The Action of the Government in Promptly Confirming the New Trade Agreement is Expected to Show More Than Anything Else Out Feeling of Cordiality for Japanese—The Effect Will Be to Permit That Country to Reorganize Its Fiscal System. Washington, D. C.—The new Japanese treaty of trade and navigation was ratified Friday night after a two-hour executive session of the Senate held at the conclusion of a day crowded with many other important matters. While the apprehension of Western senators that the treaty might let down the hars to coolie labor was not entirely removed, these senators contented themselves with expressing solicitude. They interposed no objection to ratification. The action of this government in promptly confirming the new agreement is expected to do more to prove the feeling of cordiality that this country has for Japan than anything that has been done for many years. It is regarded as a manifestation of highest confidence in the advanced civilization of that nation. The effect will be to permit Japan to enter at once upon a reorganization of its fiscal system and the making of new tariffs with all nations. Expiration Advanced. Japan's treaties with other powers are to expire July 17 next. That with the United States, by reason of its later ratification, would have continued until the same date a year later had not this government consented to its expiration at the same time as the others. Failure to have ratified the new treaty would have delayed the operation of the Japanese program for a year beyond the time when it was planned to put it into effect. It would have meant a great deal to the revenues of Japan and the continuance of the existing treaty with the United States for another year would not have benefited this government in the slightest degree, according to the representations of the State Department on the subject. When the new treaty was received from the President on Tuesday it immediately became the subject of wrangles. Pacific Coast senators feared it might have an effect upon the labor situation on the Western slope by reason of the omission of the clause in the treaty of 1894 which it supersedes, recognizing the right of this government to pass an exclusion law. Friends of the treaty explained that the diplomatic notes accompanying it definitely pledged the Japanese government to prevent an influx of undesirable coolies through the rigid scrutiny of all passports. Must Have Passports. An allen without a passport would, of course, be liable to deportation. The California senators, it is said, became satisfied early that the change would not menace the labor situation in their state. Several other Western senators became alarmed, however, at what seemed to them unseamly haste in pressing the Senate to act. They desired sentiment to crystallize in their state and therefore prevented action for three days. JAPAN SAVES ITS FACE. But President Taft Arouses Western Congressmen. Washington, D. C.—The text of a new treaty with Japan, designed to replace that of 1894 and drawn with the special design of eliminating the restrictions upon immigration contained in that treaty, was laid before the Senate by President Taft. The essential difference between the proposed treaty and the existing convention is said to be in the fact that it omits all reference to such restrictions and leaves to the national honor of Japan the entorment at her own ports the limitations upon immigration from Japan now expressly placed upon immigration into the United States. The document is said to provide that either country may renounce the treaty at the end of six months if it fails to operate as expected. Will Revise The Hariff. Washington, D. C. — If an extra session of Congress is called following the adjournment of the present session March 4, next the Democrats of the House will set about at once to revise several schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act. BRAVE GIRL SAVES CHILDREN Conquers Man With Pistol in Chicago: Chicago.—In a struggle with Robert Braun, in which a girl braved a magazine pistol and was beaten about the face until she was all but unconscious, the victim worsted her opponent and by a remarkable display of courage probably saved the lives of four children. The unequal fight occurred in the parlor of the home of George Elchner, on East Illinois street, and Miss Emma Elchner, 18 years old, was the heroine. It began the instant that Braun, who was nursing fancied wrongs against Elchner, knocked at the door early in the evening and asked to be admitted. "No," you'd better come around tomorrow," said the girl. "I'm here now and I'm here to stay," exclaimed Braun, pulling the magazine platol from his pocket and forcing his way into the hall. Miss Eichner seized his arms and with all her strength tried to push the intruder back. Together they struggled until reaching the parlor door. Braun noticed the four children. Then he leveled his pistol at the children, who huddled under a davenport in a corner and was about to fire. But the girl released her grip on his other arm and, with both hands, forced the muzzle of the weapon toward the ceiling as Braun fired. Unable to bring the pistol into play, Braun beat the girl until blood flowed from half a dozen wounds in her face, but she stubbornly clung to him. Again and again he fired, but to no purpose. Finally the gun clogged and while he was examining it Miss Eichner pushed him out of the front door and closed and locked it. Braun then rushed to the tailor shop of an acquaintance, Joseph Stumpf, shot him in the shoulder and in the hand and was about to fire a third time, when once more the gun clogged. He drew another weapon from his pocket but missed fire. While examining it he shot one of his own fingers off. He then abandoned his attack, visited a doctor's office and was arrested while his injury was being treated. Braun will be held in jail pending an examination into his mental condition. DISAGREE WITH HOBSON. Resident Americans in Japan Refute the Report. Tokio.—A meeting of American resident in Japan was held in Yokohama recently in the Interests of the International peace movement. Among the business done was the adoption of a resolution designed to refute the reports that public sentiment in this country is hostile to the United States as follows: "That, in our opinion, the people of Japan have at all times entertained the most friendly and cordial sentiments toward the government and people of the United States, and that there never has been and is not now any feeling other than one of confidence and gratitude. We believe, upon evidence which cannot be doubted, that there is not to be found in the Japanese empire any wish or thought other than to maintain the most friendly and cordial relations with the republic of the United States, and that any representations to the contrary, wherever emanating and from whatever cause proceeding, are baseless calumnies, which, if uncontradicted, can only result in vast material losses to the people of both governments and in creating an unhappy prejudice between them." Honolulu—Five thousand Japanese joined in a lantern parade here in celebration of Washington's birthday. Speeches of friendship were made. The demonstration followed a carnival held under the auspices of the Mystic Order of Shriners and the Order of Elks. The Japanese ended their procession in front of the grounds where the Elks were holding a fete. The Japanese consul reviewed the Elks gathering and made a speech assuring the Americans of the friendship of the Japanese. Gov. Frear, in responding, said he accepted the demonstration as evidence of the cordial relations of the two nations. Nowhere on earth, he added, was the spirit of international brotherhood better shown than in Hawaii. Think Lost Girl Dead. New York. — Dorothy Arnold is now classed by the police simply as a missing person. Second Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn, when asked what he thought about the mystery of the girl's disappearance, replied that, in view of all the circumstances, it seems only reasonable to believe that the girl is dead. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1911. MUST MAKE OLD RATES PERMANENT Inter-State Commerce Commission Decision. RAILROADS FORBIDDEN TO RAISE RATES. The Commission Decides That the Companies Have Not Shown the Necessity of the Advances—Cannot lay Burden of Poor Financiering on the Public—Revenues Have Increased More Than Expenses—Credit of the Companies is Good. Washington, D. C.—The Interstate Commerce Commission decided against the railroads in both the "Eastern" and the "Western" cases. The decision, eagerly awaited by railroads and shippers alike, was handed down Thursday afternoon. Proposed advances in class freight rates in official classification territory, aggregating among all the railways in the territory approximately $27,000,000 a year, were disapproved by the commission. In the case involving the increases by the railroads in Western Trunk line territory the commission also declined to approve the proposed advances in commodity rates. The carriers in both cases are required to cancel on or before March 10 their advanced tariffs and restore their former rates, which are the rates now in effect. If this requirement be not complied with, the commission will issue a formal order suspending the proposed advances and putting into effect the existing rates for at least two years. In the case of the Railroad Commission of Texas against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and other carriers, known popularly as the Southwestern rate case, the Commission declined to disturb the commodity rates or the first-class rates complained of. The defendants are ordered, however, to reduce the second-class rates, which were increased from $1.21 to $1.29 to $1.25. On the remaining classes the defendants are required to restore the rates in effect before the increased rategates were published. In brief, this is the disposition made by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the most important cases ever brought to its attention. In a sense the decisions were in the nature of a surprise to railroad officials and other experts who had followed closely the proceedings, a majority of whom believed the commission would grant some increase to the Western lines if not to the Eastern. FIVE KILLED IN MINE. Night Shift Being on Duty Averts Worse Disaster. Indianapolis, Ind. — An explosion of dust, caused by solid firing, resulted in the fatal burning of five miners in the Hamilton coal mine, at Hymera, owned by the Rock Island Railroad Company. The explosion was in the mine entry, and nothing but the fact that the night shift was working kept the disaster from being more serious. The mine was badly damaged. 250 TURKS LOST AT SEA. Steamer Carrying Pilgrims Is Said to Have Been Burned. Constantinople.—The Turkish steamship Hurrier, carrying 250 Moslem pilgrims, has been burned at sea, and all on board perished, according to a report received here. The report was sent to a Turkish newspaper, and has not been officially confirmed. For Washington Memorial New York. Mrs. H. F. Dimock, president of the George Washington Memorial Association, announced that there had been subscribed more than half of the $1,000,000 necessary for the erection of the proposed George Washington Memorial Building in Washington. Among the recent gifts was $10,000 from James J. Hill. Engineer Killed In Wreck Bristol, Tenn.—Both engines of a double-header coal train on the Virginia and Southwestern Railroad jumped the track and turned over down a bank at Clinchport, Va. Engineer Hicks, of Bristol, was crushed to death and Engineer Charles Brown and Fireman Joice were fatally injured. Senate Defeats Referendum Topeka, Kan.—The Senate defeated the initiative and referendum and the recall bills which had been passed by the House. BIG SLIDE ON PANAMA CANAL All Theories of the Engineers Completely Upset. Colon. — Without warning, upsetting all theories and all estimates, 500,000 cubic yards of rock and earth slid into the Pioneer cut just opposite the town of Culebra. It is one of the worst slides the canal commission engineers have had to contend with, and it is worse than any previous slide from the fact that the others could be explained, even predicted. The latest avalanche of dirt changes canal plans materially. It makes it seem necessary that the entire prism shall be enlarged sufficiently to prevent any occurrence of the sort after the completion of the canal. There seems to be no doubt that all of Gold Hill will have to be removed, in itself a considerable undertaking. And 335,000 yards of the slide itself represents waste. The remainder it was intended to remove. Most disconcerting of all, theories which heretofore have served to explain slides to the satisfaction of the engineers' brains are pricked like a toy balloon. It always has been held that slides were caused when heavy rainfall made the earth soggy and the sloping beds of rock became slippery. When the weight overcame adhesion, and when the concussion of dynamite blasts gave final impetus, it was believed the slides took place. But the Gold Hill slide is without precedent. There have been no heavy rains in this section for six weeks, and there has been no blasting in the vicinity for more than a year. On the steep slope of Gold Hill, directly opposite the town of Culebra — in other words, on the east side of Culebra Cut—a section 100 feet long and from 20 to 100 feet wide dropped into the cut. On the 135-foot level was a ledge. The slide started above this ledge, which was completely destroyed along the entire length of the slide, a vast amount of material being forced clear down to and nearly filling the Pioneer Drainage Cut. A few weeks ago a large amount of earth and rock slid into the canal at Las Cascadas, a few miles north of Culebra town. A few miles south is the great Cuchoaracha slide which has been giving trouble. This makes it appear that the entire cut will have to be widened sooner or later to a large extent in order to avoid serious difficulty when the canal shall have been completed. PLAGUE AND FAMINE RAVAGE. Conditions in China Are Growing Steadily Worse. New. York.—Advices from China to the American Red Cross made public at its offices here are to the effect that conditions in the famine district are as bad as have been indicated by reports from various other sources and are growing worse as days go by. That 2,500,000 Chinese will die for want of bread if assistance is not rendered immediately is the prediction in a statement made by the organization. This number comprises nearly the entire population of the northern part of the Provinces of Klangsu and Anhul. The statement continues: "The plague is creeping southward toward this famine district. It has ravaged Manchuria, and thousands of refugees, who have fled to Chefu, in Chantung province, have carried it there. Hundreds of deaths occur daily. The frozen ground prevents the burial of the dead, and long rows of coffins lie on the roadside. "American Consul-General Wilder, at Shanghai, cabled to the Red Cross that persons stricken with this plague die in a few hours, and it is of so fatal a nature that no one ever recovers. The people at last have consented to cremation and several thousand of these bodies have been burned. The plague is now only about 150 miles from the provinces, and if it ever reaches there the result will be appalling." Plague Wipes Out Entire Village. St. Petersburg.—A telegram from Harbin reports the gruesome discovery of a Chinese village there in which the entire population is dead from the plague. Indian Tries Aeroplaning London.—The first red Indian to take a trip in an aeroplane is Blind Bull, a Sloux, who accompanied S. F. Cody in a flight at Aldershot on the latter's biplane. The Indian is one of a Wild West company appearing at a local theater, and he made the flight in full war paint and feathers. Jack London Safe Oakland, Cal.-The report that Jack London, the novelist, was in jail at Mexicall, Mexico, as a revolutionist, proves to be without foundation.' Mr. London is here' How the Young African Native Courts and Weds His Dusky Ten- A wife in the Congo region costs $10. This sum is paid to the parents of the girl or to the man who owns her as his slave. The girl seldom has any voice in the matter. Sometimes, however, the couple wishing to be married make their own bargain and then it is an interesting business. The young man seeks to meet the darling of his dreams. But how and where are the questions that worry and puzzle him. Often he takes refuge in the home of the evangelist and gets him to write a note for him. He then goes out, cuts a stick and splits it at the top, puts the letter in the split and hurries to get a carrier. When it is delivered he stands around to see how it is received. If it is favorably received a nice pot of food is cooked and sent to him. The parties are then considered engaged. A man can have as many wives as he can buy. I saw one man, a king, who had 40. The marriage feast is a ceremonious affair with the heathen. If the groom is wealthy all of the drums, horns, bells, musicians and dancing masters are hired to do the bride honor. All of the luxuries of the tropics, according to the native ideas, are in evidence at the feast. I have known them to have a hundred pots of food at a single wedding supper.—Southern Workman. NOT IMPORTANT CONSIGNEE Lodger—How dared you lose my letter. Landlady—Don't worry, I read it and it was not interesting. ROUGH ON GERMS. If the discovery made by Prof. H. C. Carel of the University of Minnesota proves successful, one may swallow as many germs as one likes without annoying results—that is, if a drop of "benetol" is taken for dessert. This new chemical which is eight times as strong as carbolic acid, and yet not poisonous, warranted to kill germs of any sort and size. "I am so confident of benetol," says Professor Carel, "that I am willing to submit myself to cholera infection to prove that it can be successfully treated with my discovery." His assertions have been corroborated by leading bacteriologists. — Success Magazine. FORGOTTEN INVENTORS. We are daily using many devices of the greatest benefit the names of whose inventors are lost in oblivion. What would the world do without scissors, for example? Yet the man who invented this wonderful instrument is as entirely unknown to mankind as the man who constructed the first wheelbarrow. It was certainly an ingenious conception, on the part of the unknown inventor, to put two knives and fasten them in the center by a rivef. That idea was too useful to die. PROTECTION FOR REVELERS. In Copenhagen, as in Amsterdam, provision is made for the safe conveyance home of inebriated revellers. When a policeman in the Danish capital finds an intoxicated man wandering at large he places him in a cab and takes him to the nearest police station, where he is examined by a doctor and then sent home in the cab. The following morning the bill for the doctor and the cab is sent to the publican who served the man with his last drink. NO.24. Stranger In New York Marveled at Advertisements Painted on Wagon Covers and Flat Roofs. It wasn't the height of the buildings in lower Manhattan that impressed him, nor the crowds of Nassau street, nor the speed of the elevators, nor the intentness of the people, relates the New York Sun. He took them as matters of course about what he had expected. When they took him up to the twenty-fifth floor he was plainly interested in the ships and the ferryboats. But these too were about what he had looked for. Presently, however, he caught something moving in the bed of the ravine at his feet. "By George," said he, "that's queer. I'd never thought of that." What he saw was a covered delivery wagon with the name of the firm painted broadly on the top. On the flat roof of a little building to the south was painted the name of a printer and the special kind of work he did. Elsewhere were names of fruiterers, dealers in office furniture, restaurant keepers, all painted on the roofs of their buildings. "Yes, sir," said the newcomer, "I consider those signs just as remarkable as the high buildings themselves." COULDN'T USE CANADA DIME Dignity and Self-Respect of the Panhandler Were Injured by Donation of a Foreign Coln. The man was beating his way up against the wind on Park row, it being a dark and stormy night, when the inevitable panhandler appeared at his elbow and poured forth the usual plaintive tale of a sick mother and no work to be found anywhere. A dime—only a dime—would help a hard-working man to prevent death from starvation—and thirst. The man took about as much stock in the tale as in countless others he had heard, but he produced the dime and earned the profuse thanks of the gentleman with the ragged beard and incandescent nose. He was about to dash for his car at the bridge, when the same voice again sounded in his ear, and he turned to behold his friend again with outstretched hand. "Say, master," said Mr. P. Handler in a tone of formality slightly tinged with injured dignity, "I can't use this. It's a Canadian dime."—New York Press. HOME-MAKING SCHOOL. The latest thing in Boston instruction is a school of matrimony, in which girls are taught how to be good wives and mothers. At this place of instruction from nine o'clock to five for five days out of the week they assemble and go diligently into the work. It is of a strictly practical nature. Literature, ethics, child study, household arts, house building, textiles and sewing, handwork and design, music in the home, home economics, and many other things which relate directly to home life are taught. The school is reported to be well attended. WIVES OF SCIENTIFIC MEN. Mme. Curie, who is probably the leader among women who have discovered things, became interested in chemistry through work with her husband and with him made the discovery of radium. Lady Huggins, wife of Sir William Huggins, the noted astronomer, is her husband's sole assistant in his observatory. Mrs. Walter Maunder is vice-president of the British Astronomical observatory and has written some books. The wife of Professor Roberts has also helped him in his work. GRACE BEFORE MEAT. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the suffragist leader, had her attention called, at a dinner at the Colony club in New York, to a stout young woman who was very tightly clad. “Look at her,’ said Mrs. Chapman Catt’s neighbor, ‘she’s passing every dish. She is actually laced too tight to eat.’ “Yes,’ said the other. ‘It’s a case of grace before meat, isn’t it?” BOOKER WASHINGTON OUTLINES NEGRO'S DUTY IN MATERIALIZING THE SOUTH'S INDUSTRIAL DESTINY The nine millions of Negroes in the southern states have at the present time some tremendous advantages, advantages which I believe are greater than those possessed by any people in a similar stage of civilization in any part of the world. I know, and no man who would be honest and frank would say otherwise, that we has disadvantages, tremendous difficulties, but our advantages are many more than our disadvantages, and it will pay us better to call the attention of the world to our advantages rather than to our disadvantages. I believe that every man who has succeeded in business will agree that it does not pay in the conduct of a business to advertise one's troubles too much. I have learned that it does not pay a race for it to advertise its troubles and disadvantages too much. The world is interested in success and is rarely interested in failure. One soon gets tired of following a funeral procession. For that reason while I do not believe in pointing out wherever and whenever I can do so, the opportunities that exist here in the south particularly as I sometimes fear that members of my race do not fully appreciate the advantages by which they are surrounded in this soutland. The Negro in the south eats better food day by day, dresses better day by day and lives in better houses than any working class of people to be found anywhere in the world outside of the United States, particularly is this true if we consider the matter of climate and compare the Negro with the working class in Spain or Italy or any other portion of southern Europe. The Negro is a connoisseur of food. He prepares his food after the same fashion the white man does, and eats the best food. The Negro does not use a chopstick when he eats, neither does he live on stale food if there is any good, fresh, tempting food nearby in the community. The Negro's the only ordinary working man that I know of who always changes his clothes on Sunday. The average Negro, no matter how ignorant or low in the scale of civilization, will have something fresh and clean, if only a collar to put on on Sunday. How different is the Negro in this respect from many other working classes of people. The country Negro especially has a degree of comfort in his houses that many working people do not have. In many cases these houses are small, unattractive, but they have the advantage of having plenty of good fresh air, and it is very rare that a Negro family suffers for want of fuel. If the masses of Negroes can be gotten to the point where they will think about these advantages, it will prove a great help and encouragement to them. Let me add, in passing, that it has always seemed to me the business of a sound educational policy to point out these opportunities to the masses of my people and teach them to take advantage of them. The average Negro family in the south has another tremendous advantage. He can buy land cheaply and on almost any terms in nearly every portion of the south. He lives in a part of the country where the climate is genial and where there is plenty of rain and plenty of sunshine. There are portions of the west where land can be purchased for $5 or $6 per acre, but water costs $15 or $20 an acre. Here one has cheap land, plenty of rain and plenty of sunshine without a dollar's cost. How different is the condition of the average Negro in the south from that of the average working man in the old world. One can go into the large cities of England, France and Germany and New York, Chicago and Boston, and find during any season of ODDS AND ENDS. --- The construction of a long-distance telephone line 275 miles from Moscow to Nizhnii Novgorod has been completed and communication between the two cities has been established. As a memorial to the Marquis of Ripon (who died in July of last year) seven painted glass windows have been placed in St. Wilfrid's Roman Catholic church, Ripon, representing figures of saints. British capitalists are building slaughter houses for export of Russian bacon to England. The Prieburg silver mines of Saxony have been closed, after having been worked for seven hundred years. Over 6,000,000 acres of land are under tobacco cultivation throughout the world. Holland is about to establish schools of housewifery for the daughters of farmers. The sad consequences of overcrowding are plainly to be seen in the mortality statistics of Vienna. In the crowded tenement districts 296 deaths in 10,000 are recorded, against 123 in the better class districts. A red sunset foretells dry weather, because it indicates that the air toward the West, from which rain may generally be expected, contains little moisture. Hair darkens some 55 per cent. during the first five years of life, and a further 33 per cent. up to the age of 45. This darkening is more marked in males than in females.

Only one belongs to the middle class. the year thousands of men and women out of employment. In many cases, because they cannot find work, they suffer for want of clotting, food and shelter. Here in the south I will venture to say that there is no Negro man or woman in any community, who, during any considerable portion of the year, cannot find work and all the work that he or she wants; in fact, in the average community in the south, the Negro does not have to look for work, but work looks for him. Then, in the south, the Negro has the advantage of being permitted to work at practically any occupation that he needs to work at, whether in the direction of common labor or otherwise. Labor Troubles. I know that we sometimes hear of troubles between the races in the matter of labor. These differences are of such a rare occurrence that they scarcely need to be noted. While speaking of labor troubles, I might say that in nineteen cases out of twenty, there is peace and quite, and all the other evidences of friendship, existing between the colored people and white people in our southern communities. One has only to reside in a northern community for a few days in order to understand fully the blessing which we enjoy in the southland in being free from labor troubles and the hampering restrictions of trades unions. In the old country the common laborer is not nearly so well off as is true of the Negro in the south. In Japan, India, Turkey and many parts of Spain and Italy, laborers receive from 10 to 15 cents per day, and are glad to get it. In every portion of the south, the Negro receives from five to ten times this much pay. Again, the Negro in the south has the advantage in the character of the white men by whom he is surrounded. I venture the assertion that, in no other part of the civilized or uncivilized world where there are so many black people living by the side of so many white people, are the relations of the races so friendly as is true of the southern Negro and the southern white man. This assertion I make keeping in mind many changes that ought to be made in the near future in relation to the Negro's life; keeping in mind the many elements of injustice in the present situation. The southern white man is more patient, more kindly and long-suffering with the Negro than any other white man who knows less about him would be. The Negro understands the southern white man and the southern white man understands him. Go into any southern community and you will find that every Negro has a white friend and every white man has a Negro friend, and it is this individual friendship that is going to prove the basis for the solution of whatever racial problem remains to be solved. It is because of this personal friendship, and this close individual touch between the southern white man and the Negro that a mob is a different thing in the north or west from what it is in the south... I have noticed this fact in regard to mobs; in the north or west, the impulse to destroy property and to kill is directed against all Negroes regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent. In the south it is rare that the mob tries to do more than get hold of the individual Negro who is charged with crime. At its worst, the south does not seek to punish the entire race, and if an effort were made in any southern community to do so, each Negro would soon find a white friend who would protect him. In the north this individual acquaintance and friendship is largely lacking and so, when the mob tries to get the Negro, he does not know, in many cases, where to find his individual white friend, who will pro- The average man takes up so much time talking about his ambition that he has not time to realize it.—Atchinson Globe. Strength of Grindstones The strength of grindstones appears from recent tests to vary widely with the degree of its wetness or dryness, stones that are dry showing tensile strengths of from 146 to 186 pounds a square inch, but after soaking, over night breaking under stress of 80 to 116 pounds a square inch.

The bishop of Oporto is said to be the only Roman Catholic bishop in the world who wears a full beard. He was given permission to by the Pope because of the great work he has done in Africa.

"Were there many women in line?" "Not so very many, but they had to halt every time they approached a dry goods store." tect him. I am not saying this in order to excuse or justify mob violence in the south, but to point out that, in some respects at least, the industrious, honest and thrifty Negro is safer in the south than in the north. When we get down to the fundamentals we all must agree that the Negro could not have made the progress which he has made in the acquisition of property, in the getting of education, in the training of ministers and the building of churches unless he had been helped and encouraged and protected by the white people in the community where he lives. Negroes own at the present time something like 19,057,377 acres, or 30,000 square miles of land in the southern states alone. This is an area equal to that of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut combined. Negroes own or are paying for more than 375,000 homes. In 1866 Negroes in the southern states owned about $20,000,000, worth of property. Now they own close to $550,000,000 of land, buildings and other personal property. In Georgia where the comptroller's report shows by races the assessed value of the property of the state, Negroes owned in 1880 land and other taxable property to the amount of $5,764,293. In 1908 the Negroes of Georgia were assessed on property valued at $27,942,672, an increase in twenty-eight years of $21,278,379, of 370 per cent. During the same period,, the tax value of property held by whites has increased from $245,660,358 to $678,393,783, a gain of 175 per cent. In 1891 the Negroes of North Carolina listed $8,018,446 worth of property for taxation. Seventeen years later, in 1908, the tax value of Negro property amounted to $21,716,922, an increase of 171 per cent. In the meantime the white population had increased but 89 per cent. Negroes in Business. Forty years ago there were almost no Negroes engaged in business of any kind. At the present time there are at least 15,000 Negroes in the southern states engaged in operating dry goods and grocery stores and various other kinds of business. There are at present probably more than two hundred drug stores owned and operated by colored men. In the little city of Jackson, Miss., for instance, which in 1900 had a population of 7,816, of which 4,447 were colored, there were, according to an investigation made in 1908, more than one hundred business enterprises carried on by Negroes Of these, forty-four specially studied did an annual business of $383,000. Negroes in 1908 owned taxable property by the city of Jackson to the value of $381,581. One-half of the Negro families owned their own homes and two-thirds of the population lived in houses that were owned by colored people. Careful estimates, based upon reports of white bankers, indicated that Negroes had on deposit more than $200,000 in the different banks of the city. There are at the present time not less eighty-five colored insurance companies of various kinds doing business in the United States. Most of taese are local organizations whose operations are confined to a single city and contiguous territory. A considerable number of these, however, are national in character, and do business in all the southern states. In Mississippi, where these companies receive strict supervision and an accurate record of the amount of their business is preserved, there were forty-two societies which had certificates in force to the amount of $24,728,709. These societies during the year 1907, collected from their members $709,670, and paid over in losses $522,757,96. Up to 1900, when the first meeting of the National Negro Business PEARLS OF THOUGHT. They are loyal to truth who live it. The life of a saint is a living sermon. Courtesy always gives more than it costs. The only smile that helps rises in the heart. No nation is any greater or better than its homes. Success is an unreliable evidence of righteousness. People who make trouble always talk of their trials. True fruits, are not unwilling to be hidden by the leaves. He who makes no friends has his greatest foe in himself. More good men go to the bad in good times than in bad. The best way to fight sin is by being a friends to the sinner. You cannot tell much about the goal of life by its speed. He can never be a power with men who can feel not pity for men. The price of finding truth is being willing to pay anything for it. He who has no heroes is fundamentally deficient in reverence. Nothing is saved by selfishness. No man is good enough for heaven whose goodness does not make men happy. The greatness of any occasions depends on the man more than on the moment. The man who can be bought always thinks he cannot be caught by his buyer. He cannot make much of himself who thinks of making only the most of himself. It's not much use talking of loving folks unless your living makes their lives lighter. League was held in Boston, there were but two Negro banks in the United States. One of these was the True Reformers' bank, and the other was the Alabama Penny Savings and Loan Company, which was established in 1889. In all, there have been established something like fifty-seven Negro banks in the United States. Some of them have failed, others have gone out of business, so that, at the present time there are forty-nine Negro banks doing business in the United States. In 1906 there was formed at Atlanta, in connection with the National Negro Business League, a national Negro bankers' association, in which about half the banks in the United States are represented. While the capital of these banks is, for the most part, small, amounting only in the cases of the oldest banks to $100,000 each, the resources of Negro banks are rapidly increasing, as the habit of saving grows among the masses of the people. This much, the Negro has accomplished in the past; in the future he is going to make still greater progress. Facing the situation frankly there is a large element of white people in the south, who have never yet believed that it pays to educate the Negro. One of the consequences of this fact is that the success of Negro education in the south depends very largely upon the character of the Negro teacher. The Negro teacher and the educated Negro must show by the results of education that it does pay to educate the Negro. In proportion as the white man sees that the educated, skilled, respectable Negro is worth more to the community than the idle, shiftless Negro, in the same degree will the Negro make greater progress in the future than in the past, be of more value to himself and of more value to his white neighbors. The fact is, speaking of education in the average southern community, the Negro has never received enough education for anyone to be able to say whether it is successful or unsuccessful. I know one county in the south where this year the Negro child has had spent upon him for his education 42 cents from the public funds, while the white child in the same county has had spent upon him for his education $14. Now, I do not believe that a Negro can learn as much for 42 cents as a white can can learn for $14, and whenever people say, by their actions, that the Negro can get as much education for 42 cents as the white man can for $14 he pays too high a compliment to the natural intelligence of my race. Practical Education. I know perfectly well that there has been a lot of foolishness and a lot of nonsense connected with the subject of educating the Negro in the past, but just in the degree that the masses of our people learn—and they are fast learning this lesson—than education should make an individual a better farmer, a better mechanic, a better cook, a better chambermaid, a better laundress, a better school teacher, a better minister, in the same degree prejudice against educating the Negro disappear. Just in proportion as, year by year, the southern white people see the tremendous advantage that they have in the Negro as compared with any other class of laborers, and just in proportion as the Negro learns in the schools, and through contact with southern white men, to make better use of the opportunities he already possesses, all of the difficulties that now surround us are going to settle themselves in a logical way and a satisfactory manner. That is not merely my hope, but my confident prediction, based on a long and very careful study of the fact. New York is hard up and is selling its real estate.

PLACE—Across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, from whence Elijah was translated. Elijah's public life extended over not more than twenty years. The first fourteen were strenuous and heroic, with crises like thunderstorms. The Methodist minister, who was complained of for shouting so loud in his pulpit, replied: "I am not singing lullabies; I am blasting rocks." Elijah was blasting rocks. But, for the last six years since the vision of God, Elijah had been working more on the plan of the "still small voice." He had been training his successor Elisha, who was full of Elijah's spirit of religion, but manifested it in gentler ways. Elijah went with Elisha, as Paul took Mark with him on his first missionary journey. Elisha was Elijah's attendant and companion, student and friend. Of these years it is recorded only that the young man "ministered" to Elijah, "and poured water on his hands." And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee. Elijah Elisha and even the sons of the prophets, evidently knew that Elijah's de parture was at hand. Elijah's last journey was clearly laid out for him. Its object was two-fold; a natural desire on the part of the great leader to revisit the scenes so dear to him, and his purpose to fix upon his disciples' mind the principles and precepts he held most important. Last words are best remembered, and the sight of the sturdy old man still able to make on foot a journey of more than thirty miles, his kindling glances, his ringing voice, must have remained with them a precious memory, nerving them to greater boldness in the cause of Jehovah. And 50 sons of the prophets went and stood to view afar off. The abrupt heights behind the town commanded an extensive view of the river, the nearest bend of which was five miles away. With a delicate sense of propriety, the young men kept at a distance, but it was fitting they should be witnesses of the scene, to testify to Ellijah's favor with God and to the reality of immortality. For similar reasons the eleven witnessed the ascension of our Lord. Ellijah said: "Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee." So God asked Solomon at the beginning of his reign. This was Ellijah's last opportunity to do anything for his friend and successor, and he wanted to make an expression of him of his fatherly love. Eilisha's answer was: "Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me." There appeared a caiariot of fire and horses of fire. It was a glorious body guard; but Eilisha did not go up in a chariot, he went up by a whirlwind into heaven. The marvelous effects of electric light through prisms and fountains might give us some idea of the scene. It was in this ascent, as in the ascension of Christ, that his physical body was changed into a glorious spiritual body. And Eilisha saw it. The ascension of Eilisha, which was the sign given him by which he might know that he was to succeed to his master's office. PROHIBITION SNAPSHOTS. Seventy-one counties in Iowa have no saloons. A movement is now off foot for constitutional prohition. Sinners can be persuaded to reform and quit their meanness, but saloon keepers can only be made to forsake their evil ways by the force of the law. Ordinary John R. Wilkinson, whose duty it is to pass upon all insanity cases in Fulton county, Georgia, declares that there has been a steady decrease in lunacy cases since the passage of the state prohibition law of Georgia. In the year 1907, when liquor was sold, there were 104 cases in which persons were adjudged in sane in this county. In 1910 there were only 80 cases, and this in the face of a tremendous growth in population. Up to August, 1900, all of Idaho was saloon territory. Now the state is more than two-thirds dry, and 300,000 of its 350,000 population live in the dry parts. During the past year in a North Dakota town the local Woman's Christian Temperance union at a cost of $741 closed out a vile resort. New Jersey is rapidly approaching the "dry" stage. It now has 185 towns and townships that are dry. Berkeley, the location of the University of California, went dry recently. The near by city of Oakland wanted to be annexed, but Berkeley said; "No; not until you have closed the saloons." THAT AWFUL BACKACHE Cured by Lydia E.

The following are conclusions of an experiment carried on at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture to determine the quality of cheese as affected by rape and green forage plants fed to dairy cows: TREATMENT FOR LOCO. There are frequent inquiries regarding the best treatment for loco in horses and cattle. This condition among live stock on the ranges of the arid West has been a great mystery, and although much time and money Rape, if fed even in limited quantities to milking cows, is likely to impart to the milk a taint which will be imparted to the cheese and can not be eliminated. by any-art-known to the cheesemaker at the present time. Cheese made from rape-fed milk presents both offensive odors and tastes. The longer the period of feeding extended, the better the quality of the cheese produced with reference to flavor, indicating that the systems of the cows producing the milk tended to conform to the peculiarities of the feed and thus eliminate at least a porous, of the noxious flavors. The color of the product from the evening's milk where the feeding deer is done immediately after milking was of a decidedly improved quality over that from the evening's milk where the feeding was done shortly before milking. The body, texture, color and general make-up of tue cheese is not affected in any manner by the feeding of rape to milch cows for cheesemaking purposes. When cabbage was fed to milch cows, disagreeable flavors were always imparted to the cheese, and these bad flavors were intensified as the ripening advanced. Milk from cows fed exclusively upon green clover produced cheese having a low, flat flavor, which finally become sharp and repugnant. Green forage corn when fed to cows produced an excellent quality of milk for cheese. The cheese was of fine texture, with clean, high flavor at all stages of the ripening—Farmers and Drovers' Journal. CHURNING FOR BUTTER. Temperature is one of the many conditions which effect the churning of cream, and it is the most important factor to be taken into consideration during the churning process. Too high a temperature must be avoided, as it causes the butter to gather in soft, flaky humps. Butter churned this way generally shows up with a greasy body. The butter also retains a large amount of buttermilk, which is deleterious to the quality, as it can not be readily washed out. Too low a temperature is also undesirable, although it is better to have the temperature a little low rather than too high. If the churning temperature is too low, the cream becomes more viscous, and consequently it will stick to the sides of the churn, and rotate with it so that no churning will take place. No certain temperature can be given, as it will have to be varied according to the locality and seasons of the year, but at all times it should be low enough to insure a good body and a good, clean churning—Denver Field and Farm. SOILS FOR VARIOUS FRUITS. In selecting a site for the orchard it is perhaps natural to make the mistake of choosing a soil which is in reality too rich, and fat, for the best production of apples. On such soil conditions seem to exist which tend to a production of wood rather than fruit growth, thus defeating the object one has in view. Pears will produce fruit on rich, moist soils, while peach trees should be set on the thinnest soil on the place—Field and Farth. WELL_PRESERVED BUTTER. Thirteen years ago a Delaware farmer lowered two pounds of butter in a tightly covered bucket in a well to cool off. The string broke and the bucket went to the bottom. A few days ago the farmer was clearing out his well and found the bucket of butter sound and sweet as a nut. HAULING MANURE. Manure can be hauled and scattered over some portion of the farm every month in the year to good advantage. It is much better to leave it on the land than in the barnyard or in piles near the farm buildings. The manure's spreader is a wonderful help in lightening the work kof unloading and obtaining an even distribution over the soil. KEEP DUST OUT OF THE WHEELS.

For an all-round grain feed cats takes the bluo ribbon. TREATMENT FOR LOCO. There are frequent inquires regarding the best treatment for loco in horses and cattle. This condition among live stock on the ranges of the arid West has been a great mystery, and although much time and money have been spent in trying to determine its cause, and a remedy, it must be adulttled that no definite information regarding it has up to this time been obtained. That it is a specific condition associated with eating what is generally known among stockmen as loco weeds can not longer be denied, and this is about all we know concerning it. Its cause, like pelagia and cancer, is wrapped in profound mystery, and while it has never received attention at the hands of scientists, yet it has played its part before the scientists, footlights, for twenty years, and remains a mystery. Many theories have been advanced as to its cause, only to be cast aside after the scientific searchlight has been applied. The last claim it this respect was that a salt of barium had been discovered in the loco weeds and was the cause of the locoed condition, but it seems that barium is also found in other plants—so there you are. As to treatment for this disease apparently no drug has been found that has antidotal or remedial value. Potassium, iodide, strychnine and arsenic, is indicated, and may help some. If arsenic is to be tried, it may conveniently be given in the form of Fowler's solution, say from one-half to one ounce, mixed with the feed once a day. This drug should not be given for more than two weeks, then wait awhile. Note the symptoms of the animal carefully while giving the arsenic and do not carry the treatment too far. THE FREE SEED SYSTEM. It would be well if the farmers could be heard from on the question of sending out free seeds from congressman to the voters in their districts. Among the objections to the system is the great expense to the government for purchase of seeds, putting up, mailing, etc. There are about 8,000,000 packages sent out annually, or some 20,000 packages by each representative. Another objection is that the seeds are rarely of any account, and they are nothing rare or now, but such as can be bought at any grocery store. It was the intent when the law was first passed to use the amount appropriated in buying new and valuable seeds in foreign countries, which were, not to be had otherwise. It was a wise and worthy purpose in that early day when our seed establishments were few and small, but is entirely unnecessary now, when anything new and good abroad is quickly picked up and propagated by our enterprising seedsmen and put on the market. FOOD FOR HENS. To know what feeds are best suited to the laying hen, and to supply them it suitable quantities, is an important part of the poultry keeper's education. A perfectly balanced ration is one that supplies every element needed by the hen to keep her in perfect health. An over-supply of improper food will drain and weaken the system, as the hen must pass off all material of which she can make no use. No one feeding formula is best under all conditions, so there is the element of chance in feeding as in all other poultry operations, until one is fully sure of his ground, then chance is eliminated.—Farmers' Home Journal ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON FARMS. The introduction of tungsten lamps is doing much to advance the use of electricity on farms. It is possible for the farmer with a small plant, driven either by a gasoline engine or by damming a small stream, to obtain sufficient current to light his house and barn with this economical type of incandescent lamp. The use of electricity on the farm, by the way, is growing, and as pointed out by the Electrical, World farmers will in time come to consider electricity a necessity. Then it will be found profitable to establish central generating stations for farming districts to take the place of the small individual plants now being installed. A nervous hen cannot be relied on for a good setter. The chances are that she will get excited when the chicks come out and leave the nest prematurely. Now and then a ration of wheat bran is good to keep the bowels regular. Sheep are apt to get constipated in cold weather. Give as much laxative food as you can. Deal pretty sparingly with red pepper as a -spice for poultry. It is sharp stuff. Better warm your chicks up some other way than be feeding it to them. It is claimed that a single comb fowl fattens best. An English authority says he has found that a single comb fowl always grows fatter and plumper than any others. Don't put different kinds of eggs in the incubator at the same time. They will hatch out at different periods and bother you. Keep the hen eggs to themselves and put the goose eggs in at another time. Some are outside of the church, outside of the kingdom of God, out of Christ. The king of glory is not only a good king, but perfect in his administration—wise, just, kind and merciful; nevertheless some of His people have rebelled against his authority, repudiated his claims and owe, and proclaimed themselves and set up a little government of their kings and lords. We do not say that all those outside of the church are out of Christ; nor can we say that everyone who is in the church is in Christ. We must not judge. God is judge, and everyone may judge himself. Let each one see to it that his judgment of himself shall not conflict with the judgment of God; for his judgment is just. Many declare they are without. They know they do wrong, and do not try to do right. They are not ashamed of the evil they do. Others live on the border. They do not like the far country. Its atmosphere is not pleasing to them. Nor do they like the kingdom. They try to keep out of both. Jesus said to a certain scribe, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of heaven." Paul tells us to "walk" in wisdom toward them that afe without." This is not the only reason why Christians should walk in wisdom, but it is one powerful reason. He must never lose sight of them that are without. They are watching him, and they have claims on him. Much depends on the attitude of the church and of the individual Christian toward the outsider. For one thing, Christian men and women may silence the scoffs of the outsider by walking in wisdom. Some of them are scoffers. They say many foolish things against the church. They say they have no use for religion, because it does not make them better, because it is not a reality, but a fancy, or a cloak. They say they are no good people, but, Christians merely masquerading as saints. Paul says again: "By well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." The best answer to the sceptic and the scoffer is a holy life. There is no answer to that'argument. Bishop Simpson once put to silence a profane scoffer by asking him about his mother. He admitted that she was a Christian; a conscient, holy, unselfish woman. He had no more vile things to say after that. Many a scoffer may be silenced by a reference to the life of his mother. Everyone knows that there are good men and women. Their scoffs choke them when their attention is called to this fact. Christian men and women may win the outsider by walking in wisdom. We are told of a sceptic who lived for a season in the other world. The outsider does not want to hear about the other world. Let the Christian come down to the level of the outsider and meet him on his own ground, take an interest in him, in business, in his pleasures; everything that belongs to him. Walk as a man of the world and banish the atmosphere of the other world. Here is a delicate and infinitely important situation. We must be on our guard, for one may easily err by going to extreme either way. It is right, it is well, to take an interest in the outsider, to come in touch with him, to sympathe with him in all his affairs. But this is not the touch that will save him. This is not the spirit that will help him. He will never be touched in his inner life by worldly conversators or a wordly spirit. Only the man who walks as a Christian, the man who bears about with him the odors of Eden, the man whose face and spirit show plainly that he has been in the mount with God, will help the outsider. This is the light that he needs. Those who walk as pilgrims and strangers, going Chamois Maker is a Magician. Most everybody uses chamois and everybody imagines it comes from the graceful goals of the Swiss Alps. But it doesn't. It really hails from the gavernous depths of tanneries of Peabody in New England. Peabody tanners make beautiful leathers of sheep pelts. The chamois maker is a magician of the leather trade. To his loops he draws sheep skins from the great ranches of Montana, or their possible future rivals on the plains of Miberia, the pampus of Argentine, or the fields of Australia. Mary's little jamb masquerading as brave Swiss chamois, has a wonderful career. Habits of Animals. There are some animals which rarely drink; for instance, the llamas of Patagonia and certain gazelles of the Far East. A number of snakes, lizards and other reptiles live in places devoid of water. A bat of Western America inhabits waterless plains. In parts of Lozere, France, there are herds of cows and goats which hardly ever drink and yet produce the milk for Roquefort cheese. PROVERS AND PHRASES. home, will awaken the right kind of interest; we are to do good to our neighbors in the heart of the ungodly. If in this wicked world we must make it clear that we are acquainted with God and another world; the thing they are thirsting after is not of this world.

How to retain the original beautiful insider of his automobile is a question that interests every motorist, for the owner of a car is usually very finicky about its appearance. Some automobiles complain that the use of soap has resulted in the streaking and marring of the painted surface of their cars. Edward C. Huhn of Philadelphia, who has made a study of the subject of keeping motor cars in a perennial condition of newness, says that the paint on an automobile can be preserved indefinitely if the soap is dissolved and applied in semiplastic form instead of in its raw state. In large garage and autogmble concerns, where the washing of cars is an important part of each day's work, much unnecessary expense is incurred through a mistaken idea of the means required to get the lather to a proper consistency. Employees of these establishments as well as owners who wash their own cars act on the assumption that it is necessary to use a large piece of soap on a sponge to get the desired lather. Mr. Huhn suggests that a better and decidedly more economical method is to dissolve twenty pounds of soap in twenty-five gallons of water and to use this solution with water as occasion demands. He figures that a saving of 25 per cent. will result in the soap bills of these garages and automobile companies. BYE-BYE FOR A LITTLE WHILE (Dedicated to George W. Walker.)

Mobile, Ala.—(Special)—The colored bishops of the three Methodist churches got down in business in their separate meetings in big Zion church. The bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church opened with Bishop J. S. Calwell, of Phila telphid, presiding. This is an age of work," he said, and the man who fails to work will be left behind. No man can sit around and complain and expect the world to take him up. My race, like other races, must win its way up in civilization; and civilization is not a garment to be purchased at some store, but must be earned. After a song and prayer service, the journal was head by Bishop Alexander Walters, secretary of the council. President W. H. Gates, of Livingstone college, Salisbury, N. C., was in produced and took up education work of the church. "I ignorance is a curse, to any people," he said, "and we are striving to plive our ignorance, it can be done, and I rejoice over what we have been able to do along this line. Our boys and girls are struggling never before to get an education, and we are producing strong man and women who stand for something. "I don't believe that any race should sit down, and wait for another race to to for it what it should do for itself. We must first put forth an effort to educate our own children, to foster our educational institutions and then we will find a good number of white men and women who will help us. The white people north or south have been ready and willing to help worthy Nerou men and women." "HOOKWORM AND POOR WHITES." Newspaper Saye, Charge That Negro. Brought Worm to This Country is Untrue. Providence, R. I.—(Special.)—In an editorial on "That Hook Worm and the Poor Whites," the Daily Evening News writes: "While, there are many who refused to seriously consider the claim that there was such a thing as a hook worm, when it was first advanced, believing that some sympathetic and inventive genius had coloned the phrase in order to afford an excuse for the lazy poor whites of the South, still when the mutilated John D. Rockefeller gave a million dollars for investigation, eradication and prevention of the disease, interest in the subject grow." "Now comes a writer who, seeks to put upon the Negro the onus of bringing the worm with him. The writer evidently pays less attention to logic than he does to rhetoric. Otherwise he would not have stated at the outset than in 1752. Gozee, a German clergyman and zoologist, discovered what he called the half-round worm in the infestines of a badger, and that Proeclich, seven years later, discovered the same parasite in the intestines of a fox, and gave it the name "hook worm." Now Germany, is not the habitat of the Negro, nor is there anything in common, between the Negro and the badger and fox. These animals which gave the world the hook worm preferred Germany to Africa, it seems. But the writer, with these facts before him, insists upon concluding that it has been fairly assumed that in the beginning the Negroes brought the hook worm with them from Africa on the slave ships. As a matter of fact, the assumption is, not even fair to the writer, nor to the Germans nor the Negroes, where were man of German descent in ancient before there were Negroes, and there were foxes and badgers before either Germans or Negroes came. There were lazy white men in the South in 1607 who yied, with the indulgence, red man, and lacked, none of, that noble warrior's contempt for all topics of work. The hook worm in this most humatic condition is a dynamic efficiency, and strenuosity compared with many "poor whites" of this type, and would probably be a propelling force if not an inspiration to them.

Neatly Put The Duchess Dacazes, as all the world knows, was an Amsterdamite daughter of the enormously rich Singer family. The duchess was once taking part in some amateur theatricals at Ragax when a New York girl said to her mother: "Is she a real duchess?" "Yes, my dear," the mother, a Knickerbucket, answered. "Yes, real, but machine made." The Bubbity of Him. "John dear," said Mabel, as her lord and master entered the house, "I've just had a letter from mother, and she is coming to visit us.

Many babies 'have been unnounced into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mothers' milk. Mothers' children be too campful as to the food they use while nursing their babies. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not do with out it. But I found, at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain in my heart, in which was added, two years later, a chronicle of our stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago and almost from the beginning, it suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! In my distress I consulted a friend, of more experience, and she, fold me to quilt coffee, that coffee did not make good milk. I have since ascertained that it really dries up the milk. So, I quilt coffee and tried tea and atlast cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Portum with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not billy agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. buffand to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever made. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we even drank." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. to get the little book "The Road to Wellville," in pigs. There's a reason. I never read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of humane interest. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1911 At last the President has decided to appoint Attorney W. H. Lewis of Boston, as an Assistant Attorney General. For this appointment he is to be commended. Mr. Napier of Nashville will also get Mr. Vernon's place as Register of the Treasury. The displacement of Mr. Vernon will not be favorably received. It would have been far better, had the President given Mr. Napier another representative position and allowed Mr. Vernon to remain. Mrs. O'Connor, the wife of "Tay Pay" O'Connor, the great Irish leader, was a visitor in our city this week. This good lady went out of her way in order to "rap" the colored man by protesting the appointment of Mr. Lewis as Assistant Attorney General. While we know that the madam is a Southerner, but out of deference for the cause that her husband leads, she should be less prejudiced against the struggling ones of other races. There should be a coming together of the colored business men of this city. They are allowing golden opportunities to slip without taking advantage of them. The spirit of progressiveness is more rampant in Savannah now than before. This spirit the colored men of business should inculcate. The Greater Savannah Movement is in order and among ourselves the movement should be given an impetus. Let us organize. Let us have the people to know that we mean business and intend spreading out for more. This can be done by a coming together. Cast all personal feeling to the wind and act for all concerned. The disposition which Recorder Schwartz made of the twenty odd vagrants rounded up in the recent raids on the various pool rooms and other places of rendezvous for the idle in turning them over to a local business concern at the pay of one dollar and fifty cents per day a man instead of sentencing them to the Brown farm is a most commendable act and shows the proper spirit. This is perhaps the first time when a recorder of the police court has taken it upon himself to act the role of employment agent for his subjects on so large a scale and we feel grateful to Mr. Schwartz for assisting these vagrants to help themselves by finding profitable employment for them and we hope that they will not betray the trust thus bestowed upon them. It is a disgrace to us as a people and to our city to see so many idle ones of us infesting these dives and holding up the street corners when they should be employed at work and we welcome these raids and hope that they will not be so few and far between. The proposed spring recital of the Choral club, which it is hoped can be held in the Savannah Theatre, is going to be a pretentious affair if present plans are materialized and will be the greatest musical entertainment ever "pulled off" by our people. It is altogether fitting that the Choral club put forth every effort to have this affair in Savannah theater for it is the only place which our people can secure with the necessary acoustics and proper seating capacity for such an elaborate and high class entertainment as this will doubtless be. And in order that the famous artist whom they have engaged for this occasion may show to her best advantage we as staunch admirers of the Choral club should like to see this affair held on a large scale. But to do this there are two things essential and they are that in order to do themselves justice and show the proper respect for Madam Anita Patti Brown's ability as probably the race's leading soprano, the club will have to lose no time in rehearsing and must bend every effort to get the citizenship at large interested in this proposed entertainment. Of the many unnecessary and annoying customs which are contributing to the detriment of our city and which are needful of immediate attention there is none which is more extant than that of brass band funerals. There is probably no city of equal size in the country which has so many hand funerals as we do and the reason for such uncalled for demonstration on such solemn occasions cannot be imagined. The time was some years ago when the colored state militia was in existence that there was a just and good cause for such a display at funerals but since we now have no such organizations among us the need of a brass band at funerals is very much unwarranted and preposterous. It is hardly necessary for us to call attention to the evils accompanying such demonstrations as occur on our streets whenever a band funeral takes place for they are so evident that they can be seen by the most unobserving ones of us but in order that we may lend a little encouragement to the efforts on the part of the minsters who are members of the Evangelical Union and who listened to and endorsed so unanimously last week a paper bearing on this subject we feel that a word or two on the matter would not be amiss and we offer congratulations to them for the stand they have taken against these demonstrations. It is a fact beyond contradiction that it is impossible to prohibit the rabble and street urchins from following such processions for they are solely attracted by the sound of music and will follow with ever increasing numbers as street after street is reached until the whole procession instead of having the appearance of a funeral looks like a mob of uncivilized beings running wild and dancing to the air of some jungle tune. It is not through sympathy which these stragglers follow such processions but merely and simply because of the fact that they find pleasure and delight in listening to the strains of the accompanying band and they go along unmindful of the solemn and sad occasion for which the music was engaged. This is a most thoroughly abused habit in Savannah and every one of us should discourage such demonstrations and do all in our power to help the ministers wipe out this evil. Instead of decreasing since the mustering out of the colored militia they have increased until now it has become a common thing to see as many as two such funerals in one afternoon. There is great need for reformation in this direction and with a little concerted action on the part of all of the ministers against this evil it would not take long for public opinion to call for a cessation of such customs. And incidentally the Ministers may also consider the shortening of the funeral services. It is a hardship on the family and friends to prolong this ceremony longer than one hour. May there not be a reform alas in this respect! Mass Meeting to Boost Registration. At the meeting of the Republican County Committee it was decided to call a monster mass meeting in order to create interest among the voters and non-voters in favor of registration. A committee of one from each militia district was appointed to arrange for the meeting. It was decided it should be held on Tuesday night, March 21, at 8 o'clock at the Harris Street Hall. Prominent speakers will be present. Each person interested in the registration of voters, especially the young men are asked to be present. This Young Minister And Editor Should Be Candid With His Readers. Editor of The Tribune:-Please allow me space to call attention of the editor of The Christian Recorder, the great organ of the A.M.E. Church to the misleading article published in that paper about the recent farmers' conference held at the State College. He said in his article that "Last week it was our pleasure to visit the Thirteenth Annual Farmers' Conference at the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga., where our father, Major R. R. Wright, presides. We never before witnessed such a sight or heard such experiences. Fully three thousand people were present, and a large proportion of them bona fide farmers." Those who attended the conference will refute the account as relates to the number in attendance unless the editor becomes confused whenever he sees a small number of persons. It is reported that less than a hundred farmers were in attendance. The largest gathering was on the last night of the conference, when a number of visitors from the city were present. Even at that time the student body represented about two-thirds of the attendants. This is not written in the spirit of harming the conference, which it is felt, has done much good, but love for truth will not permit me to allow this young preacher-editor to make such extravagant reports. He should beware, or else the reading public will refrain from taking him seriously and look askance at his future articles. Love for Truth. St. Mary's Dots. Mr. Editor: Will you please allow St. Mary's a small space in your paper? It has been sometime since Early Riser has risen early enough to get an article in the paper, and Meddler got tired of meddling so a subscriber thought to make a few remarks this week. Mrs. Baker, Mrs. J. W. Sweet and little baby Sweet of Colesburg, spent Saturday and Sunday here visiting friends. Mrs. S. A. Hopkins of Brunswick, is here visiting her sister Mrs. Myers. Mrs. R. Marshall of Tompkins, Ga., spent the day here visiting her son and Mr. H. Marshall and family. Mrs. S. Saunders has returned to her home in Jacksonville, after spending two months here with her sick brother Mr. L. Williams who died Sunday last. We extend to the bereaved family our sympathy. It is sad to say on Saturday morning between 3 and 4 o'clock the Mt. Pisgan Baptist Church was destroyed by fire. Everything was a lost as it was not insured. It was a shock to all. The Masons are preparing for a new hall, to be completed by April; and they are making new members, their goat keeps busy. Also the Good Samaritans are adding new members. They initiated a class of 10 on last Friday night and there is another class for the next meeting. Push on St. Luke 46 hold high the banner. Commendation. Communication. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to commend Mr. Henri Brown on his eloquent speech made at 'Gaines Chapel A. M. E. Church February 19th in the A. C. E. Union League meeting. Those who heard Mr. Brown's speech enjoyed it to the highest and feel that they cannot say enough about it; we feel very grateful to Mr. Brown and must say that his talk put new inspiration in the members of the league, and that we need this courageous young man always. Press onward Mr. Brown. Little by little we reach the goal. We feel greatly obligated to you and thank you most heartily for your encouraging talk and we hope that you will not forget us as we need such young men as you to carry on the works of the Lord. E. B. Brown A Big Magazine Consolidation. Through an amalgamation just effected, three well-established and well-known publications are hereafter to be published by one Company, although no change in the policy or personnel of editorial management is to take place. The Crowell Publishing Company, owners of Woman's Home Companion and Farm and Fireside, takes over The American Magazine and will publish it in conjunction with its other two publications. Mr. George H. Hazenzi President of The Crowell Publishing Company; Mr. H. J. Fisher is General Manager. The editors of The American Magazine who have been with the Phillips Publishing Company will continue both as editors of and exclusive writers for The Crowell Company. The group consists of John S. Phillips, Editor-in-Chief, who now becomes an officer and director of The Crowell Publishing Company; Ida M. Tarbell, E. P. Dunne, creator of "Mr. Dooley"; Ray Stannard Baker; Albert A. Boyden and John M. Siddall. Mr. William Allen White and other writers who have been closely allied with The American Magazine will continue as contributors. The three publications in quite distinct fields are at the highest point of success yet attained. The Woman's Home Companion, which occupies a powerful position in the woman's field and whose growth has been pheno-nenal, is edited by Gertrude B. Lane and numbers on its staff Hayden Carruth, Grace M. Gould and Sophie Kehr Underwood. Farm and Fireside, edited by Herbert Quick, formerly of Sioux City, Iowa an agricultural paper of high quality and wide national circulation which is the leading exponent of up-to-date agricultural methods. This amalgamation will make for increased efficiency and influence in the case of all three of these publications. IN HIS KOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. B. B. Church. The weather on Sunday was ideal, and judging from the exceedingly large crowd present at each service, everybody tried to fill their seats. Many visiting ministers, deacons and members attended our communion. At night the seating capacity of the church was taxed and the ushers were kept busy seating the large crowd. The honored guest was the "Imperial Aid and Social Club." Rev. Wright read for the lesson Cor. 5:1-19. The secretary read the club history, "Almost Persuaded" was sweetly sung by a male quartette of the club. Rev. Wright's greeting to the club was very jovial and sounded like a father instructing his children. His text was from 2 Cor. 5:1. The subject was "Earthly and Heavenly Tabernacles." He described fully the two tabernacles and drew a beautiful lesson of faith and prayer by which we inherit the heavenly home. It was quite evident that all enjoyed the service the choir sang "Far Away." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Sight." Unable to resist his earnest pleading a very large crowd bowed at the mercy seat. He offered a soul stirring prayer. The club donated very liberally to the church, pastor, choir, sexton and even to a brother in distress. The B. Y. P. U. meets every Sunday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. The exercises are very interesting. The Tuesday night prayer meetings are just what you would enjoy, so come at any time. St. Phillips Dots. St. Philips Dots. Rev. R. H. Singleton preached at the morning and evening services. Large crowds were out at each service. At 11 a. m., Rev. Singleton's text was Matt. 17.8. "And when they had lifted up their eyes they saw no man save Jesus only," subject, "His transfiguration." No better sermon has ever been heard at St. Philip. He kept his hearers spell bound for more than an hour. The installation of the stewardess board, officers and the officers of the choir was held on Tuesday night after class meeting. Another record class meeting on Tuesday night although some of the classes were poorly attended. We are glad to note that quite a number of our young men are being assigned to classes as assistant class leaders. Bros. Van, Norman, Harris and others were appointed on Tuesday night. Death has again invaded our ranks. Bro. John H. Baldwin, ex-superintendent of St. Philips Sunday school and an old member of St. Philips passed away on Tuesday morning March 1, at 8 o'clock. He had filled the position as superintendent of our Sunday school for a good many years and was one of the best in the city. "He had only recently resigned from that position. He was buried from St. Philip on Thursday at 4 p. m. The following services will be held on tomorrow: Prayer meeting at 5:30 a.m. m., preaching at 11 a.m. b baptism of children and adults, the right hand of fellowship and the reception of members; Sunday school at 2:45 p. m., communion at 4 p. m., prayer and praise service at 7:45 p. m., preaching and the continuation of the communion at 8:15 p. m.; league meeting at 8:30 p. m.

The Gospel of the Sunday is "Jesus is Fasting in the Desert and is tempted by Satan." Matt. IV. Special sermons will be preached on the Snnday morning during Lent. That the Catholics intend to spend well the Holy season, was shown by the large congregations which attended the services on Ash Wednesday. Father Charles of the Sacred Heart College, gave an impressive sermon on the way of spending Lent; his fatherly words went to the hearts of the people. Every Wednesday evening, special discourses will be given on the great dogmatic and moral truths of the Catholics Faith; it is expected that those services will be well attended. On Fridays we have the beautiful devotions of the Stations of the Cross, which consists in reviewing in our minds and hearts the sad events which happened to our Saviour, when He carried His Cross to Calvary Hill, Next Sunday the children of May will receive Holy Communion; after High Mass the monthly meeting of the Catholic Boys Club will take place. At the meeting of the Catholic Mutual Aid, it was unanimously voted that the generous donations of twenty dollars would be given to the pastor towards the defraying of the expenses, by the installation of the Electric Light.

Dear noble friend alas! good bye, No more we meet below, Where thou hast gone we follow on, And love thee as before. Thy life was given to bless a race, Down troddened and oppressed, And now for thee shall ever be, A day of endless rest. Let flowers be grown upon thy grave, And give their sweet perfume, If we could gladly we would, Make a palace of thy tomb. Broad would we build it, And as high as thy lofty mind, Whife as thy soul should men behold Its sparkling beauty shine. But is there need that we should mourn Or build such pile for thee? Thou gavest all, and duty call For life long thanks to thee. For years shall pass and ages come, And find in Time's hard sand Thy foot prints still, and then it will, Be said "There went a noble man." But if the world should ere forget, The lesson thou hast taught; Still we shall know who loved thee so How faithfully wrought. Farewell, kind friend, No not goodbye, Beyond the vale of strife. At Jesus' feet, we all shall meet, In perfect love and life. Sadie G. Allen. "The following resolutions were presented by a committee of citizens in memory of Prof. B. W. Weld: "What we have done for ourselves alone, dies with us; what we have done for others and the world, remains and is immortal." Whereas, God has seen proper to take from among us PROF. B. W. WELD, whose death occurred Wednesday, evening, February, 22, 1911. And Whereas, About four years ago PROF. WELD came as Principal of Beach Institute, a gentleman in the full vigor of life and enthusiastic in the prospects of continuing and improving the work so well established by those who have done so much for the uplift of the Colored people of the South. He carried his enthusiasm in'o his work and succeeded in increasing the interest of many of the friends of the Institute who rallied to its support. Whereas, PROF. WELD was congenial and well fitted for the work in which he made great sacrifice and gave his life. He cultivated the friendship of a large number of our citizens and was held in esteem by them, and who noted his labors at Beach with keen interest, and his inauguration of the new departments which proved him to be of a progressive mind. Be it Resolved. That his death is deeply regretted by all classes of citizens, and his memory will be ever revered. Resolved. That as citizens we extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones, and admonish his surviving coworkers to continue the work that he has so nobly inaugurated and fostered as a memorial to his efforts. Resolved. That these resolutions be presented to the bereaved family and a copy of the same be printed in The Savannah Tribune. And may we feel that "among the clouds that darken our lives none other is so black as the shadow of death, that but for the bow of promise, would utterly obscure the light and envelope us in hopeless despondency. But 'twilight and evening bells' are always followed by dawn and revelie. The shades of evening always deepen into night, but obscurity of night dissolves into dawn and brightens into day, and so we need not doubt that the darkness which attends the cessation of bodily life, and which seems so absolutely without a ray of mortal or spiritual illumination will be dissipated by a Celestial Light that will transform it into a halo of glory.

It has been many a day since Savannah has seen such an enthusiastic demonstration as was that of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows which took place on Wednesday afternoon when about four hundred loyal and ardent members of the order headed by a brass band marched from their hall to Duffy street to the First African Baptist Church where they assembled an celebration of the founding of the order among Negroes in America by Peter OgJen. It was a most inspiring meeting and was attended by a large and appreciative audience. The principal speaker of the afternoon was the honorable Benjamin Jefferson Davis of Atlanta and his address was full of wholesome and much needed advice. Among the many things touched upon by the speaker was the rally which the Odd Fellows in Georgia making in order to secure $50,000 by second Sunday in May to erect a new and magnificent building in Atlanta to the general home office of the order in Georgia. The celebration was continued at night when a ball was given at Harris street hall which concluded the Peter Ogden Day festivities. Twenty-first Anniversary of the H.R. Rivers & Co. Company A., U. R., K. of P. Amid a host of invited guests and staunch admirers, Company A (Feay) Knights of Pythias celebrated their twenty-first anniversary at Mechanics Hall, on last Tuesday night. It was a very distinguished gathering and the members of this celebrated company, with their friends, enjoyed a most delightful evening. The hall was beautifully decorated with bunting, American flags and other ornaments, and it afforded a most pleasing and attractive appearance. The many ladies who attended this affair were all very becoming dressed. Dancing was indulged in to a late hour, after which guests and members partook of a very sumptuous and appetizing repast spread upon beautifully decorated tables Madam Anita Patti Brown. Savannahians were treated to a musical recital on Monday night at the Second Baptist Church such as has been heard here but once before and that was upon the occasion of the previous visit of this celebrated vocalist, Madam Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, who was with us last year and whose performance then was the talk of the town for months afterwards. Madam Brown on last Monday night not only lived up to the high reputation which she made in Savannah during her former recital but she even surpassed our expectations and gave by all means the most finished and thorough recital ever heard in our city. Her repertoire of songs was the best and most pleasing ever heard here and her return to Savannah this spring will be looked for with much anticipation. Madam Brown was accompanied by one of Chicago's most accomplished pianists, Mrs. Dr. Jors.

Between these cities of past and These fruits, which may well be present lies the mystic city of the described as hard-shelled oranges, are pure, with its great cloud walls from three to five inches in diameter. These fruits, which may well be described as hard-shelled oranges, are from three to five inches in diameter. The shell is very hard and from a quarter to half an inch in thickness. The top is formed of one of the fruits from which the interior has been removed, together with a round stick about half an inch in diameter and eight inches in length. The stick passes through the center of the fruit, projecting only on one side. A hole is also cut in the side of the fruit, so that the top produces a musical sound when spinning rapidly. The whip by means of which the top is kept in the air consists of a stalk about one foot in length to which a sting about 18 inches long made from the fibre of the wine palm is tied as a lash. The method of starting the top is as follows: The lash of the whip is wound around the body of the top making a little more than one turn. The top is then placed on the ground with the stem to one side. The whip is given a quick upward motion, throwing the top into the air, at the same time imparting to it a spinning motion. As the top drops within reach, but before it touches the ground it is struck with the whip in such a manner that the lash winds around the stem close to the head. Skilled performers have no difficulty in keeping the top in the air for any length of time desired. The performance is varied by catching the top on the stock of the whip and slowly tilting it until the end of the stick rests on the ground, where it spins for some time like an ordinary top. From this position, while still spinning, the top can again be thrown into the air by the whip and the whole operation repeated. As soon as the top is fairly started it begins to emit a musical note, low at first, but gradually increasing in volume as the top revolves more rapidly, until the speed is so great that the sound ceases, recurring as soon as the top slows down. The sound produced by this top is believed by the Golahs to be distasteful to the ground hogs, which often do considerable damage to cultivated fields. This means of driving away pests is considered so effective that men able to perform with this top are in great demand, and are often called a distance of two or three days' travel to rid fields of these pests.—G. N. Collins in Strand. WASTED. OPPORTUNITIES. is knocking, and will soon pass on. Awake! men and women! Put on your strength, and take advantage of these precious golden opportunities as they come eagerly to you. The mail service is another vast field in which the Negro has a chance to prove himself a man. You must learn the art of money getting by honest labor, and the art of money saving by using common sense. For our girls, there are numerous arts, trades, professions in which the great number of light and giddy ones who are killing the goose that laid the golden egg could be valuably employed making money with ease and pleasure, but the trouble is, they haven't enough energy to prepare themselves and be ready to meet them. If we should tell them that some Pullman porter, dude or sport was going to call at 11 o'clock their liner if the old daly was not able to cook, for she would certainly prepare herself to meet that guest.

The race problem is not one problem. It differs not only in time, but in place. Therefore I always go to different groups of colored people in this land with much of interest and curiosity, knowing that each will present its peculiar phase of relationship between the white and colored group. growing city till the group scared itself and awoke and said: "We are a part of Toledo—you may not forget us." So now slowly comes the push forward and "I will!" In Oberlin there are nearly two thousand young folk at study and at play. Working and playing beside them are nondred colored boys and girls, and they all walk on sacred ground, on ground long since consecrated to racial equality and hatred of caste and slavery. Yet among these venerable ideals obtrudes the present and it, with all its odd corners, must be bullied into the future city. The present holds not only the problem, of the treatment of ten million black folk elsewhere, but of the hundred colored boys and girls right there in Oberlin. It presents a tremendous moral dilemma to frank young soul. When these children came from antislavery homes they found it easy and natural to treat black men as men. But coming now from a world that thinks God made a big mistake in ever creating black folk—coming from such social teaching, they hesitate. Once in a white a black student (or rather a yellow one) may be elected a society, but usually no desert in character or scholarship avails. Let this fact brings no mental peace or moral satisfaction. The spirit of democracy is strong, the influence of the faculty is righteous, and I came from a young, earnest conference with these young folk with a sense of seeing a mighty battle for righteousness, and I believe that somehow, sometime, justice would prevail. But after all it was the men I met that meant most. Could I introduce them? Let me see. There was the young lawyer who burned to awaken a sleeping city, to its quites and rights; there was the brown physician who is one of the leading surgeons in the city, and this finds no color ling. Then the girl who ran a political campaign last month had a father who was director in a white bank and the soldier the solid business men of the town in their parlor gathered a brown matter, a yellow mother, the white pastor and the white girl chum—but what should we catalog the colors of their skins and not, those of their clothes? In Oberlin the chief book store is "colored," and the chief paper-hanger and the caief building contractor. "Elsewhere I sat with the man who had just been elected a member of the reading white city club Too many rare opportunities at the fingers' ends of our young men and women are slipping away from them because of our carelessness and indifference. Whether this is totally true or not, opportunity does not delay, but knocks gently at every minute door. If you are prepared all right, if not, he passes on to the next prepared man or woman. There is no time for waiting, if you are not ready, you are left; that's all. We wish to call the attention of our young people to a few of the many opportunities which are presenting themselves to them every day. There is the business field in Richmond perfectly ripe and ready for harvest. There are common people.

SOUTH AMERICA SAID TO AN INVITING FIELD IS OPENED TO THE ASPIRING COLORED MAN AND WOMAN. LINES FORGOTTEN No Invidious Class, Distributions are Found in South America. Baltimore, 3rd—Special That South America offers an inviting field to the aspiring colored man who is desirous of escaping the invidious class distinctions of this country is the opinion of Rev. Dr. Scipio Newton, a highly educated native of the Argentine Republic, who is in this country on a lectureing tour. He discussed interestingly the condition of the people of Negro extraction in South America, saying that racial distinctions did not keep any man in the back grounds there and that some of the most influential men south of the Isthmus of Panama were colored. "In Argentina racial lines are forgotten in legislation, the professions and in business matters, the peculiar prejudice rampant in this country being unknown. One of the title most influential men in the Argentine Senate, Gonzales Villagas, is colored. He is a former member of the cabinet, an orator of commanding ability, and an authority on international questions and the really dominant force in the Senate. Like most of the prominent men of that country, he was educated abroad, and speaks English, Spanish and French fluently. In short, he is the leading member of the Liberal party now in control there. Pedro Alcarta, another colored man, is chief judge of one of the circuit courts, and the president of Argentina, Alcarta, also has a strain of Negro blood in his veins. Some of the most prominent physicians are colored men, and the biggest sleuthing stores are run by colored men. Colored men are members of the faculties of the leading schools and everywhere you see evidences of the doctrine of the brotherhood of man." Speaking of conditions in this country, he said he noticed with regard the jim-crow spirit, but that he had been agreeably surprised with the great progress made by the race. He, incidentally, praised the religious in fluences in Baltimore by saying that he had nowhere noticed, in any city, expect Baltimore, that Sunday-school had two sessions on the sabbath day Turning 'interviewer', he asked: "How many daily papers do the colored people run, in this country?" He was told to his surprise that the colored people only published weekly papers, Doctor Newton was educated in England, receiving the degree, of doctor of common law from the University of Cambridge in 1895. In appearance he is not much unlike portraits representing leading colored men of ante-bellum days. He speaks English with scarcely an accent, and during the nine months he has been in the United States he has thoroughly informed himself on conditions here. Cohen to Hold on to Job.

President Taft personally assured Mr. Cohen over a year ago that there would be no change in his place. NEGRO SCHOOLS IN THE HOUSE. Over a Billion Dollars Has Been Spent on Negro Education. Since the Year 1821. The work being done by the South for Negro schools is indicated in the fact that of $1,000,000,000,吉他 upon common schools in the 16 former slave States and the District of Columbia since 1871 at Jepson $185,000,000 have been spent upon common schools for Negroes. In that territory, the common school enrolment, increased, from 2,013,684 philes and 685,942 Negroes in 1870-71, to 4,692,927 Whites and 155,731 Negroes in 1907-08. In 1800 there were, in the public schools of the South, 781,199 pupils out of a total of 4,955,894 in the United States, and the income of these public schools in the South was $474,370 out of a total of $548,519 in the United States. The popularity of the academy and other private schools at that time in the South was one of the influences against the spread of the common school idea those in that An old maid is a mess to pour a bachelor gift, refrigerated ginger.

Northern, has written the following open letter, indorsement of the "Black Mammy, Memorial," which it is proposed to build in this city: "I approve, most heartily, the purposes and the plans, proposed for the conduct of the Black Mammy Memorial institute, both as a worthy tribute to the deserving mammies that made the generation before the civil war, and as a promising training school for the younger Negroes, of this day, who desire to make themselves useful in our community life. "Organized, as this institution is, in one of the most cultured, communities in the state, and supervised and directed by leading citizens of its locality and the state-at-large, I can but believe the work adjustment of the relations of the race is just." "These two people—white folks and Negroes—whether through individual preference or force of circumstance, must dwell together in the same community life, many generations, yet come, and the peace and prosperity enhanced if they can become mutually helpful through proper service rendered on the part of both. "Iam quiffed sure that the best white people at the South are fully ready to hold wide open for the Negroes, all economic and industrial opportunities that the Negroes make; themselves fitted to fill. It is equally gratifying to see the disposition on the part of the leaders among the Negroes to have their people made capable, efficient and trustworthy for useful service. "Neither race can adjust these relations alone, but both together, in cooperation, can. The white people are quite as much concerned in the issues at stake as the Negroes can possibly be, and I hope to see the institution worthily supported by contributions from the generous people at the South." WORKING THE PENSION GAME. Believed in Washington,'D.'C., That Ex-Slaves Are Being Cheated in Parts of Alabama. Washington,—(Special.)—In the belief that the old exstave pension game again making its play throughout the south, Representative Helfin of Alabama requested the department of justice to investigate. Mr. Helfin received from M. A. Warren of Tusseygee, Ala., a copy of a circular that Warren informed him, was being circulated among Negroes. The circular bears the name of a Negro who styles himself "general agent." He is said to be a Negro who last year succeeded in collecting 23 cents a piece monthly from other members of his race. This year, his circular states, the fee for "widows and children" to organize will be $5.00. The circular is dated. Tuskegee, Ala., December 13, 1910, and 1911, and states that he has authority from Washington "from Mr. W. H. Willis to send in the claims of the ex-slaves of The Mullidy.

That association had offices in Washington, with branches in various parts of the country, organized as "lodges" WASHINGTON WAS POPULAR. Real Educator Had a Hard Time Chicago. (Special) - During a recent visit to this city in which it is recorded that he made eight speeches in fourteen hours, it is said that a number of stalwart police officers were called in to quiet a threatening riot of about two, four and white, and colored persons who were trying to gain admission to Ordentra hall, which were crowded. When Doctor Washington appeared at the outer edge of the crowd, one of the officers, was informed of his presence and requested to open the way, so that Booker T. Washington might pass through to the door, there upon the officer replied: 'Not on your life.' We have opened up the way for eight Booker T. Washington already. It was necessary, for President Barnes of the, Men's Sunday, club to come out, and identify the ninth Booker T. before admission was gained by the prominent speaker. Reformatoly for Boys Montgomery, Ala.—(Special.)—A bill has been introduced into the Alabama legislature, to appropriate $10,000 to ward maintaining a reformatory in this state for Negro boys. The institution has already been organized, and has begun operation for three or four years. The prison has been bought and paid for by the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Alabama. The state legislature is now asked to take charge of this institution and provide for the annual expenses.

Ellen Terry's Joke. When, Ellen Terry was presented with a Founders' gold medal at the New theater, New York, recently—an honor conferred in recognition of her great services to artistic art—she was called upon to make a speech of acceptance. It so happened that the actress was exceedingly honour and she was therefore forced to, cut her remarks short. So she told this story: "A friend of mine once bought a parrot and gave much money for it with the understanding that it could speak fluently, but when he reached home with it he found" to his dismay that the bird was dumb. So he took it back. 'This parrot cannot say a word,' he said indignantly to the bird fancier. 'It can't talk at all.' 'Talk! the dear exclamation.' 'Come to think of it, I know it can't, but it's a devil to think.' Advantages. "You must have found the arctic circle very unpleasant." "Yes," replied the arctic explorer; "but it has its advantages.

There is no sense in giving it a pill or a remedy containing an opiate, nor is fussing of the bowels to be always recommended.

The wife of a prominent Unitarian clergyman is still wondering what her cook meant. She was a new cook, and there was every reason to believe she was a good cook. At any rate, she had unquestionably served in good families, and she brought the best of references. Nevertheless, her new mistress did not hesitate to give her a few instructions. "One thing I want you to remember, Nellie," said she, "is the way we like our oatmeal. Don't leave it watery. But we don't like it hard and dry, either."

Certain characteristics or traits lying dormant in his nature are brought to the front by the injudicious treatment of the wife, and when once they are in evidence it is only a matter of time and practice for them to become extensively developed and displayed on every occasion. It is easy to spoil a husband, but extremely difficult to "unspoil him." The process is gradual—begun during the courtship, continued during the honeymoon and consummated during the first year of matrimony. He was jealous, so you did not dance with other men. He hated tennis so you resigned from the club. Now he plays golf while you mope at home. So it goes on. The most comfortable armchair is reserved for father. "Do not make a noise, children," says the little mother, "you'll wake your father." He is just setting off to business when he remembers his glasses are upstairs. 'I'll fetch them, dear,' says his devoted little wife, and forthwith rushes to search for the missing article. A sequence of this sort of service would spoil any husband and make him selfish, thoughtless and grasping, despite himself. Even worse than the foregoing is the husband who is asked to give way too much when even the children feel that their father is, so to speak, one of them, and "in the same boat," and are happiest when their fellow-sufferer contrives to elude the tyrant and join in some stolen pleasure. ROMAN PUNCH. Put a pint of water and the same amount of granulated sugar in the saucepan over the fire. Let them boil twenty minutes. Then add two oranges and one pint weak green tea. Take the pan from the fire and set where the contents will become cold. Beat the whites of four eggs to a stir froth. Took together half a cup of sugar and half a cup of water, and when it has boiled five minutes pour in a thin thread-like stream over the whites, beating all the time. When the first mixture becomes cold, freeze like ice cream. When ready for the dasher to be removed pour in the second mixture of the whites and syrup, a gill of sherry and two tablespoonfuls Jamaica rum. Turn the dasher enough to mix them, then remove, cover the freezer closely and nepack with ice and salt for two or three hours, until ready to serve. LEAKY HOT WATER BOTTLE. Do not discard your hot water bottle when it begins leaking. It can be made useful and will give good service when filled with sand or salt. Heat whichever is used very hot, in a skillet, and pour into the water bottle through a funnel, filling quite full. Immediately place the stopper in and apply as you would hot water. Both salt and sand will hold heat as long as water, and will give exactly the same service. HICKORY·NUT ICE CREAM. Pound one pound of shelled hickory nut meat in a mortar until they are a fine paste; add them to a quart of cream and set one side while you prepare a custard made from a pint of milk, three eggs and a cup of sugar; keep stirring until it thickens, so that it will not curdle; take from the fire, add another cup of sugar, and set where it will cool; when quite cold all the cream with the hickory nut meats, then freeze. LAUNDRY HINTS. If your table linen is of extra good quality it does not need starching, for a gloss may be imparted by wringing it out in boiling water and ironing while still damp. By ironing on the right side of a tablecloth or napkin a high gloss is obtained, and by ironing on the wrong side the design is brought out more clearly. After ironing in the latter fashion, however, it is wise to turn the cloth and iron lightly on the right side. The removal of stains from linen is the most troublesome of all laundry tasks. Tea and coffee stains can be obliterated by stretching the stained part flat on a table, wetting it with cold water and then rubbing with equal parts of glycerine and lukewarm water. Fruit stains must be treated with boiling water while still fresh. Salt has long been considered the antidote for wine stains; keep on rubbing with the salt until the stain disappears. If the stain is tenacious stretch the part affected over a bowl and pour boiling water upon it. Once a stain is removed the linen needs but little rubbing. Simply soap it thoroughly, soak and rub on a board in hot suds. It should then be rinsed well and washed in a thin bluing water. A bosom board for fine shirts ought to be very smooth and but thingly covered. Some laudresses use a marble board, but these cost quite a stum. Coifures are going back to the Greek fashion. Sleeves show more fullness at the top and less length. ```markdown ``` HATPINS AND HAIRPINS. The hatpin box may be fashioned from a glove box. It is covered outside with ribbon and lace and artificial flowers (padding with sachet-sprinkled cotton is a pretty touch) and the bottom of the box inside is divided into compartments either by wire spiral fastened into it or by velvet?covered cardboard divisions like those in boxes for silverware Hairpins also have their cushions nowadays. They are very much like small, round pincushions, and so any variety of style is permissible. The novelty, however, consists in the cushion tops, which may be of light burlap, net or a kindred wide-mesured material (one I saw recently was really a wire strainer over thin silk, with its binding concealed by a lace ruffle); and in the stuffing, which must be very loose and yet compact, bran or cotton waste is best. Finally there is the crocheted hairpin holder, consisting of many crocheted loops, in the style of children's horse reins, on which the hairpins are hung. One pretty holder of the sort shows a doll's head for the top. A pink ribbon bow is tied under her chin to fasten her face cap and incidentally to conceal the fastening also of the dozen or so long loops cf pink crochet yarn. CANNED CHICKEN. The most helpful discovery to me in recent years, was in finding I could can chicken or other poultry. As our family is small, we often tire of a fowl before it can all be eaten. When the chicken is stewed, what remains after the meal, is returned to the kettle, and if necessary more water and seasoning is added. Bring to a bowl, put in glass jars and seal as fruit. Should company arrive unexpectedly, it will make good soup and the meat can be chopped and form the basis of a delicious chicken salad. If you add milk or tomatoes to the soup, and thus make more than you require, the remainder can again be canned. SMITH COLLEGE FUDGE Melt a quarter cupful of butter. Mix together in a separate bowl one cupful each of white and brown sugar, a quarter cupful of molasses and a half cupful of cream. Add to the melted butter and bring to a boil.

Take from the fire, add a teaspoonful and a half of vanilla, then stir constantly until thickened. Pour in a buttered pan and set in a cold place. D.

Prepared in the German way, apple sauce becomes a dinner dessert rather than as with us, a breakfast or luncheon relish. One would not care for the Teutonic version as a perpetual thing to the exclusion of our own excellent Yankee dish, but once in a while it is extremely tasty, especially when no other idea for the family dessert presents itself. After preparing the sauce as usual sprinkle with cinnamon, decorate with halves of blanched almonds and serve with cream. VASSAR FUDGE Add to two cups white granulated or soft brown sugar, one cupful thick cream. Put this over the fire, and when it gets hot add a quarter cake chocolate, grated or broken in fine pieces. Stir constantly and vigorously. When it reaches the boiling point add a teaspoonful butter, and keep stirring until a little poured on a saucer creams with beating. Take from the fire, beat until cool and pour in buttered tins. Tiny ends of candles should be kept to add to the starch on wash days. They will add to the gloss. When next making rice pudding, flavor with lenon and cinnamon. It will be found exceedingly tasty. A cracked egg may be safely boiled if wrapped in a piece of greased paper.

The 'rah-'rah boy had been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs, but his ears pricked up at the man's name and he drawled: "I rather like that chap. He's all right." "What do you know about him?" the other brother asked, rather contemptuously. "Oh, he gave me a shade the best of it one night." "Gave you the best of it?" both father and brother shouted.

COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING FROM SKIN ERUPTION "I have been using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for the past three months and I am glad to say that they cured me of a most annoying skin eruption. It began by my noticing red blotches appearing on my face and scalp. Although they were rather disfiguring, I did not think anything of them until they began to get scaly and dry and to itch and burn until I could not stand the suffering. Then I began to use a different soap, thinking that my old kind might be hurting me, but that didn't seem to do any good. I went to two different doctors but neither seemed to relieve me any. I lost many nights' sleep in continual scratching, sometimes scratching till I drew the blood on my face and head. Then I started in to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months I was entirely relieved of that awful pest.

"Pretty steep land for planting, isn't it?" a visitor asked the tiller of the soil. "Pretty steep," the farmer assented. "I suppose it's quite difficult to plant your corn?" "Quite difficult," came the echo. Quite different, came the echo. The visitor was interested, and would not be put off with short replies. "Eh—how do you manage to plant on this hill?" he persisted. The farmer gazed at him pitying. "We have to shoot it all into the earth with shotguns, stranger," he assured his guest. The visitor gasped. "Really?" he ejaculated. "Really now? Is that actually true?" The farmer sighed and turned upon his guest a look of withering scorn. "No, that isn't true," he answered. "I'm trying to make conversation." OUT OF A JOB.

Is REGULAR 50¢ EXTRA SPECIAL $100 TUBERCULOSIS DAY IS TO BE CELEBRATED APRIL 30TH HAS BEEN SET ASIDE THIS YEAR AS "TUBER- CULOSIS DAY." CHURCHES WILL COOPERATE Leaders of the Movement Hope to Enlist 33,000,000 Church Members. April 30th has been set aside this year as "Tuberculosis Day," and will be observed in 200,000 churches in the country in a manner similar to that of "Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910, when over 40,000 sermons were preached on the prevention of consumption. In this first official announcement of the occasion made by the National Association of the study and prevention of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the movement state that they hope to enlist all of the 23,000,000 church members in the country. In one respect Tuberculosis Day will differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of 1910. Instead of requesting the churches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service, the National Association is going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and its prevention can be discussed, be held on Sunday, April 30th, or on any other day near that date, either in the week preceding or the week following. "What we want," says Doctor Livingston Farrand, executive secretary of the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis, in a report on this movement, "is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis discussed in all of the 200,000 churches of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible. This does not mean that a stated service must be given over to this work, though that might be desirable, but that any minister, or other authority whom he may invite; can present the problem of his congregation before or after his regular service, or on any day within the week preceding or following April 30th." OPPOSE ANTI-MARRIAGE LAW. Dutch Member of the South African Parliament Proposes Such a Law in the Land of the African. Johannesburg, South Africa.—(Special.)—South Africa is witness a recrudescence of the color question. A Dutch member of the union parliament has proposed an amendment to the marriage bill forbidding the marriage of whites and colored persons. The heads of the Angelican and Roman Catholic churches declare that if the amendment is carried they will, nevertheless, solemnize such marriages. Other churches, except the Dutch, will probably act in a similar way. The government is trying to break the amendment, but a large body of Dutch opinion demands the enactment of this restriction. The press here mainly emphasizes the futility of forbidding marriage between whites and colored people without preventing intercourse, which is impossible. The Dutch church is promoting a private bill to amalgamate the different sections of the church. A feature of the measure is a clause enacting that colored members of the church in Cape Colony lose their membership if they migrate North of the cape while colored people in the Northern colonies will be ineligible for membership. A section of the press denounces this as an unprecedented and cynical travesty of Christianity. A PROGRESSIVE CHURCH. Large Financial Increase as Well Large Increase in Membership in Maryland Church. Salisbury, Md.—(Special.)—This has been without doubt one of the most successful years in the history of the John Wesley M. E. church, over $2000 having been raised for all purposes during the year. The membership has increased to nearly 300. Dr P. O'Connell, district superintendent, held his fourth quarterly conference and the reports were highly commended. This ends his sixth year as superintendent of this work, and the people speak in the highest trems of his administration. A committee of ladies presented Rev. R. G. Waters, the pastor, with a $10.00 suit of clothes. Three hundred dollars have been raised to extend the county school term for this year. Profesor Williams is to be congratulated on his excellent work along this line. Doctor Stephens will canvass the state for the better industrial training ITEMS FROM THE ODD - If the bottom cellar step be painted white it will save many a fall in the dark.

Any fraternity, such as Masonry, which enforces the idea of the worship of God, is doing a great good for the county. The most important civilizing influence of Masonry is that which pertains to morals. Nations have fallen in the past, not because they lacked riches or the conception of the beautiful, but because of their lack of moral ideas. The man who stands by his vows is the man who is exhibiting brotherly love, and this is Masonry and stands for the home.—Brother Thomas S. Young, Kansas. Masonry's Influence and Place. Masonry is one of the links in the great chain of human existence. Its influence upon the hearts of the men who have come within its dominion and who have come under the warm sunlight of its affection, is among the most benign offered to mankind. It has been a source of light to all men in all countries, and its teachings the most rational and intelligent in aiding to create the highest order of moral ethics. Man's highest duty is to his family, his country, and God, and these Masonry has always championed. The one important thing among the crafts should be the moral influence it exerts upon the community, and the great body politic. We should be proud that we occupy so enviable a place in the hearts of our fellow-men and our fealty in the future to society and God will depend upon our devotion to all the tenets and precepts of our beloved fraternity. It Is Elevating. The remark is often heard that "a man should not be admitted to Masonry to reform him." This remark is susceptible of several constructions. If it is meant that it is wrong to admit a man known to be bad in order to bring about his reformation, the position is well taken. But if it is intended to create the impression that Masonry does not make a man better, does not show him a better way to live and does not have a great moral influence upon those who receive the benefits of its impressive ceremonies, then there is ample ground to successfully refute the statement. Few, very few, men are so good that some reformation cannot be brought about. There is always some improvement to be made even in the most exemplary man, and the more intellectual and moral the man the more he is capable of understanding the moral commands of Masonry, the more benefit he will receive from being made a Mason. It was never intended or expected that the ignorant and vicious would embrace Masonry or that any good could possibly come of admitting to membership men of this class. They cannot understand the sublime teachings of the order, nor can they be expected to receive any great benefit. So far as reforming this class of men is concerned, that is out of the question, and this is what is probably meant by many good men when making the above remark. But the intellectual and moral classes, those men whose ideals are high and who aim for better things in this world, are made better men and better citizens. When a man admits that he has not been benefited, from a moral standpoint, by his admission into the order, it is a confession that he has either utterly failed to perform his duty as a Mason or that he is a degenerate.—Masonic Chronicler. Secret Societies. If there is a man living who is entitled to the pity of Masons, it is one who really believes that secret societies are a menace to the welfare of mankind. Every man who has a right to claim to be responsible, well-educated and intelligent knows that a secret society which does not attempt to conceal the fact of its existence can not be entirely bad. A society of robbers, murderers or even scheming, dishonest politicians, does not hang a sign over the outer door, nor do the members give their names to the newspaper for publication, but conceal as long as possible every act which might in any way disclose their meeting place, give the intimation that a combination of any kind has been formed. They must necessarily keep their membership secret, and confined to very few persons. They may be oath-bound, but an oath among such people only binds through fear of the assassin's knife or something not less binding—the fear of exposure. It is said that "there is honor among thieves," but it is a sort of honor that carries no credit with it. It is bankrupt the instant that exposure comes, as exposure entirely destroys its value. The only secret society that is entirely bad is the one which is entirely unknown to any one outside of those directly in it, and not necessarily bad, even they, unless instituted for base purposes. If the opponents of secret societies would spend less time in hunting up liars, who are never reliable, except as disturbers of the peace and harmony of their fellow-man, to invent slanders against respectable and honest men, who have, by noble deeds, won the respect, not only of their own country, but the nations of the earth, and a little more time in helping to ferret out and punish thieves, corruptionists and anarchists, the world might become better from their having lived. It takes a good many kinds of people to make a world, but it must seem to be an easy-going, good-natured sort of a man that it would have been just as well to have left out the fellow whoknows so much more than his neighbors that he believes it to be his duty to tell others how infernally mean they are. There are men, callinf themselves Christians, who make their living by publishing to the world slanderous accusations against men much more clean and pure than themselves! It is possible that in their secret chambers they humble themselves before God and seek forgiveness through the intercession of him who sald: "Let him-that is without sin cast the first stone."—no, they could not consistently do anything in secret; they must live in hope that the Redeemer will, in the last hour, wash away their sins with his precious blood. May God forgive them, they know not what they do."—Missouri Freemason. ADAM WAS REAL GENTLEMAN That Fact Is Thoroughly Demonstrated by the Manner In Which He Treated Eve. Was Adam a sneak or a gentleman? Mr. George A. Crawford thinks a gentleman, and has written a very jolly pamphlet to prove it. Adam, it appears, has been misquoted. He is made to say: "The woman thou gavest me tempted me, and I did eat"—a remark unworthy the foremost man of time. What Adam did say was: "The woman thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." Mr. Crawford prints the words "to be with me" in large and resonant capitals, feeling that they reflect credit upon Adam. You see what the father of the race was driving at. Required to pick between Paradise without Eve and Eve without Paradise, he stuck out for Eve. He was a gentleman. Had he been a sneak, he would have argued that he never meant to marry Eve, but was imposed upon, owing to inexperience. Perhaps you recall that his acquaintance among girls had been rather limited. The first one he saw caught him. Thus, he might have begged the Judge to set him free, cling as precedents the affair of the young gentleman who took part in charades. Said this delightful youth: "I tell you what, Miss Bunthorne, we'll act 'Paradise Lost.' I'll propose; you reject me; they'll never guess it." Any judge unable to appreciate the appositeness of the citation and its argumentative potency might as well retire. Clerks rejoice in Mr Crawford's rehabilitation of Adam. It will be a boon to the lovers of genealogy. Most Bostonians trace their ancestry as far back as Hyman Cohen of Jerusalem or Terence O'Malley of Cork, but hesitate to go further. They are afraid of Adam. Regarding him as a sneak, they are in terror less thorough investigation prove them to be descended from him. No longer need they quall. Crawford's pamphlet in hand, they can say to the genealogist: "Go as far as you like!"—Clerk of the Day in Boston Transcript. NOT FAMILIAR WITH MONEY Many Poor Children in the Public Schools Do Not Know Pieces of Larger Denominations. Unfamiliarity with money gives children a queer idea of the value of certain coins. A 50-cent piece dropped from the pocket of a visitor to a New York school and was returned by a small girl with the remark: "Here, sir, is your $10." The man laughed in spite of himself, but the teacher looked sad. "Poor little things," she said. "How can you expect them to know any better? They never see a piece of money bigger than a quarter. They are as sharp as a coin collector on cents, nickels, dimes and quarters, and can almost tell the date across the room, but a piece of money bigger than that is such a rarity in their homes that they are apt to call anything from one to a hundred dollars." "When I first took charge of this class there wasn't a child in the room who could name the denomination of a coin above a quarter. They had heard of big money, but had never seen it. They have had several lessons in identifying Uncle Sam's money, but that particular girl happened to be absent, so it is not strange that she should take your half dollar for $10." Memorable Racing Day. The Melbourne Cup is a national institution in Australia and is almost as well-known as the English Derby in sporting circles the world over. This year was the jubilee of the race, and there was a record crowd to witness the victory of the Victorian-owned, but English-bred Comedy King. Mr. Prain, one of the members of the Scottish agricultural commission, visiting Australia, described the cup meeting as the spectacle of a lifetime, and altogether a memorable day. That the young men who are now experimenting in aeronautics are the ones who will save the country in the next great war is the declaration of Hudson Maxim. "We are practically defenseless and the arrival of an aerial fleet will prove our salvation," he says. "Every hill-op in this country should be crowned with an aerial battery and a landing platform, and on every mountain peak there should be an aeroplane stationed, ready for flight, for thers can be no doubt about it, the outcome of the next great war will depend upon the superiority of air crafts." LET US RALLY FOR OUR Brother Davis has just sent out an appeal to every Household in the State asking each branch to raise $1 per member for the erection of our building on Thanksgiving Day. It is asked that we give $1 each as a free-will offering as an evidence of our faith and interest in the Order, and I appeal to every Sister in Georgia to rally $1 strong for our headquarters. As your chief officer, I approve of the undertaking, and shall do my full duty as an Old Fellow and call upon every inmate in the State to volunteer $1 for the erection of the building in Atlanta, so that no tax will have to be levied to meet expenses. There are at least 15,000 of us, and let us, on Thanksgiving Day, raise $15,000 from the Household for the building. Let each Ruth appoint a committee to see to it that $1 is raised for every inmate in the State. This is no taxation, and the request is not compulsory. You are at liberty to give as much as you please, or nothing, if you please. It is up to each one of us what we will give; but we are not going to shirk any responsibility or refuse to help, our Brothers bear the burden. The erection of this great building will be a tribute to the Order in the State and the nation, and each will share in common with our brethren its honor and glory. So let us rally in the old Georgia way. Let us volunteer like brave daughters of Ruth, and let us follow our leader like Ruth followed Naomi. This is a volunteer movement, where every Sister and every Brother is left upon his honor to do his full duty or neglect it. I have just as much faith in my Sisters as Brother Davis has in his Brothers, and I believe we will raise just as much money in proportion to our number as he will with the brethren. Our slogan is $1 for every Sister in the State. Let us rally. Yours in Peace, Happiness and Prosperity, MRS. R. L. BARNES, District Most Noble Governor. Attest: MRS. L. P. FORTUNE, D. W.
