The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias
CONVENES IN BRUNSWICK ON MONDAY
Interesting Fight for Offices Anticipated—Grand Chancellor Hutto Opposed by Dr. Stoney—Other Officers Also Opposed—Mrs. R. L. Barnes to Preside Over Courts.
The twenty-third session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Georgia will convene in Brunswick on next Tuesday in what promises to be one of the largest and most interesting sessions ever held by the order.
The Savannah delegation which will be present at the Grand Lodge will be very large, both the lodges and the courts sending full representation. They will leave the city Monday over the Seaboard Air Line. The city of Brunswick has made extensive preparations for the entertainment of the delegates to the Grand Lodge and the entire city will be thrown open to them. The coming session of the Pythians has already attracted an unusual amount of interest throughout the state, on account of the opposition which the administration is meeting. All of the present officers will have opposition.
The present Grand Chancellor, G. R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, is opposed by Dr. Geo. N. Stoney, of Augusta; Gen. F. M. Cohen, of this city, Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Bureau for the past fifteen years, will have as opposers Dr. G. P. Washington, of Waycross, and W. L. Fambro of Macon. C. A. Clark of Brunswick, Grand Lecturer for the last five years, will be opposed by C. Marshall of Valdosta; Dr. Edward J. Turner of Columbus, Grand Medical Examiner will fight it out with Dr. R. W. Jackson of Brunswick, and B. W. Warren, of Americue, Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, will be opposed by R. H. Irwin of Macon and a candidate from Augusta.
A lively campaign has been waged by the administration and their opposers for the last few weeks and the election will be one of the fiercest waged for some time. At a meeting of the Past Chancellors in this city last Sunday, the administration was almost unanimously endorsed.
The Courts of Calanthe, the female portion of the order, will also convene at Brunswick at the same time as the lodges and will be presided over by Mrs. R. L. Barnes, of this city, Grand Worthy Counsellor for the past 18 years. Mrs. Barnes is the guiding star of the Calantheans, and during the past year there have been thirty-five new courts added, making the membership of the courts of the state exceed ten thousand. The grand auditors finished examining her office this week and found the financial standing of the courts excellent, there being over $29,000 on deposit to their credit. Mrs. Barnes will be unanimously re-elected, and so far as can be ascertained there will be no opposition to any of the other grand officers.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1913
Race Loyalty Shown In Muskogee, Okla.
NEGROES CAME TO RESCUE OF THEIR BANK
Run on Institution Met by Loyal Negro Citizens—$36,000 Deposited by Negro Capitalists—White Paper Starts Trouble
A Texas Negro citizen after visiting Muskogee last year, returned to his home and said, "Muskogee Negroes are truer in backing up race enterprises than Negroes are elsewhere." This truth has been placed beyond all future dispute by the happy ending of the financial flurry of last Saturday, June 14th which temporarily, and in the minds of Negroes of littie faith in themselves and others, seemed distined to wreck the People's Bank and Trust Company, the widely known Negro banking institution of Muskogee.
THE flurry was accompianded by all the incidents which usually go along with failures of financial institutions, except two; one, the bank did not close for good; the other, there were no losses on the part of the depositors. There was however, a run on the bank, and then, also, there was however, a run on the bank, and then, also, there was a closing down for a day, but this was in pursuance of the orders of the State Bank Examiner, whose duty it is in such cases to take charge and see that the interests of the depositors are safeguarded. After a rest of one day, the bank re-opened, and let it be known far and wide, the re-opening is not due to financial aid given by white banks, as was the extensively advertised case of the John Mitchell bank of Richmond, Virginia, several years ago. The People's Bank and Trust Company was saved by Negroes prayers and Negro money. The large sum of $36,000 was brought in and deposited by Negro capitalists, merchants and professional men, and the confidence of the Negro and the white public was fully restored.
WHITE PAPER STARTS TROUBLE The trouble came about from, it may be said entirely untoward and unexpected cause. One of the members of the corporation, a former vice president of the institution, beliving he had a grievance, entered suit against several of the stockholders. The suit was filed after the usual banking hour on Friday, and the first intimation had of it by the officers was the newspaper containing report of it on Saturday morning. In the Saturday morning daily Muskogee Phoenix there appeared the statement that Mr. P. A. Lewis had entered suit to recover $2,000, which, the paper said he had been persuaded to in invest by certain bank officers in "bogus and worthless" certificates of stock.
Many Negro depositors, reading this concluded that it was time for them to get busy, and chase themselves down to the bank and draw out their money. The thought was acted upon at once, and many got there much quicker than if they had been sent for. As they hurried along a word and a hint was dropped here and there, with the result the bank was soon besieged by an army of "Christian" but exceeding frightened, soldiers, the song of whom was not "Give me Jesus," but "Giblime my money, Mr People's Bank."
GOT JUST WHAT THEY CAME FOR
The raid was unexpected, but the officers of the bank were not dismayed and set to work at once to face the difficulties that confronted them, like men and to preserve the bank's unsullied name.
President Bell drew on his personal and private resources and his example was followed by A. W. Marshall, J. M. Love, Robert Love and other officials. Thus the depositors, as fast as they came, were paid dollar for dollar of the amount due them. The run continued until 1 o'clock, the usual Saturday closing hour.
THE SOLE SUNDAY TOWN TALK
Sunday was the 15th. The
one proceeding. Muskogee was
jammed with Baptists, and the only
talk was the Baptist Congress parade. But this Sunday every Negro man and woman in Muskogee talked in whispers and in scriers about the trouble of the notation in

National B.Y. P. U's Meet Here Tuesday
TO CONVENE AT FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH
Every Section of Country To Be Represented—One of Largest Crowds of Church Workers Ever Assembled in City Expected
It is anticipated that one of the largest and most important gatherings of church workers that ever assembled in this city will be that of the National Baptist Young People's Union, which will convene at the First African Baptist church, Franklin Square, on next Tuesday night July 8th.
The coming congress of the B. Y. P. U's will be the eighth annual session, and will consume six days ending on the following Monday night with a farewell meeting and a reception. ness and professional men. Some of the most influential and most celebrated Baptist ministers of the country will be in attendance at the convention and representatives from many states will also be present. Dr. Wm. L. Craft, field secretary of the organization, has been in city for the past week completing arrangements for the congress and everything points to a most successful meeting.
The reception of the delegates is in the hands of Rev. W. L. Jones, pastor of the church where the congress meets and extensive plans have been perfected for the entertainment of the visitors. Reduced rates have been granted on all the roads leading into the city. This will prove quite an inducement and a record crowd is therefore expected. On the opening night of the congress, the welcome addresses and response will be made, and several musical numbers will be rendered. A large crowd of visitors will doubtless be hand to witness the opening exercises.
which they all took pride. The preachers of all the various denominations made the bank's distress topic for their sermon and prayers, exhorting their members to go to the bank and deposit to the utmost of their ability. Never before was the Negro race pride raised to such high a pitch, and it was well for the bank. On Monday morning a long line of Muskogee's leading citizens and business men were at the door of the bank and this time not to draw out but to deposit money.
MONEY IN SACKS AND POCKETS These men came with the determination of relieving the bank of its distress. They had the stuff with them to do it. One had a big bulging sack; many had big fists full of bills and others had bulging pockets, a sight of which would have made a pickpocket's eyes glassy. Mr. T. J. Elliott, president of the Oklahoma Business League, and a prominent cloister, was on hand with $5,000. Others with sums ranging from hundreds to several thousands were in line eager to aid and show their confidence in the bank. As the Bank Examiner was in charge on Monday, the bank also closed, it was impossible for deposits to be received. So they left to return on Tuesday.
After a thorough examination by Deputy Examiner Samuels, which showed the depositors were amply protected by gilt-edge securities, the bank re-opened Tuesday morning and it was not very long before the receiving teller had taken in over $36,000.00 in deposit. It is conceded, by those who know, that the wide faith and confidence in financial circle enjoyed by President L. A. Bell contributed very materially toward lifting the bank over its financial trouble, thus restoring its usefulness. The suit of Mr. Lewis will be arranged out of court and the officers are now working in harmony, and determined that the bank shall go to greater fame and success in the financial world.—Texas Star.

Dr. Washington Announces his Candidacy.
Waycross, Ga., June 26, 1913. At the earnest request of many Sir Knights, I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of Grand Secretary of Endowment and ask the vote and consideration of Sir Knights of Georgia at Brunswick, Ga., July 8th, 1913. I feel like many of them, and in fact have always felt (and the best evidence is that I had the feeling while in office) that no man or set of men should have a life tenure of office; especially in this American country, where there are others, and where it is the right of the drop that crawls upon the bottom today, to ride upon the crest of the highest wave tomorrow. If elected, I offer you the life I have lived as a guarantee to the one I shall live while in office.
To Play Ball for The Old Folks.
What promises to be one of the most interesting baseball games of the season will be that between the Mail Carriers and the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association. The mail carriers' team has already played one game this year and is well known. The team of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association will be composed of some of the old college and local stars among the members of the association. Manager Perry R. Wright of the Business Men's, team will have his men out practicing this afternoon. The mail carriers' team is in good condition and expect to redeem themselves after the defeat of last month. The game will be played for the benefit of the Old Folks and Orphan's Home and a large crowd is expected to witness it. It is thought that the game will be played on the 14th, of this month, though this date has not been definitely decided upon.
Wedding Invitations Out
Wedding invitations of the marriage of Mr. Richard Wright to Miss Mabel McIntosh were out this week. The wedding will take place on the 16th, of this month at the home of the Miss McIntosh 312 East Duffy. The contracting parties are well known among the younger set. Mr. Wright is in the employ of the Central of Georgia, and Miss McIntosh is the daughter of Proof.

Great Throngs Observe "Fourth"
PARKS CROWDED WITH AMUSEMENT SEEKERS
Few Accidents of Serious Nature—Many Strangers Among Crowd—Nearest Attempt at Sane Fourth—Ball Games Attracted Large Crowd—All Public Buildings Closed
The Fourth of July, as usual, was very widely observed throughout the city and at the various amusement parks on the outskirts of town.
All during the day great crowds of persons promenaded the principal thoroughfares of the city taking in the accustomed sights that are to be sheen when so many persons flock on the streets. The observance of the holiday in the city was general, all the public buildings and most of the retail and wholesale houses being closed practically all day, while a few of the business houses which opened for a while in the morning suspended business at noon in order to give their employees an opportunity to celebrate the holiday.
The confectioneries and ice cream gardens were packed from morning;till late at night and did a land office business, while their employees greeted the long awaited closing hour with a sigh of relief and a hope that the next "fourth" would find them otherwise engaged.
For the thousands who were offered opportunity for recreation and cared to get away from the humdrum scenes of city life the various amusement parks of the city presented quite an inducement and the crowds which took advantage of the opportunity to visit them were record breakers.
The roads leading to the parks were virtually alive with outing parties traveling in every conceivable kind of vehicle, from the antiquated ox cart to the latest model automobile. Especially did the roads present an animated appearance between the hours of 3 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon when it seemed that all the available conveyances in the city were pressed in service carrying the people for a spin on the roads.
Considering the wide observance which the day was given, the small number of accidents which occurred was most remarkable and demonstrates the effectiveness with which the "sane fourth" has been agitated.
For Grand Secretary and
Treasurer of Endowment.
Waycross, Ga., June 30, 1913.
We, the undersigned, ask the votes of Sir Knights of Georgia for Dr. G. P. Washington, of Waycross, Ga., one of the few who participated in the resurrection of the K. of P. of Georgia, and a man whom the world, as far as he is known, knows to be loyal not only to the order, but to every thing. He is a man who is the quintessence of a square deal; and a man who has made good. By reason of that fact, as well as his being one of the oldest Knights in Georgia, and so far as we know, the only Sir Knight who has ever had. the moral courage to say, "Brethren, I have had the joblong enough, and to hold it longer is to suck the blood from the veins of my brother physicians, and I would not hold longer, with this feeling for five thousand dollars a year, we desire your support." He is a man, therefore, who, we know, will not hang on 20 years. This brethren, is the true spirit of Damon and Pythias exemplified in the person of Dr. G. P. Washington, the man whom we ask your vote for as Grand Secretary and Treasurer of Endowment at Brunswick, Ga.

Beth-Eden Baptist Church
Corner Lincoln and Gordon Streets
The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, in his sermon Sunday morning, clearly and forcibly brought before his hearers the need of more men like Paul who will not be afraid to tell the truth; men and women who will stand to the preaching of a true gospel, not looking for the hallelujah, but reasoning men and women. There was quite a large number out Sunday night at the sacred concert, which was very good. We thank all of our friends and ask them to come again. Services to-morrow as follows: prayer meeting 6:30 a.m., Sunday school 9:45, a.m., preaching 11 a.m., B. Y. P. U., 7 p. m., preaching 8:30 p. m. We welcome all, at all times.

All men are invited to come and take part in the discussion. Meeting begins promptly at 4:30 in Williams building.
5t. Philip Dots
Our members failed to grasp the opportunity of attending church at eleven o'clock a. m. on Sunday. The weather was ideal, Prof. C. G. Wylcy, principal of one of the public schools at Valdosta, Ga., and one of Savannah's young men that have made good and one of St. Philip's old Sunday School scholars, preached. His theme was "Pattern after Christ." At 8:30 p. m., G. W. Gambell, one of the pioneers of the A. M. E. church, was God's messenger. His sermon was very strong and forceful. Presiding Elder A. L. Sampson has been appointed presiding elder of the West Savannah District to succeed the late Rev. T. N. Smith. Mrs. Helen Lewis Spaulding, formerly of Savannah and once a member of St. Philips, died in Jersey City last week. Her body was brought to Savannah and buried from St. Philips on Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Singleton and the delegates to the League conference which was held at Jesup, Ga., last week, returned on Sunday. The conference was the best ever held. Prof. B. S. Reid was elected musical director for three years. Next session will be held in Atlanta, Ga., in 1914. Sunday June 14 will be pledge day. Please keep this in mind. Messrs. W. J. Williams, J. M. Northington and S. J. Howard have been appointed to call at your homes and collect there, pledges from all members that are behind in payments. Those that have paid up will pay their pledges at the church, as you have been doing. There will be a sacred concert at St. Philip church on Sunday July 13 at 4:30 p. m.

Among the Mason
The Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star will meet in Waycross August 6. Reduced rates on the certificate plan have been secured. All representatives must get their certificates in order to secure reduced rate returning. Not every Mason in name is a Mason indeed. Be active.
The duty is not alone upon the weak; a higher duty is upon the strong. It is easier for us in our strength to lift those below us than it is for; the weak to rise merely by the force of our example. In the army George Washington, during the American Revolution of 1775-1788 there were ten lodges of Freemasons. Every Major General, and many of lesser rank were of our brotherhood.
The trouble with the majority of Masons is that once they are "in" the lodge they heave a sigh of relief after the grind of committing their lectures to memory and straightway fall into the rut of learning nothing and doing nothing until obliged to.—Masonic Light,
Recognized Masonic authorities state that in the earliest rituals of the eighteenth century there is no mention of Doacons, the duties of those officers, as we now understand, them being discharged partly by the Junior Warden and partly by the Senior and Junior Entered Apprentices.—Masonic World.
Why is it that Masons will expend hundreds of dollars in joining the lodge, chapter, council, commandery, consistory and shrine, paying their money cheerfully for the degrees and for the annual dues, and yet when they are solicited to subscribe for a Masonic newspaper will say that they cannot afford to take it?—Masonic Chronicler.
I have observed that Masons who have the highest regard for their obligations are the ones whom the craft take most delight in honoring. It seems that this regard is a recommendation that carries weight and conviction to their acts and words beyond the point of all other considerations, and endears them to a brother more than ties of mere association. To know a man as a true Mason is to have a sort of reverence for him that demands one's full confidence in his earnestness and integrity.—Masonic Home Journal.
The example of every Mason is dependent upon his personal habits and conduct.
It is what he does that fixes his influence, and not what he says. If his personal deportment is right, his example is good and his influence elevating and uplifting. Though the words of the wise be as nails fastened by the Masters on assemblies, yet their expamples are the hammers to drive them in to take the deeper hold. A father who whipped his son for swearing and swore himself while whipping him, did more harm by his example than good by his correction. Example is the school of mankind; they will learn at no other. Noble and elevating examples stir up to noble accomplishments and the very history of life and public soul inspires a man, with generous thoughts.—Missouri Freemason.
Many of the Craft justly pride themselves on the ancient and honorable character of Freemasonry. Some of them vainly try to solve the problem whence this great institution came and by whom it was originated. It is an evolution of all the ages, for in it we find conserved the great and immortal truths which have blessed men in all the past. We behold the light of the sun and realize its blessed effects, but we must do our part in the work of culture, or not fully enjoy them. So it is with Freemasonry. It's light must be a part of our life. Its great principles must be cultivated in our minds and souls and appear in our conduct, or we will fail to fully enjoy our Masonic rights and privileges and to properly perform our Masonic duties. The great work is laid on us of skillfully employing the great principles of Freemasonry in Masterbuilding for eternity, and that is our great concern. Not the past, but the present and the future are ours to guard and improve, and for that purpose we must utilize every moment of our time.
Recently the Grand Master was called to inquire into a complaint which had been lodged against a brother for irregularities of conduct. The first question which the Grand Master asked was, "Is he worth saving?" and the brethren with one accord answered "Yes." "Then," said the Grand Master, "let us make an effort to save him. The brother was sent for, the matter was fully discussed and the vow registered that he would re-
nounce his evil habits and try and live as becomes as exemplary man and Mason. And he was given a chance to make good. This is Masonry. Our business is to help one another. The time for discipline is when all efforts to save the wayward brother have failed. But how eager we are at times to prefer charges when if true to our obligations we would go quietly to him and whisper in his ear the word of warning and the good council which his error might demand. Let us then be mindful of our obligations and make an effort to save before we cast out.—Illinois Freemason.
Timely Caution.
"Loan me five, old man. If I live until next week I'll pay you back." "Here it is. But if you fall to survive the time limit, don't try to stick me for the funeral expenses."—Kansas City Journal.
The Great Danger.
"What do you consider the chief danger of wealth?" asked the solemn man.
"That the other fellow will have it," responded a bearer inclined to flippancy.—Philadelphia Ledger.
A Story of Holman Hunt
Gambart, the art dealer, sent Holman Hunt to the Holy Land to paint a picture similar to the "Light of the World." Hunt returned with "The Scapegoat," which so disappointed Gambart that he refused to accept it. Seeing Linnell, the painter, shortly afterward he plantively said: "I wanted a nice religious bicture, and he bainted me a great goat."

Cleaning Polished Wood.
Many old fashioned housewives are afraid to touch their polished wood with a wet cloth, and this is a great mistake, though, of course, woodwork should never be left damp. When cleaning the rooms the furniture may occasionally be washed with soap and water to remove dirt and grease, but it must then, of course, be carefully dried, and, last of all, it should be polished with any of the reliable furniture polishes or well tested home variety.
Cooked Radishes.
It seems queer to think of cooking radishes, but it can be done, and people who have tasted them say they are good. Take large white radishes and cut them into thick slices. Boil for about ten minutes in water in which a little salt has been put and then fry them in hot butter, seasoning with pepper, salt and a little vinegar.
Egyptian Sashes.
Many of the new evening sashes are of the Egyptian scarf type, draped round the hips and knotted to fall with long straight ends in front.

Beans to Separate Bones.
Beans to Separate Bones.
Anatomists, when they wish to separate the bones of a skull, sometimes resort to a very peculiar procedure. They fill the skull with small beans and place it in a vessel of water. The beans swell and rend the skull apart at the sutures. The well known German physiologist Grehaut measured the force which the beans are capable of exerting under these conditions and found that it indicated five atmospheres, equal to the average pressure in the boiler of a steam engine.
Vanished Earthings
The farthing was once quite an important little coin. In the fourteenth century, for instance, London's bakers and publicans, by order of the lord mayor, were obliged to supply farthings' worth of bread and beer to the poor. "No change" excuses were impossible. Supplies of farthings were to be obtained at the Guildhall, and the baker or publican who "ran out" of change was forced to "treat" patrons to their farthings' worth of bread and beer. Today one rarely sees the coin—London Tatler.
Guess It Is.
Yeast—I see street gas lamps were first used in London in 1807. Crimsonbeak—Indeed! I didn't know that joke about the fellow holding up a lamp-post in the early morning hours was as old as that. Yonkers Statesman.
THE FUTURE
Provide as best you may be able for the future, but do not constantly worry about it. One of the elements of our happiness springs from the fact that we do, not know the future. How large a part of the pleasure of life is shattered and blighted by an unreasonable anticipation of coming evil!

Lesson I.—Third Quarter, For July 6, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Ex. i, 22, to ii, 10.
Memory Verses, ii, 9; 10—Golden
Text, Matt. xviii; 5—Commentary
Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The Lord God had said to Abram that his seed should be strangers in a land not the thels and should serve them and be afflicted 400 years (Gen. iv, 13). The children of Israel multiplied so rapidly that some time after the death of Joseph and his brethren and all that generation a new king, who disregarded the deliverance of Joseph, began to oppress the Israelites with cruel bondage and to afflict them, but the more they were afflicted the more they multiplied and grew (Ex. 1, 6, 8, 11, 12). The king then decreed that every male child among the people of Israel should be drowned, but the women who waited upon the women of Israel feared God rather than Pharaoh, and this command of the king was not fully obeyed.
At this time Moses was born and was fair to God and nourished up in his father's house three months (Acts vii, 20, M). "By faith Moses when he was born was hid three months of his parents because they saw he was a proper child and they were not afraid of the king's commandment" (Heb. xi, 23). In Ex. vi, 20, we learn that the names of the man and woman of the house of Levi of our lesson, the father and mother of Moses, were Amram and Jochebed, and they had three children. Miriam, the eldest; then Aaron and Moses (Num xxvi, 59). From Num. xxxlii, 39; Deut. xxviv, 7; Ex. vi, 7, we learn that Aaron was three years older than Moses, so that Aaron escaped the decree of death. We have seen many things in the life of Joseph typical of the Lord Jesus, and we are fully authorized by Deut. xviii, 18, to see many things in the life of Moses typical of Christ, for the Lord said to him, "I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
As Moses was born at a time when all the male children were under sentence of death, so Herod sought to kill Jesus by killing the male children of a certain age in Bethelhem. Death is the devil's great weapon, but the Son of God took flesh and blood "that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death—that is, the devil" (Heb. ii, 14). Concerning the ark of bulrushes which Jochebed made for her dear baby boy, I have no doubt but that she was instructed by God to do this and just how to do it. There are only two other arks in Scripture, the ark of Noah and the ark of the Covenant, and neither Noah nor Moses had anything to say or suggest in the construction of either. The three arks are alike also in that they were made to preserve their contents. It will require a fond mother's heart to understand the feelings of this mother as she laid this little ark, with a part of herself in it, in the flags by the river's brink. I believe that, like Abraham, she expected to receive her son back again, and she did receive him from the place of death, as we shall seg. The mother returned home with aching heart, but prayerful and expectant, while Miriam stood afar off to see what would be done to him.
See God working in the directing of the steps of the king's daughter to the very place and in the mother's placing her treasure at that particular place. See the little vessel opened, the weeping babe, the compassion in the heart of the king's daughter. Miriam is on hand, sees the compassion for the babe, hears the words, "This is one of the Hebrews' children," and is ready with her question, "Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for thee?" At the word "Go" the maid went and called the child's mother.
Was ever maid so glad, and did ever willing feet carry a child so fast? Some day we may ask Miriam to tell us, if she can, what her feelings were that day. Can we imagine her greeting with what little breath she had left after her run home: "Mother, mother, the king's daughter has our baby and has sent me to get a nurse for it! Come, mother, come quickly!" Will Jochebed tell us some time in the kingdom that from the time she reached home till Miriam came she was unceasingly in prayer? It may have been so.
With a joy she dare not manifest, but with eagerness, she awalts the command, "Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages." Some mother must tell that dear mother's heart as with her babe clasped to her breast she quietly but joyfully hastens home. What a sad home it had been for a little while, but now the burden is gone, and Miriam, who eighty years later led the praises of Israel (Ex. xv, 20, 21), must have helped her mother to praise the God of Israel that day. The babe would be hers for some years anyway, and perhaps the wages for nursing was God's way of supplying an otherwise scanty means of support. Just as wondrously did the means come through the wise men to take Joseph and Mary and their precious babe down to Egypt. In due time the little boy was returned to the king's daughter and became her son, and she called his name Moses because she drew him out of the water.

"Does he belong to the 4007?
Yes, indeed. He's one of the clophers!" -New York Mail.
Adelina Patti once gave the following account of her first audience: At six years of age I was a prima donna of the nursery. When I had been put to bed on my return home with my father and mother from the opera I used to make sure that they and the rest of the family were asleep, and then I would hop out from beneath the counterpane and fancy myself a great cantatrice, bowing before the plaudits of a huge audience. I must admit that my audience was a little apathetic, but, after all, that is not to be wondered at, for they were only a row of dolls which I had ranged on chairs before me.
Mr. Cleveland's Portrait.
During his first administration, says Hilary A. Herbert in the Century, Mr. Cleveland, disliking a certain portrait of himself painted at that time, had it relegated to the garret. President Harrison caused it to be brought down. In his second term Mr. Cleveland spoke jocularly of the portrait and asked Tom Reed if he did not think that one who had twice been elected president was entitled to have two portraits. "Well, y-e-s," said Reed in his well known drawl, "if he has grown any handsomer."
Glasses and the Eyes.
Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have a more or less blurred vision, and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now, the two eyes are supposed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal a headache results. The remedy is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power. —Exchange.

THE DISOWNED LAMB.
Some Troubles of the Flockmaster at
Lambing Time.
The time Js about here when the
flockmaster will have abundant oppor-
tunity to exercise Job's crowning vir-
tue, for the thing that calls for the
most patient, persistent effort is the
Gisowned lamb. The ewe that hasn't
developed the motherly instinct at the
time of the birth of her lamb is often
a most obstinate proposition, writes
E. P. Snyder in the National Stock
oan.
I have found it an excellent plan to
shut the ewe up in a sinall pen when
It fy noticed that she 1s about to dror
her lamb. ‘Then the lamb can't get up
and wander away, which often results
in a disowned lamb. I never found
anything more convenient for this pur-
pose than a light hurdle, four feet
square, that can be picked up and set
over the ewe when she fs lyIng down.
‘This does away with catching and
handling the ewe, often with bad re-
sults.
Sometimes the ewe manifests repug-
nance toward her lamb and will fight
it, but I have known these same ugly
ewes to develop the most motherly
affection when once brought to a sense
of their maternal duties”

nourishment. If at the time I have
a digowned twin a ewe loses her lamb
I give her the orphan, for it {s usually
much less trouble to get her to adopt
the discarded twin and become an atf-
fectionate foster mother than to make
the natural mother even tolerate the
rejected twin.
I have made cossets of these dis:
owned lambs, but it costs more than
they are worth, and they are apt to be
nuisances when they grow up. Pet
sheep are often cross or are nuisances
because they refuse to fock with the
other sheep.
‘The ewe that has plenty of milk and
still refuses to awn her Jamb can usu-
Ally be made to own it with little trou-
ble, but it is quite another matter with
the ewe with no milk. I have some-
times succeeded by “bottling” the lamb
for x few days till the ewe comes to
her milk,
This problem of the disowned lamb
is only one of the many that confront
the practical shepherd, It is, however,
one of importance, for the percentage
of lambs, raised 1s of account in est!
mating the profits for the year. Suc-
cess comes only to the watchful, faith-
ful, patient flockmaster. It fs a bust-
ness that will admit of no neglect of
the details.

rendered by them to the

that since it is true that we in-
vested $566, 775.50 in six Negro

GROWING BABY BEEF.
Selects and Feeding Two Important
Things to Consider.
| With the Increasing demand for baby
beef the production of it bus become x
‘very profitable industry, says the Kan
sas Industriatist. So much udvice hus
been given ou the advantages of grow-
ing this kind of beef that the begin-
ner fs likely fo arrive at the conclusion
that this is the only profitable branch
of beef production. This is not neces-
sarily true, though it ts true, generally
speaking, that under the right condi-
tions the more quickly your live stock
1s finished and put on the market the
greater will be the profit.
To obtain the best results in zeactug
baby beef a number of things should
be borne in mind. The two most im-
portant of these are the selection of
well bred youngsters and the feeding.
Well bred feeding cattle can be fin-
ished for market at a younger uge
than the ordinary kind. The younger
the better for baby beef. And as a
rule only well bred ones will mature
sufficiently early to satisfactorily meet
market requirements. It requires
greater skill in selecting a calf for fat-
tening thin older cattle, for the more
milk fat it possesses the less it shows
its lack of quality in breeding. It ix
comparatively easy ‘to detect what
kind of a feeder a two-year-old steer
will make. With a calf it is more dit-
ficult.
Proper feeding might require even a
keener consideration. At the begin-

handling large quantities of coucen-

SATURDAY, JULY 5TH, 1913.
Alas! Americus! Who would have thought the orgies of cannibals would have been enacted there participated in by its citizens. 'Tis true that many of its citizens deplore the lynching, but simply meeting and protesting will be of no avail unless some steps are taken by the authorities to put an end to the disgraceful and shameful taking of human life committed by the mob at Americus and those at other places throughout the country. It is not indignation meetings that will stop lynching but determined action on the part of the authorities and the law abiding citizens who are willing and ready to enforce the law at all hazards.
The Democrats have just ascertained that Mr. E. R. Belcher as Deputy Collector of Customs at Brunswick is intolerant. When the late Col. Deveaux was appointed Collector of Customs of Brunswick, Mr. Belcher was among his first appointees, and after McKinley was elected president he was placed in the office as deputy and has served satisfactory ever since. He was in the classified service and according to that law in which the Democrats are such strong believers during the Republican regime, he can only be removed for cause. But the cause in this case is greed for office and the innate hatred of of Democrats toward colored men holding public office. And yet during the campaign the colored voters especially in the close states were importuned to vote the Democratic ticket.
It is indeed gratifying to note that the movement inaugurated only a few years ago for a safe and sane celebration of the Fourth of July, the natal day of our great republic, is being felt in the right direction. Throughout the country, there was a noticeable effort on the part of young America on yesterday, to give vent to his enthusiasm and pent up patriotism in a way that was in conformity to law and order and good judgment. It is indeed a great thing to hear the eagle "scream" on the Fourth and likewise to listen to the sounds of the cannon and the fire crackers which serve as reminders of the terrible struggles of our sires for political and religious liberty. They bring a thrill of patriotism into the breast of all. Let us continue to revere the memory of the "men of 76" each Fourth of July day. Let us remember, however, that true reverence to their memory is so wrapped up in good judgment and ordiliness that we will refrain from doing anything on our "Fourth" that savors of disorder or rowdyism.
For some time, we have noted the bad blood existing between our esteemed contemporaries of the Metropolis, the New York Age and the Amsterdam News, and have wondered why it was that they continue to be at each other's throat with the evident intention of seizing hold of each other and destroying each other's very vitals. We could see where there could be a difference of opinion between the two on any matter of public debate in which event, there ought be a free discussion of the subject by each, void of personalities. We could see further where any moral issue worthy of mention could and ought be handled by either or both of our esteemed contemporaries. We could not see however why such discussion of debatable subjects or issues should be conducted on a plane which smacked of billingsgate political tactics. It is a true saying "that whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." New York city is indeed a big place—supposedly large enough for both the New York Age and the Amsterdam News. Both areive, healthy papers, both wield a
great deal of influence and both are needed to assist in fighting the battles of our people both politically and otherwise. They cannot conserve their strength and energy for the good of the people whom they were organized to serve if they dissipate the same in a puerile and silly strife between themselves. Perhaps our esteemed contemporaries have had a long enough lease of life and want to be delivering death blows to each other. We trust not. Our esteemed contemporaries are full grown mentally. We trust that they see the hand writing on the wall. Let them cease their onslaughts of each other and get together for the good of our people. We want peace and unity among us, let us have it, the Age and the News to the contrary notwithstanding.
The present week witnessed the passing out of the community life of the city of Savannah, one of its most constructive and prominent citizens in the person of Rev. Richard Bright who, after a pastorate of nearly a quarter of a century over St. Stephen's Parish, this city, left the local field to engage in a larger work in Philadelphia.
Seldom, if ever before, has there been a greater universality of regrets expressed over the departure of one of our citizens than there has been over the departure of Rev. Bright. Coming to our city a young man nearly a quarter of a century ago, Rev. Bright entered upon the duties attendant upon the pastorate of St. Stephen's Church with vim and vigor and a spirit of progressiveness from the very beginning. Shortly after his arrival, he organized in connection with his church work, the St. Stephen's Kindergarden, the value of which can be measured by the excellence of the boys and girls who received their first literary impressions within its walls.
Possessing rare intellectuality and being powerful of expression, the efforts of Rev. Bright put forth in his sermonic talks and lectures were always literary gems of the first water. He was a great organizer and as such, succeeded in making St. Stephen's church one of the strongest Negro Episcopal Churches in the country. Quiet of djposition; modest and unassuming, but polite and respectful to all, Rev. Bright numbered among his many friends some of the most prominent citizen of both races of our city.
While Savannahians in general regret to have him leave them, they rejoiced to read that he goes to a larger field of usefulness. Although he has left us, the work which he has accomplished among us will stand as an enduring monument to his memory. It is the sincere desire of the hundreds of friends of Rev. Bright of both races that his work in the new field will be both congenial and useful and that long and prosperous years may be spared him in which to round out the many great ideas in the interest of humanity with which his mind is fraught.
Odd-Fellows at Dublin, Ga.
The Deputies and Supervisors Institute of the Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows of Georgia, met in its annual session at Dublin, Ga., on yesterday. The deputies and supervisors and their specials from all over the state are in attendance also the grand officers of the Odd Fellows and Household. The Savannah delegation left on Thursday morning. The results of this meeting are eagerly awaited by the members of the Order as it is expected that much legislation will be done which will have a bearing upon Grand Lodge session which meets in Savannah, in August.
New Bleachers In Bull Park Much Appreciated
The new bleacher stands that have been erected in the base ball park by the management have proven quite a boost to the bleacherites and are much appreciated. The new stands are much more,convenient and comfortable than the old stand and the Colored patronage to the park is being increased daily on account of them. The baseball management is very desirous of doing all in its power to add to the comfort of the Negro patrons and solicits their unstinted support.

A Sad Death at Brunswick, 614
On last Friday night June 27th, many hearts were filled with sorrow, when the news of Mrs Maggie Bryan's death were heard. A more beautiful life has never lived. A pious, consistent christian, always ready to defend the church of God; a friend who never betrayed a trust; a loving mother, who tenderly watched over and prayed for her fatherless children. She was twice a widow, her first husband, Mr. James Carter, brother of Mr. H. B. Garnett, died leaving her with three small children, whom she carefully reared and today they are filling places of trust. Her second husband, Rev J. C. Bryan, died several years ago, and left her with two little girls, who have been cared for and educated by their two brothers, William and James Carter, two of the most dutiful sons and brothers that ever lived. Their good deeds will ever be remembered, and their examples shining lights f or others to follow. The funeral took place from the First Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. John Williams, spoke in beautiful words to a vast audience; he was assisted by Rev. Ford of Bethel Church, Jacksonville, Fla. Rev. S. Roberts and Rev. Fisher. To mourn her loss are five children, Prof. W. M. Carter, President, Topeka N. and I. College, Topeka, Kans.; James G. Carter, Consular to Madagascar; Mrs. Maggie Carter Lewis, Misses Nita and Edna Bryan, two brothers, Mr. C. A. Clark, Mr. Wm. Clark, three sisters. Mrs. I. M. Jones, Mrs. Julia Robinson, Mrs. Ellie Moore, a devoted aunt, Mrs. Corine Delaney and many other relatives and friends. Death is sad! but there's is comfort in the words of the poet:

An Appeal for the Admil nistra
To the members of the Grand Lodge K. of P. throughout Georgia;
I have been one of the steering committee for the support of our present administration which is to take place during the week commencing July 7th, 1913, at Brunswick, and beg to submit my ideas about it.
Now we are aware of the fact that we are going to meet with a host of bravados at our convention, but if we go there contending for the right things, and we have been in the order long enough to know that our ideas are right, and put God in front of us, I will assure you that we will come out more than conquerer. Now brothers, the thing we want and the thing we are going to have, is our present administration! Just think what these or a part of our Grand Officers that we have in office now, have done for order in the part. They have brought the order (together with the assistance of our devoted C. D. Creswill, which fell to his lot to visit the great beyond) to take the place where it exceeds any of the Colored organizations in the world. Now why not give them more chance to reap some of the benefits from their labor, I venture to say that we have just as intelligent, honest and noble men who are leading our order to day in this jurisdiction as any other state in the union.
Now, dear brothers, the good ones that are opposing us, we do not intend to say that we will never have them in office, but we do say, give the present administration more time. Now you take the Grand Lodge officers from the Grand Chancellor down to the Grand Outer Guard, and if, you show me where they are causing the order to go to degradation and causing the order to grow weaker instead of stronger, I will show you where the sun rises in the west instead of the east, and as I have fore said we have the men or officers we want and are satisfied with them, and they are the ones we must have to lead us a while longer on our journey. Good brothers, let me insist that when the several delegations leave our homes let us start our march towards victory as Sherman did November 16, 1864, when he left Atlanta and began his "March to the Sea." Brothers, we can have the same victory.
Asking through this paper that this appeal be published through every Colored paper in the state and again asking that it be considered by every well wisher of the order, and thanking you for the space and due consideration
I am yours in F. C. B. Donald Thomas
P. S. There is no need for me to appeal to the Macon deligation because I know the sentiment of them. (Solid for Present Administration)ady

When'er we speak your loving name
Our eyes with tears are wet;
Oh! son, how we loved you,
And love cannot forget.
The Lord took you from us,
It was His holy will,
And left in our heart a vacancy;
Which no one else can fill.
But in our saddest moments,
One happy thought holds sway.
We will meet again, dear son,
And be happy some sweet day.
Mother, Brothers and Sisters.
In memory of.
Mrs HATTIE CAMPBELL,
Who died July 1, 1911.
Dear mother, how we miss you;
Since you have gone away;
It has been two years ago,
Thought it seems but yesterday.
Gone, but not forgotten,
We all still love you dear,
And even though your voice is stilled,
We feel that you are near.
It fills our hearts with sadness,
To see your vacant place,
We long to hear the voice we loved,
And see the dear sweet face.
Not now, but in the coming years,
Perhaps we'll understand,
Why God took you from us, mother
dear,
To live in His beautiful, happy land.

Necessity was the Mother of the Remington
WHEN the need of the typewriter came to the business world, the Remington came. Others followed. Remington was the first typewriter—it is still the first typewriter.
First in the field, the Remington organization began building experience, step by step, from the actual practice of typewriter users—always a step or two in advance of the users' need. Other makes followed.
Today the Remington Typewriter stands unique as the greatest revolutionizer, the greatest energizer the commercial world has ever seen. And by no means least of its beneficiaries are all other makes of typewriters—for the Remington created the typewriter industry and blazed the way—for the others to follow.
12,500,000 Remington-written letters mailed in the United States alone every business day in the year.
That tells the story of Remington pre-eminence, of the confidence of captains of commerce in it, of the faith of tens of thousands of efficient employees, of the limitless selection in choice of operators and choice of positions—the machine that has made work for the millions, and millions for the work.

Mattie Thomas, a white inmate of the tenderloin district, attempted suicide by taking four tablets of highloride of mercury.
E. B. B. Church
Sunday being the fifth Sunday, was Children's day. These exercises are always interesting and largely attended by the children. Rev. Wright spoke forcibly on the work in the Sunday School and of its need. At night the church was crowded. Rev. Wright read for the lesson St. John 31:1-13. His text was from St. John 19:25-26. The subject was "Nearness to the Cross." It was a beautiful sermon showing how we should live and treat our neighbors and we would not fear death. The choir rendered beautiful music.
Coal Consumption:
It gives an impressive idea of the immensity of the international trade carried on in vessels to read that 55,000,000 tons of coal are consumed in a year in the furnaces of ships employed in international commerce.
Colonial Fear of Lawyers.
In the columns of the New York Gazetteer of Sept. 8, 1788, there was a paragraph lamenting the increase of lawyers as threatening to the future prosperity of the community and degrading to freemen. "An honest trade in former days," said the writer, "was all that people of common ability and education were ambitious of, but now no profession is genteel but the lawyer and the merchant. The lawyers are now creeping into every post of importance and thrusting themselves wherever there is a vacancy. Our congress, our assembly, are crowded with them, and even in our great commercial convention there are five lawyers to one merchant."
The Need For Water
Water constitutes about two-thirds of the weight of the body and enters into the composition of all the tissues and fluids. To keep the necessary proportion a large quantity needs to be ingested. One of the great dietetic errors is the neglect to take a sufficient quantity. The amount found in foods is insufficient, and about five cupfuls should be taken daily in beverages. A vegetable diet diminishes the need of water, while one composed largely of animal food increases this need.
No Romance.
"You remember that note I put in the pocket of one of the coats we shipped out?" said the first seamstress.
"Get an answer?" inquired her chum.
"Yes; got a letter today from the man who bought the coat. He enclosed a needle and requested me to thread it. Said the buttons were not sewed on very well."—Kansas City Journal.
Has His Own Center of Population.
Little George had a heavy and rather intractable head of anburn hair which defied his mother's efforts to make it look well groomed. One day, after much brushing, she stopped and said:
"Oh, George, I cannot make your hair go the right way, it is so thick!"
George turned quickly and replied:
"If you think my hair is thick you just-ought to see that boy's across the street. He has the most thickly populated head you ever saw."—Kansas City Star.
A Wonderful Cataract
The falls of Iguazu, situated near where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet, form one of the most wonderful cataracts in the world, being greater in extent and more varied in character than the better known falls of Niagara. The first plunge of the Iguazu falls is 210 feet, followed by two others of 100 feet each, while between the two series of falls there are cataracts and rapids covering a vast expanse and surrounding picturesque islands.
LET US BE MEN.
Let us devote ourselves to those great objects that are fit for our consideration and action; let us raise our conceptions to the magnitude and importance of the duties that devolve upon us; let our comprehension be as broad as our country, our aspirations as high as its certain destiny; let us not be pygmies in a case that calls for men.-Daniel Webster.
Notwithstanding its excellence as a fungicide for bushes and trees, lime-sulphur spray has been found to be unfit for use in controlling blight in potatoes. The spray injured the vines and, as a result, reduced their growth and the yield of tubers.
Spring kids will breed that fall if they have an opportunity, but to allow them to breed before the next fall, when eighteen to twenty-two months old, will make them useless as milkers. They never recover from the stunting effects and exhaustion of bearing kids too early.
There is nothing in the buttermaking process that will kill disease germs that might have been contained in the cream. This means that both butter and buttermilk may contain the bacillus of tuberculosis and other diseases, and one is no better off because he refrains from drinking the buttermilk, yet eats the butter.
Manure is money. There is no discounting this conclusion, and any landowner who doesn't believe it and proves he doesn't believe it by the way he robs his soil is making a great mistake that will soon stare him in the face. All soil is depleted soonor or later, and that farm comes to the turn the soonest to which nothing is given back.
Feeding a lamb by hand is often made necessary in case of the death of the dam, but it is an undertaking that takes a good deal of attention. The youngster has to be fed about every two hours, and, on top of this, whole cow's milk should be used. If it does not test as high as 6 per cent a little cream should be added to it and a little sugar.
The farmer needs and should receive a reasonable protection in the pursuit he follows as expressed in moderate protective duties, but at the present stage of the game the man who seems to be most in need of public sympathy on this score is the fellow who is trying to support a family of six or eight on $1.75 a day with meat and other necessaries soaring constantly higher. It is this fellow who is put to it to make both ends meet.
Some folks would call this man queer. He came in from doing his chores one Sunday morning some time ago and, finding that plans were being made for a swell dinner, gave orders to have the stuff put away for another day. This wasn't because he was queer necessarily, but because he thought his wife was entitled to a little rest on the day set apart for rest. This is a type of consideration that ought to be practiced more than it is.
Three per cent of all hogs that are slaughtered under federal supervision are infected with tuberculosis. The percentage of hogs affected with the disease has increased considerably within the past half dozen years.' The chief sources of spreading the disease are the use of the skimmilk and buttermilk from tubercular cows and the practice of having hogs follow feeding cattle that are affected with the disease and consuming the offal thrown out from slaughter houses.
A level headed farmer with whom the writer talked the other day remarked, in the course of a conversation explaining that his hired hand had been with him three years, that he found it worth while using tact in his treatment of him. He amplified this by saying that he tried as a rule to let his man have his own way or do things largely in his own way when there was nothing to be lost by so doing. This man has largely solved in his own case one of the worst aspects of the hired help problem.
Where there is water under pressure in the house equal to about forty pounds to the square inch very good use may be made of the water motors for furnishing power for doing light forms of work, such as running the washing machine, sewing machine, and the like. Motors costing in the neighborhood of $3 are made which can be screwed on to the ordinary faucet, the waste water running off through the slink. The motor is fitted with a belt wheel, which drives the wheel of the machine to be used.
---
While there is no telling what the season may bring forth along the line of weather conditions, the writer is of the opinion that any one who has the right kind of land for them would not go far wrong in planting a fair area to early potatoes. The seed is cheap. While there is an abundance of late potatoes held over from last season, which will tend to discourage high prices early in the season, these early potatoes may be wanted for seed the following spring at a good price. What is said of early potatoes applies equally to late potatoes.
A Canadian subscriber of an American agricultural paper tells of an interesting yet simple method of securing a summer's supply of ice. Briefly, it was to make an excavation, as for a cellar, 10 by 12 feet and 5 feet deep. Into this he poured gradually, as fast as it would freeze solid from the bottom, clean water. By the time cold weather was over this hole was full of solid ice, and he then covered it with about two feet of wild hay. He suggests that the ice will last much longer if it is given a sod house covering. This Canadian makes practical cold storage use of this arrangement by putting in a hog carcass or a half beef and letting it freeze in with the ice. In the spring as the ice melts around the meat it is cut off and eaten

Imitation Diamonds.
No imitation of the diamond is so brilliant as the skillfully cut piece of the kind of lead glass known in the trade as "paste." The play of color in these counterfeits is often very beautiful, but the glass "diamond" possesses no luster, this term being applied to the light reflected from the top surface of the gem. The flashes of light and color that give brilliancy come from the interior, being thrown from the rear surface of the stone. The glass diamond is soft and is attacked chemically by a number of things with which it comes in contact by year, for both of which reasons it soon becomes dulled. — Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Hardened Case.
"Husband, you have never given me any money since we have been married. Now, I positively must have $50." "Aw, here's a dollar. What are you going to do with it?" "I think I'd better frame it as a souvenir." "In that case hand it back and I'll give you a check instead." — Kansas City Journal.
For the Tea Table.
A woman who has lived abroad for many years where they make a cup of tea as carefully as they make a cake says the lemon should never be cut until it is to be used. Have a small, sharp knife on the table and cut each slice as desired, never cutting a dishful of lemons to stand for an hour or even a few minutes.
A good tidbit for the tea table can be made with biscuit and marmalade. Break each piece in two, making thou-squares; put on a row of Neufchatel cheese around the edge and a drop of orange or tangerine marmalade in the center. This makes just the right sized wafer and has a luscious flavor.
Instead of lemon in the tea try a maraschino cherry and a teaspoonful of the wine that comes with them. Or another flavor that may be used in tea is ruh. This is called Russian tea. One uses no sugar or cream or lemon and just a teaspoonful of rum.
Pulled Bread.
Remove the crust from fresh bread and tear the center in small pieces with two forks. Dry in a very slow oven until crisp all through. The center of biscuits may be prepared in the same way. Or take a freshly baked loaf and while it is still warm pull the inside out of it in, pieces a little smaller than the palm of your hand. Bake the pieces on a floured baking tin in a hot oven until they are of a delicate brown color, when they should be crisp and of a nice nutty flavor. These are most desirable.
A SIMPLE TESTING METHOD.
The cheapest as well as one of the best methods of testing seed corn is by the rag doll method. This plan requires a strip of cotton flannel cloth anywhere from twenty to forty inches long and eight or ten inches wide. Lengthwise of the smooth side in the center of the strip should be drawn a line with a soft pencil. At intervals of three inches and at right angles to this should be drawn cross lines. Beginning at one end (a space of about seven inches should be left at this end) the spaces should be numbered back and forth from left to right. After being marked and numbered the cloth should be moistened, which will serve the better to keep the kernels of corn in place. Take the ears of corn to be tested and give each a number, beginning with "1," by fastening a small strawboard label to the butt of each ear by means of an eightpenny nail shoved full length into the pith. Then take six kernels, three from each opposite side so that the tip, middle and butt of the ear will be represented. Kernels from ear No. 1 should be put in space No. 1 and so on. When the kernels are all in place the strip of cloth bearing the kernels to be tested should be rolled up carefully and rather firmly so as to hold the kernels in place. When the roll is finished it should be tied at the end and middle with a piece of binding twine. Germination will be hastened if the "rag doll" is soaked in a dish of warm water for a period of from eighteen to twenty-four hours. It should then be put in a pan or box of sufficient depth and covered with sawdust or mellow earth and put in a warm place and at th same time kept moist. At the end of five days the test should be ready to read. It should be unrolled carefully so that the kernels will stay in place. The kernels in each space should be examined, and their condition, whether dead, strong or weak, should be marked on the tag fastened to the ear having the corresponding number. These ears may be classified according to the reading as one goes along or after the ears are read, as one desires. Any boy or girl can conduct this test once they understand the principle of it. The advantages of this method over the testing box method are ease of handling and inexpensiveness. For these reasons there is no excuse for any farmer guessing as to the condition of his seed corn.
FARM COMFORTS.
The writer visited a modern yet not expensive farm home the other day and could but notice that it was fitted up with every convenience of the town home, barring the single exception of electric lights. There were hot and cold hard and soft water on tap on two floors, a fully equipped toilet and in the cellar a furnace heating plant. The cellar was cemented throughout, thus reducing dust and dampness to a minimum. The feature to which the men in this home called especial attention was the bathtub that they said they were in the habit of making frequent use of during the hot, dusty weather of the spring and early summer, when the tilling of the fields was in progress. Farm work is hard enough at best, but it is immensely simplified, from the housewife's standpoint especially, in a home with such modern conveniences. Life on many a farm ought to be transformed by the providing of these conveniences. The old ratty, ill lighted, stove heated dwelling should be torn down and a modern house built in its stead. We are a long time dead, and it is a pretty good thing to have some of these comforts as we go along when we have the capacity to enjoy them.
WHAT THEY ATE.
In the feeding test which is being made in connection with the national egg laying contest at Mountain Grove, Mo., some interesting things are being noted. It has been found that since these tests started ten hens that have had twenty-eight kinds of feed before them have eaten just the same amounts of wheat and corn and about three times as much of these two feeds as of any other one kind of feed. Rolled oats, millet and sunflower seeds came next in order in the amounts consumed. Of the ready ground feeds very small quantities were eaten, which would seem to indicate that the hen knows why the good Lord gave her a gizzard. About equal quantities of water and buttermilk were consumed. In connection with this feeding test it is also noted that the hens that selected the above ration on their own hook produced the most eggs.
INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS.
The active ranging habit of the Indian Runner duck is nicely shown in the observation of a reader of these notes of a flock of these birds one day last summer. A passing wagon had spilled a streak of oats for a half mile or more in either direction from their headquarters, and during the day our friend and his neighbors saw this flock of Indian Runners along the road in both directions from their home picking up the grains that lay in the road. They kept at it all day and when it grew dark came filing home. It is this activity of this breed of ducks, coupled with their hardiness and remarkable egg laying capacity, that makes them so highly prized. Two other points in their favor are that they are immune from roup and other kindred complaints and are not bothered by lice or mites.

fon of tho third prize cow at the

colleée,
age it is taking about two quarts at a
feed twiee a day. A very large strong
calf might take a little more.
At this age we bezin to take away
some of the whole milk and substitute
separator milk, usually taking eight or
yen Gays to make the complete chance.
Inv rcase the quantity of milk but little
stirng this time, and it may be necos-
sary actually to fecd less, as most
valves will stand more whole milk
tha separatot milk.
At about two weeks of age the calf
will begin to eat a little hay and grain,
«lover bay Js preferable, but any good,
britht hay will do. Give all it will
est For grain we use a wheat bran
and oi meal, Begin with a small
hun@fut of bran and a spoonful of oil
aeal and increase as the calf shows
ability to digest and assimilate more
until at five or six months of age we
may be feeding a pailful of milk and
“yoe quart of grain at a feed, with all
the hay they will eat.
It usually does not pay to continue
the milk much longer than six months,
but it should be taken away gradually
so that the calf gets no setback.
Some salt where the calf can help her-
self is a good way to salt or a pinch
may be added to the grain. Very lit-
tle fs necded for the first two or three
months. Calves will doubtless grow
faster for an extra feed at noon, but
the extra growth may not pay for the
extra Igbor. Very much depends upon,
ie skill and judgment of the feeder
innd his love for the work.
Winter Loss In Fodder.
‘The enormous loss of nutrients in
corn fodder every year certainly points
to the need of some change in the
method of handling. On farms where
the general practice of gathering into
shocks Is followed and the fodder al-
lowed to stand in the field until fed
often half of the feeding value Is lost.
It 1s surprising how few farmers pre-
yent these losses. The excuse gener-
ally offered is that “I hare no barn
room for it, and I cannot afford to
bulid a barn just for fodder.” Perhaps
he is right in this statement, It would
hardly pay to construct 2 complete
barn just for fodder, but is a barn
necessary? .iny ood roof that sheds
water will stand against the destruc-
tlon by elements. Simply plant four
uprights cut from good straight trees
and at the top make a cheap water-
‘proof roof. It adds to the convenience
to have the roof rest on pegs so that
it can be raised and lowered at will.
Such a barrack js easily and cheaply
built and will last for years. It saves
at least 20 per cent of the feeding
value of the stover.
Alfalfa Fine For Horses.
‘The Utah experiment station found
that 2,400 pound horses at hard work
could be maintained in condition on
826 pounds of alfalfa hay per day,
find ‘when at rest twenty pounds was
sufictent for the same horses. Secre-
tary of Agriculture F. D. Colburn of
Kansas says: “The idea that alfaifa
aay is not suitable for horses has been
Proved erroneous by thousands of
farmers, teamsters and liverymen.
Many use no other hay. If there is
any trouble it comes from feedinz
more than is needed. With access to
unlimited quantities horses may injure
themselves by eating too much. From
ten to twenty pounds of alfalfa hay
per day, with a small quantity of

and the family and guests, if there are
many of the latter, indulge In a rea-
sonably leisurely meal, with a little in-
teresting conversation thrown in as an
entree, so to speal. I am sure that
you agree with me, and it is only be-
tween such good friends like you and
me, dear, that I would run the risk of
such a breach of etiquette as to dis-
cuss a meal at which I was an honored
guest,
To begin with, the tablecloth was on
crooked, and the lace ceuterpiece was
fit-for nothing save the ministrations
of the laundress. There were no flow-
ers, not even a fern dish, in the middle
of the board. aud I do like some green-
ery to look at, don't yon? .And then
we didn't have a particle of time to
talk. The family set the pace and pos-
itively raced through their food.
You know my failing; dear, of get-
ting in a story every now and then.
Well, there wasn't the slightest oppor-
tunity to tell evox Woodrow Wilson's
latest witticism. for I'd no sooner start
to tell an ancédote than I'd look round
and see that both my Lost and hostess
had lony ago finished that particular
course nud were impatiently waiting
for ine to male :m gnd of it so that the
maid could clear away the dishes. Nat
urally all there was for me to do was
to put a short stop on my pet story,
gup down the last mouthful and lay
down arms, allas fork.
and that’s the way it went on all
through the dinner. Can you wonder
that I was disgruntled? The IIs alt
acted as if they were trying to catch
a train and had only the usual ten
minutes for refreshments. But, my
dear, when we got into the drawing.
room there was absolutely nothing to
do. The family are not musical, they
loathe bridge, and their conversational
abilities seem to haxe rusted from
want of exercise. 1 was too cross by |
this time to make an effort and help
them out.
Now, what do you reckon makes nice
People act like that? You say per-
haps that some of us get Into the habit
of rapid eating and don't stop to think
about others. Possibly, but it would
be a fine plan to get ont of the prac-
tice, especially when there are guests
present.
Mother always sald that one's breed-
ing showed itself more quickly at table
than, anywhere else, and I think she
was right. A man or woman may
have a fine mind and refined instincts,
and yet through ignorance commit all
sorts of gaucheries at the table, but
there was 0 excuse on,earth for the
Hs acting as they did”
Now, I am going to tell you about a
bride eléct’'s Iuncheon I attended,
which was charming in every respect.
The table decorations were simple yet
very effective, consisting of a shallow
silvered basket filled with lilies of the
valley, delicate ferns and a few pink’
rosebuds. ‘This basket was placed on
a circular mirror in the center of the
table, and the frame was concealed
with a wreath of ferns, lilies and pink
rosebuds dotted here and there in the
greenery. |
At each plate was a small bunch of
valley lilies with one pink rosebrtd
tied together with silver gauze. The
bride elect’s place was designated by
a wreath of pink rosebuds and ferns,
and at the back of her chair, tled with
the gauze.ribbon, was a similar bunch
of rosebuds. Pink candles in silver
candlesticks, were used, with mie
shades wreathed with pink rosebuds.
Rolls, croquettes, ices and cakes were
in heart shapes and heart shaped cases
of pink and white held bonbons and
nuts. This floral decoration would be
pretty to use at your club luncheon.
So you are going to redecorate your
living room and want me to select
the paper! Well, it’s a great responsi-
bility, but’ as I can easily shed wor-
ries here goes for better or worse. By
all means use an oatmeal paper. It is
2 rough effect in paper that is being
much used just now, and when a plain
wall covering is desired there is noth-
ing better in comparatively cheap
papering than the oatmeal.
For your room I would use oatmeal

As a rule, a pure bred anfmal will
fetch from one-half to twice as mmch

It is a treat that only those who hare

While the hg has the reputation of
being one of the dirtiest of farm ant-
inuls, probably because of its inborn
instinct to seek a wallow on a hot day,
it is nevertheless one of the cleanest
of animals in the matter of keeping its

this respect it exéels the horse, cow

It is reported that 36,000,000 lady-

Wonders can be done with scrubby

For this purpose lye is excellent, given

‘The chemical composition of linseed
ofl meal and cottonseed meal given in
ferms of digestible nutrtents is as
follows: Linseed oi! meal, protein 30.2
pounds, carbohydrates 32 pounds, fat
‘3.0 pounds; total nutrients 77.7 pounds;
cottonseed meal,~protein 37.6 pounds,
carbohydrates 214 pounds, fat 9.6
pounds; total nutrients, 80.6 pounds.
It will be observed that the chemical
composition of these two feeds Is
much the same, says Hoard’s Dairy-
man—that is, they are rich in protein
and fat, cottonseed meal containing
a-lttle more total nutrients than oil-
meal and being richer in both protein
and fat.
Linseed ofl meal has other qualities
to commend itself to the feeder than
simply its composition. Experiments
have shown that when animals are
kept upon dry feeds a handful to a
pound of ollmeal daily to each anfmal
helps keep the digestive-tract In good
condition—that is, it helps keep the
bowels loose, Where silage, roots or
any succulent feed ‘is fed oilmeal Is
not particularly necessary from this
standpoint.
Cottonseed meal, as shown by its
composition, is a splendid feed and
can often be used when there is a lack
of protein, One to two pounds daily

‘The pure bred Holstein bull Jo-

with shown, heads the herd at the
Minnesota Insane asylum. For sev-
eral years the policy’ of introducing
pure blood and testing out the loaf-
ers has been followed at the instl-
tution, The resuit has been that
more than twice as much’ milk is

only half as many cows as under
the former haphazard methods. The
present herd is composed of pure
bred and grade Holsteins and for
four months averaged over four
gallons of milk per cow per day.
may be incorporated in the ration to
advantage, especially with farm grown
grains. It is somewhat constipating
and does not work into a ration as well
as linseed-oll meal when there {s no
succulence.
Cottonseed meal has a tendency to
produce a firmer bodied butter. If fed
in too large quantities the butter will
have a tallowy appearance. On the
other hand, linseed of] meal has a tend.
ency to produce a soft butter. When
there fs an abundance of alfalfa and
clover it is somewhat doubtful wheth-
er very much, if any, of either of these
feeds can be used to advantage, for,
as a rule, where protein is not needed
and the dietetic effect upon the anl-
mal’s digestion is not required they
are rather more expensive than some
other feeds which may be selected.
A mixture consisting of 600 pounds
ground corn and cob meal and, 200
pounds cottonseed meal will go very
well with an allowance of thirty
pounds of corn silage and a liberal al-
lowance of alfalfa and clover hay giv-
en daily to cach animal. One pound
of this grain mixture to cach three
and a half to four pounds of average
testing milk produced should give very
g90d satisfaction.
‘We believe, however, that If the corn
and cob meal could be mised with
‘some lighter fecd, like distillers’ grains,
brewers’ grain or bran, it would give
as good results, if not better, for the
fecds we have mentioned would light-
en the grain portion of the ration,
which we believe is of more impor-
tance, since there are sufficient ele-
ments of every kind in the other feeds
to meet the requirements of the ani-
