VOLUME XXIX Citizens Discuss Social Work WERE ADDRESSED BY MR. EUGENE KINCLE JONES OF NEW YORK CITY Work of National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes Explained—Very Representative Body Present—Temporary Organization Formed—Mr. Jones Investigates Local Conditions At an informal meeting held Thursday night at the Wage Earners Bank, Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, addressed a gathering of representative Negro citizens on the work of the organization which he represents. Mr. Jones is making an investigation of the conditions of the Negroes in several cites of the south and arrived in the city on Wednesday. Thursday he had a conference with the Directors of the Associated Charities and with Mr. Joseph E. Gray, executive officer of the Chamber of Commerce, and Col. G. Arthur Gordon. Mr. Jones said at the meeting Thursday night that he found the leading white men of this city to be of the finest type he has met and that they are very desirous of doing all in their power to assist in bettering the conditions of the Negroes here. After explaining in detail the work which the league with which he is connected has been doing in New York, Richmond, St. Louis and other places he presented to those present what he thought would be the best way in beginning a similar work here. The ideas offered by Mr. Jones were widely discussed and those present formed themselves into a temporary organization with Sol. C. Johnson as president and Prof. S. A. Grant as secretary. Mr. Jones made it plain that the work of this league did not in any way conflict with that conducted by any other agency, but it took up those features of the social settlement work which were not attended to by other organizations designed to better conditions of the Negro in the city. That Mr. Jones' investigations here will be productive of much good to local Negroes is the opinion of all who have been fortunate enough to learn of his work here. All day yesterday he continued his search into local conditions and will probably leave to-day for Augusta, where he will make an investigation of the conditions of the Negro. At the session of the District Grand Lodge No.18 of Georgia of Odd Fellows held in this city Dr. B. W. S. Daniels was elected and installed Grand Medical Director. At a subsequent meeting of the Executive Board he was not recognized and the incumbent continued in office. An appeal was made to the Sub-Committee of Management and at its meeting held last week the Executive Board of this state was ordered to recognize Dr. Daniels as its Medical Director. This order will likely effect the other officers similarly treated. Dr. Pritchett in Virginia Dr. W. T. Pritchett of the East Side Pharmacy, formerly of Augusta, recently left the city for Cascade Va., on account of ill health. Dr. Pritchett's friends throughout the state will be glad to learn that he is improving.

Savannah By Dr, Booker T. Washington In the "World's Work Magazine," New York City, November 1913—Explains the Tuskegee Idea—Writes of Racial Relationship in the South Dr. Booker T. Washington, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute, writes a special article, "What I am Trying to Do," for the November issue of the World's Work New York City; a series of twelve articles under this title have been published in the World's Work during the past twelve months. The contributors to the series so far have represented every phase of business and educational life—captains of industry and leaders of one kind and another in every field of activity. The World's Work is quite the most representative business magazine published in this country and surveys the whole field of progress from one end of the earth to the other. In the particular article here referred to, Dr. Washington summarizes his life work at Tuskegee Institute; explaining in detail just what he has been "trying to do" in helping to bring about the present progress of the Negro people in the United States. The whole scheme of what has come to be known as the "Tuskegee Idea" is explained so that one can get a pretty good idea of the work being accomplished through Tuskegee Institute. With particular reference to the matter of racial relationships in the South, Dr. Washington writes: "Another thing that I have tried to do has been to bring the white people in the Southern States and throughout the country into what seems to me a proper and practical attitude toward the Negro in his efforts to go forward and make progress. I am seeking to do this not only in the interest of my race, but also in the interest of the white race. "There are in the Southern States nine million Negroes. There are three million Negro children of school age. Fifty-three per cent, or more than half, never go to school only from three to four months of the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play, these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant Negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the chaining, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the Negro, it at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man" "I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the Negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whiskey and cocaine and then expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it. "Still another thing that I am trying to get the people of the whole country to realize is that education of the Negro should be considered not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of business, that, like any other business, should be thoroughly studied, organized, and systematized. The money that has already been spent by states, institutions, and individuals would have done vastly more good if there had been years ago, more thorough organization and co-operation between the different isolated and detached members of the Negro school system in the Southern States. "I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no color line should be drawn in the proportion for life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful clean living. I am trying to get the white people to see that in hundreds of counties in the South it is costing more to punish colored people for crime than it would cost to educate them. I am trying to get all to see that ignorance, pow- SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1913 DELEGATION INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSMAN THATCHER Petition of Colored Citizens Laid Particular Stress Upon Order of Secretary McAdoo Requiring Separate Eating Tables, and on Segregation in the Auditor's Rooms of Post Office Department Washington, D.C., November 8 A delegation of colored citizens representing the National Independent Political League, bearing a protest and petition directed against race segregation in the government service, visited the President on Thursday, and had an audience with him. The petition bore about twenty thousand signatures, from 38 States, mostly colored people, about equally divided between the South and the North. The delegation was introduced by Congressman Thatcher of Massachusetts The delegation was composed of W. Monroe Trotter of Boston, Rev. Dr. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., President of the League, Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, W. Maurice Spencer of Deleware, Thomas Walker of District of Columbia, F. H. M. Murray of Virginia, and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago. W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, was spokesman. He made an extended statement and gave instances of discrimination which had been discovered and insisted that these were calculated to "humiliate and degrade our race and bring it into scorn and contempt," and that it was all the worse since it is being done under the authority of the National government. The delegation said that the President seemed at first inclined to doubt if the matters complained of had any official sanction. But he was hauled a copy of an order issued by the auditor for the Interior Department which explicitly ordered separation on account of color in layatories. Other orders of similar import which had been issued in other bureaus were embodied in the matter left with the President. He then stated that perhaps he was not well posted on the matter. He said that he would go into the matter thoroughly and would endeavor to find a solution satisfactory to all concerned, and gave assurance that segregation had not been decided upon as an administration policy. "It is my earnest wish to see justice done colored people in every matter, and not mere grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every principle of our Constitution commends this, and our sympathies should also make it easy." Commenting on this the petitioners said to the President: "Fairer words were never written and their readers could not possibly have expected their author to countenance the institution of any new policy in his own branch of the Government, now admittedly based on racial prejudice, against them; a policy of caste which no president would dare even hint for citizens of any of the many other racial extractions which make up our heterogeneous population." The petitioners laid particular stress upon the order of Secretary McAdoo requiring separate eating tables, and on the segregation in auditor's rooms of the Postoffice Department, the Navy, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and elsewhere. "Necessity," says the petition, "can not be pleaded as an excuse, for this affront and injury. Afro-Americans and other American employees have been working together, eating at the same tables, and using the same lavatories and toilets for two generations. They have worked in peace and WILL LAUNCH THE NATIONAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Location of School Not Yet Decided Upon—Representatives Of Southern Baptist Convention Recommend That That Body Donate $50,000 Toward School—Reasons Why Cities Should Desire School For the first time in history, two religious organizations in the South, the one white and the other colored, are to unite in an educational project for the Negroes. It is an event that marks the beginning of a new era in the attitude of the two races toward each other. Sutton E. Griggs, educational secretary of the National Baptist Convention, has issued the following statement concerning the movement to daily papers of cities directly concerned: To the Public: The Southern Baptist Convention, white, through a resolution unanimously adopted at its recent session held at St. Louis, Mo., in May 1913, has tendered its aid, moral and financial, to the National Baptist Convention, colored, for the purpose of insuring the successful launch of a National Theological Seminary to engage in the work of furnishing a better prepared ministry to lead the Negro people. The representatives chosen by the Southern Baptist Convention to confer with representatives of the National Baptist Convention have recommended that the Southern Baptist Convention donate fifty thousand dollars as the initial contribution of the white Baptists of the South toward the founding and equipment of the school. It is the purpose of those authorized to act in the matter to locate the school in one of the following five cities: Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; or Louisville, Ky. It is hoped that the philanthropic citizens of the cities named will make offers for a site for the school, and tender such other help as their generosity may dictate. The character of the offers made will have a bearing on the final decision as to the location of the school. There are strong reasons justifying activity on the part of citizens to secure the selection of their city as the home of the proposed school. 1 Beginning with the business side of the matter, attention is called to the fact that the construction and equipment of building, calling for material and labor, and later the feeding and clothing of teachers and students, the business transactions of the thousands who shall have occasion to visit the city because of the presence of the school, will mean ultimately the increase of business done in the city to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars 2 The experience of other cities having Negro institutions of a high order is that such schools help to raise the standard of living, improve the general tone of the life of the race, and greatly reduce the need of police activity in the regions affected. 3 A vital need where there is a mixed population is sympathy and understanding between the races. The co-operation of the two races in the operation of the Tribune RAID HOUSES UNDER WARRANT Sheriff Dixon Says Must Have Authority to Act "Under warrants properly signed and made out, I would raid every road house from one end of Chatham county to the other," said Sheriff Meritt W. Dixon today "but I cannot, on my own initiative, make any raids." Sheriff Dixon had been told that many complaints had been heard lately about the alleged illegal sale of liquor and of disorderly conduct at road houses near Savannah. He was asked if he intended to raid any of these houses, if the complaints were made to him. "It is not left to me to say whether I would or not," said Sheriff Dixon. "I cannot go and break down doors and enter a man's house without a warrant, no matter what the complaint. A man's house is his castle. But, under warrants signed by the solicitor general or any other citizen of Chatham county, I would clean out all of the road houses near Savannah." UP TO COMPLAINTS. So this put it squarely up to whoever complains about the alleged misconduct at the road houses. All they have to do is to sign the proper warrants, and the sheriff of the county is ready to do the rest. "I could not issue any warning to those who keep the road houses," said Sheriff Dixon. Sucli, would be outside of my power." From the expressions of many who have been complaining about the road houses it is thought unless there is a decided change in the way things are conducted at these houses, that raids may be pulled off in the near future.—Press. and as a consequence leadership for the race will hardly come in large measure from that quarter. In the business world competition is so keen and the white race has so much the start that considerable time must elapse before the business life of the Negro will furnish a sufficient amount of material for race leadership. With civic and business avenues furnishing leadership only here and there, the Negro minister is left to occupy the throne almost alone. All the needs of the race press down upon his shoulders. He should be one of the wisest and most enlightened men of his times. The ability of the Negro race to fit into American civilization without affecting it for ill largely depends upon the kind of ministry it has. No work ever undertaken for the Negro race goes more nearly to the core of the whole question of Negro advancement than that of the proper training of the ministry. This hour of the practically exclusive leadership of the Negro ministry is the time of all times to grapple with the question of making true religion the basis of Negro life. 5 American civilization can ill afford, for its own sage, to have enfolded within itself a laggard or dying element, dying morally and spiritually. Vicious crimes, which are but noxious odors arising from moral death, will serve to call forth counter crimes of a vicious order, thus complicating a situation already bad. Eightightened self-interest, freedom from the danger of a life infected by the dead soul of a race, dictates that American people help the saved element among the Negroes—those saved to lives of genuine usefulness, to go forth and save their fellows. It is hoped that this city will make a substantial offer for the school. It is requested that offers assume definite and tangible form, and be placed in the hands of the corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Educational Board on or before March 12, 1914, as shortly thereafter a final decision as to location will be made. Persons desiring further information will be cheerfully furnished the same. Very respectfully, Sutton E. Griggs, Cor. Sec. National Baptist Educational Board. 658 No. Lauderdale, St., Memphis, Tenn. New Pekin Opens Next Week THEATRE ONE OF PRETTIEST IN COUNTRY OWNED BY NEGROES Large Crowds Will Doubtless Witness Informal Opening—Seating Capacity of New House Nearly 1000—Will be Heated by Steam—Next Week's Show Said to be a Corker The new Pekin Theatre will be thrown open to the public during the coming week and the initial performance in the new house will doubtless be attended by a vast crowd. Just what day next week the house will be opened could not be definitely stated, but Manager Stiles is making every possible effort to inaugurate the new house on Monday night and it is not at all without the range of possibility that he will succeed in doing so. However, it can be reasonably assured that if things are not in readiness by Monday night, the middle of the week will unquestionably find the new house the scene of all future activity of the Pekin theatre. The carpentry work on the house was finished during the middle part of the week and the painters and decorators expect to have their work finished sufficiently by Monday to allow use of the house if necessary. The new house is one of the best appointed theatres in the city. It has ample exits, there being ten in all, which can be used by the spectators in case of an emergency. The predominating colors of the interior of the house are deep red, white and mission green. The metal ceiling is white and the wainscoting a deep red, while the wood work is finished in green mission. The house has eight boxes, of the latest design, each accommodating eight persons. The boxes will be elaborately furnished and will be draped with beautiful velvet curtains. Each box is so arranged that parties occupying one box will be entirely seperated from those in another. For the comfort of the patrons in the summer time, the house is adequately supplied with window space and side fans to the number of about a dozen will be used when necessary. The upstairs of the house has a unique arrangement for the accommodation of the little boys. They will be kept to themselves in the upper part of the balcony and will therefore not be in position to annoy the adult patrons. The seats in all parts of the house have been very advantageously arranged and an unobstructed view of the stage can be had from any angle in the house. Work on converting the present theatre into an arcade, an entrance to the new house, will begin as soon as practicable and when it is completed it will be very attractive. For next, week Stage Manager Kenner will produce a musical comedy entitled the "Belle of Ethiopia. There will be about twelve in the cast with Florence Millis and Millie Williams taking off the leading parts. NEGRO DECLINES $40,000 FOR PLANTATION Forty thousand dollars, it is stated, was the round price offered Mr. John Crawford, a worthy and industrious colored farmer, for his fine farm of 1100 acres near Americus, last week, and the offer was at once declined by Crawford. The place is a desirable one and has long been Crawford's home, where he works a large force of laborers and makes good crops. Crawford owns his land and does not owe a dollar upon it, or to anyone else for that matter. He is well off, financially, and with money in the bank he did not see any necessity in selling the old farm to which he is greatly attached. Not many Georgia Negroes have attained the great success John Crawford has attained during his long residence here, or are held in such record. A. T. Jackson, a motorman, white, driving his car at a rapid speed rounding the curve on Barnard and 48th street, was thrown about twenty-five feet. He died a few minutes later. Ice formed here Monday morning for the first time this season. Dealers in near bear, have been notified that they must keep closed on Sunday. The garbage destructor plant will be ready for use February 1. Twelve white boys were arrested for building a bonfire on Oglethorpe avenue and Jefferson street Sunday. The recorder gave them four hours of confinement in police station. The cotton receipts at this port passed the million mark on Monday. Mr. James Furse has been appointed by the Mayor and sworn in as city controller. He begun duty on Monday at a salary of $3,500. There are ninety divorce cases on the docket of the Superior court. Peter Cortino was fined ten dollars by the recorder, for spanking a small boy. Autoists and drivers of vehicles should call at the clerk of council office and get a copy of the new traffic ordinance. M. Rector and L. Sabel were fined $100 00 each for selling beer on Sunday and remanded to the city court. Three white men were fined $500.00 each in the Superior court for violating the prohibition law. On account of the recent charge of Judge Charlton, the grand jury will investigate the selling of whiskey in the County. The stalls in the city market will be sold at auction on December 3. Fifty applications have been filed in the United States Court for naturalization papers. Some will be heard at the coming term if the court. The Shriner's have cancelled plan the for Carnival in the park. They will have a gala week down twon in the business section instead. The mayor has revoked the licences of L. Sabel and M.

Among the Masons: A NOTABLE MASONIC CREED The following is the inscription on a Masonic medal issued by the Grand Lodge of Belgium in 1838, a rule of conduct and a guide to action that, if adhered to by all would make earth a Paradise: Adore the Great Architect of the Universe; love thy neighbor; do no evil; do good; suffer men to speak. The worship most acceptable to the Grand Architect of the universe consists in good morals and the practice of all the virtues. Do good for the love of goodness itself alone; ever keep thy soul in a state so pure as to appear worthily before the Grand Architect who is God. Love the good; succor the weak; fly from the wicked; but hate no one. Speak seriously with the great, prudently with thy equals, sincerely with thy friends, pleasantly with the little ones, tenderly with the poor. Do not flatter thy brother, that is treason; if thy brother flatter thee, beware that he doth not corrupt thee. Listen always to the voice of conscience; be a father to the poor; each sigh drawn from them by thy hard-heartedness will increase the number of maledictions which will fall upon thy head; respect the stranger, on his journey assist him—his person is sacred to thee; avoid quarrels; forestall insults; ever keep the right on thy side Respect woman, never abuse her weakness, die rather than dishonor her. If the Grand Architect hath given thee a Son, be thankful, but tremble at the trust He hath confided to thee. Be to that child the image of Divinity. Until he is ten years old let him fear you; until he is twenty let him love you; and until death let him respect you. Until he is ten years old be his master; until twenty, his father; and until death, his friend Aim to give him good principles rather than elegant manners, that he may owe thee an elightened recitude, and not a frivolous elegance; make him an honest man rather than a man of dress. If thou blushest at thy condition, it is pride; consider that it is not the position which honors or degrades thee, but the manner in which thou dost fill it. Read and profit, see and imitate, reflect and labor, do all for the benefit of thy brethren—that is working for thyself. Be content in all places: at all times, and with all things, rejoice in justice; despise iniquity; suffer without murmuring; judge not lightly the conduct of men, blame little, and praise still less. It is for the Great Architect of the Universe who searches the heart to value his work. A NOBLE MISSION It needs no argument to convince any Mason who is not dead to all his obligations that Masonry has some higher and nobler mission than the mere conferring of degrees; that the work of the lodge-room has a greater scope than the repetition of ceremonies, be they ever so venerable with age or beautiful with sentiment; that the records of a lodge which do not tell us of some good deed performed, some act of charity done for charity's sake, are but the Life Insurance s Method NT OF DEATH CLAIMS Age 21 South Ailanta Ga. 15c. weekly $281.00 months.....$140.50 1913, 10:00 a. m.

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.

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. Ideal Length For Sermon. 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 1807 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.

The special appeal which a committee of three of the Negro Business League is making to the Negro doctors of the city to affiliate with that body should meet with ready response by them. The league is striving to further the interests of the Negro business and professional men of the city, in other words it is endeavoring to awaken race loyalty and race pride and has to a marked degree succeeded admirably. Among the members of the league some of the leading business men, teachers, ministers and laymen, but as yet no doctors. Therefore it can readily be seen why this committee should have been appointed. The Negro doctors need the boosting of the Business League, the Business League needs the affiliation of the doctors. It will be of mutual benefit and it is hoped that the doctors will respond favorably to the invitation of the committee to join the League. The business men have found it profitable to be affiliated with the league and the doctors will likewise find it to their advantage to accept the special invitation which is to be extended them by the committee. The establishing of the Metro politan Bank at Ocala, Fla., during the month of September by Negroes gives to that town the distinction of having the only Negro banking institution in that state. Already the bank is doing a good business and is the pride of thousands of Negroes in its vicinity. The men who are behind the project are among the most progressive and wide awake Negro citizens of the state and that they have struck upon a paying investment may be seen from the fact that the bank is housed in a beautiful three-story building which is paying a rental of more than eight per cent on the money it cost, and the bank gets its rent free. The bank has already received deposits amounting to over thirty two thousand dollars and new depositors are being added daily. That the success of this institution will eventually cause the Negroes in other sections of the state to establish banks of their own is confidently expected. The Tribune congratulates the Negroes of Ocala in the establishment of the Metropolitan Bank and wishes for this institution unbounded success- It is indeed interesting to note the activity which marks the movement of the members of the Hebrew race in their effort to put a stop to all action on the part of others that savor of an anti-Jewish spirit. Throughout the country there are being organized among the Jews, what are being termed anti-defamatory societies, the object of which is to put a ban on all unjust publications and statements concerning the Jewish race as well as to assist in the preservation of the integrity of this worthy people. Such a movement on the part of the Jews, is indeed far reaching and important at this time. To know that there exists a people who have the courage to stand up for their own and insist upon a square deal being given them, is indeed encouraging and inspiring to us as a people. In their effort to fight discrimination and persecution to the bitter end, the Jews have the full sympathy of our entire people. For a long time, their lot has not been dissimilar to ours, hence between the two races there has grown up a mutual sympathy of no mean proportion. Some of our truest and staunchest friends are numbered among the members of the Hebrew race. With the ability which the Hebrew people possess and which they have shown in their business and other ventures, we have no doubt that the present movement which they inaugurated in the defense of themselves and all for which they stand, will result in no little good not only for themselves but for humanity in general. The result of the recent municipal and Congressional election held in many of the cities and states of the East, indicate that the Grand Old Party is fast coming unto its own again despite the overwhelming defeat which it suffered at the polls last November. With the party receiving a poor third in the last National election, it was believed by many that it had seen its best day and that it was only a question of a few days when its complete disintegration would be effected. Yet such has not been the case. Instead of becoming atrophied, the Grand Old Party of Sumner and Garrison and Beecher has been gradually gaining its former power, until it is now almost the same powerful giant that it was in its balmiest days. There has indeed been much talk recently anent the amalgamation of the Republican and Progressive parties. The majority of those who have expressed themselves on this probable amalgamation have not failed to let it be known that if overtures are forth coming from either of the parties that it will be from the Republicans owing to the very poor showing which they made at the polls at the last presidential election. A change of sentiment however, is sweeping the country and the consensus of opinion at the present time is that if there is a dictator tat the proposed amalgamation meeting, that it will be the Republican Party and not the Progressives. Recent developments have proven beyond a doubt that the Republican Party is the truest and best friend of our people, hence, as the party begins to stride again, it is sincerely hoped that our people in every state of the Union will contribute their full quota of strength toward rehabilitation. more inclined to live in accordance with science, in matters pertaining to their health rather than in accordance with custom. The death of Lucretia Williams ought to stand out as a lesson to many of us. Continued From Page 1 harmony and the Government's business has been well executed. Some of the very Afro-American clerks taken from rooms where Americans of other ancestries worked, or from seats in juxtaposition thereto, have worked for twenty-five and thirty years. They did so through two Democratic Administrations. These Democratic Administrations were nearer the abolition of slavery of Africans than yours, Mr. President. The same efforts to inaugurate this segregation in Government service were made under your illustrious predecessor, the late President Grover Cleveland, and were stopped by his order, as we trust they will be in short order by yourself." At a mass meeting under the auspices of the League on Friday night, which packed the large Nineteenth Street Baptist church, the delegation made a full report. At this meeting it was urged that the sending in of signed petitions be continued. It was also advised that letters of protest be sent to congressmen and senators by colored citizens everywhere. Lively Campaign On The campaign to raise funds for the building site of the Colored Public Library goes merrily on, and the prospects for bringing it to a success seem bright. Indeed, if every church, secret order, civic and social orders should rally to the cause, success is assured at once. Every individual should give something to this worthy cause, in fact, should strain a point to aid the good work, remembering that every little bit helps. Mannie Houstoun has secured a permit from the mayor and chief of police to take the stump in Yamacraw. Frogtown, Currietown, Brownsville, Lovers' Lane and the Old Fort, and he invites the local orators to join with him and carry the campaign to the doors of the people in those sections. Much interest is centered in the coming quartette contest and debate which takes place at the Fort church, Monday night November 24. 1913. Admission 10 cents.

Churches Mr. Randolph Churchill, lay preacher, lecturer, and writer, of New York, will speak at St. Philip A. M. E church Church, Charles and West Broad streets, Sunday 11 a.m., the public is invited. He will speak at St. James Tabernacle A. M. E. church, corner Arnold and Perry streets, Sunday 3 p.m. and at St Philip Monumental church, 562 Hull street, Sunday night, to which the public is invited. Mr. Churchill has traveled extensively and he is a wonderful speaker. The citizens will do well to hear him. Thousands flock to hear him at his meetings in New York city. Experience in building a Negro schoolhouse in Alabama has taught the following things: (1) That, after all, the colored people are not so hard to lead if the leader proves himself safe; (2) that the white people are willing to help any worthy cause for colored people, provided the latter start on the right line and first attempt to help themselves; (3) that, as a whole, colored people are generally liberal in giving of their small means in support of education for their neighbors' children. But a new school building has in nearly every case only marked the beginning of the struggles of the colored people for better educational facilities. True, it has brought them together as one, in that it has taught them to want something more and has taught them confidence to execute. Thus they have added by their own efforts one or two months to their school term, which means extending it from five or six to seven or eight months. They have increased the salaries and comforts of their teachers and have made efforts to secure teachers who are competent and who will stay with them; for some how they have grasped the idea that a good teacher is a commercial asset. They have gone on raising money to buy land for school gardens, and to purchase books, tools, utensils, and lumber for extending their buildings, in order that their children may be instructed in useful trades. The attitude of the people in many of these localities is both interesting and highly encouraging. The proverbial sneer of the Southernner at Negro education i not seen here. Some of the white people give money, some nails, some lend their mules and wagons to aid in hauling the lumber. Better than this they actually attend many of the exercises held at the schoolhouse--Southern Workman. Marriage Invitations Out Invitations are out announcing the marriage of Miss Nancy Rosalie Walker to Mr. Edward Garey Bryant, which will take place November 19th at six o'clock in the afternoon at Mt.

Shortly after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bryant will leave for this city and will be at home to their friends after November 27th at 829 38th street, east. Rohinson Kent Mr. Albert Kentand Miss Helen Robinson were married on Wednesday night last at the residence of the bride by Rev. Wm. Gray. The ceremony was witnessed by the family and a few intimate friends. Browne-Jones A quiet wedding of much interest to her many friends in Savannah, was that of Miss Mattie H. Browne, grand-daughter of Mrs. Lydia Browne of 516 east Anderson street, to Dr. Cecil N. Jones, of New York city, which took place October 17th, at St Augustine's Episcopal Church, Asbury Park, N. J.

A Card of Thanks We are deeply grateful to the friends for their tender expressions of sympathy and thoughtful consideration shown in so many ways, in the hour of our bereave ment. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph DeRoach. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Gadsden- St. Philip Dots Rev. Sigleton preached at 11 a.m. on last Sunday. The subject of his discussion was one that everybody should take heed and try to live up to. On account of the blustering weather on Sunday our congregation did not come out to services. Sunday was pledge day, a great many did not pay as they have pledged to do. Remember that when you pledge to pay or do anything for the church you are not only pledging to man but you are making an obligation to God. What about your Dollar Money? Only two more weeks and Rev. Singleton's time will be up at St. Philip. The church can not afford to be behind. Those who failed to attend the sacred concert at the church on Sunday night missed a musical treat. St. Philip musical club is composed of some of the best talent in the city under the leadership of Mr. J. H. Whits. All that took a part in the concert did well. The singing of Mr. George Carse and Miss Rosa Collins was very good. We say this because they are just entering in the musical world and making rapid progress. The following services will be held on tomorrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a.m. preaching at 11 a.m.; Sunday School, 3 p.m.; A. C. E. League, 7 p.m.; preaching at 8:15.

Confetti Showers the Talk of the Town Again the name of The Savannah Home Association can be heard mentioned in any part of the city that you may go. It is due to their successful efforts in the past in giving to the public entertainments that were full of merriment. On account of their high class manner of entertaining, the Confetti Showers which will be staged by them at the Harris street hall on Tuesday night have become the talk of the town, and already many are clamoring to secure their admission tickets. Never before has such an unique affair been held in our city and it will be pleasing to witness it. A cordial invitation is extended to you. The price of admission will be 25 cents.

An- derson of St. Paul, Minn, In Memoriam In loving memory of our loved one THOMASINA WILLIAMS HEN- ”DERSON, Who died November 13th, 1910, “In the midst of life we are in death,” said the prophet of old; and to ourdear one this Prophecy «was well applied. When her life seemed just in its infancy, and ambition was beckou- ing her onward, death intervened and bore on its mysterious pinions, the soul of our loved and devoted ‘“daugh- fer.” Cn a calm moonlight. night, hand in hand with early dawn, the heavenly day came to this child of God, and cut short an existence which was our pride and comfort. Tho’ three years have passed her image is reflected all around us, and in our meditatious we miss her pres- ence, counsel and advice. | We bow in humble submission to the will of “Him who doeth all things well,’’ aud find consolation in knowing that death is only a dream,” and after the glad awakening, we shall be with her for aye. Her devoted family. In memory of our dear son and brother, JOSEPH DOOLEY, . Who departed this life November 12th, 1912. Gone but not forgotten. Sleep on, beloyed, sleep, And take thy rest, Lay down thy head upon The Savior’s breast. We love,thee well, but Jesus Loves thee best, Good night! good night! good night. Mother, Mrs. Lula Dooley, Sister and brother. In sad and loving remembrance of my dear daughter, LILLIE B. WOODSON, Who passed to her everlasting rest on the morning of Nov. 11th, 1912. All is dark within our home, And lonely are our hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed away, “2 She suffered and murmured not Though far away she is not forgotten, ‘The Lord doeth all things for the best, And taketh her home to rest Safe upon the heavenly shore, Doue with ali praises forever more. When the shadows of life has ended, When the morning come and busy world has hushed, And the fever of life was over ‘And her work on earth was done, On the calm and quiet rest, On hertloving Savior's breast, Perfect peace supremely blest, Safe forever more. Storms shall never reach her there, In that beavenly mansion fair . From the wells.of our hearts_arise tears of regrets, Though she sleeps beneath thesod, I can never ‘forget. But when we cross that deep and dark, And reach that bright and’happy land. Our loving one will greet us, And welcome us over there. ‘Mrs, Mollie Woodson, mother, Mrs. Rosa Smalls, sister, Miss Diana Woodson, ‘* Miss Viola Woodson, “* Mr. Jas. F.

The object is te eall country wide attention to the apple as an important fruit and to its relatively low cost. One of the aims ef the campaign is to see that every- body cats an apple on national apple day. A speaker at the recent meeting of the National Meat Packers’ association predicted that within ten years the better cuts of steak would be retailing at $1 per pound. If this comes any- where near being fulfilled it gives promise of a handsome return for the farmer who sticks to the stock raising business year in and year out. About the cheapest kind of bypocrite there is s the person who fs uniformly courteous and pleasant to strangers, but who is short and sbarp and incon- siderate with the members of his or her own housebold. The fraud in con- nection with this Kind of business is that such people want their neighbors to think them one thing when In reali- ty théy are quite different. Reports from many sections in the New England states seem to point to ‘the fact that, while many ef the small- er orchard tracts and some of the larzer ayo been sadly neglected, yet those whe have carefully pruned and spray- ed thelr trecs and hare given the cul- tivation and fertilizing which condi- tions required have been well repaid for their efforts In generous yields of aaarketable fruit.

There fs no need as yet, how- ‘ever, to fear that the supply ef fles iwill be entirely exterminated and thus swipe ont the useful service a few of ‘them render 2s disintegrators of waste degaying manurial and vegetable mat- ter. ee | Where serghpm has been grown for feed it should be cut new md put in | medinm alze$ cocks and fed frem these. It will not stand stacking in large masses, as {s done with hay and dry fodder corn. owing to its tendency to ferment*and spoil.

This plowInz turns up lots of insects that are in }thetr winter quarters, exposing them to the weather and bird Ife, while the action of the frost and alr upon the soll thus turned up fs beneficial. __ A supply of lettuce may be proyiiled _which will last well into winter by set- ting small plants in boxes and placing them where they will be prote: ted from hard freezing. Later the buves should be taken Into the house and placed where they will get plenty of ght and the plants watered fre- quently. In sections where crickets cause trou- ble by gnawing the twine bands with which grain is bound the matter may De overcome by soaking the balls of twine in kerosene or in a solution made by dissolving two pounds of bluestone in twelve gallons of water. The crick- ets will Jet twine alone that is treated im this manner. | Most cases of the polsoning of cattle that are allowed to pasture on fields of forage which have been stunted by ‘drought during the summer months and lave started to grow a second time seem to be caused by prussic acid, which is developed in small quantities in chemical changes which take place following such growth. ‘The other day it was decided that hereafter with every marriage license in Cook county, IIL, a cookbook will be presented to the couple about to be married. This will help some, for if there is one thing more than another calculated to give a young husband the jimjams maritally it !s sogsy and sour bread and biscuits before the honeymoon is over. Not the least of the ils connected with the large shortage in the 1918 corn crop is an unusually bigh price, which will tend.to discourage the feed- ing of the cereal to the farm animals. The prime cause of the depletion in fertility of so many American farms bas been the selling of the products tn the raw instead of in the finished form of Lutter, pork, mutton and beef. ‘The carrots should be taken up and stored in the cellar before the heavy freezing weather comes on, while the parsnips and salsify will be of firmer texture if they are left until just be- fore the ground freezes. Some of the two last named vegetables may be left in the ground all winter and dug when the frost goes out. If the roots put in the cellar are placed in moist sand and not allowed to dry out they will not shrivel and will keep their favor and texture much longer. In the state of Missouri a plan has lately been put in eperation, following the passage of laws requiring it, where- by the state pays $15 a mile for the dragging and maintenance of all roads in the state conpecting county seats, but the aid is given only to thoxe coun- ties in which the roads have beea im- proved te the point where they are ac- ceptable to the state board of rood roads, In other werds, the state alds those counties which show a dispos!- tion to help themselves. It would be Interesting as well as surprising to know how many ef the Ms as well as how much of the poor condition of domestic animais are more or less directly traceable to stale or musty food, impure water and lack of fresh air during those months of the year when close housing is necessary. Not all‘of the conditiens referred to exist at the same time or continue through the whole year, but on a good many farms they prevail to such an extent a3 to cause a good sized leak in the farm income. How often In suggestions that are given for the care of animals or poul- try In which a disease bas appeared the direction is given to remove sick animals from the well. Of course the sick must be separated from the well, but in many cases it fs far better to remove the well animals or poultry from those that are sick and, what is ‘even more important, from the eondt tions under which it has been peasible for disease te develop.

Permers VANCES nu SSs sould be in the banda ef every fapmer who hos & job of fencing to do. It takes ep simply, yet in detail. practical metbods for treating wooden posts with pre- servatives which will prolong their period of service. Outfits for treating posts In the mantier mentioned cost from $10 or $12 for simple homemade barrel outfits to $50 for tank outfits with bricked in fireplace in which the posts can be laid°down full length. ‘The most satisfactory results in treat- Sng posts seem to have been had with Pine, cottonwood and willow, posts, this being due to the cheapness of the post material and the greater capacity of these Ughter~woods for absorbing the preservative material. Before posts are treated all bark and fiber should be removed and the posts thor- oughly seasoned. Usually this is ac- complished in the case of five inch posts following exposure to the weath- er for a perfod of from six to eight weeks. In the experiments described in the bulletin the best results were secured by first giving the posts a bath In hot creosote from one to three hours, depending upon the kind of wood, and following this with a bath in cold of] for from one to two hours. ‘The result of the preservative -treat- ment 1s definitely shown in thie case of lodgepole pine in Idaho. Untreated posts, costing 6 cents each, Jasted four years, while treated posts, costing the same and given a creosote bath cost- ing 15 cents, lasted twenty sears. Fig- uring the cost of setting as 12 cents in both cases and figuring .6 per cent interest on the investment, it makes the annual cost of the untreated post 5 cents and of the treated post 3 cents per year. A postal addressed to the department of agriculture at Washing- ton will place this bulletin in the hands of any farmer who may desire it. SKIMMILK FOR HENS. Some very Interesting evidence of the value of skimmilk as 2 ration for laying hens Is contained in = contribu- tion to Hoard’s Dairyman from the ‘proprietor of a large New York poultry farm. He became convinced of the wisdom of using skimmilk as a part of the ration for the hens and during April, May and June fed on an average about 250 pounds of skimmilk per day to 1,600 hens. By a mistake in Instruction the milk was fed to other stock for a week or two, and at once there was a decline in egg production from sixty-two dozen eggs per day to thirty-elgbt dozen, the loss directly due to the omission of the milk betng twen- ty-four dozen, which, at 31 cents per dozen, were worth $7.44, This. divided by the 344 pounds of skimmllix which were being fed per day, rives $2.16 per hondredweight as the value of the skimmilk as an egg prodacing ration. It might be contended by some that the slump was due to other causes, but this Is disproved by the fact that as soon as the milk was resumed as a part of the ration the daily production of eggs again increased from thirty- eight to sixty-six dozen per day. THE APPLE SHOW. The sixth national apple show and fruit products congress, which Is to be held at Spokane, Wash., from Nov. 17 to 22, promises to.be one of the most valuable yet held from the standpoint of the program of addresses and dis- cussions which 1s being arranged. Bach subject discussed will be opened by men of recognized authority and experience in that particular line, while the discussion following will be by practical fruit growers presént. Among some of the subjects already selected for discussion are: The standardized pack, utilizing lower grade fruits in by- products, storing fruit for market, financing the fruit crop and co-opera- tive marketing, considered as a vital necessity to the individual grower and to the future ef the apple industry. A GLASS HOG HOUSE. A Kanses hog ralser some three or four years ago built a class hes house at a cost of about $2,000, it being his contention that hozs need a rood deal more sunshine than they usually set This house contains sixty-two pens that are six by eight feet in size. Bach pen is connected by a sliding gate with an eight foot alleyway which runs the entire Jength of, the house and in which the Uttle pigs cam exercise Each sow is marked as she ie given a pen, and a record is kept of the num- ber and individual thriftiness of the pigs in ber Utter. In making the kouse double glass was ysed, and the owner Teports that it never freeses ta’ this glass hog house. He says If he were to build another hag house he would build it like this ene. BUTTERMILK PAINT. A very satisfactory as well as eheap paint fer rough uses may be made ac- cording to the following recipe: Take one gallon of buttermilk and to it add three pounds of portland cement and enough venetian red or otber-pigment to give the desired coloring. The palnt should be applied as soon as possible after it is made and should be stirred frequently while being applied, as the cement, being heavy, tends to settle to the bottom of the pail. If the paint has five or six hours in which to dry after it is applied it will shed water very effectively. Howerer, it does not produce a glossy color and will not be found successful for the better kind of work. Aehy INSUBANCE GECGGEA- PAY When is a man inest confused! When be misees his train.

Moses continued until the eleventh or twelfth month. He be gan his rehearsal in the eleventh month of the fortleth year (Deut. 1, 3) and continued until the time of his depart- ure (chapter xxxi, 3, 2. We woald like to call attention to many things In these closing chapters, but wil! tirst consider our lesson chapter, the tirst tour verses of which tell us how the Lord showed him from the top of Pis- gab, over against Jericho, all the land which He sware to Abraham, to Isaac 2nd to Jacob to give unto their seed. but which neither Moses nor Aaron could enter because of his rebellion against the word of the Lord at Mart bab (Num. xx, 12, 24). It te written that Moses pleaded with the Lord to allow fim to go over the Jordan and See the cood land. but the Lord would not bear him and said to him, “Let St sufice thee: speak no more unto me of this matter" (Dent. Ill, 2327). And this because he had spoken unadvisedly with his lips, having allowed bis spirit to be provoked, and tad smitten the rock Instcad of speaking to it as God had commanded. .Many 2 time he bad prevailed with the Lord in prayer for this rebellious people, and now because of them his request for himself is denied. Yet God is love, and love is kind. Well might the psalmist say, “If Thov, Lord, sbouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?” (Ps. cvi, 32, 33; exxx, 3) We cannot bat think of Him who did not save Himself in order that He might save us. Of this very event, | His decease at Jerusalem, Moses and Elijah talked with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration some 1,500 yeara after the event of our lesson (Lake ix, 30, $1), Of all the events that have tver transpired on our earth none can compare; with those of Goigotha. Though ‘thero have been many fore- shadowings, the mind of man cannot grasp the awfal realities of that day apd the Son of God, suffering for the sins of the world. So Moses, the servant of the Lerd. lied, but°there was nothing sad in ach a death. It was a release from the ong conflict with the world, the flesh ind the devil and a golng home te tay with God, whom he bad long mown faceto face. There was neither ickness nor suffering; bis eye was not lim nor bis natural force abated (verses + 7,10), Aaron bad no sickness (Num. xX, 25-28). Sickness fs not necessary o death. Do we not see it all about 3 and read of it in the papers every lay, whether it is called by the name f heart failure or some other name? cven should it be a violent death our ord said, “Fear not them which Kill he body.” And we are elsewhere aught that to die Is gain.

Royal princes look very much like ordinary folks when you don't know who they are. The box 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 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. Queer Eating The king or horseshoe crab chews its food with its legs. This is an actual foot, the little animal grinding its morsels between its thighs before it passes them over to its mouth. Rather Curious. The freq. owing to its peculiar structure, cannot breathe with the mouth open, and if it were fiercely kept open the normal would die of suffocation. Wash Day. Iub a dub dub— Dolly's clothes in the tub. I will wash them so clean and no 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 no sweet and no 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 sow white you doze. SMARTLY MODISH. Match Your Dressy Hat With a Scarf. OP CHIPFON EDGED WITH OSTRICH. Now that women are wearing frocks cut so low at the neck for every occasion both indoors and out the scarf for protection against the wintry winds is almost a necessity with street costumes. Of course, milady envelops her pretty throat in handsome furs, but at church, the matinee and the like, there are apt to be drafts, so one ingenious couturier has sent along with his chic little hat a scarf of chiffon edged with ostrich. These scarfs, in addition to protection, are very smart and stylish. Housekeeping Tips If after scrubbing out the cupboard it is then sprinkled with water in which tobacco has been steoped and then with a little spirits of camphor moths will never appear. To cleanse a frying pan which smells of onions or fish fill the pan with water and when it bolls drop in a red hot cinder. Afterward rinse and wash in the usual way. When making pies in a hot kitchen fill a bottle with ice water and use it for a rolling pin. The pastry will be delicate and flaky. A long, smooth, round bottle should, of course, be chosen. Three tablespoonfuls of baking soda in a quart of water applied with a rough cloth will remove the old varnish very easily when you wish to revarnish furniture. The All Important Tango Prock. When once speaks of dance frocks this season the model designed to tango immediately suggests itself. Such a hold have the Argentine dances upon the teri-sichorean public that to dance is to turkey trot, fish walk, etc. Naturally these strenuous efforts require a frock which gives perfect free- M. IN SHADES OF YELLOW CIRCLE. dom to the body. Therefore corrects are abandoned for the girdle by dancing votaries, low heeled or no heeled footwear replaces the French dancing slipper, and the frock must be slit at the sides to make the "dip" possible. The dancing gown pictured is a charming affair in which to tango gracefully. Several shades of yellow, toning from a pale lemon to almost a flame color, are artistically combined in its construction. Although they are making less return during the molting period than any other, the hens should have the best possible care, for it is a season of restoration and rejuvenation. In the beginning of which at least the physical tone is apt to be low. One who has tried it recommends a mixture of ten pounds of bicarbonate of soda and a bushel of sawdust or sand as an excellent material for extinguishing a blaze of gasoline. In this connection it is well to remember that water simply scatters a gasoline blaze, but will not put it out. As the writer thinks back on his boyhood days he remembers that he had a very warm spot in his heart (or stomach perhaps it was) for the Tolman sweet. It was mighty appetizing in the raw when he came in hungry and when nicely baked and dressed in rich Jersey cream was fit for a king. While the past season has not been favorable for some kinds of garden truck, the writer finds an exception in the case of tomatoes. Never has he picked larger or finer fruit from vines that were given just average care. And ripe fruit from this same patch was still being used on the table on the 11th of October. Those who have grown sweet potatoes for the first time this year should remember that the tubers ought to be thoroughly dried out before being stored. In sweet potato storage houses a temperature of from 90 to 100 degrees F. is maintained until the drying process is completed, after which the temperature is reduced to about 50 degrees. Some shingle roofs that the writer knows of are still giving very good service after thirty-two years. It hardly need be said that these shingles, which have shed rain and snow for nearly a generation, were not the kind of shingles that are on the market today. Neither were the nails which were used in nailing them on like the shingle nails that one can get today. One of the last jobs for a bright, warm day in the orchard is looking over the trees and making way with any borers that can be found, whose presence is indicated by the brownish, sawdust-like excreta which is usually thrown out of an opening in the bark close to the surface of the ground. A sharp jackknife and a wire or pliable peeled twlg are the only tools needed. If reports are correct the lands lying along the seacoast in Washington and Oregon have a future as cranberry growing districts. The soil and moisture conditions are all that could be asked, while the mild winter temperatures give a very favorable condition. Cape Cod growers who have bought land in the districts mentioned have started cranberry farms and are meeting with a large measure of success. For some years past practically 10 per cent of eggs that have been shipped to the new York market have been created many of these have been used. An effort is being r the direction of the departriculture to put a stop to this by getting those who handle om farm to market to exercise care and to design a shipping passage in which the breakage will be greatly reduced. If any rabbits have been breeding this season about the place it is none too soon now to begin to shoot or trap them for stews or fries for the table or for providing a meat ration for the heens. Allowed to live into the winter, these rodents are almost sure to raise hob with the younger orchard trees or with the raspberry or rosebush canes in the garden, both of which they relish when the snow is deep and other green food is scarce. As soon as the trash in the garden gets dry enough it will be a good idea to rake it up and burn it. This will destroy a good many weed seeds and will also expose to the action of the elements and to the birds and poultry a good many insects of one kind and another. If the garden has not been plowed in the fall for some time it would be well to plow it. This will get rid of a good many more insect pests and will expose the soil to the action of the elements during the winter months, which will be found beneficial. Many an orchardist who this year kept up clean cultivation until well toward the 1st of August has seen the yield he looked for cut down threefold or more, due as a result of the unusually dry weather that followed. This condition noted was greatly aggravated by the unusually warm and dry conditions which prevailed the latter part of June and early July, following a fall and winter season that had been the dryest in years. Should such conditions prevail again cultivation should be continued clear up to picking time, or well late September. A friend who this year used nitrogen on his alfalfa seed just prior to sowing it early in August has a remarkably even and vigorous stand of the legume. Those who have seen this field and also new seedings of alfalfa in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma report it to be as fine as any alfalfa fields in those states, where conditions are considered more favorable for the proper development of the legume. The treating of the seed with this nitrogen culture places with it as it is put into the ground the bacteria which are favorable to the transference of the nitrogen from the air to the root nodules. 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 so. The bridesmaid holds the brides t and gloves during the sorter l the bridesmaids and the pr both sides follow to the vestry signing of the register. Your Hands Quiet. The habits 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 invoked by a thoughtless introducer. "Will you tell me again your name?" I was not quick enough to hear it. In a gravest 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. PICTURE FRAMES We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.
