equilibrium was restored the cash again began to circulate. On the liability side of the statement it is shown that the aggregate state banking capital has increased from $17,536,679.66 in 1907 to $20,225,453.05 in 1909, and surplus and net profits to show an increase of nearly $2,000,000. The amount due to depositors increased from $48,707,739.02 in 1907, to $66,775,714.57 in 1909. The increase was given larger by some $2,000,000, as compared with the deposits shown in 1908. Balancing accounts, the total of liabilities and assets shows an increase from $86,265,800.49 in 1907 to $108,625,280.93 in 1909, an increase of $22,359,480.44 This comparative statement is made up from the financial statements of the condition of each bank furnished to the state bank, examiner, Honorable J. Pope Brown, at a date named toward the close of the year. The statement for 1909 was of the condition of all the banks on November 16. GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. Directors. L. H. Williams. P.

Determining a technical question of jurisdiction the supreme court on the United States' dismissed the suit brought by the Macon Grocery company and other wholesale dealers in groceries in Georgia for an injunction to restrain railroads in the Southeastern Freight association from putting into effect August 1, 1908, a general increase in rates on fresh meats, frain products, hay and packing house products. The suit was filed five days before the increase was to go into effect. The railroads, including practically all in the association pleaded that the suit was not brought in the circuit court district in which they were inhabitants. The circuit court held it did have jurisdiction, but the circuit court of appeals held the reverse. The supreme court affirmed the decision of the circuit court of appeals. According to a report just compiled for the executive committee of the Georgia Fruit exchange, of which M. Fleming is manager, already over 60 per cent of the coming peach crop of Georgia has been signed up to be marketed through this organization. This canvass for pledges to have the fruit sold through this exchange is not through yet, and it is confidently asserted that by the time the first shipment is made fully 90 per cent of the crop will be pledged for said through this co-operative organization. This remarkable record has been achieved through the wonderful success of the exchange last year, Ten railroads, with a total capitalization of $2,227,000 and authorized trackage of four hundred and twenty-four miles, were chartered in Georgia in 1909, according to a statement issued by Secretary of State Philip Cook. Charters were also issued to two new electric railway lines with a total of twelve miles and a total capital of $200,000. Representative Brantley succeeds the late Judge J. M.

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 said 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 stand- Deeds, Contracts, Wills and Legal Forms Prepared as Attested. ing by us; and in view of that, 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 fail, we 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. Whenever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the money will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Yours for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia.

Flammarion Tells.of the Encroachments of Land on Eastern Coast of Italy—Due to the Po and Adige—Adria, a Famous Seaport Three Thousand Years.Ago, is Now Sixteen Miles Inland. ★★★★★ (From the European Edition of the New York Herald.) The Herald recently published an account of the curious discovery at Antium of a beautiful Greek statue, which was brought to light by the upsetting of a wall of Nero's villa under the furious battering of the waves of the sea. This important discovery has a; double interest, artistic and geologic. Not only does it put before our eyes a masterpiece of antique art; but it also shows us the work of time. Gradually the sea is taking possession of this beach of Antium, where nineteen centuries ago, the imperial luxury of a sumptuous Roman palace was displayed. Century by century, year by year it rushes to attack this coast, on which it is encroaching little by little. It is destined to reign over the place where the cruel and tyrannical emperor, believing himself master of the world, thought he alone had the right to rule. But the waves themselves offer strange paradoxes. While the Tyrrhenian Sea is eating away in this vicinity the cliffs and the strand of ancient Latium, on the other hand on the opposite or eastern coast of Italy the Adriatic is constantly moving away from the ancient Etruscan town which gave it its name. Adria, which three thousand years ago was a famous and flourishing seaport, lies to-day desolate and forgotten in the midst of fields of corn, of vineyards and of prairies, twenty-five kilometers distant from the sea, which has moved away this entire distance since the beginning of our era. There is nothing there from which one might guess its former power—gone to-day. It is a dead city. Agriculture and trade have there replaced intense maritime activity and are very much inferior to it. Here the land is gaining rapidly—before one's eyes, so to speak—at the rate of ten metres or so every year, on account of the alluvium of the Po and the Adire. Like the Rhone, in France, and the Nile, in Egypt, the Po and the Adige are constantly bringing down soil from the higher ground and carrying it to their mouths. The floods to which this region was subject from the beginning of the thirteenth century necessated recourse to dykes, and they have since caused the adoption of a general system of embankment, with the result that the Po and the Adige and almost all their tributaries are now kept within artificial borders, which are very much raised up. The increased velocity which currents thus restrained acquire gives them the power to transport to the sea a very much larger quantity of sediment than formerly. Thus the deltas of the Po and the Adige have constantly encroached upon the Adratic. Moreover, a part of the sand and silme, which in a natural condition of things would have been spread over the plain by annual floods, is deposited on the bottom of the beds of the streams, whose capacity thus becomes diminished. It therefore becomes necessary to STRENGTH OF THE GORILLA. How It Kills Human Beings...Its Attacks on Other Animals. Of all the existing man apes the gorilla is beyond question the most formidable, a large male standing not infrequently over five feet six inches in height, and bones being known of one which apparently measured in life no less than six feet two-inches. It is not, we now know from experience in the gardens and elsewhere, always when young so "utterly un-tamable a beast" and so "entirely constantly an enemy of man" as Du Challuil represented, but it is savage and morose enough. in so terrible a grip that hardly a sob is heard, to drag it—man or woman—up to its lurking place. It is credited with capturing and stealing women and carrying them off to keep them in the forests, and, armed with clubs, is said to attack and beat off elephants. The formidability of the great apes as compared with other beasts, however, is not an easy matter to pass upon. In Africa it is not worthy that the lion and the gorilla do not occur together, and it has been conjectured both that the lion has ex- It is still uncertain whether in a wild state, except in the immediate moment of attack, it ever actually walks erect without either resting its knuckles on the ground or supporting itself by a branch overhead, but that does beat its fists upon its breast when enraged (Du Chailuil says that he heard the noise "like a great bass drum" at a distance of a mile) is established, and when the male gorilla turns, as seemingly it does, to confront man fearlessly when attacked, with its huge size, its great hairy limbs, and hideous head set almost down into its shoulders, we can believe that "no description can exceed the horror of its appearance." Add that the gorilla usually lives in the depth of forests where the light is so dim, that it is difficult to see any object clearly at a distance of more than a few yards, and it is not to be wondered at that the natives have invested it with attributes even more horrific than those which it possesses. Many believe the gorilla to be human, others hold that, though itself beast, it is often informed with the transmigrated spirits of the human dewl. It is said to lie in wait crushed on the lower branches of trees overhanging a path, and when a human being passes to drop one of its long hand limbs and, clutching it, withdraw the throat so suddenly Alluvial Deposits. dig out a certain quantity of this deposit and carry it back to the banks. This gradual raising of these rivers has the result that in our day they cross the valley on a greatly elevated bed like water that runs in an aqueduct. It follows that the surface of the Po, for example, is higher than the roofs of the houses of Ferrara. Encroachments of the Land. The increase of the land is considerable in all this region. The town of Ravenna, which was formerly surrounded by lagoons and was a seaport like Venice, and under Augustus was a naval station for the Adiatic fleet, is to-day ten kilometres from the sea and its only communication with its present port, Porto Corsini, founded in 1736, is by the conal of that name. Besides, all along this coast, so celebrated in history, may be seen the works of man in constant struggle with nature and only dominating her on condition of subjecting himself to her laws. But, on the whole, the victory remains with nature. The works of man are nevertheless lasting. All the marvels of ancient art which have escaped the carnage of wars, of invasions and of revolutions and which have been preserved for us, often by the earth itself, and handed down from century to century, bear testimony to this. The ancient lighthouse of Adria, washed by the waters of the sea three thousand years ago, is still standing, but for a long time it has not looked up upon the Adriatic, which is constantly moving away. It has become the belfry of a church. This lighthouse, which antedates the foundation of Rome, could tell us of many human depravities if only as the witness of its neighbor, Ferrara, the famous city over which still hangs the tragic memory of Lucretia Borgia. For example among other deeds, it might remind us of the following: Marquis Oblizzon d'Este, detested for his cruelty, strangled by one of his sons; Alberto, who cut off his nephew's head and burned his wife alive; Marquis Glovanni d'Este and his wife torn to pieces with red hot plurces; Nicolas III., legitimatized son of Alberto, cutting off the head of his second wife and alding in the bloody quarrels of his twenty-two natural children; Hercules I., causing his nephew to be hacked to pieces, cutting off the right hand and putting out an eye of 280 conspirators; his son, Hippolyte d'Este, causing the eyes of his brother Julius to be torn out on account of his rivalry in love, etc. In this order of things man sometimes seems to surpass nature. To return to her from these scenes, the secular transformation of coasts constitutes one of the most interesting chapters in the history of our planet. Everything is rapidly changing on our mobile globe. Alone the progress of mind triumphs over the slow and inexorable work of Time, whose Scythe gathers in its harvest everything about it and this progress is perpetually upward toward the conquest of truth. in so terrible a grip that hardly a sob is heard, to drag it—man or woman—up to its lurking place. It is credited with capturing and stealing women and carrying them off to keep them in the forests, and, armed with clubs, is said to attack and beat off elephants. The formidableness of the great apes as compared with other beasts, however, is not an easy matter to pass upon. In Africa it is not worthy that the lion and the gorilla do not occur together, and it has been conjectured both that the lion has exterminated the gorilla within its territory and that the gorilla has driven out the lion. In Borneo the most serious neighbors of the orang are the python and the crocodile, and the natives say that the ape overcomes them both, the python by seizing and biting it, and the crocodile by leaping on its back, clutching it by the upper jaw and by sheer main strength tearing it open. The name "orang" is in itself a title of honor, meaning roughly "wise one," the Malays giving it allie to their chiefs, to elephants and to the "wild men." Perhaps, however, no native myth or story eclipses in wonder the statement of Emin Pasha, made seriously, that in the Mbongwe forest the chimpanzees used to come to rob the banana plantations in troops, bearing torches to light them on the way!

UNCLE SAM WISHES TO KNOW Wife is Likely to Have the Better of Husband, Who May Be Away When Census Enumerator Calls--He Will Ask You About Your Mother-in-Law Too---Rural Citizens Asked to Chain the Dog After Census Work Begins Next April. REOPLE) ASKED TO AID CENSUS Government Will Spend $13,000,000 and Employ 65,000 Agents Washington, D. C.—"Are you the head of the family, or is the head out?" This is one of the leading questions that will be put to whoever may come to the door when the census enumerator calls next April. It is important that, the Government keep track of every head of family, and the answer, though it may cause domestic wrangling afterward, will be recorded from the one of whom it is asked. That is where the women of the family will get the best of it, as it is likely the men will be at work when the enumerator calls. "How About Your Mother-in-Law?" "Are you married? Have you any children? Is your mother-in-law living with you?" These are a few of the multiplicity of questions which, beginning April 15, 1910, will be asked every housewife in the United States and its Territories by Uncle Sam's army of inquisitors known as census enumerators. From house to house all over the country these inquisitors will go. If you happen to be a housewife and answer the summons of the doorbell, and four of your five children answer it too, do not scold the enumerator when he asks you if you are married. Uncle Sam has not counted noses all over the country for ten long years, and it may be, as some pessimists say, the race is lessening, and, if so, the Government wants to know in order to determine what kind of premiums to offer for Rooseveltian families. Chain the Dog After April 14. There is one request in particular the Government makes of people living in small cities, towns and rural districts, and that is to have all dogs chained after April 14, for at least six months. When the enumerator calls he will begin by asking these questions: "What street, road or avenue is this? What is the number?" He will then ask: "What is your name? Are you the head of a family? What is the name of each person living here on April 15, 1910? The surname initial of every person in the abode? How many children, their names, ages, places of birth?" If you are not the head of the family you will be asked what relation you are to the head. The enumerators will ask the sex, color and race of every person; the age of last birthday. Then come questions to the women. Washington, D. C.—Whether the thirteenth census, on which the Government expects to spend at least $13,000,000 and probably more, will reflect a correct picture of the Nation, its people, their lives and resources, is going to depend as largely upon the people themselves as upon the Census Bureau and its 65,000 enumerators who will be engaged in the work. Director Durand makes this assertion in his annual report to Secretary Nagel, of the Bureau of Commerce and Labor. While the report reviews the work of the bureau for the last year, a great part of it deals with preparations for the coming census. The director calls attention to the fact that any person or corporation may make returns and know that Prussian Election Laws Changed Deficit: $88,000,000-Shown Dent of $22,000,000 Shaw Berlin..Empiror William opened the Prussian Diet. The proposed legislation outlined in the Speech from the Throne includes a bill for the reform of the election law and a measure the purpose of which is to counteract the tendency of the laboring classes to desert; the farms. Baron von Rheinhaben, Minister of State, and Finance, said 'before' the Diet the budget which shows a deficit of $23,000,000. It is due, to an increase of $50,000,000 in salaries: "Are you married or single or divorced or widowed?" If you have been divorced and remarried, you will be asked the number of years of the present married life. "How many children are you the mother of? How many children were born and how many are living?" These questions will be asked in the order named, so do not get impatient and fretful and think the enumerator is asking questions which seem personal and impertinent. The information is for the Government. The enumerator also will ask you your nationality. The Government is particularly anxious that this question be answered truthfully. "What State or Territory, if born in the United States? What country, if foreign born? The place of birth of the person being interrogated; the place of birth of the father of this person and the place of birth of the mother" are among the questions. To Identify Citizens and Aliens. The question of citizenship will be thoroughly gone into, thus: "Were you born in the United States? Were you an immigrant? What year did you come to the United States? Have you been naturalized or are you still an alien?" The enumerator will have to ask whether all persons enumerated speak English, and if not what languages they speak. The trade or profession, the kind of work done by each person, such as spinner, salesman, laborer, etc., will be asked. The general nature of industry, business or establishment in which each person works, such as cotton mill, dry goods store, farm, etc. Whether an employer or employee or working on own account, will be another question. If an employee you will be asked whether you were out of work on April 15, 1910, and the number of weeks you were out of work in 1909. Questions will be asked with a view of classifying the illiterate, those having just a common education and those having a higher education. Other questions will show whether Americans are as extravagant as they have been alleged to be. It will be asked whether the home you live in is owned by you or rented. If owned by you, if it is free of mortgage. The last question is: if there are any persons in the house suffering from blindness, whether in both eyes; and if deaf and dumb. Every citizen is asked to co-operate with the enumerators in order that no mistakes will occur. when the results are published it will be impossible to identify them with any individual or set of men. The returns are not disclosed to any one not employed in the Census Bureau, and are not even furnished to any other bureau of the Department of Commerce and Labor. On account of the extended records which will be taken of agricultural conditions, the card system for those returns will be abolished and a system more in keeping with the magnitude of the requirements will be adopted. In spite of the added work this year the director believes it can be done with the present office forces, and makes only one recommendation for the creation of a new office, chief statistician of mines and quarries. Navy Yard Plants Appraised by the Washington Commandant. Washington, D. C.—Rear-Admiral Lueze, commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, has just made an in- ventory, which shows the gun foundry there to be worth $10,470,000. The machinery is valued at more than $3,000,000. The value of the Brooklyn' Navy Yard is estimated at $28, $252,000, but the output of the Washington yard in value is greater in pro- portion. The Washington yard in the last ten years, has put out more than $22,000,000 in finished products. BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON REV. DR. JASON N. PIERCE Amherst, Mass.—The Rev. Jason Noble, Pierce, pastor of the Puritan Congregational Church, Brooklyn, preached before the faculty and students of Amherst College. His subject was "Co-operative Success." He said: The theme of my sermon this morning is "Co-operative Success." In one sense, of course, all success is co-operative. We can not have success without society. It takes travelers to run a railroad, customers to support a store, and men in all professions must have their patrons in order to succeed. All success is in a way cooperative. But I bring to your consideration another side to this subject—success that rests upon co-operation not so much with men of the present as with men of the past and of the future. Let us begin with an historic case. You will find my text in the last verse of the eleventh chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews: "That part, from us they should not be made perfect." Who should not be made perfect? Read the chapter which is the setting of our text. It is a glorious record of the greatest men in Israel. Here are recorded the names of the fathers of the race, the men who led it into position and power. Here are written the names of Joseph, the great ruler; of Moses, the lawgiver, whose influence outlives the centuries; of Glideon and Barak, generals, whose very names inspired terror within the hearts of the enemy; of David, the king of Israel's golden age, and of Isaiah, the immortal prophet. These are the men at whom the finger of the race points and the voice of the people cries "Behold our heroes!" What grand men they were! "Mays the writer of the epistle. If there were time I could preach you a sermon on that text alone, "Men of whom the world was not worthy." Not the kind of men who thought the world was unworthy of them, who set themselves up as little tin gods on wheels, who had the heart of a pessimist and the lip of a scorner—that was not their style. Rather they were men who felt this was a grand world and a glorious life; they had the far-seeing eye and the warm-hearted heart; they assailed the stoutest enemy, performed the hardest tasks, courted danger and difficulty, and left the world better and richer for their having lived in it. They are the ones "of whom the world was not worthy," and yet here come the significant words of our text, "That apart from us they should not be made perfect." The meaning of the passage is clear when we study it in the light of the whole chapter. These were men of faith. Over and over again we read the expressive words "By faith." They were men who lived, toiled and wrought by faith. Faith in what? Reducing a large question to a conise answer I would say this was their faith—that by the grace of God Israel was to furnish leadership to the world. And generations afterward that faith was realized when Israel gave to the world the master character of all time. Here, then, is the argument of the writer: (1) The greatest and most able men of Israel were men of faith who woresaw, toiled and hoped for something that posterity could achieve. (2) When the dream of the years came true, then were they justified in their faith and their lives received the full-rounded completion and perfection that their faith deserved. In order to bring out the point of the argument more clearly, let me state it again in somewhat different terms: (1) There are men who undertake a cause that is larger than life and give their strength in loyal allegiance to it because they believe it to be right and bound ultimately to succeed. (2) These men of faith grow or shrink, succeed or fall, are perfected or undone, proportionately as the object of their faith is finally realized. The fame of Washington would never have been what it is today and had lost the Revolution, or if the Union had been broken at the time of the Civil War! Washington had faith not only in the success of the Revolution, but in a glorious and brilliant future for this republic, and the more we see that this faith was justified, just so much the more do we see a larger and a greater Washington. For more than a century after Oliver Cromwell died his character was torn to shrews and scattered to the four winds of heaven, to today men vie with each other in doing him praise. The great issues for which he fought—Individual liberty, religious toleration, the enforcement of a just and equitable law on all alike, whether it be on the common people or on the licentious nobles of England, the protection of his countrymen in foreign lands, the extension of commerce and the sweeping of the Mediterranean pirates from the seas. In short everything that prompted the common good—these issues have now captured the world, and in proportion as they have been victorious, has the character of Cromwell gained in majesty until to-day he is regarded as the greatest individual of a mighty people. History is replete with illustration of the truth of our text that great men become greater as that for which they lived and died achieves the victory. This is co-operative success. This is the demonstration of our text: "That apart from us they should not be made perfect." Let us now face certain considerations that spring from this subject. In the first place, there comes the realizing sense that no man lives to himself, but that the life of every man is inseparably associated with the lives of others. Whatever we do affects others, and the more serious the action the more important the result. Have you ever seen a careless or incompetent physician? Such 'a man is a menace to society, for before all people can be warned against him he has caused irreparable harm. Have you ever seen an unscrupulous lawyer- or-politician, a man who cares not how he win out if only he can win! Such a man may soon stifle his conscience and forget disquieting memories, but the harm he causes affects society and its unhappy influence may live long after him. It makes a vast difference what we stand for and what we do. What a blessing comes to society in the life of a man like Professor Garman, or like the heroic old soldier so recently gone to his reward. General Howard! These were men of mighty influence, and the fact that they lived the kind of lives they did has made a real and vital difference in the world. Then, again, we are forcibly reminded that it is possible for us to exert our influence not only in a good cause, but in a great cause. I mean by that, a cause larger than our individual lives, whose successful issue will be realized in the distant future and through the efforts of others besides ourselves. It would not be a bad thing by any means if every man were to ask himself this question: Are all the things in which I am interested going to be achieved completely while I am alive? The significance of that question rests upon this fundamental fact, that a man's greatness depends upon his ability to rise above his selfishness and see things in the large and then with broader vision and nobler motive work for the good of humanity. What a host of great tasks stand waiting to be done! What magnificent opportunities stand as a challenge to our power of achievement! We dream of the Crusaders of the twelfth century, while the twentieth century offers us crusades far more thrilling and worth infinitely more to the public good! Here is the field of modern industrialism with its questions of ownership, wage and working conditions; here is the field of government with its problems of international peace, political honesty and public service; here is the work of education with its noble influence reaching round the world and raising all classes of people; here is the ministry of medicine concerned not only with the healing, but with the prevention of disease and needless suffering, and here is the Christian Church whose prophets and priests are to lead the world into a more rational and fervent conception of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It matters little to the world what profession the average man enters, whether he become a man of business, a doctor, a minister or lawyer. But it matters everything whether he be a man of faith, a man who believes in a god, or makes his contribution to it, and knows that in the end it will succeed. So far I have been directing your thoughts forward. I have been emphasizing the possibilities of your own future with the desire that every man might determine to consecrate his strength to a worthy task. Let us each make the venture, have faith in our fellow-man, trust to co-operation, undertake some great cause, and, if it be right and therefore finally victorious, our lives will gain the greater perfection! Now, however, I call your attention to another aspect of our theme—the look backward. Here is the thought: Those who have preceded us and have had faith in us and what we shall do cannot become perfect apart from us! They have done all that they could, but they have been compelled to intrust to our hands the completion of their tasks. If we succeed they are perfected, if we fall their lives are incomplete. Apart from us they shall not become perfect. I know a noble father whose name is known and honored across this country. He has two sons. One of them is as fine and many a fellow as you would ever want to meet. He has chosen a noble profession, works hard in it, and each additional success brings joy and delight to his parents. The other son entered the service of our Government, rose to a position of trust and honor, was discovered-to have betrayed his trust and embezzled the funds intrusted to his charge, and to-day he is serving his sentence as a convict in one of our prisons. What shame, what disappointment, what bitter sorrow has it not brought to his noble father and to his loving mother! Their lips are sealed from speaking his name, their eyes have long ago been wotty dry, and they have learned again how to bravely smile. But forever there is a sorrow in their hearts and a disappointment in their lives. Never, never, will their lives be completely perfect because the one who held that perfection in his power proved false to their faith. The Secreat Prayer. Christ's command to enter one's closet and there pray to the Father in secret was exemplified perfectly in His own life. All through the Gospel's are references to His departing alone to a mountain or some equally quiet place where He could, without interruption, pour out His heart to God. In these days we are wont to characterize as "busy," we are sometimes tempted to think there is no opportunity for the carrying out our Lord's injunction. We should not allow ourselves to be so easily defeated. Christ found the quiet place—His "closet"—because He was determined to find it, not because it was always at His hand. Somewhere is a "closet" for everyone, a place where God wants to hear and to answer to prayer which may be uttered only "in secret." Fidelity to Our Daily Trust. It was while engaged in the monotonous and prosala duty of flock-tending—and that on the edge of a desert—that Moses received the divine revelation which transformed the whole plan of his life. Many a soul waster years in longing for the "halo" without realizing that it generally comet by way of the commonplace. It is in the common acacia bush of an unromantic environment that the light of God appears and makes it glorious to the watchful, faithful soul. What stupendous issues for time and eternity hang upon fidelity to our daily trust we may not realize at the moment, but God will see that true loyalty will never miss its mark. Salvation Salvation is not more salvage. Salvation is high and holy service; it is doing the will of God; it is a call to treasure in a divine purpose.—Rev. W. H.

Their failure to make pur- chases then should be a lesson to the present citizenry who should profit by the lesson and secure much of these cheap lots if fer nothing else but an investment. “If the Negroes in Georgia can call themselves men what on earth can the Cuban Negro cal themselves—zods?

We have had screral failures sin the conducting of shoe stores. ‘These failures should not deter the opening of a first-class shoe store. These other failures, no doubt were caused by the lack of proper management or for thenced of those who understand the busi- ness. The colored people in this city can not be charged with the failure of sup; orting race. enter- prises. They eve kyal in this respect, especially i; cac business men keep the artis they need.

On Wednesday night Jan 12th the Adelphia Club with that brotherly love which permeates its ranks and from which it bears its name gave an unlimited banquet at its quarters. Among the many guests who partook of the elaborate and enjoyab festivity were Messrs. E E Deaverney, John J Strobart, Jr., B A King, I S Henly, J J Small, R A Harper, R B Hegga J E Holmes, Henry Scriven, James H Paige, A A Lovett, Wilie Thomas, Wm Smith, Philip Y Giles, F P Orr, J H Johnson, W J Richards, Jr., B F Johnson, S G Taylor Anthony Wright.

There were few who were unprepared for service for as soon as the invitation was out for the installation the dentists were called into service to prepare the mouth of many do render all the honor due the inner man by proper mastication. The presence of an official delegation from the Young Adelphia Club gave more affluence to the occasion. Toastmaster J C Williams began to grind his linguistic mill and would not let up with the warring until every man had said something about himself or somebody else, it seemed as if the inspiring and animating address of welcome by the advocate of the club J H Davis, aroused every man present in much that if Cicero had been present he would have remained silent from the profundity of eloquence and oratory that gushed forth so freely. This august occasion was not a one sided feature for the men were not satisfied with this evening pleasure, they be leaved in the spiritual development of their brethren, as well as the intellectual and social thus, the closing and grandest scene of all, was the glorious line up by the Adelphia Club and the Young Adelphia Club at the First Congregational Church on Sunday night last.

Although guinea fowls are not very popular they are not unprofitable birds to keep, since their flesh makes excellent eating and their eggs are rich and delicate. The meat resembles that of the pheasant, and forms a pleasing variety of food. The best way to secure a stock of guineas is to procure sittings of eggs and set them under game hens or bantams. The period required to hatch them out is twenty-six to twenty-seven days.—Farmers' Home Journal. Wormy Corn. Does wormy corn make any difference in show corn, and how much is counted off for wormy tips? The corn in one part of the country is very wormy the year. CHA-H. Yes. The wormy ear will not win against the sound ear. If both ears are equally good otherwise, and the more wormy the more is counted off. Corn in this county is affected as yours is. It is hard to find a really perfect ear. Is it so all over the State?—Indiana Farmer. As to Horse Feed. As long as oats and corn are the leading grain rations, for horses there will always be a difference of opinion as to the relative merits of each grain. It has been contended that oats, on account of their nitrogenous elements essential to build up bone and muscle, was the better adapted to all classes of horses than corn, which is rich in carbohydrates or fat building attributes. At the Ohio agricultural experiment station a test was recently made for forty-eight weeks by feeding one horse oats and the other member of the pair corn, the oats being charged to the expense account at thirty cents per bushel and corn at forty cents per bushel. When mixed timothy and clover hay was fed it was found that corn was as efficient as oats by weight in maintaining the horses in prime condition. It was found that corn was a more economical ration than oats and fed in the ear was preferable to feeding shelled corn.—Indiana Farmer. Spread While Fresh. Good farmers have come to better understand the value of barnyard manure when it is spread on the land before leaching away half the fertilizing qualities. For this purpose the manure spreader has come to be recognized as one of the best implements on the farm where live stock are grown. It is said by all who have looked into this matter that if all the solid and liquid manure from farm animals could be collected and carefully saved, it would have an approximate fertility value as follows: Cattle, $19 per head, hogs, $12; sheep, $2; horses, $27. Of course, it is not all saved. There is practically no waste of the liquid manure. Then many farmers allow the solid, when they go to the trouble to put dung to be leached out by the rain and sun. If every farmer saved his wood nests the liquid manure by bedding his stock the solid manure from stables, etc., many millions of dollars, woofhed plant food would be restored to the land, especially if it were all hauled out, daily, or two or three times a week, on the spots needing it worst - Indiana Farmer. 1. Hog Raising. We often wonder why the Southern farmers depend on the West for their bacon. They can raise hogs right at home and come pretty near making as good pork as the West, says Drovers Journal. Corn and cow peas will make a hog hump from pig time to the pork barrel, and these crops grow to perfection in the South. We have used the meat of cow peas down there—in fact the South is the home of the cow pea—and they raise eleven to one hundred bushels of corn whenever they get down to business. We have deltoe us as a letter from a George farmer, who says he raised 110 bushels of corn per acre last year, and sends a photograph of his corn field. It looks like a Kansas corn field. They talk about cotton as a money crop down South. Of course it is, but it is no better than hogs; they are as good as ready money any time. The Southern farmer is learning the new agricultural game very fast, but he is yat a bit slow on the pork question. He will wake up one of these days, and when he begins to turn into pork his rape, alfalfa, soja beans, corn, peanuts, vetch, cow peas and things of that kind which grow abundantly in that gradual climate. he will keep millions of money at home, which is now going elsewhere to buy his bacon. --- Hot Applications For Killing Bowers. A York County farmer wrote to State Zoologist Surface, Harrisburg, Pa., inquiring whether he had any experience in applying boiling water around penn trees to kill the bowers. Professor Surface replied: "I beg to state that I have not used water, alone, but, I have used a boiling hot solution of caustic soda in water, and I find that this does the work when used in the proportion of about one ounce of caustic soda or washing soda in each gallon of boiling water. A quart of this should be gourd around the base of each tree after cleaning away the dirt and gum. A quart of boiling hot water around each tree would not injure it, neither would it would kill the bower. More than this might prove injurious, but I do not know, as I have not tried it. It is my opinion that boiling water alone will not kill borers. "The best thing I have found is to remove the dirt around the trunks of the trees to a depth of perhaps two inches, doing this from the middle to the latter part of June, and spray or wash the trunk to a height of one to two feet and down to the base of the tree as low as possible, using thick boiled lime-sulphur wash, with a goddiment of lime in it, and then replace the soil to its former level. This method in my orchards this year has resulted in less than one per cent. of the trees being infested with borers." Dattening Poultry. Poultry fatten much more quickly and with less feed when confined to a small area than when running at large. It is little use to try to fatten a bird that has not attained its growth or very nearly. It will grow but not fatten. About three weeks before wanted for market confine the birds to be fattened in a small, rather dark place, either coop or pen. See that they are free from lice and keep their quarters comfortably clean. Supply them with plenty of grit and with charcoal to keep their digestion good. Feed a mash of cornmeal and beef seraps, all they will eat, but do not leave it by them, it is likely to sour and cause indigestion. Give them whole corn also to break the monotony occasionally, and a small feed of raw meat or green bone twice a week to keep them vigorous and the appetite from getting cloyed. They should have plenty of fresh water at all times. In three weeks they should be very fat and should have made a gain in weight that will pay for all food eaten during the time. An excellent fattening coop is made of a box with slatted front and bottom nailed to the side of a building, either indoor or out. In warm weather it is preferable out of doors; in cold weather inside. The slatted bottom allows the droppings to fall through and the coop is thus kept clean. Feed and water receptacles can be nailed to the ends. The most usual way is to use a pen in the henhouse, a box stall, or something of this nature and keep it well covered with litter, placing feed and water in troughs. The amount of labor and expense necessary to properly fatten market poultry is small, and when one sees the quantities of scrawny, pin-feathery birds in the market it proves conclusively that there is plenty of room at the top. A fat mature bird will not be pin-feathery.—Weekly Sun. How Much to Feed The exact quantity of feed which it is best and safest to give to poultry is still a leading and often puzzling question. Bulletin No. 78, of the North Dakota station, explains it as follows: "The exact quantity of feed to be given in a daily ration to a pen of laying hens or to a number of stock fowls cannot be stated definitely in a single rule which will apply to every case. The breed of fowls, the time of year and the condition of the birds are features that must be taken into consideration. A Leghorn will not eat as much as a Cochin, and yet she requires more feed in proportion to her weight than a larger fowl. Hens laying in winter quarters should receive more feed than during the heat of summer. To get overfat hens back into laying condition place them on a light diet until the surplus flesh is removed. A heavily laying fowl can scarcely be overfed, but, on the other hand, the good feeder will always aim to have the hens eager and anxious for their feed at meal time. Much depends on the judgment of the feeder. The plan followed with the station flock, in the ration prescribed for laying hens, is given here, not because it will prove the best under all circumstances, but with the hope that it may be of some help to the beginner. One quart of wheat was fed in the morning to each pen of twenty fowls. At noon all the mash was given to them that they would promptly eat up clean. At night one quart of oats and all the corn they would pick from the cob before going to roost formed the evening meal. This was the maximum allowance for each twenty fowls, but the actual amounts fed sometimes varied from these figures. Some care is required in feeding meat or animal foods. If fowls are given all they will eat of green cut bone, bowel trouble may result. Many poultrymen recommend letting the fowls have free access to dried beef scraps. This has been tried with good success at the station with several laying hens during the summer months. The-fowls ate considerably more than would have been fed to them in the mash, but no ill effects were observed." After all, good judgment is required in dishing out the daily rations, and the fowls themselves must be watched closely. They will generally tell by their actions whether they get enough, too much or too little. Weekly Witness. The oil strike in Tayabas, P. I., has brought in existence six oil development companies.

It consists of two shelves, fourteen inches long, attached to the building owned by J. Lewis Ellsworth, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, and the space given up to the display of a few handfuls of fruit and peanuts contains 280 square inches. For more than a quarter of a century the corner was the site of a news and peanut stand, but when the city extended Bigelow court from Front street to Mechanic street, it was seen that the stand encroached on city land. It was demolished to allow the street to be extended and the new line goes to within fourteen inches of the Pilsworth building. Louis Oriente has routed these few inches from Mr. Ellsworth and started to do business, Keeping his stock in trade in a little structure about the size of a dog house in the rear of the Ellsworth building.

WHEN DINNER COMES One Ought to Have a Good Appetite. A good appetite is the best sauce. It goes a long way toward helping in the digestive process, and that is absolutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape-Nuts food is not only nourishing but is a great appetizer. Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner. "I am 57 years old," writes a Teen, grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found anything to equal Grape-Nuts as a standby. "When I have no appetite for breakfast and just eat to keep up my strength, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with good rich milk, and when dinner comes I am hungry. While if I go without any breakfast I never feel like eating dinner. Grape-Nuts for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinner. "My little 13-months-old grandson had been very sick with stomach trouble during the past summer, and finally we put him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is growing plump and well. When asked if he wants his nurse or Grape-Nuts, he brightens up and points to the cupboard. He was no trouble to wean at all—thanks to Grape-Nuts."

ROD CONNECTING SCALE WITH WEIGHING PLATFORM (THE MOVEMENT OF THIS ROD IS UPWARD WHEN SUGAR IS PLACED ON PLATFORM) SPRINGS PRESSING ON SCALE HOLE IN POST How often have we stood thoughtfully in front of a pile of clothing, a suit case and a valise and wondered which bag to take. The shirts wouldn't go in the valise and the suit case wouldn't hold it all, so we were obliged to take both or a trunk. ```markdown ``` Two Chicago men got their heads together and decided to combine the two and get a patent on it, so now we have the combined suit case and valise, which will hold as much as a small trunk and can be carried about with ease. The illustration shows how the two are combined. Necessarily the suit case used is one of the smaller sizes, as otherwise the contrivance would be so bulky that it would discount its convenience in other directions. With this combination a man may feel sure that his suits and shirts are lying flat and not creasing and at the same time he will have all the smaller articles he needs ready to hand in the valise on top.—Boston Post. Clock Stuttered. Too. A droll sort of a fellow, given to stuttering, met an old college chum on the street. They had some hours together and other things. *As the tardy one stealthily ascended the stairs on reaching home, out of the darkness came his wife's voice: "What time is it?" she asked, sternly. "It is j-j-j-j-just 1," he stammered. The words were scarcely uttered when the old fastlioned clock on the landing gave four laborious strokes. "Do you hear that?" she, asked, sharply. "But my d-d-dear," he rejoined, pleasantly, "y-you mustn't mind that c-c-clock. It's I-l-I-like me."—Success Magazine. Sherlock Holmes Again.. IN THE CANAL ZONE.

In the cities of Great Britain the population of which is 200,000 or more the average rate of fare for street railway travel is 1.1 cents a passenger mile. In the cities of Continental Europe the average rate of fare paid for urban transportation is one cent a passenger mile. On the overhead and underground railway in the city of Berlin, Germany, the average rate of fare paid is 1.25 cents a passenger mile. It is quite apparent that the people of Europe—in spite of the general impression here to the contrary—are paying a higher price for a poorer service than are the people of the United States.—Railway and Engineering Review. Keeps Spoon in Place. When the number of kitchen utensils and helps invented is compared with the number of inventions in other lines, the percentage of the former is nothing short of remarkable. It will not be long before the cook will be eliminated entirely and the dinner will be cooked by a series of wires, weights and pulls run by the kitchen clock. One of the latest devices to help the cook is the spoon rest, designed by a New York woman. This consists of a single length of wire bent to form vertically arranged hooks, which fasten over the side of a pot. A long end with a loop to it extends ```markdown ``` out from the other side of the pot. In cooking some dishes it is necessary to have a spoon always handy to stir the contents. Heretofore this spoon has shown an annoying habit of falling in or out of the pot at critical moments, but with the rest just 'described the handle can be placed' in the loop and the whole kept in place by the lid of the pot, or even without it.—Boston Post. Study of Catacombs. A chair of Christian archaeology has been established in the University of Rome by direction of the Minister of Education and Professor Marucci has been appointed as its first occupant. "Marucci, whose entry into the faculty has created much excitement in church circles, is known as the best informed archaeologist of the Vatican," says Flgaro, "and the only surviving pupil of Rossi, who made the catacombs a life study." Brigham Young had just been presented with his hundred and fifth son. A careworn look came over his brow as the news was broken to him, and he sighed deeply. "I don't know what I shall do if this.thing keeps up," he said. "Looks to me, as if sooner or later I'll have to start a fresh air fund."—New York Times Brigham Young. Whitefield on Love and: Marriage George Whitefield, the most persuas- ive preacher England has produced, who died on September 30, 1770, could appeal so powerfully to the emotions that he once enticed all the money from the pocket of the prudent Franklin. Yet he strangely anti- cipated some modern unromantic views on the subject of marriage. In 1740 he applied to the parents of a young lady for the hand of their daughter, adding: "If I know any- thing of my own heart I am free from that foolish passion which the world calls love." When this prosocial proposal was declined the undaunted Whitefield married an elderly Welsh widow, "neither rich nor beautiful." This "Jerry Wedow" did not make a consensual helpmate, and Whitefield remarked, with refreshing candor, that "her death set his mind at rest!"—Westminster, Gazette.

CHICAGO·MERCHANT MAKES STATEMENT. After Spending Thousands of Dollars and Consulting the Most Eminent Physicians, He Was Desperate. CHICAGO, ILLS.:—Mr. J. G. Becker, of 134 Van Buren St., a well-known wholesale dry goods dealer, states as follows: "I have had catarrh for more than thirty years. Have tried everything on earth and spent thousands of dollars for other medicines and with physicians, without getting any lasting relief, and can say to you that I have found Peruna the only remedy that has cured me permanently.

FOOLING POOR OLD GRANDMOTHER. Dotty Dimple had been the petted family cat for eleven years, and was now in the enjoyment of a dignified position and what should have been a serene old age. These honors were gladly conceded to her by every member of the household except a graceless grandson of hers named Bob. Bob had been, from the basket, a rebel and an outlaw, and he looked like one. His one eye was clever and malevolent, and his general demeanor was a combination of mischief and sanctimonious pretension, and so unsavory was his reputation that all unattached misdemeanors were promptly laid to "that rascal Bob." In spite of his many black deeds his cleverness won him many admirers, and he swung through his career with a reckless disregard of the disapproval of his relatives, human and feline. His depravity had, during the six months preceding this story, taken the form of teasing his grandmother, and so pertinacious had his persecution become that the usually amenable Dotty had on several occasions fallen upon him with a ferocity seldom seen in her placid existence. One particularly obnoxious insult was to take a running jump over her back as she was pursuing a stately promenade, a proceeding that would have cost him his life had he been less nimble. He would make the flying leap with a "whoop-la" air, and then rush for a distant fence, where he would sit grinning with delight at the fury of Dotty. Matters had gone on from bad to worse until the atmosphere was charged with the smell of battle all the time. To preserve peace, Bob had been retired from the house life almost entirely, but on this occasion vigilance slept, and in the afternoon he sauntered into the kitchen with mischief in his eye. His grandmother was in her favorite chair, sleeping the sleep of did age. He head had fallen over the edge of the chair, her mouth was slightly open, she was snoring, and she was dead with sleep. Bob sat and surveyed her for some time with his bad-boy air. Then he rose, very stealthily worked his way over to the chair, and raising himself high enough to bring his mouth close to her ear, yelled a blood-curdling "miau" into it, and retreated precipitately toward the door, where he watched developments. The crack of doom could have done no more for poor Dotty. She flew up bodily off the chair, spitting, screaming, and clawing at the cushions in a frenzy of fright. At last, panting, exhausted and wide-awake, she caught sight of her tormentor, who immediately fled the scene, and saved his skin only by reaching a fence which was beyond her enfeebled powers. The truth of this story is asserted by one who witnessed the whole episode. After this prank Bob became an exife from home until his grandmother was gathered to her forbears. Youth's Companion. WORDS OF WISDOM. The only thing constant about a man's heart is its constant change. There is a season when every time a woman kisses her husband he feels for his pocketbook and grapples it to his heart with hooks of steel. One carat of engagement ring is worth a pound of promises. When love is done a man seals his heart, but a woman merely conceals hers. Before marriage we get the cream of love and then wonder why we have to live on skimmed milk forever afterward. The only way to live happily with a husband is to let him know that you can live happily without him. A woman has no reason, but a man who wants to do anythinghe shouldn't do always has at least a dozen. It is unlucky to give a lover anything sharp—even a sharp answer. A married man never appreciates the symphony of love unless he is allowed to lead the orchestra while his wife plays second fiddle. A woman is such a helpless little thing that most men fancy it would be impossible for her to vote with one hand and curl her hair with the other. The man who courts trouble sometimes ends by marrying it. From the state of coma into which most husbands sinks it looks as though after marriage "love's sweet song" must lapse into a lullaby. Flirtation is the bubble in life's glass, love the wine, marriage the dregs and divorce the headache, and yet most of us keep on calling for another glass! A man is always shocked when he discovers that the woman he loves makes up her face, but he is never utterly disgusted until he finds that she also has a way of making up her mind.—Helen Rowland, in the New York World. Doing Her Best. "Won't you try to love me?" he sighed. "I have tried," she replied, kindly but firmly. "In that case, dear, I will try again!"—Puck.

It needs attention at once. Cure it by taking Botanic Blood If you prefer ready-mixed fertilizers, insist on having enough Potash in them to raise the crop as well as to raise the price. Crops contain more than three times as much Potash as phosphoric acid. It was found years ago that the composition of the crop is not a sure guide to the most profitable fertilizer, but it does not take a very smart man to figure out that a well-balanced fertilizer should contain at least as much Potash as Phosphoric acid. Insist on having it so. If you do not find the brand you want, make one by adding enough Potash to make it right. To increase the Potash 5 per cent., add 10 pounds of Muriate or Sulphate of Potash to each 100 pounds of mixed fertilizer; to increase it 10 per cent., add 20 pounds.

Charlie Luscombe, coming late, dash- ed up the walk, a broad grin upon his face. ‘ “Have you seenyRichmond?” he de- manded of his hostess. “I say, it’s the greatest Iark.”” “I have not seen Mr. Richmond to- day," said Cloely, coldly. . “Ho's right across the street,” ex- plained Charles. “Been there all day in fact.” ' “What's that?” asked Tom Heffron, coming up. ~e. “Sten Richmond on the stone pile,” laughed Luscombe. ‘He's right across the street. Must be a bet or some- thing.” Heffron raced down the walk and across the street. Presently the rest of the guests’ followed and gathered about Richmond, who, in his old clothes, straddled a pile of broken stones. i { Cicely was the last to join the crowd nd the only one who realized the meaning of ‘the trick. ‘ “Sorry, I gouldn’t‘come to your ‘par- ty,” cried Richmond, “but I ‘had a bet than I could earn an honest day’s wages. I’m holding out pretty well.” “You ought to be ashamed of your- self,” scolded Cicely. “And on the day of’my party of all times.” “The better the day the better the deed,” be quoted. “Io do not believe in hiding my Nght under a bushel.” “You needn't let it shine forth from the rock heap,” she scolded. ‘I’m ashamed for you, Step.” “Let u6 man—or woman—be asham- ed of honest toll,” he declaimed ora- cularly. “That's one of Miss Peak- man’s pet texts. I'm getting right in line for radical socialism.’t “If you stop now, you will still have time to dress and come to the party,” urged Cicely. “L know it,” he agreed, “but it's a a day or die with me. I want to show that my muscles are useful for some- thing more than track athletics. I'l be over this evening.” “Indeed you wont.” declared Cicely with asperity, ‘I shall not be .at horie.” “Practice what you preach,” he warned. “Don't preach about the no- bility of labor and then refuse to re- ceive the laborer.” ._ “I think you're perfectly liorrid,” declared Cicely. “And I looked for commendatton,” ho answered in mock surprise. With flushed face the girl turned away. The others had gone back, and her duty as hostess lay with them. Ghe misséd Richmond more than she would have thought possible. He ‘heat eturave hse the fia-of hae ten; ) easurence that always irritated: her. ‘He offered her & box" of candy. “I bought that with the money 1 earned,” he said with a amile, “the ‘first fruits of my, manual Jabor.’* “I think you're horrid,” she sald by way of thanks. “No, you ‘don't, he declared judi- clously. “You are angry becuse I put your preaching into practice.’ _ “You -could have done something more dignified than breaking stone,” she insisted. : “All labor is honorable,” he declar- ed. “Ask Miss Perkman.” <% | “I don’t want ever to see Mls Perk- man again,” she sald, trying to keep back the tears. “In that case,” he sald as he took his seat beside her and folded ner‘ in ‘his arms, “I’m sorry I ‘was so mean. Will "you forgive me, dear?” | * “You don’t deserve it,” she declared. “Will you,” he persisted. “Yes, "she whispered softly. “And it is ‘yes’ to that question I asked you yesterday?” This time there was @ longer pause, but finally Richmond; leaning over, heard the whisperéd‘*yes” that made him happy.—Richmond Times-Star. MEN THAT CAN SEW? SURELY. There Are Plenty of Them, Mr, Blink- inton Says, and Some That Really Kno®& How. - ‘Who says men can't sew? Why, of cours’ they can sew,” said Mr. Binkinton. “Don’t plenty of bache- jlors do their own mending and darn- ing 2 A. poor. fist they may make of it, some of them; they may take long and crooked stitches and maybe they draw holes together Instead of darn- ing them, but they can sew, in their way, Don't all soldiers do thelr own mending regularly in the army? And aren’t there plenty of old vetz of the civil war, to say nothing of the Span- ish-American confiict, who still, from force of habit, do thelr own needle and thread tinkering? “All only amateurs, these, you say, just amateurs? Maybe so; but they can sew, all right, can’t they? And when you come to think of it are there not thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of tailors, profes- sional men sewers, the very highest experts with the needie?. Wuy I guess certainly yes. We have a com- monly accepted notion that only wo- men can sew, but you see how fan- fastically futile that notion is when you come to consider. Doubtless there are more women sewers than men sewers, and more women that can sow well, but there are plenty, plenty of men who can sew, and soma who can sew very well. “AN came to mind seeing a man mend at umbrella, this man béing a traveling umbrella mender. You know what you expect to see the perl- patetic umbrella mender doing 1s hammering, riveting, tinkering, put- ting in new ribs or spreaders, or put- ting on new handles, but this man was sewing. ~ “You know how the silk panels of an umbrella or a parasol will wear and break on a line down from the top between the ribs where the panels fold? Careful housewives, econom!- cat and willing to carry an umbrella that has heen mended, will darn these holes in an umbrella, and that's what this umbrella mender was doing now, sitting on the curbstone with his feet in the gutter at 7 o'clock n the morn- ing. “His stock he had lafd down on the sidewalk beside him and now he sat on the curb darning up holes in an umbrella that he hid just geontracted fo mend, And he went at it with the manner of a man who knew what he was about. His needle was thrust into the fabric, not at random, but.in just the right place, and put through on the other slde of the hole with the same precision, and it was easy to see by the way he drew the thread through that he really could sew and Jarn; that he Imew how. . “Oh, yes, there are plenty of ‘men that can sew—after a fashion; and there are not a few that can really sew."—New York Sun ” . Red-Headed Girls Apply. , ‘In yesterday morning's “Obsetver” a Beaufort ginger ale mad advertised that 500 bottles of ginger ale would be given to the first 500° girls from the north and soiith graded schools who would call at the “Observer” offtce between, two and three o'clock, and that a box of:Huyler’s candy would be given to the first red-headed girl who’ called. There was no trouble about ‘getting rid of the ale, but wher, two, instead of one, red-headed girls came in promptly at two o'clock, the custo- -dian of the Huyler’s became extremely nervous. He was up a tree. “Is my hair redsenough?” asked the auburn-halred maiden in front. “Mine is the ceddest!” exclaimed No. 2. - ‘The ale man entreated five minutes in which to reflect over the matter. ‘When the five mintues were out he gave the reddestheaded girl the candy and the other one half a dozen bottles of Beaufort to equalize things.

Here ig the government recipe for cleaning brass. It is used in all the United States arsenals, and is said to be the best in the world. This is the recipe: One quart of common nitric acid to 1 pint of sulphuric acid. Keep the mixture in a stone jar, having ready a pailful of fresh water and box full” of sawdust. Articles to be cleaned must first be dipped in, the acid mixture, then into the water and dried with sawdust, This process of cleaning will change the brass im- mediately to a-brilliant color. If the metal is greasy;. as candlesticks ‘would be, dip first in a strong solution of potash and soda in warm weather. This cuts the grease and permits the acid to "work, This method of clean- ing brass fs entirely harmless, and is very satisfactory, but care must be taken in the uso and handling of the acids.—American Cooking Magazine. Caring For Table Linen; . The careful keeping of table Nnen will mean more toward a perfect table than perhaps the, qualtly of the-linen itself. The most exquisite table Hnen will look no better than the poarest quality if it he thrown into @ too small drawer or closet. Just a pair of tablecloths will go further if they are kepf well flattened or, better still, rolled on a pasteboard or wooden roller, than a dozen ill-kept ones, |. All centerpieces, if not rolled, should be spread flat, in a full-sized box or a Mnen-covered portfolio. The port follo is a rellable addition to the din- ing room or pantry, and it may be made at home by covering two pfeces of pasteboard with tan colored linen or crash, hinging them together with coarse linen thread or with narrow ribbon strips an inch in length, sa that the portfolio will hold more flat laden pieces. Tbis, when filled, is tled to gether with ribbons and kept in a nap- kin drawer, where even the sudden rush for napkins can no longer wrin- kJe the embroidered linens.—Indiana- polis News. | - "Tempting Cellars.

What is Our Duty? Masters of lodges are asked many questions, especially as to the duty one Mason owes to another, under certain circumstances. ‘Lhe principal point usually hinges on this: Are Mia- sons actually bound by their obliga. tions In the every day affairs of life? For ‘instance; a Master was recent: ly asked this question: “Is it my duty to inform Brother ———— that tle manager of his farm is abusing his (the brother's) stock, and is serfous- ly neglecting his duties to als em- ployer?" 5 ? . ‘fhe Master answered in the, affirm. ative. And he was right, - -Our obligations are not mere ‘play- things, ‘hey are serlous, and are meant to be so. They should guide us in our conduct one towards an- other. Not only should we warn our breth- ren when we°see they are“about to commit a moral'lapse, but their’ ma- terial interests should also engage our attention. | We are in truta brethren, bound together by the most sacred ties. Our brother's ‘welfare, our brother's in- terests, should be as dear to us as our own. Such is Masonry as it should be practiced outside the lodge. And this is indeed the glory of Masonry, and the secret of its strength and power—Herald.
