Railroad Accommodations For Negroes
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON COMMUNICATES WITH RAILROADS
Race Should be Interested in What Railroad People Say About Accommodations Afforded Nexroes- Letters Very Interesting
Editor:
I sent you last week copies of a number of letters which I had received from the officials of some of the leading railways of the country in regard to the conditions under which colored people are required to travel in the South. If the readers of your paper have been interested in reading the letters already printed they will, perhaps, care to see this second installment of the correspondence which, I believe, with what has already been printed, covers all the railways doing business in the Southern states:
SOME CAUSE FOR CRITICISM
Mr. C. V. Johnson, President of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, replies as follows: "I have read your article and I apprehend that there is some cause for criticism as outlined by you. Whether or not this applies to the Norfolk and Western Railway I am as this moment unable to advise definitely. Permit me to suggest that in presenting matters of this character to the public that it might be well to be more specific and not include all the railroads that perhaps have reasonably well provided the same conditions for the colored people as they have for the white people. I know that in some instances the railroads have endeavored to do this and I further know that generally speaking it is the purpose of the executive officers of the railroads which operate in the States in which the separation of the races is made necessary in traveling, to do this, and great pains have been taken and a very considerable amount of money expended to bring about a condition that complies with the law, and all should not be condemned for the failure of some. I may write you further regarding this matter at a later date."
Mr. W. J. Craig, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail Road Company says: "It is the desire of the Atlantic Coast Line to treat all of its patrons with fairness and to provide accommodations in accordance with the patronage received and not discriminate between them. As a Southern man I have only the best interest of your race at heart and have noted with a great deal of interest the wonderful progress and development that they are making. I invite your criticism from time to time of our service with a view of correcting any conditions that it may be possible for us to do so."
DISTRIBUTED 100 COPIES
Mr. George W. Stevens. President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, says; "I have read with interest your pamphlet entitled Is the Negro having a Fair Chance? One hundred copies of this article have been received and distributed among the officials and in the employees' reading rooms. As you are well aware, both in Virginia and Kentucky, the railway lines furnish the same accommodations for colored passengers as are furnished white passengers and it is a requirement that these accommodations shall be equal in every way to those furnished the white race. If it comes to your knowledge that equal service is not being given, I shall be glad to hear from you personally. In the other three States through which this company operates, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, segregation laws do not exist, and the Negro is accommodated in the same cars as the white race. As to employment by the railway companies the Negro is accorded the same treatment as the white man, and in some particular classes of employment is preferred to the white
Wriglit Visited the Baptist Union and Given Tongue Lashing
On Monday last Prof. R. R. Wright of the State College visited the Baptist Minister's Union. On account of his action on Emancipation day, many of the ministers are incensed against him, and they gave him to understand this in a no uncertain way at this meeting. The ministers stood up manfully and told him how they felt about the matter. He tried to explain, but his explanation did not satisfy the majority of them. He will not find the members of this Union bowing so easily to his will as heretofore.
LARGE CROWD SEES CUBS
DEFEAT LOCAL TEAM
12 TO 3
Providence Plays Today and Philadelphia Athletics Monday
A crowd of about 1500 fans saw the Chicago Cubs defeat the local team Thursday in the first exhibition game of the season. After the first four innings when the visitors gathered their dozen runs, the local players gave the fans an excellent opportunity of getting an eye on their work and acquitted themselves nicely. The game ended in a score of 12 to 3. This afternoon, Saturday, Providence, who is training here, will play the local team and on Monday the world famous Philadelphia Athletics will be seen at the Athletic Park. A large crowd will doubtless be on hand to witness the games of today and Monday. The usual admission price of 25 cents will be charged, boys 15 cents.
man. I am deeply interested in the work that you are doing and am quite convinced that it is along the right lines. If in any way I can aid you, do not hesitate to call upon me."
TAKING THE MATTER UP
Mr. R. Lancaster Williams,
President of the Georgia and Florida Railway writes: "I am in receipt of, yours of the 13th instant and copy of pamphlet entitled Is The Negro Having a Fair chance? I have read the marked article and also your letter and I am taking the matter up with Vice-president Duer of the Georgia and Florida Railway."
NO DISCRIMINATION ON THE MAIN
Mr. C. B. Ryan, General Passenger Agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway writes: "I do not feel that criticism as to the discrimination between the two races in character of equiptment provided for their use in travel can justly be made against the Seaboard Air Line. Our through trains are all equipped with new steel coaches. The coach for white passengers seats 86 people, for colored 48 passengers. The facilities accorded the colored passengers are greater within ratio between white and colored travel. The accommodations are identical in ever respect. On some of our principal local trains, take as an illustration the train leaving Atlanta for Monroe, N. C., a distance of 275 miles, the car which is used for colored passengers castbound is used for white passengers westbound—there being no arrangement for turning the train at its destination. On some of our branch lines and some of the minor accommodation trains, where the character and extent of travel does not justify the higher class equipment, the accommodations are not as good for either white or colored, but as far as we are able to provide there is no discrimination between the two.
CANNOT BELIEVE IT TRUE
Mr. W. W. Croxton, General
Passenger Agent of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
Company, says: "I am much
obliged for sending me copy of an
article recently published by you in
the Century Magazine. The
management of this company want
to accord to our colored patrons
consideration and similar accommodations afforded white travel. I am familiar with the conditions
on our lines, as I spend a greater
part of my time on our trains, and
it is impossible for me to believe
the conditions complained of by
you exist on our line however. I
have referred your article to our

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1914
All Voters Must Register This Year
NEW LAW REQUIRES THIS FOR REGISTRATION
Books Will Remain Open Until April 7th-Cannot Vote in Coming Election Unless You Register This Year
Atlanta, March 17.—While it is true Georgia's permanent registration law has gone into effect, voters in this state must not overlook the fact that in order to be registered permanently they must register this year. Registration prior to enactment of the law will not do. The law was passed by the Legislature at its last summer's session to go into effect with the new registration year and the voter who wants to be registered for all time must register now.
As the result of the new law and the fact that this is a political year which is likely to be a very lively one, there is little doubt about the fact that there will be a heavy registration list in Georgia in 1914.
When the voter registers this year under the new law his name will remain on the registration books for all time, unless he pays his taxes or is convicted of a crime or his name is removed for some other cause. If he registers in one county and later on moves to another one, all he has to do is to get a transfer certificate from the tax collector and his permanent registration is established at his new home.
The registration books for this year's election, that is the general state elections which take place on the first Wednesday in October will close on April 7. Under the law the registration books must close six months in advance of the state election for governor and state house offices. Thus, every voter who registers between now and April 7 becomes permanently registered and will not have to bother about the question of registration any more until for some reason he disqualifies himself or changes his place of residence.
There are still thousands of Georgians who have not registered for this year and many of them doubtless do not realize that the time is so short. It is true that they can become permanently registered by registering at any time during the year, but if they desire to participate in this year's elections they must be registered on or before April 7.
Many Georgians have frequently overlooked the fact that the new law requires registration six months in advance of the state election. Through their failure to comply with the law they have lost the right to vote. Attention is called to this law far in advance of every election held in the state, and still there are many who overlook it until too late.
WORKING TO REGISTER THE VOTERS
Meetings of the Progressive Club Every Wednesday Night to Rally the Voters
Meetings are being held every Wednesday night at Morse's hall by the Progressive Republican Club. This club was organized for the purpose of encouraging colored men to pay their tax and become registered voters. A largely attended meeting was held on Wednesday night, presided over by President W. M. Lawrence. A representative of The Tribune was present and was invited to say a few words. The men, were commended for the interest that they are manifesting and for the earnestness displayed and encouraged to continue the work. Several other speeches were made along the same line.
Through the efforts of the club many names were added to the registration list. The officers are as follows: W. M. Lawrence, president; C. Marshall, vice-president; J. R. Cuthbert, legal adviser; J. B. Scurdy, advocate; E. W. Tolbert, secretary; John W. Chaney, treasurer; John Seabrooks, sergeant-at-arms.
Spring Opening Colored Millinery Store
BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY TO BE SHOWN MONDAY
Exhibit to be Finest in History of the Establishment—Many Ladies to see New Creations—Music to be on Hand
On Monday, March 23rd, the Colored Millinery store,464 West Broad street, will hold its spring opening and the affair gives promise of being attended by a very large crowd of ladies.
This season's latest creations in headgear, such as the tango, aeroplane shapes and others equally attractive to the fair sex, will be shown in profusion.
The predominating colors this season seem to be old blue and tango and many nifty hats in these shades will be seen on display. As usual, music will be on hand, not however to attract the ladies, for the krobby hats are sufficient to draw their attention, but simply to enliven the occasion. Aside from the attractive hats, all the latest ribbons, feathers, and stick-ups will be shown. The Colored Millinery store is the pride of the ladies of the city and beyond a doubt a large crowd will be present to witness Monday's opening. A record sale is looked forward to by Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen, proprietress of this popular store
Activities of the Urban League
The ladies of the Committee on Adult Meetings and Neighborhood Visits are actively at work. Mrs. Rachel Moore, its chairman, is untiring in her efforts, in behalf of the unfortunate ones. The campaign is now on for clean yards. About eighty contestants are working. Visits are made the yards of the contestants every ten days and the condition of the same is noted on each visit. A committee of ladies from the civic department of the Huntingdon Club will visit each contestant and will present a package of flower seeds. This cleaning up spirit should be imbibed even by those who are not in the contest.
Arrangements will soon be perfected by the Committee on Boys Clubs for the series of games between the school children.
The Committee on Reformatory Feature at the Poor Farm, held a well attended meeting last week and entered enthusiastically into their work. Conferences have been held during this week with Judge Charlton of the Superior Court, Judge Freeman of the City Court, and Judge Schwarz of the Recorder's Court, in order to secure their advice and elicit their support in giving the minors at the poor farm a few hours of schooling each day, and to later add a reformatory feature. The committee was cordially received and was given practical encouragement. This shows plainly that our white citizens are willing to aid us in every effort of uplift whenever we show the proper spirit and a willingness to do ourselves.
During the week the president of the Urban League was visited by Mrs.W. H. Baldwin, Jr. of N. Y. Mrs. Baldwin is vice-president of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and is greatly interested in uplift work among our people. Mrs. Baldwin came to give us a word of encouragement in our work, and to note the progress that we are making. She commented favorably on our work. She was accompanied by Mrs. Geo. J. Baldwin, who assured us of her support in our work.
Booster Meeting
The Booster meeting of the 16th. inst., which was held at their hall, East Broad and Henry lane, was quite a successful and interesting one.
The Evangelical Ministers Union
The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday with Rev. P. F. Cory, presiding Rev. A. Freely, evangelist of the A. M. E church visited the union and made a timely address. Sermonic report was given by Rev. J. S. Prescot. Next Tuesday will be sermons report.
Boy's Baseball League Moving on
The City Baseball League, under auspices of the Urban League, has started with a rush and very soon the championship series of games will commence. The following coaches have been selected and hope to commence their work this week: Dr. Lyson at East Broad St. School; Matthew Jones at West Broad St.; J.C. Williams at the Catholic schools and M. W. Bryan the Beach Institute.
There will be a game on the east side and one on the west side each Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The probable grounds are: on the east side; Bolton and Atlantic; on the west side; Thirty sixth and Florence.
It will be interesting to note that the umpires will be so rotated that there will be absolutely no ground for criticism, and the double umpire system will be used. The following gentlemen have been named as the members of the staff: J F. Ford, Capt J Maxwell, Sam King and Merrick Miller, with Matthew Jones as chief-of-staff and alternate. The schedule is now being arranged by a committee of which Dr. C. E. Brent is chairman. This schedule will be published as soon as finished.
An eligibility and rules commission is created also with Mr. J. M. Ferrebee as chairman and the following members: S. C. Johnson and J. G. Lemon. Messrs J H Butler, chairman. S. A. Grant, Drs. C. C Middleton and A. R. Ferebee constitute the committee on Funds and vigilance.
Savannah Hotel Bellmen's Ball Tuesday Night
The first spring ball of the Savannah Hotel Bellmen will be given Tuesday night March 24th, at the Harris street hall. A large crowd is expected to be present and the occasion will be one of the most enjoyable of the season. Mr. Geo. L. Smith is chairman of the committee on arrangements and Mr J. J. Williams will act in the capacity of ex-officio. The price of admission is, single 35 cents, double 50 cents. The following program will be rendered by Mungin's orchestra.

merous cases of lynching that we hear about.
"The lynch law has been brought into politics and even to the pulpit, and it is often misunderstood. Assault is thought to be the usual crime, but I assure you it is decidedly unusual, and I have never known of a case where a Negro who had graduated from a high school had even been suspected of an assault. Not more than 15 per cent of the criminal cases are assault cases and many of the accused are innocent. White men have gone so far as to blacken their own faces when committing a crime so as to throw suspicion on the unfortunate black. The only solution of this problem is a thorough change of heart in the people. Education for white and colored will be a great help."

Case of Jack Johnson
"There is just as much discrimination against colored people in the North as there is in the South today," said Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, a colored lecturer from Washington in an address on "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Ham" at Ford Hall, last night. "It is merely a question of numbers," she said "and here in the North it is even harder for colored men to get employment. But at least, they receive justice in the courts of law here, which is not the case in the South."
Mrs. Terrell is the wife of Judge Terrell of Washington, who was reappointed recently by President Wilson, and was for 11 years on the board of education in Washington. She made a strong plea for her race. She condemned strongly the burlesque on the stage of the colored or in fact of any race, and although she said she had no special admiration for Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, she said that the attitude of the United States government toward him was one of the most disgraceful examples of prejudice in recent years.
"There is not much fuss made when men fight and mobs destroy, or when colored men are even shot and burned, but when a big black man licks a big white man, there is all kinds of action. Laws are passed, and moving pictures suppressed. People should, remember that there is much white blood in the darkest 'black,' and there are very few full-blooded Africans here today.
Though the period of American slavery is one of the darkest chapters of the world's history, there were no crusaders more courageous than those philanthropists of the North who started out after the war to enlighten the minds of those who were nearly brutes, after hundreds of years of slavery. But the colored man's progress cannot fail to meet the approval of his hardest critic. He has found huge obstacles all along the line; in some sections he has been the victim of lawlessness, and even of the law itself, but the North's interest in the colored man is fast disappearing, and I fear that before long it will disappear entirely.
WEALTH OF COLORED PEOPLE.
"There are 32,000 colored teachers in this country, and their school property is valued at $2,500,000 while their church property is valued at $57,000,000, and colored people own 20,000,000 acres of land in the United States. But with all this, the outlook for the colored race is not a bright one. We can teach our children the value of training, of application and of righteousness in life, but we cannot inspire them with hope."
The men realize that no matter how skillful they may be, they have that mark on their face that hinders their ability to secure employment. For the girls and women the outlook is still worse. Outside of teaching, sewing, nursing and cooking, there are few means of livelihood open to them. Then again they and their families are obliged to reside in the districts where vice is open and is in many cases protected by law and the temptations are necessarily great. It is in such districts that the colored children of today are raised.
"The shameful red murder record of the United States may be accounted for by the impunity with which colored men, and in some cases women, are killed every day. The offenders are not often punished, and in many cases they are not even called to account. This applies to the nu-

the world of theologians for 400
years, yet in the providence of the
groat “Lam,” when all the world
was in darkness, by Masonic zeal
and perseverance, it was restored
to a lost world, and for 5009 years
it has been the Mason’s way-bill
through life to Heaven’s portals.
Especially should it be a Mason’s
guide, for when first brought to
light the Holy Bible was the first
thing that met his sight, the first
thicg his attention was culled to,
yet how few brethren study that
way-bill. We leave it for some

us ax his creed may direct, when
the way is so plainly marked that

Farm and Garden WINTER SPRAYING FOR TREES Dermant Spraying is the Only Method For Destroying Certain Parts
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-
1
STREAKING TREES FROM THE ROADWAX.
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 para-
ties, 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 libernating 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 time-sulphur is deemed inadequate. It is very effective in dealing with anthra-nose 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 leading 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 Manure.
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 THOUGHTS
Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None o. us vet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fair palaces we may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity, bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts.—Ruskin.
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
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 driblets, 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 hit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Paillac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangler, 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 Calony.—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.
Woma 's World
Miss Jane A. DuLieu, Distinguished Trained Nurse.
MISS DELANO AND HER MEDAL.
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 merit has 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 of 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 tride 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 tortolse shell. The comb is decorative, and there are small pots for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bottles for perfume, a miniature toothbrush, a 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 fancy 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.
TRY TO BE CHEERFUL
Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be deveop-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 in 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 elders 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 sld 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 up. 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.
Discovery of Turtle Soap.
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.
"I'll take some milk biscuit and a glass of milk," said the second.
"Tea buns and a cup of tea, please," remarked the third.
"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.
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 Plecadilly. 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 repa 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.

Some of our business men complain because the people on not rally to their support. The people not to be blamed. You will are not be supported unless you are known. You cannot be known unless you advertise. Tell the people who you are, what you have for sale and where you are. Be a constant and liberal user of printer's ink and success is assured. Advertise your business is the slogan.
Of unusual interest and significance to us, is the announced intention of a Birmingham jurist to keep tab on the criminally inclined of our people found in the slums of Birmingham, by means of the churches. According to the despatches, it is the plan of the judge to require church attendance on the habitues of the slum sections. A record of this will be kept and the same will serve as a guide to the judge wherever one of the unfortunates of these questionable sections is hailed before him for trial. While compulsory church attendance of grown ups is not in accordance with the principles of American church ethics, we cannot anticipate just now any bad effect that may result from this unique experiment of the Birmingham judge. On the other hand, there is every indication that the experiment may result in doing good. Attending church services is indeed a rare or unusual custom among the criminally inclined. Once a boy or girl, woman or man falls into the rut of criminality, the tendency is for him to drift farther and farther away from the churches. To persuade him to attend a church service is sometimes to get him to make his first step toward his reformation. This has been known to be in a number of instances, isolated nevertheless. If such be the case in individual cases, we do not see why a more general effort to interest the criminally inclined in church going will not result in much good. As we see it, the contemplated experiment is a wise one. And as the same is carried on in the Alabama city, it will be to our interest to watch the same hoping in the meantime that it will be a success.
For the past few weeks a part of the Negro Press has been suffering with a rather malevalent form of hysteria brought on seemingly by an editorial in the March number of the Crisis, anent the poor English used by some of the editors of our race journals. The distinguished scholar and editor of the Crisis, has had some hard names hurled at him and has been called almost everything but a success. In some instances, his whole life has been reviewed with the object ostensibly to hold up to the public gaze any faults or foibles that may have been his. This indeed is not as it should be and meets our severest condemnation. We believe, as does the Editor of the Crisis, that there are many poorly edited sheets among us. The most unsophisticated among us may discern this truth without very great effort. There are newspapers that do not come up to the general standard of newspaper worth. This cannot be denied. Just as there are poor doctors, lawyers, business men and the like, so also are there poor newspapers. For one then to criticise any part of us, that does not come up to the requirement, with a view to stimulating within us a desire for improvement, is indeed not culpable. This, it seems to us, is what Editor DuBois has done. If so, why this present hysteria among certain newspapers? We hardly want to think so, but it does seem to us that the attack on the scholarly editor of the Crisis is unwarranted. Dr. Du-
Bois has made the Crisis a success. It is an influence for good wherever it finds itself. This has been done through hard work in both new and old fields. It is our opinion that if some of the editors of our race journals will do likewise, they will not find time to waste their moments in fancied rebuttal of a just criticism, but, on the other hand, will be found on the husking making and doing good for the cause which they are supposed to represent.
Rail Road Accommodations For Negroes
(Continued from Page 1) operating department, and have asked them to make investigation of conditions outlined in your article." FACILITIES JUST THE SAME FOR BOTH
RACES
Mr. E. T. Lamb, Receiver of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad Company, states: "I have read your article with a great deal of interest, and in reply thereto, beg to say that so far as our company is concerned, we are furnishing the colored travelers with practically the same facilities as are furnished white people. All of our coaches used by colored people are equipped with two compartments, one for the women and one for the men if they do not care to smoke as well as a smoking compartment. There are separate toilets provided for the men and women. Almost as a universal proposition, there is no difference in the character of the equipment provided for the colored and the white people. There is not as much space provided for the colored passengers, but what there is, is equally as good, there is sufficient space, however, provided to accommodate our patrons. At all of our stations the waiting room facilities for colored people are just about the same as for white people. There is not a lunch stand on our road that is not only willing but anxious to sell to colored people all they want, and at one point there is a separate window provided for colored people, and while this is not true at Manchester, the same people operate the lunch stand at Manchester, as at the other point, viz.: Cordela, and colored people have no just cause for complaint as to their ability to get something to eat at these points
STANDS FOR EXACT JUSTICE
STANDS FOR EXACT JUSTICE
Mr. W. G. Parr, Vice-President of the Illinois Central Company, wrote: I note in particular what you say about the railways and will give the matters referred to my personal attention to see what event we are derelict. I am sure however, the matters you refer to have been greatly improved under the present management of the Illinois Central. We have had some of the other questions you raise under consideration for some time back. We abolished the 'supply train' on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. We have stood for exact justice to our colored employees in other respects."
TRIES TO TREAT ALL ALIKE
Mr. C W Pidock, President of Georgia Northern Railway Company replies as follows: "I have yours of the 9th inst.; enclosing a marked copy of pamphlet containing an article which you recently contributed to the 'Century Magazine,' and have noted with interest what is said on pages 13, 14 and 15. For your information I beg to advise that within the last three years this company has purchased two new trains of passenger equipment, to cover our regular runs between Boston and Albany, Georgia, and which comprise all of our passenger trains, and particular attention was given to furnishing exactly the same accommodations for colored passengers as for white. The cars are duplicates and contain separate compartments for colored smokers the same as the white cars. Toilet facilities were also given same consideration, likewise ventilation, lights, etc. Would say that we at all times try to give the two races the same accommodations but, of course, you will readily understand that there are times when we have to put other than the new regular coaches in service. Even then an effort is made to treat all alike and conductors are instructed not to permit white people to ride in cars assigned for colored people, and vice versa."
NOT TRUE OF GEORGIA RAILWAY

General Manager of Georgia Railroad, says: "Replying to your letter of October 13th, addressed to Mr. Thomas K. Scott, beg leave to advise that the Georgia Railroad provides separate waiting rooms at stations for both white and col-

Deaths
Mr. Alonzo Deas died at his late residence 312 Gaston street, west, on Saturday morning of last week at 4 o'clock and was buried on Sunday afternoon from First A. B. church, Franklin square. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. W. Bryant, Advance Lodge Knights of Pythias and the Ladies Branch of the Palmetto Aid and Social Club, of which he was a member, attended the funeral. Mr. Deas, though complaining for some time was able to abou and his sudden death was a shock to his family and his many friends. He was 53 years of age. He was born in Charleston, S. O., and lived in this city from boyhood. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Henrietta Deas, five children and two brothers.
Mr. George F. Tyson died suddenly at his aunt's home last Saturday while preparing to go to work. He was one of the oldest mal carriers, having been in the postoffice nearly thirty years. He was born in Savannah in 1865. He was well-known by all the old citizens and the people that lived within his route. He always had a smile and a cheering word for every one, and they have expressed their sympathy to the bereaved family, and mourn the death of one who has given so much pleasure and sunshine. His death comes as a shock of unusual severity.
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land.
We'll read the meaning of our tears. And there some time we'll understand.
We'll catch the broken threads again,
And fi iish what we here began,
And then, ah then, we'll understand,
God knows the way; He holds the key;
God knows the way; He holds the key;
He guides us with unerring hand.
Some time with tearless eyes we'll
see;
Yes, there, up there we'll understand.
Then trust in God thro' all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand,
Though dark thy way, still sing and
praise;
Some time, some time, we'll understand
Surviving him are a daughter, Miss Sadie Tyson; aunt? Mrs. Mary Willy, of this city; two sisters, Mrs. Florence Francis, Miss Florida Tyson, Newark, N. J.; two brothers, Messrs. Joseph Tyson, New York-City; and Clifford Tyson of Newark, N. J.
Mr. Kelly Graham, 65 years of age of N. Kensington, died suddenly on Wednesday night, on the Buckhalter road. Mr. Graham went to work Tuesday and as he did not show up that night a search was started for him Wednesday morning with the result that he was found dead near the road. The deceased was for the
past 27 years president of the Seven Brothers's Society. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Eva Graham, several sons and daughters and a few grand children. The funeral will take place at Sandfly, to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the A. M. E. church. Secretary L. W. Beasley of the Seven Brothers' society will speak of the deceased at the funeral.
Mr. I. H. B. Goodwin wishes to extend many thanks to friends for the sympathy and cour esies shown him in the death of his wife on February 14th, 1914.

Mother dearest, my lily fair,
You have left me in grief and pain
To bloom in our dear Lord’s garden
Never to suffer again.

‘White Men Recelre Meals and
Lodging at Negro insti-
tutional Church in
Boston
Between 30 and 50 white men
were given meals at the Mt. Pil-
grim (colored) Church in Lenox
street yesterday after attending
services there, and several others
who did notattend service obtained
mealSand lodging. ‘The Rev. G.
W. ‘Tillman, superintendent of
the associuted charity institution
connected with the church, said
yesterdry that the number who
sought food on that day was,
greater than the society usually
serves, but there has not been a
day this winter that homeless men
and women have not been given
meals in the building adjoining
the church.
‘The litvie wooden structure in
Lanox street has been opened, all
winter to hungry and discouraged
‘menand women. Ihe society it-
self is non-sectarian and, though
in asection of Boston where by
far the greater number of neigh-
bors are colored, have served all
who came seeking aid.
‘The bill uf fare yerterday was
not elaborate, but it consisted of
wholesome and hot food. There
were three services during the day
and immediately after each ser-
vice homeless men were tpvited in.
On the window of this little
wooden, structure, which bears a
gilded wouden cross ona_ front
|gable, are inscribed the words:
“Office of the Christan Non-Secta-
rian Home. Forold ladies, rescued
and fallen women—providing free
might’s lod&ing for the poor, re-
gardless of color or creed.” Nc
one has ever been turned away
from this mission, and men and
women from the streets have hac
meals there at all hours of the day
and night.
Duriag the cold spells of this
wintor the house has been taxed
for room and cot beds have been
brought in for the wayfarers
Mr. Tilman said yesterday: “The
first discouraging thought of the
man orwomen in the streets is:
j‘No one cares for me, whether ]
live or die? That is the firs:
thing we have to fight. We try
make these people believe that we
do care forthem and that we arc
willing to help them to get em*
ployment We have taken whit
women from Boston streets an
have put them into places wher:
they can begin again. Our charit;
iis practical.”

en Text, Mark ii, 27—Comtnentary
| Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns,
Both of ihe portions assigned for to-
‘day are Sabbath day Incidents. 10
the first He healed a womun In the
synagogue who bad been ailiicted
eighteen years, and in the necond He
heuled a man who bud the dropsy in
the bouse of one of the cbief Phuri-
sees. The ruler of the synnxogne was
indignant because the womun bud
been healed on the Sabbath day. for
the day wus more to them than the
Lord who gave them the day, und
they bnd not learned that the one in
their midst was the Lord even of the
Sabbath day, greater than the tem-
ple, and that it was lawful to do well
on the Sabbuth day (Matt. xi! G8. 12).
‘The Inte Dr. Wexton of Crozier seini-
nary says, in his nutes on Mutthew.
that the immediate occasion of the
determination by the Jewish rulers to
put Christ to death was His relation
to the Sabbath. Christ”clalmed that
the Jewish nation were His people;
that as Son of Man He wae greater
than thelr greatest king. greater thun
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 neces-
sarily the Redeemer was creater than
all the means of redemption.
The Jewish Sabbath was the one pe-
cullar and distinctive omlinance of the
nation. It wag the Jewish national
flag. If the nation is to be deprived
of {ts distinction from other nations,
what is the use of being God's people?
Pride, self righteousness, arrogance.
had taken possession of them. Incar-
nate 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
Whelr case was hopeless. The nation
‘was doomed. Yet He was slow tocast
them off. Ephralm was joined to idols,
Israel would not frame her doings to
turn unto her God. yet His ery was,
“How shall 1 give thee up?” (Hos. ty,
47; v, 4: x1, BY
As He sald in the parable of the un-
fruitful Og tree, “‘Let it alone this year
giso 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 ts slow to
anger and plenteous in mercy, not will-
ing that any should perish, but the
day of the Lord will come {11 Peter iff,
9, 10). He delights in mercy and lov-
ing kindness, and judgment Is His
strange worl (Jer, ix, 23, 24; Hos. vi,
6; Isa. xxvill. 21.
Babbath signifies rest and a ceasing
from our own works (Gen. il, 1-3; Heb.
tv, 3, 4, 10), but these hypocrites were
full of their own works, their own
days, thelr 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 thelr midst.
The sicknesses which He healed
were typical of the spiritual condition
of the nation and of the condition of
multitudes today. Thls woman tn the
synagogue was lke many who are
found in our churches. She was long
yeurs bowed down, bound by Satan
and utterly unable to iift herself up.
Every unsaved person is bound by
Satan and unable to loosen or lift up
himself, and nelther the synagugue
nor any mere human agency cun do
any good, for by the deeds of the law
e2n no one be justified, for the law,
although holy and Just and good, can-
not give life (Gab Ml, 16; ill, 10, 11, ~13
Rom. vif, 12).
By one word, one touch, from Him
who Is the end of the law for right-
eousness to every one that believeth
the infirmity of eighteen years instant-
ly disappeared, the bound one was

FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
‘How One North Daketa Man Gets
Greatest Return From Crops.
A North Dakotan realizes the mazt-
mum returns from bis wheat and rye
crops by converting these grains Into
flour which he sells at $3 a hundred
pounds. In bis locality It was practi-
cally impossible to obtain good rye,
graham or whole wheut tour, so this
farmer started growing and grinding
his own grain. As he becawe preb-
clent the quality of the four improved
until finally bis neighbors were anno-
ally demanding bis surplus at hand-
some prices. This keen demand for
high quality flour increused wntll he
decided that it would py him to equip
a small mill thoroughly and to embark
In the business on u commercial scale.
A stream of considerable velocity
ows through his farm and furnishes
the power with which to operate his
machinery. He equipped his minia-
ture mill with a crusher, a grinder, a
cleaner and an elevator, The income
from his flour business during the first
two years pald for bis pint and equip-
ment and yielded bim a guod net profit
This miller eliminutes ut! the charges
that usually go to the middiesinan. He
annually raises about elghty acres of
wheat and thirty-five acres of rye.
Some of this grain he sells as a cash
crop on account of inadequate bin
room in which to store St, bet more
than baif of the crop is converted into
four to be used for human food.
A gasoline engine {s also maintained
as a reserve source of power in case
the water power should give out. The
marketable four is neatly sacked and
sells for $3 a bundred pounds, An-
nually the rye and wheat have a
farm value of about 60 and & cents
a bushel respectively where they ate
sold as cash crops. At a slight ex-
pense as regards tlme and labor this
sbrewd farmer conterts his raw wheat
and rye—that ip the bulk are worth ap-
proximately $1.07 and $1.10 a bundred
pounds—into excellent four that sells
for $3.2 hundred pounds.
Yearly this progressive farmer 1s
gaining an attractive income from hls
milling operatious. since be also grinds
grain for bis neighbors, ‘This labor in

Plowing tn Winter.
There Is a diversity of opinon as to
the advisability of plowing In winter.
It is generatiy conceded, bowerer,
that sod lands sbtuld be plowed In the
winter season. The freezing and thaw-

ALFALFA A MONEY MAKER.
Success In Assured if Proper Directions Are Followed.
By H. D. HUGHES.
Chief 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 seedling 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 increases 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 grower rake the alfalfa into windows 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 hand in once. This method also eliminates the labor of cooking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large aero-ges.
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 ecked it is sat late in the afternoon or the morning. raked before dinner and put in eckes in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers amuses 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 mice or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter.

NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN.
The common sense costume shown here is a Polet 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 made the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapis lazuli, 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.
At present the lavish 'display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of

the midwinter season and the introduction of many new novelties. Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, quantitly fashioned berthas.
The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacer than ever and some very prettily designed. These show up particularly well on a dress of dark serge. Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze.
Making the Little Farm Pay

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, 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 bonemeal. 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 double duty, but restores the soil fertility.
If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a through way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of measure 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 fertilisation.
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 foisted 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 Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty."
A Famous Old English Church.
The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high.
The light and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. 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.

As She Is Wrote in England.
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 to 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 1832, 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 coking coal and of the limestone require site for fuxing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manu facture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.
