VOLUME XXVIII The Convention of Knights Ended GRAND CHANCELLOR HUTTO AND HIS COLLEAGUES RE-ELECTED Administration Forces Had But Little Opposition—Savannah Wins Band Contest—Much Wholesome Legislation—Parade Very Inspiring—Royal Company Among Prize Winners. The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias which met in Brunswick, Ga., this week was one of the most successful and harmonious sessions of that body in recent years. The business of the Grand Lodge was dispatched with unusual celerity and much wholesome legislation was carried through. The attendance at this last session of the Grand Lodge was perhaps the largest in the history of the order, and all during Monday, the day on which the convention opened, the immense crowds that came into Brunswick made that city appear several times its real size. As each city's delegation would arrive there would be much cheering and especially so if the delegates were accompanied by a band. The second days' session of the Grand Lodge was a very busy one. The annual address was delivered by Rev. J. M. Nabrit, of Augusta. It was a masterly effort and he advised the members of the order to be loyal to the flag of their country. Rev. Nabrit's address was about thirty minutes in duration and thoroughly enjoyed by the members of the order. The ease with which the Hutto forces carried the election of officers of the Grand Lodge on Wednesday morning was the topic of much discussion, for it had been expected that the Stoney forces had developed considerable strength and would give the administration a hot flight for the offices. The election was held early Wednesday and much enthusiasm was manifested just prior to the election. It took but a short time to elect the officers as the opposition to the administration, seeing that it was weak, withdrew and the entire Hutto staff of officers was re-elected by acclamation. The grand prize drill was held at the baseball park on Thursday morning, was participated in by 25 companies and was particularly closely contestd. It was decined as follows: Class A, first prize, Union Company, Macon, $100; second prize, Hannibal Company, Macon, $65; third prize, Damon Company, Augusta, $35. Class B, first prize, Royal Company, Savannah, $15; Lilly White, of Columbus, and Starks, of Fitzgerald, tied for second place and third. The prize drill among the Courts of Calanthe resulted as follows: C. A. Catledge Company, of Macon, $25, first prize; Swatiska Company, of Atlanta, $15, second prize; R. C. Cody Company, of Macon, $10, third prize. Cadets' Contest—Maceo Company 7, first prize; Cresswell Company 8, second prize. The band contest was the most spirited of all and was contested between the Second Regiment band of Augusta, and the First Regiment band of Savannah. The prize was awarded to the Savannah band. During the encampment several band concerts were given by the visiting bands and they were very much enjoyed. The uniform ranks broke camp Thursday morning and by night practically half of the visitors were on their way home. The sessions of the Courts of Calanthe were very interesting and were presided over by Mrs. R. L. Barnes of this city, grand worthy counsellor. The financial report of the courts was shown to be excellent, and the membership was increased greatly during the year. Mrs. Barnes was unanimously re-elected to the office which she has filled so creditably for so many years. The following are the officers elected: G. N. Stoney, Augusta, P. G. C.; Geo. R. Hutto, Bainbridge, G. C.; W. T. Reid, Macon, G. V. Savannah BUSINESS MEN-CARRIERS' GAME MONDAY Receipts of Game Will be Given to Old Folks and Orphans' Home Building Fund On next Monday afternoon, July 14th, the team of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association will play the Letter Carriers at the baseball park in what is expected to be one of the most interesting contests of the season. The admirers of both teams will be out in full strength and a battle royal is looked for. Both teams are in fairly good condition; the battle for supremacy will be eagerly watched by those in attendance. The entire gate receipts will be donated to the building fund of the Old Folks and Orphans' Home Association and on account of this fact it is anticipated that many who do not particularly find pleasure in an exhibition of the national game will be present to help this worthy movement along. The Business and Professional Men's team is making its initial appearance in this game and Manager Perry R. Wright is confident that his men can turn the trick against the Letter Carriers. The latter, on the other hand, feel certain that they will be able to make the introductory game of the Business and Professional Men's team a sad one, and that they will also be able to redeem themselves of their defeat of last month. The game will begin promptly at 4:30 o'clock and the admission to the park will be fifteen cents for adults and ten cents for children. The umpires will be Dr. N. W. Este and Prof. S. A. Grant. The two teams will line up' as follows: Bus. and Prof. Men Letter Carriers C. Maxwell c Dilworth G. Shaw p Harrison Dr. Middleton 1st b J. Green J Butler 2nd b A. Monroe Dr. Tyson 3rd b E. Green B.

Parris Supplies for Summer at St. Stephen's Church The summer services at St. Stephen's Episcopal church will be in charge of Rev. H. A.-Parris, who arrived in the city last Sunday morning and conducted his initial services here that day. A very appreciative crowd of communicants of the church and friends was out at both services last Sunday and was much impressed with Rev. Parris. Rev. Parris has pastored at St. Mark's Charleston, S. C., and is taking the medical course at Leonard Medical College, Raleigh, N. C. The Sunday services at St. Stephen's begin at 11 o'clock in the morning and at 8:15 o'clock in the evening. The public is cordially invited to hear Rev. Parris. The Frances E. W. Harper Circle Goes on Annual Outing Next Friday The thirteenth annual outing of the Frances E. W. Harper Circle will be given on next Friday and bids fair to be one of the most enjoyable affairs ever given by the circle. The outing will be given to Beaufort, S. C., and, judging from reports, one of the largest crowds that have ever accompanied the circle will be on hand. The popularity of the annual outings of this circle increases each year, and those who have been invited to go, and it is strictly an invitational affair, may consider themselves very fortunate. The circle, whose officers are Miss C. Emma Lewis, president; and Miss G. A. Hurd, secretary, will leave on its outing at eight o'clock in the morning. C.; A. W. Bryant, Savannah, G. P.; B. W.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1913 Odd Fellows' Deputies and Supervisors Met REPORTS OF THE OFFICERS SHOWED INCREASE OF ORDER Institute Endorsed Ticket—Literary Exercises Very Enjoyable—Grand Secretary Addressed Body—Citizens Very Cordial The Deputies and Supervisors' Institute of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia, which met in Dublin, Ga., on last Friday was attended by about two hundred members of the order from all parts of the state. The meeting was opened by the grand master, B. S. Ingram of Macon, and was one of the most interesting in the history of the institute. Immediately after the opening ceremonies the grand master installed the chief deputy, A. D. Jones as president, and chief supervisor, Miss Lucile Dennis, vice president, who took charge of the meeting. The reports which were rendered by the deputies and supervisors were very favorable, showing all the divisions, with but a few exceptions, to be greatly increased. The literary programs both on Thursday and Friday nights were of a very high order and very much enjoyed by all present. Grand Secretary, B. J. Davis, delivered a splendid address on Friday night, to a packed house. The address was upon all lines of progress and was indeed interesting. Among the important matters taken up by the institute was that of the approaching election of officers at the Grand Lodge which will meet in this city next month. The ticket brought in by the resolution committee and endorsed was as follows: W. L. Hughes, grand master; E. A. Fields, deputy grand master; B. J. Davis, secretary; R. H. Cobb, treasurer; J. A. Grant, grand director; M. B. Morton, Rev. W. D. Johnson and L. E. Hall, auditors. The present administration of the Household of Ruth was endorsed. The citizens of Dublin were very hospitable to the visitors and tendered them every courtesy in their power. The next meeting will be at Atlanta, Ga. At a meeting held at Charity Hospital, July 9th, the former students of Charity Hospital Training School for Nurses effected a temporary organization of the Charity Hospital Association of former students. Temporary officers were Dr. W. C. Blackman, president; Mrs. Emma Collier, vice president; Mrs. S. L. Maiden, secretary and Miss Ellen Gross, treasurer. The object of the meeting was to form an organization to bring the former students into closer union and to advance the interests of the school and hospital. Much enthusiasm was manifested and at the next meeting it is hoped to have a permanent organization effected. All former students are invited to attend the next meetieg to be held at Charity Hospital' on next Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. During the past six months there have been many donations made to the hospital by friends of the institution. The hospital is very grateful for any assistance which its friends can give it and wishes to express its thanks for the following gifts received during the past six months: Dr. G. W. Smith $3.00; Mrs. J. D. Weed, annual donation through Mrs. Lucy Lucas $50.00; Yape 25 cts; Mrs. Jessie Carr 25c; St. Stephen's Sunday School $10.00; Mrs. Flournoy 25c; Dr. J. C.

In a letter to the public by the curators of Carnegie library, signed by the chairman, Mr. A. L. Tucker, an appeal is made for fifteen hundred dollars to purchase an additional forty-five feet of ground on which the proposed Carnegie Library may be built. The campaign for funds for this institution was begun a little over two years ago and the curators of the library have succeeded in raising a sufficient amount of money to pay for just half the number of feet of land on which it was hoped to erect the building, which will be the gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The site chosen by the board of curators for the erection of the building is on the south side of Henry street, just opposite Dixon Park, and is an admirable spot for an institution of this kind. It was, and is still, the hope of the curators to purchase ninety feet of land, and have the library erected just midway of this plot, with sufficient space on either side of the building to allow the building to show up well, to have adequate light from all sides and to be sufficiently far removed from any other building to insure the patrons of the library perfect quiet. In order to have this aim carried out, the curators would have to raise approximately $3,000, but to date they have been able to secure only half this amount, and, therefore, the appeal which is made in the following letter is in behalf of the raising of the additional money that is needed by the curators to carry out this original plan. The drawings of the building have been on exhibition in Scott Bros' window, West Broad and Gwinnett streets, since Wednesday and have attracted much attention, and it is expected that many who have not yet given anything to the purchasing of the site for the building will do so shortly. The letter from the chairman of the board of curators reads: TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF SAVANNAH. Please note the drawing of the Colored Public Library in the window of the store of Scott Brothers. That it is creditable it cannot be denied. The plans and specifications have been sent to Mr. Carnegie's representative. As soon as they are approved and returned, bids for actual construction of this building will be called for and it is sincerely hoped that before the Christmas of 1913 the Colored citizens of Savannah will be in the full possession and enjoyment of the facilities of this splendid library building. But listen: The curators have purchased and paid for 45 feet. The other 45 feet—221 feet each on the east and west sides of the building—have not been bought or paid for. It is the desire of the curators that $1,500 more be raised to purchase these additional 45 feet. Now after you know the building is a surety and after you know and see what kind of a building it is, will not at least 1,500 Colored citizens, men, women and children —pledge right now and contribute $1.00 each toward this amount? This is what the curators desire and this is what the Colored citizens of Savannah ought to do. Will you not do this right now so that this ground can be purchased? You may give your contributions or your pledges to any one of the curators. I start the movement by pledging $25.00. screen; St. Philip Monumental church 16 sheets, 24 pillow cases, 31 towels; Business and Professional Men's Association $1.25. Tribune PEKIN THEATER TO BE GREATLY ENLARGED Will Extend From Oak Street to Charles Lane and Have Beautiful Arcade In the near future the Pekin theater will undergo some very extensive improvements, which when finished, will make it one of the largest theatres in the country owned and managed by Negroes. During the past two months the necessity of more room has been very much in evidence, for at almost each performance during that time the crowds which have attended the shows have been too large for the house to, accommodate and many have been turned away. The house has just had a new front erected. It is stucco work and is very attractive in appearance. There are numerous electric globes ornamenting the front, which make the entrance to the house very brilliantly lighted. The further improvements to the house which Manager Styles anticipates making, include extending the house about 50 feet further back from West street and taking in the three small houses on Oak street in the rear of the building at the corner of West Broad and also the three small houses in Charles street lane, in the rear of the bakery. The present site of the theater proper will be used as an arcade. On one side of the arcade will be a confectionery stand and on the other will be a cigar stand. Aside from these features Manager Stiles has in mind other ideas which, if carried out, will make the entrance to the new theater the most attractive and unique of any theatrical house in the country owned by Negroes. By enlarging the house, as is planned, the capacity will be in the neighborhood of 1200 and all the latest ideas in appointment will be carried out. One of the greatest inconveniences which the house is laboring under at present, with its large stock company, is the small stage and this will be adequately remedied when the improvements are undertaken. Social Happenings Among the amusements of the fourth and entertainments of the week was a delightful picnic given on Bradley's Island, near Thunderbolt, Ga., for the younger set, chaperoned by Mrs. Alice F. Nicholson. The pleasure seekers were afforded many amusements. The guests were Misses Addie Lindsay, Marion Naigle, Alice A.

Spring entertained delightfully for her little daughter Marguerite preparatory to her leaving for New York to spend the summer with her God-parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Rogers. The home on Huntingdon street, west, was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the little ones presented a beautiful appearance. They danced from 4 to 7 o'clock, then Miss Lillie Spring played and they marched in the dining room where a long table was laden with good things to eat. Those present were Misses Lena Ford, Marietta Micheal, Otis Williams, Marjorie Smith, Helma Horne, Minnie Wilson, Vermell Stephens, Mercedes Hopkins, Barbara Hare, Anita Smith, Louise Simpson, Ophelia Hare, Florence Barnard, Iona Greene, Constance Anderson, Catherine Thorpe, Eliza Redd, Elise Stephens, Mildred Grant, Lillian Calhoun, Adele Hare, Jaunita Heyward, Georgia Hare, Mildred Cooper, Lillian Russell Minis, Gertrude Hill, Dorothy Spring, Marguerite Spring, Lillie Spring, Masters Andrew M.

Adjourns Monday DELEGATES IN ATTENDANCE NOT AS MANY AS WAS EXPECTED Sunday's Session to Attract Large Crowd—Prizes to be Awarded in the Afternoon—Farewell Session Monday Night Will be Reception by Business and Professional Men The National Baptist Young Peoples' Congress which convened at the First African Baptist church, Franklin square, on last Tuesday, will come to a close on Monday night, with a reception by the business and professional men. The congress has been somewhat disappointing in the number of delegates present, there being but about 150, many less than were expected by those in charge of the meeting; yet this lack of numbers has been more than made up by the enthusiasm and zeal of those in attendance It is said that the state which has sent the largest number is Florida, while Tennessee has furnished a quartette which has rendered several nights some of the most pleasing music heard in this city for quite a while. The speakers at the various sessions of the congress have presented their subjects in a telling manner and much good is expected to result from them. One of the aims of these meetings has been the teaching of the special B. Y. P. U.'s music and much time of each of the sessions has been taken up in learning this music. On tomorrow the morning sermon will be delivered to the Rev. R. B. Williams. In the afternoon will be a mass meeting and the address. "Feeding Pigeons on Diamonds" will be made by Rev. E. W. D. Issac, director of the congress. Following this meeting, at six o'clock, will be the Model B. Y. P. U., conducted by Prof. S. H. Fowler, of Texas and Mr. L. G. Harris. The evening sermon will be by the Reverend H. K. Hill of Florida. Dr. J. E. Peters at Savannah Pharmacy During the week, Dr. J. E. Peters of Columbus, arrived in the city from Waycross, where he had been employed for the past seven months in the drug business, and has taken a position with the Savannah Pharmacy. Since the departure of Dr. J. E. Gant for New York about four months ago, Dr. Moody has had to attend to the prescription counter alone, but the volume of business has become too large for one pharmacist to handle, therefore, Dr. Peters' services weresecured. Dr. Peters is a graduate of Flint Medical College, New Orleans, and is well versed in the drug business. participants under the leadership of Mrs. I.D. Black. The two concerts have added a total of about $125.00 to the school and it was in appreciation of the great assistance which the participants in these concerts have been to the Sunday school that the social was given. Miss Frances R. Brown entertained her friends on Friday evening June 27th, 1919, in honor of her guest, Miss Abeleen Whitmore, of Waynesboro, Ga.

Betti'Edon' Baptist Church Lincoln and Gordon Streets. The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, preached two very beautiful sermons Sunday. His sermon Sunday morning was especially beautiful. In it he spoke of the stone every Christian, is sure to meet with on the way; but as the stone was rolled away for Mary, so will God roll away the stone for us, if we do our part. At night his subject was "Victory," after which was the regular communion service. We were glad to have Rev. Sutton with us, also Rev. A. L. James of Florida, was with us Tuesday night. The Rev. M.

S. meets in Wayercross, August 6, at 9 a.m. "We meet upon the level" should be more than a mere phrase. It should be a rule of conduct. Ever to act and walk as a just and upright man and Mason should be the ambition of every craftsman. The spirit of Masonry in its search for wisdom flies through the vast domain of the universe, and gathers knowledge from them all. Ascending to the heaven, it takes the sun moon and stars, and wraps them in the comet's fiery tail. Descending into mother earth it brings forth chalk, charcoal and clay, teaching us freedom, fervency and zeal. From the harvest field of nature it takes a sheaf of wheat and suspend it near a waterford whilst amid strains of delicious music, it teaches, a most beautiful and exalted symbolism.—Ex. A little girl was walking down the street with her mother one day and passed a heavily veiled woman. The little girl asked, "Mamma, who is that?" Her mother replied, "That is a sister of Charity." Then the little girl inquired which one, "Faith of Hope?" Now this little girl reminds us of a good many Masons who don't even know that these virtues are related. Their knowledge of the ritual may be compared to that of the man who went out west. When he came home his friends asked him if he went up on Pike's Peak, and he said he guessed so. He got into a car and rode about two hours at the end of which time he found himself on top of a huge pile of rocks. There is no end of men who go through Masonry about the same way. They sign a petition and after a couple of months some one tells them to sign the books and that they are Masons. They go over and sit down, look a little bewildered and the next day go down town and buy a Masonic pin and stop out on the street entitled to all the rights and privileges of a Master Mason—Selected. True Masonry is sometimes found in the most commonplace surroundings. The writer well remembers visiting a rural lodge, which met in a very small room over a grocery store. The furniture was of the most primitive kind, the altar was a dry goods box with a piece of cloth thrown over it. Upon entering this lodge room the question naturally arose, how can the brethren meet and enjoy Masonry under such surroundings. But when the minutes were read there burst upon the mind of the visitor a conception of Masonry which had not come to him before. The record told of the needy relieved, the sick visited, of a donation to 'sierd a 'Mason's orphan to school. When intermission was announced and the writer mingled with his little band of Masons he had a practical illustration of brotherly love in its true sense. The impression was one never to be for gotten and sometimes when sitting back in the luxurious cushions of some big city lodge and listening to wrangles over trivial matters there comes a vision of that humble lodge where the spirit of true Masonry dwells—Ex. 7.437. We are told that the form of a lodgement is that of an oblong-square or rather a parallelogram. This is an important Masonic spiritual and teaches many Masonic lessons. It portrays the form of the ancient temple and being situated according to the points of the compass represents the domain of Masonic activity. The lodgement form was in the days of Solomon the generally accepted idea of the form of the world, extending from east to west. It also symbolizes the growth and man's development, extending from eastward to westward as a religion and civilization have travelled. It is also to remind man of the spiritual temple which he is greeting and which should be built up on squares, by the practices and exemplification of these celestial virtues temperance, fortitude, providence and justice.

The Builder "The Egyptians were the builders," said a contractor envious. "No wonder their monuments will endure, forever. Labor was nothing to them. As you would spend a cent on a newspaper, so would an Egyptian king put 10,000 men to work upon a temple. Labor, you see, cost nothing. A striking example of the Egyptian prodigality of labor lies in this fact: No fewer than 2,000 men were employed for three years in carrying a single stone, a stone of unexamined size, from Elephantine, to Sats."

H. we have quite full comment upon the first part of our lesson and must bear these facts: Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Scribes and was eighty-nine words in all the deeds and when he was full forty years he came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. He supposed that his brethren would have understood how God by his Word would them. The Scribes understood how H. H. H. H. may have been forty years ahead of time in his thought of delivering his prophecies with 20,000 words that we was forty years before he received his call to the burial of his son and we can now obit thanks to Him who came unto his own and His own received him not (John 10:18-20). Thus, since of him in acts, will him. This Moses whom they refused. In Hebrews 31:24-27, the time of our loss less is referred to by the position whole Moses who believe have filled in the sign of Pharaoh's daughter. But this closes rather to suffer infliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of God, for in season, inste- ning the reproach of Christ, greater rich- ness than the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. He endured as seer Him who is invisible. What wonderful words these are, and what 'an insigh- they give us into Moses' knowledge of the God, of Israel and of their promises to Abraham! Isaac and Jacob—wisdom which never came to him from the wis- dom of Egypt. According to our lesson verses, although Moses' sympathized with his afflicted brethren, he did not know the living and true God as he did later on for before he slew the Egyptian taskmaster he looked this way and that way to see that, no man, was watching. He was afterward afraid and sled for his life to the land, of Midian. He had been from childhood to the age of forty under the training of the wisdom of Egypt, but he required to be forty years more at the school of God, learning more fully the wisdom of God, as David did when he kept sheep, as John the Baptist did until, he was thirty and as Saul did for three years in Arabin. Nothing can equal a training in the school of God. Following him to Midian, we find him by a well delivering the daughters of a prince or priest of Midian from the shepherds who oppressed them and assisting them to water their flock. The daughters reached home earlier than usual that day, and when their father, Reuel, or Jethro, inquired the reason they replied that an Egyptian delivered and helped them. So he was sent for to come and eat with them, and, being content to dwell there, Jethro gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses to be his wife. It is not without a purpose that the Spirit has recorded for us the finding of a wife by a well and by or in connection with the watering of a flock, us in the case of Isaac, Jacob and Moses. The first well in the Bible is the well of Him that liveth and seeth me (Gen. xvii. 13, 14), but the most, prominent well is Beersheba, the well of the oath, making us think of the faithfulness of God. In Jer. ii. 13. He calls Himself, the fountain of living water, The whole purpose of this age is the gathering from all nations an elect church, a bride for Christ, and it is being done by those who have themselves become wells of living water by reckoning Christ (John iv. 14). Moses called his first son Gershom, a stranger here (verse 22, margin), for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. If we are in Christ we are strangers and pilgrims here, a peculiar people, to show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light (I Pet. iii. 11). His second son he called Bilezzer (my God is a help), for he said, "The God of my father was mine help" (Exx. vi. 4, margin). Stephen also mentions these two sons in Acts vii. 29. The closing verses of our lesson tell of yet, another king of Egypt and of such oppression of Israel as made them groan and cry, and their cry came up unto God; and He heard their groaning and remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. He heard the cry of Abel's blood; He heard the cry of the lod Ishmael; He heard the cry of the iniquity of Sodom and Gomorrah. He hears the cry of all the oppressed and in His time will surely do somewhat. The Iniquity of the Amorites in the land of Canaan was getting full (Gen. xv, 14, 16), and the nation of Egypt was fast ripening, forl judgment, and Moses, the deliverer, was being prepared to be a great deliverer, as he kept the stocks of Jothro and communed with God. On all sides God was working, and it is even so today, for another deliverance of Israel is drawing nigh, and He has sworn to plant them in their own land with His whole heart and soul, and they shall never be pulled up any more (Jer. xxxl, 41: Amos ix, 15). Our God is unto all His people a God of deliverances and daily bearer our burden for us (Ps. ixvll, 10, 20, R. V.). PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO.

Morgan's librarian, Miss Bella De Costa Green, was asked her official title this pretty young guardian of rare editions smilingly replied: "Well, my friends in England suggest that I be called 'keeper of printed books and manuscripts,' but, you know," she continued, "they have such long titles in London. I'm simply librarian." Being a librarian with Mr. Morgan's unsuspected treasures to care for is no small task. Miss Green was originally selected for the position while she was a student several years ago at Princeton, where she specialized in early printed books. Mr. Morgan's nephew, Junius Morgan, was associate librarian of the university, and through a noted collection of books purchased by him for his uncle the idea of the wonderful library which has descended to Mr. Morgan's son and began. Seeing Miss Green in her home, one would imagine that she was an unusually cultured society girl with decidedly intellectual tastes, evidenced by the bookcase which has a prominent place in the attractive Martin room. When she tells you at this date day she is only beginning to find time to read her seminal and other "modern" you naturally wonder whether it is a dancing tea or the opera that last interfered with her education. 请您先查看游戏场景并确认游戏状态 But you soon learn that musty-times have interested this young woman of twenty-sven. Miss Green has been obliged to study in diverse fields and be ready at the slightest warning to scour the ends of the earth for a fine book and to identify competent science stolen volumes. Miss Green is deeply interested in the project of developing a university press. The university will greatly compete with the Oxford Press in England. The establishment of such a press would make printing a serious art in this country, and already several bibliophiles from Harvard have been to New York to see Mr. Morgan's collection with this object in view. Perfect Marriages Are Rare. Only one perfect marriage in ten seems a pretty small average. In view of the proposed law in Michigan requiring the issuance of medical certificates before marriage licenses are issued, a letter has been sent to the chairman of the committee, Cuno H. Randolph, by Fulton R. Gordon, in which he says: "The proposed medical certificate is a step in the right direction, but only a step. Why stop there? Why not go to the very bottom of this the most important and farreaching subject now before the American people that is, the schooling and preparing of our loving sons and daughters, who trust us, to become both perfect fathers and mothers, to the end, that their children, our descendants, will be of a higher standard both mentally and physically? "We teach our children the geography of the world. Then why not teach them the geography of their precious little bodies? Which is the more sensible, to have your sons and daughters happily married and not know so much about the gender location of the Kaimazuo river of to be divorced on account of the lack of proper knowledge? "If you are successful in fathering this important legislation of the national capital it will no doubt be immediately taken up and adopted by all the states and when this is done you will be the greatest benefactor to mankind in the history of the world. "Statutes show about one divorce in ten marriages in the United States. This also shows that one in nine is within nine-tenths of a divorce and one in eight within eight-tenths, and so on down to only one perfect marriage in ten." Easy Summer Work. Summer work should be something easy and yet something that will be useful if not ornamental. One woman is taking half a dozen bath towels to the mountains with her. She will edge them with a course crochet during the summer and further ornament them with an initial, and then they will be stored in the guest room bureau. Dickens' Handwriting. It is a singular distinction of Charles Dickens' handwriting that—early formed in those galloping posticles by lanter light—it became not only as clear as Thackenny's, but more beautiful than any other handwriting in the world. It has movement, grace, charming form in the capitals and that indelible thing, touch. One "unregarded curl" (Poe's word of a lady's hair in Dickens' script has spring in it and rebound. Probably a magnifying glass would show in detail this vitality in every letter of his alphabet. The Talmud: The Talmud consists of the *Mishnah* and the "Gemara." The former is a somewhat ill arranged transcript of the "Oral Law" and is a book of no very great length. It was drawn up in its present form, though not written down, about the year 200 A.D. The Gemara may be roughly described as a port of jargonic commentary on the Mishnah, but is a commentary of which enormous notions seem to have suddenly nothing to do with the text. offits, bishop of Exeter, who was for his biting tongue, and been the guest of Sir John Kennaway at He was entirely polite until his episcopal chariot, was at the door to drive film back to Exeter, then, with one foot on the step, he gave a comprehensive look over, the front of the house and the lake beside it, and, taking his host's hand, he remarked with slow deliberation; "Goodby Sir John. I have much enjoyed my visit. I hate only two suggestions to make for the improvement of your home and park. I should pull down the house and fill up the pond with it."—"Memories," by Hon. Stephen Colidge. As England Knows 11c As England knows us. There are many educated people in England who believe that Henry Clay makes the cigars that go by that name and confute Daniel Webster with his namesake Noah Webster. The London Telegraph repeated the latter error quite recently. A city magistrate had discharged a prisoner charged with a statutory offense under a recent act upon ending by the dictionary, that the word used in the law did not cover the case. Commenting upon this, the London paper remarked: "Webster when a lawyer got off many defendants, and his dictionary still continues, the good work." When "thirteen War Lucky." The luckiness of thirteen may be said to have been exemplified in the American War of Independence, when thirteen colonies revolted and formed the United States. A London newspaper of 1774 asserted that the rebels considered the number lucky and attributed to the party of returned naval prisoners the statement that "thirteen dried beans were in rebel's daily ration: that washington had thirteen trees and thirteen teeth in each jaw; that the regular rebel family comprised thirteen children, each expecting to become a general in the army of thirteen; and that thirteen American paper dollars were worth one penny sterling." Blond Indians. One of the mysteries of Mexico is presented by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There is a tradition, however, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than a folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons are --- Most Versatile Postman. most Versatile Postman. The most versatile postman of any time was probably the late II A. Major of London, who was for many years a familiar figure in the neighborhood of St. Clement Danes and the Strand. In his spare time, until the last his voice, he was an actor—he was one of the original cast of "Black Dried Susan." He wrote Inharmonable forces and some thirteen dramas, most of them successfully produced. He painted pictures and obtained the king of Italy's medal for his "lifelike representation of fruit" and in addition he achieved more than 10 local reputation, as a violinist. Many of his pictures are bung in the wards of King's College hospital. Toast Limits A right honourable member of parliament had the first response on the toast list at an English banquet. He began drearily and talked soggy politics without end. After he had been on his feet for an hour the chairman, or toastmaster, sent a note to the man sitting next to the talker, who also was scheduled for a toast. The note read, "For heaven's sake switch his contours and tell him he has long exceeded his time limit." Presently a note from the man who was to talk came back to the chairman. "That note read: 'I am astonished at your request.' I cannot speak longer than this I refuse to speak at all'"—Saturday Evening Post. meng: s? n 109 In Paris they are wearing fetching costumes like the one pictured.

Some have, hangedon elegant residences, and taken, their families into hotels, or boarding houses who could have continued to keep up their hopes, if listened to or "inviting" up the houses themselves, they had done away with the wrongly imprisoned toils. There is such a think possible as having too many useful and tools to establish that taking out replacing and keeping them cleaned in order to order them, the daily labor, took much furniture in a room. That satisfied through it seems a perilous attempt to story, a course without disaster; too many currents to wear, for time is consumed in caring for them and even in choosing what to put on.—Suburban Life Magazine. Cure, For Nerves. As a rule, salt meat is not adapted to the requirements of the nervous, in nutritious juices go into the brine to a good extent. Fish, of all kinds is good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to the common opinion, are not as digestible as those that have been well cooked. Good bread, sweet butter and lean meat are the best food for the nerves. Those troubled with insomnia and nervous starting from sleep and sensations, of falling can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take a pint at a meal and take four meals daily. Those with weakened nerves require frequently a larger quantity of water than those whose nerves and brains are strong. It aids the digestion of food by making it soluble and seems to have a direct tonic effect. New Baggage Laws. Women who are travelling this summer should remember the new baggage rules that went into effect on June 1. It is no longer a question of weight, but of size, where the trunk is concerned. Forty-five inches is the regulation size of trunks, and everything over that is in excess, and body over seventy-inch inches in length, breadth and height will be accepted. The measuring tricks that are used are self computing, five pounds, being charged for each inch of excess baggage, measurement. About Stamps. Do not lick stamps. The best way is to moisten the envelope and not the stamp. When stamps stick together do not soak them apart, but lay them on a smooth surface with a 'thin paper' over them and pass a hot iron quickly over them. This separates them without destroying the gum. --- How to Freshen Panama Hats Get 45 cm³ worth of ammonia acid Dissolve in one quart of water.

SATURDAY, JULY 12TH, 1913. One of the most important and timely movements ever inaugurated in the interest of common sense and decency so far as wearing apparel is concerned, is the movement recently launched in various parts of the country to require a cessation on the part of our women of the wearing of the tight fitting and transparent garments now so much in vogue among them and which cause unnecessarily immodest exposure of their limbs. This is indeed as it should be. From time immemorial one of the greatest treasures of woman and a most valuable asset to her moral reputation, has been her modesty. The possession of this virtue has brought to her distinction and deference from the sterner sex. It has made her queen of all she surveys and man, mere man, subject to her every beck and call. We love yet to think of the hoop skirt and its attendant styles. They gave to woman her distinguishing marks. Good sense and modesty require that each and every sensible woman refrain from adopting any new fangled dress idea which may border on impropriety and indecency or savor of suggestiveness. They should see to it that their dresses not only fit them neat but that they give to their bodies ample protection from the gazes of others. As the Florida official has said, if our supposedly decent women would conform to the wearing of decent street dresses then it would be a comparatively easy matter to compel other women to do likewise. The wearing of the proper kind of street dress is a matter of much moment at this time to our women throughout the country. It is sincerely hoped that the campaign now being waged for reform in women's dress will have its desired effect and that the near future will find immodesty in street apparel on the part of our women, a thing of the past. Within the past few years, our city has taken on new life through the carrying out of the wide awake and progressive ideas of some of its citizens. By the outlay of vast suites of money business enterprises of mammoth proportions have been started and successfully managed. As a result, the growth of our city within the past few years has been almost by leaps and bounds. For the grand result, we are indebted no little to those of our citizens who, through their constructive genius and spirit of venture and enterprise, have made such results possible. Among the individuals who have contributed their share to the progress and growth of Savannah, few if any, should come in for more praise and commendation than the Stiles-Jennings combine, builders and匠匠s of the Pekin theatre, of Lincoln Park and pro-ces of divers other enterprises. This combine that realized a years ago the need of a first theatre for our people and at of several thousand dollars, on one of our main thor-eres a beautiful and commo- play house for them. To do is a great venture. Howe-we combination felt that a was needed by our people, spared neither pains nor in furnishing it for them. The Stiles-Jennings combine urge of the management of Park and have conducted creditably. For some time fans of our city have been ing for "something big" the fight artists. The Stiles-ies combine again got busy titified their wish by staging of several thousand dol-ine Jeannette-Dewey mill is bringing to our city on the greatest ring generals ever this part of 'Dixie. The of Savannah are indeed of the Stiles-Jennings com- they appreciate their spirit and venture in trying to the people what they desire. For their effort, they deserve our greatest commendation and it is our duty not to falter in the support of their many enterprises which they so richly deserve. With a great deal of pleasure do we note the extensive preparation now being made by our people in various parts of our country for a fitting and elaborate celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of freedom, during the present year. The legislatures of several of our states have given encouragement to the leaders of the movement for a decent celebration of the half century anniversary of our freedom, by making appropriations to the same. There is every indication that during the ensuing fall months, the achievements of the Negro in art literature and the various other pursuits, since emancipation, will be brought out in bolder relief before the eyes of the people of this country than ever before. And this indeed is as it should be since our progress since emancipation has been such a wonderful one. Think of it! Fifty years ago only a very few of us owned ourselves. Fewer of us still, owned any property. Our illiteracy was almost total. There were no businesses among us owned and controlled by our people; there were no professional men, doctors, lawyer, teachers, among us. To-day we own millions of dollars worth of property; own and control thousands of small but lucrative business enterprises, and have our own doctors, lawyers and teachers among us. We are beginning to have our own Boards of Trade, our Chambers of Commerce, our civic improvement leagues and other organizations that present us to the world as men who have the interest and welfare of their community and country at heart. During the past fifty years, we have wrought well. It is therefore fitting and proper that we pause long enough during the year from the busy marts of life to show to the world the result of our constructive efforts in behalf of ourselves and our country. As a tenth part of the great American nation, we feel that we have given at least a tytle to its growth and development. We believe that we have not rested on our oars or sit by idly during the past half-century, but catching the spirit of American life, have measured arm and step with our fellow men. A country wide cecitation of the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom is proper and in keeping with our progress during the past years. The world needs to know and to have some unmistakably tangible evidences of our progress during our freedom. We must let the world have this. Each of us should have a share in this semi-centennial celebration of our freedom. It is sincerely hoped that we will. It is earnestly desired that before the end of the year that our people in every state, including ours, which is yet to take some definite action looking toward a state wide celebration of our fiftieth anniversary of freedom, will be so united in their effort to show their true worth to the world that from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf the one grand ring of the welkin will be Negro glory and achievements. League Conference Jesup, Ga. June 28th,—13. To the Editor Savannah Tribune, Dear Sir; Permit the following to appear in the columns of your noted journal. The Superintendent, Dr. L. A. Townsley, of A. C. E. League worker of the Georgia Annual Conference held one of the greatest League Conventions ever held in the State by the A. M. E. Church. Thursday June 26th at 3:30 P. M. the convention was called to order. After devotion the, organization was perfected as follows. Prof. C. G. Wyley, vice-president; Mr. W. O. P. Sherman, chief secty.; Miss Eddie Sanders, asst. secty.; Miss Rosa E. Howard treasurer; Mr. B. S. Reid, chorister Mr. J. W.

G. Wyley, secular press; Mr. W. O. P. Sherman to Savannah Independent and the writter to The Savannah Tribune. Mr. C. S. Perry and Mr. Frank P. Dawson were elected Marshal. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D.D., LL.D., was present at the opening and remained to the close. The, opening address of Dr. Townsley was a masterly effort; the Mother (Monumental) led in every report. Valdosta second, Fitzgerald third, St. Philip, Savannah, fourth, St. James Savannah, fifth. The introductory sermon by Dr. R. H. Singleton was indeed a great effort. The sermon on Friday night by Dr. L. W.McMillan was a rare treat, Bishop J. S. Flipper capped the climax on Sunday with his wonderful gospel message. The address of welcome by Mrs Ida Dart was a gem; the response by Prof. Wyley was in keeping with the address. Dr. Wm. A. Fountain, Ph. D, President of Morris Brown University was with us, his address on the University, and A. C. E.League work was instructive and inspiring. Dr. P. W. Greatheart, Dean of the University was a prominent figure and he delivered a great address at the platform meeting Sunday afternoon. Remarks of commendation were indulged by all in behalf of Dr. Townsley and the ease and dignity with which he presided in every session of the convention. He carried the people at will in the Model A. C. E. League meeting Sunday afternoon. One hundred and thirty three ($133.00) dollars were collected. All expenses were met, and a nice sum left in the treasury. Next meeting will be held at Douglass, Ga. June 1914. J. W. Love, Reporter. Resolutions Instead of the regular Saturday morning's meeting, the agents of Georgia Mutual Insurance Company used this time on last Saturday as a Memorial service in honor of Mr. H. C. Miller, Assistant Superintendent, who died on Tuesday June 24th. A program suitable to such an occasion was arranged and carried out in a manner filled with solemnity and sincerity. Many were the words of praise and commendation said of Mr. Miller, especially his record review, which was given by the superintendent as is customary with the company whenever an agent or inspector severs his connection with the company, commended. The following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas an alwise Providence has seen fit to remove from our midst our Assistant Superintendent, H. C. Miller, Be it Resolved that in the death of Mr. Miller we have lost a friend and fellow worker, the company a valuable employee, and that while we keenly feel this loss we trust that it is Heaven's gain. Resolved further that we extend to his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and condolence. Resolved lastly that these resolutions be published in The Sayannah Tribune, a copy spread upon the minutes of our association and a copy sent to the bereaved family. Death of Miss Nowell Miss Priscilla Nowell, after an illness of two month's duration, passed away last Friday afternoon at her home on Gadsden street. Miss Nowell had been complaining nearly all the winter but has held up pretty well until school closed when she collapsed. During the latter part of May and the entire month of June she was desperately ill and her death was not altogether unexpected. The deceased was a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. J. R. Nowell who survive her. In addition to her parents she leaves one sister, Miss Susan Nowell, and three brothers, Fritz, Springgs and Leon Nowell. At the time of her death she was a teacher at the Waverly Union School and was noted for her efficiency. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. N. C. Cleaves at Sydney Park C. M. E. Church, of which she was a devoted member. The pastor in his brief sermon paid a tribute to the sterling worth of this estimable young woman and read a letter from the teachers of Waverly school, her colleagues, expressing sympathy and attesting her possession of many fine qualities that enter the making of a good teacher. The church was thronged with friends, many of whom sent beautiful floral designs. The interment was at Randolph cemetery.

In Memoriam In memory of our mother, KATIE L. WILLIAMS, who died July 11th, 1906,—7 years Can we forget our mother, Or the parting words she said, As she laid with arms around us, And those burning tears she shed, When her happy angel spirit, Took its flight to realms of day? Can we forget our mother, Tho' she's passed from earth away? Can we forget our mother, Can we cease to love her still? Can we forget our mother, Tho' the flow's bloom o'er her grave? No! we'll ne'er forget you, mother While upon this world we stay; For we know from yon bright mansion, Thou art calling us away. Soon this earthly journey ended, If our mother's God be ours We shall clasp glad hands in glory And thro' endless ages shine. Your children, Julia C. Woodruff, Sav'ah Thos L. Williams, N.

New Dining Cars on the Seaboard—Modern in Every Respect and Equipped with the Very Best. The Seaboard Air Line Railway has received six of their new steel dining cars, and same are in service on through trains. They are the latest production of Pullman art, purchased by the Seaboard at approximately $30,000 for each car. They are full steel construction both within and without except for some necessary inside ornamental woodwork. The interior finish is a bright mahogany. The lights are furnished from squares in the ceiling and a beautifully soft effect is created. The cars weigh 80 tons and are 72 feet long. They have electric generators which create the light and heat and operate the fans. The floors is tiled. The tables and chairs are of heavy upholstery with cushioned legs which prevent noise as they are moved about. The absence of unnecessary fixtures gives the dining room the effect of a large living room with plenty of space and a suggestion of comfort and home life. There are refrigerating closets for cigars, for cooling drinks and for meats and vegetables. The kitchen has the capacity of that of a good sized hotel with charcoal broiler, ovens, etc. The ice, water and other accessories are put into the car from the outside. There are slides in the window screens so as to let in light and air as one chooses by a mere pressure of the thumb and without raising and struggling with tight frames or waiting for the porter.

Men are not corrupted by the exercise of power or debased by the habit of obedience, but by the exercise of a power which they believe to be illegitimate and by obedience to a rule which they consider to be usurped and oppressive.—De Tocqueville. --- PREDICTION Now let me see; there are six Negro industrial insurance companies in this city. The reports rendered by them to the state officials for the six ending December 1912 A months ending December 1912, showed a total income amounting to $566.775.50. Naturally this money had to be collected, and these companies gave this job to so many of our young men and women, and paid them about $14,169.33 to do this collecting. The Ga. Mutual predicts that this $14,169.33 paid to our people will never be forgotten, and that sooner or later we will conclude, that since it is true that we invested $566,775.50 in six Negro industrial insurance companies as a protection against sickness and death, and aside from this protection we have received $14,-169.33 in commission, how foolish it is to insure with the. other fellow who promises nothing at all.

If they are worn two hours every day the hair most certainly suffers and eventually falls out because of them. We are also warned not to go barefooted in the summer. If we do the two direct rays of the sun make the hair fall out. It is a fact that much falling hair occurs in the fall, a month or so after summer or vacations are ended. Specialists in the subject have decided that the butter spending much of the vacation be abandoned is accountable for this calamity. To be sure, nothing is better for the hair than thorough airing. This, with a moderate amount of sunshine and much brushing, keeps the hair clean and so makes the frequent shampoo, which specialists most of them also declare is harmful to the hair unnecessary. So if you would have beautiful hair when you return from your vacation decide before you start away that you will not expose your locks to the sun's direct rays. Frequent shampooing is harmful to the hair, but so is dirt. Especially in summer it is desirable to keep the hair always clean and fresh. One way to do this without taking a shampoo is to wash the scalp regularly and frequently with alcohol. Another way is to massage the dry shampoo. Orris root of orris root mixed with talcum powder should be rubbed in the hair, but not in the scalp. The scalp should be freed from the orris root or powder, which clogs its pores, by massage. Nothing is better for cleaning the hair than the liquid soap known as pure castile. A delightful shampoo mixture can be made by melting castile soap with a little water until it is a jowel, then adding four teaspoonfuls of oil. To make cake of soap add a few drops of violet or rose perfume or colure to scent it pleasantly. A better good liquid shampoo soap is made by melting a cake of tar soap in a double boiler with a little water or putting it in a glass jar, covering the soap with warm water and putting the jar in a pan of water in the oven until the soap last fell into containers. Remember if you visit, the senshore and mathe in the surf that salt water is bad for the hair. Bathing caps this year are at once so pretty and so serviceable that there is little excuse for getting the hair wet. If by chance it is wet, however, it should be immediately rinsed in clear fresh water, gently massaged so that all the salt is removed and then rinsed in the sun as quickly as possible. Shaking Hands. Any one who has gone through the ceremony of shaking hands with several hundred people at a public function knows that there are many varieties of handshake. There is the limp, dabby hand which has no grip; there is the hand which seizes yours in a vise-like grip and crushes it until bones and ligaments ache; there is the crooked hand which carries the heart with it. From time to time there is a caprice in handshaking. A year or two ago young women affected an upward lift of the arm and a jauity shake of the hand which was rather embarrassing to old fashioned ladies who had never learned to lift the hand when offering it to a friend. At present many girls not only use this peculiar form of salutation in shining hands, but have a way of saying "How do you do?" with sparkling inflection and an air of indifference which, if they knew it, is really funny. A great deal of tact is required in adding any salutation to the occasion. In private life in this country the hand is not always given except to intimate friends and relatives. Many persons content themselves with a bow or even a nod on meeting. But an extended hand is the more central manner of salutation. Ordinary it should be left to the older, or more distinguished one to make the proper of the hand. Men and women in this country, as in France, seldom extend the hand unless there is a great difference of age position or much intimacy or relation. Etiquette of Bridal Calls. Etiquette of Bridal Calls Iidal calls must be regarded as first motion, although the bride before her nage was included in the calls paid to her mother, but after marriage the wife is made to her husband and per- sonal without for the husband may be a parative stranger to the caller. The fact of having been present at the wearing requires that a call should be sufficiently made upon the young couple, and thus one is actually made, and cards are only left in the case of the bride not being at home. Dinner For Engaged Persons When giving a dinner complimentary to a bride elect one may invite only her women acquaintances. In such a case the prospective bridegroom is not an invited guest. A dinner to which both are invited usually includes the man and his fiancee, her prospective bridal attendants and his best man and usher, or his most intimate friends. It is pretty custom to present a bouquet of flowers or favorite flowers to the bride elect at a dinner. Irrigation In Spain.

All over the world the amount of actual nutrients that a workingman needs is just about the same, whether he be mining in Siberia, engineering in Panama, planting in Brazil or farming in New England. This average has been found by a number of scientific investigators to be about four and one-half ounces of protein, sixteen ounces of carbohydrates and four and one-half ounces of fat for a man who does a moderate or average day's work. For a woman, about four-fifths of the above amount is required, while children, except in very rapidly growing stages, need even less than New York American. In at least thirty-five countries oysters support special fisheries and in several more figure in the food supply. FULL LIVES The shortness of life is bound up with its fullness.

There's A Big Reason Why Paragon Typewriter Ribbons are the best WE realized years ago when we first started to make Paragon Ribbons than they had to be the best—an whatver cost. There was a special reason the Remington Typewriter. We make the Remington and we make the ribbon. We started to make the ribbon for the Remington. No writing machine can do better work than its ribbon, therefore none but the best ribbon is good enough for the Remington Typewriter. So you see that Paragon Ribbons had to be the best—not only for their own sake but for the machine's sake. This double incentive has produced the best ribbon—the ribbon that outsells them all. Of course there are other reasons for Paragon Ribbon leadership. We are the oldest typewriter, ribbon manufacturers, with the longest experience, the best facilities, and the most complete knowledge of the qualities in a ribbon that typewriter users want and how to produce what they want. But all of these reasons have followed from the first. It was, Remington leadership which demanded and produced Paragon leadership. But do not think that the Paragon Ribbon is simply a Remington affair. What the Paragon Ribbon has done for the Remington, it has done, incidentally, for every other writing machine. Paragon Ribbons, of absolutely uniform quality, are made for all makes of typewriters.

[This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Pure castor oil applied at intervals will cause warts to disappear. The larger the wart the longer the treatment will have to be. The planting for the last lot of sweet cord for the table should be made by the 10th of July, and if it is put in by the 15th it will be more likely to produce a crop. A simple method of disposing of small colonies of plant lice is by spraying the infested trees or bushes with a solution made by stirring two tablespoons of oil or of sassafras in a quart of water. Chinch bugs are said to cause an annual crop damage in the United States of $20,000,000. The brunt of the loss represented in these figures is borne by farmers in the corn belt, who grow wheat, oats and corn. Common road dust sifted on the bushrushes that are being skeletonized by the little green slug will put them out of business. The dust is best applied early in the morning, when the dew is on the leaves. It is not a good plan to let strawberries or raspberries mature on the newly planted vines or canes. During their first year's growth the plants need all the strength they can muster for the growth of root and branch. A lady reader reports that she has found that the presence of a tomato plant in the hill of cucumbers tends to lessen the damage done by the striped squash bug, to which the odor of the tomato plant seems disagreeable. That the Chinese are making rapid progress in civilization of the occidental type is indicated in the figures showing the increase in the importation of hats into the empire from $50,000 worth in 1910 to over $800,000 worth in 1912. One level headed hog raiser suggests leaving two or three of the smallest ones with the dam after the lifter has been taken from her.

It occurs to him that the plant, which is a native of Mexico, passes through just such a dormant period in its natural state and that it will do the better for this rest period. Some weeks ago an item in these notes gave the suggestion of an eastern lady relative to the edibility of the common; milkweed, it being prepared and cooked like asparagus. The matter has been referred to the botanist of the Kansas, Agricultural college, and he advises against using any varieties of milkweed in the manner suggested, as several of them are quite poisonous. A noted veterinary authority blames poor ventilation for greater losses to horse owners than all other causes of disease combined. What is true of horses is doubtless equally true of blooded cattle and dairy cows that are usually kept closely confined. It seems strange that domestic animals should suffer so much from this cause when fresh air is so cheap and plentiful and so easily introduced into the quarters where horses and cattle are housed. The writer has-lately put down some thirty-five dozen eggs in the water glass solution. It will be interesting to notice how they keep and whether the prevailing prices for eggs at the time they are consumed will have made it worth while to preserve them in view of the original cost of 16 cents per dozen. The eggs put down were gathered daily and were also clean. The solution was made by mixing one part of water glass in ten parts boiled water. A ten gallon stone jar was used as the container. the discovery of the value of the much prized bordeaux mixture was by accident. A Frenchman, the owner of a vineyard near Bordeaux, had been amnaged by schoolboys stealing his grapes, so he hit upon the plan of spraying his vines with a mixture, that would give them an unsightly color. He used lime, copper sulphate and water, and the boys, thinking the grapes had been doped with poison, let them alone. Later, when fungous pests attacked the grapes, this grower's vines were found to be largely immune.

There are who will give the showed up wife and children children. In these days of small families this item is worthy of notice. The June just past was a record breaker in more senses of the word than one. On the evenings of the 9th and 10th frost was reported from many sections of the country while on the 18th temperatures several degrees above the 100 mark were reported from many central western cities. An odd incident is related in a late issue of an eastern agricultural journal of a bantam rooster that apparently became disgusted with the desertion of a clutch of eggs by his mate and accordingly got on the nest and sat on them until the eggs hatched. It is more than likely that his mate was a suffragette and that he was trying to make the best of his situation. Beekeepers will be interested in a bullion lately issued by the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture at Washington, No. 160, treatment of sickblood, which is an infectious disease and causes the death of the larvae in the comb cells. Copies of the publication may be had at 5 cents apiece by applying to the superintendent of documents, Washington. That ability to possess electrical currents is largely not individual matter or varies greatly with individuals is shown in the recovery of a Nekoosa (Wis.) young man after coming in contact with the high tension wire at the substation or the 'chippewa' power company, which carries'n' current for tailing 33,000 volts. This is more than twenty-five times as strong as the electrical current that is used in official electrocutions. While in no way allied to the bird family, mud turtles also lay eggs. Instead of sitting on the eggs, as do the mother birds the mother turtle scoops out a hole in the sea floor in a sunny place and there deposits her eggs usually from fifteen to twenty-five in number. These are hatched by the heat of the sun. The eggs of the snapping turtle are white, round, as a bullet and have a shell that is tough and pliable like parchment. Too many parents take, the Puritan attitude toward their 'children' that if they do well in whatever task is assigned them it is no more than they ought to do, while if they do it they should be upbranded for it. This may work well with some boys and girls, but the more sensible plan would seem to be to give a cordial word of appreciation for work:well done. It will do the recipient good and, in most cases will also serve to develop the sympathies and sensibilities of the one who gives. Older people crave merited appreciation. So do boys and girls. Pear blight, which attacks both apples and pear trees, and several wild allied species, is bad again this season in many western fruit sections. The disease is of a bacterial nature and works in the sap, while fakers and frauds have claimed to have preventives or cures for this malady (for which they ask a long price), there is but one way of eradicating it—namely, cutting out infected twigs and branches well below the point of infection and disinfecting the cut and knife after each operation with a 1 to 1,000 solution of corrosive, sublimate. In cutting it is well to go well, below the limit of infection the first time in order to make sure of getting it all. A late issue of a widely read popular magazine recently contained an interesting article under the caption of "The Experience of One Back to the Lander." The article showed how this man came to grief by buying a run-down and played out eastern farm and tackling the job of reclaiming it without experience. His first year's experience on the land cost him in the neighborhood of $2,500, and fortunately he was able to sell his farm for what he paid for it. At the conclusion of the article the very sensible suggestion is made to those who want to join the back to the land movement of renting a farm for a year or two instead of buying, this plan giving just as much experience and at far less worry and financial loss. Railroads running through, Washington and Oregon are seeking to encourage the growing of corn in localities tributary to them by offering substantial prizes in the shape of cash and agricultural implements in contests which are to close with exhibits to be held at Colfax, Wash., and Pendleton, Ore., in December of the present year. The railroad management has furnished the seed which was used in the contest, and many farmers in different sections of the state mentioned have joined in it. Yields of corn ranging from seventy-five to ninety bushels have been grown in the Yakima, while yields of forty and fifty bushels have been grown in the Willamette valley and in the Walla Walla and Touchet valleys. The railroads that are doing this missionary work anticipate that in the course of a few years corn will be one of the most valuable crops produced in the territory mentioned. POULTRY NOTES BY M.

Those who think skimmilk has little nutritive value have another guess coming. Of course it's not so yellow and frothy because the cream, or fat, has been removed. But that's just like trimming the fat off a ham steak—the lean, or valuable food constituents, remain. Skimmilk still contains the nitrogenous substance, or building material, the protein that makes for muscle, blood, frame, life. Skimmilk, however blue looking and distasteful to 'eplucures, is healthful, strengthening food for man and its ex- 1953 2003 cellent for fattening fowls and growing stock, being so easily digested and quickly turned to growth. The Indiana experiment station recently proved its worth as a grower for young chickens. Two lots of young Rocks and Houdans a month old were given the same grains, greens and meat foods, and in addition half of them received all the skimmilk they could drink. It was soon discovered that the lot red skimmilk had a better digestion, ate more of the mixed food and made a more satisfactory growth, their weekly gains being 4.46 ounces, the others gaining but 2.02 ounces per week. The most rapid growth occurred when most skimmilk was consumed. Skimmilk is especially good for chickens in hot weather, but chickens must be kept out of it as they are in a detriment when drained on their plumage, and the vessels must be scaled often to keep them sweet. The vessel, shown is excellent. Chicks and dirt cannot, get into it. Only a small quantity is exposed at a time, and the milky kept shaded and cool. DON'TS. Don't kick the bucket over, no failure. People are making mistakes every day, but the tools that make the same mistakes arise. Don't so into the poultry business without practical experience, when you have plenty of money to spend for your mistakes. Don't pour in cleaning that poultry yard, and this doesn't mean just raking. Filthy ground should be removed and replaced with fresh, or it should be plowed under and planted to quick growing greens. Don't let a wounded fowl remain with the flock. Hens will sometimes eat the whole comb off a rooster that has been injured by fighting. Don't let the turkeys take care of their lice. You'll be taking care of their remains if you do.
