On the first day of the Conference, which is given over to the farmers, the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration of Negro farming will be held. The subject for the Farmers' Conference is "Fifty Years of Negro Farm Life." The Conference will open with a parade, showing the improvements that have been made in farming in the past fifty years. Among the features will be the Negro farmer of a half century ago with his cob pipe, ox and wooden plow. The improvement in Negro farming will be shown principally by implements and products. The wooden plow will be followed by another old-t...e farmer with a small mule and a scooter plow. Then will come a more up-to-date farmer with a good mule, but still a one-horse plow. Next in the parade will be a two-horse plow to be followed by a four horse gang disc harrow, roller, seed drill, mower, binder, thrasher, gasoline engine, corn harvester, cotton stalk chopper, and other modern farming implements. Another special feature of the parade will be fine hogs, horses mules and cattle. Floats will show girls dressing vegetables, trees being sprayed, fruits and vegetables being canned, milk being separated and tested, and girls making butter. After the parade the farmers will assemble in the Chapel of the Institution and discuss improvement in methods of farming during the past fifty years, how the homes of Negro farmers have been improved, and improvement in the rural schools and rural churches. THE CONSERVATION OF NEGRO HEALTH In order that the Workers' Conference, in contrast to the Farmers' Conference may have a forward look and that a wide interest may be created among both white and colored in the South, the subject for the Workers' Conference will be "The Conservation of Negro Health." 1. The annual economic loss to the South because of sickness and disease among Negroes. (a) On the farm. (b) in the town. Some ways of conserving Negro health. (a) On the farm. (b) In the town. Every Negro organization in Alabama—medical associations, education associations, church organizations, secret societies, etc. has been invited to send representatives to the Workers' Conference The Workers' Conference program is especially appropriate at the present time because of the interest that is being manifested every where in the conservation of health. Of particular interest is it to the Negroes of the country, for it is estimated that every year sickness and death cost them $60,000,000 of which it is said that by means of preventable remedies at least $20,000,000 of this amount might be saved. Dr. Booker F. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, has invited interested groups of individuals to be present and to participate in making the coming conference one of notable interest and value. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Henry Thompson announce the engagement of their niece, Effie; of Savannah to Mr. John Griffin of Augusta, Ga. House Warming On Wednesday night Rev. D. D. Mills gave a house warming at his new home at Laputersville, Thunderbolt. About fifty guests were present and the affair was a most delightful one. The funeral of Mrs. Alice J. Whitmire, wife of Rev. N. H. Whitmire, took place at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin Square, on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Whitmire had been sick about a month, and died last Saturday morning. The funeral was largely attended, and the officiating minister was the Rev. Wm. Gray. Rev. Theodore Hawkins preached the funeral sermon and short talks on the life of the deceased were made by Revs. E. H. Quo, J. S. Irby and A. W. Bryant. The deceased was 67 years old and a native of this city. Beside her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Manie Whitmire Duckett; a sister, Miss Laura T. Carlisle; Mr. Thomas W. Tindsley and a host of friends. The floral offerings were beautiful. Capt. Edward A. Williams died at his residence 910 Burroughs street, early Wednesday morning of last week. Capt. Williams had been in declining health for some time, but his sudden death was a shock to the community. Capt. Williams was one of the best known Negroes of the city and during the time of the Colored State Malitia was captain of the Forest City Light Infantry, a few years prior to their disbandment. He was a native of this city and was very highly thought of by all who knew him. Capt. Williams was a member of of the Mutual Beheyolent Society and the First Congregational Church, whose pastor, Rev. W. L. Cash conducted the funeral services, from the home on Thursday afternoon, the 11th. The deceased is survived by a wife, Mrs. Josephine Williams; four children Miss Annie Mae William and Messrs. Edward C., Albert and James Williams; and a brother, Mr. Alex Rannair. The floral designs were many and beautiful. The pallbearers were Mr. P. A. Denegal, Prof. J. H. C. Butler, Mr. Elm Irwin and Mr. Sol. C. Johnson. On Friday morning Dec. 12th, 1913 the death angel bore to its final resting place the angelic soul of Mrs. Nancy R. Cain of 1215 Bolton street, east. Mrs. Cain was ill 21 months. During her illness she was always cheerful and bore her affliction with patience, ever ready to speak of the time when she would depart where sorrows are no more. During her illness her devoted husband gave her every attention that medical science could give. She passed into the shadow world, leaving a record of good deeds done that will live forever. Her funeral was held at Butler Presbyterian Church, Dec. 13th, Rev. S. T. Redd officiating. In befitting words he spoke of Mrs. Cam as a faithful and devout christian for five years. She was formerly president of the King's Daughters. Rev. Redd spoke of her many sterling qualities and her willingness to speak of her soul's welfare made it a pleasure to visit her. Mt. Sier Lodge No. 3588 and C. D. Creswell Court were out in numbers and the beautiful floral design told plainly the decease's worth to the orders. She leaves a devoted husband, a loving sister and friends to mourn her death. The remains were shipped to her home for interment. Cameron, Ga., in Charlestown cemetery. Mr. Thomas N. Delaware died on Friday night of last week at the residence of his parents, 512 Hartridge street. Some weeks ago he underwent an operation which was successful and apparently he was improving, but he was overtaken by the grim reaper. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the First African Baptist Church, of which he was a member. The service was conducted by Revs. A. W. Bryant and J. H. Rogers. A large course of friends was present The remains were accompanied to the last resting place by Feay Cos, K. of P., and Dominaut Lodge, K. of P. Mr. Delaware was also a member of the Ushers Association, the J. W. Carr Protective Association. The floral designs were many and beautiful. The deceased was a fine type of a young man and was beloved by everybody. He leaves a mother, father, two sisters, a brother and other relatives. NUMBER 14 Aid In The Fight Against Tuberculosis Aid In The Fight Against Tuberculosis BUY RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS About Three-fourths of the Victims of Consumption in This City are Among Negroes—The Margaret Bottome Circle of King's Daughters is Fighting the Disease Few people realize the great danger they are in from constant exposure of tuberculosis or consumption as it is generally called. In the United States one person dies every three minutes from it, and in our own city one in less than every two days. One death in every seven in the United States is caused by it. During the five years from 1908 through 1912, there were 805 deaths in Savannah from this disease. 607 of these were colored people, 198 white. There were many other deaths of people who more easily contracted and succumbed to other diseases because of their weakened utbercular condition. The only organized work to treat or fight this disease in Savannah is that done by the Margaret Bottome Circle of King's Daughters. The nurse, Miss Burkholder who is employed by them, visits both white and colored, taking care of the sick, providing them with proper nourishment, and instructing the sick and the well in right living and in ways to prevent the spread of the disease. She can be reached at any time by calling 'phone No. 4543 and leaving the message. About three-fourths of this disease in Savannah is among the colored people, and they should arouse themselves to check the spread of this plague. Fresh air and plenty of it night and day, and good food are the chief things in its treatments. Those who have it should get instructions from a doctor or from the nurse in ways to prevent giving the disease to others. The expenses of this work are very heavy and the society is working hard to make the money. Red Cross Xmas Seals are on sale every day at the post-office The Sayannah Tribune, Savannah Pharmacy. Madam Florence E. Williams, Hairdressing parlors, 445 Price street, and at many stores in town, and it is hoped that everybody will buy at least one, and use it on a Xmas letter or package. They cost only one cent, and every one who buys one is helping to fight the disease in our own city. Floats Can Be Used In Parade A little apprehension was held by colored citizens about the use of floats depicting the progress of colored citizens in business. Assurances have been given by the city authorities that a parade with floats will be allowed. This idea of showing the progress of the race is a commendable one, and every man and women with an ounce of race pride should ever encourage it. Wedding Cards Out. Cards are out, announcing the marriage of Miss Willie Alberta Moore to Prof. Samuel Arthur Grant, which will take place December thirtieth at six o'clock p.m., at LaGrange, Ga. Miss Moore is the daughter of Mrs. J. Wesley Moore, of LaGrange, and prof. Grant occupies the chair of Pedagogy at the Georgia State College, and is one of the leading young men of Savannah. Emancipation Association Meets Tuesday The Emancipation Association will hold an important meeting Tuesday at Asbury M. E. Church at noon. All interested citizens are invited to be present. Social Happenings Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Scott entertained with a dinner on Saturday afternoon in honor of Mr. Andrew Bishop of New York City. Among the Masons MASONRY AS A WORLD POWER. In a paper read before a gathering of Freemasons in Manila, Manuel Camus, assistant city attorney of Manila said: "Without protection of any kind, Freemasonry has, in the course of centuries, grown from a group of faithful and determined initiates to the rank of a powerful institution, and has spread all over the world with hundreds of thousands of members, belonging to all races and creeds and speaking many different tongues. The beneficient influence of the Order has made itself felt in all countries; in which its precepts have been faithfully observed. Masonry brought about the union of Italy: founded the republic of Lilicia, and aggrandized devotion to the Argentine owe much of its rapid advance in culture and civilization, and the recent developments in liberal and cooperative government that have produced such great reforms in Turkey are due to the efforts of the Young Turk party, who are nearly all members of the stasonic fraternity. England and Germany are indebted to the craft for many reforms, and the United States owes much of its greatness and power to Masons; nearly all of its presidents, beginning with Washington and ending with Taft, and very many of its great men being members of the fraternity. Masonry of the Philippines has a great work to perform, that of bringing together the American, European and Filipino, and making them brothers in a common cause; establishing peace and prosperity and giving the land a dignified standing among the world."—Singapore Freepress BE A MAN. There is glory, in being a man, in all the true senses of manliness glory well exemplifying Masonic and Knightly manhood and glory in so living that the epitaph must be: "He was a Man—Great and good Loving God, he greatly loved his fellow-men." Wealth may flow in streams to such a man, yet he will not swell with pride nor scorn the humblest of his follows. Honors may come unsought, and titles unwished may be conferred by loving friends and brethren, but they will forget no vanity, and when the mugm of office has been laid aside there will not be manifest any of the spirit of eminent, or most eminent, superiority over him who has not won his Masonic titles or jewels. The Man, in the true and noble sense, is what Freemasonry regards, and "Great and Good man" is the highest honor and title that Freemasonry can bestow.—John W. Brown. HIS FIRST DUTY. The very first duty that an Enterd Apprentice acknowledges is to improve himself to Masonry. How many truly and sincerely attempt to discharge that duty? What would be the success of a lawyer who never again looked into a law book after his admission to the bar; a minister of the gospel who never read the bible after his ordination; a doctor who never took up a medical work after securing his sheep-skin, or that of any profession who does not take up post graduate studies? And yet you find Freemasons all about you pretending to be Masonic lights who never read a Grand Lodge proceeding, report of a fraternal correspondent, or a Masonic periodical. Some of them, perhaps, can glibly repeat certain portions of the ritual, but could not give an intelligent interpretation of the same to save their life. Masonic reading is an essential part of the education of a Freemason; and it is never too late to begin, but always better to begin early. It is the duty of Worshipful Masters to impress this fact upon newly made Masons, but if they themselves are in the class of non-reading Masons, how can we expect from them such wholesome advice?—Texas Freemason. TRUE CHARITY: In 1835, a writer in the Sherborne Journal said: "The objects of true charity among Masons are merit and virtue in distress; persons who are incapable of extricating themselves from misfortune in their journey through life; industrious men who, from inevitable accidents, and acts of providence, have fallen into ruin; widows, left survivors of their husbands, by whose labors they subsisted, orphans in tender years left naked to the world, and the aged whose spirits are exhausted, whose arms are unbraced by time, and thereby rendered unable to procure for themselves that sustenance they could accomplish in their youthful days. Thus is 'Charity' the keystone to our mystical fabrics."—Missouri Freemason. "There is one proposition on which Masonic writers, speakers and thinkers agree—it is that the Masonic fraternity suffers seriously from the indifference and inactivity of a large proportion of its membership. This condition of apathy is by many attributed to a lack of Masonic education, a failure to understand the true import of Masonic lessons and the real significance of Masonic traditions and usages." Never forget to remember that there are some things that should be forgotten.—Crescent. I laud Freemasonry sincerely not as a matter of rhetoric. I see its symmetry: I see its principles of friendship, mortality and brotherly love cementing, together people in every nation and every climate, keep its beauties flashing out at all directions, like meteor lighting up the path of toiling humanity; I see that its teachings are making men loyal citizens and true to the issues that come before them. Rev. A. Horton, Massachusetts. The Grand Master of Prince Edward Island likens 'Masonry to the force of grayitation, silent, ceaseless and irresistible, and is up to date in his smiles. He says: "A Napoleon tornado, a Morgan cyclone, or Papal typhoon, may hurl its force and threaten death and destruction, but that never changing silent gravitation which is the very essence of our fraternity stills the storm and brings again order out of chaos." "Office in a Masonic Lodge does not in the slightest degree make one Mason better than another. The Master of a lodge is a Master Mason, like any other Mason who may not have held office — Masonic Standard- Among the many merits of Masonic ceremonial observances is the incentive they give to the opportunities for being hospitable. Masonic usages have taught us that it is a serious sin to be the cause of bringing a blush of shame to the face of any fellow creature, and that, even when extending hospitality in a charitable sense every care must be taken to conserve the self-respect of the person we desire to aid.—Masonic Sun. Local Happenings The Krouskoffs has had another failure. During the week the tax payers kept busy the clorks in the tax collectro's office. It is reported that an Atlanta man may establish a large department store here in the near future. A committee of citizens left on Monday for New York to invite the president hero April next during the session of the Drainage congress. Three white men are under arrest charged with robbing a gas meter and electric piano in a home in Burroughs street. Work demolishing the old Board of Trade building will soon begin to make way for the new building of the Hibernia bank. The Lippman building, corner Congress and Barnard streets was destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The loss is estimated at $100,000. Contracts for the city drainage was let on Tuesday. During the holidays all peddlers will be kept off Broughton street, from Jefferson to Abercorn. Fire damaged the building at 417 West Huntingdon street on Tuesday night. Little six year old Georgia Mills was injured by being struck by an automobile at the Henry street subway on Tuesday. The American Naval Stores Co. has offered a dividend of ten per cents to its unsecured creditors. Five liquor dealers were found guilty of violating the prohibition law on Wednesday. Troilope's Recipe For Novel Writing. Mr. Trollope wrote immensely and never waited for inspiration. He said the best recipe he knew for novel writing was a patch of cobbler's wax on his chalk and to take great care he sat on it—"Reoves From a Life." The Child Problem One of the greatest problem of the day is what to do with the children; not the children of the wealthy and cultured, for they do not have many children and have means to solve the problem for themselves; but the middle and lower classes. In this city of many homes, on account of their condition, where the people are forced together in a congested mass, the child becomes a problem, most serious, especially with the very poor who are forced to live in small quarters, and saddest part the dear little ones are left to drift to the streets and there, coming in contact with others of all grades of degradation, it is only a matter of a short time before the sweet purity of innocent childhood has been supplanted by a knowledge of sin and vice that prepare the child for a reformatory or prison. These places are becoming crowded, and the judges scarcely know what to do with the many cases that come before them, because there is no institution to place them where the environments would be better and there they would be trained to become better men and women, and be a credit not only to himself, but to the whole race, while this is true of the children of all races it is most pathetic and serious in the care of Negro boy and girl. Weighted down as their parents are by the iron hand of prejudice, segregated largely to certain vile sections of the city, and these sections are becoming over crowded. The Negroes from the islands and the country are crowding the city and as the sections are accessible to the railroads and wharves, they settle in these sections. The unselfish and ambitious Negroes who are interested in the uplift of their race feel burdened and with heavy hearts cries, "How long, O Lord! how long; and what shall we do to help save our children?" These poorer children, for I do not refer to the well-to-do Negroes who have facilities to protect and train their children, but the orphan and destitute comprise a large proportion of the Negro children; for most Negroes are poor and live in congested quarters, as I have said before. It is not enough, for many of this class that they attend the public school for five hours of the day, for the vile influences that they must come in contact with during the other nineteen hours of the day counteract the good that is largely accomplished in school. When we go into the homes of poverty, want and woo shall we help them to help themselves? When we see the children in these homes left to grow up in ignorance and vice how shall we teach the mothers to lead their steps into the ways of truth and purity! how! how! this question confronts us at every step. For this work there must be careful, prayerful preparation, and the only way to be of service to these children, who are exposed to vices, is to come together in organization to study the situation and earnestly put in motion every possible agency for reform. I will mention a few of the agencies that will do much good, towards bettering the terrible conditions that confront us. Rescue homes for wayward girls, settlement houses, day nurseries, relief societies (destitute and the sick) Orphan and Old Folks Home. There are many others, but I am naming the most important, and I do not wish you to be confused and embarrassed by the thought that what needs to be done is too difficult or far way. There should be no limitation of time and space when man needs the helping sympathy of man. If our hearts are strong for good works, ways and means will readily appear for the exercise of our talents and our love. There is much to be said on this subject, and regret I am too busy at this time to enter into a more lengthy discussion as this problem not only confronts us in Savannah but in all the larger cities of the world. In leaving this subject to you to give it your attention, I want to leave with you two pictures, and whilst you are in your comfortable homes enjoying the many blessings, reason with self, and find out before it is too late, if you have been more loyal to self than to Christ and have him say to you "In as much as ye did it not unto the least of these, ye did it not unto me." The pictures that will ever be in my mind, 1st, is a little family consisting of four orphans, the oldest being 16 years old mothering three smaller ones ages 12, 8 and 7 not one child able to go to school.

'The new coats show deep yokes lapping downward and wedge shaped fronts lapping leftward. This coat, made by a famous Parisian tailor, is in lapped effect and is of leather bleen duvetyn with skunk fur trimming. A Momus. Have you ever heard a grumbler called a Momus? Momus in Greek legend was the god of mockery, whose chief joy in existence was to find fault with mortals and immortals as well when the occasion offered. Upon one occasion Neptune, Minerva and Vulcan contested the point to which was the best artist, and Momus was appointed to sit in judgment upon their respective merits. Nentune made a bull in his best style. Minerva fashioned a house. Vulcan made a man. Momus decided that Vulcan's gun was not perfect because he had neglected to put a window in his chest so that his creature's thoughts could be read by all who wished to know of what he was thinking. Minerva's house did not suit him because it was not movable and therefore could not be shifted out of the way when trouble threatened or meddlesome neighbors tried to peer in. Neptune's bull, said Momus, was very imperfect because its horns were too near the front of its head. So furious were the gods at his decisions upon their best work that they banished him from heaven. Shortly afterward, it is said. Monus died of a broken heart because he could find no flaw in the peerless beauty of Venus. Juvenile Attire. Coats for little girls are most attractive this winter. For school wear nothing is more serviceable and appropriate than a good sensible box coat of chinchilla cloth or corduroy. The latter material wears "like iron." and in one of the new shades of brown 27 such a wrap is good coating. When the child is six or eight years old to the brown coat may be added a "brownie" cap of corduroy. Zebra is making many of the dressy coats for little girls this season, and the model illustrated is of copenhagen one of the fitties. The belt, collar and cuffs are of velvet in the same color.

Farm and Garden PLANNING THE FARMSTEAD. Suggestions That Will Save Time and Money For the Farmer. There is perhaps no place and probably no line of work that is more loosely or poorly planned than some of the farmsteads of this country, says H. E. Colby in the Dairy Farmer. When you realize that the farm is a manufacturing plant, when one takes into consideration that here the raw materials—the soil, the seeds, the crops, the animals—all are products that are to be used either as a means of manufacturing the highest class quality of human food or as food itself, then one will realize the importance of so arranging the farmstead that the work can be carried on most conveniently and economically. Frequently there are natural conditions that must be taken into consideration in laying out a place of this kind, but with the present day methods of building and equipping it is possible to overcome almost anything of this kind without serious inconvenience and when once it is arranged remember it must stand for years. It is a mistake to try to economize time that will mean a few dollars or a little work that will occupy a day or two when building is in process and then spend ten or fifteen minutes every day for the next twenty years, simply because this saving was made in the first place. It is important that the products of It is important that the products of the farm should be handled in such a ```markdown ``` Photograph by Long Island agricultural experiment station. way that they will begin at one end of the plant and come out a finished article at the other end. For example: The dairy barn will be in one place, the milk house where the cream is to be handled and the milk is to be separated may be a considerable distance from that, and the calf and hog barns, where the skimmilk is to be fed, will be equally distant in another direction. There is no reason why the farm should not be planned in such a way that the milk can be taken directly from the barn to the milk house and from there to the hog house and calf barn and henhouse without duplicating the path back to the stable or without running back and forth. Do not think that the Dairy Farmer advocates the close proximity of the milk house to either the cow stable or the hog house if the very best of precautions are not used to prevent contaminating the milk and cream with odors common to these buildings. But if proper measures are taken the buildings may be conveniently arranged. This is done in very many of the best farm plants, but it is not to be recommended indiscriminately, for too often the help becomes careless of those little precautions that prevent contamination of the product from outside sources. But if the milk house is properly arranged, so the milk can be taken from the cow barn and the skimmilk delivered directly to the other barns and the cream put away carefully where it will be free from any odors or influences, that would cause it to deteriorate, there can be a great economy of work about the barns. Frequently one finds the farmer in feeding his cattle carrying the feed back and forth over the same path when the feed rooms could be so arranged that one process would answer the purpose better. Just bear a few of these things in mind when you are rearranging your farm. When you are getting the stables and the feed room ready to handle the herd during the winter just see if there isn't some little simple way in which you can change things so as to economize on the work that will be done during the winter. Remember that one or two minutes saved each day amounts to considerable during the year, not only in time, but in labor and effort. It is these little conveniences, these little attentions to detail, that make farm work easier and relieve it of the drudgery and that put it on a plane above the manual labor to which so many are prone to relegate it. Just remember a few of these hints and adapt them to your reads. It is not the intention to make any hard and fast rules, because every farmstead has its own problems of management to meet, and they can be met only by the men who are on the ground and who know just what these conditions are. ai j Gbe Savangsh Cribune, Established 1875 By JOHN H.

Before we go to press again, Christmas of ninsteen hundred and thirteen will have passed into. his- tory. ver mindful of the bless- ings that have come to us during the year and possibilities which have been opened to us, we are in- deed deeply thankful and happy to know that we havestriver to do some little good during the twelve months which are about to pass beyond us. Likewise, we have been made to feel happy by ob- serving the good deeds of others. Humanity has been sigoally bless- ed during the months of 1913; Civilization has improved and the widening influence of Christianity is being felt more and more, As we approach this sacred season symbolic of the birth of the Christ, we aro made to exclaim, ‘God be praised.” In the happiest and freest of spirit, The Tribune “with malice toward none but love for all” extends to its many readérs a happy Christmas, emblematic of all that the name implies and the occasion which it commemorates. ‘Yo our great regret and anxiety, what once promised to be the greatest enmneipation celebration ever held in the city of Savannah by our peuple, now bids fair to become a travesty upon the very name of the ovcasion which the immortal Lincoln made famous. "Present rumors, now thick and fast, are to the effect that there is much dissatisfaction within the ranks of the prospective partici- pants of the coming yisit of Janu- ary celebration. Itisclaimed that certain uniformed companies have raised objection to their participa- tion in’ any parade in which there will bo floats representative of the business and financial growth of our people. According to ru- mor, these compancis feel that the parade should be either all mili- tary orotherwise Wearefurther told that these companies being spured on in their contention to participate, ina strictly military celebration by certain individual or individuals who seek to destroy the peace and harmony so long a part of us, in order that some fleet- ing little honor may come to them alone, are seeking to corner the market, xs it were on, all of the bands of the city in order that those whom they oppose may be without marching music, Sucha situation, if it really exist, is to be regrettod and the leaders of suchan uncalled forstrifeamong us should be ferreted out and held up in con- demuation to the public gaze. As has been said previously in our columns, the coming celebration which will mark the fiftieth apni- versary of our emancipation, ought to be the greatest in our history. Floats illustrating . the various steps in the business, lit- erary and religious advancement of our people smce their emanci- pation, should be had. At the same, marching bodies, illustra- tive of tho same idea as well as the success of our people from a fra- terpal standpoint, should be in Hine. We ought te and must have a grand mammoth parade on the coming first of January. As the time draws nearer and nearer for such a colebration, it is our sin- cerest wish that present wounds, if thore be any, will be healed. There is no need of two celebra- tions. We do not need such. One is enough, Each and every one of us should dohis utmost to make the one asuccess. In the name of peace and harmony therefore, and for thie cause of the race, we urge all factions to gét together for one mammoth parade.

The troupe did credit to itself and the colored race in general. The show was an extrayaganza of mirth and music. Rogers and Creamer give to the public a ‘clean and interesting show. The singing of Misses Gorgas and Le’Cooke was of the highest type. The dancing of Miss Ruth Cherry was fairy like in its exe- cution. She was as nimble on her feet ssa mymph, and made an eyerlasting impression upon the theatre goers of this city. The comedian, Mr. Billy far- per, kept one continuous stream of laughter flowing through the entire performance — Messrs. Rogers and Gilpin in their por- trayal of two old men in the last act were simply great In fact the entire company seemed to take an unsellish inter- est in giving the public the best Everyone who visited the show seemed please and it was pro- nounced by them as being the “cleanest, most interesting and the best colored show that has ever traveled this portion of the south. On Friday eyening the entire troupe of Rogers and, Creamer’s colored players wes entertained with a ball at the Odd Fellow’s hall, giyen in their honor by Mr. A. G. McDowell, Jr. and_ the young men of Savannah. ‘There was a large crowd out and the affair was a grand success. Iq Memoriam In loving memory of my dear father, REV. S. N.

The birdseye effect or pattern in hard maple is said to be due to the presence of buds which for some reason cannot force their way through the bark, but which remain just beneath it year after year. Probably the best paid farm foreman in the world is Vernon Cooke, formerly a noted dry farming expert who lived in the United States and now is in the employ of the Brazilian government, with charge over a farm tract 800 miles square. Drought and an early frost in heavy breakwheat producing sections cut the drop so that it is reported the smallest grain in thirteen years. In view of this situation it would be well to platterize all the slipjacks that one paste this winter. The disciple of the genial The Walten always has an indisputable argument for staying at the lake or river just a little longer. If the fish are biting he wants just one more, while if they are not he has every reason for staying until he does get a bite. The potato crop for 1913 is placed at 300,000,000 bushels less than that of 2012, or 310,000,000 bushels. Maine is the only one of the potato producing states that has a larger crop than last year. The average price to producers for their potato crop on Oct. 1 is put at 74.1 cents per bushel. The farmer who, in a benevolent mood, gave his wide awake boy a little pig and then when the animal got to weigh 350 pounds sold it and didn't give the lad the coin will have himself to thank if this same boy digs out for the city where he can be his own boss and get what he considers a square deal. As the colder weather comes on and the need increases for warmer fires are should be given to the condition if the nues and chimneys. A little regir work done along this line may have the family's hiking in negligence attire some night in the next three four months when the thermometer down near the zero point If the flock of heens are too fat and as a result have shut down on their laying operations a change should be made in feeding them. If they have been given mashes these should be cut out, the grain being fed whole and the heens being made to scratch it out of a litter, which should be renewed often enough so that it will not become foul. That achieving fame seems to be largely the result of doing some one thing a little better than anybody else nicely illustrated in the case of the Oregon hen, G-543, that laid 291 eggs in the course of a single year. She simply laid eight more eggs in that time than any other hen ever laid, but she is now known from one end of the country to the other. A reader of this department asks the title of the bulletin referred to some time ago which gives descriptions and colored plates of fifty of our best known and most valuable insect destroying birds. This is farmers' bulletin No. 51S and may be had free of charge by writing to one's congressman or senator at Washington or for a nominal sum by writing direct to the department of agriculture at Washington. A copy of the bulletin should be in every school and in every home. Every family, whether residing in town or country, should have a place of safe keeping for valuable papers, where they may be kept from damage by fire or other agency. Too often such papers are kept in most any old place and a place that is all too often forgotten if a fire does break out. A safe deposit box and a niche in which to keep it may be bad for little or nothing in most any bank. With this true, there is no excuse in not keeping the valuable papers together where they will be safe. Getting the boy started at eight or ten years of age with a bank account is a mighty good idea from the standpoint of the bank account, the money saved, and, even more, from the standpoint of the boy. Its increase will not only mean that it will get its owner a good many things in later years watch will be worth while, but it will also be a potent influence, causing him to pass up a good many things that are not only not worth while, but a serious handicap on both his success and happiness in life. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER ROCKFORD, IA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] The farmers in most any station where dirt roads prevail can do a mighty acceptable piece of home missionary work by getting out with their road drags on days when the surface of the roads is mealy and smoothing them down before the final freezing. It is well for the boy who is this year trapping for the first time to remember that practically all furs do not reach the condition called "prime" if the fur bearing animal is trapped before Dec. 1. Many states have this as the opening date for the trapping season. Others should. Most railroad ties as well as telegraph and telephone poles that are now laid or set are given a preservative treatment with acetone or other ammonium to increase their life. The ties when timber was so plentiful that ties and poles were cheaper than the preservative, but not now. The banks of Kansas City are planning to contribute $10,000 toward a fund which is to be raised for the purpose of buying seed wheat for farmers in the sun western counties of the state that suffered most from last summer's drought. This is a commendable type of philanthropy, but is simply a "casting of bread upon the waters." A vessel fully equipped to take moving pictures of fish and other marine life beneath the surface and on the bed of the ocean will leave New York city in a few months for the submarine gardens of Bermuda. A machine which will take the pictures has been perfected, and the pictures that will be taken will be most interesting. The government receipt for an effective rat poison is, one part barytes (barium sulphate) mixed with eight or nine parts fine cornmeal and molested with enough water to make a dough. This dope works slowly, usually causes rats that eat it to go from their runs in search of water and is not as dangerous to children as are many poisons on the market. In the province of Manitoba hunters are required to wear a white coat on sweater and a white cap, while those who hunt big game in the province of Saskatchewan must have an entire suit of white and a white cap. This kind of an outfit may cause, some game to "shy," but it safeguards the wearer against being shot by some galoot of a hunter who couldn't tell a deer from a tree stump or a bowler. The common uses of sugar are well known. Some others that may not be so well known are its employment in the manufacture of shoeblacking, transparent soap and copying ink and ink rollers for printing presses. It also forms from 40 to 60 per cent of some explosives and is used in dyeing and tanning operations. Sugar also has a hardening effect on mortar and when so used constitutes one-half the bulk of the mortar mixture, there being one part lime and one part sand mixed with it. Tests are being made by the United States bureau of chemistry to determine the amount of shrinkage which takes place in dried fruit between shipping point and ultimate destination. Ten carloads of such fruit from the Pacific coast to eastern markets are to be weighed at both ends of the long journey, so that the packer may know the amount of shrinkage and may know how much fruit to put into a parcel in the packing plant to have it meet the legal net weight requirements when it is sold in the corner grocery. It is an excellent idea, and one carried out by a good many people, to buy a few good books every year as a permanent addition to the family library. While it is well enough, if there are a few volumes of current fiction among these, a good deal more satisfaction will be got in the course of years if half or more of the books thus purchased are of the more substantial sort, tailing of the solution of the great problems confronting the race and of individual and national achievement along a great variety of lines. That the presence of roadside trees is a profile source of bad roads—and this is especially true when they are on the south side of east and west thoroughfares—was shown in rather striking fashion in a cross country trip which the writer took the other day. A stretch of 100 feet of road that was sheltered by such trees was so slippery that the auto behavior as if it were on a "jig," while a "dragon feet beyond the shaded tree" the road was merely driving on steadily. He is a pulley factor who converts these border trees into store wood at the earliest possible moment. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XII.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 21, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John i, 1-18. Memory Verses, 1-3—Golden Text, John i, 13—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We would be glad to take the regular lesson in Josh. xiv as our meditation for today and be refreshed by the story of Caleb, who felt as strong at eighty-five as he did at forty and asked Joshua for the mountain where the giants were and received Hebron as part of his inheritance because he had wholly followed the Lord God of Israel, but we choose the Christmas lesson for a greater than Caleb is here, even the Lord, whom Caleb followed and who kept him alive all those years while over 600,000 died in the wilderness. The studies for 1914 will be on the life of Christ in the gospels, concluded from 1912, when the last lessons were in Matt. xviii, and this will form a connecting link as well as be a more appropriate Christmas study. "The Word was made flesh" points us to Gal. iv, 4. "When the fullness of the time was come God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under the law;" also to Heb. ii, 14. "For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the name." We must remember 1 Thes. iii, 16. "Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh." We are not asked to understand it, for we cannot, but we can believe it. Bishop Thorold has said that to recognise what we cannot explain and to consent that it should not be explained is the humility of true wisdom, and to accept what we could not otherwise have known, on the authority of God's revealed word, is the obedience of faith. To this we are called -absolute and unconditional faith in every word of God. This is the eagle gospel, as Matthew is the lion. Mark the ox and Luke the man. Here we soar beyond all the others. Matthew takes us back to Abraham, Luke to Adam. but here we are taken to the beginning, before the world was, and to the Creator of all things, without whom was not anything made that was made (verse 3). He is called "the Word of God" in Rev. xix, 13, and "the Word" in I John v. 7. To me "the Word of the Lord" in Gen. xv, 1, is also Himself talking to Abram. The Bible is the written word, and He is the living Word. Some one has said: The Scriptures and the Lord bear one most holy name. The written and the Living Word are in He is distinct from and yet one with the Father. "The Word was with God and the Word was God." As one has said, this is too high for us, but in verse 14 He comes near to us in human form and tabernacles among us. He is the Babe who was born in Bethlehem, and yet his goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity (Mic. v. 2). The same verse says that He was born to be ruler in Israel, and in John 1. 49. Nathanael recognized Him as such, saying, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel." He has never yet ruled in Israel, but He Himself answered Pilate. "Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born and this cause came I into the world" (John xxvll. 37). Though we rarely, if ever, see this title, "the Ruler of Israel," in Christmas Sunday school decorations, yet for the fulfillment of this the world waits. He is the only Life and Light of men individually, but when He shall come again as the Light and Glory of Israel then nations shall come to her light and kings to the brightness of her rising. It shall be to the world as Life from the dead (Isa. lx, 1-3; Rom. xi, 15). There is no life or light or knowledge of the true God apart from Him, for He only can reveal the Father (Verse 16), and those who do not receive Him as God do not know the true God, but worship a god of their own imagination, suggested to them by the God of this world, the Ruler of the darkness of this world (II Cor. iv, 4; Eph. vi, 12). The prophets have spoken the truth by the Holy Spirit, but He is the Truth (John xiv. 6) and reveals to us the holiness of God and our sinfulness, but also the grace that saves sinners freely by His merits (verse 17: Bom. ill. 24: v. 1; I Cor. vili. 9). I think that verses 10, 11 are among the saddest in the whole Bible, telling us that the world that was made by Him knew Him not, and the people whom He came to redeem received Him not. They make us think of His own words, "Oh. Jerusalem. * * how often would I, * * and ye would not" (Matt. xxiii, 37), and of the day when He hept over the city saying, "If thou hadst known, * * but now" * * (Luke six, 41, 42). There are no words more precious than those of verses 12, 13, which tell us how to be born of God and the true meaning of believing, a word used a hundred times in this gospel. Believing all about Him will not benefit us unless we humbly receive Him into our hearts as our personal Saviour, who loved us and gave Himself for us, bearing our sins in His own body. Believing is receiving, and he that hath the Son hath Life (I John v, 12). INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

Office, 509 West Broad Street, Savannah Georgia I. S. Perry, Sput Broke Up His Speech. Judge Norton was solemn, stern and dignified to excess. He was also egotistical and sensitive to Hidicule. Judge Nelson was a wit and careless of decorum. He did not like Judge Norton. At a bar supper Judge Norton in an elaborate speech, referring to the early days of Wisconsin, described with tragic manner a thunderstorm which once overtook him in riding the circuit. The scene was awful, "and," said the judge. "I expected every moment the lightning would strike the tree under which I had taken shelter." "Then," interrupted Nelson, "why in thunder didn't you get under another tree?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Ivory Knife Handle. All ivory knife handles are apt to become discolored and to go a slight yellow color after long use and exposure to the air. The first thing to be done to restore the color is to scrape the handle with a sharp steel scraper. The scraper should be sharpened by holding it in a vertical position and rubbing it on an oil stone until a wire edge comes on. Scrape the handle until quite white and all signs of discoloration have disappeared and then rub with No. 0 sandpaper until all scratches become invisible. Queer Welsh Superstitions. Some of the old Welsh death and funeral customs are curious, as, for instance, the opening of the windows when a person was dying. Many years ago when a gentleman at Devil's Bridge, Cardiganshire, was passing away all the boxes, drawers, etc., in the house were unlocked, as it was thought that anything fastened would hinder the flight of the spirit. This superstition is also known in Devon and Cornwall, and in Gloucestershire the door is opened at death—Cardiff Western Mail. The Name "Sea" Who first used the word "gas," and why? Merely because of the supposed resemblance of the product of burning carbon to the "chonov" of the Greeks. "This spirit, hitherto unknown," wrote the experimenter Van Helmont in 164S, "I call by the name of gas, and I call it so because, being untamable, it is scarcely distinguishable from the chaos of the ancients." A glimpse at modern gas devices will show how far removed from untenability is the gas of today. Although stock shipments have been increasing in volume steadily during the past sixty years and have matched large proportions within the past ten years, only recently have been made which has in the introduction of the recurring weekly congestion of stock shipments at large markets. Taking Chicago as an example, this congestion of traffic has usually occurred on Mondays and Wednesdays. The result of this system, which there is good reason to believe big packing interests have encouraged in the past, raises and shippers of live stock have sustained immense losses through having to sell on a glutted market. Besides this, railroads and their employees have been swamped with traffic and have also suffered loss through congestion and delays. With a view to giving the new plan publicity, circulates have been prepared and distributed in which shippers are encouraged to distribute their stock shipments over five days in the week instead of concentrating them on two days. Shippers of live stock, who without question have been the chief losers as a result of the system which has prevailed, should welcome the new order, which should mean better service and more even prices. WINDMILLS AS ELECTRIC GEN BRATORS. Those in any way interested in the use of wind power as a means of generating electrical power will be interested in bulletin No. 105, lately published by the North Dakota experiment station. The bulletin is a report of a thesis prepared by one of the graduates of the agricultural college and is entitled "Windmill Electric Lighting and Power." The writer takes up in detail and quite technically the development of his own windmill electric plant. He seems to have worked out the problems of regulating and controlling the speed of his windmill. Another difficulty, that of preventing the loss of electricity through leakage from his storage batteries, he has overcome by the use of a check valve and switchboard. The electricity generated by this plant is used for lighting house and barn; also to run all kinds of farm machinery requiring a turning wheel. It also heats electric stoves and flat irons and operates the washing machine, sewing machine and vacuum cleaner. From figures presented the cost of furnishing electricity by this windmill plant is shown to be about one third that where gasoline or steam used as a source of power. IMMENSE SUPPLIES OF POTASH. A party of scientists in the service of the United States department of agriculture spent the past summer along the Alaskan coast investigating the possibilities of using the giant kelp or seaweed as a source of potash for use as a fertilizer. Many beds were found that contained large quantities of the help. The size of some of these seaweeds may be gathered from a statement by Professor Griggs of the Ohio State university, who said on his return that he saw single leaves of these weeds that were eight feet wide and up to seventy-five feet long. Samples of the weeds were taken in different places, and these are now being tested by the government. These kelp groves have the power of extracting large quantities of potash from the sea water, and the process of converting the kelp into fertilizer is comparatively simple. It is hoped that this new industry may be developed to the point where it will give relief to American farmers and gardeners from the exactions of the German potash monopoly. WHY THEY SOLD WELL The time is gone by when farmers should be content with raising bovines and calling them cows merely because they happen to have hides, horns and hoofs. The point of this remark will be the clearer when it is stated that at a cattle sale in a western dairy state ordinary grade cows sold for an average price of $130 a head. These grades were Holsteins and belonged to men who were members of a county cow testing association. Buyers who came to the sale were perfectly willing to pay a high price if they could get a cow whose record they could inspect and that they were convinced could deliver the goods. One of those grades brought $190. The facts of this sale should have a suggestion for farmers who have been milking cows year after year simply because they have worn an innocent look or a pleasant smile. FATTENING CHICKEN. A good deal more might be realized by farmers who have considerable numbers of chickens to market in the fall if they would catch them ten days or two weeks before the day of marketing and confine them in fattening coops. Inexpensive coops or crates may be made about 4 by 8 feet and high enough so the chickens can stand up. A Y shaped trough should be fixed just outside the coop from which the chickens may eat by putting their heads between the slats. A standard fattening ration is made by mixing ground corn with sour milk or buttermilk. The mixture should be wet, but not sloppy. Fresh water should be given daily in quart cans placed high enough so that the chickens will not get their feet in them. J. C.

For the Children London Coater Girls Enjoying an Outing. by Amori an Press Association One of the sights of London is the costermonger when he is arrayed in a pink attire. The costermonger, as many of our young readers may not know, is a peddler of fish or vegetation, and he travels the streets of London in his barrow, which is a small dragon drawn by a donkey. When invited for a holiday the costermonger is sight to behold. He wears a suit of velvet decorated with rows and circles or whatever figure suits his fancy all done with pearl buttons. Some of them have been known to disport costume with 70,000 pearl buttons dressed on as a decoration, and the young people of his family are similarly clothed on special occasions—such as a picnic or other outings. The girls in the picture are costermongers' daughters. Their velvet costumes are covered with pearl buttons, as the photograph discloses. They were dancing at a picnic when the photographer passed that way and caught them in action. --- What Every Girl Can Do. The Girl's World suggests fifteen things which every girl can learn before she is fifteen. Not every one can learn to play or sing or paint well enough to give pleasure to her friends, but the following "accomplishments" are within every girl's reach Always know where your things are. Learn to make bread as well as cake. Keep your own room in tasteful order. Never come to breakfast without a sodar. Never go about with your shoes un- cautioned. Never let a button stay off twenty- four hours. Speak clearly enough for everybody to understand. Do patient with the little ones, as you wish your mother to be with you. Never let the day pass without doing something to make somebody com- fortable. The girl who has thoroughly learned all this might be called "a mistress of arth." The Weathercocks Any number of players may take part in this game, which is really good fun. The four corners of the room are named after the four points of the compass, north being diagonal to west, the rest are weathercocks. The latter should stand in a line in the center of the room. When the wind points to the corner, calling out the name of that direction, the weathercocks must immediately face the opposite direction. Thus if the wind says south they face north, and so on. If he should name a point they are already facing they must remain perfectly still. When the wind cries "Variable," the vines must raise themselves to their tops and sway back and forth until the name of one of the cardinal points is again called, when, as before, they turn to the opposite point. Whenever the wind shouts "Storm" or "Tempest," each vane must whirl completely around three times. Any player failing to observe any of these orders, which are more confusing than they sound, must forfeit some articles, such as a handkerchief, hair ribbon or trinket, to be redeemed by a humorous sound after the game is over. Arrowhead4. The Indian art of making arrowheads is being practiced by white men, who use them for commercial purposes and sell them as old and genuine. The flint is not chipped with stone or metal, as you may have imagined, but with water. An Indian wishing to make an arrowhead hold a piece of flint in fire until it was sizzling hot, then allowed a drop of water to drip from a stick-upon the spot he wished to chip away. The sudden cooling made the flint chip off at once. The only cunning necessary in the art was the shaping of the arrowhead and so it was not so difficult a thing as most white men imagine.

Windows will be announced on the night of the 23rd. Tuesday, Oct. 28. was apple day, and, according to produce papers, it had a decidedly stimulating effect upon apple prices at that time. In many large cities posters were displayed calling attention to the day, some of them concluding with the sentiment, "Health's best way—eat apples every day." Those who handle gasoline should keep in mind the fact that throwing water on a blaze caused by it does not help matters, but, rather, makes them worse, in that it does not put the fire out, but scatters it. A far better means of putting out such a blaze is by beating or smothering it with a sack or blanket. --- It is no wonder that the tribe of those who seem to get along without working is a numerous one when suckers are running around without a label who can be sold on sight a large city block for $20 or who will pay a stranger $5 or $10 to go into a big building and set machinery in motion which will turn it around. Thomas Barron, the breeder of champion laying breeds, makes a penalty of furnishing eggs for the market, and in his pens, comprising several hundreds of layers, he allows no birds of the male persuasion, since it has been demonstrated in his own experience and that of other poultry men that unfetrilled eggs keep best. A very effective method of overcoming the annoyance resulting from the action of creosote on metal extensions of kitchen chimneys is by substituting two or three joints of seven or eight inch diameter glazed sewer tile. The first length should be securely cemented to the top of the chimney, small end up, and other lengths placed on top of this. Being placed thus, sewer piping is moisture tight, and this prevents action by the creosote. Hard maple, which is used in the manufacture of a great variety of things in common use. from flooring to shoe lasts and rolling pins, though among the toughest and hardest of woods and prized chiefly for these qualities, decays rapidly when used as post timber. The total cut of hard maple in the United States is 1,150,000,000 feet annually. Nearly one-half of this is produced by Michigan, with Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia following in the order named From reports that come from several sections of the country it is apparent that the growing of ginseng on a commercial scale has been a delusion and a disappointment to a good many folks who hoped to achieve a fortune thereby. It is likely that, where one person has really made a good profit in growing the herb, scorces have made a fixe of it. Before taking up this business a novice would do well to get the addresses of several ginseng companies and get their quotations on the roots and berries cash, f. o. b. shipping point. It is well to get these quotations before one pays high prices for seeds or lays out much cash in sheds. --- A friend who has a position as a rural mail carrier has for some years past devoted the spare time not used on his route during the spring and summer to intensive gardening on half an acre of land. Last year products to the value of $240 were sold from this garden, and our friend estimates than the fruits and vegetables used by his family just about offset the work which the garden required. This case is not reported because it is exceptional. For much larger incomes than this have been got from half an acre of land, but simply to show what one man did by the intelligent use of his spare time. He used both brains and fertilizers in his garden operations and was well repaid for his efforts. It is a big jump from the hundreds of thousands of bushels of apples that went to rot in many parts of the country during September and early October and could hardly be disposed of at any price to the barreled stock of very mediocre grade that is now selling at from $5 to $5 per barrel on retail markets. The contrast indicated constitutes one of the greatest economic sins of the present day—the pitiful inadequacy of our system of distribution and methods of preserving perishable fruit and vegetable products. It is seen on every hand at certain seasons of the year—lavish abundance in one section or in one season of the year and dearth and scarcity, with prohibitive prices, in another section or at another time. Those who in any substantial way help to solve this twofold problem will stand as benefactors of their fellow men. Werner Kreimer, a young farmer nineteen years old, who lives in Will county, Ill., began some time ago studying bulletins that were issued by the college of agriculture of the University of Illinois. As a result of this course of education, conducted in his own home, the productiveness of his father's farm has been increased 40 percent by the introduction of scientific methods of farming which these bulletins recommended. Increased earnings that resulted from this better farming enabled this boy to buy a quarter section farm at a cost of $40,000. It is well now and then to report instances of this kind to encourage boys who for one reason or another do not have opportunity to take even a short course at their state agricultural college. This young man simply got hold of definite and practical information and mixed his beaine and muscles with it. The upshot was success, spelled in good sized letters. Vague Comment.
