VOLUME XXIX Annual Statement Wage Earners DID $221,424.22 BUSINESS LAST YEAR All Old Directors Re-elected at Meeting Stock Holders Monday Night-Bank to Begin New Building After January—Second Largest Business of Any Negro Bank in Country The annual statement of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, which was issued this week, is very interesting and shows the great-volume of busines done by the company during the twelve months ending on the fourth of last month. The statement shows the combined assets of the company at the end of the last fiscal year to be nearly a quarter of a million dollars, to be exact $221,424.22, which are only surpassed by the Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, Ala. That the stock-holders of the bank are realizing a very nice dividend from the money invested in the stocks of the institution may be learned from the twelve percent dividend that was declared by the Board of Directors at the October meeting. President L. E. Williams is very much gratified at the excellent showing the bank is making and the increasing volume of business which it is doing yearly. The bank will after the coming January begin the erection of a modern sky scraper on the property purchased some time ago at the corner of West Broad and Alice streets for $25000, just one block south of the Union Station. The site is an admirable one and the banking quarters which will be erected will be among the finest in the country occupied by a Negro banking institution. The lot, on which there is at present a two-story frame building, is 105 feet on West Broad street extending back on Alice a distance of approximately 60 feet. The institution is the depository of many of the leading societies of the city, aside from having over four thousand five hundred satisfied depositors. It has built many of the best houses in the city owned by Negroes, and the stock of the institution is sold at fifteen dollars per share which can be bought on easy terms. Five per cent is paid on deposits. The following shows the growth of the business since its beginning thirteen years ago. 1900 (commenced) $ 1901 - - - 1902 - - - 1903 - - - 1904 - - - 1905 - - - 1906 - - - 1907 - - - 1908 - - - 1909 - - - 1910 - - - 1911 - - - 1912 - - - 1913 - - RESOURCES Loans Outstanding. $169,645.86 Real Estate and Investments, 39,010.83 Office Furniture and Fixtures, 767.71 Building Fund 3,000.00 Cash, 8,999.82 Total 221,424.22 LIABILITIES Capital Paid in, 40,938.10 Reserve and Undivided Profits 32,815.92 Deposits 122,512.30 Dividends Unpaid, 157.90 Bills Payable, 25,000.00 Total 261,494.90 At the annual meeting of the stock holders last Monday night, the entire old board of directors was unanimously reelected.

The officers of the bank are L. E. Williams, president and treasurer; W. R. Fields, vice president and R. A. Harper, secretary. The Savannah Over Home News, Beaufort J. S. Blocker, Correspondent. Miss Della Harvey, after an illness of more than four weeks, is again much improved, to the delight of her host of friends. Mr. H. H. Moore is again able to be out after an illness of six weeks. Mrs. Florence Costa of New York City, is in the city visiting her mother, Mrs. McGill, at their home on Newport and Republic streets. The many friends of Deacon Dickerson, of Dickerson, a little colored village, now a part of greater Beaufort, will regret to learn of his death which occurred on last Tuesday morning, after an illness of only a few days. His funeral took place Thursday morning from Tabernacle Baptist church of which he was a deacon for twenty years. We are much impressed with the popularity of The Tribune among the Over Homers. Miss Lucile Black of this city, now living at Fort Taten. N. Y., sends for The Tribune for one year. Quite a nice party left the city on last Friday for Bluffton, S.C. Among the number were Hon. J. I. Washington, Mr. P. S. Sanders, and Rev. Patrick. They reported a good time and spoke in the highest praises of the hospitality of the colored citizens of Bluffton. The citizens of Beaufort are planning for a great time Jan. 1st, 1914. They are going to celebrate that day as the fiftieth year of emancipation. The citizens' committee meets this week at the office of Hon. J. I. Washington to formulate plans. Mr. James E. Zealey was in the city this week from Paris Island, looking at the large supply of cotton which he is preparing for shipment. Mr. Zealey is indeed a successful cotton buyer. The Beaufort Cornet Band, under the leadership of Capt. Henry Singleton, celebrated their twenty second year on Tuesday night at the Pond Hall. Mr. E. W. Mitchell, founder and president since Sept. 1891, deserves much credit. The total membership is twenty. Mr. E. M. Scott is manager and Mr. Joseph Jackson, secretary and treasurer. On Monday evening of this week a very delightful musical program was rendered at the auditorium. Among the local talent that took place were Messrs, M. B. Fleming, Alexander Myers, Samuel Bryaut; William Frazier, Major P. A. Roper, S. E. Simuel; Misses Ethel Deas, Dell Washington, Julia Glover, Geneva Fisher. Misses Fisher and Glover sang two beautiful solos. The Presbyterian church will give a one night bazaar on Monday night Nov. 17th at auditorium building. Campaign Headquarters Opened An energetic campaign in the interest of the Colored Public Library is to be waged for the next 90 days, and to further the cause campaign headquarters have been opened at 809 West Broad street, with Mannie Houstoun in charge. The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for the purchase of ground on Henry street, east, on which the library will soon be erected. A quartette contest and a debate on woman suffrage will take place at Second Baptist Church, November 24th, 1913, for the benefit of the Colored .Public Library. The following donations towards the building fund of the Colored Public Library are acknowledged with thanks: F. H. Ferguson $1 00 E. R. Corson, M. D. 5 00 J. A. Mayes 3 00 E. C. Martin 2 00 L. D.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1913 Social Worker to Visit Our City MR. EUGENE KINCKLE JONES HERE NEXT WEEK One of Associate Directors of National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes Will Hold Conference With Leading Negroes Thursday Night Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Associate Director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, with headquarters in New York, will visit the city next week in the interest of his work. Arrangements will be made for him to meet a few of the leading citizens for a conference which will be held next Thursday night. To bring about co-operation among existing agencies and organizations for improving the economic, social, and spiritual conditions among Negroes.

To provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquents. To render neighborhoods free from vice where respectable people may have homes. To investigate city conditions among Negroes. Appeal's Interesting Issue The Emancipation number of the St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., Appeal was a very interesting issue and showed in a most impressive manner the progressiveness of the colored citizens of the Twin Cities. Editor J. O. Adams deserves much praise for presenting to the entire country the beautiful homes, clubs and places of business owned by the Negroes of his bailiwick, and also the cuts of the more progressive Negro citizens? It will be interesting to Savannahians to learn that at the celebration, whose success was probably primarily due to the the publicity which the Appeal gave the matter, Mr. W. T. Mitchell, a native of this city, who used to be plain "Mitch," was among the members of one of the prominent committees that had charge of the celebration. The Tribune congratulates the Appeal upon this interesting number. Reception of Members and Communion On account of the absence of the pastor from the city the regular communion service of the First Congregational Church was postponed to tomorrow, Sunday, night at 8 o'clock. Four applicants will be received into membership, a short address will be made by the pastor, and special offering will be taken for the poor. At the morning service, the pastor, Rev. Wm. L. Cash, will give a report of the recent triennial session of the National Council of Congregational Churches, held at Kansas City, Mo. Men's Club On Sunday November 9th, the Men's Club of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church will hold their usual Sunday afternoon meeting in the church from four to five o'clock. The subject to be discussed is "Witnesses for Christ." The men and young men of the city are cordially invited to attend and join in the talks on this very interesting subject. Tribune 2nd Church Contest OVER $1300 RBALIZED SINCE CONTEST BEGAN $4000 Mortgage Nearly Wiped Out-Tomorrow Will Close Three Years for Rey. Reid in Savannah-Five Night Bazaar A Success-Contest Closes March Seldom does a contest in churches assume the interesting features that have attended the Trip to Palestine contest which has been going on at the Second Baptist Church since the first week in July. The members of the church have been transported to the holy land in two ships, namely the Lusitania and the Mauretania, Deacon John F. Jones acting as captain of the former, and the pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, having charge of the latter vessel. The two boats are now on the homeward voyage, having reached Palestine during last week. On the return'trip the vessels are about on even terms, the Mauretanian having a very slight lead. Up to date a total of $1336 has been raised, the Mauretania contributing $696.00 and the Lusitania $640.00. The contest is scheduled to close in March, but on account of the rapid progress the ships have made, it will probably close earlier. The next report of the ships' progress will be made on the last Sunday in December. Through the splendid returns from this contest and by several other means, the church has succeeded in reducing a $4000 mortgage to a little less than $900.00. The pastorate of Rev. D. Augustine Reid in this city on next Sunday will have extended over three years and in the morning he will preach his third anniversary sermon. During Rev. Reid's short pastorate here he has aside from almost entirely paying off the mortgage, completely renovated the church, regained many of the members who had strayed away and succeeded in bringing the church up to its former standing among the religious institutions of the city. The European bazaar that was held last week was quite a success, nearly $200 having been realized by the five night entertainment. MRS. PANKHURST MAKES APPEAL TO NEGRO WOMEN (Special to The World) Chicago, Nov. 4—Mrs. Pankhurst had a busy day, the finish of which was a speech to some two thousand Negro women and men at the Institution Church in the black belt on South Dearborn street. She pictured the good they could accomplish for their race by working for the reforms their white sisters advocated. St. Phillip Dots Not withstanding the ideal weather on last Sunday the attendance at the communion service was very small. Rev. J. A. Capps was the Lord's messenger at 11 a. m. Rev. Singleton preached at 8:15 p. m. The public is invited to the sacred concert at St. Philip on to morrow, Sunday, night at 8:15 o'clock. There will be a fine program rendered. Come and bring your friends. No admission fee. To.morrow is pledge day. Every member must keep in mind that they must also pay up for back, pledges. You must keep up your obligation in order that the trustees may meet outstanding claims against the church. This is very important, please keep it in mind. Your dollar money is also due and only three weeks to pay it. Rev. Singleton will leave for Hawkinsville, where the Georgia Conference will convene but if you fail to pay your dollar why St. Philip will not be represented. The following services on tomorrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m Preaching by the pastor, Rev. Singleton at 11 a. m. Sunday school at 3 p. m. Sacred concert at 8:15. Come and bring your friends. Tuesday's Election Election was held in several of the states on Tuesday. Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia elected Democratic governors. There was no opposition in Virginia. On account of the Progressive vote in New Jersey and Massachusetts, the Democrats were able to slip in with no increase in their usual vote. On account of the Progressive vote, the senatorship in Maryland was won by the Democrats. The greatest interest centered in New York where a united fight was made on Tammany. McCall, its candidate for mayor, was badly defeated by Mitchell, the fusion nominee. Ex-Governor Sulzer, who was impeached about three weeks ago, was nominated for the assembly, and was victorious. The Republicans have routed the Democratic majority in the assembly and will control. In many of the cities in the state the Republicans won. The Democrats can find but scant cause for rejoicing over the election. They have not in any instance increased their votes where they were victorious, while the Republicans have shown satisfactory gains. The election indicates that there will be a coming together of the old Republican forces and the congressional election of next November will find the Democrats badly routed. Pilgrim Congregational Church Auousta Road, near 3 mile Post. The attendance at Sunday school although not up to the average, was much larger than the Sunday before. In the afternoon song service and preaching took place, after which the Lord's supper was administered. On Monday afternoon the little ones enjoyed themselves on the church lawn at the Halloween party, after the lighting of the lanterns and the bonfire the refreshments were served and the little ones went to their respective homes carrying a light with them. The following services will be held tomorrow: Sunday school at 11 o'clock. Song service and preaching at 5 o'clock. Everybody is asked to be present 'at all of our services. Come, you are always welcome. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday at Asbury Church with Rev. W. V. Daughtry presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. R. H. Singleton. The topic of the day was the sermonic report, which was given by Rev. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, which was very helpful. The union as a whole offered commendation. Next Tuesday will be a paper by Rev. J. A. Martin, subject, "The Inspiration of the Holy Scripture." Visitors always welcome. F. A. B. Church Rev. A. W. Bryant supplied the pulpit of F. A. B. church on last Sunday at each service. His text at the morning service was taken from Exodus 12:13, theme "Pass Over," At night services his text was selected from Ruth 1:1, subject "The sacrificing love of Ruth for Naomi, and the sacrificing love of Naomi for Ruth." Both sermons were well delivered and much enjoyed. The funeral of brother Aaron M. Williams took place immediately after the morning's service. Rev. A. W. Bryant officiated, assisted by a number of visiting ministers who spoke befittingly of the deceased. The Sunday school also rendered a pathetic program and gave a floral offering in token of his long and useful service. The funeral was largely attended by members of the church, friends and the J. W. Carr's Protective Association, of which he was a member. The church mourns the loss of such a valuable worker in the Sunday school as was the type of Brother Williams, yet in humble submission she bows to the Hand that has recently afflicted her, trusting that the same Hand will soon apply a balm to each wound and mend each broken link. Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor of Beth Eden Baptist church, administered the communion in the afternoon. The officers and members were delighted to have him present, and expressed a desire to have him visit more often. We are always glad to welcome the pastors of our sister churches, their officers and members. Will Have Fine Floats Jan. 1st Will Have Fine Floats Jan. 1st BUSINESS LEAGUE TO HAVE UNIQUE DISPLAY Many Business Houses Will Prepare Floats—Doctors Asked to Affiliate With Body Much Good Being Felt From League's Campaign—Will Hold Public Meeting. That the first of January celebration this year will eclipse any yet held in this city is the opinion of all who are aware of the elaborate plans which are on foot for the fiftieth celebration of the emancipation of the Negro from slavery. As in all things there is a reason for this awakening in race pride and the reason in this particular case may be ascribed to the fact that the Negro Business League will take part in the celebration. The League will enter a float in the demonstration showing the advancement of the Negro along all lines since emancipation. Further still, the League will endeavor to interest all the Negro business men in the celebration and urge them to have floats showing the advancement of the Negro in their respective lines of business. Already there are about a score of the leading business men who have signified their desire to enter a float. In order to stimulate interest in the celebration, the League will offer prizes for the best displays and keen rivalry will undoubtedly be manifested in the contest. At a meeting of the League Wednesday night, and, by the way, the meeting nights are now the first Wednesday and third Friday in the month, it was decided to urge upon the doctors of the city to become members of the League. A committee composed of Messrs. D. J. Scott, J. C. Lindsay and Wm. Johnson was appointed to interest the doctors in the League. The committee will call upon all the doctors. That the work of the League has been fraught with much success was shown at the last meeting when the members present spoke of the new business which they had received here of late, practically all of which was traced to the influence of the League. The League realizing that publicity is what is needed to further the interests of the business men has decided upon a monster public meeting in the near future. The place and date for holding this meeting have not yet been decided upon, but a committee has been appointed to work out the details. The membership of the League is increasing steadily and in the course of the next few months it is hoped that the local league will be among the strongest and most influential bodies affiliated with the National Negro Business League. President Singfield has been very much pleased with the way the members have taken hold of the work and says that before long he expects the League to be one of the most beneficial agencies in the city for the advancement of the race. St. Paul C. M. E. Church Last Sunday was communion day at St. Paul, and the services were very appropriate and well attended. At the morning service the Rev. Martin preached a timely sermon on the "Necessity of giving," using as a text Acts 2:44-45. Romans 10:14 was a matter of the evening discourse, which was a splendid treat of eloquence and wholesome instructions. Tuesday eveing last the pastor was tendered a surprise by a few of the willing workers of the church and an enjoyable evening wasspent. Preparations are being made for a great thanksgiving exercise, on Thanksgiving Day. Rev. G. W. Taylor presiding elder of Savannah district will be present on tomorrow to wind up the quarterly conference matters for this year, and will preach at each service. Officers and members are urged to be present and come prepared to make a final settlement with the elder. The public is invited to the services on tomorrow to bear the Presiding Elder. Local Happenings The Shriners are planning for a carnival in the park extension, if the consent of the city council can be secured. Mr. Benj. Bryant had his leg fractured by being pinned beneath a bale of cotton on the Seaboard terminals on Monday. The work on the memorial arch at the entrance of Colonial Park on Abercorn and Oglethorpe avenue began on Monday. The Bell Telephone system has 2,427 poles in the city, an increase of 150 since last year. The term of the Federal Court has been postponed until December. Mr. Gilbert Ellis employed on the Ocean Steamship wharves had his foot crushed by one of the motor trucks, on Monday. The auditorium bond issue was validated by a decree signed by Judge Charlton of the Superior Court. Mr. T. B. Gracen who objected to its issuance, lost his case. A cannon ball fell on the Seaboard terminals on Saturday. Where it came from is still a mystery.

Twice In the Same Place. Some people seem to be more likely to be struck by lightning than others. Father Bosco of Turin was struck three times on different occasions. Mrs. Hain, an American woman who was wounded in the left foot by lightning in the year 1840, was struck again in the same spot in 1855. The great Mithridates was reputed to have been struck in the forehead while a child and to have had his sword fused by lightning as he slept with it by his side in later life. He Has Two Signatures. There is one New York business man who is reasonably proof against the forger, as he has two signatures, and the forger must first get hold of one of his bank checks to get any action. Seeing the signature on a letter or hotel register would do the forger no good. The bank would not recognize it. "I don't particularly fear the forger," the business man admitted, "but my two signatures make me feel safer just the same. I am surprised that everybody doesn't hit on the same plan. It's very easy after you get the knack of signing your name two separate and distinct ways."—New York Globe.

"Summer is icumen in," is quite modern in comparison with a score of the "Orestes" of Euripides, dating from the fourth century B. C., which was exhibited at the international exhibition of music at Vienna some years ago. Even more ancient is the chant "The Blessing of the Priests," which was sung in the temple of Jerusalem before the captivity and is still in use in the Jewish synagogues in Spain and Portugal. What is the ideal length for a sermon? The question is raised by Dean Hole in his "Memories." By way of illustration, he tells a story of a sheriff's chaplain who had once asked a judge what was the proper length of a sermon. "Well, twenty minutes," was the answer, "with a leaning to the side of mercy." That is good advice—and, by the way, it is advice which Queen Victoria would have heartily approved. In 1867 the queen presented a pulpit glass to the Chapel Royal, Savoy, and it was timed for exactly eighteen minutes. There, was no mistaking the hint. If you wanted to please the queen you stopped preaching at eighteen minutes. Change of Heart Parson Primrose—Why do you think it was out of place for your father to say grace?

When a very young man, fresh from college, he was supping with Mme. Geoffrin and telling an overlong story. In order to interrupt it his hostess asked him to carve a chicken. He began to do so, making use of much too small a knife. Madame, noticing his difficulty, remarked, "M. le Chevallier, take my advice, and if you want to succeed tell short stories and use long knives." An Old Puritan Name. Among the millions of our fellow countrymen you would expect to find some curious survivals of names. Well, the other day I found the name, still surviving in Lancashire. "Tramplepleasure." It does not occur in the London telephone directory. It has never before occurred in my experience, but it is obviously a survival of the "Praise God Barebones" period. And the last man with that name should be forgiven if he shortened it to Smith. London Standard. Handel's Big Earnings. Handel made more money from his works than any composer before his time. For a "Te Deum" and a "Jubilate," written to celebrate the treaty of Utrecht, he was awarded a pension of £200 a year. This was doubled by George I. soon after his accession and confirmed by George II., so that Handel drew the pension until his death in 1759. Altogether for these two compositions Handel received £18,800. Although he lost thousands of pounds running opera at Covent Garden, Handel died worth £20,000—a sum, allowing for the difference in the value of money, equal to £60,000 nowadays. London Mall. A Ducal Bull. The Duke of Abercorn made a queer oratorical muddle in a speech he delivered one day. He was speaking of the great siege of Londonderry and of how bravely the citizens had defended their city against the besieging army. "They withstood the siege," he went on, "in order that they might hand down their birthright to their ancestors, who are yourselves!"—London Mail. Given Under His Hand. Uncle Luke sometimes has the job of accompanying visitors about one of the South Carolina cotton mills near Columbia. One day the party under his care came to a room where all the employees were men. "I see you don't employ any women here," said one woman in surprise. "'Deed we ain't, ma'am," answered Luke proudly. "Mr. Parker done order dat hisself, ma'am—nothin' 'cept manual labor in dish yer room."—New York Post. Kitty's Advantage "Love is like a kitten,' gurgled the sweet young thing. "It is born blind."

The slowworm is the snake which country people tell you has the peculiar property of breaking itself into bits, each piece afterward surviving. The truth differs slightly from the legend. The slowworm is a timid creature and when first captured tightens all its muscles, thus reducing itself to a remarkably rigid state, in which condition it will no doubt snap like a dry twig; but, needless to say, only the upper and vital portions survive the ordeal.—London Globe. MEN WHOCAN AND WILL MEN WHO CAN AND WILL The world today is above all else a practical world, and it demands results. What it is looking for is men who can and will do things. It is recorded of Lord Kitchener that, when during the South African campaign a subordinate officer reported to him a failure to obey orders and gave reasons therefor, he said to him: "Your reasons for not doing it are the best I ever heard. Now go and do it!" That is what the world demands today. George W. Goethals. Hard to Suit. "Maria," sharply asked Mr. Dorkins. "Is that worthless young whipper snapper of a Dick Doogood still coming to see Bessle?" "What do you mean by talking that way, John?" said Mrs. Dorkins. "He hasn't been here in six weeks." "Hasn't he? Is the scoundrel trifling with her affections?"—Chicago Tribune. Well Reasoned. A schoolteacher was asking if they could tell what part of the body was the most ill used.

That the Southern Standard, Macon', Ga., has been making steady progress and has been sawing away quietly, but effectively, may be gleaned from the fact that by next month it will have installed a linotype machine. This will be the first Negro paper of the state, and one of the few throughout the country, to possess such a machine and The Tribune extends her congratulations to her worthy contemporary upon securing such a valuable asset to its plant. Postmaster Lucas is to be commended for the vigorous manner in which he has begun his term as postmaster. He is endeavoring to improve the efficiency of the service of the local office and calling to his aid the head of the department. In order to give proper service the office help should be increased. The need of more clerks and carriers is apparent. There are several districts where the number of deliveries should be increased, especially where business houses are located. There is no doubt that Postmaster Lucas is alert to these needs, and in course of time he will improve them --- Friday of last week, a lunacy hearing was held at the jail, at the close of which Judge McAlpin made the following statement: "Gentlemen, this is the most unusual session of the commission. We have tried five cases of moral degeneracy based on the use of liquor. Two of these subjects are anxious to go to the asylum, and are waifs upon the sea of time." This is indeed a startling statement and appaling to the mind of the moralist. The liquor habit is sapping out the lives of more men and women than any other agency and it is an evil that should be fought. Too often is the case that young boys and girls are found practicing the use of these spirits which eventually cause their downfall. Too little attention is being paid this great evil by our people. We have a number of well established business concerns in the city, the owners of several are continually complaining about the non-patronage of the people. There is an apparent reason for this non-patronage that can easily be ascertained. No, business can be conducted successfully matters not how well-stocked it may be unless it is advertised. Let the public know what you have to sell, what bargains you have to offer; let them know that you are anxious for their trade. The only way to do these things is to advertise, advertise. The most successful business is that business that is kept continually before the people. Nearly everybody knows where the leading stores in Savannah are located, yet, these stores are being continuously advertised. Let our colored men learn this useful lesson. "To dare to fail is noble, to fail to dare is ignoble." The foregoing truism uttered by the learned Rabbi Wise and given to our people by him in his recent address at the Semi-centinental Exposition recently held in New York City by members of our race in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro, carries within itself unusual import to us as a people at this time. As far back as we are able to stretch our memory, history has taught us that the civilization of the world has moved forward, not through the efforts of those who have been content to sit by idly and allow things to remain as they are, but through the efforts of those men and women who have dared to brave the dangers of unknown territories and thus to venture into new and untried fields. The great American continent would not have been known for many years after Columbus made his great discovery of the new world, if the adventurous spirit had not possessed the great Genoese sailor and impelled him to brave the dangers of waters of the much dreaded Atlantic and seek a land beyond them. The great Atlantic would never have been spanned by cable, if the dare to do spirit had not permeated the breast of the great inventor Cyrus W. Field and spurred him on to activity. As in science and discovery, so in religion, business and politics, advancement has been only through the effort of those who would venture, as in were, "out of their dead selves," and try to make the world better by their having lived in it, by trying to make improvements upon the established order of things. In order for the world to move on, there must be activity. New and untried fields must be sought and tried. New territories must be explored, new discoveries must be made. Innovations must be had on all sides. The world has long since ceased to look with assurance upon the man or woman who seeks to delve into the unknown or venture into untried fields for the good of humanity. Our people will do well to incorporate within themselves and thus make it a part of them, the great truism of Rabbi Wise. After viewing the present prospectus of our business life, there can be no denying of the fact, that many new and untried fields of activity offer themselves to our people. While there should be no reckless efforts on the part of our people in seeking and venturing into new and untried fields, at the same time conservatism should not so permeate their beings as to drive out of them every vestige of the dare to do spirit. If our people ever hope to reach the full status of American civilization in economic greatness and literary training, we must incorporate within us more of the dare to do spirit so characteristic of the Caucasian race. As we now leave the fiftieth milestone in the life and progress of our people and turn our heads northward toward the fifty first, the fifty second, the fifty third and so on, we sincerely hope that each new mile stone in our future journey will be marked with the progress of our people in every line of development known to our civilization. --- It is indeed a pleasing sign of the times which presages a wide spread disposition on the part of the people, to note the frequency with which the male communicants of our various denominations are organizing themselves into guilds, the main purpose of which is to increase the christian efficiency of its members. Not only among the white churches but among the colored as well, the tendency of the times point to the disposition which now possesses the male members of our various churches, to make themselves a greater and more valuable asset to the general work of the church. To note that the male communicants of the various churches of Savannah are apart of this great revival wave which is now touching the male members of our various church organizations throughout our entire country, is indeed most gratifying and encouraging. Within the past few months, several churches of our city, both colored and white, have organized within themselves, church working societies composed wholly of men. With the men of our churches taking a more lively interest in church work and thus identifying themselves more closely with its affairs, we cannot see anything ahead but christian awakening among us more far reaching and potential than any we have ever before experienced. During the past decade, the impression has gone the rounds that the male members of our various churches were too luke-warm in their christian duties, that they did not exercise their full power and influence in bringing their fellow men or companions to the point of having the reverence and respect for the church and her work which would make them feel it to be a part of their duty to affiliate themselves with the same. As a result there has been much comment and discussion anent the dearth of attendance of men at our church services. It has been said that the average man, even those who sometimes serve their churches in an official capacity, look to the female members of their congregation to fill the pews and otherwise look out for the welfare of the churches. The organization of working clubs among men in the various churches of our country which is now taking place with so much frequency will go a long way toward making the male church goers a more valuable and recognized asset to the general work of the church where ever it may be carried on. The local organizations of men in our various.churches ought to receive the greatest encouragement and assistance from the large body of our male inhabitants who are church goers. The members of these local guilds should make it a part of their duty to see to it that nothing will be left undone which will aid in interesting the the large.army of men who do not frequent the church, in church work and its attendant blessings. The churches of our community have cause for much rejoicing over the recent awakening among their male communicants. It is sincerely hoped that the efforts now being put forward by our men will bring forth much good fruit to the glory and edification of the church and all for which she stands. Turning the Negro Back Last week we called attention to the unfortunate change of attitude toward the Negro in regions that formerly were most friendly to him. Now we wish to face the facts in the latest and one of the most serious calamities that has befallen the colored race in the United States. Definite discrimination against our fellow citizens of Negro blood has been begun under the Federal Government. The Southern policy of segregation is being adopted-in the executive departments at Washington. Following emancipation and the granting of citizenship, colored clerks have been employed in all branches of the government service. Important offices have been filled by colorod men. Their record has been highly creditable, and under the merit test of the civil service the colored clerks have increased in numbers and stand unchallenged in efficiency and character. White and colored men and women have worked together for the government harmoniously and on an equal footing. Although evasions of the Constitutions and enactment of unjust laws have deprived the Negro of his right in the Southern states, he has been secure in the employment of Uncle Sam. During the last few months orders have been issued in the Treasury and Post Office Departments which require white and colored employees to use separate toilet rooms, to be separated in lunchrooms, and most of the colored clerks in the Post Office Department have been gathered from the various bureaus and assembled in the Dead Letter Office, in a room where they were separated from white clerks by a row of lockers placed across the middle of the room. One important colored clerk, whose location cannot be changed conveniently, has been screened off, so as to conceal him from the public view and from his fellow-workers. Two or three others have been assigned to messenger service, although having appointments as clerks. Watchmen are stationed at the doors of the toilet rooms to see that colored clerks use the special ones assigned to them on the eighth floor of the Post Office Department Building. In addition to the humiliation involved in segregation thousands of dollars are being lost in time spent in going to the eighth floor from the other floors of a great building occupying a city square, although toilet rooms heretofore used are near to all. In the Treasury Department the toilet rooms assigned to colored clerks are in a corner of the basement, and in this great building similar lost of time occurs. Soon after the issuance of these orders in the Treasury Department segregation signs were posted. Following a protest the signs were taken down, but verbal warnings affirm that the order is in force. Segregation in work has been begun in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Colored clerks who have been reluctant to submit have been admonished sharply, and a state of alarm has spread among the colored employees of all executive departments. The fear that they may lose their positions has led some of those segregated to seek favor from the administration by declaring that they are pleased with the new plan. They dare not protest, but privately they declare their indignation and disapproval. Southern opposition has deprived colored men of some of the few high appointe positions that have been occupied for many years by members of their race. The post of Register of the Treasury and that of the minister to the "black republic" of Hayti are the most noteworthy instances. Meantime Senators Vardaman, Tillman, Hoke Smith and other Southern members of Congress declare their purpose to force race segregation throughout all branches of the Federal Government- Senator Vardaman proposes to introduce a series of bills in December, the ultimate effect of which would be to expel Negroes from all government positions. He says the holding of office is the symbol of sovereignty, and the Negroes must not exercise sovereignty; and then he quotes Alexander Stephen's declaration that slavery was the natural and normal position of the Negro. Two bills have been introduced in Congress to require separate street cars for white and colored people in the District of Columbia. Injustice once started is bound to spread apace. Six months ago a new administration came into power at Washington. It came with promise of a "New Freedom" to all our people, avowing the spirit of Christian democracy. It came under obligation to/many colored voters, who threw aside past political allegiance, worked, for and voted for the election of a ticket the head of which gave this assurance to the colored people: "Should I become President of the United States they may count on me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interest of their race in the United States." A wave of resentment is sweeping through the ranks of those who were relying on this promise and among the colored people generally, especially among the educated and wisest of the race, there are mingled indignation, alarm and grief. They see an evil current in our national life sweeping unchecked atlast into the Federal Government. They see that what the South has done by states in wicked "Jim Crow" laws and bold disfranchisement, has been begun where color caste was hitherto unknown—within the fortress of the nation's liberties. They feel the blighting brand of caste upon their upward-striving race, imposed upon them not because those branded failed in duty or failed in character, but only because of prejudice against the color of their skins. We do not challenge motives in the President. He takes the Southern point of view and has his reasons for it. Those reasons rest upon a fallacy and prejudice. We cannot square them with principles of sound democracy or the Golden Rule. We hope it is not now too late to undo the mischief that has been begun. No sophistry can change the fact that faithful efficient citizens in Federal employ suffer degrading stigma, that the spirit of the nation's fundamental law thereby is set at naught. If there must be a color line in government employ, the self respecting colored clerk will seek employment elsewhere. Only the colored laborer will then be left. Race predjudice and race discrimination in every form are bound to increase and yield their bitter fruit in added handicaps and more restricted opportunities—we fear in more mob crime—if the color line is drawn within the national government. If those who draw the color line prevail, they will undo what Lincoln did. They will destroy what has been given at great cost, what has been earned by heroes with great sacrifice. Colored leaders, including the conservative Booker Washington, who stands with those that voice most vigorous protests, foresee it all, and what they fear is what the Vardamans and Bleasees frankly admit to be their aim. Men jeopardize the nation when they thus degrade a rising race. If one-tenth of all our people are held down, if the opportunities that others have are kept from them, if justice is denied them, they will make trouble for us; retribution is sure to come. Together we must rise or fall, and we and they are pledged to rise. A wave of racial prejudice is sweeping the over the world—in Canada, in India, in Africa, in other lands. It leads to hate and wrong and strife. Shall we make matters worse or shall we now take warning ere too late, and choose the better way, the way of true democracy, the Christian way. This government is the Negroes' as well as ours, colord Americans are our fellow-citizens. The black man is the brother of the white man in the sight of God. What, therefore, is the Christian white man's duty in a time like this! Protest against the wrong; demand justice; keep on demanding it until we win.—The Congregationalist and Christian World.

NEW STORE About President Wilson's Treatment of the Negro What the Chicago Tribune Says "While President Wilson was enunciating a very idealistic foreign policy in Mobile, Mr. Oswald Villard, editor of the Evening Post, a former if not present champion of Mr. Wilson, was attacking him vigorously for the administration's policy of segregating the Negro employees of the government. "Somehow the coincidence is barbed. It would be more inspiring to read Mr. Wilson's declaration that "We must prove ourselves the Latin American's friends and champions upon terms of equality and honor,' if we were not reminded at the same moment by Mr. Villard that Mr. Wilson is countenancing race discrimination in his own country. "That the administration is unable to defend segregation of Negro employees and is perhaps ashamed of its concession to Southern race prejudice is virtually confessed by Secretary McAdoo in his remarkable appeal to Mr. Villard to withhold his criticism as 'an injustice to a just man.' "Mr. Villard was right in refusing to withhold criticism. President Wilson, we are all anxious to believe, is a 'just man,' but if he is he will not ask immunity from criticism for what is a policy of injustice. Segregating Negroes is unjust. It deepens the line of social discrimination against them. It officializes race prejudice. It is contrary to the spirit of the constitution to say nothing of the work of President Wilson's political patron saint, the Declaration of Independence. It has no such pragmatic justification as may be urged for white supremacy when the want of education and moral discipline among the Negroes make their dominance dangerous. It is race prejudice in its least defensible form. "President Wilson is advancing a foreign policy based on the principle that we cannot recognize governments which defy law and build order only on the oppression of the people. In this policy he has the support and approval of the American conscience. But what weight will be given these declarations of policy and principle if President Wilson himself permits, for his political ease, an administrative practice which is not in keeping with the spirit of our own constitution, much less with our declared ideals of human equality.

Mr. Houstoun is too well known in Savannah to need any introduction. He is already succeeding admirable. The Curators ask for him the most cordial, courteous and liberal treatment. Again in behalf of the Curators thawing those who have already contributed, I am respectfully, H. Pearson, Sec'y Board of Curators. Beth Eden Baptist Church Services were well attended Sunday.

FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER ROCKFORD, IA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] A herd of 500 wood buffaloes has recently been discovered in the province of Alberta, Canada. Until this herd was found the species was thought to be extinct. An excellent powder for ridding poultry of lice may be prepared by mixing equal parts of pyrethrum (insect powder) with flowers of sulphur. It is best and most effectively applied by using a powder gun. Every rat that is put out of commission now means a saving of probably 50 or 00 cents in the shape of grain that it would consume or other property that it would spoil during the ensuing six months if allowed to live. The directors of the Wisconsin experiment station have succeeded in perfecting a method of treating wooden shingles with sulphate and phosphate of ammonia, which render them fireproof, the cost of the operation being about $15 per thousand. While the proposition to put bananas on the dutiful list was seriously considered by those having the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill in charge as finally passed, this fruit, which is well styled the poor man's ration, was left on the free list, where it has been for years past. Where one is conveniently located to a beet sugar factory the lime refuse (calcium hydrate), which is a byproduct of the sugar making process, can usually be got for the cost of shipment and loading, and makes an excellent material for sweetening the soil, although not as easily applied as ground limestone. The fancy apples that are produced in the famous western apple growing districts are not only handled with the greatest care, but on warm days no picking is done after 10 or 11 o'clock in the forenoon. This makes it possible to put the fruit in storage at a relatively low temperature, thus reducing likelihood of decay. Along with some other ills, poultry is also subject to tuberculosis, which is doubtless responsible for the destruction of a good many flocks. In most cases the disease seems to affect the liver and intestinal tracts. In case of an outbreak of the disease sick birds should be removed from the flock, and those that die should be burned. A series of experiments which have lately been concluded by the department of agriculture seems to prove conclusively that fresh eggs may be broken, canned and then frozen without losing any of their flavor or deteriorating in any way. Eggs kept in this manner have been tried in various ways and have been pronounced as wholesome food by the department experts. A supply of fresh, crisp celery that will last well into the winter may be had if the plants are taken up from the garden with plenty of earth adhering to the roots and placed closely together in a good sized box in the cellar. They should be given a good watering at first and later at intervals as needed, but care should be taken to apply the water without wetting the tops, which are likely to decay. As a result of a cattle tick campaign in twenty-one counties in Mississippi, which has cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, there has been an increase in the value of beef animals of $2,148,839. So definite have the results of this campaign been that other counties that are still under quarantine are beginning to take notice and will doubtless join the ranks of those who are waging a hard fight against this worst of southern cattle pests. The water glass solution which is used for preserving eggs may be used advantageously a second time provided the solution has not been exposed to the air too much. Deterioration of the solution is indicated by an increasing multitude of the solution and takes place more rapidly where the solution comes in contact with impure air which is heavily charged with carbon dioxide. Where it is possible to do so it is well to seal the cover of the container with maraffin. During the hog cholera epidemic which has been raging in many portions of the corn belt during the past four or five months representatives of distant drug supply houses did a rushing business selling hope to be taken internally which they said would cure this disease. It hardly need be said that money that was paid for these so called hog cholera cures was worse than thrown away. There is no kind of medicine known that, taken internally, will cure this disease. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 9, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Rom. xiv, 7-21. Memory Veres 7, 8—Golden Text, Rom. xiv, 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In our recent lessons in Exodus and Numbers we have had a grand illustration of forgetting self and living for others in the story of Moses, who so patiently bore with and interceded for that complaining, rebellious people for forty years, and yet they so vexed him that the time came when even he failed. All more men have failed at some time, in some way. There has only been one who always and in all things pleased the Father and never sought to please Himself (John viii. 29; Rom. xv. 3; Matt. ill. 17; xvil. 5). He who gave the ten commandments to Israel out of the midst of the fire and afterward wrote them twice on the tables of stone, providing an ark in which to keep the unbroken tables, came Himself as a man and lived on earth over thirty-three years, fulfilling perfectly His perfect law in every detail, in thought, word and deed, for He was the true tabernacle, and ark, and mercy seat, and becomes the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Apart from Him there is none righteous, no not one, but all are under the curse and wrath of God (Rom. ill, 10, 11; Gal. ill, 10; John ill, 36). God did not ask Israel to do anything for Him until He had redeemed them from the bondage of Egypt, and he does not ask the unsaved now to do anything for Him, because they cannot please God (Rom. vill, 7, 8). In the first eight chapters of this epistle the way of salvation for sinners is very plainly set forth. Then follows the special Israel portion (chapters 0 to 11), and then from chapter 12 we have the life that should be lived by the redeemed, the life of love which worketh no ill to his neighbor, a life not conformed to this evil age, but transfigured by the renewing of our minds, proving the good and acceptable and perfect will of God from xil. 1, 2; xill, 10), a life making manifest the Lord Jesus Christ and making no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts (Rom. xill, 14). It must ever be, as His redeemed, "Not I, but Christ." (Lesson verses 7-9; Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10; II Cor. iv, 10, 11; v, 15). A great difficulty with believers generally is the judging of others; the desire and attempt to put others right while we are not right ourselves; the fancied beam in another's eye with only a mote in our own. It would be well for us if we would determine not to judge one another any more (verse 13), but to search and try ourselves until we get more right with God; more self emptied and spirit filled; more occupied with Him with whom we have to do, to whom alone we must give account and at whose judgment seat we must stand as His redeemed ones to give account of ourselves as His stewards (verses 10-12; I Pet. iv. 10; I Cor. iv. 1). This brings up the whole question of salvation and service. We are justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. But we are saved to serve the living and true God, while we wait for His Son from heaven, and for the kingdom of God, which is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, manifesting in our lives day by day something of that righteousness and peace and joy (verses 17. 18; Rom. iii. 24; I Thess i. 9-10). There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, and we shall not come into judgment for our sins, because they are blotted out and shall not be remembered (Rom. vill, 1; John iv, 24; Isa. xliii, 25); but the judgment seat of Christ, mentioned only in verse 10 and II Cor. v, 16, is for believers, saved people, to give account of their service, their stewardship and to receive their appointments in His kingdom, that they may come with Him to judge the nations and to reign with Him while He shall subdue all things unto Himself (I Cor. vi, 2; xv, 23-25). We must distinguish between the three judgments yet future; that for believers only when we meet our Lord in the air; then the judgment of the nations with reference to their treatment of Israel, when He shall come in His glory, bringing His saints with Him, at which time Israel shall be saved as a nation, and the devil shall be bound for a thousand years (Matt. xxv, 31; Rev. xx), both of these judgments at the beginning of the thousand years; then at the end of the thousand years, the great white throne for the rest of the dead who took no part in the first resurrection (Rev. xx). Not seeing the difference between these three judgments, we are constantly hearing and reading of the great white throne before which all must appear, which is most unscriptural and misleading and confusing. The judgment of our lesson (verse 10) is the first of these, for judgment begins at the house of God (I Pet. iv, 17), and only the redeemed will be there. There is much light upon this judgment in I Cor. ill, 11-15, and the thought of the possibility of a wasted life, of works to be burned, even though we ourselves be saved, should lead us to try everything by the question, Will it please the Lord? Forevermore beside us on our way the unseen Christ doth move. That we may lean upon His arm and say "Dost thou, dear Lord, approve!" "Get a STANDARD LIFE POLICY and Then Hold On to It" 5.

Thompson, Agency Director Gambatte's Lost Exe Gambetta, the French patriot, had but one eye. 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." 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 rattlesnake and a little snake known as the coral snake. Of course there are a number of different species of the rattler (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. Historic St. Benjamin St. Paulber's, the city church at the end of Holborn viaduct, whose churchyard is open to the public, dates, as the name implies, from the time of the first crusade. Of the present edifice, which had suffered sadly from "restorers," only the fine tower, one of London's landmarks, retains medieval masonry. From the top of this tower "rich Dodlington," the brother-in-law of Walsingham, threw himself to avoid a chancery lawsuit. "If I do break my neck," said Bacon to Queen Elizabeth, "I shall do it in a manner as Mr. Dodlington did it, who walked on the battlements of the church many days and took a survey where he should fall."—London Chronicle. Oriental Bug Dyes The dyes employed in the coloring of the materials that go to make up oriental rugs have always been the despair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some cases the custom presumes of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one another until the dry season arrived, when the contents of the holes were removed by the dyers, who, grinding all together indiscriminately, made shades that vied with the pigeon's breast in beauty and with the clouds of sunset in variety. 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." Alaska's Boundary. It has cost $1,500,000 to survey the boundary between Alaska and British America. This line is 1,507 miles long. 13. BECAUSE. The Standard Life Insurance Company's policy values rank A1 among Life Insurance Contracts. The most that can be said of any other contract is that "It is as good as the Standard Life Policy." There is nothing that can be better. INSURANCE GEOGRA- When is a man most confused?

The operation of removal of the tonsils is a much more serious one than it is popularly considered and should certainly not be entered upon lightly, but discreetly, advisedly and soberly. Tonsils should not be removed for trivial symptoms. Tonsilotomy is not justifiable simply because the 'tonsils protrude in front of the pillars, or because they look ragged or for occasional sore throat, or because they contain plugs, or because the patient is under ether for adenoids, or for any remote symptoms not of a serious nature, or to protect the child from indefinite infection, or for an occasional attack of simple acute tonsillitis—Boston Surgical Journal. Shaw Dissented. Mr. George Bernard Shaw was once lecturing in London on the benefits of socialism. At the close of his lecture he said he would be glad to answer any questions that any member of the audience might care to put to him. A man rose in the middle of the hall. "I should just like to ask you one thing, Mr. Shaw," he said. "Don't you think that those huge incomes one hears of are all wrong? Don't you think that there should be a law passed to prevent any man having more than a thousand a year?" "Certainly not!" Mr. Shaw exclaimed promptly. "Why, I make more than a thousand a year myself!"—London Globe. --- Among the Masons Opportunity is all the true man asks, equality of chance with the boundless future before him, limited only by his capacity to do and to be. This privilege will not be denied while the humble and mighty meet around the Masonic board as equal guests, and know and feel that prosperity is double, adversity halved, by having with one's fellowmen.—Chester W. Barrows, Rhode Island. ** The true Mason will live a life of perfect harmony which is to obey the natural law. A violation of that law will result in "inharmony" or discord, and the penalties of such violation will be visited upon him just as surely as the sun shines. He cannot escape them.—Missouri Freemason. \*\* There has been on exhibition in Newcastle, England, a Masonic apron, which was found upon the field of Waterloo, after the famous battle in 1815. ** Truth is the watch tower of Masonry. Let us make it her stronghold and fortify it, by God's help, with the truth that is within us. Elevate the standard of Masonry in our communities. Investigate carefully the character of those who seek to cross the threshold, and do it without fear or favor, and solely for the good of the Fraternity. Let the world see that to be a Mason is to be a man of honorable life, with high ideals and pure aspirations. Let us do our duty through life as honest men, maintaining our post, and as the Bard of Avon says, "die with the harness on our back."—Charles A. Conover, Michigan. ** The wise Master will not offend his brethren by over-bearing conduct, nor will he issue unnecessary orders to show that he is "monarch of all he surveys." The old saying that "he governs best who governs least," will apply with special force to Masters of lodges. —Masonic Chronicle. ☆ ☆ It has been said that a man should not become a Mason for business reasons. If the purpose is selfish, he should not. But Masonry and business can walk hand in hand. The man who professes to be religious should carry his religion into his business, but not his business inty his religion. Religion indicates that its followers shall strive to practice true morals. Religion without morals is not the right kind of religion to believe, and less to practice; so of business; it should be conducted on the plane of good morals. The man who is a Mason should carry his Masonry into his business, for Masonry exemplifies the highest type of morals; but he should not carry his business into Masonry. Masonry demands that its members shall be true to a brother Mason and to aid him in every way he can honorably do so. He must not traduce his character nor permit others to do so if he can prevent it. Masonry does not require its members to protect a brother in wrong, but to prevent him from doing wrong when it is in his power to do so. Masonry requires its members to rebuke a brother for wrong and do what he can to help him to walk an upright life. In one sense Masonry requires you to be selfish in your dealings with a brother. If he has goods to sell, which you need, it requires you to go out of your way to patronize him, in preference to another near to you, if the brother can gsve you as good goods at the same price as a nearer customer, not a Mason, can give you. In other words, every Mason should have a reciprocity feeling for other Masons. If you serve him, it is but natural that he will serve you. All Masons ought to be friends as well as brothers. If you do not give preference to your friends and brother, his enemies will not. Thus Masonry and business should go together when you can serve a brother; but Masonry and business should not go together, if you seek to enter its portals for selfish purposes.—Masonic Light. PROFANITY AND MASONRY A Mason owes it to himself and to the fraternity to be clean in his conduct and dealings with his fellowmen. For the man claiming to be respectable who is guilty of using profane language there is neither palliation or excuse. Nothing can be more unbecoming a Mason than the use of profanity. It is offensive to any person of refined sensibilities. The man who habitually violates his obligation and the written law of Masonry by the use of profane language is out of place in a Masonic lodge, and if he does not separate himself from the vice, the lodge ought, after fraternal warning, to separate him from Masonry by expelling him. Such a man brings the fraternity into bad repute with the better class of people.—Oriental Consistory. MASONRY OUTSIDE THE LODGE There are Masons and Masons. There is the Mason who is perfect in his work of the order, always present at the meetings of all the bodies, decorated with charms and pins and rings, the admiration of himself and the envy of the younger brethren. But examine him closely. What is he outside the lodge room? If he is selfish in his aims, hard with his tenants or employees, neglectful of his family, unscrupulous in his business methods, smutty or profane in conversation deaf to the appeals of the needy; if he is any or all of these, that man is no true Mason. He is rather a hindrance to the order. The strongest argument against Masonry is the Mason himself. The world knows, as well as we do, what our order inculcates, and it also knows far better than we realize, whether we are practicing what we profess, and when it sees the divergence between practice and precept, it despises you and the order. The unfaithful Mason is injuring the whole fraternity. As an individual, he may not care what the world thinks of him, but he was sworn to protect the good name of his brethren, and when he brings his own good name into disrepute he is inflicting a most serious injury on every other Mason in the community. As a secret organization, the only knowledge that the world can have of our order is the effect that it has on men who belong to it. If it tends to make them good men, and true, then it will judge well of the institution; if it does not do this the opinion that will be formed must be evil. The only real use Masonry is in the world is in its effect on men outside of the lodge room. Its teachings and rituals, beautiful as they are, are only means, not ends. We are brought to light in order that we may let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father that is in heaven. If we fail to do this, we are untrue to our obligations and unworthy Masons,—Rev.J. Stewart Smith, D.D., in Masonic World. A WRONG PRACTICE We feel that the practice of encouraging young Masons to advance as rapidly as possible through the several degrees of lodge, chapter, council and commandery, in order that they may join the Order of Mystic Shrine, is wrong. Our observations along this line have been that such an one never appreciates what he has passed through, and derives no benefit from the beautiful lessons taught therein. This we know to be the practice of many Masons in different lodges and a sense of duty to their mother lodge and Masonry should cause them to stop the same at once. Grand Master Hallock, of Connecticut. A Mason's first duty is to his family, for, above all things, he should be a loyal and loving son, a devoted and faithful husband, and a wise and generous father The home is the place where the Mason is really needed. This is the place where he proves himself to be a worthy Mason and where he gains the admiration and respect, not only of brethren, but of all good people. This is the place where he has an opportunity to do much towards building up and assisting in maintaining the enviable reputation so long enjoyed by our noble Order—Missouri Freemason. Office-seeking and political methods are contrary to Masonic principles, and have done much to discredit the craft in the eyes of the world.—Masonic Standard. "The Nature of the Beast. "I thought surely you'd sell that lot of sausages," said the grocer. "You praised it highly enough." "I praised it too darned much," said the assistant. "It overheard me and wagged its tail."—New York Post. Waiting. Jack-By the way, how is your suit with Miss Cashleigh progressing? Tom-Slowly. I'm playing a waiting game just now. Jack-A waiting game? Tom-Yes; I'm waiting for her to change her mind. 42 1930 by American Press Association. Royal princes look very much like ordinary folks when you don't know who they are. The boy in the picture is Prince Henry of England, third son of King George V. The prince is in his fourteenth year and, like all the children of the English ruler, he has been trained in a common sense way. Queen Mary is a rather strict disciplinarian and her boys are brought up much as are other English boys of good social standing. When Prince Henry was snapped by the camera man he was tramping; with his brother, Prince George, who is two years younger. The picture was taken in the hills of Wales. Tree Toad's Change of Colors. A correspondent of Farm and Fireside has the following to say about tree toads: "When a boy the writer often read of a wonderful animal, called a chameleon, which was said to have the power of taking the color of the object by which it was surrounded. But he never saw a chameleon and always felt a little "Thomas like" in regard to its existence. However, he has since learned that there is an animal that has some of the powers a. attributed to the chameleon. That is the tree toad. Its life history is similar to that of the toads and frogs in the early stages. "To show these various changes we took one that was found on an old board and placed it in a white pitcher. When placed in it the toad was a dingy brown, but after a few hours in the pitcher it was white with a slight creamy tint and with a few pale brown dots. On being placed in a window beside some green moss it soon took that color. Make the experiment of putting one in various colored locations and see the changes. You will be greatly interested." A Writing Experiment. The following is an entertaining experiment in a party of young people. One of those present is asked if he can write his name and will, of course, answer "Yes." He is then subjected to the following test: He is asked to sit down in a chair, a paper folded several times is placed on his forehead, a lead pencil is handed him, and he is asked to write his name on the paper. As little time as possible to reflect should be left him. If he hesitates he should be told to just go ahead, and in most cases it will be found that he starts writing his name at the left temple and to the amusement of the others present writes it so that it is legible only when held in front of a mirror unless one is practiced in reading reversed writing. Quser Eating. The king or horseshoe crab chews its food with its legs. This is an actual fact, the little animal grinding its morsels between its thighs before it passes them over to its mouth. Rather Curious. The frog, owing to its peculiar structure, cannot breathe with the mouth open, and if it were forcibly kept open the animal would die or sorgocation. Wash Day. Rub a dub dub— Dolly's clothes in the tub. I will wash them so clean and so sweet. While Dolly's in bed With a pain in her head And a hot water bag at her feet. I know she'll be good. She knows if I could I'd soon have them nice and dry. I'll work with a will If she will keep still And not worry me with a cry. I really should take Time enough to make Some pretty new clothes for the child. It's really a shame I'm afraid I'm to blame. And she's really so sweet and so mild. So now, my poor dear, I see it quite clear. It's my duty to make you some clothes. With the wash on the line It will surely be fine To sit and sew while you doze. Good form Points In Wedding Etiquette. With the exception of May, which is considered an unlucky month, and Lent, the quiet season, there is no time of the year when wedding ceremonies are not constantly taking place. As might be expected, the preparations for a wedding take up not a little time and forethought. There are so many small details to be considered, various minor points of etiquette to notice, and a hundred and one things to remember if the actual day is to be gone through by all concerned without hitch or inconvenience. The magnificence or simplicity of the ceremony depends, of course, on the worldly position of the bride and bridegroom, though certainly the present day tendency is toward a rather disproportionate display, as every year presents become more numerous and costly, the bride's trousseau more elaborate, while immense sums are expended on decorations, catering and such like items. The popular fashion of white satin and orange blossoms for the bride's attire still holds its own, though there are occasional innovations made such as the wearing of gold or silver brocade and touches of color on the train, while quite recently, instead of the usual white bouquet or sheaf of lilies, the bride carried a great bunch of crimson roses. For winter weddings muffs of fur, lace and chiffon have replaced the flowers, or sometimes a prayer book bound in white and silver. The invitations are sent out a full three or four weeks beforehand in the name of the bride's parents, the bride-groom supplying a list of those of his own friends whom he wishes invited. As regards the bouquets, those of the bride, bridesmaids and bride's mother are supplied by the bridegroom, who also pays all fees connected with the ceremony. The cost of the reception and the carriages for taking the bride and guests to church are provided by the bride's parents, but the bridegroom pays for the carriage or motorcar to the station after the reception. At one time it was considered incorrect for a widow to be followed by bridesmaids on the occasion of her second marriage, but this rule is often broken. Sometimes, however, the custom of a "matron of honor" is followed instead. The number of bridesmaids varies considerably, four to six being most usual, but two, ten or twelve, or in their place several small children, are often seen. The chief bridesmaid holds the bride's bouquet and gloves during the service, and all the bridesmaids and the parents on both sides follow to the vestry for the signing of the register. Keep Your Hands Quiet. The hands of some people seem to have acquired the secret of perpetual motion. A girl who has this fault should set about conquering it immediately if she does not want to do damage to the nerves of those who have to be with her and wreck her own. The instant she realizes that she is pulling at her hair combs, or collar, or giving her belt a vicious jab, let her stop and hold her hands fixed in her lap, no matter what effort it requires. Look about in the theater, or tea room, or street car. Hardly a girl has her hands in repose. Most are tugging at some article of dress as they talk, or, what is worse, fingering the dress of a companion. The manager of an office where there are many girls had to put up a notice that clerks must not touch articles on her desk when they came to speak to her. She says that one when making a report would pick up a pencil and draw weird figures on the desk blotter. The next hooked paper clips together, making a long chain that the manager had the work of unhooking; another tapped the desk with a pencil during her conversation. In short, scarcely a girl came and stood beside the desk with quiet hands. The wall around a public telephone is another indication that most people while using the line must still be working with their hands, for always there is a mass of pencil scratchings as far as the hand can reach. When Introduced. It is a duty to listen attentively to the name of one who is introduced. Avoid all mistakes by asking politely for the name that you have not heard or that has been mumbled by a thoughtless introducer. "Will you tell me again your name? I was not quick enough to hear it." is a graceful little way of correcting an error. By all means do not guess at a name, nor do not conclude that a man and woman who enter a room and are introduced together are necessarily married. A guest has no right to refuse an introduction under the roof of a hostess who has invited many persons whose private feelings are naturally unknown to her. A courteous acknowledgment, even between unfriendly ones, is due your hostess. After the polite, formal acceptance of an introduction a separation can be effected. But don't forget to save others the embarrassment of an ill-bred display of personal feelings. We make a specialty of framing-diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

The late Mr. John Woodger of Newcastle-on-Tyne and Yarmouth was the fortunate discoverer of this method of treating the herring. The process of producing the red herring is analogous to that of the bloater, the difference being in degree. The "red" variety is more thoroughly salted and smoke dried. The one advantage of this method lies in the preservative quality thereby developed.—Westminster Gazette. Countryman (at the National Gallery)—Why, them's the very same pictures I saw here the day before yesterday! Attendant (dryly)—Quite likely. Countryman—Then that clerk at the hotel is an awful liar. He told me that the pictures was changed daily in all the leadin' picture houses. London Opinion. The perplexing question had arisen many times during their brief matrimonial experience, and again Mrs. Flint asked her young husband if he thought they could get along without the cook. "I think so, dear," he answered. "Why, if the worst comes you can do the cooking, and I can get my meals at a restaurant."—Denver Republican. Tired of Ice. When Admiral Peary was feted in Paris a big afternoon party was given in his honor by the municipal council. After the speeches the president of the municipal council escorted the discoverer of the north pole to the buffet. "What will you take, Monsieur l'Amiral?" asked the president. "Will you have an ice?" "Anything except an ice!" said Peary. Unrequited Genius.

Mrs. Newed—I am in an awful fix, mamma. Mrs. Eaglebeak—What is the matter?

The residents living near the village of Norris, in Henry county, Mo., seem to have solved in a decidedly satisfactory manner the problem of providing high school advantages for their boys and girls beyond those afforded by their district school. They chipped in and hired a university man to take charge of the school, which was located over a store in the village. The equipment was either donated by friends or made by the pupils and their teacher. Four boys and three girls graduated in the first class, that of 1908, and it is interestingly noted that three of these boys and the three girls are now taking agricultural courses in the University of Missouri. The enrollment the past year has been twelve girls and ten boys. The cost per pupil per year for the school privileges thus afforded was $57 at first, and from this it has ranged down to a trifle over $40. Outsiders who wish to take advantage of the school are charged a tuition fee of $30 per year. One of the advantages of this kind of a high school has been the greatly reduced expense as compared with sending the young people away to school. They dress simply, with aprons and overalls much in evidence, while they are under the eyes of their parents, and this seems to serve as wholesome restraint. The plan has worked so well that it would seem deserving of further investigation by those districts that do not at present have high school facilities. SPRAYING THE ORCHARD. AS soon as the leaves are off, which means that the fruit trees are in a dormant condition, spraying may be done for the San Jose scale. If one has but few trees to spray it will save both time and expense to get the prepared lime sulphur, which requires but the addition of water to make it ready for use. Where one cannot get this preparation the solution may be made up according to the following recipe: Slake twenty-two pounds of fresh lump lime in the iron kettle in which the mixture is to be boiled, adding just enough water to cover the lime and keep it from burning. Add seventeen pounds of powdered sulphur made into a paste by adding a small quantity of water. Add about ten gallons of water and boil the mixture for an hour. Only an iron vessel should be used for this purpose. Where steam is available the cooking may be done in a strong barrel by inserting a steam pipe. When the mixture is cooked enough water should be added to make fifty gallons, and then the solution should be strained through a fine wire meshed sleeve or netting. Best results will be had if the solution is applied while still warm, and with a good high pressure pump. A BETTER DAY AHEAD: In all too many sections of the south the one horse or mule outfit is typical of the agriculture that is still followed. In such sections the commercial fertilizer is sowed at the same time the cottonseed is planted, and a yield of half a bale of cotton or less is the rule. In other sections, where the good work done by the representatives of the department of agriculture has borne fruit, the growing of legumes is being introduced to rest the land and restore its fertility, and following such treatment the yield of the cotton crop has been increased to a bale and a half an acre. In the south, as in all other sections of the country, there are still altogether too many agricultural standpatters—men who are perfectly content to grub and drudge along as their fathers did before them, who are satisfied to let what they consider "well enough" alone and who seem to view as a sort of sacrilege anything that savors of new methods. A RESOURCEFUL GIRL Among the more important practical results that have been accomplished by the department of agriculture in its efforts in southern states has been the organizing of boys' corn clubs and girls' tomato clubs. One Georgia lass who belongs to one of these latter clubs not only raises prize tomatoes, but worked as a side line the gathering of tomato worms, which she sold to nearby fishermen at a cent apiece. It is reported that during a single week of the past season she sold 500 of these worms, which netted her $5, and at the same time she freed her tomato patch of its worst enemy. She even gathered worms from the tomato vines of some of her neighbors. This girl and other winners in other southern counties will have their expenses paid to Washington, where they will receive a reward for their good work. SEEING THINGS. The tendency of the human mind to exaggerate is quite laughably shown during a scare which was caused in a neighborhood not far from where the writer lives following the visit of two panthers, whose tracks were said to have been seen in the soft earth of cultivated fields in the vicinity. When the scare was at its height and folks' imaginations were in nice working order a couple of light colored ponies with riders astride had occasion to pass along the road near where these varmints were supposed to have been seen. Before sundown of the same day these two panthers were reported going along this road, each with a man in its mouth. J. C.
