Returning Monday night from excursion to Daufuskie Island : gine steamer “Attaquin, Mrs. Josephine Creek who resided on Hull street near East Broad, lost her balance while on the gang plank leading from the Attaquin tothe steamer Pilot, which was moored at her dock at the foot of Abercorn street, and was drowned in the Savannah river. The unfortunate uccident, which happened 2 little before midnight, occurred just-as the excursionists were disembarking from the boat which had carried them on the day’s outing to Dauftskie. The steamer Attaquin on reaching the docks and finding the Pilot Boy moored there-tied up to the latter, thereby forcing her passengers to cross a gang plank leading to the Pilot Boy before they could reach the wharf. It was while crossing this plank that Mrs. Creek, who was among the last to leave the steamer, fell overboard and was drowned. . The ill-fated woman was observ- ed by a man who was near her to trip, andjhe made aneffort to catch her, but‘was unsuccessful. Imme- diately the cry, ‘‘Woman over- board,”’ went up and the men who were on'the boat sought to rescue her, but on account of the nearness of the two boats to each other she was not seen to rise after falling overboard and all efforts to save her were in vain. * The river was dragged for the body, but it was notrecovered un- til Wednesday about noon when it “rose,to the surface at practically the same spot where the unfortu- nate woman fell overboard. The body was turned over to one of the eolored undertakers and the funeral took place Wednesday af. ternoon. WH2TE WOMAN SEBK CLEM. ENCY., Save Condemned Negro. Atlanta, Sept. 1.—Attorney R. G. Dickerson, of Homerville, ap- peared before the Prison Commis- sion to-day and made a strong ap- peal for commutation of the sen- tence of Lige Lane, a Clinch coun- ty Negro from death, to life impris- onment. Lane was convicted of criminal assault upon a white wo- man. The lawyer declared there were grave doubts as to Lane’s guilt, and that there was a strong probability of mistaken identifica- tion on the part of the woman. The most unusual feature of the plea for commutation was the fil- ing of a petition in behalf of the Negro signed by 95 per cent of the white women of Homerville, urgitg that clemency be granted. There is no record of a similar appeal within the history of the state. Equal Rights Sunday The National Independent Po- litical League requests that ev- ery clergyman in the United States observe Sunday. Septem- ber 14th, 1918, as Equal Rights’ Sunday, and have special prayers and sermons for equal rights for those denied them, the Colored Americans, denied even by the Federal Government itself. Pe- tition Almighty God and appeal to the people against this sin, Rey. Byron Gunner, president. Whi. Trotter, secretary, E¥ery Colored church, every literary association, every lodge, every Equal Right suciety in the United States is urged to send a delegate to the sixth annual mecting of the National Inde- pendent Political League at Bos. ton, Mass,, September 15-17, 1913, also citizens of every city.

Never- theless the work has ‘been dis- patched with much ‘rapidity and that too inspite of severil changes which have been znade'tf the orig- inal plan. . The few changes that have been made in the plans will greatly in- crease the seating capacity of the new house and will also allow the spectators a better view of the stage. While it was planned to haye the capacity of the house about one thousand, yet with the changes im the balcony which have heen effected in the plans, about two hundred additional will find accomodations, + Itis the desire of the manage- ment that the new P2kin shall be one of the most conveniently ap- pointed , theatres in the country, owned ahd operated by Negroes and no expense is being spared in its construction. The house will have all the latest improvements and will be one of the most beau- tiful theatres owned by Negroes. As has been states before in ‘The Tribune the site of the old house will be a beautiful lobby, on one side of which will be an at- tractive cigar stand and on the other side an up-to-date soda foun- tain. By means of this lobby, which will extend back from West Broad street to the present orches- tra pit, the management of the house will be afforded sufficient space to accommodate the crowds that now congregate on the side walk in front of the theatre wait. ing for admission to the second nightly performance.

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 23.— Because a jury: today réported a mistrial after two days in the case of Butler Searcy, a prominent Butler county planter, accused of holding Wash Gardner, a Negro, jn peonage, Federal Judge Wil- liam B, Sheppard, of Pensacola, presiding temporarily over the federal court here, reprimanded the jury in mostsensational terms. “This is a travesty on justice,” he declared. “Ido not see how apy intelligent man, hearing the evidence as it was presented, could agree to such a verdict,” | Hehinted broadly that the mem- bers of the jury had carried their prejudices and petty personal differences into the jury room with them. This he said in substance, was despite the oath they had taken andthe sacred obligations to which they subjected themselves. “While we hear much’ of the corrupt judiciary on every hand,” he said, “‘do you not think it be- hooves every juryman to consider any case brought before him in an impartial light and to render his verdict to the best of his_ability; exercising the functions God gave him to their fullest power? I Se that had I given you my opinion of the case it would _have had little weight on you. I will give it to younow. “This man is guilty of peonage. Deep down in your hearts you are certain of this fact, but you bring in a verdict to the effect that you agree todisagiee.” After hearing Judge Sheppard’s scathing re- buke, Searcy the defendant arose voluntarily and pleaded guilty to E charge, despite the fact. that two jaries heretofore had failed to reach a verdict in his case. He was sentenced to three months in the Montgomery jail. St. Stephen’s Church Calls Dr, Junius L. Taylonof Newbern The announcement has been made that the-Reverend Junius L. Taylor, D.D., of Newbern, North Carolina, has‘accepted the call ex- tended to him by the vestry ut St. Stephen’s parish, this city. He will enter upon his duties as rector of that’ parish on October first. ‘Ehis announcement was made to the congregation by the vestry, through the Senior Warden Mr. L. M. Pollard at the close of the even- ing service, Sunday August, 24th, When the Rev. Dr. Bright re- signed and left last June, it was felt that not only St. Stephen’s people but the entire community had suffered a severe loss. Men of the sort of calibre adapted to take his place are not easily wrest- ed from the spheres of construct- ive endeavor in which they are to be found. . It was, therefore, felt that the parish might ercounter some dif- ficulty insecuring a suitable rector at an early date; and St. Stephen’s isto be congratulated, that this problem has met with so early and happy solution, To the’ vestry- men fell the task of finding a suit- able man. And their success has demonstrated their fitness for’ the work. Being staunch friends and supporters of the former rector, as well as ardent Jovers of their church; they set themselves with characteristic asiduity to the per- formance of their duty with deter- mination to bring the best talent available to the perpetuation of the work of the parish. They prac- tically scoured the country and by a careful process of elimination hit upon Dr. Taylor, to thesatisfaction |} of the bishop, vestry and congre- |gation. A call was therefore ex- {tended to that reverend gentleman, in response to which Dr. Taylor yisited the city on the 3d ult., and preached at both morning and eve: ning services in St. Stephen’s |church. His stay was short, last ling only two or three days, during which time he was the guest o! {Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Deveaux on Park avenue.- He was, however, so charmed and well impressed | during his stay that he succumbed to the lure ef Savannah and decid- ed to accept the call which had been extended to him by S&t. | Stepben’s church. " Newbern suffers a great loss to the commensurate gain of Savan- nah; for Dr. Taylor is reputed to be one of the strongest men in the Episcopal church. He is a man of splendid personality and deep spirituality, a powerful speaker and an indefatigable worker. He has. just within the past year com- pleted in‘ Newbern a magnificent brick church, which is probably the finest that the Colored Episco- polians now havein the south. And it should be further added, to his credit, that he will leave it practic- ally without debt. The people of Newbern are ofcourse making an heroic effort to keep him. We commiserate the good people there, but then—Savannah is Savannah. We want the best men here and we know with what cards to draw them and to bind them to us and to our attractive city. All things considered, it may be said that St. Stephen’s deserves such aman as Dr, Taylor as its rector; Dr. Bright deserves such a successor so that his good work may not languish; and Dr. Taylor |deserves such a congregation in Jorder that he may have material wherewith to work out even great- '|triumphs in the future. St. Stephen's stands unusually well in the Episcopal body. A compar- tively small cengregation, yet en- tirely self supporting and without debt. The coming of Dr. Taylor will be an acqusition to our city which will draw forth our sincere congratulations to our fellow christians of St Stephen’s anc felicitour hearty ‘‘Welcome!” t ; Death. Mr. RufusJenkins after an ill- ness of five months died-on Aug- ust 22, at his late residence 170 East Boundary street and was buried the following Sunday af- ternoon from the Second Baptist church, He was a member ol the Eureka club, which attended the funeral in a body. He is survived by a wife, Mre. Florine Jenkins, and two sons, Masters Walter and Rufus Jenkins. Labor Day Widely Observed LACK OF PARADE CAUSED MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT Amusement Parks Crowded— Streets Tnronged Until Late At Night—Many Excursions ists in City forthe Day ‘There was but one feature lack- ing on last Monday to make the day one of the best Labor Day celebrations in the history of the city and that was the absence of the, usual parade by the labor unions of the city. . To even, the casual observer there were unmistakable signs'on every side that the day was being widely celebrated by all, classes of citizens and that it would go down in the annals of the city as being one of the most enjoyable since the inauguration of the Labor Day movement in Chicago years ago. All the ordinary bustle and ac- tivity which are usually manifest- ed on the first businéss day of the week were lacking and life for the most part was being taken easily by the great majority of the laboring classes. There were but few business houses open in the morning, but these closed their doors about mid-day in order that their em- ployees might enjoy at least a portion of the day which is so generally observed the country over as that which belongs tothe laboring man and on which he.is supposed to be free from work. Regardless of the fact that notice had been given that there would be no parade by the vari- ous labor unions, the disappoint- ment which was caused by the omission of this the greatest of the day’s celebration was appar- ent on all sides, It really seemed that the people who were prominading the streets could not conceive of a Iabor day without a parade, and many were the ex- pressions of regret at the failure of the laboring men to turn out. The resorts about the city all did a record breaking business and and the roads leading to them seemed alive with all sorts of vehicles. The theatres, too, also did a rushing business and were able to begin the week’s work with good financial results., Among those to enjoy the day were hundreds of excursionists from points near the city and they were very geherous in their words of praise for the good times that are to be had in this city. Mr. P. M. Thompson Takes Charge of Local Standard S Life Business During the week, Mr. Pierce M. Thompson arrived in_the city from Atlanta and took charge of the loeal business of the Standard Life Insurance Company. Mr. Thompson is a Savannahian by birth and his many friends here will be’pleased to have him among them again. Prior to returning home Mr. Thompson was em- ployed by the North Carolina Provident Association as special man and is well qualified for tHe position which he now holds. Mr. Thompson has taken offices in The Tribune Building. : ee = —_____ President Jacksonville Negro Business League Visits City Mr. W. L. Girrideau, presi- dent of the Negro Business Lea- gue of Jacksonville, Fla., was in the city this week for a few days. Mr. Girrideau is one of the lead- ing business men of Jacksonville, is treasurer of the Union Invest- ment company and also one of the largest Negro property owners of that city. While in the city he was present at a special meet- ing of the Emancipation commit- tee of the local Negro basiness league and spoke in most glowing terms of his visit to the Philadel- phia meeting and also told of the work of the league in his own city. Mr. Girrideau also owns several valuable pieces of real estate in Massachusetts. On Thursday morning Mr. Girrideau was'taken for an automobile ride by Mr. G. H. Bowen and shown the many places of interest in and round the city. Services were very good last Sunday. The pastor, Rev W. V. Daughtry, preached at 11 a.m. from Heb. 11:16, subject "Desire of a better country." At 9:30 "The Unknown God" was his subject, from Act 17:23. To morrow promises to be a great day at Asbury.

Devotional service was conducted by Dr. I. A. Townsley. After having addressed the throne of Grace the 35th Psalter was read. The topic of the day was a paper read by Dr. R. H. Singleton, subject, "Christian Religion and Civic Righteousness." After some lengthy discussion the union tendered the writer a rising vote of thanks. The union will take notice that next Tuesday will be sermonic report. Monumental Church. Two able sermons were delivered by the pastor, Dr. L. A. Townsley, last Sunday. In the morning he preached from Ecclesiastes 2:18 and at night from Genesis 47:16. All who heard him felt lifted up. The choir was at its best. There was one accession, in fact there are accessions at very nearly every services. The Sunday school in the morning at 9:30 is improving in every way, with Mr. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., as superintendent. This department of the church has been growing ever since the change from afternoon to morning, all under the direction of Dr. L. A. Townsley. The trustees realized quite a nice sum by a free-will offering. All indications point to the doctor going to conference with flying colors, that is with more dollar money, free of debt, and with a report to startle the entire connection. Visitors are always welcome. St. Philip Church Sunday was an ideal day for church goers. Our members and friends took advantage and turned out at each service. Rev.

Text of the Lesson, Ex. xx, 1-11. Memory verses, 1-11—Golden Text, Luke x, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. "And God spake all these words." Sometimes when those whom we call heathen hear of the true God who made heaven and earth, and that He is a God of Love and sent His Son to die for sinners, and that there is a book which tells what He said and did, they spare neither time nor money that they may possess such a book. In contrast to this, how little do many in so called Christian lands appreciate the word of God or give any heed to such words as these: "The mighty God, even the Lord hath spoken." "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken." "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak, and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth." "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son" (Ps. 1, 1; Isa. 1, 2; Deut. xxxl. 1; Heb. 1, 1). Repeating these words of the Ten Commandments in Deut. v, Moses said concerning them: "These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness with a great voice, and He added no more. And He wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me" (Deut. v, 22). "The tables were written on both their sides, * * * and the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables." "Tables of stone written with the finger of God" (Ex. xxxil, 15, 16; xxxl, 18). See also Deut. 1x, 10; x, 4. There never were tables like these nor writing like this, and as He spoke to and wrote for Hebrew people it must have been in the Hebrew language, the only language of which we have any record as being spoken from heaven to man (Acts xxvi, 14). He gave as a reason for the ten words who He is and what He had done, "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." Note two of the many repetitions of this great saying and His great longing that they would give heed to Him that He might do all that was in His heart for them (Deut. v. 6, 29; Ps. lxxl. 10-16). Note in the ten words the fourfold repetition of "the Lord thy God" (verses 5, 7, 10, 12). They suggest at least this—Jehovah, thy Redeemer, who is also thy Creator. We have for our meditation in this lesson the first four of the ten words or commandments, and they are summarized by our Lord in these words in His reply to the lawyer: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" (Matt. xxl. 37). We all need to confess, "O Lord our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us" (Isa. xvii, 12). The rich young ruler who thought that he had kept all the commandments from his youth up was proved guilty of breaking the first one when he preferred his great possessions to eternal life (Matt. xix, 21, 22). It is not necessary to bow down to the work of God's hands to break the first of the commandments, for if anything, howevew harmful it may be, occupies our hearts more than our Creator Redeemer we are guilty, and breaking one breaks all, according to Jas. ii, 10. The worship of sun, moon or stars or the likeness of anything in heaven or earth is forbidden by the second command. See the matter more fully stated in Deut. iv, 15-19. This command, like the others, may be broken by our thoughts, for God sees the pictures we hang up and bow down to in the chambers of our imagery (Czek. vill, 12), and He desires for our good that He should be supreme even in the imagination of our thoughts, all being brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (II Cor. x, 5). He is called a jealous God just seven times (Ex. xx, 5; xxxiv, 14; Deut. iv, 25; v, 9; vl, 15; Josh. xxiv, 15; Nah, 1, 2), and some light is given upon it by Ish. xiii, 8. "I am Jehovah—that is My name—and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images." He destroys us all for Himself that He may fully reveal Himself to us and through us. As to not taking His name in vain, the positive form is, "Hallowed be Thy name," and all that tends to erupt our name instead of His or that say? by word or act, "Let us make us a name" (Gen. xl, 4), breaks this command. The fourth command concerns the Sabbath day and takes us back to Gen. II, 1-3, and onward to the rest of the kingdom, when the Lord alone shall be exalted and His name great among all nations, from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same (Isa.

Until that time He has set apart one day in seven as a special opportunity for Him to reveal Himself to us that we may become increasingly occupied with Him and filled with His fullness of peace and joy. The great adversary is always at work seeking to pervert Scripture and bring into bondage and has led many to believe that to honor the first day of the week, on which our Lord rose from the dead, is all wrong.

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.

"I suppose old Cashman has more money that he knows what to do with?" "Yes, but his wife and daughters are ready to supply the needed information." How They Love Each Other. "Yes," said Miss Passay, "he's an awfully inquisitive bore. He was trying to find out my age the other day, so I just up and told him I was fifty. That settled him." "Well," replied Miss Pepprey, "I guess it is best to be perfectly frank with a fellow like that"—Philadelphia Press. Sterne's Wig. Wigs of great literary men are cherished by some hero worshipers, and it is on record that the wig which Sterne wore while writing "Tristram Shandy" was sold soon after his death for $1,000. Willing to Give His Opinion. "We shall be delighted," said a French journalist, interviewing George Bernard Shaw, "to know your opinion on the modern French literature and drama." "I dare say you would," was the reply. "My terms for a comprehensive answer to this modest question are 1,000,000 francs." So far as we know, the French interviewer never cared to give such a sum, even in exchange for Mr. Bernard Shaw's literary opinion.—T. P.'s London Weekly. YOUR APPOINTED WORK. I am glad to think I am not bound to make the world go round, But only to discover and to do. With cheerful heart, the work that God appoints. —Jean Ingelow. Unlike diamonds, emeralds, rubles, sapphires, etc., opals have no standard from which the value may be accurately fixed. Every stone is individual and depends on its own beauty for its worth.

The most common name for a place in England is Newton, which occurs no fewer than seventy-two times. Right Up to Date. "Is the young man all right who is going to marry your daughter?" "I have every reason to believe so. He has been audited by the audit company, assayed by the local chemist, tested by the state bacteriologist, certified by the genealogist and appraised by the medical and surgical staff of the county hospital."—Life. Nothing Like Knowing Why. The sweet young thing was being shown through the Baldwin locomotive works. "What is that thing?" she asked, pointing with her dainty parasol. "That," answered the guide, "is an engine boiler." She was an up to date young lady and at once became interested. "And why do they boil engines?" she inquired again. "To make the engine tender," politely replied the resourceful guide.—Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. Lots of Synonyms. "In the lexicon of youth there is no such word as 'fail,'" observed the philosopher. "But the synonyms it contains appear to be without number," suggested the cynic.—Buffalo Express. Fable of the Vegetable Lamb. Fable of the Vegetable Lamb. When cotton first came to Europe to make its principal centre in Lancashire it was the subject of the qualit and wonderful fable of the "Vegetable Lamb." The fluffy white fibers of the bursting cotton pod so resembled sheep's wool that travelers reported that in Tartary there grew a shrub the fruit or boll of, which contained "withlnno a lyttle Beaste in Flesche, in Bone and Bloode, as though it were a lyttle lambe with outer wool." After the lamb had been eaten the wool was made into cloth, continued this story, which is the earliest European account of the manufacture of cotton.—London Standard. A Mollified Subject. Nollekens, the sculptor, was a man of pretty wit and of neat resource in compliment. He had at one time for a sitter a woman of great beauty, but of an extremely nervous and impatient temperament. During her sittings she would constantly change her position, and with each shift of posture her expression changed. At last the sculptor's patience gave way. "Madam," he cried, "of what avail is your beauty if you will not sit still till I have reflected it in my model?" The sitter smiled with gratified vanity and was as motionless as a lay figure during the remainder of her sittings.—St. Louis Republic. E HAVE T An Effective-Scarecrow. A scarecrow used by a farmer in the north of England not only scared every crow that saw it, but one crow was so frightened that he brought back the corn he had carried to his nest three days before.—London Tit-Bits. The Nearest Approach. An English tourist visited Arran and being a keen disciple of Izaak Walton was arranging to have a day's good sport. Being told that the cleg, or horsefly, would suit his purpose admirably for a lure, he addressed himself to Christy, the highland servant girl, "I say, my girl, can you get me some horsefiles?" Christy looked stupid, and he repeated his question. Finding that she did not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed: "Why, girl, did you never see a horsefly?" "Naa, sir," said the girl, "but a wanse-saw a coo jump ower a preshipce." Crime and Light. It may seem strange, says a London paper, that murders could possibly increase the dividends of gas companies, but that happened at the time of the notorious "Jack the Ripper" crimes. It would be no exaggeration to say that the whole east end of London went in fear of death. These ghastly murders were all committed in dark spots, like unlit doorways, and the immediate result was that people used much more gas. The sale of candles and paraffin oil, too, went up amazingly all over the east of London. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp; add one pint water to one pound potato. Pass this liquor through a fine sieve and cloth. Let it remain in a vessel until the fine white starch settles to the bottom, then pour off the clear liquor, which is to be used for cleaning. For white silk add a little borax. For dresses and waists dip a sponge in the liquor and apply it until dirt is removed. Rinse in tepid water and iron on wrong side. Opera and party dresses and white cashmere will clean beautifully by this process.—Los Angeles Times. Rainfall and Earthquakes. Professor Omori points out an apparent relationship between the frequency of earthquakes at Tokyo and the amount of rainfall and snowfall in northwestern Japan. Professor Omori does not, however, attempt to explain it. The periods when earthquakes are infrequent (but severe) coincide in a striking manner with those when rainfall is deficient at Nilgata and Akita, while the periods of frequent (but not violent) shocks coincide with excessive rainfall at those places.

How he came to lose the other in childhood is told by a writer: "It appears that Gambetta had such a dislike to going to school that he said to his father that unless he were taken from school he would poke one of his eyes out. His father insisted on his remaining on at school, whereupon Gambetta did as he had threatened to do, and on his father remonstrating with him he said that if his father sent, him back again to school he would poke the other eye out. Such a determined character was he that his father had finally to give way to him." Boy Labor In Belgium.

Saturday, September 6th, 1913 Lovers of the race and its achievements throughout the country were gratified during the present week to note the great success which has come to Howard P. Drew, the crack sprinter of the Springfield, Massachusetts High School. By equalling the world's record for a 100 yard dash Drew has added new lustre to his already brilliant career and at the same time placed the Negro on a par with the greatest short distant sprinters of the world. The Tribune indeed rejoices with the rest of us over the superb achievement of this Massachusetts lad on the athletic field, and wish for him a long and illustrious career. At the same time, we trust that his common sense, already evinced on many occasions, will hold him in good stead and thus prevent his doing anything that will dim in the least the great brilliancy of his shining career. By far one of the most prominent organizations among our people of the city at this time, is the local branch of the National Negro Business League. Organized only a few months ago, the league has already made its influence felt in the community. Never before have we witnessed such a hearty cooperative spirit among our business men as has been shown since the organization of the local league. This is indeed as it should be. As has been often said in our columns, if we ever expect to make any marked progress as a people then we must stick together. We must both enlist and retain each others support. This can only be done by each of us subjugating all petty differences and disputes to the good of the whole people. The gentlemen comprising the business league stand foremost in the business and professional life of our community. Each of them has made a success at their financial ventures individually. There is no reason whatever why they should not succeed collectively. If we are able to read the signs correctly, we predict a long and successful career for the local branch of the National Negro Business League. May our prediction hold good in every sense of the word. In a few more days, the portals that load to the grounds and campuses of our schools and colleges will be opened and an army of school children, young and old, seekers after truths, will be found wending its way to the school houses. Joy and laughter will ring from the streets and roadways of every town and hamlet as our young hopefuls make their journey along them to their various school homes where they are to acquaint themselves with the realities of life and so equip themselves as to be able to meet and combat with them successfully. As the time approaches for the opening of the schools, each parent, whose guardianship makes it incumbent upon him to provide for the education of his child, should see to it that all necessary arrangements are being made by him to admit of his child entering school on the opening day and remaining therein throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that much ground is lost by the child whenever he does not enter school on the opening day and thereby fails to get the foundational instruction in his various new subjects. The ground lost in this way is indeed hard to recover, if at all. It is the duty of the parent therefore to see to it that he does not handicap his child by allowing other children to get a start on him. In this age when the complexities of the American civilization is the greatest and the standard of American citizenship the highest in the history of the nation, it can be seen readily how necessary it is to make each school day for the child count. This can only be done when the child is regular, practical and faithful to his school duties. Keeping him away from school during any part of the school year for reasons other than Providential, will make it impossible for him to excel in the school virtues above enumerated. Far should it be from any parent to retard the intellectual growth and development of his young one. On the contrary, he should bend every energy and every nerve of his to stimulate the mental activity and development of him. As has been stated before, the time is near at hand when all of the schools will swing wide their doors for the reception of their charges. As this time approaches, let us again urge our parents with all of the emphasis at our command to make preparation to have their children ready for the schools when the opening day comes. Of the many illuminating statements made by the distinguished lawyers gathered at the recent annual meeting of the American Bar Association held at Montreal, Canada, none had greater significance or came in for more wide spread discussion than the statement of Viscount Haldane. Lord High Chancellor of England, that it wasn't so much the fear of punishment, by the courts as the fear of the public opinion, that restrained men from becoming violators of the law. It indeed requires no unusual stretch of thought for one to appreciate the truthfulness of Viscount Haldane's statement. From time immemorial, the conduct of men has been largely shaped and guided by public opinion. Especially is this true of men whose position in the society, business or political world is high. Few men whose station in life is high will fly, as it were, in the face of the public opinion and do that which will receive its condemnation. Oftimes when one is tempted "to take the law in his own hands" in order to revenge himself upon some disturber of his peace and quiet, he hesitates in so doing, not so much on account of fear of the punishment which the court may mete out to him as the fear that the public opinion will condemn his act. Accepting the foregoing as a fact, one can readily see how necessary it is for both state and nation to build up a strong public opinion in favor of law and order in order that their citizens may become more and more inclined to right living and right doing and less inclined to violate the law. This can only be done through education. There would be far less lynching and mob violence in this country if public opinion through education were made sufficiently strong to condemn it. As long as their exists in this country a maudlin public opinion against crime and disorder, so long will there be found an abundance of violators of the law in both high and low stations. The time has come when American public opinion against crime should be made strong. In every home, in every school and in every church upon American soil, a vigorous campaign against crime and disorder should be waged. The American youth should be taught early in his career that he cannot expect to hold a place of prominence in the social, political or business world if he refuses to obey the law in all of its aspects. He should be taught to understand that a complete ostracism will be his if he commits a crime or winces at one in any way. Whenever he is so instructed; whenever he is so brought up; a greater respect for law and order will he have and thus less will be the tendency in him to break the law or tolerate anyone who becomes a violator of the law. The importance and truthfulness of Viscount Haldane's statement presents itself to us in bold relief. We sincerely trust that it will have its weight with the American people of whom we are a part. Uranias Met The Uranias met on Sunday afternoon last at the residence of Mr. N. Roberts, 606 W. 32nd St. After the devotional exercises by Rev. S. M.

"Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at North wind's breath, And stars to set;—but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death." "No longer must the mourner weep, Nor call departed Christians dead, For death is hallowed into sleep, And every grave becomes a bed." "It is not exile, it is rest on high, It's not sadness, it is peace from strife, To fall asleep is not to die, To dwell with Christ is better life." Mittie M.

Nine years to-morrow at 5:55 p.m., the reaper death claimed our darling wife and mother. It is long, yet it seems but yesterday to us ever since that time to this present moment; a home without a wife and mother no one knows but Jesus. Yes, He alone for that vacant space, of whom? A wife. Of whom? A mother. Can it be filled with another? Never while life last. The light of the morning comes. The evening shade appears, no wife, no mother, No sweet and loving voice, No gentle, tender care, No wife, no mother, we loved her so dear. We dream of you by night, and speak of you by day. We go out to the cemetery, to view the mound of clay. And beside you Viola lay awaiting the judgment day. We sigh for you, we cry for you, We loved you so dear, Jesus loved you best. Our home is so lonely, no mother, Sweet mamma, sweet mamma, so dear. We loved you, sweet mamma, yes Our sweet Jesus loved you best.

D., Pastor, Church Baptist Church The New Testa much fuller and c of God than the O Testament, espic a portion there is As members of the Gospel, represent- ent of Christ's kingdom, it is necessary to teach, setting fourth acts before our people at times. We must, as watchmen on the walls, be able to read the "signs of the time," and then were instructed by setting forth truths to counteract certain influences and correct certain errors. I have adopted this method, using the columns of this journal, as granted me, in order to reach and benefit more than the members of my immediate congregation. It is my purpose to show here in this article, the relation existing between the Old and New Testaments. The smallest child in the Sunday school is familiar with the division of the Bible into two parts, known as the Old and New Testaments. There are a very few who do not know that the Old Testament was almost written in Hebrew, and the New Testament written in Greek; and also that the Old Testament is the only part of the Bible acknowledged as God's Word by the Jews, while the New Testament is the character of Christianity. Beyond these elementary facts many do not go, taking no note of the contrast existing between them or the manner in which one is related to the other. Both are quite God's word of equal authority and value teaching the same great lesson of Sin and Redemption yet possessing certain well defined differences and sustaining peculiar and interesting relations one to the other. The New Testament explains and fulfills the Old. It was a remark of Augustine that "In the Old Testament the New lies concealed, in the New Testament the Old Testament lies revealed." Thus the New Testament is but a revelation of the Old. In old times a written contract was often torn into two parts, each party retaining one of the halves, and the bringing together of these two halves would afterwards establish their genuine character. Such is the origin of the word "indenture." So do the Old and New Testaments come together, the one corresponding exactly to the other. The New Testament gives a much clearer revelation of doctrines than the Old. The immortality of the soul, the doctrine of the future life was not given to the saints of old with the fullness and clearness that we enjoy. They were not in ignorance of this hope but they walked in the morning twilight of revelation. Hence the rewards and penalties under the ancient dispensation were largely of a temporal character. The doctrine of the ATONEMENT was taught in type and object lessons, by bloody sacrifices and costly ritual, but the Herald of the New dispensation pointed his followers to the "Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world." The Resurrection of the dead, although believed by the Jews is only hinted at in the Old Testament, but throws the bright light of hope upon the resting place of our departed from every page of the New. The New Testament gives a much fuller and clearer revelation of God than the Old. In the Old Testament, especially in the earlier portion there is considerable anthropomorphism. God walks in the garden in the cool of the day, comes down to see what men are doing, and smells the odor of burning sacrifice: but in the New Testament, we are taught that God is a Spirit and those who worship Him aright must do so in spirit and in truth. The New Testament as the Charter of the New Dispensation, reveals more fully the Holy Ghost. Saints of old were not without His presence and His aid, but the interval between Christ's ascension and His return is emphatically the dispensation of the Holy Ghost. Even the morality of the New Testament is in advance upon that of the Old. We would hardly regard Samson, Jepthah, Barack or even some of the Patriarchs as saints, judged by the sermon on the Mount. There was a time of ignorance,—excusable ignorance. Polygamy and slavery common in Old Testament times cannot abide in the light of gospel morality. The New Testament is more spiritual than the Old. The rewards of the Old Testament were largely temporal: long life, riches and honors are the rewards of piety, but the wicked are to be blasted in all their hopes and cut off in the midst of their days. Such is the teachings of the Psalmist and the Prophets. The New Testament places the Christians' reward in the life to come, bidding him in this world to look for trials and conflicts. The Old deals principally with the life that now is, the New with that which is to come. Of course it is not meant that these comparisons are absolute, but only that they mark the general trend of thought. The New Testament cannot dispense with the Old and the Old is incomplete without the New. They are related. The Old is the foundation, the New is the edifice. Let us abide there. The Old the fountain, the New the stream. Let us drink freely. The Old Testament revealed truth as far as men were able to receive it. Its defects were those of the pupil, not of the teacher. We must not spend all our time in the Old Testament but go into the New for light in order to interpret rightly the Old Testament. It is also well to remember that enlarged privileges bring enlarged responsibilities. We who live in the full-orbed-light of the New Testament will be judged by that light and not by the dim twilight of an earlier age; grace and truth, whole truth, came with the advent of Christ. The great apostle Paul, a converted Jew, had no end of trouble from false teachers, who made a systematic effort to introduce rites among the early believers in Christ; such as circumcision, abstaining from certain kinds of food at certain seasons of the year, observance of certain days and seasons as feasts, "But meat commendeth no man to God, for neither if we eat are we better, neither if we eat not are we the worse." This was the case with the Jewish church when the Saviour, appeared in the flesh. Too much attention was paid to rites and ceremonies to the neglect of the weightier matters of the law, such as judgment, mercy and faith. As a result the soul of religion was gone. They made clean the outside of the cup and platter but within was extortion and excess. They enlarged the hem of their garments, made broad their phylacteries, fasted twice a week, put on sad countenance to be seen of men, they gave alms sounding the trumpet of their own praise but all these were out poor substitute for spiritual life. Nothing better than white washing a grave. We are not Jews, then why keep to the rites and ceremonies of Judaism? We are not Pagans, then why follow the licentious habits of Pagan converts. Teach Christ and His doctrines. To tell the good news of heaven, the story of the gospel and make disciples for Christ; is our duty. We are not to make disciples for ourselves but for Christ. We are to teach the whole Bible but let all know that the New Testament is a revelation of the Old. Our people must be taken into the full-orbed-light of the New Testament in order to see clearly what lies in the Old, for the Old Testament points to the New, and the New refers to the Old and then says "Here is the full meaning of what you read in the Old." Do you wish to find out clearly the essentials of Christianity or what constitute true religion? I must point you to the New Testament. There we have the negative and positive description of the kingdom of God, Rom. 14:17, "For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost." Christ and His kingdom are the central figures of the Bible. Let all teach it. From the promises made in Eden's Garden as set forth in the Old Testament until the full day breaks upon us in the New Testament it is this great thought, Teach it without confusion. Remember this, "God is not the Author of confusion. THE SIMPLE LIFE If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success unimagined in common hours. In proportion as he simplifies his life the laws of the universe will appear less complex and solitude will not be solitude nor poverty poverty nor weakness weakness.—Thoreau. Sam Weller. It was Sam Weller who made Dickens famous. "Pickwick Papers" were a complete failure financially until this unique character was introduced. The press was all but unanimous in praising Samvel as an entirely original character whom none but a great genius could, have created. Dickens received over $16,000 for "Pickwick Papers," and at the age of twenty-six he was incomparably the most popular author of his day in England.—London Standard. Grandfather's Portrait. A villager, intensely conceited and ignorant, but quite wealthy, was persuaded to have his grandfather's picture repainted. The artist, not having been decently treated by the villager, drew the portrait almost in a nude form. Rolling it up, he told the man not to look at it before the coming New Year's. On that day the villager ordered the picture to be bung up that he might pay it his New Year's respects. As it was being unrolled he frantically waved his hands and shouted: "Wait! Wait! The old gentleman is not ready, for he is not yet dressed."—From the Chinese. Blundera In Book Titles. There is always a crop of amusing mistakes concerning titles. Nothing so taxes the ingenuity of the bookseller as these phonetic endeavors to get at the name of a book. What but a genius could conceive that by "Within or Outside the Pall" was meant "Beyond the Palel" Even Mr. Bullen would be puzzled by a reference to "Screws of the Cash Lock" for "The Cruise of the Cachelet" Some other amusing blunders are, "She Strips to Kongo" for "She Stoops to Conquer," "Hero of the Week" for "Hereward, the Wake," "Lined, Pockets" for "Lying Prophets" and "Bad Acre of Greece" for Baedeker's "Greece."—New York Post. Vampires. The belief in vampires can be traced back for more than 2,000 years, yet there is not on record a single authenticated instance of a vampire having been seen by a human being, and there are no data available by means of which the origin of the belief can be ascertained with any degree of certainty. These blood sucking apparitions, or "living, mischievous, murderous dead bodies," as one writer quantitly termed them, were common to all countries, whether occidental or oriental.

It is a poor policy to make a fuss over a politician in a Masonic lodge because he holds a political job, and especially to invite him to a seat in the east, not as a Mason, but a "dog pelter of the first precinct," or whatever his official title may be. Toadyism is bad enough anywhere, but in a Masonic lodge it is intolerable. There should be at least one place in the world where a man's standing and recognition should not be based on the size of hispolitical pull, and that place is a Masonic lodge.—Masonic Chronicle. Every member of the Masonic fraternity should devote a part of his time to reading Masonic literature. The field is large. The domain of Masonic literature contains the accumulation of ages. It is rich in poetry, philosophy, ethics, history and jurisprudence. What the Masonic institution needs is more members, but more reading and thinking members.—Masonic News. THE DUTIES OF OFFICERS OF LODGES There are three things which officers of Lodges should feel themselves in honour bound to do, viz: First, they should be in their places promptly, and see that their Lodges are open on time. Secondly, They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability. Thirdly, They should be watchful and zealous as to the reputation of their lodges, and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against wilful offenders. An office in a Masonic Lodge is a post of honour, of responsibility and labor. That officer who fails to do the labour or shirks the responsibility is unworthy of the honour of the position which he occupies. No brother has a moral right to occupy a station and then, by the neglect of the duties which it imposes, greatly inconvenience the members of his Lodge, and thereby injure Freemasonry. It is an exceedingly reprehensible practice for Masters to be indifferent about opening their Lodges at the appointed. If the brethren want to talk and have a social time, let it be done after and not before Lodge meeting. Then those who want to go home can do so, and no injury is done. I know from personal experience that it decreases attendance upon Lodge meetings for officers to be late or irregular in opening the Lodge. If you want the interest of the brethren to increase, be sure to be on hand in your station, not about but upon the exact date of the time for the opening of the Lodge. Pursue this course and you will be surprised at the increase in Lodge attendance and interest. Open your lodge on time, and then do your work to the best of your ability. But remember that you cannot do the work without first learning it. If you do not study hard to learn the work, you alone will be responsible for your own mortification, as well as the disappointment and disgust of the brethren, at your miserable failure to do the work of your station in a creditable manner. How can you expect to make good Masons by doing poor work? By care- of officers, bad impressions are made on the minds of candidates, which are hard to efface afterwards. On the contrary, what can be more interesting, instructive, and inspiring than our beautiful work when properly done? Brethren, I appeal too you to appreciate the importance and the dignity of the stations to which you have been elevated, and by your prompt attendance upon Lodge meetings and the efficient discharge of the duties and work of your respective stations, prove that you are worthy of the honour which you brethren have conferred upon you. What think you, is it honest to accept the honour and then not to do the work? To take the pay and then refuse to deliver the goods? Answer these questions by your conduct in the future. While it is true that every effort should be made to reclaim an erring brother, yet officers of Lodges should be firm and fearless in enforcing discipline against violators of our law. To fail to do this is treason to Freemasonry. No man, it matters not who he may be, should be allowed by an immoral life, or drunkenness or profanity, or by any un-Masonic conduct, to degrade our noble Fraternity, and tarnish its fair name. On this point make no concessions or compromises. See to it that no camp followers, wearing uniforms of Freemasonry, are allowed to hang upon our flanks and prey upon and demoralize our forces or currupt society. A great contest is going on in this world between darkness and light. We are seekers after light. We do not want to have in our ranks any who are not willing as true soldiers, to take their places upon the firing. We only want those who will face the dangers and stand the hardships in the great battle and onward movement for light, which means Truth, Justice, Sobriety, Morality, and the uplifting of Humanity.—Queensland Freemason. Music and The Negro. Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley is at Hampton Institute for a month to conduct a summer class in oratorio, concluding with an "Oratorio Demonstration," which will include a musical "Tug of War" between sopranos, altos, tenors, and bassos in oratorios, recitatives and solos, a musical "Spell Down" between the boys and girls on the oratorios "The Creation" and "The Messiah." Mrs. Hackley has made six-foot charts of the music and the matter to be taught, and the students will have absorbed a great deal of information with very little efforts through these. As the study of arithmetic cultivates habits of thought, so the intelligent study of music for the Negro as well as other races cultivates abstract mental habits which will control thoughts and emotions, to say nothing of the employment of the idle hour. There is no people so completely under the power of music and no people who could beso moulded through the power of music. She recommends the study of oratorio especially because the religious character of oratorio music appeals to the masses of Negroes. They sing this class of music with marvellous feeling when they have absorbed its beauties and conquered its difficulties. As intellect is put into the construction of good music so intellect must feel its reception, and to appreciate this music, it must be studied intelligently. After the coming season, Mrs. Hackley will devote her energies and time towards educating the masses of her people in music. She will have a Memorial Normal School Voice Culture Institute in Chicago, especially to train vocal teachers for the colored schools, and she will hold vocal institutes in various section of the country. Nearly the whole of last year was given to her Musical Mission. She instructed nearly 64,000 in her method of voice culture, in one day teaching 3,000 school children lessons in breathing and the elements of voice culture. Even in the rural schools, the children grasped every point that she presented, and the teachers report that the lessons will never be forgotten. Pretty Near. It was Sunday afternoon, and Mabel's little sister, Ruth, aged four, was seated beside Mabel on the sofa. Presently the little girl asked of Mabel's nance, "Aren't I your tweetheart, Mr. Bumper?" "Well," answered Mr. Bumper, with a fond glance at Mabel, "you're the next thing to it."—Judge "Are you nearsighted, sir?" asked the waiter as the diner was leaving. "No," replied the man. "Well, you've left a dime on the table, sir." "That's for you." "Well, if you think I'd take a tip like that you must be nearsighted, sir."—Yonkers Statesman. Cruel. "I'm developing quite a passion for motoring," said Miss Hoamley. "I wonder if it's harmful." "Quite the contrary," replied Miss Outting. "I should think it would be very becoming to you." "How do you mean becoming?" "Well, you know, dear, you can wear a mask while motoring."—St. Louis Republic. Webster's Compliment Mr. Webster said one of the heartiest compliments ever paid him was by a Maine farmer for whom a young man he had gone into Maine and tried a case. As they left the courtroom—it is to be presumed flushed with victory—the client with flat hand struck him a blow on the back that made the dust fly, saying, "Dan, you're a boss!" Carlyle's Creed. Man is born to expend every particle of strength that God Almighty has given him in doing the work he finds he is fit for, to stand it out to the best breath of life and do his best—Thomas Carlyle. Wail of Man Robbed of Fortune. Grouch—There goes a man who robbed me of a large fortune. Glink—He robbed you of a fortune, and still he is enjoying his liberty! Grouch—Not by a darned sight!

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Some markets prefer a pure white egg and some those that are a rich brown. There seems to be no good reason for this difference except mere whim. Connecticut, for many years supposed to be quite outside the limits of the peach belt, this season gives promise of a yield of 1,000,000 baskets of this fruit, or 2,000 carloads. A hen 'is a small institution, but when she goes on a rampage in a neighbor's garden she is a larger factor in kicking up neighborhood ill will than anything we know'of. Now that the fly killing campaign is in full swing it will be in order to keep fly poison out of reach of the little folks in the home. Many die yearly because of getting hold of it. Millet intended for use as a forage ration should be cut shortly after the blossoms appear and before the hard seed heads form. The hay will be the finer if the ground is seeded rather heavily. The reason for the shallow cultivation the last time through, the corn is that by that time the lateral roots have spread a good deal, and setting the shovels deep would tear and destroy them. In one or two counties in central New York the tent caterpillars are so numerous that they have stripped fruit trees of all their foliage and are swarming over the ground in search of other green stuff. Twenty thousand pounds of Australian frozen beef were sold one day recently in New York city, the price paid for it being 1½ cents per pound less than the prevailing market price for American beef of equal quality. In many sections of the country the potato grower is this year freed from both his worst pests—bugs and blight. He isn't able to explain the situation on any scientific basis, but he's mighty thankful it's so, however. Effective work on the part of government forest rangers in the Chugach national forest reserve in Alaska recently resulted in extinguishing fires that threatened the 28,000,000,000 feet of lumber which the reserve is said to contain. A former Japanese student at the University of Wisconsin hasInfo purchased a Holstein bull in the state at a long price for shipment to Japan, there to become the head of a herd of dairy cows which the breeder intends to establish. These is little gain in waging a campaign against the different diseases from which the fazen animals or poultry may suffer if one does not at the same time clean up and thoroughly disinfect the premises whereon these same diseases have been developed. --- Not in years have we seen the groebanks go after the green peas in the pod as hard as they have this season. This is doubts due to the fact that there have been no potato bug larvae, which usually constitute one of the chief items in their bill of fare. A handy torch for burning out nests of the tent caterpillar is made by winding a coll of old rags or waste at the end of an iron rod and fastening this to a pole of some kind. Where the trees are not too large a handy and quick method is to do the job on houseback. Much may be done toward improving the quality of fruit at picking time by removing as soon as possible all fruit that shows defects of any kind. The nourishment that would otherwise be needed to ripen this imperfect fruit will thus be diverted to apples that are of good shape and free from disease. A couple of months ago the writer nalled up a second wren's house (a tin can with a small triangular hole cut in the end) a few yards from a can that was already occupied by a pair of the birds. They paid no attention to it, but now that their little ones have left the nest the parents have started housekeeping in the new quarters. A report recently published by the Canadian department of agriculture states that Dominion farmers lose $1,000,000 a year through merely leaving the male birds with the hens after the breeding season is over, about the middle of June, thus resulting in partially incubated eggs. If Canadian farmers suffer such a loss as this it is fair to assume that the loss to American farmers from this source would be several times as great. THE EGG LAYING CONTEST. The thirty-fifth week of the international egg laying contest being conducted at the Storms Agricultural college in Connecticut shows the English White Leghorns-Barron's and Cam's still in the lead, with scores of 739 and 600 eggs, respectively. Mr. Cam's White Wyandottes hold third place, with 620 eggs; Foster's White Leghorns fourth, with 616 eggs, and Schmitz's Buff Leghorns fifth, with a score of 612 eggs. These are the only pens that have reached or passed the 600 mark. Following are the highest records attained by pens of the several breeds which have been entered in the contest: Barred Rocks, 496; White Plymouth Rocks, 526; White Wyandottes, 583; Buff Wyandottes, 396; R. C. R. I. Reds, 554; R. C. R. I. Reds, 527; Buff Orpingtons, 426; White Orpingtons, 484; Black Orpingtons, 343; Black Minorcas, 402; Blue Andalusians, 380; Anconas, 322; Buttercups, 160. There is little question that in this contest for practical results there are many pens of fowls making high records for eggs that would score low when it came to fine points, and feathers and some pens that rate low in egg production that would rank relatively high according to usual poultry show standards. A VALUABLE GENERAL PRINCIPLE. The idea is all too common that the essential principles of dry farming, so called, have value only for the farmer who is in the dry farming or semiarid belt. This idea of frequent cultivation of the soil during dry weather to create a dust mulch so as to conserve the moisture present in the soil, which is the chief factor in dry farming, may on occasions of drought in sections where rainfall is usually sufficient be of the utmost value. During the present season there is little question that many fields of oats would have yielded from ten to fifteen bushels more per acre had the field been harrowed following the late May rains, in midafternoon before the grain reached ten inches in height. As it was, the last heavy rain packed the soil and the sun baked it, with the result that circulation of soil, air and moisture was interfered with and the growth of the grain-greatly retarded. In the case of cultivated crops, like corn and potatoes, the same principle holds—that the dryer the weather the more frequent the cultivations should be for the purpose of maintaining the dust mulch. STUNTS FOR THE BOYS. The Playground Association of America has set some simple physical tests which the directors think ought to be met by some boys of given ages. Both town and country boys will be interested in those. For instance, it is expected of a boy twelve years old that he can chin four times, cover five feet nine inches in a standing broad jump and run sixty yards in eight and three-fifth seconds. Boys between this age and the high school are expected to chin six times, jump six feet six inches and run sixty yards in eight seconds, while boys of high school age should chin nine times, make a running high jump of four feet four inches and run 220 yards in twenty-eight seconds. It would be interesting to know whether town or country boys could the more easily meet these terms. BEES SPREAD FEAR BLIGHT It is a matter of regret that, while bees perform a most useful function in the process of cross fertilization in different kinds of fruit trees, they are also a form of the child factors in a scattering of the fire or peas blight that for several years past has wrought such havoc in peas and apple orchards in different parts of the country. In one case where the blight had put in an appearance in a well known fruit growing, section fostery-five fruit spur infections were found in a single tree, and practically all of them were infections resulting from the visits of bees, whose legs and antennae had been ensured with the blight ooze from some hollow cases. LESS FRUIT THIS YEAR. According to the early summer crop report issued by the secretary of the Kansas Horticultural society, there will be considerably less fruit this year than last. The condition of the apple crop is 53 per cent as compared with 71 per cent last year at the corresponding time, pears show 40 per cent as compared with 6 per cent a year ago, while the condition of peaches is 23 per cent as against 53 per cent a year ago. While it will not hold in all instances, this slump in the condition of the three fruits named and of some others will be true not only for Kansas, but for a number of other states to the north and east of the Atlantic coast. $1,000 NET PER AGRE A Missouri farmer, a member of the Ozark Fruit Growers' association, last year set out to see how large a crop of strawberries he could grow on one acre. This was put in the best of tith and given a generous application of bonemeal and well rotted manure. He set the most vigorous plants he could get and gave thorough cultivation as well as spraying for fungous and insect pests. When he checked up on this acre he found he had picked 800 crates, which brought him an average of $1.75 per crate. This gave a gross return of $1,460 per acre. Deducting expenses of $400 leaves $1,000 net as his return from this one acre. J.H. Piigg Expert Hair Cutting, Electronic Massage and Shampooing a Specialty. An Work Done by Experienced Workman.
