The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII Compromise Effected In OddFellows' Election PUBLIC SESSION AT CHURCH ALMOST ENDED IN RIOT Election of Officers Conducted Amidst Scenes of Turmoil—B. S. Ingram and B. J. Davis Both Re-elected—H. L. Johnson Endorsed For Grand Master of Country—All Delegates Searched Before Entering Hall Not within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants of the city can there be recalled a public meeting of any sort which was more turbulent or frought with more rioting scenes than the opening session of the District Grand Lodge No.18, G.U.O.of O.F., of America, than that which was held at St. Philip A.M.E. church, Charles street, on last Tuesday morning. The meeting was the scene of wild excitement from beginning to end. It was supposed to have been a meeting of welcome to the Grand Lodge, but instead it developed into a wholesale denunciation of the manner in which the order has been conducted in the state for the past several years. With the possible exception of two speakers the entire program took a very ugly turn and caused scenes to be enacted which were both threatening and disgraceful. It was apparent from the very beginning of the meeting that there was going to be trouble. After the introductory speech of the master of ceremonies, which was strongly against the Davis faction, hostilities began and there were numerous interruptions of the program. The Davis men openly resented the attacks made upon them by the speakers, while the Ingram men loudly applauded every effort made in denunciation of the grand secretary and his followers. Wholesale charges of fraud, extravagance and of the officers being parasites were made by the speakers on the Ingram side, and the members of the order shook their fists in each others' faces and uttered bitter threats. The first real clash came when Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, of this city, who was the last, speaker on the printed program, attempted to reply to the address made by W. L. Hughes of Dublin, the Davis candidate for Grand Master. Pandemonium broke out at this point and Dr. Daniels was only able to proceed for about one minute with his speech when cries of "Stick to the program! Put him out!" rang out from a coterie of Davis men and were taken up by their adherents. Efforts of the presiding officer to quell the disturbance were in vain and the house remained in a state of disorder for five minutes. Members of the order stood up upon the benches, many women became frightened and attempted to leave the building. Seeing that it was useless to try to continue, Dr. Daniels took his seat and the program was resumed and carried out, but not without many interruptions. However, certain utterances in the address of the Grand Master caused his opponents to start the disturbances anew. This time it looked as if a fight would be precipitated and it was with difficulty that the members refrained from blows. A heated controversy arose between Professor John McIntosh, of this city, and the grand master, on account of the latter's use of the word "nigger." After a short parley, shouts of "Put him out! Throw him out!" resounded throughout the church, and C. W. Cargo, who was evidently acting in the capacity of sergeant at arms or the like, sprang from the rostrum to Prof. McIntosh, who was advancing to the rostrum, and angrily shaking his fist in the professor's face threatened to eject him from the meeting. The meeting was then in a turmoil and shouts and screams were heard from every section of the church. At this juncture a female member of the Household of Ruth, defending the professor, rushed between him and Cargo. Pandemonium reigned for about fifteen minutes and then order was INSTITUTE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Tuskegee Institute Band which will appear at Savannah Theatre Monday Night August 18. restored and the grand master finished his address. some confusion, but the report was finally accepted. After one son made the announcement that the grand master declared Davis National Negro The credentials committee was then about to be announced by the grand master when Davis stepped forward and attempted to announce another committee which he claimed the grand master approved sometime prior to the meeting. The grand master refuted the statement made by Davis and continued to announce the names of the committee. The uprour was deafening and H. L. Johnson, the order's attorney, attempted to repeat the names of the Davis' committee to a reporter from one of the daily papers. A crowd of widely excited partisans of each side surged around the reporter and disorder continued, and many left the church in disgust. The meeting then came to a close with the benediction announced by the pastor of the church, amidst the wildest excitement. The Ingram credentials committee was the one recognized by the order. In the afternoon the parade took place and a prize drill was held at the baseball park. Immediately after the meeting the Davis faction applied to the city authorties for protection and a conference of both sides was held with the Mayor at night. Wednesday's session of the grand lodge, which was held at the Masonic Temple, was tranquil, there being no scenes of disorder worth mentioning. Early in the morning a squad of policemen were stationed at the hall and every delegate and officer of the lodge was searched before he was allowed ta enter the hall. One delegate was arrested for carrying concealed weapons, but he was bailed out by members of the order, and the case against him dismissed on Friday morning. The day was consumed in hearing reports and effecting a permanent organization. Among the distinguished visitors at the session were Hon. John Scott, for 16 years deputy collector of internal revenue for the state of Florida and a member of the sub-committee of management, and Grand Director Howze, of Alabama. G.F. King of Macon and Rev. W. Decker Johnson, of Plains were elected secretaries of the convention. The session adjourned about seven o'clock until next day. Bright and early Thursday morning the street in front of the hall was blocked with delegates eager to take part in the election, which all felt confident would come off during the day. The morning was consumed in hearing further reports, that of the chairman of the sinking fund attracting greatest attention. The members of the order wishing to find out everything concerning the investments the order had made, sharply interrogated the chairman of the committee, Dr. Wm. F. Penn, of Atlanta, as he read the report. The grand attorney was called upon on several occasions to enlighten the members on certain loans and investments which the committee had made. The report of the credentials committee was then made and approximately a hundred delegates were declared ineligible to take part in the election. This caused SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1913 some confusion, but the report was finally accepted. After one or two unimportant happenings, Dr. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, got the floor and addressed the body. He spoke of the wonderful progress the order had made, the necessity of keeping intact the present officers and in general highly praised the present administration. After a five minutes' talk he begged permission to make a motion to the effect that the rules be suspended and the entire board of officers be re-elected by acclamation. The speaker had hardly begun the announcement of the motion before cries of "No! "No! "Thief! "Thief! "sounded throughout the hall and the speaker was forced to retire. After an interim of ten minutes of noise and confusion, quiet was restored and the grand master announced the body open for election. It was decided to elect each officer separately. The hall was packed to its capacity; twenty-one hundred persons finding space in the enclosure. Of these about six hundred were qualified to vote. After a conference of both sides, it was decided to elect vivi voce. There was no objection to this procedure until the election of the grand secretary was called for when it was announced by Grand Master Ingram that the house would vote by vivi voce and then if the result were in doubt a vote by roll call would be made. The vote for grand master was then called for. Grand Master Ingram was placed in nomination by Prof. Staley. H. L. Johnson followed and announced that W. L. Hughes, scheduled on the Dayis ticket to oppose Ingram, had declined in favor of Ingram. Ingram was unanimously elected. J. M. Pitts, of Brunswick, was then nominated by the Ingram men for deputy grand master. Dr. R. H. Cobb was then put in nomination, but declined to run. Pitts was elected. The Ingram men were all jubilant and it seemed as if they were going to carry everything their way. The nomination for the grand secretary was then called for. Great excitement prevailed and the house seemed to be about evenly divided in favor of B. J. Davis and Wm. Driskell, the two men put in nomination. Driskell's men called for vote by roll call. At this junction it was apparent that Ingram "threw down" those who had supported him and put him in office. About thirty minutes were taken in deciding the manner of election. The original, plan that of having a vivi voce vote first and then, if unsatisfactory, a roll call vote, was decided upon. Driskell's name was voted upon first and the entire house seemed to shout "aye." The demonstration lasted about three minutes. Then Davis' name was voted and a similar demonstration was made. Each one of the 2100 persons in the house had voted regardless of the fact that only about 600 of those present were eligible to vote. The house was in a quaudery to know what decision the grand master had made, and it was evident that a vote by roll call would be requested by him. Finally W. D. John- son made the announcement that the grand master declared Davis elected. The house was evidently surprised at the decision and hundreds showed their disapproval in no uncertain terms. By this time it was apparent to all that wholesale compromises had been effected. The remaining grand lodge officers were all practically "railroaded" through, no opposition to them being allowed to be placed in nomination. After the election of the grand secretary, Grand Master Ingram seemed to lose interest in affairs and turned over the gavel to Grand Director Sheehy of the S. C. M. who managed affairs and later installed the officers elected. The result of the election shows that of the Davis ticket, endorsed at Dublin last month, only one, B. J. Davis, was declared elected. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of this city was the only local man who landed. He was elected grand medical examiner which will have to be ratified by the Executive Board. The convention will meet in Athens in August 1915. The Household of Ruth met at St. Philip Church, Charles street, and re-elected all of the old officers with the exception of Miss Lucile Dennis, who was displaced by Mrs. Hattie Jackson of Washington, Ga. The following are the officers elected: B. S. Ingram, Macon, grand master; J. M. Pitts, Brunswick, deputy grand master; B. J. Davis, Atlanta; grand secretary; J. C. Styles, Dawson, grand treasurer; Dr. B. W. S. Daniel, Savannah, grand medical examiner. Auditors: E. J. Matthews, Dawson; M. B. Morton, Athens; W. L. Hughes, Dublin; W. Decker Johnson, Plains, grand director. --- F. B. B. Church On Sunday night, the church was crowded. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 1. His text was from Prob. 18:24. His subject was "Jesus the best Friend." The sermon was excellent and all were well pleased. The choir sang the beautiful medley, "Jesus lover of my soul." Those who felt the need of prayer were invited to the mercy seat, many bowed and prayer was offered by Rev. Hosea Maxwell. Attend our services at any time. They are always reviving. Visiting Doctor Entertained The local doctors entertained the visiting doctors to the grand lodge on Wednesday night at the Williams building with an informal smoker. The occasion was a very enjoyable one. The out of town doctors present were: Drs. Burrows, Barion, Moore, Epps, Mitchel, Perry, Atkinson, J. F. Williams, R. C. Williams, Jones, Wallace, Peters, Cain, J. H. Williams, Pughsley, Stoney and Penn. --- Mrs. Ophelia McIntosh, left Wednesday for a short stay in Asheville, N. C. Mrs. Perry R. Wright left Wednesday for a month's stay in Washington, D. C. MEETS NEXT WEEK IN {PHILADELPHIA Large Attendance Expected-- Elaborate Plans Made--W. S. Scott and J. M. Monroe to Represent Savannah. The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Philadelphia, Wendnesday, Thursday and Friday, August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1913. The Local Negro Business League of Philadelphia has secured from the City Council of that city an appropriation of $5,000 for the entertainment of the delegates and the appropriation has been signed by Major Rudolph Blankenburg. The daily sessions of the League will be held at Musical Fund Hall, 808 Locust street; the first night's session will be held at the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets at which, time Mayor Blakenburg will speak and President Booker T. Washington will deliver his annual address. There are now about 600 Local Negro Business Leagues throughout the country, well organized and actively at work emphasizing the Leagues idea in their several centers. In addition there are at present State Negro Business League in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas and one in Illinois, which was organized May 30, 1913 at Springfield. It is expected that delegates from all of these Local and State Leagues will attend the coming meeting and that the reports to be made will be as interesting and encouraging as those of last year. Mr. S. Lang Williams, compiler of the National Organization, in his annual report of the proceedings held in Chicago last year states that there was shown an increase in the number of banks, an increase in the number of corporations, an increase in the ownership of farm lands and crops, a remarkable increase in the number of men and woman who are branching out into new lines of business endeavor, an increase in the number of the combinations of capital for the purpose of developing large business enterprises, real estate dealers whose holdings were so large that their accuracy is challenged, but which investigation verified. It is expected that at the Philadelphia meeting in this fiftieth anniversary year of freedom a showing of racial progress will be made which will hearten and encourage every black man and woman who can possibly arrange to be present. Each year reduced rates are offered from every section of the country to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and other Eastern points. This year the national meeting of the Colored Elks of the country will take place the week before the Business League meeting, and the meeting of the Colored Pythian Organiza- [Continued on Page Four] NUMBER 48 Large Crowd to Hear Tuskegee Band Monday PRACTICALLY ALL DESIRABLE SEATS TAKEN Concert will be One of the Most Entertaining Eyer Heard—All Box Seats Taken—Tribune To be Among Places Complimented with Concert Monday Morning—Effort on Foot to Entertain Band after Concert. The concert which will be given at the Savannah Theatre on Monday night, August 18th, by the Tuskegee Institute Band and Glee Club, is attracting wider interest among the Negroes of the city than any entertainment which they have been interested in for several years. The sale of tickets for the concert has been very large and there are but few of the desirable seats in the theater left. That the concert will be one of the biggest social affairs in the history of the city is demonstrated by the fact that all of the boxes have been taken and will be occupied by some of the leading Negroes of the city. The appearance of the band in the 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 in all the cities where it has played. The members of the band are taken direct from the student body and they represent many of the states of the country and several foreign countries. Not only does this aggregation of forty-five musicians render band music but they also have among them one of the best Negro glee clubs that has ever traveled the country, The Local Negro Business League under whose auspices the band is to appear here, has advertised the affair very extensively and is appealing to their Negro business houses of the city to take space in the attractive program which is being gotten out. In order that some of the local charitable institutions might be benefitted, a part of the proceeds from the concert will go to Charity Hospital and the Old Folks' Home, two of the most worthy institutions of the city. On the morning of the concert the band will give a street parade and will also give complimentary concerts in front of The Tribune and daily newspaper offices of the city. By this means the attention of many will be attracted to the evening's concert at the theatre, who otherwise would not know of it. In order that the many white friends of the institution may have an opportunity of hearing the band special reservations have been made for them and many of them have already signified a desire to be present. The concert will begin promptly 8 o'clock. Beth Eden Baptist Church Services were well attended Sunday. The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, preached two excellent sermons. At night he clearly defined the relationship of pastor and church. The true pastor is not as the hired man, but instead is the head of the family. As such he has the whole interest of that family at heart, and will administer with a watchful and fatherly care. The Cheerful Workers will give a picnic on August 20th at the College, College, Ga. We ask all our friends to patronize us as an enjoyable time is promised all Boat rides, fishing and the like, from 4 p. m. to 12 p. m. Services to-morrow as follows: prayer service 6:30 a. m.; Sunday school 9:45 a. m.; preaching 11 a. m. subject, "Acknowledging God;" B. Y. P. U., 7 p. m.; preaching 8:30 p. m., subject, "Loyalty to God's House;" Woman's Missionary meeting Monday-at 4:30 p. m. Plenty of ice water and fans at each service. Good music. We welcome all. 18 THE KICK JUSTIFIED? A reader of these notes who is a level headed and progressive farmer offers this criticism against the work and methods of the so called county agricultural expert—namely, that his efforts are far less valuable from the standpoint of the average farmer because most of the experiments he conducts are on so limited and intensive a scale that they cannot be carried out in the same way on a quarter or half section farm. Our friend contends that if this same expert were to take entire charge of a farm, assuming responsibility for the planning of the work and for the hundred and one details, some of them often vexatious and annoying, and were to make a distinct success of it, an improvement over what the owner is able to do, he would then be in a position to tell the average farmer how to farm. The same thought is expressed by a Kansas farmer in the following language: "I am in favor of progress and advancement, but before we get into the expert business too far I am in favor of putting those experts on probation. Give each one 160 acres of land, one team, two cows, four sleep, provisions for one year, and, if at the expiration of five years he has kept out of the poorhouse, paid his taxes, kept his lodge dues paid and his preacher, let the county in which he is located give him a job on the county experiment farm." THE CELERY BED. The home garden can easily be made to produce all the celery that the family needs. The writer has secured excellent results by digging a trench three and a half feet wide and eight or nine inches deep, spading up the bottom of this to a depth of four or five inches and working in three or four wheelbarrow loads of well rotted manure. The plants, which should have the roots and tops pruned back, should be set in rows ten inches apart and about eight inches apart in the row. The plants should be kept hoed and free from weeds. I watered during dry weather. When planted in a trench in the manner suggested the soil does not dry out so rapidly, while the earth thrown from the trench may be returned during the hilling process. It is best to begin hilling when the plants are about ten inches high, depending somewhat upon whether the variety is dwarf or giant, and to give a couple of applications of earth after the first. Plants put out early in July should yield celery for the table the latter part of October, while for the winter supply they may be put out six weeks later. THE GRASSHOPPER PEST. In several sections of western states grasshoppers have done great damage within the past few weeks, and entomologists connected with several middle state agricultural colleges have warned farmers of possible damage from the pest in the coming weeks. A spray that is said to be effective in killing the grasshoppers is made by mixing one pound of arsenate of lead and two quarts of cheap molasses and diluting in sixty gallons of water. This should be applied to vegetation along roadsides and the edges of fields where the grasshoppers may be abundant. A dope which kills the grasshoppers when they eat it is made by mixing one pound of paris green in forty pounds of bran and adding enough water and molasses to make it a sticky mass. This should be scattered in small quantities at intervals of three or four rods wherever the hoppers are abundant. Another mixture equally good is made by substituting fresh horse manure in place of bran on the above recipe and adding salt. TWO RECORD BREAKERS. Professor Rice of the poultry department of the State College of Agriculture at Cornell university, New York, has a couple of hens of which he may well feel proud. One of these, Cornell Supreme, has laid 600 eggs in a period of three years, the highest sustained production of which he has been able to find any authentic record. These eggs weighed 86.19 pounds, or more than twenty-five times the weight of the hen. Another hen, Cornell Surprise, has laid 562 eggs in the three year period, a remarkable feature about her performance-being that she laid more eggs each successive year, her score for the three years being 180, 186 and 196 eggs respectively. The performance of these two hens leads their owner to the conclusion that a hen can sustain a high egg production for a period of at least three years and that such a breed can be developed by selection which will add greatly to the value of the poultry business of the country. WHY SOME SUCCEED. Success in most any line of agricultural endeavor or in animal or poultry husbandry is rarely due so much to exceptional opportunity or especially favorable environment or to unusual ability on the part of the operator as to the simple traits of persistence, application to details and the use of a fair measure of good sense and intelligence. Chiefly does it follow sticking to one thing, whatever the drawbacks for the time being may be. Many people make a fizzle of their undertakings by dropping an enterprise just as they have got through the tiresome and experience getting stage. They take a new tack and drop it at about the same stage, and so on. The net result is that they are most of their time gaining experience at a high price, from which they get little or no benefit. J. C. Piigg Professor Hayward of the Delaware experiment station reports that a Guernsey bull, King Ieda, gives a small quantity of milk. While it is a matter of common observation that most male mammals have undeveloped mammary glands, it is rare that these glands perform their function. The 560,000,000 pounds of veal which Americans consume annually would make 40,000,000,000 pounds of beef if the calves that are slaughtered were allowed to grow to maturity. More than this, the vastly larger amount of beef is not only more digestible but a good deal more nutritious than the smaller amount of veal. While soap, whitewash and some other things may be applied to the trunks of fruit trees without injury, mixtures containing grease or heavy oils are always injurious. Many a young orchard has been ruined through applying to the bark such greasy mixtures through the mistaken notion that they check or ward off some fungous or insect pest with which the trees were threatened. Rape sown at the time of the last cultivation of the corn will give an abundant supply of green stuff for hog pasturage that will dovetail in nicely if the hogs are turned into the corn and allowed to hog it down next October and November. But, whether the hogging down method is followed or not, the rape will give an excellent and much needed pasture after the crop has been removed. Quite unusual damage to the small branchlets on the Oregon fir has been noticed on the Pacific slope within the past few weeks. This is attributed to the fact that the sap started early in April, the trees being hit shortly afterward by a bitter cold snap, accompanied by a sharp northeast wind. The damage seems akin to that which fruit trees often suffer from what is usually called sour sap. Where pasturage is abundant the feeding of a grain ration to milk cows does in most cases increase the milk flow somewhat, but the increase is seldom justified in view of the cost of the grain fed. However, it has been noted in some experiments conducted by the animal husbandry department of Cornell college, New York, that cows that were given such grain ration gave 16 per cent more milk after the pasture season than cows that had pasturage only. Attention has been called in a good many quarters to the fact that most states exact definite qualifications for the man who would operate a stationary engine, but that Tom, Dick and Harry are allowed to operate engines of from twenty to sixty horsepower on high speed autos, which are a menace to life and limb to a degree far exceeding engines of the stationary kind. The time is ripe for a change and for insisting on a fair measure of sense and capacity on the part of the person who would run a high power motor vehicle on a public highway. After many experiments and investigation into the causes of white diarrhea in chickens the poultry department of the Storrs Agricultural college recommends the feeding of sour milk or buttermilk to the chicks from the time they are ten days old. The acidity of the milk seems to serve as a germicide and to keep the bowels in a healthful condition. Besides this, the food elements which the milk contains, being, as they are, largely protein, are excellent for the growth and vigor of the young chicks and also a fine ration for the laying hens. If plain sour milk is thus a preventive of this worst of poultry plagues it should be supplied to the chicks and hens whenever possible. While there are a few New England orchardists who favor keeping their trees in grass, cutting the grass and using it for a mulch, and while in many ranches in the far west the system of clean cultivation throughout the season is followed, there is much to commend the system of giving clean cultivation up to the middle of July and then seeding to some leguminous cover crop and plowing this under the following spring. Even in sections where the rainfall is limited and most of it falls from the 1st of October to the 1st of April the cover crop idea is good. In such case, however, the seeding should be made just before the fall rains set in. The growth made, while not needed as a winter protection, serves to keep the soil from washing and, plowed under in the spring, furnishes a humus that most soils are much in need of. The greatest danger to young apple orchards comes from the inroads of the borer beetle. The eggs are laid by the mature beetle the latter part of May and early June, and the little borers which hatch in a few days are soon busy. The point where they enter the bark is usually indicated by a drop of brown colored sap or, in the case of the borers that are several months or a year old, by brownish, sawdust-like excreta. Washes applied at about the time the young hatch will destroy many, but the only sure method is to inspect the trunks of the trees just above the ground at intervals during the summer and cut out and destroy any that are found. Where the borers are old and deep in the tree a pliable twig may be used to prod them in their holes where at work. The ground for a diameter of two or three feet about the trunk should be kept free from weeds and grass so that evidence of the borers can be easily detected. Cookery Points Cherry Delights. Cherries served fresh and cold on their own stems for breakfast are so delicious that no other way of serving them at that meal could be better. But pitted and sprinkled with sugar and a bit of lemon juice they serve as an appetizer and at the same time lose none of their delicate flavor. Another way of preparing them for breakfast is to pit them and mix them with sugar in the proportion of half a cupful to a pint of cherries and cook them until they are just tender. Then pour them over buttered toast. Cherry soup has been made, but it could hardly be more than the result of an effort to serve cherries in a new and unexpected way. However, at every course save the soup course cherries can be legitimately served. Cherry cocktails are made in this way: Stone ripe cherries, chop them fine, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice to each cupful of cherries, sweeten them to taste and serve them either in cocktail glasses or else in lemon skin cups made by removing part of one side of a sufficient number of lemons, cutting a bit of the rind from the other side, removing all the pulp and juice and washing and chilling the shells. Cherries served with French toast can be used as an entree. To make them cut rings half an inch thick from bread and soak them in beaten egg yolk, milk, a little sugar and a pinch of salt. Roll the bread rings in crumbed bread and macaroons and brown them in butter. Stew ripe cherries with sugar enough to sweeten them, drain and pile in the middle of a dish. Surround them with the fried bread rings and serve them with the juice of the cherries thickened with a little cornstarch and flavored with orange juice. Cherry fritters can be served with meat as a separate course or as dessert. To make them prepare a batter of a cupful of flour, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of baking powder mixed with a tablespoonful of melted butter, a well beaten egg and enough water to make a thin batter. Stew ripe, pitted cherries until they are just tender—but do not cook them to pieces—and sweeten them. Drain them and add them to the batter. Drop it in spoonfuls into deep fat and fry brown. The juice drained from the cherries can be substituted for water to molisten the fritter batter. Sour cherries are needed for cherry sherbet. Stone a quart of them. In the meantime boll together a quart of water and a pound of granulated sugar for fifteen minutes. Add the cherries to the hot sirup just as it is taken from the stove and stand aside until it is perfectly cold. Strain through a fine wire slave and freeze. When you take out the dasher stir in a meringue made of the white of one egg sweetened with a tablespoonful of granulated sugar. Pack in ice for an hour or two. Raspberry Tarts. Raspberry Tarts.—Delicious raspberry tarts can be made by cooking paste in patty tins, filling the shells with rice or beans in waxed paper to keep the paste from bubbling and filling the shells with fresh raspberries covered with sugar and whipped cream. Raspberry Ice Cream.—This ice cream calls for three pints of raspberries. Cover and mix them with a cupful of sugar and let them stand for an hour. Mix three pints of cream with a cupful and a half of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of sherry. Freeze and when stiff take out the dasher. Put the berries and sugar in the cavity where the dasher was and set away in ice and salt for an hour and a half. Boiled Sweet Apples. Take five nice, ripe, sweet apples, halve and core them, place in a kettle, sprinkle with four teaspoonfuls brown sugar. Add water enough to boll well over the apples. Cover and let them cook until tender and the juice is becoming thick. Then with a silver fork or spoon lift the bottom pieces, letting the top ones down into the sirup. Cook from twenty to thirty minutes longer, being careful not to burn them. These are much nicer than baked apples. Pan Dowdy. Pie crust, apples, two cupfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one cupful of cider. Line the sides of a deep baking pan with common pie crust, fill it with apples, pared, cored and quartered. Add the sugar, cinnamon and cider. Cover it with rather a thick crust. Bake it slowly four hours, then break in the crust and mix it well with the apples. Eat with cream. Roman Parfait. Beat up one quart of thick cream until stiff. Then add one pound of powdered sugar and put into the can of the freezer. Pack in ice and salt and let it stand until half frozen. Then add the juice and grated rind of two lemons, one tablespoonful of brandy and a little green coloring. Repack and let it stand from two to three hours until frozen. Good Sandwiches.

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 unsampled size, from Elephantine to Nile." That Won. They were talking about trees. "My favorite," she said, "is the oak. It is so noble, so magnificent in its massive strength! But what is your favorite?" "Yew," he replied. No Guarantee.

"How often is your motor overhauled, Binks?" asked Dusenberry. "Four times last month," said Binks. "Four times in one month? Geerusalei! What for?" demanded Dusenberry.

Second Thoughts A young actor, being very hard up, wrote to another: "Dear L—Can you lend me 2 shillings until Saturday? H. P. S.—On second thoughts, will you make it 3 shillings?" The friend replied: "Dear H.—Regret I have only got 1 shillings, which I inclose. Yours, L. P. S.—On second thoughts, I find I must change it for dinner!"—London Globe. Solving a Problem In Arithmetic Little Marion was busy with her "home work." After a, great many perplexed frowns and much-nibbling at her pencil she looked up and said; "The only answer that I can get to this example is five and three-fourths horses. Do you spose that is right, mamma? "Well, I don't know," answered her mother cautiously. "It sounds queer." A long pause, then the small arithmetician's face lit up with a smile. "Oh, I know," she cried. "I'll reduce the three-fourths horses to colta"—Kansas City Star.

I have used your gasoline-carbolic house powder on my fowls with success and am wondering if you haven't something as effectual for the green lice that kill my rosebuds. A. Simply dissolve half a five cent cake of common store washing soap in two gallons of water, place in this a teaspoonful of kerosene and spray the bush thoroughly. One thorough application will be found sufficient. Q. How many varieties of Wyandottes does the new Standard of Perfection contain. Please name. A. Silver, Golden, White, Buff, Black, Partridge, Silver Penciled, Columbian. Q. What should one do for that large swelling that appears on the sole of a chicken's foot? I have a large Brahma cock bird with the trouble. Is it contagious? A. Your fowl has bumble-foot. Not contagious, but from a bruise, perhaps in your bird's case from jumping down from too high a roost. Simply cut deep across swelling, squeeze out pus, paint with carbolic acid or some other antiseptic, bandage and keep fowl on straw floor until it recovers. Q. I have a very fine Minorca cock-erel and think of showing him, but I notice one of his feet has webs a great deal like a duck's. If he is about perfect in all other sections would not his other good qualities overbalance this defect so that the judge would just cut him slightly? How about breeding him? A. No. He would be debarred from competition. Don't breed from him. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. One way to get ducks off their feed is to get them excited. A dog or a boy chasing the flock can so disturb a flock of market ducks as to put them out of condition. Same way in the laying house. A disturbance that puts the hens on nerve knocks the egg record. Some one says, "The best way to tell whether an egg contains a rooster or a hen is to hatch the egg under a hen and watch the chick for a year, and if it crows it's a rooster, and if it lays eggs it's a hen." It is occasionally the case that a breeding pen contains hens that are not popular with the male or which give him the cold shoulder. A testing of the eggs will show some of the eggs infertile, and they may be easily traced. Such hens should be mated to another male, as it is seldom they become reconciled to the head of the harem or the male makes up with them. When the American Poultry association met at Nashville, Tenn., most restaurants put on lots of chicken frills, and chicken soup, chicken salad, chicken sandwich and stuffed eggs were on about every bill of fare. The members felt like the boy who said to the friend who entertained him: "Don't want none of that. Got plenty of that at home." The Single Comb Brown Leghorn seems to be dropping out of sight, very few being seen at shows, and one seldom sees a flock of them. One reason for this is because show requirements are such that the ridiculous double mating system must be resorted to to get birds to win. This unnatural method applied to Barred Rocks has also retired them from the head of the procession. A way to interest that boy and to keep him busy and happy is to give him an interest in the flock, whether chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese. Make him a member of the firm, give him part of the profit and watch him get busy. Busy boys, with work that gives them a sense of proprietorship and a chance to make money, are not among our dime novel readers nor associates of the bad boys of the streets. A fancier was recently tried at Williamsport, Pa., for shooting and killing a chicken thief. The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty after five minutes' deliberation. Judges in Pennsylvania are getting away from the idea that stealing a horse and a chicken does not show the same moral turpitude, and juries no longer consider chicken stealing a laughing matter. TROUSERS SKIRTS. What the Parisienne Is Wearing Now. THE FASHION WEEKLY SIMPLE GOWN OF WHITE SATIN. In Paris they are wearing fetching costumes like the one pictured. The skirt, looped up at the front, is gathered in about the ankles, and the loose bodice and weighted sash at the front emphasize the oriental effect. This gown is of white satin, and the buttoned strap slippers are of gray suede. Having Too Many Things. Many nervous, irritable, dissatisfied, unhappy women would become calm and contented if they would store, give or throw away half of their belongings. Some have abandoned elegant residences and taken their families into hotels or boarding houses who could have continued to keep up their homes if, instead of giving up the houses themselves, they had done away with the superduous furnishings. Some one, often the mistress herself, must clean and care for every article of furnishing, no matter how humble its use or how ornamental its function, and this round of duties proves many times to be a grievous burden on delicate shoulders. There is such a thing possible as having too many utensils and tools to work with, so that taking out, replacing and keeping them clean and in order add to the daily labor; too much furniture in a room, so that walking through it seems a perilous attempt to steer a course without disaster; too many garments 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, as 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 arp 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 plait 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 traveling 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 trunk, and everything over that is in excess, and nothing over seventy-two inches in length, breadth and height will be accepted. The measuring sticks 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 molten the envelope and not the stamp. When stamps stick together do not suck 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 15 cents' worth of oxalic acid. Dissolve in one quart of water. Use an old toothbrush, if you have one, or buy one that is used for scrubbing celery. Rinse thoroughly and dry in the sun. Work rapidly and be careful not to alter the shape. It will not be necessary to reblock the hats. 2 "I want you to know that I am happily married." "And your husband—la he?"—Boston Transcript. 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 Wettest Wales. Rather unexpectedly the slopes of Snowdon, a Welsh mountain only 3,500 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 1881, 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. Spiteful. 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 I?" 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.

Some get round the bughouse job by sprinkling louse powder on the hen while in the nest, placing bug killer, moth balls, tobacco, sulphur, slaked lime, in the nest or greasing the hen with lard with the idea that she will grease the chicks.

In a few more days, the first Monday in September, the great annual for the great American laborers, labor day, will be upon us. At that time the spindle and looms of our numberless mills and factories will cease their hum; the throttles of a thousand engines will remain untouched and the anvil chorus produced by the measured strides of the horny handed sons of toil will lose its melody to us for a brief space of twenty four hours. How fine! How thoughtful What a happy arrangement that the men of brain and brawn have been given a day which they can rightly call their own! In their new uniforms and with shining floats, the laboring man throughout the country will let it be known that he has a part in it and that through his constructive genius many of its comforts are secured. There is in our city as noble a representative among our people of the laboring world as can be found anywhere. An ocular demonstration of this fact on labor day would be timely and in keeping with the effort of the laboring man of other parts of our country. We ought to have on labor day a first class parade of our laborers with with floats illustrating every handicraft in which our people are engaged. The people of our city need to know what we are doing industrially. Let us demonstrate in a way that will cause a favorable impression to be made. The many labor unions ought to get together at once for a mammoth parade and demonstration on labor day. We need it. We ought to have it. To fail to do so, will allow a great opportunity for us to pass without being seized and made the proper use of. Our plasterers, tinners, brick layers, carpenters, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, machinists, barbers and others need to get together at once for a great labor day demonstration. Cannot we have it? By all means, let us. It is indeed gratifying to note that the mantle for being the first bale man of Georgia for the year 1913 falls upon the shoulders of Frank Thomas, a prosperous and successful Negro farmer of Daugherty country. After careful examination, Farmer Thomas' cotton was classed as good middling and was sold at auction for 18 cents per pound, a fairly good price. The success of Mr. Thomas in being able to market the first bale of cot for the year, ought to be an inspiration to every Negro who rejoices in the triumph of the race in any of the various fields of endeavor in which our people are in competition with others. Success has come to Mr. Thomas, just as it came to Deal Jackson of Daugherty county, known throughout the country for a number of years as the "first bale man" of Georgia, not by chance but by hard studied effort on his part to outdo every body else in his particular field of endeavor. And he has succeeded. To-day the state of Georgia does her cap to him in honor of his being her first bale man for the year. Mr. Thomas' success is proof positive of the fact that whenever a Negro can "deliver the goods" he wins honor deliver the goods," he wins honor and recognition in spite of the effort of the demagogue and blatant mouthed Negro hater to push us into the background. The time is ripe when every one of us should strive to do something in our chosen field of endeavor, worthy of recognition. We must let the world see by ocular demonstration that as individuals and as a people "we have the stuff and can deliver the goods." It is a true saying that if we have the goods that civilization will make a beaten path to our doors. Farmer Thomas had the goods, he has been rewarded. Let each of us strive to do likewise. additional expense, but at considerable addition in the way of comfort and pleasure, especially when congenial parties are organized. These annual conventions are, as the Boston Transcript says, to a very significant extent barometers of progress. It is now thirteen years since the first meeting was held in Boston; at that time the organization was in the experimental stage, but it emerged from that a considerable while ago; at that time it was more an occasion for looking hopefully to the future, but now it can present gratifying personal records of progress, and many reports of actual accomplishments and growing confidence; in this respect the Philadelphia meeting is sure to surpass any previous meeting of the League. The annual session of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association and the National Negro Bar Association, a group of the strongest organizations in the country among Negro people. The local league will send as representatives Mr. W. S. Scott, cashier of the Wage Earners Bank, and Mr. J. M Monroe of the Monroe Undertaking Establishment. Interesting Session Last Week in Waycross The fifteenth annual session of Grand Chapter O. E. S., was held last week in Waycross. The session was largely attended by representatives from every section of the state. Tuesday night the opening services were held when the addresses of welcome, etc., were made. The Grand Chapter was opened Wednesday morning. The reports of the Grand officers were made. Each report was replete with good work accomplished and showed the growth of the rite. At night memorial services were held and the beautiful ritualistic ceremony was well carried out with eulogies from several of the representatives. Thursday morning all of the committees reported and the election was held. All of the business was completed and the Grand Chapter closed in the afternoon. Invitations were received from several places for the next session, but Americus was selected. Following are the officers: Sol. C. Johnson, Royal Grand Patron Mrs. Viola E.

Foster Andorites Special Notice to Colored Teachers Mr. Editor: I submit herein a list of the officers of Georgia Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, with a request that you allow it to appear in your widely read journal. And may I also enter a plea that every Negro teacher in Georgia join us in an effort to bring once more to life and activity our state teachers' association. At present, Georgia is probably the most backward state in the whole south with respect to its teachers' association. This ought not to be; and if the teachers of the state will rally to our support, it shall no longer be the case. Let every teacher of Negro schools in the state rise up and lend his aid in making our association what it ought to be, the leading association in the south. In due time, notice will be given of the time and place of the next meeting. Every officer is urged to make the association a success. The following are officers of the association: President, M. W. Reddick, Amoricus; vice president, Dr. W. A. Fountain, Atlanta; corresponding secretary, Prof. S. H. Archer, Atlanta; recording secretary, Miss Annadel King, Atlanta; assistant secretary, Prof. T. H. Smith, Athens. Congressional District Vice Presidents: 1st. district, Prof. L. B. Thompson, Savannah, 2nd district, Prof. G. W. F. Philips. Well! How fast do happenings and changes occur nowadays in the political world! Today matters are of one complexion and to-morrow they are of an entirely different hue. And why? We do not pose in the role of a political prognosticator, hence we dare not give a reason and yet we would like for somebody else to do so. A few days age, the press of the country announced the selection of Attorney A. E. Patterson, a colored member of the Oklahoma bar, by President Wilson, as register of the treasury to succeed J. C. Napier, resigned. Immediately a wail of protest that rent both heaven and earth went up from Democrats throughout the country. Several Democratic senators of transient importance whose stock in trade is vituperation and abuse of the Negro, let it be known in unmistakable terms that they would exert every effort and influence at their command to prevent the confirmation of Attorney Patterson's nomination as register of the treasury. President Wilson whose way has not altogether been strewn with roses since he has been president, was placed again in an apparently embarrassing position. He would either have to stand by Patterson despite the rantings of the Negro hating members of his party or else yield to the opposition of the demagogues and withdraw the name of his appointee. Quick as lightning, however, several happenings took place, to wit, Attorney Patterson by declination, in a well composed letter, relieved the president of the embarrassment of presenting his name to the Senate against that announced opposition of his partisan senators; and Senator Gore, reputed sponsor for Patterson, let it be known that he was all the while in favor of a full blooded Indian for register of the treasury, and President Wilson calmly withdrew Patterson's name for the position. And now that the smoke of disturbance has cleared, Attorney Patterson has only the copy of his original letter of withdrawal to show his children and his children's children as a souvenir that at one time he had occasion to feel that his ambition of a life time, as he well puts it, had a slight chance of being gratified. Thus these happenings were. As a result, we have a vision. Would that we were well versed in the finesse of the political game and we would venture to reveal our view to the public. Yet we sit and think. We are not unmindful of the fact that the president's attention has been called from time to time to the utter indifference and disregard with which the rights of Negro Democrats for a share of the administration patronage are being regarded. Does the Patterson drama, so well acted, mean that the president's heart was at last touched in the behalf of the Negro? Or does it mean that the manly courage of Ralph Tyler and J. C. Napier in denouncing and laying bare the anti Negro policy of the administration caused the president to deem it expedient to make some sort of grand stand play in behalf of the Negro in order to placate his (the Negro) present feeling and thus give him temporary hope? However, we do not like to criticize a big man, President Wilson is such. Hence lest we forget and go too far, we pause here to remind ourselves of our promise not to reveal our vision. We will let our readers sit and think for themselves. Meanwhile, Attorney Patterson, in the seclusion of his home and surrounded by his family and friends will have much to think about anent his effort in behalf of the party of his choice and its subsequent treatment of him. At the same time, Senators Vardaman, Hoke Smith and other of their ilk will have much cause for rejoicing over their recent successful conquest in the capital city against a poor and dependent people. Their mission to the capital city seems to be to fight and fight hard anybody and everything that lean toward the Negro. They have succeeded again in this? Will the band play and the applause proclaim on their return to their respective homes, hail to the chiefs, the conquering heroes come! Let us watch and see.

Thanking you in advance for your kindness and soliciting your support in this effort to have a great association, I am Death. On the afternoon of August the 7th, 1913, the death angel bore to its final resting place the angelic soul of Mrs. Carrie B. Wallace of Lathrope avenue of this city. In Mrs. Wallace the city knew no wife more devoted, no mother more loving and a cheerful friend. She was a tower of strength to her husband and a source of inspiration to the family, an angel of mercy to the community and a consecrated christian worker in the church. Mrs. Wallace was ill for three weeks. It was my privilege to visit her daily and at each visit she spoke of heaven and heavenly things. During her illness her children spared no pains in rendering whatever assistance that was in their power and seeing that she receive what medical attention her malady demanded. All who knew her mourn her death, and extend their sympathy to the bereaved. She leaves a husband, two daughters, Mrs. Maud White, Mrs. Gertrude Lindsay, seven sisters and two brothers and a host of friends. The remains were shipped to her home for interment, Columbia, S. C. Nathaniel M. Duckett. An Old Citizen Passes Away. Atlanta, Ga., August 5, 1913. On Tuesday evening, July 29, 1913, Mr. A. B. Reynolds, of 323 Fort street, died. It can be said by all who knew him, and they were many, that he was a citizen of sterling worth. He was a man who made friends easily and kept them easier. To know him was to love him. He was especially popular among the young folks. Mr. Reynolds was a devout Christian and a fraternal man. He was a prominent Mason having reached the highest degree of the Order. It was with solemn Masonic ceremony that he was laid away. He was a man who could truly boast of being a self-made man. And so well did he make himself that during his several years of ill health, in which he was not able to do any work, he was able to take care of himself and family without asking aid from any one. This in itself is an example of citizenship worthy of emulation. He was cheerful to the end, and in speaking to some of his friends of his condition he expressed a desire that they all meet him around the throne in the great beyond In passing, Mr. Reynolds leaves a devoted wife, who was never absent from his bedside during his severe illness, and a host of friends who will mourn his loss. His funeral was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Thursday, July 31, 1913. Rev. C. M. Manning officiated and he was laid away in Oakland cemetery. And now may our loss be heaven's gain.

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.

Among the Masons To promote the welfare of humanity, is one of the great objects of the Masonic institution. Intemperance and profanity have no place in the Masonic system. They should be banished—cast into outer darkness. How few Masons ever try to comprehend the psychology of the ritual. It is worthy of the profoundest study of the deepest philosopher.—Square and Compasses. It is an encouraging fact that Masonic readers are on the increase, and some time—but when—the time will come when the number of Masons who take, pay for and read Masonic journals, will bear the same ratio to the whole body of Masonry, as do those who do not even know that there is such a thing as a Masonic periodical, or knowing it, neither take or pay for a copy.—Square and Compassas. No Mason has the right to make the Order a part of business; but he has the right to ask a brother to do acts of kindness, to ask for relief when necessity requires it and to ask him to go and do acts of kindness for him and for members of his own family. It is the duty of all Masons to give place to his brother; all things being equal he must employ a brother [Mason in preference to others and point him to positions of employment in place of selecting others - Mafonic Lifer SEEKING THE MYSTERIES A generation ago few thought of joining a Masonic Lodge until thirty years of age. The greater number of petitioners ranged from 35 to 50 years of age. It is very different now. The majority of those seeking light range under 30 years. Here is a fair average: Eighteen of the 26 city lodges at their first regular—they hold two a month—Communication in February report a total of 45 petitioners for the degrees received, of which 23 were 30 years of age and under; more than half, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 years old. The majority of those above 30 averaged 35 years of age. -Masonic Constellation. LEARNING THE RITUAL One of the correspondents writes of a brother who conferred a degree twenty-six days after having been made a Master Mason. Others have done as well or better so far as time is concerned. The real reason for alluding to the subject here is to direct attention to the fact that so few Masons learn more than the catechism as to make the instances of sufficient importance to occasion comment. There are good Masons who have been members of the fraternity many years without ever at tempting to take any part in the conferring of degrees, but those Masons who have learned the ritual and transmitted it to others have sustained interest in the institution and are entitled to most of the credit foa the benefits that have resulted. It cannot be denied that some Masons have given attention to ritualism to the exclusion of all else Masonic, for which they are entitled to censure. Masonry demands much more of its followers than perfection in knowledge of its ritual but a desire to know the ritual must be taken as an evidence of interest in what the institution teaches. Every Master and Past Master rejoices to see newly admitted brethren desirous to assist in the conferring of degrees and is ready to furnish instruction when re quested.—Masonic Chronicle. PHILOSOPHY IN MASONIC WORK According to an old Jewish tradition, says a writer in the Northern Freemason, little angels are born every morning by the brook which rolls over the flowery of Paradise. These spirits do not work all day. Their whole life is like a song. Wehn evening comes they cease their warblings and return, without regret, into nothingness. Thus it is with many institutions of which the present age gives birth; thus it has been with countless nameless societies which have existed in the past. Not so, however, with Freemasonry. It stands today looking back on centuries of work whose monuments are national; it sees on every hand fields, broadening and purpose deepening; it beholds a future vast and ever progressive. It is preeminently the educator of our age; its works are the lessons of life. As defined by the Rev. Dr. Norval, "A Mason's Lodge is a school of piety; the principal emblems are the teachers;" or in the impressive language of Albert Pike, "There are great truths at the foundation of Freemasonry—truths which it is its mission to teach, and which, as constitution the every essence of that sublime system which gives to the venerable institution its peculiar identity as a science of morality, it behoves every disciple to ponder and inwardly digest." The preparation of the candidate is in itself a lesson, and the ceremonies of initiation are beautiful and imposing exemplifications of the profound truths of the order. The Mason is taught to perfect his nature according to the Divine plan, to subjugate his passions to the dominion of the soul; to enjoy his faculties in the noble mission of life; to cultivate generous affections, holy thoughts and heavenly aspirations; to labor for truth, wisdom and virtue. He is shown that riches, glory and fame and all the world's crowns and kingdoms are but vanity, and will vanish as a wreath of smoke; but that the soul will live through all time with its treasures of holiness, wisdom, hope, virtue, love pure thoughts and devout affections. Masonry teaches the exalted principles of our existence upon which rests the well being and progress of society, the purity and sacredness of the family relations and the duties which are due the Creator of all. Masonry teaches the equality of man. It acknowledges no earthly aristocrat or monarch. It knows no worldly distinction of rank or position. Kings, princes and subjects, commanders of armies and private soldiers, statesmen and peasants, all meet upon the level."—Herald. 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 ets. Dr. Johnson's Foot Easer will relieve them at once. 603 West Park Avenue. Toast Limits. A right honorable 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 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 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 he lost his voice, he was an actor—he was one of the original cast of "Black Eyed Susan." He wrote innumerable fares 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. 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." Poverty of a Prince A man from Oxford is responsible for the following story, says the Gossipler 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," said his royal highness, "but—the fact is I haven't got the 3 shillings!" "Then why don't you write home for some money?" said his friend. "I have," replied the prince, "but mother says I must make what I have do till the end of the term." Exchange of Courtesians "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." "Well, I have no objection to your showing him a photograph of a ham sandwich."-Kansas City Journal. Miss Green Guards Mr. Morgan's Rare Books. THE WEEKLY NEWS MISS.BELLA DE COSTA GREEN. When the late J. P. 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 tomes 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 a coarse crochet during the summer and further ornament them with an initial, and then they will be stored in the guest room bureau. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 10, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. xii, 21-31. Memory Verses, 26, 27—Golden Text, Matt. xx, 28—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The deliverance of Israel from Egypt at the time of the first passover marked the beginning of their national history, according to verse 2. The fulfillment of the passover which is yet future will mark the beginning of their becoming a righteous nation when they have been gathered from all nations and have seen their Messiah coming in His glory (Luke xxii, 15, 16; Isa. xi, 11, 12; 1x. 13, 19-22). Their deliverance from Egypt was wholly the work of the Lord (xiii, 3), and so shall be their restoration and conversion at the second coming of Christ. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do it (Isa. 1x, 6, 7). The first passover was in connection with the last of the ten judgments on Pharaoh and his people, the death of the firstborn in every house; the last passover will be in connection with the judgment upon the nations (Joel ill, 1, 2; Zeph. ill, 8, 9; Matt. xxy, 31, 32). The safety of the firstborn of Israel on that dread night in Egypt depended upon the blood on the doorposts of their houses, for the Lord had said, "When I see the blood I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you" (verse 13). There is no salvation revealed in all the word of God except by the blood, of the Lamb. Christ our passover sacrificed for us (I Cor. v, 7). Not money nor morality, not baptism nor church membership, not the sacrifice of Christ and something else, but the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, that alone gives safety (I Pet. 1, 18, 19; Lev. xvil. 11; Heb. 1x, 22; Eph. 1, 6, 7; Rev. 1, 5, 6; v, 9, 10). The household might be too little for the lamb, and in that case his next neighbor was to share with him, and that suggests a good answer to the question. Who is my neighbor? Why not any one in the wide world with whom I can share the Lamb of God—that is, any one to whom I can make known the gift of God? (Verse 4.) The lamb was never too little for the household, for there is a sufficiency for all in Christ Jesus. That the lamb was kept four days (verses 3, 6) is to me suggestive of the fact that the Lamb of God was set apart before the foundation of the world, but was not slain until 4,000 years had passed, and a thousand years are with the Lord as one day (I Pet. i, 20; II Pet. iii, 8). The blood to be of any benefit had to be sprinkled on the doorposts—that is, applied. The mere knowledge that Christ died for sinners will avail nothing unless I believe that He died for me and receive Illim as my own personal Saviour. As Israel had no national existence until that night, so the sinner has no life until he comes under the shelter of the previous blood, for "He that hath the Son of God bath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (I John v, 12). The lamb being slain and the blood sprinkled, no one was to go out of the house until the morning (verse 22). The blood is our safety all the way along until the morning of His return, and then we shall be like Him and be forever with Him. Under that blood there was no death, whether the first-born was quiet and restful because of the word of God concerning his safety or whether nervous and restless because he could not feel safe. They were to eat the lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, suggestive of no evil tolerated (for leaven is always something corrupt), and our sufferings with Him, for all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Their eating the lamb or not eating it did not affect their safety, but suggests fellowship. Our Lord said, "He that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me," and He also said, "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly" (John vi, 57: x, 10). Under the blood there was life, but eating the lamb indicates more than life. Many seem content merely to have life, but have little appetite for the Lamb, shrinking from suffering with Him and not careful to put away all leaven, willing rather to be conformed to this present evil world than transfigured by the renewing of their minds (Rom. xil, 1, 2). Lolins girded, shoes on, staff in hand, suggest the pilgrim ready for the journey (verse 11), and the Spirit through Peter connects it with readiness for the coming of Jesus Christ, as also does our Lord Himself in these words: "Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord when he will return from the wedding" (I Pet. 1, 13; Luke xil. 35, 36). Where there was no blood on the doorposts that night there was death in every house from the palace of the king to the lowest in the land (verses 20, 30), and so it is now. All, without respect to their standing before men, are either in Christ or not, and only in Christ is there safety. See in verses 40, 41, the fulfilment of the word of the Lord to Abram concerning the time of the sojourn of his descendants in the strange land (Gen. xv. 13). It should be a comfort and a rest to all who are in Christ that all things have been clear to Him from the beginning and that He worketh all things according to the counsel of His own will (Isa. xlv. 10; Eph. 1, 11).

Makes POULTRY NOTES BY C.M.BARNITZ RIVERSIDE PA. CORESPONDENCE SOLICITED [These articles and illustrations must not be reprinted without special permission.] [These articles and illustrations must not be reprinted without special permission.] A visit to most of our prominent duck plants will disclose the fact that, while they raise millions of young, green ducks for market without their having had a day's swim, yet they furnish swimming facilities to their breeding ducks. This is because ducks naturally pair in the water, and thus those that swim lay eggs with a higher average fertility and greater hatchability, and the ducklings are of stronger vitality, better breeders and can stand more forcing for market. The great aim in market duckling raising is to get quick, big growth and to keep the duck soft and Julcy. Exercise in swimming, like other healthful exercise, makes muscle. Photo by C. M. Barnitz. ALONG THE SHORE hardens the flesh, retards fat, creates stamina and uses up food in the process. That is why the swimming duck is harder, stronger, tougher and thinner than the market duckling, and that is why, on the contrary, the market duckling is such a fast grower, so tosome and juicy. It melts in the mouth, is so large and lovely because it exercises but little and loafs and eats much, and most of its food just quickly turns into layers of fancy flesh and fancy fat. The only time it goes to swim is when it is driven in to wash off before killing, and so unused to swimming are they that we have seen them refuse to do that. Duck growers along streams simply inclose water along shore, or others ```markdown ``` Photo by C. M. Barnitz. DUM FOR DUCKS make ponds or dams, the thickness of the dam wall depending on volume and velocity of water and made thicker at base than top. The proportions for making the concrete dam wall shown were one barrow of sharp sand and two of clean gravel to one sack of cement. The majority of duck raisers feed their breeding ducks fish, either fresh or fish scrap. This tends to vigor in breeder and offspring and increases fertility. DON'TS. Don't cultivate pessimistic traits, but hoe your own row. Don't be mercenary. You may pile up money by the plan, but be stigmatized "a miserly man." Don't write the editor for poultry information, but write us, and don't write us until you have tried to think it out for yourself first. Don't throw dead fowls where they will rot and breed maggots. A blow fly may come from that carcass to your table and bring disease and destruction. Don't buy a stack of poultry wire unless sure the chickens can't go through. Leghorns go right through wire that grades from small to large squares toward the frog and over anything with ton rail. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] A little copperas in the drinking water serves as a good preventive of diseases to which the poultry flock may be subject. A French aviator, Perreyon, recently broke the record for an altitude flight in carrying two passengers, reaching a height of 15,480 feet. If the wren's nest is exposed to the direct rays of the afternoon sun it is a good idea to shield it with some sort of covering. This will take but a moment's time, but will be a service that the little birds will much appreciate. Barring invalids, the folks who complain most about the hot weather are those who have little else to do. The fellow who is building, ditching or having knows it is hot, but he is too busy to think very much about it. A fellow down in Washington has cured a bad case of dyspepsia by eating a teaspoonful of sand once a day. This cure is cheap enough, but it would better not be tried except in the recommendation of a-reliable physician. The South American banana crop is so large that the United Fruit company finds itself unable to handle it. The cause of the enormous crop is not only favorable growing conditions, but freedom from storms and other forms of damage. Old potatoes reached a new low record mark in large market centers early in June, when they slumped to 16 cents a bushel. In some cities they were dumped out and poor people of the city allowed to come and get them for nothing. Coal and charcoal are supposed to be good for hogs—that is, they like it—because it not only stimulates the flow of the digestive juices, but because the sharp cornered pieces are tough on the worms that sometimes infest the intestinal tract. The soil about the bushes and shrubs should be kept spaded and the suckers cut out. Oftentimes it is advisable to give a heavy mulch of straw manure. This not only serves to hold moisture, but gives the growing bushes needed fertilizing elements. Placing a sack containing equal parts of saltpeter and fine broken charcoal in a cistern is said to be an effective means of clearing the water. The saltpeter draws the soot to the sack and the charcoal holds it. This process does not injure the water and is effective for several months. In the manufacture of the high grade tankage which is used to furnish protein in a condensed form in the hog ration the materials are subjected to so high a temperature that all disease germs are killed, including those of hog cholera. However, the sterilizing of the tankage in the cooking process would not preclude the possibility of contamination by cholera germs subsequent to the time of manufacture. Horse thieves and chicken thieves are not entire stragglers in many rural communities, but the present season is the first that many have heard reports of tree thieves. In an instance of the latter kind noted the other day a hundred fruit trees that had been lately planted were found missing when the owner went to see what growth they were making. In the same neighborhood seventy trees were taken from another farmer. Where sand or gravel and decomposed limestone and clay are at hand there is no cheaper or better material for road improvement. Where the road to be improved is already sandy, the clay-limestone combination is all that is needed. Where the soil is heavy and either muck or loam, both sand and the clay and limestone should be used. If the roadway is low the roadside should be drained and the road crowned with a grader before the surface materials mentioned are applied. Professor Larson of the South Dakota Agricultural college strongly advises the building of the pit silo in those semiarid sections of the state where the farmers are likely to be short of money due to crop failures the past few years and where the soil is clay or gumbo, so that it will not cave in as a result of the action of the weather or moisture coming from the silage. He recommends a pit some sixteen feet deep and from eighteen to twenty feet in diameter and puts the cost of it at whatever the value would be of the labor required to dig it. He suggests a derrick and bucket for this purpose, the same outfit also being used to lift out the silage during the winter season. Has His Own Center of Population. Little George had a heavy and rather intractable head of auburn hair which defied his mother's efforts to make it look well groomed. One day, after much brushing, she stopped and said "Oh, George, I cannot make your hair go the right way, it is so thick!" George turned quickly and replied: "If you think my hair is thick you just ought to see that boy's across the street. He has the most thickly populated head you ever saw."—Kansas City Star.

What is the reason that pine and fir trees and others of the species are surrounded more than other trees by ozone and that, therefore, forests of the "needle leaved" trees are so health giving? If the theory of Professor Lemstrom of Helsingfors is correct this can now be explained, for the "needles" act on the atmosphere as generators of electricity, so that the trees are always surrounded by electricity and consequently by ozone.

A woman who has lived abroad for many years where they make a cup of tea as curefully as they make a cake says the lemon, should never be cut until it is to be used. Have a small sharp knife on the table and cut each slice as desired, never cutting a dishful of lemons to stand for an hour or even a few minutes! A good tidbit for the tea table can be made with biscuit and marmalade. Break each piece in two, making thus two squares; put on a row of Neufchatel cheese around the edge and a drop of orange or tangerine marmalade in the center. This makes just the right sized wafer and has a luscious flavor. Instead of lemon in the tea try a maraschino cherry and a teaspoonful of the wine that comes with them. Or another flavor that may be used in tea is rum. This is called Russian tea. One uses no sugar or cream or lemon and just a teaspoonful of rum. Pulled Bread. Remove the crust from fresh bread and tear the center in small pieces with two forks. Dry in a very slow oven until crisp all through. The center of biscuits may be prepared in the same way. Or take a freshly baked loaf and while it is still warm pull the inside out of it in pieces a little smaller than the palm of your hand. Bake the pieces on a floured baking tin in a hot oven until they are of a delicate brown color, when they should be crisp and of a nice nutty flavor. These are most digestible. A Mighty Cliff Myling Head, at Stromoe, one of the Faroe islands, has a sheer drop of 2,200 feet from the crest to the sea. GUIDING THE YOUNG. 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. Glasses and the Eyes. Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one, else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have a more or less blurred vision, and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now, the two eyes are supposed to have an equal natural foc s, and when by any chance that focus is unequal a headache results. The remedy is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power. —Exchange.
