VOLUME XXVIII Address Booker T. Washington Address Booker T. Washington PRESIDENT NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAUUE Delivered Wednesday Evening at Academy of Music, Philadelphia—Says, "Forward to the Land"—The Negro Should Increase his Holdings This, the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business League, marks also the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom as a race. It is, then, both timely and fitting that this great gathering of the representatives of the backbone and progress of our race should be held in Philadelphia. It is most appropriate that this meeting should take place after fifty years of freedom in the city where 137 years ago that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, was issued. Whether the American Negro was meant at the time to be included within the scope and meaning of the words of the Declaration of Independence has been a debatable question. However that may be decided, we mean as a race through this and similar organizations to make ourselves such a useful and potent part of American citizenship that in all the future no one will dare question our right to be included in any declaration that relates to any portion of the body politic. During the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who raised the question as to whether or not the American Negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that question by showing that when freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 in number; now we have grown to over 10,000,000 free American citizens. This means that we have a population of American Negroes that is more than twice as large as the population of Australia, one and a half times as large as the whole population of Canada, and nearly twice as large as the combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. These facts should put an end for all time to doubt about our ability to survive in a state of freedom. One other question was debated fifty years ago, and that was the question as to our ability to support ourselves from a physical and personal point of view. There were not a few who fifty years ago predicted that this newly freed race would become a perpetual burden upon the pocket books of the nation. It was freely predicted that we would neither feed, clothe nor shelter ourselves. Ev is asked to appropriate between ten and twelve millions of dollars to be used largely in providing food, clothes, and shelter for about 300,000 American Indians. While this is true of the American Indian (and I have nothing but the highest respect for the Indians) ever since the days of Reconstruction the American Negro has not called upon Congress to appropriate a single dollar to be used in providing either clothes, shelter or food for our race. Absolutely in all these personal matters we have supported ourselves and mean to do so in all the future, and very seldom in any part of this country does one find a black hand reached from a corner of a street asking for any man's personal charity. Within fifty years, then, we have proven that we can survive from a physical point of view, and we have proven that we could not only support ourselves but contribute taxes from $700,000,000 worth of property toward the support of local, state, and national government. Within the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to a third test that is one of the conditions of growth and permanency under the conditions of faecedom. This third test embraces our abiliti combine, to work in harness in the capacity of organized human beings. There can be little civilization and little progress without the capacity and the willingness to work together in organized groups. Fifty years ago we had almost no experience in working together as organized groups. During the past half a century we have proven our ability to organize. We now --- W. L. Hughes Explains Editor of the Tribune: 'I wish to state that I did not withdraw from the race for D. G. M as some have supposed or thought. I never did seek any kind of compromise with the other side. Some of my friends sought compromise, but I never did agree to it. When the time came for the election of D. G. M., Col. H. L. Johnson stated that I had withdrawn, but I got up at the time and stated that I had not withdrawn and would not do if I did not get but three votes. Mr.J. W. Davison tried hard to nominate me, but they would not hear him and Col. Johnson moved the election of B. S. Ingram and the motion was carried without hearing any objections. The truth is, I was sold out by some of my friends, it appears. W. L. Hughes, Dublin, Ga., Aug. 18, 1913—Adv have 62 banks under control of black organizations. Fifty years ago we had few religious organizations. Now we have four great branches, to say nothing of smaller ones, having a total membership of 3,113,900 members or about 33 per cent of the race. Our capacity to organize has been shown, too, in the case of the National Negro Business League with its numerous secret and beneficial societies which have been organized and are being sustained by Negroes. A rough study indicates that there are over thirty of these organizations with distinct aims and purposes and which are either local, state wide or national in their scope. A study of these organizations reveals the fact that they have a total membership of at least 3,000,000 persons. These figures take no account of the fact that not a few individuals belong to many different organizations. So much for indications of progress in the past. What about the present, and our duty in the immediate future? First and foremost, I call the attention of the race through this League to the fact that there are at least 200,000,000 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the Southern States. This means a territory as large as Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. I am glad to say that we already own and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is only about two acres for each individual. All this means one thing: that the time has come when this Business League and other organizations should send forth a voice which can be heard everywhere and cannot be misunderstood, for a larger proportion of our race to leave the towns and cities and plant themselves in the country districts on the soil before it is too late. Verily it is true that here in the United States the words of the prophet of old are fulfilled, when he said there was a land awaiting the occupation of the people, that was "flowing with milk and honey." In our case as a race, the milk will come from our Jersey cows and the honey from our well kept bees. Forward to the land! should be our motto everywhere. Instead of owning 20,000,000 acres, we should within the next quarter of a century own 40,000,000 acres. To the man or the race who owns the soil all good things come in time. Let us leave the fleeting and often deceiving easy life of the cities and get on God's green earth. I want to see members of my race that are now in too large numbers flocking to the cities, join the great world movement "back to the land;" or better still; "forward to the land." While the millions of Negroes in the South are largely ignorant people so far as letters are concerned, they are not as a rule a degraded people. Some of the finest specimens of physical and moral manhood to be found anywhere in the world can be found among the country people of our race. There is a vast difference between ignorance and degredation. In order to get ourselves planted on the soil, for a season we shall have to forbear the enjoyment of some of the things that make life inviting in the cities. In the cities it is with our race in a large measure as with others in the same relative position of civilization. There is tremendous temptation in the cities for us to get the signs of civilization instead of the sui- SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1913 Will Leave Today For Supreme Lodge BALTIMORE TO ENTERTAIN KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Savannah Delegation to be Joined En Route by Others— Elaborate Plans Made to Entertain Visitors The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias will convene on next Tuesday in Baltimore, Md., in what is expected to be one of the most important sessions in the history of that body. The convention will adjourn the following Saturday. Attendance at the Supreme lodge will probably be the largest in the history of the order and the city of Baltimore has made elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the delegates. The local delegation will leave over the Southern in a special Pullman about noon today and will be joined en route by delegates from other cities. Those who will make the trip from here are: Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Miss A. E. Allen, Mrs. M. E. Harper, Mrs. Josephine Singleton, Miss Carrie Gibbs. Messrs. F. M. Cohen, Geo. S. Wharns, John J. Bolen, Mrs. G. R. Hutto, Bainbridge; Mrs. V. E. Hart, Americus; Mrs. Belle McGhee, Alken; Mr. G. R. Hutto, Bainbridge, Mr. P. H. Hudson, Valdosta, Dr. G. N. Stoney, Augusta, Mr. L. E. Mosely, Augusta. stance itself. In the city the temptation is to get an automobile before we get a house, to get a dress suit before we get a bank account, to spend all that we get in for rent, food and dress and lay up little for old age or for those dependent upon us. In the city the temptation is to be dependent instead of independent, to let some one else think and plan for us instead of thinking for ourselves. If any one doubts the truth of this statement, let him go through the streets of one of our Northern cities early in the morning and note the large number of colored people that are washing someone's else windows or sweeping someone's else floor. No disgrace is in this, but the white man will have more respect for us in proportion as we are able to create positions for ourselves. We must learn to sacrifice to-day that we may enjoy tomorrow, to do without today that we may possess tomorrow. Now as to our program for the future. We should make up our minds thoroughly that there is a permanent place in the country for us, and that we have more friends both in the North and the South than we have enemies. We should make up our minds that we are to use material gain and prosperity not as an end but as a means towards securing and enjoying the best things in our American life. What are our chances and what is the out look? The large number of independent, prosperous and law-abiding black people right here in Philadelphia partly answers this question. What hundreds in Philadelphia have done others can do throughout the United States. Remember, as I have said, that we have a race of ten millions with whom to do business, and in the South especially our commercial activity is not confined to our race. In a Southern city when I was spending a half hour in a Negro bank I noted that one-fourth of the people who came in to do business with the bank were white people. Young men, young women, there are openings in this great country of ours for Negroes to establish and maintain many additional and various kinds of business concerns. There is a place for at least 900,000 independent, self-supporting Negro farmers. When I was recently in the far West, nothing impressed me more than to note the number of educated white men who were beginning life as farmers. Often they, started in a little hut or "dug out," and suffered privations, but they were sticking to it. Those are the people who in the future make the great kings of industry. There are openings in the South for 1,000 more saw mills and 1,000 [Continued on Page Four] Grand Master Ingram Should Resign DECLARED HE WOULD NOT SERVE WITH "BEN DAVIS" Kept Allegiance to His Supporters Until He Was Reclected—Members of Order Should Demand His Resignation After the meeting of deputies of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows at Dublin on July 4, a large number of the members of the order in the State felt that Grand Master Ingram was not treated fairly and rallied to his support for re-election. Among this number were some who had no real confidence in the Grand Master; but deemed it good policy to support him. A few weeks prior to the grand lodge meeting the Grand Master visited Savannah. He solicited the support of everybody for reelection; this support was promised and given in a manner known by every delegate who attended the recent grand lodge session. In his address while here the Grand Master expressed alleged crookedness and graft as practiced in the executive department of the grand lodge, and held his hands aloft and declared that he would never serve as Grand Master should "Ben Davis" or any member of the (then) present board be reelected. These assentions he made not only publicly but privately, and nearly every Odd Fellow in Savannah can verify the same. The Grand Master promised strong allegiance to Savannah at the grand lodge session and gave assurance as to what he will do, etc. This allegiance and promise was kept until he was reelected. His action afterward is known to the nearly 2000 persons who were crowded in the Masonic Temple on that memorable afternoon, and will go down in history as a blot on the promises of an Odd Fellow. Mr. Ingram by his action lost hundreds of supporters and prestige that he will never be able to regain. He is called upon to make his threat good by resigning at once and not serve with "Ben Davis" whom he excoriated so bitterly while in our midst. Will the Grand Master keep his word? Every true and hearty Odd Fellow the State over demands his resignation as Grand Master. Bill Passed by Legislature Hits Unscrupulous Persons in Insurance Business. One of the most important acts of the legislature of 1913 was the passage of senate bill No. 24, introduced by Senator Bush. The purpose of this bill is to better the status of industrial, health, accident and life insurance in Georgia and to eliminate from the business an element of graft and dishonesty on the part of unscrupulous persons. It is intended to put this business upon a sound basis and to increase the powers of the insurance commissioner over that business. It makes it unlawful for any person to misrepresent the solvency of an industrial company for the purpose of selling a policy therein. It also makes it unlawful for any person to misrepresent the terms of the policy. The law makes it a misdemeanor punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any physician on other person to make a misrepresentation or false statement of any material fact or thing in any claim or certificate, as to death, disability or health condition of a policy holder, for the purpose of defrauding any company or association. The bill gives the insurance commissioner the power to issue subpoenas to agents or other persons to appear before hearings had by him; in proceedings, to revoke license of irresponsible agents, thus giving the insurance commissioner the right to investigate the standing and character of any agent against whom complaint is made. It makes it a misdeamor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any person to act as agent for such company without having procured license thereof. The purpose of this bill is to make industrial insurance a real insurance to strengthen the hand of the insurance commissioner, to drive out Tribune Washington, D. C., Aug. To the Editor: I respectfully request the privilege of placing myself on record as protesting with all the bitterness of which my nature is capable against the doctrine laid down in that infamous document sent to the White House by one Adam Patterson, a Negro, requesting President Wilson to withdraw his nomination as Registra of the United States Treasury. The most rabid enemy of the Negro race could not have announced a doctrine more destructive of the race's best interests than that laid down in the communication referred to. During the last Congress, members of House Committee on Elections No. 2 placed themselves on record as holding that the most sacred gift of a free government to its people was the right to vote and next to the suffrage the most sacred gift was the right to hold office. This is the only true doctrine known to free institutions. Wherever men have advanced in civilization this doctrine is dear to the human heart. Whoever backs down from this doctrine makes a concession to despotism. Instead of telling President Wilson that it was better for his people to be denied the second most sacred gift of a free government to its citizens, Patterson should have told the truth, which is just what Hon. Ralph W. Tyler said a few days ago, that the Negroes of the United States are fast reaching the position of an animal at bay. He should have pointed out, withal, that this very policy of depriving him of the rights which other men hold as dear as life itself is fast driving the Negro to desperation. Have New Yorkers forgotten Cain's case? Cain, it will be recalled, got into a slight altercation with a white man on an elevated train. In an instant the man became a demon, and before he could be brought down every person whom he had been able to reach was either dead or frightfully wounded. Cain is now in an insane asylum, but who has stopped to figure out just how much of that insanity is due to the black cloud of oppression under which Cain found himself compelled to live from the day of his birth? Cain's case, standing alone, means nothing. Taken, however, in connection with the whole status of the Negro in this country, it teaches the lesson that it were far, far better to encourage the Negro to be a good citizen than to make of him an Ishmaelite. On the 29th of last June Senator Vardaman said the people of the United States, without regard to section, are now ready for the political degradation of the Negro race. Upon the floor of the Senate, Mr. Root, replying to Mr. Bacon, declared, that if the people of the United States ever came to realize that the political degradation of the Negro race was about to be accomplished, then and there the great reserve powers of the Federal Government would be called into play and the attempted infamy should not be allowed. Who is right—Root, the statesman and Builder, or Vardaman, the destructionist? Mr. Vardaman says the question of the Negro's political status is far more important than any other question now before the American people. From one view point—the true one—this is largely correct, but everybody knows that Senator Vardaman means no good either to the Negro or to the nation as a whole. In writing as he did, Adam Patterson has played into the hands of Senator Vardaman, thereby traducing the honor of his people. As long as he lives Adam Patterson will deserve the hatred and contempt of his fellows, and I have no doubt that, like Benedict Arnold, he will receive both. irresponsible agents who misrepresent the standings of the companies for the purpose of furnishing means of punishing those who collude with dishonest policy holders for the purpose of defrauding companies.—A t l a n t a Constitution. NUMBER 49 Band Concert Brilliant Affair Band Concert Brilliant Affair ABOUT 1,000 PERSONS ATTENDED THEATRE Program Most Entertaining Ever Heard Here—Banquet Largely Attended—Charity Hospital and Old Folks Home Receive Portion of Proceeds Not only living up to but in every sense surpassing the high reputation which had preceded it to this city, the Tuskegee Institute band arrived in town last Monday morning and at night rendered a concert at the Savannah theatre which was the grandest affair ever given in this city by Negroes. In every respect the boys from the greatest industrial school in the world acquitted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner, and their appearance here was the means of bringing out the most intelligent and appreciative gathering of Negroes that ever was assembled at Savannah Theater. The music by the band was as classic as that rendered in this city by any aggregation of musicians and, in addition, was of greater variety. There was not an idle moment during the entire program, and the audience which, by the way, numbered about a thousand persons, applauded each number so liberally that several enchores had to be given. The gross receipts from the concert amounted to four hundred ninety five dollars and out of a part of the net proceeds both Charity Hospital and the Old Folks' Home received an equal amount. After the concert, the Knights of Pythias band, uniformed in white duck, escorted the visiting band to the Harris street hall, where the most enjoyable banquet in recent years was tendered the young men and their affable and able leader, Capt N. Clarke Smith, by the local Tuskegee club and the Negro Business League. And maybe everybody at the banquet didn't have a jolly timel Why they danced the "Tango" the "Turkey trot," and they "didn't go home until morning." The ladies were all dressed in the latest fashions and presented a beautiful scene. The band left next morning for Augusta. Over Home News, Beaufort S. C (J. S. Blocker. Correspondent) Several thousand people heard Tuskegee Institute Band and Glee Club at this place and more than a thousand failed to gain admission. The auditorium was inadequate for such an extraordinary and popular outpouring of people. Prof. N. Clark Smith's visit to Beaufort will be a memorable one in this city. It was a grand success from the very moment that the Tuskegee Band reached the city last Saturday morning. The sea-front was crowded with visitors from all parts of the islands in and near Beaufort, watching for the street parade by the band, which took place at 12:30 p. m. from the auditorium up Bay street to Charles to Prince thence to Craven and back to Bay street. Never in the history of Beaufort has such a crowd of colored people taken so much interest in any Negro entertainment. Long before the hour for the arrival of the band the sea front was lined with our best colored citizens to welcome them to our city, a city where the Negro has more freedom than in any other section of the United States. Beaufort was indeed highly honored in having the band, when Charleston and Aiken were cut out by the management in order to play in Beaufort. "At no place in our travels have we had so much hospitality shown as in Beaufort," said Prof N. Clark Smith. Cards are out announcing the wedding of Prof. Bell of Elberton, Ga., and Miss Helen Caffey of this city, Wednesday September 3rd. The Mu-So-Lit Club were charmingly entertained at the home of Miss Fair this week with whist. Mr.J. A. Nimmons, one of (Continued on Page Four) On Sunday morning the services were conducted by Rev. Walker. He read for the lesson Acts 7:9-46. His text was from Acts 11:24. The sermon was much enjoyed. The choir sang, "We must tarry till we better." Rev. Wright led the hymn, "More like Jesus would I be." At night the church was crowded. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalm 89, his text was from Exodus 15:11. The subject was, "No being like God." It was a beautiful sermon, witnessed by all, especially Christians. He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mery seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered. We are always glad to welcome strangers, so come at any time. The A. U. C. B. League. The Allen Union Christian Endeavor League met last Sunday at 4:30 p. m., at St. Philip Church. A large crowd of young people was out and assisted in the program. Conference Superintendent, Rev. L. A. Townsley was present and delivered an able address, as well as did Rev. I. G. Glass of Americus, Ga., and Dr. R. H. Singleton The subject was well discussed by Messrs. Jesse Brinson, W. L. Vickers, W. O. P. Sherman and others. The members present seemed to vie with each others in the discussion of the topic. Miss Annie Howard, rendered a beautiful recitation on missions. The next session of of the league will be held at Gaines Chapel on the 4th, Sunday in August, at which time all the new, officers will be installed. W. L. Vickers, president; Miss Sadie E. Lightburn, secretary. St. Philip Church St. Philip was highly honored on last Sunday in person of Rev. R. V. Branch, pastor of Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., who preached a powerful sermon at 11 a. m. Rev. I. J. Glass, presiding elder of the American conference, Southwest Georgia, at 8:30 p. m. Rev. Singleton and the Sunday school delegates that were at the Sunday school convention at Rocky Ford, returned on Saturday. They reported having a finesession. The following Sunday school teachers won prizes: Mrs. R. C. Hodges, Miss Nellie M. Hart, Mrs. C. P. Franks. These ladies read papers on various subjects. We are sorry to note the bad blood that existed among the Odd-Fellows at St. Philip in their opening exercise. The pastor and officers will see to it that nothing of that character will occur in St. Philips again; it is a shame to desecrate the house of God in a manner like that. Our members must be up and doing for our fall rally on the second Sunday in September. Each club must raise ten dollars. The tableau Ruth that was presented at St. Philip on last week by the St. Philip Dramatic Association was creditably rendered. Messrs. J. H. Whitis and John H. Law deserve much credit for the great interest they are taking in training the young men and women. First Congregational Church. This is vacation month at the church. Only one service is held on Sunday at 11 o'clock. Tomorrow morning Rev. S. T. Redd will preach. Sunday school at 9:45; Christian Endeavor meeting at 7 o'clock p.m. Monumental Notes Sunday was a day long to be remembered at the "Mother Church." Rev. I. G. Glass, presiding elder of the Americus district preached a powerful sermon at 11 o'clock from Job. 13:15. We hope to hear him again. At night Rev. Townsley preached another of his soul stirring sermons, although he complained of not being well. He is collecting dollar money and from all indications he will make his fifth year the best of all. Come out and hear him even in the Sunday school, and you will never regret it. A cordial welcome awaits all. Services Sunday: Early prayer meeting, Sunday school at 9:30 a.m., preaching at 11 a. m., and 8:30 p.m. Allen Christian Endeavor at 6 p.m. Wont you come, you are welcome. Second Baptist Church. The services on Sunday morning were well attended by a large concourse of members and visiting friends. The pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, preached from 2nd Corf. 4:4, subject "The Glorious Gospel of God." At 8:30 p.m., the services were also well attended. His text was 2nd.

Don't forget the concert by the choir on Sunday night, August 31st. A very interesting program is promised. Services tomorrow as follows: Prayer service 6 a. 'm.; Sunday school 9:45 a. m.; preaching 11 a. m.; subject, "Jesus Weeping Over a City." B. Y. P. U., 7 p. m.; preaching 8:30 p. m., subject, "An Acceptable Sacrifice Into God." Woman's Missionary meeting, Monday 4:30 p. m., Sacred Concert Sunday August 31st. Plenty of fans and ice water. Good music. St. Paul C. M. E. Church The Rev. J. A. Martin, preached two sermons on last Sunday to a well packed house at each service. He is a pulpit orator and a drawing card to any community. Standing room is at a premium at each services. Rev. G. W. Taylor, presiding elder of Savannah district, will fill the pulpit tomorrow and a glorious time is anticipated. Friends are invited to attend. G. W. Taylor's club, No. 1. will give a chicken roast on Monday night, August 25th, at the home of Mrs. Mamie Whitfield 1217 Bolton street, east, under the auspices of Miss Mislisia Brown. The public is invited to attend. Local Happenings Boiled Down to Hasty Readers Arrangements are now being made for a turning basin opposite Fig Island. This basin will put the port far ahead the others on the South Atlantic. Mr. George White was drown while working at the M. and M. wharves Tuesday last. Fire destroyed the green grocery of William Brown, West Savannah, about midnight Tuesday. The dog census is being taken and many persons of all classes are being hauled up before the Recorder's court for failure to secure a badge. The licenses of Jacob Dukes and J. H. Monsees were revoked by the Board of Sanitary Commission for having a dirty dairy and selling watered milk. J. F. Dubberly, a white man, of Screven, Ga., was arrested Tuesday, charged with forging check. Among the Masons Perfection should be your aim. Nothing less is worthy the ambition of a Mason. A man is not a Mason simply because he wears the emblem of the order on his watch chain, any more than a pirate ship belongs to us because she floats the Stars and Strips. Don't dry up and shrivel up and become sour and selfish. Give some of your time and means to the institutions that make life worth living and bless the race. If you would be happy and do good in the world, get into every good thing a-going and-push and pull to make it go better. Never forget that your own pleasure should be the last consulted. The girth of the man who follows the Golden Rule of life grows larger day by day.—Exchange. A MISSION FOR MASONS Freemasonry is the pioneer of civilization. It has a creed broad enough to embrace all that is good in all religions. It makes citizens better ones under any form of government. It breaks down the barrier of birth, race, creed and tends to make all nations one great common nation. Who would not prefer to be a member of an organization that had its branches and alliances in all hands, embracing good men of every nationality, rather than of high and exclusive casts with narrowing creed of self conceits, self righteousness, and self sufficiency? What Freemasonry wants is a field of operation as broad as its principles, a career of aggressive charity, harmonizing the warring elements of society, substituting the arbitration of reason for that of the sword and when wars come, as come they will, softening the asperities and animosities and staunching the wounds and relieving the sufferings they entail. There is a mission and a work for our noble institution at all times and all over the world. There is work enough, too, for all we can enlist and for all the allies Masons, of all persons in the world, should use discretion, prudence and justice when they go to the ballot box to vote on the acceptance or rejection of a candidate, either for the degrees or for membership. In a case where membership is asked, the craft should be more than careful. If a man is already a Mason, and there is a sufficient reason to exclude him from the Lodge in which he seeks membership then the member who has authority to vote against such acceptance should acquaint the Lodge that the man rejected is unfit to hold his membership in any Lodge. The ballot box is no place to vent spleen, ill-feeling, spite or personal grievance. The man who makes use of the ballot for such a purpose is neither a man nor a Mason. He is unfit to associate with members of the craft. He takes an undue advantage of a man who has no means of setting himself aright. At the same time, if there is any reason why a candidate should be rejected, every Mason has the inalienable right, and it is his duty, to vote against such an applicant. Moral fitness, good reputation and general character are the standards. His position is not to be considered. His creed concerns him and his maker. Mason.—Virginia Masonic Journal. METALLIC SUBSTANCE Anciently no one was permitted to appear armed in the sacred precincts of the Lodge, and this was especially enforced in reference to the first admission. The Lodge is a place devoted to peace and harmony. As the old song, more than a century old, says: That he no way may hurta Freemason." The ceremonies of Freemasonry, like the teachings of Pythagoras, like the prophecies of Isaiah, have always double significance. One is exoteric, the other esoteric. All the ceremonies of Freemasonry might be printed in a book or exhibited on the stage, and yet none of the mysteries of Freemasonry would thereby be exposed. The unthinking crowa might laugh at what seemed ridiculous, or be seriously impressed by what seemed solemn, but of neither the one nor the other phase would they have a proper appreciation. I have selected the above subject to illustrate this idea. Masonry teaches and is harmony. Therefore the dagger and the pistol have no place inside a Masonic Lodge. But there are weapons of offense and defence more distractive to peace and harmony than the bowie knife or revolver. "Therefore," say the charges of a Freemason, no piques or quarrels must be brought within the door of the Lodge, far less any quarrels about religion or nations or state policy." Or as the apostle Peter puts it: "Lay aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings." Thus divested and thus only may the true Mason enter a Masonic door. Again we read in the holy Bible that "the house (Solomon's temple), when it was in building was, built of stone made ready before it was brought thither; so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in building." This is true of all great buildings, and was hardly worthy of the pen of the historian unless some moral lesson was to be derived therefrom. Like our ancient brethren, we are building a temple, not like theirs, of stone and wood, but of immortal souls. With them a defective stone would have endangered the whole edifice, and so it is with us. Our material must be made ready in the quarries and forests of the world before it is brought hither. Masonry is, in a certain sense, reformatory. That is to say, we have a right to expect a man to be a better man after having passed through our solemn ceremonies. But he must be already worthy and well qualified before he is duly and truly prepared.—Allen McDowell. Society Fable. Truth, Scandal and Flattery went to the Uppercrust ball. Truth was promptly ejected for being naked. Scandal was put back into a shadow, but every one was introduced to her during the evening. Flattery, being docked in fine apparel and false jewels, was given the place of honor in the grand promenade and at table. The great social occasion was variously reported—to the uninvited by Scandal, to the newspapers by Flattery and to the Recording Angel by Truth—Life. 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.

Sartorial Inspiration From the Orient. This novelty tailored suit designed for the autumn is made by a famous dressmaking establishment of Paris. The fabric is crape tussore in a brocaded pattern. The suit is trimmed with printed silk in Post-Impressionist effect and with plaited chiffon. The coat is a modified cutaway affair, showing vest and skirt of an oriental type and a tunic of brown chiffon. The inspiration is derived from modern art and oriental form. New Fields In Which to Earn Money. Spurred by the high cost of living the self supporting woman is developing fresh versatility in the way of opening new fields in which to earn money. One business woman leases a seven room apartment, retains four rooms for herself and her mother and rents the three remaining rooms at $15 a month each. With such an arrangement almost the entire rent of the apartment is paid by the roomers. This woman has run a self supporting establishment on this plan for two years and recommends the idea as the most satisfactory way of maintaining a comfortable home. "I don't believe in starting such a venture," she says, "unless a woman has the necessary furniture and is naturally fond of housekeeping. To go in debt for the furniture means a struggle to catch up which takes away much of the pleasure of the arrangement. With even a few hundred dollars attend to meet one's rent in case rooms are not taken, I see no reason why my plan should not appeal to many business women who are now living in tiny rooms in boarding houses. There is nothing co-operative in our arrangement and the three women who room with us are free to leave at any time. I take all the financial risk. "We have a laundress twice a week, and one day a woman comes to clean. Our rent is practically nothing. We get our own breakfasts and go to a boarding house in the neighborhood for our dinners. With the present cost of food we have found it more satisfactory to follow this plan." PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO. PATE, Proprietor Do you get up in the morning feeling bad and sleepy.

What you bottle of Pate's Chill Cookery Points Preserving Pickles. In picking vegetables and fruits the first idea is to employ a means of preserving these foods for a considerable length of time, generally until the winter, when there is a scarcity or utter lack of fresh fruits and green vegetables. For this purpose salt or acid liquor is used. In vinegar pickles the addition of spices and sugar aid in preserving and increasing the palatability of pickles. The sweeping condensation against all pickles and condiments is ill advised and misguilding to those who depend on authoritative and official information in the line of dietetics, says Lida Ames Willis. There is a large class of persons who should avoid pickles or the use of acids of any kind. Nature or the abnormal condition of the system will soon demonstrate the danger of indulgence by the discomfort caused by too much acidity in the stomach. Do not eat pickles unless you crave them, and if after eating them, as an accessory, not in a large quantity, you feel no ill effect, but, on the other hand, assimilate your food properly, you may consider pickles are wholesome in your individual case at least. (Note.—In all vegetable pickles, cutsups and sauces the addition of fresh grated horseradish will add greatly to the "goodness" and preserve the vinegar, preventing any mold.) Dressing For the Pickles. One gallon cider vinegar, a dozen tablespoonfuls mustard or a jug of French mustard, two cupfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of turmeric powder, one large cupful of flour wet with little cold vinegar; put into the boiling vinegar, boil five minutes and then pour over the thoroughly drained pickles. These are the finest mixed pickles you ever made. If you like string beans in pickles put in two quarts, steamed and cut in inch pieces. The turmeric powder gives the rich yellow color. Aunt Jane Harmon's Pickles. One gallon of cucumbers cut small; one gallon green tomatoes, quartered; half a gallon of onions, steamed; two heads of cauliflower, steamed; half lozen green peppers; scald in strong salt brine and let stand from one to two days. Mrs. Grant's French Pickle. Slice into a stoneware or earthen jar a peck of green tomatoes and six large Mexican onions. Pour over them a cupful of salt. Let stand for twenty four hours and strain off the liquid. Dissolve three pounds of sugar in a quart of good elder vinegar. Add quarter of a pound of white mustard seed, loose, and one teaspoonful each of ground ginger and cloves; two teaspoonfuls of mustard and one of cayenne pepper. Turn in the tomatoes and onions and cook gently for about fifteen minutes, then pack in glass or stoneware jars. Capital Mixed Pickles. One peck green tomatoes, ten onions, ten sweet green peppers, chopped all together and fine; one cup salt mixed through them. Let stand over night. Drain and press out all the liquid and put into a porcelain lined kettle with a pound of brown sugar, half a cup fresh grated horseradish, a tablespoonful each ground black pepper, mustard, celery seed and whole of white mustard seed. Cover with good vinegar and boll gently for an hour. Sandwich Fillings Ripe bananas, mashed, seasoned with lemon juice and sweetened to taste, make a hearty sandwich filling. The bread on which this filling is spread should be only lightly buttered. A sandwich filling with a flavor which puzzles is made by mixing half a cupful of grated maple sugar with a quarter of a cupful of chopped roasted peanuts and a tablespoonful of sweet cream. This filling is delicious on either brown or white bread. Fish sandwiches are appetizing. Fish paste is now sold ready for use either in glass jars or tubes. It may also be prepared at home by freeing any cold cooked fish from bones and skin and mincing it. It should then be mixed to a paste with highly seasoned mayonnaise. If the fish is oily a good deal of lemon juice, vinegar or chopped capers may be used. Cream of Onion Soup. Slice sufficient white onions to measure one and a half cupfuls. Heat two tablespoonfuls of butter in a large pan, add the onions and cook slowly, shaking now and then until the onions are tender, but hardly beginning to color. Sprinkle over them two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until absorbed. Add gradually one quart of hot milk, stirring that it may thicken evenly. When at the boiling point season, draw to one side and let simmer ten minutes. Rub through a sieve, return to the fire and serve hot. Caramel Custard. Put two tablespoonfuls sugar into a small saucepan and stir it until it becomes quite brown, then pour it into a plain pudding mold. Butter the sides of the mold. Beat the eggs with four tablespoonfuls of sugar together till mixed well, then add one pint milk and one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Pour into mold, cover with buttered paper, steam gently for one hour. Turn out and serve hot or cold. --- RIPENED MINDS.

Do the Classics Help Us? The answer lies in one little word, art. The classics, more than any modern literature, teach us art, and art is the conscious purpose of man to make this world more beautiful, Philip Sidney says that the object of poetry is to make this too much loved world more lovely; I should extend his definition a little further and say that the object of art is to make this world more lovely, more lovable and more loved.—Henry D. Sedgwick in the Atlantic. The Individual Clock. A gentleman in a club in Grand Rapids, Mich., had formed the hopeless and harmful habit of taking too much to drink—alcoholically speaking—before he went home every evening. "How does he know what time to go home?" asked a stranger in the club one night. "It's this way," explained a member. "He goes to the head of that long flight of stairs leading to the street. If he falls down them he knows, it's time to go home."—Popular Magazine. Artful. Housewife—Now, what do you want?

The talesman had wriggled and wriggled, and finally the judge lost patience. "Do you mean to state on oath that you don't think you have sufficient intelligence to render a just verdict on the evidence?" he shouted. "Not exactly that, judge." said the talesman. "but the fact is that for the last ten years my mind has been made up for me by my wife and mother-in-law, and, as I understand this jury stunt, I shall not be allowed to communicate with them." "Excused!" cried the judge. "I'm a married man myself."—Magazine of Fun. Beea and. Tin Pans. The practice of heating tin pans to settle bees, no doubt, grew out of an old English law, now almost forgotten, which required the beekeeper to give notice in this way that his bees were about to swarm and that he was entitled to follow them and get them back. If, after giving this warning, he failed to follow the swarm or if he lost sight of them and they alighted elsewhere the bees became the possession of the person on whose land they settled.—Farm and Home. --- USE WELL YOUR TIME.

Woman's World. Recent Jewelry Thefts Alarm Society Mondaines, MRS. JOHN H. HANAN (TOP) AND MRS. CHARLES CARY RUMSEY. That women of wealth are often careless with jewels of great price is again evidenced in the case of Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey, daughter of, Mrs. E. H. Harriman, who recently lost from her Newport home gems valued at $100,000. Mrs. Runsey, it seems was in the habit of leaving a, number of her favorite jewels in an unlocked bureau drawer, their resting place being two pasteboard boxes. Now every woman knows what a lot of personal plunder can find a home in a dressing table drawer, and she also knows what an easy thing it is to upset boxes and drag out some treasured article unawares from this convenient spot; this is annoying to the owner of the belonging besides being unnecessary temptations to dishonest servants. Mrs. John II. Hanan, wife of the wealthy shoe manufacturer of New York, also a recent victim of jewelry theft, owes her loss to the carelessness of a maid left in charge of jewels to be placed in a secret drawer which were stolen while the maid was absent from the room for a few minutes. It is known that in foreign countries many women of wealth are content to wear duplicates of their fine jewels, and with the lack of supervision in country houses it would not be a bad idea on this side of the water for women to follow their example. On one occasion many years ago the late Mrs. Paran Stevens reported the loss at a fashionable ball of a diamond and emerald tiara. The host was in great distress when Mrs. Stevens went to him the day following to ask if there was any trace of the lost ornament, and upon learning that it had not been found she said: "Well, don't worry; they were only imitation and I did not want them to fall into strange hands." When Mrs. Potter Palmer used to go to Bar Harbor she always carried there for the season imitations of her wonderful pearls, whose value was well known the world over. Mrs. Palmer did not care to have the responsibility of so much that was valuable and in travelling she always left her best jewels in the safe deposit vault at her Chicago home. Minnesota Women Try Press Reform. Minnesota Women Try Dress Reform. Declaring that the present styles in dresses are not fit for modest women, and those who refuse to wear tight skirts are obliged to do without new garments, the Fourth district of the Federation of Women's clubs of Minnesota has stated a dress reform which it is proposed to make nation wide. Recently the board wrote to every manufacturer and buyer of ready made clothing for women and to every manufacturer and publisher of dress patterns making an appeal for modification of the present styles. The letter being sent to the clothing manufacturers reads: "The executive board of the Fourth district of the Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs, at the request of a number of women, ask that, beginning with the next season, there be furnished some very attractive, up to date garments where the width at the bottom of the skirts shall be two yards for a woman of thirty-six inch bust measure, well proportioned, not drawing tight across the form at any part, and reaching within three inches of the shoe; other sizes in proportion. "Many women under protest have been obliged to use the present styles of ready made clothing, but very many have informed us that they have done without new garments rather than buy such as have been offered during the last few months. We ask for some different styles for modest gentlewomen from those suited to the demimondalne." The appeal to the manufacturers and publishers of patterns is worded the same, except that the letter states that few women who use patterns are competent to make changes in them and that many object seriously to the styles furnished during the last few months and ask relief. The pattern makers are asked to change their product for the next month's issue of patterns.

Saturday August 23rd, 1913 Gossip, no matter how slightly or widely indulged in, always does damage to some one and too often the innocent are made to suffer at at the hands of those who persist in carelessly wagging their tongues about matters of which they are absolutely ignorant. Many a person of spotless character has not only been embarrassed by unkind and inconsiderate gossipers but also made to suffer much anguish. Mean, low and degraded indeed are those who will attack the good name of a person, his most precious possession, simply for the sake of gossip. Let us remember that "there is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it ill behooves any of us to speak of the rest of us. The attention of our readers is called to a dispatch from Atlanta in regard to the recent bill passed by the legislature relative to the insurance companies of the State. This bill will no doubt have a salutatory effect. Too long has the industrial insurance companies been burdened with additional expenses caused by the action of unthoughtful physicians who would sign sick claims unjustly. Under the present laws should any physician falsely sign any claim and it can be proven he can be dealt with and punished. The bill is an excellent one and throws other safe guards around the insurance companies that have been badly needed. Our people throughout the country, have cause for much regret over the present embarrassment which has come to Gov. Sulzer of New York State on account of his recent embroglio with the leaders of Tammany. Since he assumed the gubernatorial toga in early spring, Governor Sulzer has proven himself to be a leader who felt that the interest of the whole people of New York State, regardless as to race, color or previous condition of servitude, was his. As a result, his every act since governor of New York State, has been that of a man who has tried to do his duty to others as best he saw it. In attaching his signature to the Civil Rights bill, the Colored Regimental bill, and a bill providing for an appropriation of $25000 to be used in New York state in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro, Gov. Sulzer has rendered the race three distinct services for which it is duly thankful. In so doing Governor Sulzer has done more for the race in New York State than even his distinguished predecessor of republican persuasion. We believe that at heart, Governor Sulzer is a good man. At the present time our belief in his honesty and integrity remains unshaken. And while it may be true that he erred in his report of his campaign contributions and expenditures, yet on account of our very great respect and admiration for the man, we suspend judgment on him for the present at least. According to American jurisprudence, a man charged with an offense is innocent until he is proven guilty. Governor Sulzer is only charged with an offense. The offense remains to be proved. We shall have to sit and await the outcome of his trial. Meanwhile our sympathies, our hopes and our prayers go out to him in our desire to witness his complete vindication of the charges preferred. Let us hope that the impeachment proceedings against our friend, Governor Sulzer, will not be sustained. The twenty eighth session of district grand lodge No.18, Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows, is now history. Never before in the history of the order has a more stormy and tumultuous gathering been held. Almost from the sounding of the gavel by the master of ceremonies at the opening session to the close of the session two days after, bickerings and dissentions among the delegates and members of the order were rife. It is hardly within the memory of the oldest inhabitants of the city when a more tumultuous gathering has been held. And this, despite the fact that the cardinal points around which the order revolves are friendship, love and truth. Think of it! Brethren pledged to be loyal, faithful and true to each other so much at variance with each other until they seek each other's throat in order to vent their spleen. It goes without saying that the recent session of the district grand lodge No.18, Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows of the Jurisdiction of Georgia, held within our midst, was a disgrace in the truest sense of the word. The order can hardly expect to succeed or gain accessions of new members as long as the rank and file of the order display such a belligerent spirit toward each other. A change must of necessity be brought about or else the order will go to pieces. There can be nothing but the greatest condemnation from every one who witnessed the recent session of the Odd-Fellows, of the conduct of the officers and certain members of the order. Not only has the order suffered thereby but the race and entire community as well. It is indeed our sincerest wish that the order set itself about at once to purge itself of the undesirables who hold high stations within. Peace and harmony must be had in order to insure success. By all means let the hearty successors of the illustrious Peter Ogden again insist on this. It is indeed with much pleasure that we note that Georgia has at last decided to give more attention to the rural elementary education and training of her children. By a recent act of hers, Prof. Charles D. Goodard has been selected as state superintendent of rural elementary education. One of Prof. Goddard's duties will be to see to it that ample provision be made in the elementary schools of the state for the industrial education of Negro children. This is indeed as it should be. With thirteen agricultural schools scattered throughout the state and not a one opened to Negro children, the State of Georgia can well afford at this time to provide in some way for the education of her Negro subjects. For a long time, at least, the bulk of our people must earn their livelihood by the use of their hands. If this be true, then these hands must be trained to give the best service possible. This can best be done when the hand training takes place under systematic direction. No other place is as well suited for the carrying out of this systematic direction of hand training as the school room. In providing for the proper training of the hand of her Negro children, the State of Georgia has acted well. In years to come, she will be well repaid for her services in this direction to the Negro children. We congratulate the state on her effort along this line and assure her that the harvest resulting from such a move on her part will be both abundant and profitable. Seldom, if ever, have our people been more greatly surprised and shocked by the utterance of an individual, than they are over the recent utterances anent our people, attributed to the distinguished head of our State University system, Chancellor David C. Barrow. In his recent address to the State Agricultural Society, Chancellor Barrow made it plain that in his opinion, the present status of the Negro is little removed from savagery. He intimated that as an individual the Negro is not capable of taking care of himself, hence he should be equally distributed among the entire people in order that he might be given the proper guardianship by the individual members of his race Throughout his address, the Chancellor emphasized his belief in the Negro's inability to reach a high state of civilization. Far removed from us is the desire to criticise or contradict a man of the intellectual bearing of our distinguished Chancellor especially when the subject at issue is along his particular line. Yet we cannot in justice to our conscience sit by idly and silently and allow a view so much at variance with ours to go by unchallenged. We certainly do not agree with our distinguished Chancellor that our people are just beyond the savage state and the highest development. On the other hand, statistics as well as history shows that our people have been able to reach the highest standard not only of American civilization and citizenship but in any other part of the world in which they find themselves. Judging the Chancellor by his past utterance in regard to our people, we cannot help but feel that contrary to his inner most views, he is now leaning toward the side of popular applause. This indeed is to be regretted. However Chancellor Barrow has had his say. He has done us no little harm in so doing nevertheless we trust that in his future rounds to the schools in which Negroes are taught that he will find ample evidence of progress and education to cause him to retract some of his recent utterances. (Continued.From Page One) Address Booker T. Washington brick yards. It is easily possible to find inviting places North and South where 4,000 more grocery stores can be opened. We need 2,000 additional dry goods stores, and 1,500 shoe stores. Our race needs 1,000 more good restaurants and hotels. White women in all par,s of the world are opening millinery shops. I want to see a large number of our bright ambitious colored women do the same thing. There are openings for starting 1,500 millinery stores. We already have over 350 drug tores, but 1,000 more could be started and would be sustained. s We have already more than 60 Negro banks, but 150 additional banks should be organized. In cities like Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile three or four banks in each city properly organized and conducted could be supported. Now is the time to sieze hold of these opportunities and use them before it is too late. These great chances are at our door. Shall we use them? Too many of our well educated young men and women are content to be merely salary drawers or wage earners, depending on some one else to think and plan for them. Our race, like others, must be built upon an economic foundation as well as an intellectual, moral and religious one. Work more and more in these directions and neither we nor our children will be dependent upon the uncertainties of seeking and holding political office for our living. I repeat we must create positions for ourselves — positions which no man can give nor take from us. The land, the forests, the minerals, the streams, sun and rain from which original wealth comes draw no color line. Of the ten millions of black people in the United States, nine million at least belong to the ordinary hard working classes. In all our planning for business success we will not, cannot succeed unless we get close to these hard working masses. They are the backbone of our race. We must not feel we are not a part of them nor must we ever get above them. I beg you in your local leagues that you get hold of the man who works with his pick and plow and of the woman who cooks, washes, irons, or sews. These people will put money into your banks and support your other commercial enterprises. Finally, as a race we must not be discouraged. There will come to us, as to all races, seasons of depression and gloom. Once in a while even those in high places may seem to seek to insult, humiliate and harass us but they cannot last. "The morning cometh." Those who treat us unjustly are losing more than we are. So often the keeper of the prison is on the outside but the free man is on the inside. As I said in the beginning, we have more friends both North and South than enemies. Let us advertise our friends more and our enemies less. We must not lose our faith in our white friends, and above all this we must have constant and unvarying faith in our own race. We must be proud of being a Negro as the Japanese is of being a Japanese. Let us go from this great meeting filled with a spirit of race pride rejoicing in the fact that we belong to a race that has made greater progress within fifty years than any race in history, and let each dedicate himself to the task of doing his part in making the ten millions of black citizens in America an example for all the world in usefulness, law-abiding habits and high character.

The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Father O'Cornor. The contracting parties were Miss Bessie Moore, niece of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Jackson, and Mr. Edward C. Proctor of Cincinnati.

The bodice was draped in surplice effect. The drapery was caught up on the left side and held in place with pearl ornaments. The yoke and edge of the sleeves were of shadow lace. Her tulle veil which was arranged in cap effect, reached to the end of her train. In her hand she carried a beautiful white prayer book. The maid of honor, Miss Veronica Beasley, of Savannah, Ga., wore a pale yellow crepe de chine draped over shadow lace, the lacing showing half way down each side above the drapery and at the bottom of the skirt in front where the drapery was divided. The shadow lace bodice was also draped with crepe de chine. The broad crushed girdle and bow at the back were of gold colored brocade. With this was worn a white hat trimmed with an ostrich band and a flat yellow bow at the back. Her bouquet was of deep cream sweet peas tied with yellow chiffon. The groom was attended by Mr. Cavel McCraw of Boston. In the evening a large reception was held at the Knights of Pythias rooms. The bride and groom stood up to receive their friends, under a bower of palms. After the reception they left for their future home in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Brown, a colored man has recently opened a $25,000 storage house at Scranton, Pennsylvania. Mr. Brown owns the building, which has just been completed. A Local Business League, to affiliate with the National Negro Business League, was organized at Fairmont, D. C., July 23rd. Present to lend encouragement, and who made short addresses, were J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury; Daniel Freeman, president of the Business League at Washington, D. C., and Ralph W. Tyler, National Organizer. The Mallory Brothers, Edward and Frank, are conducting a very successful business at Jacksonville, Illinois, handling almost everything possible, from diamonds to stoves. Their business is perhaps the most diversified controlled by any of their race. Recently they added a real estate department. They began as musicians, having the Mallory orchestra, the leading orchestra at Jacksonville. They still conduct their orchestra, while managing their other large business. C. H. James, a Negro wholesale commission merchant, at Clarkeston, W. Va., did a $60,000 business the past year. Mr. James owns the three story block in which his business is located. He employs ten persons, all of his own race. He has been, at times, secretary and chairman of the Wholesale Commission Merchants? Association of his city. The most thoroughly modern private hospital in Huntingdon, W. Va., is the Barnett Hospital, owned and managed by Dr. Clinton Barnett, a Negro physician of that city. Dr. Bennett built and equipped his hospital at an expense of $25,000. Dr. Barnett is a member of the Negro Business League. The finest barber shop, a marble palace, in Wheeling, W. Va., is owned by two Negroes. It is the most modern and complete shop in the city. A. L. Jackson, one of the owners, is active in his interest in the Negro Business League. Huntingdon, W. Va., offers a good opening for a capable, hustling Negro undertaker. The city city has over 2,000 Negro population in the coal fields tributary to Huntington. The Negro Business League at Washington, D.C., under the presidency of Daniel Freeman, has become a potent factor in that city and the opening of many new and diversified business places there is largely due to Mr. Freeman's inspiration and interest. The most successful caterer in Pittsburgh, Pa., is John T. Writt, a Negro, whose place of business is 209 4th Avenue, that city. Mr. Writt has been in business for a number of years, and includes among his patrons the wealthiest and most exclusive whites in the smoky city. The Industrial Savings, Loan and Investment Company, with a paid up capital of $25,000, is a Negro organization at Danville, Va., that is proving a great success. The company, in addition to helping Negroes secure homes in the city, owns considerable real estate, much of which is business property. A large auditorium of pressed brick, is one of its holdings. J. R. Wilson, the secretary, is a big factor in making it a success. Announcement Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Blake beg to announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Carrie Blake, to Mr. Charles M. Wallace of Savannah, marriage to take place in September. Died in Baltimore. Mrs. Ella Martha Hicks (nee Collins) fell asleep in the arms of Jesus on the morning of August 14th, 1913, at the residence of her daughter, Eva Delahay (nee Hicks) She was born, reared and educated in New Haven Conn., and was 59 years old. Her father and family were among the leading families of Georgia. On visiting Georgia she became acquainted with Mr. Hicks whom she married and attached herself to one of the Baptist churches of which her husband was a member. She was the daughter of the late William Collins of Macon, Ga. The marriage of her daughter Eva to Mr. James T. Delahay of this state brought her here to our city 12 years ago. She attached herself to Bethel A. M. E. Church. She was faithful to God, faithful to the loved ones in her home, faithful to every duty. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Fickland her pastor assisted by Rev. Hill and Rev. Watson of Sharp St., M. E. Church. The interment was at Mt. Atburn Cemetery. Following were the pallbearers Messrs Taylor, Cress, Palmer, class leader, Francis, Brown and J. T. Delahay In Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of our dear and loving sister, MILDRED SAMPSON, who departrd this life one year ago to-day, August 22, 1912 "Twas at thy door, O Mildred! and not at mine, The angel with the amaranthine wreath Pausing, decended, and, with a voice devine, Whispered a word that had a sound like death. Then fell upon our house a sudden gloom, A shadow on those features sweet and thin; And softly from that hushed and darkened room, Two angels issued where but one went in" If earth another grave must bear, Yet heaven hath won a sweeter strain; And something whispers in despair That, from an orient chamber there, Floats down: "We meet again." Nor shall a sorrowing tear be shed, O Mildred sweet, thou art not dead! In spite of time's malignant chill, With living fire thy presence thrill, And we shall say, "She liveth still" By loving father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sampson, Sisters Hazel and Maud Sampson, Inez C. Sampson, By a friend, Mrs. A. E. Orner. Welsh-Smoke Nuptials On the second Sunday of this month Mr. and Mrs. Cubit Welsh of Woodville gave, in marriage, their daughter Janie to Mr. Joe Smoke of Hudson Hill.

Barbecue Good form The Silver Wedding. Many of the wedding uniniversaries are passed by unnoticed, but the "silver wedding," that comes after twenty-five years of married life, should always be celebrated. A quarter of a century of more or less happy married life is not so common a thing that it should be slighted. Even if one's pocketbook will not stretch to cover an elaborate celebration it is always possible to invite a few relatives and old friends and do the thing simply but none the less enjoyable for all that. If a big reception or dinner is given on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the wedding the invitations should be engraved. Sometimes a folded sheet of heavy unglazed paper similar to a wedding invitation is used and sometimes the invitations are like those used for an evening reception or "At Home." The wording should be engraved in silver and usually runs as follows: 1883. 1912. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stanton Brown request the pleasure of your company at the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding (or silver wedding, as one prefers) Tuesday evening, June nineteenth, at eight o'clock, fifteen hundred and two North Broadway. House Decorations. A very pretty idea is to decorate the house with white flowers, thus recalling the original bridal day, but it is, of course, perfectly permissible to use all sorts of colored blossoms, and many people prefer this as looking gayer and more festive. The hostess, who was the bride of twenty-five years ago, should, if it becomes her, be gowned in white. She is assisted in receiving by her husband, who stands beside her, and who is, of course, in evening dress and wears a white flower, a tiny rosebud or a single white carnation or gardenia in his buttonhole. The grown daughters of the family, whether they are married or single, assist, their mother in receiving, while the sons and sons-in-law circulate among the guests and do what they can to make them have a good time. The refreshments can either be served at small tables with an especial table for as many of the original wedding party as can be gathered together after the lapse of years, or they can be served "en buffet," as it is called—that is, passed around to each guest by the waiters assisted by the male members of the family with the single exception of the host of the occasion, and such intimate men friends of theirs as may be pressed into service. "En buffet" means "from the sideboard," but in most cases such refreshments are really served from the large dining table and direct from the kitchen. And this, at a silver wedding, gives occasion for very effective decorations. Appropriate Presents. The question of bringing presents on a wedding anniversary is a vexed one, and many people hesitate to accept an invitation of this sort, fearing that they will be expected to give an expensive piece of silver. Now, such gifts should be left for relatives and intimate friends, and unless one comes under that category it is not really necessary to give anything at all. But so many dalnty trifles in silver can be picked up cheaply nowadays that this aspect of the case need not frighten any one who feels better not to go empty handed. Delightful little vases decorated with silver deposit can be purchased as low as 50 cents and odd spoons for a very little more. The Third Person. Frequently the third person is ignored in a conversation. Two friends will indulge in reminiscences that place the extra woman decidedly beyond the pale. This is the height of rudeness. Some explanation that will politely let the outsider know the trend of the talk is due. "The trip of which we are speaking, Miss Jones, was abroad. You probably have had the same experience," will let Miss Jones know that she has not been forgotten and frequently will give her a chance to contribute to the conversation. If by these indirect means you cannot make the third one feel at ease, ask her direct questions. Make her feel that she is welcomed and not ignored. So much can be done by a tactful woman in this big question of the unexpected outsider that it is shameful to ignore the chances. And, my dear readers, do not let a day come when you will be ashamed to look in the face a friend or acquaintance who has been unfortunately an outsider. Above all, see that the third person is escorted to her home before you yourself are seen safely to the front door. Vacation Introductions Now that summer vacations are in order, the need of frequent introductions is very apparent, for new faces are constantly appearing, and custom demands that strangers be formally introduced to each other by a third person. Remember that the simplest form is the best. Do not give a lengthy introductory paragraph which leaves the two strangers standing in embarrassment. If you will keep in mind that a name should be clearly pronounced, to prevent all future trouble, you will form a habit of saying the names slowly and distinctly. JACKSONVILLE FLA AND RETURN Lv.

If you have a rubber doormat you are not using for its specific purpose or if you can get another mat for the door and put the rubber mat in the kitchen you will not regret the change. Placed front of the sink, before which the cook must stand so much, it will afford great relief to the feet. Notwithstanding so much has been said and written about women sitting to do what work they can, the majority will stand, and if anything so easy to provide as a rubber mat will add to their comfort it should be furnished. The Pocket Workbox The tidy and provident woman will delight in the rolls containing cottonis and needles of such convenient size that they may be carried in the purse or pocket. The rolls, which are made of leather fastened with a patent snap, contain three small reels of cotton, a needle book and thimble. When You Burn Your Cake. It sometimes happens that even with care the bottom of a cake or bread is burned. Do not try to use a knife, but take a coarse grater and grate the burned surfaces with it, and the burned part will be taken off without breaking or disfiguring the cake. In London. American women living in London have their own group, known as the Society of Women In London. The club has its clubhouse and through its various committees makes its influence felt in art, education and philanthropy. London's Actors' Church. Covent Garden is one of the sights of London, but few visitors go to see St. Paul's, Covent Garden, which has been called the "Actors' church," yet probably next to Westminster abbey and St. Paul's cathedral here is the church of greatest interest to the historian, for its famous dead number among them not only actors and dramatists, but famous people in every walk of life, Butler of "Hudibras" fame; Claude Dural, the highwayman; Lely, the painter; Macklin, the actor; Arne, the musician; Grinling Gibbons, the sculptor, are but representative of the celebrated folk buried in St. Paul's.—London Cor. New York Sun. Positive Proof. "Yes, indeed, my husband is a remarkable man." "I suppose nearly every woman has that opinion of her husband." "But I-am sure my husband is an extraordinary man. I told him this morning where something was in one of the closets and he found it."—Chicago Record-Herald. Mme. Florence Williams Moves Beauty Parlors. Mme. Florence E.

And he said "a quarter," which if paid weekly to an agent of the Ga., Mutual Insurance Company will bring forth consolation and comfort to distressed widows and orphans. And more still for each week it will pay for twenty-five cents worth of stimulation for Negro business, which promises to be the most powerful attraction for racial recognition upon which we have to depend, and it is with you alone to determine whether it shall be a glorious triumph or only a withered stick.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Pods should not be allowed to form and mature on the sweet pea vines if one wishes them to continue blossoming. In sections where the new seeding of alfalfa is liable to suffer from winter killing, it is a good idea not to cut the crop the first fall, but to allow it to stand as a catch for the snow. It is the thinned fruit and that from which the defective and wormy apples have been removed that will fetch the highest market price. There won't be so much of it, but what there is will fetch more money. An excellent fattening ration for the old hens and roosters, which have been reserved to supply the family table, is corn and sour or buttermilk. Rape, lettuce or lawn cuttings are good for furnishing the green food of the ration. Boiling a new rope in water will remove the stiffness which is often the cause of a good deal of inconvenience in practical use. After bringing it to a boiling heat, the rope should be stretched out straight and allowed to dry, when it will be soft and pliable. A variety of kale, bred at the Oregon agricultural college, has been found to be well suited to conditions in Maine, one farmer being so well pleased with it that he is furnishing small packages of it to his neighbors to start fields for them. For sheep, hogs and poultry it has been found unexcelled. A family living not far from the writer's home town will be just a little slow about borrowing a buggy another time. They did this the other Sunday morning and got nicely started to church when they suddenly found themselves infested with mites. The young ladies got to kirk in time for the benediction, but not for the doxology. One man, who has made a distinct success of farming, attributes this success largely to the fact that he has never sold any product of his farm in the raw. In other words, his products were on the hoof or in a butter tub. His head is level. He is making a success of farming because he has the right idea of the importance of maintaining soil fertility. A trucker living near Davenport, Ia. has an interesting plant. It consists of seven acres under glass devoted to the growing of cucumbers for the winter markets. Some of these cukes are fifteen to twenty inches long and fetch from 15 to 25 cents each. As a bycrop he grows sweet peas, of which he sells millions to other greenhouses during the winter. Thirty stands of bees are kept in this greenhouse for the purpose of fertilizing the cucumber bloom. If the two or three-year-old strawberry bed showed infestation of rust or of the leaf roller or other pests this season, it will be a good idea to mow the bed, plants and all, short with a sharp scythe, let dry, scatter evenly and burn on the bed. Besides this, it will be well to stir and cultivate the earth between the berry rows, which may be narrowed down to six or seven inches wide. The bed will look pretty sick after this treatment, but it will soon recover. --- Bee disease is easily scattered from one community to another and from one state to another by infected bees and, second hand equipment which is often bought because it can be got cheap. So general has this method of infection become that in several states laws have been passed making it a misdemeanor to ship diseased bees into the state, and also prohibiting common carriers from accepting shipments of bees for delivery at points within the state unless accompanied by a certificate of health signed by some authorized state or government inspector. This safeguard the beekeepers of every state are entitled to. It is not generally known that the United States government is engaged in raising foxes, but such is the case. The preserves are located on the Pribilof islands, Alaska. In 1912, 391 blue and white fox skins secured on these islands during the winter of 1910-11 netted the United States government $15,006 on the London market, while the 413 skins taken during the following winter, brought, $20,505 in this sale, also on the London market, twenty-eight of the best pals (gold for $3,675, or about $131 per skim). The secretary of commerce will endeavor to furnish under competitive bids live blue foxes from the Pribilof islands to those who desire choice breeding stock, and, his also announced, that he will lease twelve islands on the coast of Alaska to those who wish to engage in the business of raising the animal. 7. 21, 22. If the bed or row of sweet peas is to be kept producing blossoms up to frost time and later, the vines should be watered frequently until the fall rains. Filtering water by running it through pulverized brick or charcoal will make it clear, but does not remove or destroy disease germs that it may contain. Boiling water thus filtered will make it fit to use. When a seeding of alfalfa will yield six tous of hay per acre the second year, and this should be worth from $60 to $70, there ought not to be much further need of argument in favor of growing this legume. Some idea of the size of the business of growing early tomatoes is shown in the fact that in a single Texas town, which is the center of a tomato growing district, the bank deposits for a single day during the marketing season were $204,000. The English tenant farmer who works eighty acres or less usually hires from three to five men to do the work, while he puts in his time bossing the job, studying the markets, buying stock and selling produce. He provides the brains and his hired men furnish the muscle. Soft shelled eggs are a pretty sure sign that the hens are too fat or do not have sufficient lime in their ration from which to manufacture the shells. Fat producing foods should be discontinued, and the lime should be furnished in the form of plaster, crushed oyster shell or similar substance. The world's record for butter fat production for a period of one year is held by Banostine Belle DeKot, a Holstel cow. Her production for this period was 27,404 pounds of milk containing 1,053 pounds of butter fat. This would be equivalent to 13.18 pounds of butter on an 80 per-cent basis. In a somewhat elaborate description of a dairy cow a writer in a recent issue of an agricultural paper referred to her udder "as hanging down well between her hind legs." This is physiologically correct, but a somewhat superfluous reference in view of the fact that a cow's udder is never found anywhere else. Nebraska farmers should be in possession of Bulletin No. 138 on "Silo Construction in Nebraska," lately issued by the state experiment station. A popular edition of this contains only general information, while a limited edition gives the details of construction. The bulletin is free to residents of Nebraska upon application to Director E. A. Burnett, Lincoln, Neb. A tilling query: Does the air in an empty system of drainage tile rise from the lower to the upper end or does it descend from the upper to the lower? So good an authority as Professor Holden, the great corn expert, contends that the air moves down; a practical farmer we met the other day believes that it moves up. The writer is inclined to side with the farmer. What do you think about it? --- It is a matter of common knowledge that sheep do not drink a great deal of water, but few are aware of the fact that on the Nebo national forest reserve in Utah these animals go four and a half months—the entire grazing season—without water other than that which they get from the dew and the juices of the forage plants which they consume. Contrary to what might be supposed, the lambs raised under these conditions do extremely well, last year's crop averaging sixty-eight pounds-aplece on the Chicago market. Experts of the department of agriculture are of the opinion that the boll weevil is no longer a serious menace to the cotton industry. In spite of the prevalence of the weevil, Louisiana and Mississippi give promise of producing record crops, and this is attributed to the fact that the growers have followed the suggestions of the government experts, which include keeping the fields clear of rubbish, picking off the punctured bolls and burning them and exposing the growing plant to the sun as much as possible. One is simply taken in on a green goods or blue sky game when he pays a long price for seed potatoes alleged to be blight and bug proof. It is true that some varieties of potatoes are somewhat more resistant to blight than others, but they produce tubers of inferior quality, while it ought to be an apparent truth that bugs will eat the vines of one variety just as fast as those of another. Some vines, growing faster than others, have a better chance to outstrip the bugs, and that is all there can possibly be to the contention: These are trying days for the dairy cows and feeding cattle that are allowed to spend the heat of the day in pasture. Where it is not possible to shelter them where the darkness or screens will keep the files out, the animals should be protected by treating them with some kind of a fly repellant. There will not keep all the files from biting, but they will help. A good homemade repellant may be made by mixing one tablespoonful crude carbolic acid. This should be applied by means of cloths and rubbed over the parts of the body usually attacked by the files. One part zenolam (a standard disinfectant), four parts linseed oil and forty parts water also gives excellent results. This may be applied by either bristle or cloth. ming.

A concert was given at a German court in honor of some foreign prince. At its close the illustrious guest asked for a repetition of the first item on the program. The first piece was accordingly played over again, but the visitor failed to recognize it as the one he had liked best. Suddenly the musicians fell to tuning their instruments, during which process all the company stopped their ears, with the exception of the foreign monarch, who exclaimed in a rapture of delight, "That is my favorite pledge!" -Flegende Blatter. Lamb and the Scotchman. Charles Lamb said he never could impress a Scotchman with any new truth; that they all required it to be spelled and explained away in old equivalent and familiar words and phrases. He said he had spoken to a Scotchman who sat next to him at dinner of a healthy book. "Healthy, sir! Healthy, did you say?" "Yes 'healthy'" "I dinna comprehend. I have heard of a healthy man and of a healthy morning, but never of a healthy book." Americans Love Power. The American, the average American, I am sure, loves power, the ability to do, something, far, more earnestly than he loves mere living. He wants to be an officer or a director of something; he poet; anything you please for the sake of being it, not for the sake of living. — Theodore Dreiser in Century. Cause of His Anger. 'An angry advertiser rushed into the office of an English paper recently and shouted: "See here, our ad, ought to read, 'Thousands of patrons are wearing trousers of our make.'" The foreman of the composing room looked up and weakly said, "Well?" The frate advertiser threw down a copy of the paper containing the ad. The compositor had made it "matrons." Obedience. The famous Field family, Cyrus and his brothers and sisters, were brought up to obey. The father was a sergyman with $800 a year for nine children, and frugality and right living were absolutely necessary. Once a useful rat trap was missing. The father gave orders that when it was found it should, be brought directly to him. A few days afterward during service, when the sermon was in full swing, there was a clattering up the alse. It was two of the Field boys, carrying the lost rat trap. They gravely set it down before the pulpit. One of them said simply, "Father, here's your rat trap." Then they turned and went out. Four Bad Snakes. Snakes are much maligned creatures, although they are, for the most part, of considerable value to man, as they live almost entirely on insects and the small rodents that are injurious to crops. Of all the snakes that inhabit North America there are really only four that are dangerous. These are the copperhead, the moccasin, the raittlesnake and a little snake known as the coral snake. Of course there are a number of different species of the ratter (about thirty), but they inhabit different parts of the country and are all to be known from the fact that they "rattle" when approached. All the rest of our snakes are harmless. Our Tobacco. In America, up to the time of the Revolution, nearly all the tobacco was grown in Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas. New England began the commercial growing of tobacco about 1000; but, finding the industry unprofitable, it languished, and was finally discontinued. Early in the nineteenth century tobacco planting became the chief pursuit in Kentucky and Tennessee, and continued to be the main crop in Virginia and Maryland. Connecticut took, up the culture of the plant about 1830, and eastern Pennsylvania, central New York, the Miami valley, of Ohio and southern Wisconsin followed—Washington Star.

The claims of certain European and Asiatic countries to an acquaintance with the plant prior to the discovery of America by Columbus are not supported by accepted history nor satisfactorily demonstrated by the researches of the antiquarian or the archeologist. It is fairly well settled that tobacco is indigenous to the western hemisphere and that the aborigines practiced its cultivation and use from remotest times and spread their knowledge to the rest of the world.—Washington Star. The Queer Parson Bird. A queer bird is the poe honey enter of New Zealand. Its throat is adorned with small white feathers, which, from their resemblance to clerical bands, have gained, for it the name "parson bird." Its metallic green plumage, with bronze and purplish reflections, is very beautiful. Its long and rather slender beak is curved. It has rather large feet, and the length of its tail is considerable. Its food consists of berries, insects and honey. It has an extensile tongue, the tip of which is forked and, being covered with fibers, forms a kind of brush, most useful to the parson bird in gathering its food. It is a good songster and mimic.

Pineapple chunks and roast beef as a dinner dish sounds like a return to 'the habits of our forefathers, who always wanted something sweet with their meat. Sir Walter Besant tells us how in Tudor days most people's teeth were black on account of their diet.

It can easily be made at home with two yards of malines. Simply divide three-quarters of a yard of malines in three pieces, cutting lengthwise and braid it as you would hair. Then take the yard and a quarter which you have left and divide it into five pieces, cutting across the material, which gives you five pieces of malines a quarter yard each. With these five pieces form an alget as pictured and twist part of the braided portion to form a loop to hide the alget joining. Legend About Names There is a charming legend about the name Margaret, and all its variations, from Meg to Dolly, share it. Margaret is of Persian origin, and means child of light or pearl. The Persian legend says that oysters are moon worshipers and that each night they come up from the bed of the deep sea to open their shells and worship their diety. Each faithful oyster that opens its shell in worship is rewarded for its belief, for the moon deposits in it a drop of dew—translucent, shimmering in light, and showing wondrous colors—which the moonbeams turn into a pearl. Murwari is the old Persian name; and through the Greek adaptation, Margarites, it developed into the name it is today. Fan Trimming to Be Popular.

His Income. There was a certain well known singer in London many years ago who in the pride of his heart greatly exaggerated to the tax collector his own assessment. "The fact is," he afterward confessed to the commissioners, "I have not 1,000 pence of certain income." "But are you not stage manager to the opera house?" "Yes, but there is no salary attached to it." "But you teach?" "Yes, but I have no pupils." "Then you are a concert singer?" "True, but I have no engagements." "At all events you have a very good salary at Drury Lane?" "A very good one, but then it's never paid." Under these circumstances the tax was remitted. Edible Woods Analysis of our edible weeds shows that they possess powerful medicinal qualities. The dandelion, for example, is replete with tonic salts and is aperient, besides being a natural liver medicine; the milkweed is a perfect tonic for the kidneys, and a general cleanser of the system; the common yarrow is a good spring tonic for children; while red clover is one of the richest of all nitrogenous plants, and nitrogen is one of the most strengthening elements. Farm and Fireside. Whiskers. "Whiskers" was a word formerly used to designate the hair on the upper lip. Scott more than once speaks of "whiskers on the upper lip," and so does Defofo in "Robinson Crusoe." Johnson defined a "whisker" as "the hair growing on the upper lip or cheek unshaven, a mustachlo." It seems to have taken its name from a fancied resemblance to a small brush, to "whisk" properly meaning to sweep, and a "whisker" having been a particular kind of feather brush; also, in the slang of a former time, a switch or rod. In the seventeenth century a "whisker" signified, among other things, a brazen lip, a "whopper." The First Candlestick The first candlestick was a boy. He sat in the corner of a Scottish kitchen holding a piece of fir candle, in his hands, from time to time cutting and trimming it to make it burn brightly. The fir candle was a length of wood cut from a kind of fir tree which is found embedded in the peat. This kind of candle is still used in some parts of Scotland. It usually fell to the lot of the "herd ladders" to act the part of candlestick; but should a beggar ask for a night's lodging he was expected to relieve the "herd laddle" of his duty. A candlestick is still called in Aberdeenshire a "pair man," or "poor man"—Child's Hour. Persian Legend About Goats In Persia there is a legend regarding the goat, which tells us that the goat, without fault of her own, excited the prejudice of mankind until her life was unbearable. The powers then made it possible for her to find sustenance on inaccessible mountain tops where man could not molest her, and she was given the power to find by instinct the leaf of healing, so that she would never become ill. And after centuries of isolation she was to return and live again among the haunts of men, to be a "blessed" animal and, to be indispensable to his needs, alone having power to save him from many troubles.—Farm and Fireside.

The first factor cannot be eliminated during the summer months, but one can reduce the last two named to a minimum. While a crop of millet is considered by some as harder on the land because other crops do not do so well after it, it really takes from the soil only about the same amount of fertilizing elements as a crop of wheat, or corn. Wild blackberries attain their greatest perfection in low shaded wood lots where there is abundant moisture in the soil. This should give a suggestion as to the best conditions for growing both blackberries and raspberries commercially. Every housewife has opportunity to reduce the high cost of living or the cost of high living by making more general use of the cheaper cuts of meats, which are just as nutritious, pound for pound, as the higher priced cuts, and, if skillfully prepared, are nearly as toothsome. There is good money in raising little chicks for the early markets in the large cities, if one is fixed for it and understands the essentials of success. If the chicks are kept growing from the shell they will weigh from a pound and three-quarters to two pounds at eight weeks old and will fetch from 30 to 40 cents a pound. A simple method of testing the vitality of seeds like those of eggplants, tomatoes, etc., is to put them in a weak brine. The seeds that swim on the surface are light and should not be used. The density of the solution, varying with the amount of salt in it, will regulate the number of shriveled or light seeds that will be rejected. Before the farmer or gardener pays an outlandish price for fancy varieties of nursery stock vines or trees for which great claims are made he would do well to consult some person of experience in his locality or drop a card of inquiry to the director of his state experiment station for the purpose of ascertaining the value of the variety of plants offered for sale. The department of horticulture of the Panama-Pacific exposition offers a cup for the finest unnamed new rose never before exhibited. Competition is open to all. The exposition will be opened Feb. 20, 1915, and the mildness of the climate will make it possible to have the horticultural exhibits growing in the ground for at least seven months before the opening date. It is a fortunate thing that the theoretical calculations of the entomologists do not pan out in practice. For instance, they estimate that if the young of each of the twenty or more generations of the corn root louse reproduced on an average forty young the last generation in the season would contain 319,000,000,000 for each louse of the first generation in the spring. If there is any man in the world that ought to appreciate a bathtub with hot and cold water on tap, it is the farmer who has to bear the heat of the sun and come in contact with dust and dirt of tilled land and haying and harvest fields during the busy summer season. A souse of this kind at the close of the day, with pure soap and finishing with a rough towel makes a night's rest healthful and refreshing. The writer chronicles with much regret that the martins have disappeared from the village in which he makes his home. Two or three pairs came back to their old haunts at the accustomed time, but they seem to have become discouraged by the omnipresent English sparrow and event elsewhere. Being, as they are, one of the most cheery and sociable as well as most valuable insect destroyers we have, the decrease in the number of martins from year to year, and their disappearance from any locality, is a distinct loss. Professor Forbes of the University of Illinois, who has done a lot of investigating into the work of ants in cornfields, has made a number of experiments, which seem to show that oil of tansy has a strongly-repellant effect upon ants. As a method of application he recommends treating bone-meal or any other powdered fertilizer with the oil of tansy, and then dropping a small quantity of the mixture on or near each hill. It is assumed in this suggestion that a little fertilizer won't do average corn land any harm, and the assumption is doubtless well founded. All too many men who are well fixed financially allow themselves to become little short of object slaves to their work. This is partly due to habit, formed at a time in their lives when there may have been need for rigid economy and partly to a stinginess and closeness into which such economy deteriorated. Rich folks and poor folks are in the nature of things going to be a long time-dead. It follows from this that it is not sensible for one to scrimp and hoard when it is not necessary and when at best the property one accumulates is likely to be spent with a lavish hand or even squandered by one's heirs-at-law. One who is in a position to do so should take a day off—half a dozen of them if the occasion offers—for the purpose of getting and keeping out of a detestable rut that warps and wozens the best in human life. Along with this, good sense would seem to suggest the expenditure of the money necessary to provide the comforts and privileges for oneself and family that give so far toward making life worth living.

Prizes were offered by business men, and fifty-two boys entered the contest. The average yield of the tracts tended by these boys was ninety-one bushels per acre. What these boys did is the more deserving of credit when it is known that the highest average yield in this same county for any year has been twenty-seven bushels per acre, while the average for the state is only twenty-six bushels per acre. In writing of this contest a contributor to Farm and Fireside makes the following interesting reference: "At a meeting of the boys early in the spring I turned to an old gentleman sitting nearby at the conclusion of an address by one of Uncle Sam's demonstration agents and asked, 'What do you think of it?' referring to the expert's explanation of the new method of raising corn. 'Sounds fine,' he replied, 'and looks good on paper, but it won't work out on the farm. I've been raising corn all my life, and I think I know a thing or two about farming. However, if my boy wants to try it he can have any piece of ground I've got, and I'll help him, for I want him to have a chance at everything good that comes along. If he raises more corn on one acre than I do on five I'll admit that my father, grandfather and I were all wrong and begin farming the boy's way.'

Three billion, or 1,500,000 tons, of bananas were consumed in the United States last year, and most of this vast quantity was produced on the fertile river bottoms of Central America and in Cuba, Jamaica and other West Indian islands. Originally the banana grew wild and possessed seeds and was much smaller than the fruit of a modern plantation. The banana tree, so called, which often grows to a height of thirty to forty feet, is really not a tree at all, but a plant, which dles down to the roots every year. Its nearest relative familiar in America is the canna. Banana plantations usually comprise 3,000 acres or more, and bringing one up to the point of bearing a carload of fruit requires an outlay of from $500,000 to $800,000. When the tract for the banana plantation is cleared of native timber the pieces of banana root, each containing an "eye," are planted from fifteen to twenty feet apart each way. An old plant usually furnishes three eyes. The plant bears in from ten to twelve months after planting. The cutting of the bunches goes on throughout the year, so that the harvesting is a continuous operation. As soon as the fruit is cut it is transported to the coaat and put aboard vessels equipped with refrigerators and carried to its destination. Arrive Effective April 27, 1913 Depart 3 20 pm.....

The writer has in mind a type of farmer of which there are a few in every community. Although he has a large family he does not halt a bit at the expense involved in providing for them wholesome thing in the way of opportunity for entertainment that comes to hand. A big family car makes it possible for all to come to town and lecture and Chautauqua courses are generously patronized. He takes a liberal attitude toward things that have in view the public welfare, and in an all round way he is an asset in the community. He raises corn and hogs and steers, but he is not so interested in the dollars to be got from these that he forgets that his good wife and his boys and girls have longings and needs which are entitled to attention. Every community has this type, but it is one in which there should be an increase. Funeral Directors and Embalmers Finest line of Coffins, Caskets and Robes. White and black Burial cars.

It beats all how many supposedly honest and respectable folk fall down wretchedly when it comes to working off on their local groceryman eggs that are added or rotten, or are in all stages of incubation. These same folks would kick up the biggest kind of a fuss if these same merchants sold them sugar that had sand in it or prunes or oatmeal that were wormy, and yet they deem it entirely permissible to work off eggs that they know are worthless on these same grocers. The further strange feature about this business is that these same folks, many of whom own farms worth $30,000 to $40,000 and have money in the bank, run the risk of the heavy fines and humiliation before the public, as the marketing of such eggs is prohibited by law in most of the states. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit And Commission Merchant 303 ST. JULIAN WEST AND 23 JEFFERSON STREET FINE DISPLAY OF ALL THE LATEST STYLES LOSSES ON COTTON. It is estimated by those who have made a study of the subject that the cotton growers of American loose $75,000,000 a year through following bad methods of baling and marketing. This is $5 per bale on the annual output of 15,000,000 bales. A systematic effort is being made by the American Cotton Growers' association to stop this loss, particularly along the line of providing the small grower with some means of credit on his warehouse receipts which will enable him to keep his crop in storage beyond the time of the temporary decline in the cotton market which usually accompanies the marketing of a big crop.
