Railroad Accommodations For Negroes BOOKER_T. WASHINGTON COMMUNICATES WITH RAILROADS Race Should be Interested in What Railroad People Say About Accommodations Afforded Negroes-Other Letters to Follow Next Month Some months ago I sent out marked copies to railway officials in every part of the South of an article written for the Century Magazine in which I referred to the unjust treatment of colored people on railroads. In addition a letter was written, calling attention to the portion of the article marked. It might interest those of our people who are seeking to improve the bad conditions that exist on many railroads, to read some of the replies from these officials to these communications. In one case, for example, the president of the railroad had a copy of the "Century" article placed in the hands of every officer on the road. I am asking that you publish the extracts from these letters, because a little later on it is my purpose to urge my people to set aside one day in the year that might be called "Railroad Day" upon which throughout the country wherever conditions demand it, we can go to the officials of the railroads and speak to them about the bad conditions that exist with a view of our co-operating with these railroad officials in order to bring about better conditions. I think the extracts from these letters indicate that the railroad officials are now in a state of mind where in most cases they are willing to recognize the justice of our claim for better things; in fact, some of them have already acted. When the proper time comes, we should take up with the officials concerned, the matter of accommodations provided in restaurants, sitting rooms, street cars, steam cars, steam boats, etc. For the present, I am giving you these extracts for publication in order to show that there is an opportunity, if we go about it in the right way, to do away with what has been a long standing source of complaint. Mr. C. J. Mills, Assistant to President William Sproule of the Southern Pacific, writes: "Am very much obliged by your letter of October 9th transmitting your printed article 'Is the Negro having a fair chance,' and note with interest your reference to transportation facilities afforded in the South. These matters are bound to receive attention and we hope the objections will be overcome in due course. Mr. William J. Black, Passenger Manager of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System, wrote as follows: "I am in receipt of your favor of the 8th inst., enclosing an article by yourself recently published in the 'Century' Magazine, which I have read with interest. You will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that the Santa Fe has already provided equipment for colored travel in conformity with the plan outlined in your article. At the present time 75 per cent of the coaches used in Oklahoma and Texas for colored people have two compartments, one being a smoking compartment and the other for men and women, and they have separate toilet facilities for each sex. As new cars are purchased, or present ones are converted, they will be of that type, and we expect before long to have all of our cars for colored traffic on the same plan." COMPLAINTS WELL-FOUNDED Mr. J. M. Parker, Receiver and General Manager, The Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf Railway Company, says: "I have Continued on page four. --- VOLUME XXIX Editor: The COM- FOR WESTON WITH ed in the Say us Af- r Leth- th not out officials of an century arrested to colored addition going at- the ar- t of our to im- that ex- to read these nations. side, the had a article every publish letters, is my to set our that Day" the coun- demand signals of to them that ex- operat- officials better $40,000 Bank Bu PETE SUGDEN ARCHITECT Savannah, GA comes, the offi- tter of in res- street bouts, in giv- publi- $40,000 Bank Building of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company New Pharmacist at Savannah Pharmacy Dr. J.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914 City Base Ball League Organized URBAN LEAGUE PLANS CHAMPIONSHIP FOR BOYS OF CITY Four Schools Will Probably Take Part—Plan to Have Games on Both Sides of City Every Saturday—Will Begin About April 4th A regularly organized City Base ball League, fashioned after the usual professional organization and embracing a regular commission, a rotating staff of umpires, a regular schedule of championship games and a pennant series, is theplan of the committee on Boy's Clubs of the Local Urban League. In fact plans are already under way for carrying out the details of this League: Committees looking to the co-operation of the schools, committees on schedule, grounds and umpires have already been appointed and are at work. The Urban League is planning to uniform all teams. It is the present plan of the committee in charge of arrangements to have games at least once a week, every Saturday afternoon, and the regular schedule will probably begin the first Saturday in April, continuing until the last week of school. The exact location of the playing grounds has not as yet been decided upon, but it is probable that grounds on both the east and west side will be procured so as to have at least two games every Saturday, two of the four teams that will be organized among the larger schools playing each Saturday. Already the boys who have learned that an effort is being Carnegie Library Ready July 1st WORK ON FOUNDATION OF BUILDING FINISED LAST WEEK Will be One Best Appointed Negro Library Buildings in the Country-Much Interest Being Manifested in Erection Of Building About July first the Negroes of this city will be in possession of one of the best appointed public libraries in the country, the Carnegie Library, for the erection of which Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave $12,000.00. For the maintenance of the library the city will appropriate $12,000.00 a year. The foundation of the library was completed last week and the framing for the basement windows was being placed in yesterday. Much interest is being manifested in the erection of the library and the building when completed will fill a much needed place in the community. Marriage Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The site upon which the new bank building will be erected, was purchased about a year ago and is but one block south of the Union Station. The bank owns the entire half block extending north from Alice street and the new building will be on the corner occupying a frontage on West Broad street of about 54 feet and will extend back on Alice street about 65 feet. The Pharrow Construction Company, which has the charge of the erection of the building, is the best known Negro construction company of the state and one of the most widely known in the south. It will be recalled that among the prominent buildings erected by this company are the $35,000.00 St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad streets, the $100,000.00 Odd Fellow building and the $75,000.00 Odd Fellow Auditorum, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. R. E. Pharrow is head of the company. The work of tearing down the old building at Alice and West Broad streets will probably be completed by today and the work of excavation will most likely begin Monday. The erection of the new building will be carried on with all possible dispatch, as The Wege Earners are anxious to occupy their new quarters at the earliest possible time. The new building will be three stories high on a basement and will be constructed of buff brick. The major portion of the first floor will be occupied by the bank and its quarters will be very luxuriously equipped. There will be aside from the ordinary banking apartments a cosy room for the accommodation of the female patrons of the institution. A large store will occupy the remaining portion of this floor. The second and third floors will contain offices, there being about thirty-five in all. In the basement will be the finest Negro barbershop in the city. It will be elegantly appointed and will have all the latest appliances used in tonsorial parlors. The heating plant and several large storage rooms will occupy the remaining space of the basement. There will be a slight change in the building from the original plan. Instead of having the entrance to the upper-floors on Alice street, the main entrance will be on West Broad. The entire front of the first floor will be of white Georgia marble. The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company is the pioneer Negro banking institution of the state and the second largest institution of the kind among Negroes in the country. The company was organized in 1900 and first began business with assets of $102.00. The annual statement issued by the institution, October of last year, shows the combined assets to be $221,414.22. The bank has over five thousand depositors, a few whom are white, and has erected hundreds of houses in and around the city. Mr. L. E. Williams is president of the bank. WATER ALWAYS NECESSARY. § Daring the winter season of the year many farm animals do not receive as much water as they realty need to give the best results, says the Kansas Farm- er. his is especially true of hogs. in cold weather, when all water jeft in troughs or other receptactes Is likely to freeze, the animals go not have the op- portunity to‘drink as much as they ‘otherwise would. Erofessor Deitrich, formerly of the Illinois Agricultural college. found in conducting a series of experiments in feeding swine -that a sufficient amount of wa- ter is a very Important consider- ation in securing the largest re- tutne from the feed consumed by hogs. He found that often- ' times in securing the best re- sults in the feeding of hogs it was necessary to encourage the consummation of the proper amount of water by supplying some of the food in liquid form. Those who are feeding hogs through the winter season should bear In mind that the supplying of a source of pure, clean water at the proper temperature is of the greatest importance. Per- haps in many cases it will be desirable to supply a part of the water in the form of warm slop feeds. A feed cooker for the cooking of feeds has little eco- nomic importance, but such a device may be very useful in supplying warm liquid feeds during the cold season of the year. . THE BAIRY HOUSE. Separate Building For Handling Milk fs Necessary. In every case where a considerable Portion of the farm income is derived from the sale of dalry products a build- ing should be provided to be devoted! exclusively to thelr care. ‘The essential features which should be retained in any plan are a room Jost large enough for the actual needs; a floor, wall and celling which can be easily, quickly and thoroughly clenned; a good drain to carry away waste wa- ter; a suitable method for heating the house in cold weather; plenty of light and ventilation; convenient arrange- ments for washing, scalding and dry- ing dairy uténsils, and a good tank and water supply for cooling the milk or cream. This building or dairy house should be convenient to but entirely separate from the barn where the milking ta done.

Controversies about wages frequent- ly arise between farmers and thelr hired oien when the latter are dis- charged or quit work before the expi- ration of the time for which they were employed. Sometimes a man who is hired to do certain specified work or work fur a certain period of time for fixed wages quits his job without food and sutficient reasons, and the -question then arises what compensa- tion, if any, he can recorer by law from bis employer for the work he has actually done. There fs some con- tet of authority In the decisions of the courts upon this subject, but the weight of authority is to the effect that In such case the hired man can recover the value of the services which he actually rendered, deducting from this amount any damages which his employer has sistained by reason of his failure to complete the serv- ices which be was hired to perform. Sickness or death of an employee 13 considered by the law to be the act of God and constitutes good excuse for delay or even for nonperformance of a contract for personal services. AD | employee who is prevented by sickness from completing services according to his contract can recover the actual value of the services which he has performed under the contract, and if the completion of his work Is pre- vented by his death his executor or administrator can recover the value of the services actually performed py him.

SASH BOWS ON COATS. They Are Used to Embellish Sep- arate Wraps as Well as Gowns. al ee | ( | | || We i Y ae WORSTED COAT. On wraps as well as gowns butterfly bows are an attractive and up to date decoration. Theater wraps, separate coats, ete., are all thus decorated. The charming spring outfit illustrated here ‘includes a coquettish little cout of one of the new worsted mixtures, with col- Jar and cuffs Mnished with figured silk in shades of rose, green and terra cot- ta. A smart feature of the coat is the big butterfly bow across the back. Like most ultra coats of the season the skirt of the coat flares considerably below. The coat fs worn over a simple little gown of silk poplin. The wide brim- med hat is adorned with velvet ribbon and a cluster of poppies. Many of the new hand bags are in the shape of enlarged and flattened pears, with a tassel Langing from the Jower point and a narrow silver mount at the top suspended on a short rib- bon, just long enough to sling over the wrist. But newer still are the pockets which are being worn on the hips of the tallor mades. They may be visible or not, as one wishes, and the front and side draperies which are now in the fashion allow of them being used for practical purposes without in any way upsetting the set of the skirt. ‘The Charity Bazaar. A pin stall is a good idea for a bazaar.

To Make Shaving Easier. | ‘To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash of the lather.

There is long list of tree pests, enemies of fruit yields and actual destroyers of the trees, that should be vigorously fought in winter, says a writer in Farm Progress. So far the only method discovered for combating them is by winter spraying. Late winter is the time for "annual housecleaning" in the orchards. The list of enemies that can be checked or entirely wiped out by winter or dormant spraying is rather long and includes the San Jose scale, anthracnose, aphis, woolly aphis, codling moth, brown mite, red spider and powdery mildew. When you spray, spray thoroughly. Winter spraying is no exception to the rule, and the spray material should be put on with force enough to reach all the lurking enemies. Thorough spraying brings up the question of proper equipment. All the bark must be wetted. At least 100 pounds of pressure is necessary, and in some cases I have found 150 to 200 pounds of pressure giving the best results. It must be driven into the bark cracks and crevices. The man who is just beginning to take up the question of winter spray- ```markdown ``` SPRAYING TREES FROM THE ROADWAY. ing ought to be able to distinguish the different kinds of enemies found on the trees in winter. He ought to buy a good pocket lens, costing about 75 cents, and carefully study all the paralites, scabs and fungi he can find. in battling with mildew, mites, spiders and moths all infected trees should be pruned and the dead and decaying parts removed. All wounds should be cleaned out and the faking, scaling bark ought to be scraped away from the trunks. Let this work precede the spraying with lime-sulphur. All rubbish should be burned at once. This will expose all the hibernating pests so the spray will reach them easily. Every part of the tree ought to be bathed in the film of spray even to the tiniest twig. The best time for applying sprays to the pests mentioned is a short time before the buds show signs of swelling. Bordeaux 6-4-50 is the spray used most in late winter spraying, when the lime-sulphur is deemed inadequate. It is very effective in dealing with anthracnose and incipient cases of peach leaf curl. To be really effective the spray should be put on at a dry time, as a fall of rain will wash off much of the spraying material and lessen its effectiveness. The one pest that ought to be fought hardest by the winter sprayer is the San Jose scale. Look for the round, grayish and black, button shaped bodies with a pimple-like elevation in the center. This elevation is about the size of a pin head and is often surrounded by a red ring. Lime-sulphur solution properly applied will kill the San Jose scale at any date between the falling of the leaves and the leaing out in spring. There are three rules that I think every man should apply in going about spraying, whether he is doing the work in winter or in summer. They are: When you spray, be sure you are doing it at the right time. If you don't know the reason why you are spraying, don't spray at all. The only way to know the reasons for spraying is to study up on every insect or fungus that is causing you trouble now or may trouble you in the near future. Men no longer argue about the value of spraying. That has been settled for all time. The scabless, sound and smooth skinned fruit of the sprayed orchard has settled that question. All that remains for us to know is the when and the how. Barnyard Manus. Barnyard manure is indispensable as a fertilizer on thin and sandy land that is to be farmed. It supplies humus as well as nitrogen, and the effect of the humus is often more desirable than the increase of plant food, though both are surely needed if the land be thin. HAPPY TH Make for young pleasant thoughts. N know, for none of us taught in early youth, aces we may build thoughts, proof against bright fancies, satisfied noble histories, faithful sayings, ure houses of precious and reu thoughts.—Rusakin "Now that your boys have gone away to school and your daughters have gone 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 Hand to Mouth. "Are you getting accustomed to New York?" asked the talkative grocer. "By degrees," said the woman. "I think I like it a little better than I did at first. "But how did you know that we had just moved to town? I never told you." "No, you never told me, but the way you bought groceries did. You bought in such large quantities. This showed that you had just come from some place where people had plenty of storeroom and so bought groceries by the box and barrel instead of by the pound. But I see you are getting used to keeping house on two kitchen shelves and are buying in dribbles, like all New Yorkers."—New York Times. Got His Reward. Years ago a tradesman whose name is now a household word was employed in a modest capacity in a west end shop in London. While exhibiting some delicate ware to the very first customer he served he let it fall and break. The customer, a doctor, good naturedly took the blame and paid for the broken article. Years later the salesman, now a wealthy man, called on the doctor, reminded him of the incident and settled on him $5,000 a year for life.—London Express. The Wickedest Bit of Sea Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St Jean de Luz up to Paullac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. Off and On. "Save when you're young." The speaker, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was addressing a Y. M. C. A. meeting in Cleveland. "Save when you're young," repeated Mr. Rockefeller, with a smile. "The years will pass swiftly. Then when you find yourself well on you'll also find yourself well off." St. Peter's In Rome St. Peter's is certainly the most amazing church in the world. It is not beautiful—I am satisfied that no true artist would grant that—but after you have been all over Europe and have seen the various edifices of importance it still sticks in your mind as astounding—perhaps the most astounding of all.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty." Giving Happiness To make some nook of God's creation a little fruitfuler, better, more worthy of God, to make some human hearts a little wiser, manfuller, happier, more blessed, less accursed—it is a work for a God—Carlyle. Witty Savings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said to a late comer: "Please, sir, take your seat as quietly as possible. The audience is asleep." A Philadelphia woman said: "Of course, there will be no marriage in heaven. There will be plenty of women there and a few men, but none any one would care to marry." DO IT WELL What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Not giving your whole, undivided attention to the task in which you have invested your life and money means that you are wasting your own precious time and that of others. Whatever you do, do it with your whole heart and mind or get out and try something else. It takes pretty nearly all of a man's time to perfect an undertaking, provided it be a big and worthy one to begin with. 100 MISS DELANO AND HER MIRDAL. The Red Cross society, whose work for humanity has been so great, has enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It has established a town and country nursing service through whose instrumentality the dwellers in even isolated communities may be assured of proper care in times of illness. The object of this is to encourage the employment of visiting nurses in remote districts where it is difficult to obtain the services of a physician. It was through Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the national committee on nursing service, that this new department of the work was established. Because of the splendid efficiency to which she has brought the nursing work of the Red Cross the gold medal of merithes been awarded to Miss Delano by the president. In presenting her with the medal President Wilson said: "It is due to Miss Delano's devoted and efficient labors that a splendid corps of over 4,000 of the best trained nurses in the country have been enrolled in the Red Cross for active service in time of war or disaster. Not only has this large corps been enrolled, but by means of 110 local committees a system has been established that enables the Red Cross to mobilize within a few hours' time anywhere in the country the number of nurses required for active service." Miss Delano is one of the most distinguished members of the nursing profession in America. She had established a high reputation before she joined the Red Cross. She is a graduate of the Bellevue Training School For Nurses. Her first case is said to have been that of the late Abram S. Hewitt, then mayor of New York. She distinguished herself by her work in the yellow fever epidemic in Florida. She has held important positions in the west, in Philadelphia and in Buffalo. She was superintendent of the New York municipal training school for women nurses and later of Bellevue hospital, where she instituted many needed reforms. CONVENIENT BAGS. New Models Are Compact and Fitted With Useful Accessories. Manufacturers of fine leather goods are offering exquisite novelties in traveling bags and cases, which are much smaller in size than the heavy, old fashioned types of bags. The responsibility for the change lies with the modern taste for motoring. The woman of 1914 covers such distances and her belongings must be so moderate in size and so easily packed that designers have been at work turning out the most elegant as well as the most convenient form of toilet apparatus. The party bag is a mere trifle to handle and looks almost like a handkerchief in black moire drawn in with a ribbon. It may be concealed in a coat pocket, or there would be space for it in a little hand bag. Within its folds are all the items that go to give a woman the finishing touches for the toilet. Just a little frame keeps all the gold, silver gilt or enameled trifles together, and the contents are all that is required. The prevailing taste leans to easily folded or drawn bags, and some novelties consist of round models of the finest leather, so soft as to crush into very small space. Inside is a frame, and into this are fitted the little implements of the toilet. A tiny hairbrush is set into gold, gilt, enamel or inlaid ivory or tortoise shell. The comb is decorative, and there are small pots for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bottles for perfume, a miniature toothbrush, diminutive manicure implements and a long thin roll of metal matching the setting of the case that turns out to be a receptacle for needles, cotton and other trifles to mend a rent. The center of some of these collapsible bags is fitted with a waterproof compartment for a sponge. Color enters into many of these fanciful cases, a green leather bag or case containing red or rose colored fittings, while a yellow bag will have every item in blue enamel or in silver gilt. Many and varied are these dainty trifles and devices featuring a season of unusual luxury and elegance. 11'Y TO BE CHEERFUL Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be deve op-d and increased and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty to himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts unless a cheerful spirit animates them should be sufficient reason for setting motion every cause which produces such a spirit. Tiny Goust The republic of Goust is a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 weavers. They are ruled by a council of olders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civic unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being slid downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate"—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it reelected its host to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle. Restaurant Affiliation The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men.who had just entered., "Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of coffee," ordered the first man. "A piece of cocoanut pie and a cup of cocoa," said the fourth. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."—Judge. Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat. Sir Sidney Colvin. In a lecture on "Personal Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. "R. L. S.," said Sir Sidney, "did once possess a frock coat and tall hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Samson Agonistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions. A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to stu the laws of evidence. The majorit persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is rep haunted it is easier to see a g there than not. Possibly this account for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories, and they usually dwindle on investigation, yet they continue to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, translated for the Literary Digest. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us.—Kansas City Star. L FRAMES Training diplomas, marriage All sizes Work neatly and Action guaranteed. Prices comes a specialty.

To say that the Negroes of the city are very thankful to Miss Helen Pendleton and the Asso- eisted Charities for the aSsist- ance which they rendered the Negro poor during the severe cold weather which recently vis- ited the city, is but mildly ex- pressing their appreciation of their “many acts of kindness. Our white friends in the city have ever been most charitable to the poor among usin time of need and it requires but an op- portunity wherein assistance is needed for them to show in a most willing manner that they are‘our friends. We understand that there was one, perhaps sev- eral, white gentleman who aside from giving his usual uncondi- tional financial assistance to the Associated Charities whenever great suffering visits the commu- nity requested on the occasion of the last severe weather that a cer- tain amount which he gave be used for the alleviation of suffer- ing among our people. ‘his _is but one of the many recent in- stances in which the charituble acts of our friends haye been held out in bold relief. We ap- preciate the kindly interest taken in us-by such gentlemen as the one in question and are very thankful to Miss Pendleton of the Associated Charities tor adminis- tering not only to the needs of the poor whites of the city but to the needy Negroes of the city as well. The reappointment by Presi- dent Wilson of Judge Robert H. Terrell as judge of one of the municipal courts of the District- of Columbia, comes as a rather sudden but pleasant surprise to allof us. That the reappoint- ment of the judge is a recogui- tion of fitness, per se, is indeed beyond cayil. No maudlin senti- ment on the part of the chief executive could have prompted it. Aad in the face of such rug- ged and resolute declarations against, Negroes and their ‘ap- pointment to office as those which emanate from Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Edwards and the like, the appointment of one of us to federal office carries with it much significance indeed- Wedo not know, but, perhaps, it may not be altogether out of place to say. that the appointment of Judge Terrell presages the beginning of some sort of recognition on the part of the administration of a people who constitute one-tenth of the country’s population. For some time it has been our convic- tion that the safe and sane ele- ment of the Democratic party,and its ranks are not few, is inclined to give the Negro some sort of opportunity at the hands of the government. Unlixe the fire- branders whose loye for notori- ety and newspaper space makes the foremost advocates of the political and social obliteration of the Negro, this element of safencss and soundness among the democrats plies it wares quietly seeking here and there to give honor to whom honor is due. Perhaps President Wilson, in his reappointment of Judge Terrell to office, i$ giving to the country bis real interpretation of his now freedom, which, em- bodied in his inaugural address, opens, as it were, the door of op- portunity and freedom to the rich and poor alike and makes of the American people a broth- erhood whose interests and striv- ings are commutatively linked. If future recognition, on the part of the administration, of Negroes to hold office, is based on the con- duct while in office of Municipal Judga Terrell, we have no doubt that the race will come in for its full share of federal patronage. for, with the business and judi- ‘ciul neumen which rightly be- longs to the judge as well as his consciousness of the strategic position which he occupies, we havea confidence that the record of him during his new term of office will be better than that of the past.

Jenin Lloyd Jones Speaks on Lincoln u Chicago, Feb, 15.—The Rev. Jenkin Lioyd Junes, according to | his annual custom, celebrated yes- terday morning the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, giving a study of the continuance of Abraham Lincoln’s Mission in history after his death, “The emancipation proclama- tion,” said the pastor, “only freed the slaves of disloyal owners and it went no further than the condi- tions of war would permit. The states remaining loyal. or, the re- admitted treasonable states, could still claim slaves by sanction of the Nutional and Stat~ Coustitutions. The ‘thirteenth, Fourteenth und Fifteenth Amendments, together with the Civil Rights Bill, were necessary before shackles were permanently broken from off the limbs of human beings in the United States. But unshackled limbs did not makefreemen. The dignity of the human soul implies a ficedom to act, to assume re- sponsibility, to discharge obliga- tions, and in a democratic state the right of suffrage. TRUMBELL’S PART | “All this plus to tie emancipa-| tion owed a lurge part of its initia- tave and still larger part of of pro- motional vigilauce to Lyman frumbell, Lincoln's colleague from Illinois, whose first entrance into the United States Senate was the result of Abraham Lincoln’s magnanimous withdrawal of his naie in the interest of his friend, and then Trumbull went to the Senate for the first time by a sin- gle vote. “Any effort to put en- ity between you and meisas idle as the wind,’ wrote Lawyer Lin- jcoln to ‘Trumbull, his colleague on the circuit, ‘i “Its well perhaps that January 1, 1863, the date on which the |proclumation went into effect, sbould become in the popular, mind the pivotal point around’ which the love and gratitude, the' the enthusiasm and the devotion of the friends of liberty should gather.

But this was but a prelude to the fifty years to follow, not yet finished, in which the weapons are ideas and the battlegrounds, court of justice, and whenever man meets mau—black, white, yellow or red —contending for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness in proportion to their merits. “‘Itis quite the fashion, even among the decendants of those val-' iant leaders in the bloodless battle for justice to the enslaved, to de- plore the ‘amendments,’and to re-! gret the ‘Civil Kigbts Bill,’ and with patronizing concessions ad- mit that it was a ‘misteke to grant the right of suffrage to the black! man before he was prepared for it,’ ete. *| “Men who effect logic and claim intelligence point to the dark and troublesome days of reconstruc: | tion as evidence of this mistake. ‘I believe that the profounder statesmanship and clearer ethical vision will prove that tbe fathers were more nearly right than their, condescending and compromising sons. MILLITARY NECESSITY | “The logic of the situation de- manded ic as a military necessity. ‘The war for freedom was not fin- ished at Appomattox.

There is an educational ‘The ballot is menaced by mental ignorance, but more menaced by ethical torpidity, and in the long judgement of history freed men, reaching after freedom, were less amenace to law and order than frec men blinded with prejudices rising in armed rebellion ‘against the demueracy they professed.

On Monday night, Mark 16th, there will be a Country Wedding entertainment given at St. Philip for the purpose of raising money for the lights, admission 10 cents. The pastor and officers want to return thanks to the ladies and children that made the George Washington operetta a success. Sunday is club rally day, every captain must see his members and collect from them and report to his general the name of each member and amount paid. The Knockers Love Feast that was to have taken place on Wednesday night February 25th, was postponed on account of bad weather. On Thursday night, March 12th, St. Philip's Musical and Dramatic Club will give at St. Philip church a play that will be entertaining in every respect.

All of the ladies who assisted her worked hard for its success. Her host of friends rallied to her sup- port, and the next result was the neat sum of $225.00 raised. Mrs. Barnes is an indefatigable worker and never fails at anything that she undertakes. She is a loyal member of her church and is always working and planning for its success. She gave this bazaar for the purpose of raising money to put lights in the church. Under her management, an interesting country wedding will be given at the church on Monday night, March 16th.

Augustine Reid, Pastor Our week of special service and thanksgiving services of blessings bestowed, was rich and indeed a feast of good things. The sermons delivered by the invited pastors, who came, were in harmony with the spirit of the occasion. Each had a message from God to the church and the same was delivered in the spirit of Him who gave it. The same spirit was seen and felt in the selection of praise by the various choirs who accompanied their pastor and sang sweetly and effectually. Special mention must be made of Miss Marshall, the organist of Beth Eden church, who handled the large pipe organ so masterly notwithstanding it was the first time she has touched it and the second time she ever performed on a pipe organ. These services, of a truth, were very inspiring and helpful to the pastor and people, who were encouraged to continue in keeping God in front. On Sunday the retiring pastor will administer his last communion service to the church at 3:30 p. m., and on Wednesday evening 11th inst, at 8:15 o'clock the mortgage burning will take place.

How true this is from an insurance standpoint. Just think of the good we have already won just because a good many of us feared not to join Negro insurances. Then think of the good that yet could be won if a good many more of us would "fear not" and do the same thing. Now think of the good we have already lost by doubting our own business worth and ability, thereby assisting the other insurance men winning the very good we might have won but lost, by fearing to attempt.

"Improper conditions of the nose and throat are not only dangerous to health, but stunt the physical and mental development of the child," says a well known physician. "Colds in the head, catarrh, adenoids and enlarged tonsils are the most frequent of these improper conditions found in little children. "Adenoids are small masses of soft tissue normally found in every child's nasal passages between the back of the nose and the throat, which through catarrh or other causes may become enlarged and block up the air passages, interfering with breathing through the nose and forcing the child to breathe through the mouth, preventing proper inflation of the lungs and stunting the development of the chest. They keep up a constant catarrhal condition near the ventilating tube leading from the throat to the ear and in this way impair the hearing of the child. "Another common throat disease is enlarged tonsils. The tonsils are small, almond shaped bodies situated on each side of the throat. They have a certain purpose, and I do not believe in the indiscriminate removal of all enlarged tonsils. In fact, I condemn what I unhesitatingly call the 'massacre of the tonsils' so often chosen as the treatment of enlarged tonsils. The cause is in many cases not in the tonsils, but in the general condition of the patient. Proper medicine and hygienic treatment will cure many cases without an operation. Only when the tonsils are enlarged, hard and fibrous, seriously interfering with speech and swallowing, should they be removed. "Prevention is better than a cure. If a child catches a cold, do not let the cold 'wear itself away.' Treat it at once or it may lay the foundation for adenoids and enlarged tonsils." Cover For Baby's Feet. Children who are too small to walk out of doors nearly always suffer from cold feet, but this will never happen if mothers will wrap the plump little limbs of their youngest in a bag cover, which may be made as follows: The size of the cover must vary according to the shape of mall or push cart which baby uses. Take careful measurements and then cut an oblong piece of cloth, making it twice the length you require the bag. For lining you will need a piece of satin or sateen cut two inches smaller each way than the cloth and wadded with a thickness of cotton wool. This must be stitched firmly to the cloth. Then double the whole thing and sew up the sides so as to form a bag. Cut a piece of cloth two and a half inches larger all the way round than one side of the bag, scallop it with silk to match the cloth and lay it on the front of the bag, stitching it firmly. If you like you can also work baby's initials in the corner, surrounded by some simple floral decoration. Last of all add a small brass ring to each upper corner, sewing it on very firmly. When baby's legs are snug between the layers of cotton wool and the rings are slipped over two books screwed at the back of the cart you will have good cause to feel satisfied with your handiwork. --- A Nerve Soother. Fractiousness and restlessness on the baby's part are frequent results of cutting back teeth, and often the child is given to starting and screaming during the night. Try the following plan before putting the little one to bed: Get a bath ready with the water deep enough to reach to the child's waist when slitting down. Fasten a shawl or small blanket around the neck to keep the top of the body warm. Neither shawl nor hands should be wet. Keep the baby in the water five minutes. A board may be fixed across the bath at one end to hold a few toys to amuse the child. The temperature of the water should be 104 degrees. The lower part of the little body will be quite red when taken out. Give it a good brisk rubbing and pop the child into a warm bed. It should sleep quietly and soundly till morning. Rainproof Hood. My children never carry umbrellas, writes a friend. Instead each one is provided with a rainproof hood, which when not needed is buttoned into an inside pocket of the overcoat. If rain comes on the hood is buttoned on to the buttons sewed under the collar of the coat. When the collar is turned up and the hood drawn over the head the little one is as cozy as possible and takes no harm from the rain. The hood can be quickly dried afterward. I find it a far better plan than providing umbrellas, which are always getting damaged. An Appeal to Pride Though smoking cigarettes is really harmful for boys, they smoke not because they are basically bad, but in imitation of their elders. It is the parents' duty to prove to the boy that smoking may prevent his becoming an athlete, and that it will affect his chest expansion and muscular development. See to it that he distinguishes the real from the cheap sport and desires to imitate the right kind of older fellow.

Agriculture Should Be Handled as the Merchant Handles a Store. By ANDREW BOSS, Chief of agronomy and farm management, Minnesota agricultural experiment station. Farm management, in its best interpretation, means the application of progressive, scientific and business principles to the business of farming. The farm manager holds the same relation to the farm and its business as does the business manager of the store or other business enterprise--that is, he is the one responsible for the success or failure of the enterprise from the financial point of view; therefore he must know every detail of crop growth, of cost of production, of marketing, of operating and of all business transactions performed in connection with the farm. Farming is a business, and the one who can grow the largest crops of the best quality and at the same time produce them at the lowest cost, sell them at the highest price and make the best investment of the money received should rank as the best manager. While farming has not commonly been regarded as a business, the fact remains that the successful financial operation of a farm presents even a more complex problem and involves at least as much business ability and tact as are required in operating a store. A farmer must have a knowledge of the elements of soil fertility, of the principles of the movement of soil water, of soil bacteria and their action, of ```markdown ``` SCENE ON A BADLY MANAGED FARM. plant growth, of varieties and species of plants, of the effect of one crop on the crop following and of the care of the seeds and forage. He must also understand animals and how to feed and care for them, and in addition he must know how to buy and sell to advantage, to make contracts, plan his buildings and farm so as to economize labor and distribute it to advantage. The farm manager who would successfully conduct his business may profit by the example of the merchant. The merchant takes an inventory of his stock, considers the demand for his goods, both present and prospective; notes the supply and cost of each article of commerce, the labor required to operate his business and any other items of expense that may be legitimate to the business, regulating his purchases and prices accordingly. The farm manager should likewise take an inventory of his capital stock and equipment. He should consider the fertility of the soil and the demands that will be made upon it by the crops grown, the sources from which fertility may be renewed and at what cost; he must study the markets and demands for the various crops and the possibility of handling them at a profit, the cost of producing each of the crops and the probable net profit that will be returned; the labor supply, the interest on investment and similar expenditures which must be made that affect the final result. Large farms may likewise be organized into departments and accounts kept with the cows, the pigs, the grain crops, the garden and similar enterprises. The business statement at the end of the year will then show which lines have been most profitable and will enable the manager to drop out those that are unprofitable. TIMELY POULTRY NOTES Cabbages, beets and mangels make ideal greens for hens during the winter. Small potatoes and speckled apples are also relished, particularly when the fowls are confined to their indoor quarters. To keep the hens healthy provide a dry floor, plenty of dry litter, plenty of dry air and no draft; keep the house clean, feed well, water regularly and provide a constant supply of artificial grit, oyster shells, cracked bone and charcoal. Hens should be dusted with insect powder occasionally, but the presence of a good dust bath will make these necessary occasions far fewer. Mix about one pound of powdered sulphur with each bushel of dust for the best results. - A. C.

He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet's lines. I know not where his islands lift I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whittier joined in the hand-clapping.

Other Scriptural names scattered about the country are Hebron, Joppa, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Gideon and Herod.—London Chronicle. TEMPTATION. Temptation is a fearful word. It indicates the beginning of a possible series of infinite evils. It is the ringing of an alarm bell whose melancholy sounds may reverberate through eternity. Like the sudden sharp cry of "Fire!" under our windows by night, it should rouse us to instantaneous action and brace every muscle to its highest tension. —Horace Mann. Milady's Mirror Going up and down stairs properly is one of the best physical exercises. It strengthens the heart, expands the lungs by inducing deep breathing, strengthens muscles of the back, shoulder and abdomen. It promotes elasticity of the foot and leg muscles and, above all, brings about poise of the body. The correct, healthful way to mount stairs is as follows: First—Place the ball of one foot on the step, raise the heel of the other foot, carrying it inward so that it is in line with the heel of the foot in front. Second.—At the same time raise the body by transferring the weight to the ball of the foot already on the stair. The relative positions of the different parts of the body are precisely the same as in walking on a level surface—head up, chest up and out, arms hanging free from the shoulder blades. To descend stairs the following are the correct positions: First.—Body erect, point the toe downward, heel turned inward. Second.—Touch the step, sinking gradually, lightly upon the ball of that foot, at the same time carrying the weight to it by raising the heel of the foot on the stair above, swinging the heel inward on the toe as a pivot, as in mounting stairs. Keep the heels in line all the time. Spreading the feet is not only awkward, but unrefined. Swaying also is awkward and unnecessary. Practice rising on the toes and sinking on the knees, slowing rising again. It will help make the ankle muscles flexible so that the little pivot movement can be done freely. A Valuable Cream. One of the most delightful creams to use on the face is the orange flower cream. It will soften and whiten the skin and is also good for massaging. It is not as greasy as most creams. It may be prepared as follows: Take spermaceti, six drams; oil of sweet almonds, four ounces; white wax, six drams; glycerin, one and one-half ounces; borax, two drams; orange flower water, two ounces; oil of olives, fifteen drops; the oil of neroli, fifteen drops; oil of bigarade (orange skin), fifteen drops. Warm the spermaceti, wax and almond oil in a double boiler until they become creamy; then add the glycerin to the orange flower water and let the borax dissolve in this. Pour this mixture into the first one, stirring constantly. Just before the cream congeals pour in the perfumed oils drop by drop. For Oily Skin. Oily skins are often caused by indulgence. If your skin is oily pay strict attention to your diet, eating only the simplest foods at regular hours and absolutely avoiding all greasy foods. A couple of times a day sponge the following witch hazel lotion on the face: Take four ounces of distilled witch hazel and one dram of boric acid and mix together. Do not use any cream on the face, but protect it as much as possible from all sudden changes of temperature and any undue irritation. Build up the general health, paying particular attention to the circulation. Once the blood is in perfect condition it will remedy the shriveled skin of which you complain. To Reduce Waist Line. To reduce the size of the waist and hips stand with the feet eighteen inches apart. Raise arms above head and bend body from waist only until the finger tips touch the floor. Raise the body and repeat. Practice this for five minutes and then put-the feet together and go through the same movements for another five minutes. At first you will not be able to touch the floor, but the necessary flexibility will come in time. Repeat the exercise frequently at first. Two Kinds of Powder If you are up to date in the use of face powder you should have two sorts of powder-one to use in the daytime and one to use in the evening. The evening powder, because of the fact that it will be shown under artificial light, is colored slightly mauve. This sort of powder must be expensive to be delicately and naturally colored and for a good quality. The daylight powder has a pinker tinge. To Clean the Face. Japanese tissue paper is convenient in cleansing the face. It may be used instead of a face cloth. It possesses the big advantage, that it can be thrown away after it is used and therefore appeals to the fastidious woman as cleaner than any cloth. These little sheets of tissue paper can be used to apply lottions, cold cream or water to the skin. It is thin, soft and at the same time firm. Hand Lotion. A formula for a hand lotion that has proved to be a delightful toilet article is as follows: Take thirty grains of gum tragacanth, soak in seven ounces of rosewater for three days, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. At the end of that time strain and add one ounce of glycerin and one of alcohol. Why is it so easy to secure new members for the Pilgrim?

If you want to sell a big bill of goods—watch the barometer. Such is the advice of Dr. Colin A. Scott, professor of psychology in the Boston normal school.

You'll find them active and up and doing with the barometer high; gloomy and irritable with the barometer low.—Boston Post.

If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would speedily perish of starvation." The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," sald she. "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently my duty, let others do as they may."—Farm and Freslele.

The Limit. Putting Them at Ease. --- SUN Lesson Both of us assigned for today are S. Incidents. In the first file a woman in the synagogue who had been allotted eighteen yeas in the second he heated a man who had the dropy in the house of one of the chief Pharisees. The rule of the synagogue was indignant because the woman had been heated on the Sabbath day, for the day was more to them than the Lord who gave them the day, and they had not learned that the one in their midst was the Lord even of the Sabbath day, greater than the temple, and that it was lawful to do well on the Sabbath day (Matt xx. 65-12). The late Dr. Weston of Crozier seminary says, in his notes on Matthew, that the immediate occasion of the determination by the Jewish rulers to put Christ to death was His relation to the Sabbath. Christ claimed that the Jewish nation were His people; that as Son of Man He was greater than their greatest king, greater than the temple, greater than the sacrifices, greater than the Sabbath; that all these were ordained for the sake of redemption, that God might through them show mercy; that His object was to give, not to receive, and that necessarily the Redeemer was greater than all the means of redemption. The Jewish Sabbath was the one peculiar and distinctive ordinance of the nation. It was the Jewish national flag. If the nation is to be deprived of its distinction from other nations, what is the use of being God's people? Pride, self righteousness, arrogance, had taken possession of them. Incarnate love was in their midst doing its mighty works, and they thought it was Satan. They did not know heaven from hell, sin from holiness, God from the devil. Their case was hopeless. The nation was doomed. Yet He was slow to cast them off. Ephraim was joined to idols. Israel would not frame her doings to turn unto her God, yet His cry was, "How shall I give thee up?" (Hos. iv, 17; v. 4; xl. 8.) As He said in the parable of the unfruitful fig tree, "Let it alone this year also till I shall dig about it and dung it, and if it bear fruit, well, and, if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down" (Luke xill, 6-9). He is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, not willing that any should perish, but the day of the Lord will come (11 Peter ill, 9, 10). He delights in mercy and loving kindness, and judgment is His strange work (Jer. ix, 23, 24; Hos. vl, 6; Isa. xxvill, 21). Sabbath signifies rest and a ceasing from our own works (Gen. ii, 1-3; Heb. iv, 3, 4, 10), but these hypocrites were full of their own works, their own days, their own feasts and their own ways and were so occupied with them and blinded by them that they could not see the light from heaven that was in their midst. The sicknesses which He healed were typical of the spiritual condition of the nation and of the condition of multitudes today. This woman in the synagogue was like many who are found in our churches. She was long years bowed down, bound by Satan and utterly unable to lift herself up. Every unsaved person is bound by Satan and unable to loosen or lift up himself, and neither the synagogue nor any mere human agency can do any good, for by the deeds of the law can no one be justified, for the law, although holy and just and good, cannot give life (Gal. ii, 16; lil. 10, 11, 21; Rom. vil, 12). By one word, one touch, from Him who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth the infirmity of eighteen years instantly disappeared, the bound one was loosed from the bond of Satan, the people rejoiced, and the adversaries of the Lord were ashamed. Thus it was with Saul of Tarsus when he saw the same Lord on the way to Damascus. Thus it will be with Israel as a nation when they shall see the same Jesus coming in His glory. Thus it has been with multitudes now in glory and multitudes still on earth, and thus it might be with every one still bound by Satan if they would let the Lord lay His hand upon them and speak peace to them, for the free gift of God is eternal life, and whosoever will may take it (Rom. vl. 23; Rev. xxll. 17). In our second portion He did not say, "Which of you shall see," but "Which of you shall have an ox or an as fallen into a pit." Surely He can save His own property at any time and in any place, but His pitiful cry is, "Ye will not come unto me; Israel would have none of me" (John v. 40; Ps. lxxxi. 11). The woman came to Him when He called her (xill. 12), and so, did the little child, but He is saying to many: "I have called, and ye refused. Ye have set at naught all my counsel and would none of my reproof" (Prov. i. 24, 25). These great foundation truths must never be forgotten: "God is love;" "The Lord is not willing that any should perish." He is still asking, "What more could have been done that I have not done?" (Isa. v. 4.) It is still true, "This man receiveth sinners." CHOOL. Quarter, For 1814. 'L SERIES. Luke xiii, 10-17; sss, 3-5—Gold- 27—Commentary 17.

Success In Assured if Proper Directions Are Followed. By H. D. HUGHES, office of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agricultural experiment station. Success does not always come with first attempts with alfalfa, but that should not be discouraging. The percent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the mere addition of 300 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover patch brought success. After inoculation the soil produced a fine growth of alfalfa. In other sections of the state, particularly in the south-central, the application of from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds of lime per acre brought success when various other trials without lime failed. Perhaps the most important thing in securing a stand of alfalfa is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased AN IOWA ALFALFA FIELD. the yield of alfalfa notably. On all soils below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield. In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest priced seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, it should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average soil covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is a good plan to set the drill so as to sow only about ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice—for example, crossing the field north and south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa best suited to Iowa conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the hardier varieties is very high priced and also uncertain as to purity the only variety which can well be recommended for general use is that known as the common American. This is grown almost altogether in such states as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown on nonirrigated land, under conditions so nearly as possible the same as are found in Iowa, is usually preferable. No hay should be removed the year that the alfalfa is seeded. Spring seeding may be clipped once or twice when necessary to keep down the weeds, but a good growth should cover the ground when freezing weather comes on in the fall. Usually the alfalfa should be cut when about one-tenth of the heads are in bloom, which generally is early in June, as this is about the time that the new shoots begin to appear at the bottom of the stalk. Much has been said regarding the difficulty of handling and curing the first cutting, but reports from those men in Iowa who have the largest acrenes state that alfalfa is not more difficult to cure than red clover. A number have said that it is easier to cure. Various methods of curing have been used successfully. In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut one afternoon may be raked the following day, put in bunches and much of it stacked the same day. It is important that as few of the leaves as possible be lost. In order to save the leaves many growers rake the alfalfa into windrows as soon as it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake as soon as dry enough to stack and haul it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cocking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large acreages. Where one has much alfalfa hay to cure a side delivery rake will be found to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked it is cut late in the afternoon or the morning, raked before dinner and put in cocks in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers assures one of little difficulty in curing even the first cutting and produces a hay of very excellent quality. The Care of Eggs The perishable nature of an egg is too little understood. Dampness, heat above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts, delay in marketing. are factors which very quickly destroy freshness and good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees. See that the grass is pulled away from the base of small trees. Better put wire protectors about them so they cannot injure them during a whirl. They Ars to Be Very Popular For Spring Wear. ```markdown ``` NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown here is a Poiret creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked serge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapis lazull, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines: Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here.

Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, quintly fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness.

Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD ```markdown ``` NO reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods. These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the advisability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard belongs in a scheme of mixed farming, together with poultry and hogs. Important facts for fruit growers are that orchard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of the soil maintained without extraordinary effort. While the trees are coming to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, for it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted, thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreisler's "A Traveler at Forty."

The church is said to have as many doors as days in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year.

A correspondent sends to the British Weekly a rare bit of English. It was written by a woman in excusing her tardiness in answering an inquiry that had been addressed to her: "I, would have written before, but I have been slick with a dog bite on the arm. The man that owns the sawmills' dog bit me in the road." The excuse was accepted as sufficient. Alabama's Iron Ores The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., in 1882, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good cooking coal and of the limestone requisite for fixing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.

SCOTT President and General Manager 504 WEST BROAD STREET phone 2540 Among the Masons When you are working in the interest of Masonry you are bettering the condition of society in the vicinity in which you live, Masonry sets an ideal moral standard and obligates its members to live up to it.. Some may fail, but the man who remembers his obligation and is a Mason at heart, never will. Yes, it pays to encourage Masonry, in more ways than one.—Globe. I have observed that Masons who have the highest regard for their obligations are the ones whom the Craft takes most delight in honoring. It seems that this regard is a recommendation that carries weight and conviction to their acts and words beyond the point of all other considerations, and endears them to a brother more than ties of mere association. To know a man as a true Mason is to have a sort of reverence for him that demands one's full confidence in his earnestness and integrity. —Masonic Home Journal. Dignity and assurance are necessary attributes in a Worshipful Master, to a certain degree, but a super-abundance becomes offensive and detrimental to the welfare of the lodge. NON-SECTARIAN Masonry is a non sectarian institution; among its votaries are those who profess and practice the tenets of different creeds, all of whom recognize that they are children of the same father, and equals in the institution and realize that, for the sake of peace and harmony, nothing of a religious nature should be brought into the body of the Craft. Despite the fact that this position of Masonry is well defined it is frequently misrepresented and its membership charged with being Godless, a statement as absurd as it is ridiculous. The Holy Bible is one of the great lights of Masonry; no lodge can be opened without its presence; each brother has the inherent right to expound it as he deems proper, but, he is not permitted to advocate his exposition of its teachings in the lodge nor is the Holy Bible ever expounded in a lodge. As a writer on this subject expresses it: "Were that permitted we would soon have discord in place of concord; soon peace and harmony would take unto themselves wings, and turmoil and strife would take their place with the result of breaking up our beloved institution." Masonry stands for all that is upright and true; to delve in the quarries for the good and welfare of all mankind is its glorious mission; to accomplish these purposes it is non-sectarian. "Masonry has no controversy with any church," says the Missouri Freemason. "Non-sectarian, it is broad and liberal. No obligation is required of its members that interferes with any duty they owe to God, their family or themselves, but all these duties which they owe to their Makers, to their family, and to their God, must be discharged, fully and completely. But this means, and this means only are the standards of civilization advanced and humanity made better." Because of its non-sectarianism its principles of friendship, morality and brotherly love cement together people of every nation and everyclime.—Square and Compasses. Friendship! No stronger word has come into our English language from our Teuton ancestry than this. It has a ruggedness that savors of the days when social veneer and mere form were unknown; when men were drawn to one another solely by qualities of heart and mind. The thought of worldly attainment or riches has nothing to do with Friendship. We meet a man, and if there are in him qualities which we admire we are unconsciously drawn to him; if he finds in us similar qualities there is a response which results in ties, the strongest earth can know, this is Friendship. The friendship which should prevail among Masons is that which seeks to find, in every brother, qualities which are amiable and admirable; the friendship which will whisper words of council in the ear of a brother; the friendship which holds out a hand to assist us over life's rough and rugged places; the friendship which gives without thought of return; the friendship which soothes the fevered brow and smooths the path which leads down the vale and across the silent stream; this is the friendship which, as Masons, we should cultivate, even in the strenuous days of the present century.—G. M., North Dakota. Memorial service was held the fourth Sunday in February in honor of Rev. J. C. Harper, who was a member of Encltd Lodge No. 169 Folkston, who died January-8, 1814. The services were were held at Mt. Carmel Baptist church. Bro. T. L, James, W. M. of the lodge was master of ceremonies Interesting addresses were made by Past Masrer J. H. Knight, Revs. G. J. Gatlin and G. H. G. Dukes. The addresses made a lasting impression on the large crowd that was present. The ladies of the Eastern Star prepared refreshments. The collection of the church that day amounted to $22.00, a white friend gave $2.00. The crowd was the largest since the meeting of the association. Bro. L. O. Neal, of Mt. Olive Lodge No. 228, Everett City, died February 26. F. B. B. Church On Sunday morning, Rev. Wright, accompanied by some friends went out to Nicolsonboro where he conducted the services at the Nicolsonboro Baptist church of which he is pastor. They returned to the city in the afternoon. At night he read for the lesson Ps. 130. Progress Company No. 3, Knights of Damon, and their Ladies' Auxiliary and the Head Light Social club were the guests of the church at night. Very interesting histories of both societies were read by their secretaries. Rev. Wright welcomed them heartily. His text was from St. Luke 12:2. The subject was "The Rich Worldling." The sermon was very pointed and many good lessons were given. Abyssinnin Baptist Church Rev. E. L. Barbor was very much pleased with his congregation on last Sunday. He preached at 11:30 o'clock from John 4:2-4, subject, "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth," At the communion service the subject was "A glorious promise," At eight o'clock the pastor preached from the snbject "The kingdom of God is at hand." The missionary club gave the church a lovely communion set. Mrs. E. Chance donated $5.00 to the club. Beth Eden Baptist Church Our gallery would have been crowded Sunday had it not been for the awful cold weather, but the lookout committee promises a surprise for to-morrow. The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, gave us two very able sermons. The morning subject was, "A Little Consideration," that at night, "Their Nickname." Special preparation is being made for our revival services which begin on March 22nd, there will be special music led by a chorus of 40 voices, and we are to have with us one of the best evangelists that can be had. The winner of the "Tag" contest was brother LeGare, who was presented the $5.00 gold piece, as promised. He sold 65 tags. Services to morrow as follows: prayer service 6:30 a. m.; preaching 11 a. m., subject "The Prisoners' Deliverance"; Sunday School 3:15 p. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m.; 8 p. m., subject, "A Large Place of Business for God." We invite you to all of these services, and promise you a comfortable church, excellent sermons, and the best of music.

Such evidences as these of the continual growth along business lines of colored people cannot but be gratifying to the entire race. The building will be erected by Mr. R. E. Pharrow, the well known contractor of Atlanta. Mr. Pharrow has made a great reputation as a contractor, and the company is to be congratulated that the erection of its building is to be in such competent hands.—Georgia Baptist. For the Children Merry Song of the Snowflakes. Photo by American Press Association. A LITTLE SNOW GIRL. We hurry forth From the ice north. A swift and silent band, And rile the blast, In numbers vast When the storm king gives command. We flutter down From the mountain's crown And haste o'er the frozen plains, And we dance and leap To the winds that sweep Through the city streets and lanes. We bring fresh joys To the girls and boys Who laugh at the winter's chill, And we make a bed For the flying sled As we pile on the coasting hill. Point For Boy Scouts. When visiting my former regiment the other day, says Baden-Powell, I found that several novel ideas were in force in the physical training of the young soldiers. One was that of teaching them to walk along a plank set up on edge at a height of about five feet above the ground. To walk along this for about fifteen feet was the test of balance, and after a little practice there was not one who could not do it, although at first trial it looked hopeless. It might be thought to be rather a waste of time to instruct soldiers in walking the tight rope, but most curious results have been obtained from it. Not only does a lad become more well balanced, confident and plucky, but it has been found that he also develops very rapidly into a good shot. One old soldier, who was a particularly bad shot, was sent through a course of tight rope walking, and he soon gained thereby the power of controlling his nerves. Making Sieighbells. The sleighbells we see are round with an iron "jingle" in them. Now, you know that this little jingle could not have been put through the holes of the bell, so perhaps you would like to know how the bell is made. It is made by a man called an iron founder. First he puts the jingle inside a little ball of mud, which is just the shape and size of the metal ball. Then he makes a mold the shape of the outside of the ball. The ball of mud with the jingle in it is put inside the mold; then hot metal is poured in and fills the space between the ball and the mold. But when the mold is taken off the bell will not ring. As soon as the dirt inside the mold is shaken out the jingle is still in the bell and it will ring now. It took many years to think how to make a sleighbell. Cerberus. In Greek fable Cerberus is the three headed dog that watches outside the entrance to hades. Some writers assert that he has fifty heads, but generally he is said to have three, and three snakes are twined about his neck. His cave is on the farther side of the dark river Styx, where Charon, the ferryman of the dead, lands the shades. Cerberus is supposed to welcome all entering hades, but to seize all those seeking to escape.
