The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII Two Thousand Delegates Expct'd EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR ODD-FELLOWS Will Convene In Masonic Temple August 12th—Spirited Fight For Grand Master—Households of Ruth Meet Also—Public Exercises|at New St. Philip The district grand lodge No. 18, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of the state will hold its sessions in this city on August 12 to 16th. The convention will be held at the Masonic Temple, Gwinnett street, and the Households of Ruth, who will meet at the same time, will hold their sessions at St. Philip church, Charles and West Broad streets, where all public exercises of both the lodges and households will take place. The attendance at the convention gives promise of being the largest in the history of the order and no less than two thousand delegates are looked for by those who have charge of the arrangements. The matter of securing accommodations for the visitors has been a stupendous undertaking, but the committee on homes has succeeded in getting room for all who have applied and chairman W. D. Kennedy is confident that the visitors will be adequately cared for. The coming grand lodge will be one of the most important and interesting in the history of the order. The present Grand Master, B. S. Ingram of Macon, will be opposed by W. L. Hughes of Dublin, and a hot fight for the position is anticipated. Grand Treasurer Wm. Driskell of Atlanta will have as an opponent the present Deputy Grand Master, Dr. R. H. Cobb of Columbus. It is also rumored that others of the grand officers will be strongly opposed. The older members of the order predict that the coming fight for grand lodge offices will be the hardest and most closely waged that the Odd Fellows of the state have ever witnessed and there is much speculations as to the out come. The convention will be opened by public exercises on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time it is expected that Mayor Davant will deliver an address in behalf of the city. At the business sessions of the lodges Grand Master Ingram will preside, and Mrs. L. P. Fortune, district most noble governor, will preside over the households. The principal address on Tuesday will be delivered by Doctor B W. S. Daniels. The entire program of the grand lodge will be found on page five. acred Concert Very Enjoyable. The sacred concert which was given at the First Congregational church, Taylor and Habersham streets, on last Sunday afternoon, was very much enjoyed and was attended by an appreciative audience. The main feature of the program was Mr. Wm. Speights, of Boston, Mass. Mr. Speights was in excellent voice and the three selections which he rendered were very much enjoyed. The local talent on the program was at its best. The concert was given under the auspices of the Congregational Brotherhood. Savannah Home Association Installation On last Wednesday night the installation of officers of the Savannah Home Association took place at their reading room. They had for their guests the ladies of the branch. The officers were installed by Mr. W. S. Roundfield, after which refreshments were served. The Association will have their annual picnic at Lincoln Park on August 14th, at which time many visiting Odd-Fellows and Ruths will be in the city attending the Odd-Fellows Grand Lodge. Following are the officers: Ed. H. Burke, president; W. H. Herbert, vice-president; Ed. R. Collins, financial secretary; H. E. Peyton, recording secretary; I. C. Butler, treasurer; P. B. Biggins, bank book-keeper; Jos. J. Brown, chairman of house; James Woodson, chaplain; J. J. Smalls, advocate. BOSTON LAWYER LEAVES BAR ASSOCIATION Says Association is Drawing Color Line A. E. Pillsbury, one of the leading lawyers of Boston, Masa, holding that the American Bar Association is drawing the color line, has withdrawn his membership from the association, and writes the following letter: Frederick E. Wadnams, Esq., Treasurer of the American Bar Association, My dear Sir: As I cannot respond in the usual form to your reminder of my annual dues, you are entitled to know my reasons. The action of the association at Milwaukee and the conduct of the Executive Committee which preceded it, in trying to expel the colored members in open disregard of the constitution, and when this attempt failed, in drawing the color-line, by application of the gag against all other colored lawyers equally entitled to admission under the Constitution, dissolved my relations with the Association. Of the various offences involved in that proceeding, color prejudice, contemptible as that appears to me, is perhaps the least. Conduct of which the prevailing elements are cowardice, hypocrisy, fraud and force is not the conduct of gentlemen or of such lawyers as I am-acustomed to associate with, though I make no pretensions to superior virtue. This is not merely my own opinion of it. The public press recognized its true character, and made the association deservedly an object of public ridicule and contempt. Would you or would Judge Dickinson, the putative father of the bastard resolution, like to see the specifications, or the press comments in that part of the country where the press is free, collated and published? I was invited to join in the reconstrance of ex-President Storey and other Massachusetts members, but regarded it as inadequate to the case. Apparently that faint note of dissent is not likely to be heard or heard of again, though the action of the association is peculiarly an affront to Massachusetts, which is responsible for two of the three colored members. Undoubtedly the action at Milwaukee will stand, as anybody who saw the riot there would expect. There is at least one Massachusetts member who takes the metamorphosized association at its true value. A handful of Southern color-phobes, with the help of the usual subservient Northern majority, have captured it and turned it into a sort of Boyrbon club, to which professional character and standing is not a title to admission, the first qualifications now being one unknown to the Constitution and having no relation to anything professional. I never came into any such compact as this. The association is no longer a Bar Association, in any proper sense. As the association which I joined, it has ceased to exist, and I am relieved from paying it the formal compliment of resigning my membership.] Grand United Order Win Gdd Fellows' Sult The Grand United Order. of Odd-Fellows of America has won out before the state supreme court in its efforts to obtain a permanent injunction against the use of the name "Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, Leeds Unity," by an organization in Macon. The case upon which the supreme court based its ruling was that of Emory et al vs. the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, etc., et al. In the Bibb county superior court the "Grand United Orders of Odd Fellows of America" had obtained an injunction against the "Ancient Orders of Odd Fellows, Leeds Unity, and the members of the latter organization had excepted an appeal. Passing upon the case, the supreme court holds that the lower court did not err in holding that the name of the defendants' order was "substantially similar" to the name of the plaintiffs' order, and a "colorable imitation" thereof. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1913 Crowd To Hear Tuskegee Band CONCERT AT THEATER WILL BE SOCIETY AFFAIR Band Meeting With Much Success on Tour of the Country—Played to Over 6000 in St. Louis. That the concert by the Tuskagee Institute band on the 18th of next month at the Savannah Theater will be one of the largest social affairs in the city in recent years is shown by the already great demand for tickets in every section of the city. The appearance of this band in Savannah will be the first time that such a large organization of trained Negro musicians has appeared here and their performance will be the means of bringing out one of the largest gatherings of Negroes in the history of the city, and it is probably that a considerable number of white people will take advantage of the opportunity of attending the concert. The appearance of the band in cities of the north and middle west has brought out thousands of people and their concerts have been very highly spoken of by the papers. Paricularly noteworthy were the performances in St. Louis and Chicago. In the former place the attendance was over six thousand, and in the latter the crowd was estimated to be the largest ever assembled at the Seventh Armory. Tickets for the concert will be on sale during the first part of next week in the various sections of the city. The band will appear here under the auspices of the local branch of the National Negro Business League, and a portion of the proceeds from the concert will be given to Charity Hospital and the Old Folks and Orphan's Home. Honored for Long Service Well Rendered Among the echoes of the last grand session of the Grand Court Order of Calanthes of Georgia, was the unstinted and spontaneous honoring of the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. R. L. Barnes of this city. For about eighteen years Mrs. Barnes has been at the head of the Calanthes of the State. When she was first elected there were but a few courts with a small number of listless members. She immediately went to work and inspired the membership, worked the state and each succeeding year she reported an increased number of courts, members and finance. To-day she has a grand army of noble women and sir knights following loyally after her leadership. Every part of Georgia can be found an established court with enthusiastic members. Through her ability she has caused the finance of the Grand Court to keep apace with its numerical growth and many thousands of dollars are in the banks to its credit. Mrs. Barnes is beloved by every Calanthian in the state and honored and respected by all of the sir knights. All of them appreciate her noble efforts for the order. At the last Grand Court session in Brunswick, her faithful followers were eager to do her more honors and prove their love and loyalty by voting her a foreign trip to be taken whenever she was desirous of doing so. Mrs. Barnes may not take advantage of this trip until next year. The voting of this trip proves but slightly the high regards in which she is held. In this respect the Calanthians of Savannah lead. This was proven in a minor way when a number of them gathered at her home last week and presented her with that, handsome gift. All of the friends of Mrs. Barnes hope for her many years of health and service. Superintendent of the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company, Mr. Wylie Smith was elected Grand Secretary of the Good Samaritans at the annual session held at Barrington, Ga., during the week. Mr. Smith was also elected president of the Southside social club at its last meeting. Union Mutual Restored To Policy Holders PLANS TO MAKE STOCK COMPANY FRUSTRATED Old Officers All Reinstated—Mr. J. C. Lindsay Reelected A Director and Head of Local Office Some weeks ago in one of our contemporaries, glaring headlines appeared, with cuts galore, announcing the reorganization of the Union Mutual Association as a stock company, with the officers elected. This information, especially that part showing that President Walker who organized this association, and Mr. Driskell who made it in Georgia, were side-tracked, was not favorably received by many. Now comes information from reliable sources that the reorganization plan has been frustrated and that the association will remain under the control of the policy holders. The old officers who made the company are still in charge, Rev. T. W. Walker, president, and Mr. Wm. Driskell, secretary and manager. Mr. J. C. Lindsay; who has charge of the local office, is a member of the board of directors. The popularity of these gentlemen is proven by the happy manner in which their friends received the announcement of their continued control of the association. Race Pride and Consciousness The Jews are class-conscious, and the Negro needs to cultivate class consciousness also. A short time ago 42 Jewish organizations decided to organize a censorship of theaters of all grades and to disfavor, denounce and punish caricatures of Jewish traits upon the stage. And this was not an idle threat. Jewish theatrical managers refused to stage such plays, Jewish theater-goers refused to patronize them and Jewish influence and money, in a hundred different directions, were set against plays unnecessarily disparaging and traducing to Jewish character. The theater is an educator and stands side by side with the church, school, press, and platform in its influence on determining the predominant sentiment of the community. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" stood on the stage with Douglass and Philips in the mighty works of up turning slavery. If the stage persistently gives low down representations of the Negro, it will build up and embitter sentiment against him. The theater goer who is "tickled to death" by the ridiculosities of Bert Williams or Dudley, and the manner in which the actor characteristically traduces the Negro, goes home cogitating on new postulates on Negro inferiority. Out of the loins of these cogitations spring the whelps, industrial ostracism, Jim Crowism and segregation. The time has come for the advanced Negro to organize against the "niggerisms" on the stage, against the coon songs, against the ragged acting, against the Negro never appearing on the stage except as something grotesque and absurd, and that, too, with the barest possible semblance to something of the human kind. We would like to see Robert Charles, Tuscumbia Reynolds, L'Ouverture or some other noble Negro character on the stage, about whose career fancy might weave the "mazes of some wild and wondrous tale," but we are tired of seeing the flat-footed, long-heeled, big-mouthed gorilla-looking fellow on the stage, calling himself a Negro, who deals out to you chunks of absurdities and incoherencies until you think you are in an insane asylum and it is giving an exhibition of one of its classes. The effect of such acting on the mind of the white auditor is to sink the Negro lower in his estimation; upon the colored auditor its effect is to teach no lesson at all, but to start out on the road young Negroes to sing "coon songs" and do "monkey business." These "niggerisms" are not fit to be exhibited to our young women and men. Many of them have immoral suggestions, none of them have either wit, humor, or sense and all should be let absolutely alone.—St. Louis Advance. National Negro Business League The Local Negro Business League of Philadelphia has issued a splendidly printed program outlining its plans for the entertainment of the hundreds of delegates who are expected to attend the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

Delegates intending to be present are urged to send notice of such intention at once to the Chairman of the Committee on Homes, Mr. John W. Harris, League Headquarters, 1438-40 Lombard street, Philadelphia. The Committee on Arrangements has secured rooms in the Baltimore House, 1438-40 Lombard street, for Convention Headquarters and mail intended for delegates may be sent to this address.

Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who will furnish any additional information that may be needed or desired. Installation The installation of Local Union No. 318 was held at Seabrook's Hall, West Broad and Minis streets, on Monday July 7th. The following officers were installed: J. P. Garnett, president; Henry Frasier, vice president; J. M. Saures, recording secretary; J. S. Adkins, finance secretary; E. L. Martin, treasurer; Trustees, W. H. Burgess, C. W. Swinton, Henry Frasier; Frank Perrineau, conductor; Arnett Gaston, warden; James Fox, H. C. Holmes, Jr., Arthur E. Deves, auditors. After the installation the local repaired to Russel street hall, where a collation was spread for them. President Garnett asked the blessing of the Diety, and every member was seated at the table which fairly groaned under the load of the delicacies that it held. The collation is one to be remembered by every member of the union, as every one enjoyed himself to the highest. NUMBER 45 Work Begun on Pekin Theatre WILL ACCOMMODATE ABOUT ONE THOUSAND Slight Changes Made in Plans—New Structure to be Very Attractive—Work to be Completed in About Sixty days—Immense Crowds Attend Shows During the first part of the week work of enlarging the Pekin theatre was begun. Manager Stiles has made several changes from the original plans in the enlarging of the house. Instead of having the new house extend from Charles street lane to Oak, the structure will take up the space of the yard of the six small houses on Charles St. lane, in the rear of the bakery on the corner, and that of the six houses on Oak street, adjoining the shoe shop in the rear of the saloon on the corner of West Broad street. The change in plans was thought best by the management of the house because of the fact that the original ideas, if carried out, would have called for a structure whose seating capacity would have been in the neighborhood of 2000, and as it was desired to utilize a portion of the space otherwise and thereby have the capacity of the house about 1100 persons, this change was effected. The situation of the main portion of the theatre between the six one-story houses on the lane and street will afford the patrons of the theatre ample light and ventilation, and the fact that all of the adjoining property, with exception of the bakery, is owned by the proprietors of the theatre will enable the management to easily enlarge the new house in the course of coming years, should the patronage warrant such. The new house will have a much larger stage-than that which the present house affords-and in view of the fact that the shows of the theatre are being constantly increased in the number of performers, larger stage space will greatly assist the management in perfecting the plays. The new stage will be about 10 by 20 feet. The entrance to the new house will lead through an arcade which will take up the entire space of the present house. The arcade will be very attractively ornamented and very artistic in appearance. On one side will be a large soda fountain and confectionery stand, and on the opposite side will be a cigar stand. The new house will be constructed of wood and will have all the latest appointments. The main floor will seat about six hundred and fifty and the gallery about three hundred, while the boxes will give accommodation to about sixty two. The latter will be arranged in a way that will give their occupants a very advantageous view of the stage. The comfort of the performers has been well looked after in the new house. The dressing rooms will be large, well ventilated and very convenient. Manager Stiles expects to have the new house completed in about sixty days, and the show which will open the house will be one of the largest Negro troups which has ever appeared here. The attendance at the Pekin during the past two months has been the largest in the history of the house and all records in point of attendance have been broken. During past few weeks, there have been crowds turned away each night, and this-week's show has been adjudged by many the best in the history of the house. It is full of action from beginning to end and the costumes are very attractive. Stage Manager Russell is very much pleased with the complimentary remarks which the show has elicited on all sides and promises another big one next week. Marriage Announcement Mrs. Rosa Jones announces the marriage of her daughter, Mabel Elliot, and Mr. Oscar Mizell which occurred on Thursday July 17th in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Mizell will be at home after August 1st, Asheville, N. O. Second Baptist Church The services on Sunday morning were a gem. The pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, preached from the text Job 2:10, subject "Job's Comforter." The pastor is preaching a series of sermons on the book of Job. These sermons are very interesting. Short services Good singing. The public is cordially invited to attend all the services. The Sunday school meets at 9 a. m. The B. Y. P. U. at 7 p. m. St Philip Dots The third quarterly conference of St. Philip's for 1913 convened at 8:30 p. m., on Friday night, Presiding Elder A. L. Sampson officiating. This is the first quarterly conference held by Rev. Sampson at St. Philip. He was appointed to fill the unexpired term of the late Presiding Elder T. N. M. Smith. This was one of the most successful quarters ever held at this church, the reports from all the departments were good. Memorial services were held in respect of Rev. T. N. M. Smith. Rev. P. W. Greatheart and Rev. E. D. Giddings were among the visitors of the conference. Mrs. Meanss Saxon, one of St. Philip's faithful members was buried from the church on Wednesday of last week. Bro. F. L. Dixon, one of our faithful stewards and class leaders for many years, was buried from the church last Sunday afternoon. The trolley ride took place on Wednesday night of last week. Presiding Elder Sampson preached at 11 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. on Sunday, both sermons being very good. Our members must remember that we are collecting pledge money every day. On account of our members not paying their pledges on time, we are compelled to collect every day. The following services will be held on tomorrow; prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 8 p. m.; A. C. E. League at 7 p. m.; preaching at 8:30 p. m. Allen Endeavor The Allen Endeavor Union met at Monumental Church on last Sunday at 4 p. m. The topic; favorite verses from Hosea 14:1-9 was opened by the Savannah District President, Mr. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. The following discussed the topic: Mesdames H. E. Smith, Lou Drayton, H. Clark, L. C. Irwin, S. F. Faut, Rev. B. S. Hanuah, and Rev. L. A. Townsley. Solos were rendered by Misses Rosa L. Walker, Belle Brown, Bettie Cook and Clifford Glover. The meeting was full of enthusiasm. Next session will be held at New St. Philip, the third Sunday in August. Mr. W. L. Vickers, president; Miss Sadie Lighburn, reporter. F. B. B. Church On Sunday morning there was quite a large attendance at church. After reading the lesson Rev. Wright introduced Rev. Blue of Jacksonville, Fla., who preached a very instructive sermon, that put us to thinking. His subject was "Cast your net on the right side." One of the most striking points in the sermon was that we are all casting our influence for evil or for good. He spoke of the various evils of today and how both young and old men and women are being shipwrecked by the same. We were truly pleased to hear him. The choir sang, "God will take care of me." The morning light is breaking," was sung, and prayer was offered. Mr. George E. Taylor, of Iowa, was introduced, his complimentary remarks were very encouraging. As usual, Rev. Wright preached at night, to a large crowd. Despite the inclement weather on Monday night, there was a good crowd present to hear Mr. Taylor lecture on the "Race Problem." Attend our services at any time, you are welcome. Evangelical Ministers' Union. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday with Rev. W. V. Daughtry presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. J. A. Martin. After having addressed the throne of grace the 29th. Psalm was then read. The topic of the day was a paper read by Rev. J. A. Martin, subject, "The proper Relation between Science and Religion." The paper was masterly handled, and was lengthily discussed. The Union tendered the writer a rising vote of thanks. Rev. Geaudy, P. E., of the C. M. E. Church of South Carolina was present. Come out next Tuesday. Visitors always welcome. Beth Eden Baptist Church Corner Lincoln and Gordon Streets It is with great pleasure we announce that the pastor, Rev N. M. Glark, who has not been able to be out for about two weeks on account of illness, is now better, and will fill the pulpit at both of the services Sunday.

Local Happenings Bolled Down for Hasty Readers. An ordinance proposing the rating of bakeries and restaurants will be passed by council. Ground was broken on Monday morning for the new edifice of the South Side Baptist Church, Barnard and 32nd streets. Henry Johnson was sentenced in the Superior Court to life imprisonment for the killing of Joe Grant, near Burroughs station about two months ago. While working on the roof of the compress building on Hutchinson island, Mr. William Carter sustained painful injuries as a result of a fall. Joe Dare, a white man, was seriously shot by his wife, while quarreling early Sunday morning. More than 2,500 excursionists were in the city last Sunday. A Portuguese sailor was drown while in swimming in the river near the O. S. S. wharves. Nearly two inches of rain fell on Tuesday. For a short while several low places were flooded, also the subway. J. C. Paul, an ex-fireman and ex-policeman, was arrested on Tuesday charged with sending in false fire alarm. A new trial was denied J. B. Smith, the Claxton banker, charged with forgery. He was sentenced by Judge Charlton to four years in the penitentiary. It is reported that an adverse report has been made against the local postmaster. He will be granted a hearing before the case is decided. The post office receipt for the year amounted to $280,029.55, an increase of $16,043 more than that of last year. Lottie Garrity, a white woman, was charged with robbing a white man of $20.00 while on a joy ride. Among the Masons Within the next two weeks the Grand Chapter O. E. S. will meet in Waycross. The attendance will be large and the meeting interesting. Too many are praying for a harvest of love who have planted no seeds of kindness.—Selected. Masony stands for truth in all things. Are you carrying out that idea in your life? It is well to "live Masonry," provided you can do it without talking too much about it in public conveyances.—Masonic Standard. Masonry stands for two things that are of prime importance in the development of the race: the search for truth, and the helping hand.—Masonic Standard. Masonry is not written on the sand or the oak, or even on the solid rock, but on the hearts of men. It is written in characters of living light that shall live immortal as thought:—The Indian Mason. THE INITIATE The initiate, upon his entrance, soon discovers, if indeed he is a man of sound body and mind, that Masonry deals with matters of vastly more importance to him than petty selfinterest or aggrandisement. He is taught that a real purpose of admitting him was that he might be encouraged in first recognizing God in all. Secondly, Humanity as God's family, and finally, himself as a servant to both of them. He discovers another fact: that Masonry far from being a playground, is a preparatory field for the real labors of life, and that if he would remain loyal to precepts, he, too, must work. It is an oft-quoted Masonic expression that Masons work on the square; that a good Mason should be a square man and various other applications of the square. A square has four sides; therefore, the good Mason who is a square man must build up the four sides of his character. A mason makes himself known among his fellows by signs, tokens and words, but he is known to the world through the four sides of his character. A Mason makes himself known among his fellows by signs, tokens and words, but he is known to the world through the four cardinal virtues; therefore, the four sides of a Mason's character may be said to be Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and Justice. These form a perfect square and each Mason who practices in his life and conduct these virtues, may well enjoy the distinction of being a square man and Mason.—Exchang. PROTECT THE NEW MEMBERS One of the first duties which a Lodge owes to each newly made Mason is to give him a little instruction as to what may be expected of him both for his information and protection. Two cases have just come under the observation of the writer which leads him to believe that a Lodge is in duty bound to protect its members from fraud. A newly made Mason was relieved of $15 by a supposed Mason who put up a hard luck story and appealed to the brother urging his Masonic obligations to relieve distress. Of course the brother who loaned the money never got it back. Another Mason borrowed $10 from a candidate whom he was posting, and not paying it back the candidate's faith in the fraternity was so shocked that he lost all interest in Masonry. It is generally admitted that newly made Masons are the prey of professional Masonic borrowers, frauds imposters and canvassers. Isn't it about time that some means were adopted to protect these brethren and thus save the honor of the fraternity. Illinois Freemason. THE POWERS OF THE MASTER. In commenting on the power and prerogatives of the Worshipful Master of a lodge, Bro. Albert G. Mackey, the eminent writer on Masonic subjects, says: "The first duty of every Mason is to obey the mandate of the Master. But if that mandate should have been unlawful or oppressive; he will find his redress in the Grand Lodge, which will review the case and render justice. This spirit of instant obedience and submission to authority constitutes the great safeguard of the institution. Free masonry more resembles a military than a political organization. The order must at once be obeyed; its character and its consequences may be matters of subsequent inquiry. The Masonic rule of obedience is like the nautical, imperative: Obey orders, even if you break owners." The wise Master will not offend his brethren by overhearing conduct, nor will he issue unnecessary orders to show that he is "monarch of all he surveys." The old saying that "he governs best who governs' least," will apply with special force to Masters of lodges. LODGE HISTORY. Variety, the spice of life, is likewise the spice of Masonry. Of course the variety should be judiciously applied. No one should attempt to introduce improvements" into the work or to vary the ritualistic proceedings. But there are many other ways in which the proceedings can be varied, to the interest of the members. One very good plan would be to have a historical evening. Few of the younger members of a lodge know anything about the early days of that lodge. They will never take the time and trouble to search for records for this information, but they will be greatly interested, if it is given to them in compact form. There is generally at least one newspaperman, or some person gifted with the pen, in every lodge. Let him put the history of the lodge from its installation down to the present, in compact form. Then let this be enlarged upon and enlivened, by the reminiscence of some of the older members. Devote one evening, or apart of several evenings to the presentation of the history. Hunt up old photographs, old newspaper accounts, and other echoes of the past; and bring them to the historical meetings. Foot Trouble Cured It is an absolute fact that most foot trouble is caused by overwork or strains on the muscles and ligaments of the foot that support the arch, carrying the weight of the body. These ligaments, muscles and tendons become tired and relaxed under the enormous work, allowing the arch to lower cause tired aching feet, weak ankles, rheumatism, flat foot, cramped, toes, bunions, callouses etc. Dr. Johnson's Foot Easer will relieve them at once. 603 West Park Avenue. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—Third Quarter, For July 27, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. v, 1-14, Memory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Text, Matt. v, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When Moses and Aaron gathered the elders and Aaron spake the words and did the signs as the Lord commanded the people believed and bowed their heads and worshiped, as they heard that the Lord had visited them and looked upon their affliction. It looked bright, indeed, and deliverance seemed at hand, but the Lord's time had not yet fully come, for Israel needed to be made quite willing to leave Egypt. Even after, they did leave we hear them longing for the food they enjoyed there in spite of their slavery. The message to Pharron from the Lord God of Israel by Moses and Aaron drew from him the sneering reply: "Who is the Lord? * * * I know not the Lord; neither will I let Israel go" (verse 2). Then he accused Moses and Aaron of hindering the people in their work and commanded the taskmasters to lay more work upon the laborers—let them gather their own straw, instead of receiving it, and yet turn out the full quantity of bricks (verses 3-9). He also called the words of the Lord by Moses "valn words" (verse 9). Thus did Rab-shunkeh speak to Hezekiah of the words of the Lord as valn words or words of the lips (II Kings 18-20, margin). Thus do many wise and scholarly men today speak of the words of the Lord concerning the restoration of Israel and the coming of a great deliverer, but in spite of all unbelief "the counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations" (Ps. xxxiii, 11). It was impossible for the children of Israel to turn out as many bricks when they had to gather their own straw; therefore, the officers of the children of Israel were beaten because the work was lacking. Then they cried unto Pharaoh and said that the fault lay with the Egyptian taskmasters, who would not supply straw. He replied, "Ye are idle, and that is the reason ye want to go and sacrifice to your Lord," so the officers of Israel saw that there was no hope for them, and they accused Moses and Aaron of being the cause of it all. Then Moses turned to the Lord and pleaded with him, saying: "Lord, wherefore hast Thou so evil-treated this people? Why hast Thou sent me? * * * Neither hast Thou delivered thy people at all" (verses 22, 23). The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, but is long suffering, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy (II Pet. 3-9; Ps. cill, 8). He has a time for everything, and happy are those who can say, "My times are in Thy hand" (Ps. xxxl, 15). The Lord's reply to Moses was, "Now shalt thon see what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand shall he let them go" (vl, 1). There is something in the name Jehovah which Israel up to this time had not known (vl, 2, 3). It is the greatest name of God in Scripture, being used over 7,000 times. We know but little of the meaning of any of His names, but to me this great name comes with comfort as I think of the great, the mighty God, the Creator of all things, as my Redeemer, a sacrifice for my sins, the One who was and is and is to be, by the sacrifice of Himself delivering me from the wrath to come and working out His purposes because of His own faithfulness. Some do not, perhaps, know that whenever the word God or Lord is all in capitals the name is always Jehovah. In connection with Ex. vl, 1, I have for at least fifteen years had associated in my mind John vl, 6, "He Himself knew what He would do," and there is great rest in both. May we know more fully the great redemption of the Lord and His faithfulness and in faith and patience go quietly on to know Him and to make Him known. Note carefully in chapter vi, 6-8, that the section begins and ends with "I am Jehovah" and includes seven great "I wills," covering the bringing out, the complete deliverance, the making them His people and bringing them into the promised land. He said He would do all because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and because of His own faithfulness. Yet when Moses told these great things to Israel the cruel bondage and their anguish of spirit were so great that they would not hearken (vl. 9). How often in their later history He had to complain that they did not know Him and would not listen to Him, as in Ps. xxxl, 11-13; Isa. i, 2, 3; xxx, 15; xxxvl, 16, and other passages. The Lord then said to Moses: "I am Jehovah. Speak thou unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say unto thee" (vl. 28, 29). That is the whole responsibility of a messenger of the Lord-to receive the word at His mouth and give them-warning from Him. As He said to Jeremiah, "Thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak" (Jer. i, 7). Even the Lord Jesus Himself said, "The Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak" (John xil, 49). Moses again objected, saying, "How shall Pharaoh heartken unto me?" (vl, 12, 30). Contrast the obedience of Isaiah, when the Lord said, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" (Isa. vl, 8.)

Gather your rose leaves while you may and all the other sweet scented blossoms of the garden and field and dry them, mix with spices and sprinkle with alcohol. Then visit the remnant counter and purchase odd lengths of organdles, chiffons, ribbons and silks and from these make flat bags. Take a strip of material ten inches by five or any other proportion you may desire and sew the edges neatly together, leaving a two inch slit at the top. Finish the sides with a flrill of narrow lace and then fill the bag with sweet lavender or potpourri. These make dainty gifts for the bride or for the birthday anniversary and can be used to scent the linens or underclothing. The organdie bags filled with potpourri or sweet lavender are lovely to place among the folds of bed linen. Sets of these bags make dainty prizes or favors for the winter card party or luncheon. What is prettier or more lasting than a bag of potpourri? Midseason Millinery. This dainty and sensible little millinery confection is one of the latest inspirations of the milliner for midsensor wear. The hat is a handmade affair of mahogany colored straw, close fit A SMART CLOSE FITTING SHAPE ting and natty.

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 unsurpassed 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 was begun. 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 living room. When she tells you at this late day she is only beginning to find time to read Ibsen and other "moderns" you naturally wonder whether it is a dancing tea or the opera that has interfered with her education. But you soon learn that musty tones have interested this young woman of twenty-seven. 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 rare book and to identify almost at a glance stolen volumes. Miss Green is deeply interested in the project of developing a university press at Harvard which will eventually 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 exact location of the Kalamazoo river or to be divorced on account of the lack of proper knowledge? "If you are successful in fathering this important legislation at 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. "Statistics 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 n, coarse crochet during the summer and further ornament them with an initial, and then they will be stored in the guest room bureau. HELPFUL WAYS. Kerosene an Excellent Cleanser—Care of Gas Stoves. A housekeeper who prides herself on her excellent management gives the following secret of dusting: She always dips her dusters in paraffin oil after washing them and says it is really astonishing to find how much more effective they are. This is only one of the numerous uses to which she puts 'kerosene. A kerosene soaked rag removes all of the grease from the kitchen sink and leaves it bright and shining. In the same way her store is kept clean. In speaking of stoves it is worth mentioning here that vaseline is considered an excellent substitute for blackening for the gas range. After work on the range hair been finished for the day a rag greased with vaseline should be rubbed over the range inside and out. If this is done while it is still warm, the gas having been turned off, the effect is most satisfactory. Valuable Laundry Hints. Never put things out of hot starch through rubber wringers. It injures the rollers. A new stiff brush makes the best sprinkler for dampening clothes—better even than a tin salt sprinkler. Before washing lace curtains tack a strip of muslin along their outer edges and let it remain until they are dry. and you will thus avoid the usual trouble of sagging. Rubber rollers may be cleaned by rubbing them with a rag dipped in parrafin. The water in which rice has been boiled may be saved and used to stiffen small articles. This is worth noting by the bachelor girl who does her own cooking and also washes her own muslin collars, etc. These muslin collars, she should also remember, must be thoroughly dried before being put away or they will turn limp again. To these may be added many scraps of valuable information for use in the kitchen. To Clean Oilcloth. Oilcloth may be cleaned and brightened by washing with clear water in which a little borax has been dissolved. Wipé with flannel that has been dipped into milk and wrung as dry as possible, or lukewarm water applied with a scrubbing brush will answer equally well, with a final polish with a woolen cloth wrung out of skim milk. To clean paint provide a plate with some best quality of whiting and have ready some clean warm water and piece of flannel, which dip into the water and squeeze nearly dry; then take as much whiting as will adhere to the painted surface, when a little rubbing will instantly remove any dirt or grease; then wash the part well with clean water, rubbing it dry with a chamols. The Food One Needs. All over the world the amount of actual nutriment 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 proteid, 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 a few especially rapid growing stages, need even less than that.—New York American. The Man Who Is Half Sick. A physician recently remarked that "it was an awful punishment to be only slightly ill and have nothing to do." The man who is only halfway sick, if he has nothing to occupy his attention, soon grows morbidly introspective, and his mind becomes filled with exaggerated ideas of his condition. Disease grows and flourishes under such conditions. Regular employment is conducive to health. Work keeps the blood active and the mind away from the physical condition. Health. Radium and Gems. It is possible to change the color of precious and semiprecious stones by exposing them to the action of radium. A German who has devoted himself to this study has obtained remarkable results. He bought sapphires of different kinds and put them in a box with a small quantity of radium. At the end of a month the transformations were as follows: White sapphires had become yellow, blue green, violet blue, wine colored, stones red and dark blue violet.—Harper's. English and Scotch. It being the southerner's turn, he told about a county in Missouri so divided in sentiment that year after year the vote of a single man prohibits the sale of liquor there. "And what," he asked, "do you suppose is the name of the chap who keeps a whole county dry?" Nobody had an idea. "Mackintosh, as I'm alive!" declared the southerner. Everybody laughed except the Englishman. "It's just like a Scotchman to be so obstinate!" he sniffed, and was much astonished when the rest of the party laughed more than ever.—Lipbincott's. Too Plain. "There is certainly one thing people do not want to be told about their photographs." "What is that?" "The plain truth"—Baltimore American.

In several of the northern states especially, arrangements are being made to properly observe the semi- centennial of the emancipation from slavery of our people in the United States. Severalstate legis- latures have made appropriations for this purpose, In this direction the southern states should lead and encourage our people in making a proper showing of their fifty yeaus of progress. Since no state as- sistance has been asked it behooves us to prepare to celebrate this great event in some belitting man- ner all over the state. It is sug- gested that at the coming celebra- tion of Emancipation Day that it be made a memorable vent, by the joining of the forces of the Emancipation Association and the local Negro Business League. As usual the association can prepare the literary part of the celebration and the Business League have charge of a mammoth display, such as floats of the various kinds of business now being conducted by our people in this city. It is not too late to begin preparation for this event. Let the league at its next meeting take it up and discuss it, and if favorable to the movement appoint a committee to act at once. - The increasing rapidity with which imbroglios between street car employees ‘and certain of our substantial citizens are urising, is a just cause for alarm and serious consideration on the part of each and every member of the race. Hardly a day passes but that many of us are made to feel the venomous sting of some invective hurled. by some pompous or dic- tatorial street car employee (con- ductor or motorman) at some in- offensive member of the race- This isindeed to be regretted in view of the fact that it seems to be the disposition of the street rail- way officials to give thecolored pa- trons of their linesa square deal both in accommodation and treat- meat. However, it appears that some of the street car employees (conductors and motorman) feel that they have been especially deputized to humiliate the col- ored passengers of the street cars as much as possible. This is not as it should be, hence astop ought be put to it at once. Our people who patronize the street cars, should see to it first that they obey all of the rules of the com- pany while they are passengers on the cars. They shouid keep within their rights as established by thostate law and at the same time see to it that they do not in- fringe upon the rights of others. Whenever a conductor or motor- man shows a disposition or at- tempts to take away their rights, they should not satisfy them- selves with a parley of words, but. securing the number of the conductor or motorman, report their grievance to the proper authorities. Then if they do not receive redress in keeping with the offense, they should earry their grievances to higher autho- ritizs. There is urgent need for a complete cbange of front so far as the.conduct of the street rail- way conductors and motormen in respect to our people is concern- ed We sincerely trust that the proper authorities will seek to bring about this change before something much to be regretted may happen. At the present critical period in the history of our people, when, by means of the severest tests imaginable, we are being placed on our mottle, it would seem that it would be the aim of every member of the race, whether rich or poor, high or low, to work in harmony with every other mem- bor of the racoin order that our true selves may be brought out in bolder relief to the gaze of the American people. It would seem that no grievance could assume sufficiont weight to cause any one of ustoseek to destroy the use- ee eT Baer ees eT oery ee iee: Saceal case with a great many of our people who style themselves pub- lic spirited and race building in- dividuals. It is especially true with the Emancipation Proclama- tion Commission of New York State, appointed by Governor Sultzer to arrange a suituble ex- position in the state of New York in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and composed of some of the most prominent men of our race in the [state. Bickerings and babblings of divers nature have been taking place with such start- ling regularity until the success of the undertaking is already jeopardized. Think of it! Men of prominence aimong us, appoint- ed to look after the affairs of a proposed celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of a race of which they are members, an office of the most sacred trusts, allowing their time and attention to be so engrossed in the waging of “tea pot tempests” against each other, that they almost, if not wholly, neglect theduties of the office to which they were appoint- ed How can they serve the race when, they remain at dagger’s jpoint with each other? Will grabbing with vengeance at each other’s throat assist in the pro- motion of the cause entrusted to them? “ We believe not. Sooner or later our people will learn that fighting cach other without ‘or on the least provocation, will’ do more harm than good. There are indeed times when men differ in their convictions in regard to matters of a public or private nature. It is even within the rights of one to form decided opinions on these matters of pub- lic or private nature. However, there isno need for one to seek to destroy any and every move- ment for the common good simply because his views .in regard to certain matters do not prevail. We areindeed accustomed to hear- ing the advice that we should seek and make the friendship of tke members of the opposite race, among whom we live. This is all welland good. Itis sound doc- trine tobe sure. We believe in it and have both preached and practiced it. It is our duty to cultivate friendship with our neighbors of the opposite race. However, there isan equally im- portant duty which we must per- form for and among .ourselyes; the duty to cultivate a spirit of co-operative friendship and toler- ance for our own people. We must learn how to bear each oth- er’s burdens. We must learn how to subjugate our thoughts and .ideas to those of others if their thoughts and ideas are shown to possess greater merit than ours. We must cease to show to the world by our action that we are ready and willing to work har- moniously with every other peo- ple save Our own. The governor of New York State has displayed ‘considerable patience in his deal- ing with the disgruntled and war- like members of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission. Con- tinued bickerings on the part of the members of the commission will hardly justify his tolerauce much longer. The members of the commission should be made eitlter to get together or get out to make room for others more congenial. We trust that the members of the commission will pull together and not make it ne- cessary for the governor to order their dismissal. However, there is too much at stake to allow them to remain in office while they spend their time venting their spleen upon each. other. .We sin- cerely trust that the Emancipation Proclamation Commission of the ‘State of New York, composed of some of the most prominent men of the State, will heed the de- ‘mand to cease their onslaughts jupon ‘each other and work for the promotion of the cause for which they were appointed; a fitting celebration of the fiftieth anniver- sary of the freedom of our people, Boxing Contest atLincoln Park Wednesday Nicht.

Oriental Rug Dyes. ‘The dyes employed in the coloring of the materials that go to make up orl- ental rugs have always been the de- spair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some ‘places the custom prevailed of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one another until the dry sea- son arrived, when the contents of the holes were removed by the dyers, who, grinding all together indiscriminately, made shades that vied with the pl- geon’s breast in beauty and with the clouds of sunset in variety.

Many flocks have a few extra layers with the rest ordinary or drones. Now, why not breed from those few bon tons and get a flock up to their standard ingread of breeding from the flock in general and making no progress? Heens that lay few eggs will produce progeny that will lay few eggs; heens that lay many eggs, if mated to males of equal laying strain, are bound to produce pullets of like laying capacity. Note the picture. The hen shown when trapnested laid 243 eggs in her pullet year. Her mother was the one great layer in a flock. Her productiveness being ```markdown ``` Photo by C. M. Barnitz. A PHENOMENAL LAYER. noted, she was mated to a male whose dam was a great layer. From this pair the first season thirty pullets were bred, and from these pullets the second season 500 pullets were raised, many of them magnificent layers and payers. Many people have flocks that are poor clear through, and their progress is downward. Some have flocks that lay "fair to middlin," most of the laying being done by a few fine layers who would pay a profit if they did not have to pay for the feed of the drones as well as their own. Others have flocks that pay. They have eliminated the wasters and bred from the best, and thus, their hens reach maximum production the year around and pay. Now, which kind is your flock? FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Egypt exported 1,152,200 eggs last year, these going to England, France, Austria and Germany. The export season begins Nov. 1 and ends April 30. After that the heat changes eggs to high explosives. Galvanized iron nests are becoming popular. Your tinner can make all you want cheap. They are indestructible, sanitary, light and can be burned out occasionally to kill crawlers. Concrete nests are harder to make and heavy. Wiring and sealing show coops is becoming the rule in some sections where fancier's fowls have been stolen or mutilated at exhibitions. Seals and wire, however, will not protect birds from such rascals. The early sitting hen is nearly always the best winter layer, and she is almost always set on eggs laid by the drone hens that lay in the cheap egg season and do their sitting in hot summer, when eggs are scarce. Ohio now has 9,506 fanciers raising pure bred poultry, and her last egg census shows an egg 'crop of $8,183,-810 dozens per year. Ninety-three per cent of her farm flocks are mongrels. The day old chick business is crowding out the hatching egg trade. One reason for this is because many fanciers have shipped eggs that didn't hatch, and dissatisfied buyers naturally prefer chicks to risking money and time on eggs. Fowls need salt and relish it, but it is very injurious if too much is given. The safe way is to mix it with water, a tablespoonful to the gallon, and use to molsten the mash. The fact that a ben is a strong breeder one season is no sign that she will be the next. The wise fancier is always on the watch for changes in his birds, ready to cull out those that break down after the molt or heavy laying season or suddenly show weakness or develop off points that would be reflected in their offspring. A Chester (Pa.) woman was arrested by the S. P. C. A. and sent to the lock-up for burning a chicken alive because it came into her yard. She certainly must have been hot under the collar, and the cooler was the place for her. A Cleveland (O.) fence company reports selling 25,000,000 rods of fence to poultrymen. This is just a slight hint of the magnitude of the poultry business, which a little while ago was too insignificant as an industry to mention. S.F. Beeler of Waynesboro, Pa., has so connected his hens' nests with the kitchen that when a hen goes on the nest a bell rings in the house. As the rooster often goes on the nest to show the hen the way, the joke must be on Mr. Beeler quite often unless he has invented a rooster that lays also. Practical poultry raisers are making June 1 the limit of hatching operations, so far as laying stock is concerned. Many get no chicks out after May 15. The early chicks have plenty of time to develop into early layers, are strong before the, torrid heat arrives and feed on the abundant insect and vegetable crop of the early months. As England Knows Ua. There are many educated people in England who believe that Henry Clay makes the cigars that go by that name and confuse Daniel Webster with his namesake Noah Webster. The London Telegraph repented the latter error quite recently. A city magistrate had discharged a prisoner charged with a statutory offense under a recent act upon finding 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." A Biting Farewell. Philpotts, bishop of Exeter, who was noted for his biting tongue, had been the guest of Sir John Kennaway at Escot. He was entirely polite when his episcopal chariot was at the door to drive him back to Exeter, 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 have 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 Coleridge. Dickens' Handwriting. It is a singular distinction of Charles Dickens' handwriting that—early formed in those galloping postchalises by lantern light—it became not only as clear as Thackeray's, but more beautiful than any other handwriting in the world. It has movement, grace, charming form in the capitals and that indefinable 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 sort of gigantic commentary on the Mishnah, but is a commentary of which enormous portions seem to have absolutely nothing to do with the text on which it comments. When "Thirteen" Was 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 1776 asserted that the rebels considered the number lucky and attributed to a party of returned naval prisoners the statement that "thirteen dried clams were a rebel's daily ration; that Washington had thirteen toes and thirteen teeth in each jaw; that the regular rebel family comprised thirteen children, each expecting to become a general at the age 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 ago. Toast Limits A right honorable member of parliament had the first, response on the toast list at an English banquet. He began drearly 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 twitch his coattails 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. If I cannot speak longer than this I refuse to speak at all."—Saturday Evening Post. Most Versatile Postman. The most versatile postman of any time was probably the late H. 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 he lost his voice, he was an actor—he was one of the original cast of "Black Eyed Susan." He wrote innumerable farces 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 a local reputation as a violinist. Many of his pictures are hung in the wards of King's College hospital. POULTRY NOTES BY C.M. BARNITZ RIVERSIDE PA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [These articles and illustrations must not be reprinted without special permission.] AT REST. They were passing through a graveyard, - Mid the monuments so white. And were reading the inscriptions As they glanced from left to right. And they stopped beside a green grave Where were flowers of the best And read beneath a woman's name The simple words "At Rest." "Twas time that Mary had a rest," Said one who stopped to weep. "She never had a chance to rest Nor got a good night's sleep. "With her husband and her babies And the house to keep aright, Why, the poor soul had no moment For her comfort day or night. "Must feel good to her to rest once After all those weary years With their burdens and their labors And their troubles and their tears. "Lovely flowers they have placed there, At her foot and at her head. What a pity that they waited Until Mary dear was dead!" SKIMMILK NUTRITIVE. 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 epicures, is healthful, strengthening food for man and is ex- ```markdown ``` Photo by C. M. Barnitz 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 fed 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 2.62 ounces per week. The most rapid growth occurred when most skimmilk was consumed. Skimmilk is especially good for chickens in hot weather, but chicks must be kept out of it, as it is a detriment when daubed on their plumage, and the vessels must be scalded 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 milk is kept shaded and cool. DON'TS. Don't kick the bucket over one failure. People are making mistakes every day, but it's only fools that make the same mistake twice. Don't go into the poultry business without practical experience unless you have plenty of money to spend for your mistakes. Don't forget to clean up that poultry yard, and this doesn't mean just raking. Flithy 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. Don't let squabs sit in filth. It's a sin, a shame, an inane and insane method. Don't try too many side issues along with your poultry. Too many irons in the fire prevent many from doing one thing well.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [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 corn for the table should be made by the 10th of Jply, and if it is put in by the 4th 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 table-spoonfuls of oil 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 rosebushes 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 litter has been taken from her. This plan is good not only for the backward pigs, but the little chaps will be of assistance to her in the drying off process. Following an apparently dormant period of five or six-months, a three year old poinsettia that the writer has has taken on new life with a remarkably vigorous growth. 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 annoyed 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. From this beginning the practice spread until it became general in France and in other parts of the world. Those who have tried it suggest the common moth balls as a very effective method of keeping the little striped beetles away from cucumber, squash and melon vines. Three or four should be pressed into the soil in each hill, deep enough so that they will not roll around. --- A live western merchant offered a substantial prize to the customer who would bring the largest family to his store on a given sale day. The man who won the prize showed up with a wife and thirteen 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 a bad situation. Beekeepers will be interested in a bulletin lately issued by the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture at Washington, No. 169, treating of sackbrood, 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 resist electrical currents is largely an 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 of the Chippewa Power company, which carries a current totaling 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 sand 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 ill they should be upbraided 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 glives. 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 rundown 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 Williamette 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. The Other Side. "I want you to know that I am happily married." "And your husband—is he?"—Boston Transcript. A Lapland Wedding. Mr. F. H. Butler, who has traveled much in Lapland, is of opinion that that country affords a far more interesting experience for holiday makers than Switzerland. "A wedding I saw was the picture of happiness." he says. "The bride was attired in red, with a red silk scarf and tassels, white shoes, fur gaiters and red gloves. The wedding feast consisted of reindeer meat, marrowbones from the legs, reindeer tongues and reindeer cream and coffee. It is the practice for the dogs to attend the ceremonies, and sometimes the proceedings are disturbed by the dogs fighting."—London Opinion. In Wottest Wales. Rather unexpectedly the slopes of Snowdon, a Welsh mountain only 3,560 feet high, have proven one of the wettest regions of the world. The average annual rainfall of the globe is about thirty-six inches, that of tropical Cherrapongee, Assam, is 610 inches, with an extreme of 905 inches in 1861, and that of Maranham, Brazil, 227 inches. Seathwaite, a little village of the English valley of Borrowdale, has claimed the third highest record. The meteorological office, however, has reports from thirteen Welsh stations, of which Lluchfa, at an altitude of 2,500 feet, showed the greatest European rainfall-247 inches—and eleven exceeded the 143 inches of Seathwaite. Oysters of Japan As early as 1720, at least, oysters were grown by artificial means in Japan, and long before the descendants of the Mayflower pilgrims had realized the desirability of oyster culture the Japanese had grasped the situation and provided for an enlightened administration and utilization of oyster grounds. Old as the industry is in Japan, it has not grown to great importance in itself, the aggregate output being valued at less than $250,000 a year. What Would They Do? Two men at a show were watching with carefully suppressed feelings of anxiety a man and woman who, holding by their teeth only, were whirling rapidly high above the stage. "Don't they look bored?" said one of the watchers. Whereupon his companion began to chuckle softly and was asked what had so hardened his heart that he could be amused in the face of danger. "I was just wondering," he replied, "what they would do if they had to yawn"-New York Sun. Misleading Names. Perhaps the most misleading name on the map is that of Tierra del Fuego, the "Land of Fire." The name would imply that it was a land of volcanoes in constant activity. The fact is, however, that it contains no volcanoes and is a country of perpetual wet and cold. It got its name from the fact that it was sighted by Magellan at night in consequence of a large fire having been ignited by the natives on shore. The same discoverer happened to have very fine weather after he had rounded the Horn and so gave the name "Pacific" to a part of the ocean which is exceptionally subject to storms. Well, the Sound Was There. A London school class had been accustomed to sing each afternoon a short hymn, one line of which ran, "Weak and sinful though we be." On a new teacher taking charge she was puzzled at the children's very indefinite articulation of this line and on investigating found that nearly half the class had been rendering it, "We can sing, full though we be." Falling From a Horse Knowing how to fall from a horse is an art, and it is here that a professional rider or an amateur who is in daily practice has a big advantage over one who gets on a horse's back occasionally. The one may fall as often as the other, but the professional will be uninjured, while the occasional will probably need an ambulance. Spitaful. She was beginning to show her years, and she was spiteful. One day she called on an old friend. When the old friend appeared and the greetings were over, the visitor sweetly remarked: "You don't show your age at all, darling." "Oh, don't 17" cried the old friend, delighted. "No," said the other. "I was looking for it in the sitting room. When did you scratch it out of the family Bible?"—Exchange. HAPPINESS Do not run after happiness, but seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you. The world will seem a very good place and the world to come a better place still. The beautiful thing about life is that, no matter how lowly our place is, it is in the King's sight. There are a great many things we cannot do, but we must do what we can, especially the little duties.—Margaret Sangster. Daughter—Wasn't Julius Caesar one of the strongest men that ever lived, pa?

May the touch of the spirit be felt in the hearts of the young, drawing them early into the pleasant ways of wisdom and the sweet, safe paths of duty. In glad sincerity may they dedicate their morning days and opening lives to the love of all things pure and good and to the practice of all things true and right—Charles Gordon Ames. A Fairly Big Fish. Paddy had been telling the story of a big pike he caught, too big to get into the boat, so that he had to be towed behind (with the gaff in him). Then followed this dialogue: "What weight, Paddy? "Divvil a know I know, but he was an ojous baste." "Was that the biggest you ever saw, Paddy? Then Paddy gave a description of the biggest he ever saw. "What weight, Paddy? "Sorra a bit I know. He was a terror." "How big, Paddy? "Sure, I can't tell to a foot or two, but a man could walk down his throat." On this, incredulity; but Paddy "clinched the matter and silenced all controversy" by adding, "Wid his hat on."—Exchange Congenial Labor. "Why is it that the telephone operators at the exchange are all women?" Mrs. Brown asked her husband. "Well," answered Mr. Brown, "the managers were probably aware that no class of persons work so faithfully as those who are in love with their labor, and they knew that women would be fond of the work in telephone exchanges." "What is the work?" Mrs. Brown inquired. "Talking!" answered Mr. Brown. Easy Riming. William Makepeace Thackeray in his lines "Peg of Limavady" acknowledges himself a cockney. It was hardly necessary for him to do this, as not only in that poem, but in others, he makes the syllable "ing" rime with syllables like "in" and "en," failing to sound the concluding "g." Richard Harris Barham, of Ingoldsbay Legends, a moet facile rimer, has done the same thing over and over again, thus lightening his labors greatly in the pursuit of rimes. Poverty of a Prince. A man from Oxford is responsible for the following story, says the Gossiper of the Liverpool Post, which he assured me was true: When undergrads ask their friends to dinner and the theater it is understood that each person pays his own shot. One day a Magdalen man, meeting the then Prince of Wales, asked him to join his forthcoming party to dine and the play. "I should love to go," sald his royal highness, "but—the fact is I haven't got the 3 shillings!" "Then why don't you write home for some money?" sald his friend. "I have," replied the prince, "but mother says I must make what I have do till the end of the term." Medieval Theater National theaters—of an open air kind—at one time existed in England, as Parran Round, in Cornwall, testifies. That is a vast amphitheater turfed to seat over 2,000 persons. The beginnings of British dramatic art sprang from these open air theaters, where the medieval plays were produced—and forgotten. The Virginia Plover The most wonderful bird flight noted is the migratory achievement of the Virginia plover, which leaves its haunts in North America and, taking a course down the Atlantic, reaches the coast of Brazil in one unbroken flight of fifteen hours, covering a distance of over 3,000 miles at the rate of four miles a minute. Exchange of Courtesies. "This man who wants board on credit claims to be a foreign nobleman." "Show you any proof?" asked the proprietor. "Showed me a photograph of a castle."
