The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXIX Urban League to Hold Public Meeting Urban League to Hold Public Meeting AT CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH MONDAY NIGHT Large Crowd Expected Out— Work for Year to be Planned —Several Important Recommendations to be Made by Executive Committee The local branch of the National League on Conditions Among Negroes will hold a public meeting Monday night at eight o'clock at the First Congregational church, Habersham and Taylor streets. The coming meeting of the league is a very important one and will, no doubt, be largely attended. The report of the executive committee will be made and many important recommendations will be presented to the body. While the local league has only been in existence but a few months, being organized shortly after the visit to the city of Mr.Eugene Kinckle Jones, one of the associate directors of the National Urban League with headquarters in New York City, yet much good has been accomplished by it, the most notable being the Christmas fund for the Negro poor of the city, when over $500.00 were raised and over 100 families assisted. The league has among its membership some of the leading Negro citizens of the city and it is destined to become an institution of inestimable good to the community. The meeting Monday is for all the people and it is very important, as the coming year's work will be laid before the body. Notice of the meeting will be given before all of the churches tomorrow and it is hoped that the ministers will urge upon their congregations to lend encouragement to the work of the league by attending this meeting. --- Allen Christian Endeavor The Allen Christian Endeavor Union League met at St. Philip A.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1914 Central Park School Makes Appeal ASKS CHARITABLE WHITE PEOPLE TO ASSIST INSTITUTION Negroes Have Already Given $5000.00--Committee to Make Personal Canvas for Funds An urgent appeal by the executive committee of Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute which is situated on the White Bluff road, has been recently made to the white citizens of the community for that institution and it is hoped that by this means sufficient funds will be raised to complete the building which is about half way finished. $5000.00 have already been raised,thisamount coming directly from Negroes, and the institution is now asking the charitable white citizens of Savannah to contribute to the cause so that the building may be completed. $1500.00 is asked to save the work already done and $5000.00 to complete the building and have it ready for occupancy. Noting the urgent necessity for better preparation of the Negro boys and girls in this community and adjacent counties, for a life of usefulness, the undersigned, with a few associates, have begun the erection and establishment of a training school for Negro boys and girls outside the southern limits of the city on the White Bluff road. The name of this institution is the Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute. It is properly chartered under the laws of Georgia for the work it essays to do. Knowing the position which we must occupy in the economic life of this great city, and greatly appreciating our opportunity, we are willing to make and are making every possible sacrifice to meet the conditions. A building is now being erected on the grounds of the institution, which is the first to be built on a campus of 23 acres. The building as it stands was erected at a cost of $5,000.00. Every dollar of which was contributed from the scanty earning of the Negro himself, as we did not desire to appeal to our white friends until we had demonstrated our own earnestness in the work. We think, by the above showing, that we deserve your sympathy and help and we, therefore, take this method of appealing to you, feeling assured that it will reach the hearts of those who are only waiting to help us. We appeal to you on the grounds, first: That whether we will or no, the white man and the Negro occupy the same common territory in our beautiful southland, and will continue to dq so, perhaps, to the end of time. Second: The time will never come when the Negro will be independent of the white man. Today he is dependent on him for every line of occupation by which he earns his daily bread and should be assisted in the preparation for the better performance of his duties as servants, laborers and artisans. Third: The American Negro, and especially the Southern Negro, needs today, more than ever before, the helpful sympathy of the American white man, the southern gentleman. We do not regret the millions that are being spent for the education and Christianization of our brethren in Africa and the isles of the sea, but we do ask that, of your bounty, you do not forget us at home, who must live here, work here, spend our earnings here for the necessities of life and at last die and be buried here. While your sympathies run out for the heathen far away; help, O, help us to rescue these nearer home, some of whom are not far removed from their pristine state. The establishment of this institution was made possible by the generosity and Christian spirit of the Central Park Company of this city. Its establishment cannot conflict with the work done by any similar institution, as the demand for efficient service far exceeds the supply. We are trying to make men and women who can be depended upon, and believe you will help us. We desire $5,00.0 to be ready to begin work, but must have $1500.0 in order to save the work already done. We must have this in 15 days. We appeal to you and believe that you will liberally respond. A personal canvass will be made immediately, by the undersigned. Those wishing to make donations direct without personal solicitation can send checks to Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor St. Philip church, 507 Charles street, the secretary, who will properly receipt for the same. Thanking you in advance for your donations to this worthy cause, we are Faithfully yours. B. S. Hanna R. H. Singleton G. H. Bowen Ex. Com. Asbury M.E. Church Sunday services 11 a.m. and 8 p. m.

Negro Farmers to Have Paper WILL BE PUBLISHED IN VILLAGE NEARTUSKE- GEE INSTITUTE Mr. Isaac Fisher to be Editor And Mr. C. B. Hosmer Business Manager Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 17. The Negro farmers and Agricultural laborers of the United States are to have a paper devoted to their interests and to those of all other persons interested in this class of workers. The new periodical will be called "The Negro Farmer," and will be published in the village of Greenwood, near the Tuskegee Institute. So far as known, it will be the first paper exclusively devoted to the interests of that large number of persons of the Negro race who till the soil. A corporation has been organized to publish the following paper. The board of directors and officers are as follows: Booker T. Washington, president. Emmet J. Scott, vice-presi- Charles H. Gibson, secretary. Warren Logan, treasurer. Robert R. Taylor. Application for the charter will be made at once; and it is planned to begin publishing the paper early in February. The board of directors have decided to employ the well known writer on economic questions— Mr. Isaac Fisher as Editor, and Mr. C. B. Hosmer as Business Manager—both Tuskegee graduates. Mr. Fisher is the Tuskegee graduate who holds the distinction of having won more prizes in national essay contests than any other member of the race; indeed it is doubtful whether any other writer of any race has taken so many first prizes on different literary subjects in the contests with the best brain of the nation, as has been true of this first editor of the first agricultural journal ever published wholly in the interest of Negro farmers. Mr. Fisher brings to the work, therefore, (1) a trained and logical mind; (2) broad experience in the getting at the truth and root of the question; (3) the reputation of knowing what he is talking about; (4) unusual ability, both as writer and speaker, to represent; speak to and for; and encourage with the dignity which their profession demands, the great body of colored people who till the soil. He will focus all his powers of research and analysis upon those questions which have to do with the conditions and needs of Negro farmers. The Business Manager, Mr Hosmer, took the agricultural course at Tuskegee Institute; and until the acceptance of his new work with the "Negro Farmer," was one of the financial secretaries of Tuskegee in the North and, likewise, comes to his duties well equipped The time is ripe and it is fitting that such a publication as the Negro Farmer be launched. An appeal to the records will justify these statements: According to the census of 1900, 58 per cent of all Negroes in the United States were engaged in agricultural pursuits, leaving but 42 per cent of the colored people in all other occupations. To be more exact, the proportions of the colored people in each of the five great groups of occupations were as follows. In Agricultural, 58.3 per cent. In the Professions, 11.2 per cent. In Domestic and Personal Service, 23 8 percent. In Trade and Transportation, 7.7 percent. In Manufacturing and Mechanical Pursuits, 9 percent. A little reflection will show that the major part of all the newspapers and periodicals of the race are devoted (1) to the general interests of all the groups just named, and (2) to the special interests of the professional class which represented but 1.2 percent of the Negro population; while the agricultural group Capt. W. D: Armstrong Passes Away After an illness of about four years, Capt. W. D. Armstrong, one of the most widely known Negroes of the city, passed away Saturday morning early at his late residence, 519 Bolton street, west, Capt. Armstrong was for many years one of the leading Negro politicians of the district, for two years chairman of the Republican County Committee. The deceased held a pilot's license and was well known all along the Savannah river. He was up to a few years ago on the custodian force of the post office. He was the leading Odd Fellow of the city, holding the position of Deputy of the twelfth division, and a member of Armenia Lodge; he was also among the first menbers of Olympia Lodge, K. of P., later connecting himself with J. W. Armstrong Lodge K. of P. He was a member of Eureka Lodge, Masons and Solomon Temple, Eastern Star, all of which attended the funeral in a body from St. Phillip Church, Charles and West Broad streets. Tuesday morning. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Singleton. Those who took part in the services were: Dr. A. D. Jones, of Atlanta, Rev. J.H. Este, Mrs. Rosa Stevens, and Mr. Ed. H. Burke. A large crowd was in attendance both at church and cemetery. The floral designs were many and beautiful. Capt. Armstrong was born in Owens Ferry, Ga. in 1861, and lived the greater portion of his life in this city. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. F. D. Armstrong; a sister, Mrs. Anna Hammonds and two brothers. the largest of all—has been almost entirely neglected by the periodical press. Negro farmers are beginning to read agricultural papers, and these farmers numbered 893,384 in 1910, not including the ordinary agricultural laborers. But there has been no publication that exactly suited the needs of this class of the population. The "Negro Farmer" will supply this need, for while dealing with the broad problems which concern all races, it will conduct a continuous inquiry into the problems which specially confront and are peculiar to Negro farmers; will seek to suggest remedies for existing evils; and will seek in every way to help elevate agriculture among Ne. groes to the dignity of a profession to the end that those of the race who till the soil may come into possession of some of that prosperity, comfort and happiness which belongs to all people. The paper will seek to bring about closer co-operations between the white landowners and the colored people who rent their land. It proposes to neglect no one of the agencies that ministers to the well being of the farmer, his wife and their children; but it will strive to give publicity to the real, big and fundamental results obtained by colored farmers, and will interpret for these pioneers of progress and prosperity the agricultural happenings of the world. The movement argues well and is of more than passing interest to every section of the country where colored farmers live and to the South in particular; and in view of the fact that the number of Negro farmers has steadily increased since 1890, it may not be too much to expect that these colored farmers, gradually learning to increase the production of their farms, will yet play no small part in helping to reduce the high cost of living. In so far, therefore as this result is highly probable, the Negro farmers are of economic interests to the nation at large; and a paper to help lead and indicate intelligent action in those problems which puzzle and vex the colored farmer is, if not the one thing needful, certainly one of the important needs. Col. A. B. Singfield came up from Savannah last week to be present at the annual meeting of the Pilgrim Insurance Company. His many friends in his old home were glad to see him. Col. Singfield has taken a leading place in insurance and business affairs at Savannah, and his many friends here are glad to know of his success.—Georgia Baptist. Carnegie Library Building To Be Ready July 1 Carnegie Library Building To Be Ready July 1 CONTRACT FOR BUILDING GIVEN MONDAY Building to be Erected on Henry Street, Opposite Dixon Park—Campaign for Additional Fund of Fifteen Hundred Dollars Still on Information of much importance to the Negroes of the city was given out this week when it was learned that the contract for the Carnegie Library for Negroes was given out and that the building is to be ready for occupancy by July first. It was through the liberal donation of $12000.00 by Mr. Andrew Carnegie that the library was made possible. This amount is to be expended for the erection of the building. The library will be situated on the south side of Henry street, opposite Dixon Park. The land on which the building is to be erected was purchased by subscriptions among the Negroes and kindly disposed whites of the city. The curators of the library have already purchased 45 feet of land, which is in the center of three lots, and are hoping to secure $1500.00 more with which to buy the additional 45 feet, upon which they have an option. The placing of the building in the center of the 90 feet of land will allow the library a very advantageous position both from the stand point of light and beauty. New Treasurer of Union Mutual Col. J. C. Lindsay returned Thursday night from Atlanta, where he went on account of a suit brought against the old reliable Union Mutual Insurance Company by Mr. B. J. Davis, the former Treasurer of the Company. Mr. Davis was removed as treasurer and for this reason seeked retention through the courts. He was decided against. Mr. J. H. Kendall is now treasurer of the company. Case Against B. J. Davis Thrown Out of Court In the district court of the United States, northern district of Georgia, eastern division, 1913.

Special Notice The annual meeting of the policy holders of the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company will be held Tuesday evening, February 10th, 1914, at the offices of the Company, 504 West Broad St. Savannah Ga., at 7,P.M. L. M. Pollard, secretary. Capt. W. D. Armstrong By R. E. Pharrow. I first met the deceased something more than two and one half years ago when I came to this city o begin work on St. Philip A. M. tE. church. I had known of him long before meeting him, because of the prominent part he had taken in politics and various other uplifting matters pertaining to the race. Captain Armstrong was indeed a race man and never lost an opportunity to stand out boldly for what he regarded as right, and most of the time in the face of great opposition. As a leader, he was fearless, and when he considered that his position was right, he stood out as strong as the rocks of Gibraltar, and nothing could come between him and his duty to his constituents. As a member of the several secret orders, he was ever alert to their best interest and he laid down his life believing in their true principles. He believed in and practiced the scriptural injunction, "Do unto others as ye wolud have them do to unto you." As a counselor, his advice was often sought and he rarely ever gave a bad advice. He believed in his feuds, and was always loyal, and it mattered not who endoavored to break him away, nothing could change him. As a worker, his superior has yet to be born, and although his lifeless form lies before us, his good work will follow him. Capt Armstrong was a loving husband, and altyough an invalid for several years, he bore his affection with that Christ-like fortitude that was most commendable. We will not have the pleasure of leaving his voice again, nor will we be able to ask his good advice. Indeed, he will ever be missed in duties, in societies and in his church which he loved so well. Peace to his ashes. Among the Hisons O E S, like Masonry, moves silently and steps softly, works quietly but irresistibly, and there is a feeling of reverence about it that stays. Do you ever read the By-Law you promised to obey, and you not sometimes forget the obligation and its duty? It is incumbent on all members of the Order to obey the laws enacted for thejo government and it is imperative on those who have power to conform strictly to the authority conferred on them. It is the duto of those in power to know how to rule acceptably, and then rule accordingly. This requires close study of the ethics. Constitution, laws and by-laws of the Order. The again, obedience to the obligation is imperative and cannot justly be evaded. Masonry is a tradition. Men easily learn to love history to revere the past, to have regard for tradition. Indeed the noblest part of our present lives is largely due to reverence for traditions because tradition gives us the wisdom of the past—the accumulated experience of those who have gone before us. Our lives are what they are because men have enriched the world by their deeds and experiences, by kindness, gentleness and love which are handed down to us by tradition. Our noblest hopes are in the memory of these traditions, our greatest future will depend upon our keeping the traditions of the noble past alive and present, with us. In these parish days of business interests and commercial activity there is a great danger that the ideal may be blotted out of their lives, that the spiritual part of our nature may die within us, that the blind holding on to high motives may be regarded as folly, that the crushing materialism may overwhelm us—Bro. C. C. Dunlap, Kansas A true Freemason is a free man; free from passion; free from prejudice; free from selfishness; free from fanticism, and free from the blind spirit of intolerance.

It is very different now. The majority of those seeking light range under 30 years. Here is a far average: Eighteen of the twenty six city lodges, at their first regular—they all hold two each month—communication in February report: total of forty five petitionors for the degree received of which twenty three were 30 years of age. and under: more than half, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 years old. The majority of those above 30 averaged about 35 years of age.-The St. Louis Masonic Constellation. We, as Masons, should always be ready to defend the character of a brother, but in so doing it is not necessary to go on the warpath every time we hear a brother's reputation attacked, but on the other hand we might remind the offender in a friendly manner that there is a possibility of his being mistaken, and even if he is not there is a better way of making it known than by simply attacking the brother without giving him an opportunity to defend himself. You might also say that having had an opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the brother, you are sure his character is above reproach, and that in order for the accuser to substantiate his ideas it would be necessary for him to indicate some particular time when the brother had done wrong. All this could be performed in a friendly manner and thus the dignity of Masonry be upheld.—The Fraternal Record. MASONIO IDEALS. Aa ideal has been defined as a "conception proposed by the mind for imitation, realization or attainment" Another definition is "a standard or model of perfection and duty." Masonry in ancient times was chiefly concerned in the erection of dwellings or structures for man's use, but now its work is ci cuns rebed to the building of character or the attainment of ideals. Its purpose is to develop the highest usefulness of the individual. A Mason is taught that he should become the possessor of useful knowledge which should be applied to the discharge of all the duties he owes to God and his fellowman, with the hope that in old age he will be happy in the thought that his time has been well spent and that his heritage is that of immortality. If we have high ideals we shall live good lives. "It is not in our stars, but in our ideals that our destinies he." Freemasonry teaches us that we should labor to subdue our passions. Hatred, malice, lust and envy must never become our masters. To conquer one's self is the high ideal our Order teaches. The man who has ruled his own soul has accomplished a greater work than he who has conquered a nation. Freemasonry teaches the equality of man and that the whole world is one great family. It has attracted the artist, the student, the poet, the peasant, the statesman and monarch. Its underlying and eternal principles and ideals have united men of every country and opinion and conciliated the truest friendship among them. Masonry is not a reformatory institution. Men should be Masons at heart before they should be allowed to enter our portals and justice are all Masonic ideals. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, monuments of man's greatness have crumbled into dust, ages of war and revolution have passed away, but Freemasonry notwithstanding has still survived, substantially unchanged in aim and end. The future of our Fraternity depends entirely upon how loyal its members are to its ideals. If Masons are good men and good citizens the influence of our Order for all that is best in life will continue to extend in ever-widening circles, and with an influence wider than before. Freemasonry has always been the exponent of free thought and speech and it is the steadfast champion of political and religious liberty. No Deterrent.

Then visit the command counter and purchase odd lengths of organdles, chiffons, ribbons and silks and from these make that bag. Take a strip of material ten inches by five or any other proportion you may desire and sew the edges neatly together leaving a two inch slit at the top. Finish the sides with a flour of narrow lace and then fill the bag with sweet lavender or potpourri. These make daffyn gifts for the bride or for the birthday anniversary and can be used to scent the linens or underlining.

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

Good form The Silver Wedding. Many of the wedding anniversaries are passed by unnoticed, but the "silver wedding," that comes after twenty-five years of married life, should always be celebrated. A quarter of a century of more or less happy married life is not so common a thing that it should be slighted. Even if one's pocketbook will not stretch to cover an elaborate celebration it is always possible to invite a few relatives and old friends and do the thing simply but none the less enjoyable for all that. If a big reception, or dinner is given on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the wedding the invitations should be engraved. Sometimes a folded sheet of heavy glazed paper similar to a wedding invitation is used and sometimes the invitations are like those used for an evening reception or "At Home." The wording should be engraved in silver and usually runs as follows; 1833. 1813. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stanton Brown request the pleasure of your company at the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding (or silver wedding, as one prefers) Tuesday evening, June nineteenth, at eight o'clock, fifteen hundred and two North Broadway. House Decorations. A very pretty idea is to decorate the house with white flowers, thus recalling the original bridal day, but it is, of course, perfectly permissible to use all sorts of colored blossoms, and many people prefer this as looking gayer and more festive. The hostess, who was the bride of twenty-five years ago, should, if it becomes her, be gowned in white. She is assisted in receiving by her husband, who stands beside her, and who is, of course, in evening dress and wears a white flower, a tiny rosebud or a single white carnation or gardenia in his buttonhole. The grown daughters of the family, whether they are married or single, assist their mother in receiving, while the sons and sons-in-law circulate among the guests and do what they can to make them have a good time. The refreshments can either be served at small tables with an especial table for as many of the original wedding party as can be gathered together after the lapse of years, or they can be served "en buffet," as it is called—that is, passed around to each guest by the waiters assisted by the male members of the family with the single exception of the host of the occasion, and such intimate men friends of theirs as may be pressed into service. "En buffet" means "from the sideboard," but in most cases such refreshments are really served from the large dining table and direct from the kitchen. And this, at a silver wedding, gives occasion for very effective decorations. Appropriate Presents. The question of bringing presents on a wedding anniversary is a vexed one, and many people hesitate to accept an invitation of this sort, fearing that they will be expected to give an expensive piece of silver. Now, such gifts should be left for relatives and intimate friends, and unless one comes under that category it is not really necessary to give anything at all. But so many dainty trifles in silver can be picked up cheaply nowadays that this aspect of the case need not frighten any one who feels better not to go empty handed. Delightful little vases decorated with silver deposit can be purchased as low as 50 cents and odd spoons for a very little more. The Third Person: Frequently the third person is ignored in a conversation. Two friends will indulge in reminiscences that place the extra woman decidedly beyond the pale. This is the height of rudeness. Some explanation that will politely let the outsider know the trend of the talk is due. "The trip of which we are speaking, Miss Jones, was abroad. You probably have had the same experience," will let Miss Jones know that she has not been forgotten and frequently will give her a chance to contribute to the conversation. If by these indirect means you cannot make the third one feel at ease, ask her direct questions. Make her feel that she is welcomed and not ignored. So much can be done by a tactful woman in this big question of the unexpected outsider that it is shameful to ignore the chances. And, my dear readers, do not let a day come when you will be ashamed to look in the face a friend or acquaintance who has been unfortunately an outsider. Above all, see that the third person is escorted to her home before you yourself are seen safely to the front door. Vacation Introductions. Now that summer vacations are in order, the need of frequent introductions is very apparent, for new faces are constantly appearing, and custom demands that stringers be formally introduced to each other by a third person. Remember that the simplest form is the best. Do not give a lengthy introductory paragraph which leaves the two stringers standing in embarrassment. If you will keep in mind that a name should be clearly pronounced, to prevent all future trouble, you will form a habit of saying the names slowly and distinctly. 1 MRS. JOHN H. HANAN (TOP) AND MRS. CHARLES CARY RUMSEY. That women of wealth are often careless with jewels of great price is again evidenced in the case of Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey, daughter of Mrs. E. H. Harriman, who recently lost from her Newport home gems valued at $100,000. Mrs. Rumsey, it seems was in the habit of leaving a number of her favorite jewels in an unlocked bureau drawer, their resting place being two pasteboard boxes. Now every woman knows what a lot of personal plunder can find a home in a dressing table drawer, and she also knows what an easy thing it is to upset boxes and drag out some treasured article unawares from this convenient spot; this is annoying to the owner of the belonging besides being unnecessary temptations to dishonest servants. Mrs. John H. Hanan, wife of the wealthy shoe manufacturer of New York, also a recent victim of jewelry theft, owes her loss to the carelessness of a maid left in charge of jewels to be placed in a secret drawer which were stolen while the maid was absent from the room for a few minutes. It is known that in foreign countries many women of wealth are content to wear duplicates of their fine jewels, and with the lack of supervision in country houses it would not be a bad idea on this side of the water for women to follow their example. On one occasion many years ago the late Mrs. Paran Stevens reported the loss at a fashionable ball of a diamond and emerald tiara. The host was in great distress when Mrs. Stevens went to him the day following to ask if there was any trace of the lost ornament, and upon learning that it had not been found she said: "Well, don't worry; they were only imitation and I did not want them to fall into strange hands." When Mrs. Potter Palmer used to go to Bar Harbor she always carried there for the season imitations of her wonderful pearls, whose value was well known the world over. Mrs. Palmer did not care to have the responsibility of so much that was valuable and in traveling she always left her best jewels in the safe deposit vault at her Chicago home. Minnesota Women Try Dress Reform. Declaring that the present styles in dresses are not fit for modest women, and those who refuse to wear tight skirts are obliged to do without new garments, the Fourth district of the Federation of Women's clubs of Minnesota has stated a dress reform which it is proposed to make nation wide. Recently the board wrote to every manufacturer and buyer of ready made clothing for women and to every manufacturer and publisher of dress patterns making an appeal for modification of the present styles. The letter being sent to the clothing manufacturers reads: "The executive board of the Fourth district of the Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs, at the request of a number of women, ask that, beginning with the next season, there be furnished some very attractive, up to date garments where the width at the bottom of the skirts, shall be two yards for a woman of thirty-six inch bust measure, well proportioned, not drawing tight across the form at any part, and reaching within three inches of the shoe; other sizes in proportion. "Many women under protest have been obliged to use the present styles of ready made clothing, but very many have informed us that they have done without new garments rather than buy such as have been offered during the last few months. We ask for some different styles for modest gentlewomen from those suited to the demimondaine." The appeal to the manufacturers and publishers of patterns is worded the same, except that the letter states that few women who use patterns are competent to make changes in them and that many object seriously to the rules furnished during the last few months and ask relief. The pattern makers are asked to change their product for the next month's issue of patterns. MISFORTUNE Disappointment and misfortune are not always evils. Disappointment will make us conversant with the noble part, of our nature. It will chasten us and prepare us to meet accident on higher ground the next time. As Hannibal taught the Romans the art of war, so is all misfortune only a stepping stone to fortune.—H. D. Thoreau. Curious Cradles. "The Lapland babe's cradle," said a man who has traveled, "is its mother's shoe—its mother's snowshoe. This snowshoe is covered with skin and stuffed with soft moss. When so disposed the Lapland mother can hang her baby to a tree by the thonga. "The Indian baby wears a nose ring and a vell, and its cradle is a basket swung from its mother's head. "But the strangest cradle of all is the New Guinea baby's. The mothers of New Guinea bury their babies in the soft white desert sand up to the waist. This keeps them out of mischief. It is the only cradle they ever know." Humor From the Hospital Humor From the Hospital. Perhaps the best story in Sir Edward Cook's "Life of Florence Nightingale" is that of a wounded Crimean sergeant who picked up a wounded comrade and stumbled back to camp. The rescued man turned out to be a general and waited on his rescuer in hospital. The latter, wrote Miss Nightingale, exclaimed: "Oh, general. It's you, is it, I brought in? I'm so glad I didn't know it was your honor, but if I'd known it was you I'd have saved you all the same!" Not as bad as It Might Have Been Not as Bad as it Might Have Been. "Now that your boys have gone away to school and your daughters have got married I suppose you find it rather dismal around home, don't you. Mr Cadgerley?" "Well, it's not as bad as it might be. When I begin carving at dinner now I always know that it will be my turn to eat before everything is so cold that it is tasteless."—Chicago Record-Herald. Sunshine Is Egypt's Charm. It is hard to make any one who has not been there feel the spell of Egypt, the enchantment of a land so full of the drowsy gold of romance and the witchery of the African sunshine. But somehow in Egypt one feels that he has come very near to the fountain of youth. You become a sun worshiper all at once. You forget that you ever had any care or trouble. Somewhere on route you become a lotus eater. Hoary old Egypt has a fascination. The Calrene mosques and bazaars get a hold on you. You enjoy the strange antifheses which constantly confront you on the "streets of Calro"—every place is such a mixture of beauty, history and mystery.—Suburban Life. What We Owe to Baseball To baseball, according to A. G. Spalding in World's Work, is due our athletic supremacy over the rest of the world. "Baseball," he says, "combines running, jumping, throwing and everything that constitutes the athletic events of the Olympian games. But above all it imparts to the player that degree of confidence in competition, that indefinable something, that enables one athlete to win over another who may be his physical equal, but who is lacking the American spirit begotten of baseball." The Spur. The chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do the best we can—Emerson. Women Were Brewers. The brewing trade in England was formerly almost wholly in the hands of women. Until the close of the eighteenth century the preparation of ale for the household was ralloned among the duties of the mistress and her maids. The same custom prevailed in the brewing of ale for sale, and the "brewsters" or "alewives" long held a great part of the trade, both in town and country. Philosophers will remember the termination that was feminine—the "spinster" the "sempster" and the "brewster."—London Chronicle. Tracing Back a Joke. It is difficult to find the genesis of the funny story. You know the one of the lady who objected to the man smoking in the railway carriage. She plucked away his cigar and fung it out of the window. The man picked up her pet dog and hurled it after his cigar because both dogs and cigars were illegal there. In a week end reading I have just found that story in Dostoevski's "The idiot." told by a Russian who had fought in the Crimea. He was convicted of having stolen it from a newspaper. The story probably originated with Noah in the overcrowded ark. And it is good to think our ancestors laughed as heartily as we do.-London Opinion. An Unpleasant Encounter. "I was told young Staylate had quite an encounter with Maude Brown's father?" "Yes, he did. He met the old man tacking home from the club just as he was leaving the house and in trying to avoid one another they both fell down the terrace and broke a seven dollar garden vase. And now the old man says he was assaulted by two burly ruffians, and Staylate doesn't dare to go, near the house for scar he'll be recognized as both of them."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. THE HELPING HAND. Lend a word of cheer whenever you can to those who are struggling and despondent. It is a great thing to have a talent for appreciation. He can do much good in the world who recognizes the good other people are doing and tells them of it.

In Prestbury churchyard, near Macclesfield, England, may be found the following epitaph on a chemist: Willie's dead—we're full of woe We'll never see him more. He thought to drink of H₂O 'Twas HSO'. A Natural Curiosity. "Do you know what I do when a man offers me advice?" said the curbstone philosopher. "No." "Ask him if he's tried it."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Another Idea. "Dear, when shall I install you as the mistress of a dear little home?" "You may as well understand now first as last, John Henry, that there won't be any home on the installment plan."—Baltimore American. Juries In Germany.

A Defect A little girl was playing with a girl friend of her own age on the porch of her home. An elderly gentleman, her mother's father, and an elderly lady, her father's mother, were sitting on the porch talking pleasantly with each other. The little girl had often wished her grandparents were of the same name, like other children's grandparents. Presently the little guest remarked, "What a nice grandmother and grandfather you have!" "Oh, yes! she said, with a sigh" "but they don't mafeh." Idleness Is Death. Most men cannot be idle and live. That sounds strange. It is true. It is a law of nature. If a man past forty leads an idle life the probability is that he will live to be fifty-seven years old. If he leads a harmonious and sufficiently occupied life he will live to be sixty-six. This is the experience of life insurance companies, which make a specialty of old age annuities. The figures tell the story. Idleness is harder on the vital organs of mankind than work. To be idle is to die. Philadelphia Ledger. Surprises For the Librarian "No man gets a better insight into what people read than the public librarian, and a friend of mine, custodian of a library in a poor South London district, can cite many instances of a taste for the higher things of literature in unexpected places," says a writer in an English publication. "Among his regular borrowers are a policeman who specializes on sociology, a lavatory attendant who borrows little else but works on education and psychology, a commissionaire with a taste for abstuse theology and two ring and bone shopkeepers, one of whom studies only theosophy and Buddhism, the other only art." COTTON FOR NORTHERN CALI FORNIA. A good many important discoveries of one kind and another have been in a large measure accidental. In the way of illustrating the truth of this may be mentioned the attempt which will be made the coming season* on a considerable scale to grow cotton in northern California. Less than a year ago the Southern Pacific employee who has charge of the pumping station at Roseville, Cal., 107 miles from San Francisco, got a handful of seed from a carload of cotton that was sidetracked at, the point mentioned en route north from the Imperial valley. He sowed the seed in a garden spot near the station and was surprised to note how thrifty it grew. The bolls popped open, and the branches of the plant bent under the weight of the ripe cotton. Neighboring ranchers and others heard of his success in growing the cotton and have contracted for seed, with the idea of extending the experiment. This is likely to prove an interesting phase of the development of the cotton growing industry of the Golden State, whose output of cotton, chiefly from the Imperial valley, has increased from 100 bales in 1909 to 100,000 bales the past season. SOME INTERESTING COMPARI- SONS That largest crop yields do not always net the grower the most money is shown very emphatically in a comparison of some of the stimple crops of 1912 and 1913. In the case of the corn crop the total yield for 1913 is 22 per cent below that of the year previous, yet the growers will receive 6 per cent more for it, and this amounts to $100,000,000. In the case of potatoes, the past season's crop is at 30 per cent below what it was in 1912, yet it will not the growers $10,000,000 more than did the preceding year's crop. Cotton furnishes an even more striking instance of the truth mentioned. Although the yield of the past year's crop is put at nearly a million bales less than that of 1912, a decrease of 5 per cent, the growers will receive for it, at 14 cents per pound, 22 per cent more than they did for the 1912 crop. This amounts to a cash increase of $125,000,000. CIDER SIRUP: An experiment is being made at Hood River, Ore., this winter that will be watched with much interest by apple growers everywhere who have the cull apple problem on their hands. In the experiment in question the sweet cider as it is extracted from the apples is evaporated until the residue is of about the consistency of thin sirup. This is canned and is said to keep for an indefinite time. On being diluted with water it is said to be in every respect equal to the original cider from which the sirup was secured. This matter of keeping cider sweet without preservatives has been a knotty problem—in fact, it hasn't been solved—and if the method referred to proves as satisfactory as the claims made for it apple growers of the country will have grounds for feeling elated. ORCHARD CARE,PAYS. That painstaking care in the spraying and thinning of fruit and in the selection and packing of it at harvest will pay in the New England states as well as out in Washington and Oregon is shown in the record of prizes won by a Mr. Sawyer of Salisbury, N. H., during two successive years on an exhibit of a single barrel-of Baldwin apples. In trophies and cash these two barrels of apples have netted their owner $36S. The fruit shown was from trees twenty-five years old that were set out by the owner when he was a lad in high school. About the only observation that need now be made concerning these prize winning apples is that the orchard that produced them was not run as an incidental, side issue calf pasture proposition SKIMMILK FOR POULTRY. A contributor to an agricultural paper tells of an experiment he made in the feeding of skimmilk to poultry that proves its value in a very definite way. He divided sixty pullets into two even lots. One lot was fed skimmilk as a part of the ration, and the other was given water. The test began Nov. 1 and closed May 1. In this period of six months the flock that had been given skimmilk produced $52.65 worth of eggs at a cost for feed of $18.97. The flock that had been given water produced $30.94 worth of eggs, while their feed bill was $23.72. Buttermilk is nearly as good as skimmilk and either should be fed to the hens whenever it can be bad. CATTLE ABORTION. A report recently issued by the bureau of animal industry of the federal department of agriculture calls attention to the serious nature of contagious abortion in cattle, a malady that ranks next to tuberculosis in the inroads it makes in the cattle raising industry. The cause of the disease has been discovered, and it has been found that the virus can be introduced into the body of a cow in several ways. When a cow becomes infected with the disease her milk becomes polsonous to her offspring. A further interesting discovery in connection with the disease is that germs may be given off for years in the milk of cows that no longer abort. J.C. Pigg Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, G., as Second-Class mail matter. That the well-meaning and thoughtful white people of our community are in sympathy with every movement put forth by our people for their moral and economic uplift, is attested every now and then when an occasion which gives opportunity for inter-racial co-operation comes about. This is as it should be and is a condition or state of affairs worthy of the highest commendation. For any community to make progress, there must be co-operative effort on the part of its inhibitants. Any general movement put forth for the good of a community, it matters not by what race, nationality or individual, if it is for the common weal; ought to receive the undivided support of every bona fide citizen of that community. For cimany years, our city, Savannah has enjoyed the distinction of being a city in which there is very little if any friction between the races. As time goes on and as our commercial interests increase, this reputation seems to justify itself more and more. We as a people are indeed proud of this condition of affairs and are determined to do all in our power through increased efficiency and otherwise to make ourselves a more constructive force of the community in which racial relations tend to such pleasantness and helpfulness. Our advice to our people at this time is that each one of them must feel it his duty to do his full share in making our city a larger and better city and in strengthening the friendly feelings of white friends toward us. We must feel that we are a part of Savannah, that every movement put forward in its behalf affects us just as it does any other part of its citizenry. Hence, it is our bounden duty to lend a helping hand, however weak, to any movement inaugurated for the common good. In so doing, we shall, in a large measure, show our worth, and at the same time merit the help and co-operation of our white friends which has come to us from time to time. We as a people, do cherish the present relations of the races and sincerely trust that the same may continue for the good of all concerned. The information that beginning February 1st, of this year, there will issue from the press of Tuskegee Institute a bi-monthly farm journal devoted exclusively to the interests of Negro farmers throughout the country, is indeed both illuminating and interesting and at the same time gives a true ring to the unselfish motives which impel the great head of Tuskegee and those immediately associated with him to serve the people in a way that will do the most good to the most of them. That agriculture is the foundational industry of our country, there can be no doubt. The people of our country both white and black are beginning to realize this more and more as time passes. However it is true that owing to a lack of information on the part of those engaged in farming anent the best agricultural methods to be employed on farms, this great industry is conducted on a much less intensive scale than it should be. This is true despite the fact that our National and State governments have spent millions of dollars within the past few years maintaining a department of agriculture and establishing experiment stations, agricultural schools and other agricultural agencies throughout the country. The great thinkers of our country are fast realizing that we as a people are not living up to the agricultural opportunities of our country owing to a lack of information concerning the same. As a result, much legislation of an agricultural nature is being agitated. The Smith Lever agricultural extension on bill, providing for federal aid in the dissemination, of scientific farm information which has just been passed by the House and which is most likely to pass the Senate gives a good line on the thoughts of our law makers along agricultural lines. Our people, many of them, live on farms. Many of them are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Some as land owners, others as tenants and still others as farm hands till the soil each day. In order to become progressive and efficient farmers they need education. They need to know more about the soil and how to improve it. They need to know more about the seed selection and the like. Much, if not all of the information now available on these subjects passes, as it were, over their heads. They do not give this information. However, they need this advanced agricultural information, if not more than their white fellow farmers, at least as much. In establishing a semi-monthly agricultural journal, it is believed that many of our farmers who through ignorance or otherwise, have failed to profit by the expenditure of our government of vast sums of money for agricultural advancement will be reached and helped accordingly. Hence, the Wizard of Tuskegee, while he does not allow himself nor the school of which he is the head, to lay claim to the authorship or promotion of this great and timely undertaking, knowing as he does that such a procedure would give little, destructive minds points of vantage from which to attack the new movement. at the same, is giving this new movement his moral and, we believe, his financial support. Our new agricultural journal, devoted to the needs and improvement of Negro farm owners, tenants and farm hands, ought to enjoy a long and useful life. We have good reasons to believe that it will, for with such men behind it as there are, coupled with importance and the timeliness of the cause which it will serve there can be no question of its ultimate triumph as an agency of uplift for our people. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church Tuesday, with Rev. P. F. Curry, president, in the chair. The business of the Union was taken up in the usual way; no new business was taken up except comment upon the most excellent work done by the Urban league, and the chair urged the members to accept the invitation to meet and co-operate with this great movement whose figures glow with inspiration to help our own poor. Then the sermonic discussion was taken up and the Rev. J. S. Stripling gave an outline from John 1: 29. "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world." We gleamed from this discourse much helpfulness Tuesday 27th, sermonic discussion will be continued. All preachers are expected to be ready to preach. St. Benedict's Church On Tuesday the 13th of January the new officers of St. Mary's society were installed by Rev G. Obrecht, their chaplain. After the ceremony was over, a very nice and succulent supper was enjoyed by the members of that organization, served in the basement of St Benedict's church. A week later, on the 19th inst., the members of the Catholic Mutual Aid society assembled for the same purpose and their new officers were installed by Rev. E. Peter, assistant pastor of St Benedict's On that occasion several speeches were made during the banquet by Mr. J. C. Williams, president; Mr. Wm Bulloch, vice president; Mr. Jos King treasurer, and others. The principal theme of their addresses was the big fair which is to be held in the basement, from the 9th until February 20th inclusive. Different committees have been nominated two weeks ago to preside at the fancy tables at the country store, and to run a restaurant on quite new lines. Mrs. Lapham and Mrs. Mary Taylor, experts in the art of cooking and assisted by a drilled staff of helpers, will serve every day, during the fair. Regular suppers will be on hand at the price of 25 or 50 cents from 3 p. m. to 11 p. m. Announcement is made also to the public that a new Catholic club has come to light under the name of Cheerful Workers of St. Benedict's. This club will work side by side and in harmony with the other societies for the growth and welfare of our dear church. St. Philip Dots The first quarterly conference of at Philippe counch adjourned on Sunday night after a very successful quarter. Presiding Elder sumpon preached at 11 a. text, Matt. 25:36, subject "A call to duty." Rey. Sampson again preached at 8:15 p. m., John 7:37 subject "The Gospel Feast." Both of the discussions were very good and were listened to with marked attention. On Monday night next January 26th the great DeRojon, the musical wonder, will give a musical entertainment at St. Philip for the benefit of the church, admission 15 cents. There will also be given a Tom Thumb wedding for the benefit of the church. Mr. J. J. Bignon was elected a delegate to the district conference which will meet in March.

Holbrook, Robert Powell, Frank H. Thomas. Mr. W. D. Armstrong, after an illness of more than three years, died on Saturday January 17. Bro.

Church St. Paul C. M. E. Church St. Paul members and friends were blessed with two very strong sermons Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Martin. At 11 a. m. the sermon was preached from Matt 7:29., the subject of the discourse was, "Obedience to Authority." St. Paul has had its Sunday school doubled in attendance since the pastorate of Dr. Martin, and his people give him great credit for the increase. Each member is urged to pay 50 cents Sunday as church debt fund.

A Card Greetings: I wish to thank my many friends for their generous hospitality shown me during my visit to Savannah. All that could be was done to make my stay happy, which I heartily and happily appreciate. Yours truly, Mme. Estelle, 72 W. 133rd St. New York City Mme. Estelle of the French- American Beautifying Parlors and School of Beauty Culture of New York, noted hair, culturist, spent a while in this city recently. Mme Estelle's visit here was undoubtedly of interest to the women of Savannah. The hair is woman's crowning glory and no woman need have poor, thin, short, unsigttly hair when it can be so easily remedied by the simple use of Mme. Estelle's own production, "Estelle's Nu-Life for the Hair." When spending your summer vacation in New York, visit her school of instructions, take a look over her parlors which are located at 72, W. 133 street. Card of Thanks Mrs. W. D. Armstrong desires to thank her friends for the many kindnesses shown her during the four years' illness of her husband, and during her bereavement and for the many floral designs given.

Of course we do not believe in such as "bad luck" etc., but since so many of our friends have kept reminded of the danger of becoming the victim of some form of "hoo doo-ism" we thought it wise to be more careful along business lines in 1913 than we would have been under ordinary circumstances and as a consequence we just literally "cleaned up" for old "hoo-doo."

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED A good share of the cork used throughout the world comes from Portugal, which harvests about 50,000 tons a year. Those few weeks of warm, foggy weather in the fall gave a good many householders the satisfaction of putting one over on both the iceman and the coal dealer. As a result of careful feeding tests it has been found that corn cut and stored as silage will yield 13 per cent more milk and 11 per cent more butter fat than a like amount of corn cut and fed as dry forage. The reasons for having a new model automobile are just as urgent as are those calling for the latest styles in women's dresses and headgear. Moreover, it takes a bit more coin to keep up with the procession. Timothy hay is not rated by dairymen as an economical ration in milk production, but where good yields of it can be produced and sold for concentrated foods having larger percentages of protein the plan should prove quite satisfactory. An unusual feature of the recent international live stock show was the winning of grand champion honors in the Shorthorn class by Ringmaster, a six-year-old animal that has won the same honors at two preceding live stock shows, those of 1910 and 1911. A friend who has tried it has found that his hogs do not do so well when fed on the swill from restaurants as when given a ration of buttermilk and corn, and this notwithstanding the fact that the scraps from these eating places contain a good deal of nourishing food. Deciduous trees are normally considered dormant during the month of December, but a freak condition of the present winter is shown in the sap running from a hard maple tree when hacked with an ax, together with a swelling of the buds to a size far beyond what they ought to be. A country lass made a snug sum of money the other day as a result of a dicker with her father, he having agreed to pay her the market price for all the money she could husk in a day. She took him at his word and by nightfall had gathered fifty-eight bushels, for which she received 60 cents a bushel, or $1.80. Fresh air in the schoolroom is just as vital a factor in efficient educational work as are competent teachers and up to date schoolbooks, maps and other equipment. However, in spite of the fact that, it costs a whole 100 more in the loss of efficiency to have a schoolhouse poorly rather than properly ventilated, all too many belong in the former class. In the national egg laying contest recently brought to a close at Mountain Grove, Mo., the first prize for best individual record was made by a rose comb White Leghorn pullet raised at Maryville, Mo., her output of eggs for the year being 260. She weighed but two and three-quarter pounds, and the eggs she laid during the year weighed twelve times her own weight. German chemists are said to have perfected what they call soy milk, which is manufactured from Chinese beans. The product is used quite extensively by peasants and is said to be very nourishing. A Belgian chemist has produced an imitation of meat, made from yeast and vegetable products. It is similar to flesh in texture and, to some extent, in taste and is a good deal cheaper. Professor Scott, forester of the Kansas State Agricultural college, recommends very strongly the planting of the Chinese arbor vitia as a windbreak in the western counties of the state. During the past twenty years, he reports, they have withstood the somewhat trying climatic conditions without serious injury. Under favorable conditions the trees will attain a height of thirty to forty feet and will be from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter. If your roosters begin crowing too early in the morning you may shut off the disturbance by putting them in coops so low that they can't stand up, for a rooster can't crow unless he can stand up and stretch his neck. The truth is this fact most every small boy has been when he has thrown cobats at cars as they have started to crow the dropping of the head and effort to run away putting a dumper on the crowing apparatus in a very entertaining fashion. Pure maple shrup on route from producer to destination, plainly labeled as to contents, seems to be just about as liable to raiding by those through whose hands it passes as are watermelons in a community with a low grade of colored population. The losses of sheep from disease the past year are put at 2 per cent less than for the year preceding and from exposure at 10 per cent less than for the preceding year. Applied to the aggregate number of animals and values on Jan. 1, this means a loss of 2,559,000 head, valued at $10,082,000. The trap nest, which has no doubt been of great service in helping to determine the hens that really are the largest egg producers, is not feasible for those poultry keepers who are not able to make frequent visits to the poultry house so as to release the hens after their eggs are laid. Albert Lea, Minn., has an agricultural department that is rendering a distinct service to the farmers of the adjoining territory in that the instructor in charge, Professor Hedgecock, has been largely instrumental in arousing interest in and in organizing one of the four cow testing associations of the county. A well known eastern poultryman in a recent address before the Connecticut Agricultural college recommended the use of plain tallow as far superior to coal oil as a material for greasing the roots for the warding off of lice and mite, for the reason that one treatment a year would be effective, as the trow does not evaporate as does kerosene. A very effective as well as satisfactory method of heating small houses is by means of a bricked in stove placed in the cellar. Not only is much dirt kept out of the living rooms in this way, but a maximum value of fuel consumed is realized. Besides this, a pretty plain stove can be used in the cellar, which wouldn't do at all were it to be set in the parlor. The hog breeder who for several years has won first prize on barrows at the international live stock show and who got first at the recent show on an eighteen months' old pig weighing 500 pounds uses oilmeal exclusively to furnish the proteins needed to balance the grain rations which he gives his hogs. This is in the nature of expert testimony and should have a suggestion for those who have the hog feeding proposition on their hands. The turkey is said to be the only domestic fowl of the present day that can properly be credited to America. The fowl was discovered by Pedro Niho, a Spanishard, on the coast of Cumaná, north of Venezuela, in 1493, and the following year was taken to Spain. Turkeys were raised in large numbers by the Aztecs and other people of Mexico and Central America. By 1570 turkey had become the accepted Christmas dish of the English farm, and a half dozen years later was introduced into France. The farmers in Grant county, Wis. have inaugurated a plan for the cooperative grinding of limestone that might well be followed in other sections of the country where lime is needed for the sweetening of sour soils. The work is being done under the direction of the State Agricultural college. A small portable outfit, consisting of engine and crusher, is being used, which can be readily transported from one neighborhood to another. Large deposits of limestone beneath the surface soil make the undertaking a relatively simple one. It is not generally known that, when properly cooked, the sugar beet makes a palatable article of food for the table. It contains from 15 to 17 per cent of sugar, while the common red garden beet contains but from 10 to 12 per cent of sugar. Some one who has tried them suggests the following methods for cooking: Wash the beets, but do not remove the skin, leaving a portion of the top on so as to retain the juices. Cook in boiling water until tender; then peel and quarter or cut into slices. Make a suce of melted butter, pepper and salt, pour over beets and serve hot. In a certain county in Kansas they have been improving some of the main roads, and a farmer who uses one of these improved highways in hauling his produce to market has figured out that he saves enough in one day's hauling to pay his share of the increased road tax. Before the road was improved he used to haul one load of fifty bushels of grain a day. Since the road has been improved he has been able to haul two loads of seventy-five bushels each. This would seem to be a simple yet forceful object lesson, showing the value of better country highways. It is safe to assume that potato growers of the country will very generally support the action of the federal horticultural board in placing an embargo on potatoes from Canada and those European countries where the black wart and powdery scab have attacked the potato crop. There would be small advantage coming to the consumer if, to relieve somewhat the high prices for potatoes prevailing for the present winter, diseased foreign tubers were admitted only in the end to containinate American fields and restrict in a large measure the output of marketable potatoes, resulting in a permanent advance in prices. SOME FOOD VALUES. One exhibit at the national dairy show held some weeks ago in Chicago was both unique and interesting: It was arranged by the Milk Producers' Association of Northern Illinois and consisted of an exhibit of a dozen different kinds of foods, including milk, eggs, beef, fish, nuts and several kinds of fruits and vegetables, the amount of each article shown being that which was required to furnish the amount of nutriment contained in one quart of milk, the cost of the several articles being based upon current retail prices. The exhibit was illuminating and instructive and doubtless had suggestions for those heads of families who are a bit perplexed with the high cost of living problem. The cost of the twelve articles shown is given in the following decimal fractions of a dollar: Milk. .08; eggs. .29; beef. .148; codfish. .141; cornmeal. .009; potatoes. .026; cabbage. .10; oranges. .226; apples. .092; bananas. .10; prunes. .061; nuts. .163. From these figures it will be seen at a glance that far and away the cheapest food article of the list is "cornmeal, which costs but one-third as much as potatoes, while the latter food costs but one-third as much as milk. Milk on the other hand, at 8 cents a quart, costs less than a third as much as eggs at 35 cents per dozen. Cabbage and bananas cost the same, prunes about two-thirds as much as these, while meat and fish cost about the same and nuts a trifle more. Eggs were the most expensive food shown, and oranges rank next to them. A SERIOUS PEST. For a good many years the onion was considered practically pest free, but within recent years what is known as the onion smut has spread to many sections of the country, at its worst being so serious a handicap as to render the culture of the vegetable unprofitable. A serious feature of this pest is that the spores of the fungus are not eradicated from the soil by crop rotations covering a period of five years. The disease is spread by the tools with which an infected field is worked more than by the seed. Large growers in some sections have found effective a solution made by diluting 40 per cent formalin in thirty gallons of water and applying with a drip attachment on a seed drill at the rate of from 500 to 700 gallons of the solution per acre. MORE EGG LAYING CONTESTS Within the past three or four weeks new egg laying contests to run a year have been started at both Storrs college, Connecticut, and at Mountain Grove, Mo. The remarkable interest that has been aroused among poultry ratters everywhere in these contests is shown in the fact that in the contest which is being conducted in Missouri there are entered six pens of layers from New Zealand, three from Australia, two from Canada, three from England, one each from Germany and South Africa, two from Vancouver and sixty-six pens from the United States. The world's record for egg production is held by a pen of six Australian birds that averaged 264.8 eggs each during a year. PIG PROGRESS. With a view to increasing the interest of Oregon farmers in growing hogs, the Portland Union stock yards has agreed to furnish a young pig to every school in the state that will take care of one. The gift is made on the condition that some pupil in each school shall keep an accurate record of what the pig eats and how it is cared for. The company further agrees to buy the pig back when it is ready to market and pay full price for it. An Oregon paper, in speaking of the plan, remarks that in ten years it will not be surprising if every country school in the state is not only supplied with pigs, but with a flock of poultry and one or more dairy cows. The idea would seem to be a capital one. BREAK UP THE SUBSOIL. While theoretically a farmer gets anything in the air above his lan in the earth beneath, he seldom actually uses more than six inches of the surface soil. The productive period of many a farm could be extended were deeper plowing to be resorted to on such farms and upon those where the soil is plowed more shallow still. Deep plowing would not only break up and mellow the subsoll and thus make available its fertility, but would increase the capacity of the soil to retain moisture during a protracted dry spell. Many a farmer appreciates the facts stated and by deep plowing has increased his farm value by a half without adding to the number of his acres. CARE OF THE LAWNS. We usually think of care of the lawn as extending over the period between the first and last cuttings of the season. The average lawn, where the grass is clipped and removed, needs care besides this that is all too seldom given. This consists in giving it at intervals of not more than two or three years a generous top dressing of well rotted manure. This should be applied after the ground is frozen solid and should be allowed, to remain until spring, when the coarsest of it may be raked off. The fertilizing elements will have leached into the soil, and the finer particles of manure will have settled down into the roots of the grass. J. H.

Text of the Lesson, Luke viii, 1-3; x, 38-42—Memory Verses, Luke x, 40-42—Golden Text, Matt. xxv, 40—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The title of this lesson, "Ministering to Jesus," is a fascinating one and is found in chapter viii, 3, concerning the women who ministered unto Him of their substance. Angels delighted to minister unto Him when He was here in humiliation, as they did in the wilderness after His conflict with the devil (Matt. iv, 11); also at His birth and in Gethesemane and at His resurrection and no doubt always, according to Ps. cili. 20, 21, whorow we read of them as ministers of His that do His pleasure, heartening unto the voice of His word. What an honor unspeakable for us, who are saved sinners, to minister in any way unto Him who made us, who came from heaven to redeem us, who dled for our sins, who as the risen Christ lives for us at God's right hand and will share His kingdom and glory with us. He was always showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God (viii, 1) and giving samples of life in the kingdom by healing all manner of disease (Matt. iv, 23), for when the kingdom comes "the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick, and the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity" (Isa. xxxiii, 24). Forgiveness of sins is the first step toward the kingdom, as we learn from Luke xxiv, 40, 47; Acts xxll, 38, 39, and that this is the privilege of all who receive Him is plainly set forth in Eph 1, 6, 7; Col. 1, 12-14; Rev. 1, 5, 6. We must not think of the church as the kingdom nor Christ in us nor aught but that spoken of by our Lord when He taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth" (Luke xl, 2). It will begin with Israel, who shall be all righteous, and all of them shall know Him from the least of them unto the greatest of them. Jerusalem shall be the throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered unto it to the name of the Lord. for it shall be the first city of truth on earth (Isa. ix. 21; Jer. xxxl. 34; lil. 17; Zech. vill. 3, 7, 8, 22, 23). While we wait for the kingdom and live to hasten it (not extend it, for we cannot extend that which has not yet begun) we may daily minister unto Him in all that we do. These women were true believers, and all believers are kings and priests unto God (Rev. 1, 5, 6). We are reminded of a sentence concerning the priests in Israel, "That he may minister unto me in the priest's office" (Ex. xxviii. 1, 3, 4, and elsewhere), these ten words being the translation of two little words in Hebrew. The words "unto Him" in verse 3 of this part of our lesson suggest many most helpful words for our daily life, such as "Uto Him that loved us." "Uto Him that is able." "Uto Him be glory." "Uto Him who died for us and rose again" (Rev. 1. 5; Eph. iii, 20, 21; II Cor. v. 15). As to the women ministering, note Paul's reference to the women who labored with him in the gospel (Phil. iv, 3); that the gospel was first preached in Europe at a woman's prayer meeting, and the first convert seems to have been Lydia, who received the apostles into her house and took care of them (Acts xvi, 13-15). Note also the revised version of Ps. lviii, 11. Whatever He may give us the privilege of doing. He only expects us to do as He gives the ability, and our aim must be that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ (I Petiv, 11). However much we may be able to do, we should always say as David did. "All things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee" (I Chron, xxxl, 14). In the second part of our lesson we have a home scene, that blessed and honored home in Bethany, and the two sisters ministering, each in a somewhat different way. Mary could not have been idle or neglectful, else the Lord would not have commended her. I have no doubt but that she did all that was necessary, evidently all that the Lord thought necessary, and then she found time to sit at Jesus' feet and hear His word. Martha wanted more than either her sister or the Lord thought needful and was a bit put out with Mary for not thinking as she did. Happy are those housekeepers who would rather please the Lord than their visitors and who always count upon the Lord as one of the guests. Simple fare is more acceptable to Him, who was oft content with bread and fish, than the superfluities of life. Although Martha did not serve as care free as Mary on this occasion, yet it is written, "Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus" (John xi. 5). He loved them all. But why is Martha there mentioned by name and not her sister? Is it because weakest lambs have largest share of the shepherd's love? Was it for the same reason that He gave Simon Peter a special interview alone on the resurrection day? (Luke xxiv. 34.) After the resurrection of Lazarus He was again in this loved home, and Mary anointed him before hand for his burial. They made Him a supper, and Martha served, but there is no further mention of her being cumbered (John xi. 1-7). ```markdown ``` The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish.

The rent in the material will now be almost invisible on the outside, and the mending will last as long as the dress or suit—London Answers. Gossip In the Club. Only one thing is fatal to the happy social life of any country community, and that is gossip. If the women in their clubs cannot find in the wide field of housekeeping, chicken raising, preserving, care of children, public schools, music, art, reading, public improvements, good government, health, sewing, entertaining and all other delightful household tasks enough material to lift the meetings above petty personalities, then the little club or whatever it is called is doomed. Whenever gossip is allowed to creep into any organization people will begin to break up into little cliques or circles or groups, and the whole thing falls.—Hilda Richmond in Farm and Flireside. Tides of the Mind. Shakespeare tells us that there is a tide in the affairs of men. Certainly there is a tide in the minds of men. He must be very unobservant of himself who does not know that the mind rises and falls, that it swells into fulness and strength and then fades into emptiness and weakness, we know not how, we know not why. Formerly the tides of the sea were also a great mystery. Blowly did observation disclose that they were under the influence of the moon and, still later, of the sun. So with the tides of the mind. We are taught now that they are caused and governed by our faith and by our love.—Theophilus Parsons. Bonehead Stick. A grewsome walking stick was that used by the late Moberley Bell, so long manager of the London Times. It was a plain, stout stick, mounted with a bone from his own body. When a correspondent in Alexandria he was crossing a railway line and caught the heel of his foot between the points. A train was approaching, and by a desperate effort he wrenched himself free. But he so injured his ankle that an operation was necessary, and one of the joint bones had to be removed. This he had mounted as the handle of the walking stick which he used to counteract the limp his accident left him.—London Tatier. LOOK TO THE FUTURE Never mind the past except to profit by its mistakes. The past is in many things the foe of mankind; the future is in all things our friend. For the past has no hope; the future is both hope and fratern. The past is the textbook of tyrants, the future the Bible of the free. Those who are solely governed by the past stand, like Let's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward and forever incapable of looking forward.—Marryat.
