A FEW PACTS CONCERNING
HiS WORK HERE
Will Preach Farewell Sermon
Tuesday Night—One of Most
, Successiul Pastors in the City
‘The Rey. D. Augustine Reid,
who leaves the pastorate of the
Second Baptist church, in this
city, after astay of about three
anda half years, has hada sue-
cess to come to him, which few
ministers have in so short a time.
Dpon a call extended him on
Sunday October 16th, 1910, while
he was pastor of a prosperous
church in Philadelphia, he came
to Savannah and took charge .of
the Second Baptist church on the
second Sunday in November 1910.
His first sermon as pastor was
preached from the text Romans
1:15-16. ‘So as much asin me
is, I am ready to preach the gos-
pel to you that are in Rome. For
Tam not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, etc.”
On his arrival here, he found
the church in serious financial
straits. There was an empty
treasure, a mortgage on the
eburch, various notes in banks
and many bills unsettled. In ad-
dition he found he founda scat-
tered membership, due in a large
measure to the absence for a long
time of a regular pastor of the
eburch.
One of the first stepsof the
pastor was to systematize the
church’s indebtedness, Through
his advice, the church secured a
large loan covering all indebted-
ness and thus was enabledto place
the same in a lump at one place.
This done, a loan of $4000 was
secured.
Plans were next made for the
renovation of the church edifice.
This was begun in the lecture
room and then extended to the
auditorium. Therenoyation work
of the entire edifice was complet-
ed within six months from the
time he assumed the pastorate of
the church.
At his first rally nearly $2000
were raised and in his first revi-
val 150 new members were added
to the church.
During his three and a_half
years of pastorate, Dr. Reid has
raised, with the co-operation of
his oflicers and members, a little
over nineteen thousand ($19,000)
dollars for current and other ex-
penses. Thechurch has spent for
the general renovation in addition
to paying off the old mortgage
about ten thousand ($10,000) dol-
jars. For charity, education,
Home and Foreign Mission, one
thousand six hundred and twenty
five ($1625) dollars haye been ex-
pended, There have been addeil
to the church nearly five hundred
(500) members. He has in addit-
ion to the preaching of an average
of three sermons weekly, pe:-
formed twenty one (21) marriage
ceremonies and officiated at the
foncral of 119 members Dorinz
his entire pastorate he has tchen
only ane vacation.
On Monday evening Mirch t4
before « larga audience, there ¥ us
burnid at the church tho old
$4000 mortgage, Dr. Reid has
————E
been active not only in his church
work but in the work of the com-
munity as well. In leaving the
Second Baptist church to assume
charge in Anniston, Alabama,
he carries with him not only
the best wishes of the communi-
cants of the church of which he
was pastor but of the entire citi-
zen bedy both white and black.
to whom he was favarably and fa-
miliarly known —The folfowing
resolutions are evidentes of Rev.
Keid’s popularity in the city:
Resolutions from Official Board
Savannah, Ga., March 1914.
To the officers and members of Second
Baptist Church of Savannah, Ga.,
Greeting:
Whereas the resignation of Dr. D.
Augustine Reid was presented at a
regular monthly meeting of the dea-
cons board held in the month of Decem-
‘ber 1913, the said resignation was read
and its acceptance by the church was
delayed until the first Monday in Feb-
ruary 1914; and for the Spereciation of
the faithful service rendered while
pastoring the Second Baptist church,
we, therefore, as the members ef Fin-
ance and others offer the following
resolutions.
‘The purpose of these resolutions is
togive expressionof the great love and
respect for the Rev. D. Augustine
Reid, D. D., and to show him how
strong is our desire for him to remain
with us as our spiritual advisor. We
also desire to show him how much we
appreciate his christian character, gen-
ialand kindly spirit and his loyalty to
his people and those good qualities
which hold him so dear to our hearts
and which go to make up the highest
and best of the christian ministry. His
administration of the finance of our
church has been successful, because it
has been based on honesty.
His achievements since he has been
a resident of the city of Savannah com-
peladmiration, they inspire feelings,
they touch the very chords of our
nature,
‘We have urged Dr. Reid to remain
with us though we must admit it is a
matter for Dr. Reid and his God to de-
cide, and should he go we hope for him
a peaceful and prosperous administra-
tion in his new field of labor. May
God be with him always and bless and
guide him is our prayer. 7

Attempt to Rob
Negro Bank
WHITE MAN ARRESTED BY
POLICE ON SUSPICION
Wounded in Struggle With
Wighwayman in the Vault
Atlanta, March 25—An unsuc-
cessful attempt to rob the Atlan-
taState Savings Bank, 200 Au-
burn avenue, a Negro institution,
was made here late today by a
lone bandit. The police have
arrested 2 white man giving his
name as Ed, R. Kbynata, 30 years
old, on suspicion of having at-
tempted the hold-up, Rhynata,
who is married and says he is
amactor, denies any knowledge
of the deed. 8
J. C. Ross, 23 years old, Negro
book-keeper in the bank, was the
only officer of the-institution in
the bank cooms, the other offi-
cials and emplofés having left
for the day, when he was con:
fronted shortly after 5 o'clock
by the robber who, pointing a
revolver at him, demanded that
he accompany him into the vault,
the doors of which were standing
open.
ORDERED ROSS INTO VAULT
“Getinto the vault.and get in
there quick,’ was the bandit’s
command, according to Ross.
| Both men entered the vault,
shen the loan robber demanded
that Ross open the doors of the
safe containing the banks fands,
which was locked. The book-
keeper refused, whereupon the
bandit drew a piece of gas pipe
about three feet lou,., striking
Ross overthe head and inflicting
a severe scalp wound,
The bookkeeper then grappled
with the highwayman, fiaally
escaping from the vault and into
Auburn avenue, giving the alarm.
The robber also ran from the
bank. starting up Auburn avenue
to Bell street. James Tate, a
Negre postoffe clerk, attempted
to stop the robber, the latter
drawiog a revolver and firing
wildly at Tate. _ ~
Tate and others took up th?
pursuit of the fleeing man, whe
tarned into Houston street, where
he attempted to bourd a street
car, the conductor forcing him
off. The bandit drew his revol-
ver and fired twiee at the conduc-
tor, both shots going wild. The
conductor replied witha reyolver,
but failed to hit the fleeing man,
ESCAPED IN BUGGY
From Houston street the hunt-
ed bandit turned into Peachtree
street which he followed to Cain
street, where he forced a Negro.
at the point of a revolver to make
room for him in his buggy.
Keeping his revolver leveled at
the Negro he made him whip his
horse into a gallop and turn
into Williams street. Here the
robber jumped from the vehicle
and fled.
William Wooten, a Negro, told
the police 2 few minutes later
that he had seen an excited man
go into a house at 30 Williams
street The police found Rhy-
nata in the house, lying in bed.
His wife was with him. He told
the police he had been ill and in
bed the entire day. _ His wife
told the police a similar story.
The chase of the robber cover-
ed a distance of twelve blocks
before he jumped from the bug-
gy and fled. Rbynata tonight
was identified by Ross, the book-
keeper, as the man who confront-
edhim, according to the police.
The aceused said hishome was
in Denver, Col., and that he had
been in Atlanta about three
months. 4 The authorities said he
told them that hehad-not been
working for some time.
The Atlanta State Savings
Bank is rated as one of the
strongest Negro institutions in
the city.

*Dormant Spraying is the Only Method
*For Destroying Certain Pests.
For Destroying Certain Pests.
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, anthraenose, 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 out 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-

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 parasites, 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 flaking, 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 leaking 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 Manute.
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 THOUGHT
Make for yourselves ness pleasant thoughts. None o. at know, for none of us have b taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beauty 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 Cadderley?"
"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 naturelly 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 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 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, happler, more blessed, less accursed—it's 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.

MISS DELANO AND HER MEDICAL
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 council 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 Ied 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 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 Ited 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 gift 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 varled are these dalty trifles and devices featuring a season of unusual luxury and elegance.
Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed 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 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 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"—Ladles' Home Journal.
Discovery of Turtle Soup.
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 re-elected 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 coconut 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. $ ^{0} $
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 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 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.

Saparday, March 28, 1914.
The Tribune together with the
rest of the people of Savannah
feel most keenly the loss of Rev.
LD. Augustine Reid, late pastor of
the Second Baptist church, who
Seaves during next-week for anoth-
er field of labor. Since coming to
us some three or four years ago,
Rey. Reid has been an unusually
potent factor in both the religious
and economic life of our commu-
nity. Dignified and gentleman-
jy in his bearing, Christ-like in
his nature, intelligent and pro-
gressive in everye way, he has
smoyved about and among us doing
good by giving inspiration and
encouragement wherever they
were needed, as well as intelli-
gent direction to all matters with
which he was connected either
officially or otherwise. We have
no hesitancy in saying that it is
Sayannab’s great loss tobe ua-
able to claim further the presence
-and services of Rey. Reid. He
will surely be missed. The Old
Folks Home, of which he was the
Jeading spirit, the Urban League,
the Business League and the va-
rious other civic and religious
institutions with which he was
sconnected will find it hard to fill
this place. But, as our gain was
Philadelphia’s loss, likewise will
cour loss be Anniston’s gain-
In leaving us, it would be a plea-
sure to us to know that the good
reverend is leayiny with a con-
sciousness of gratefulness in the
hearts of the people-of Savannah
of no ordinary degree. As he
leaves us we wish for him life’s
greatest blessings in his new field
ef endeavor and that the success
which he so justly merits will be
his in the new ficld as it has ! ven
in the past.
No one witha scintilla of race
pride can failto feel both opti-
mistic and encouraged over the
present building activities among
us. Within the past few months,
the homes and other structures
built by our people reflect not
only credit upon the frugality of
our people bus upon the commu-
nity as well. With the comple-
tion of the handsome forty
thousand dollars home of the
Wage Earners Bank, now in
course of construction, together
with other buildings of neat but
more modest pretensions, the
high water mark in the local
building activity of our people
will have.been reached. For us
to note such progress among us
is indeed gratifying as well as an
augury that the colored people
of Savannah are slowly but sure-
ly moving forward. In noting
the continued progress of our
people in the community, we
cannot help but take cognizance
of the friendly relation between
theraces, which, in alarge mea-
sure, has aided our people in their
struggle for econo mic ad-
yancement. As has often been
said, there is no city in the en-
tire country in which the feeling
of friendliness and cooperation
between the races is more mani.
fest than in Savannah, Here un.
like many other places, the Ne-
gro is absolutely secure in all of
his premises, whether they be
home, school or church. Here
we have excellent opportu-
nity to develop into noble staturc
of American manhood. Friends
of the race are many here. Much
cooperative endeavor on the part
of our white citizens is turnec
our way. Giving us @ square
deal is rather the rule than th
exception. This is as it shoulc
be and meets the approval of al
believers in fair play to all re
gardless as to color. To those o
our people who are pushing for
ward we doff our caps, wit!
the hope that others may follov
their good example of increasing
or augmenting the economic anc
financial wealth of the communi.

‘REMEMBER THY CREATOR IN THE
DAYS OF THY YOUTH
How many of us take in this
beautiful picture of human fife,
as given by gthe wise man? In
}youth and young manhood, we
are led astray by the follies of
life. Wedo not realize that we
are mortal. We forget the time
will surely come when ths ‘‘clouds
will return after the rain;” that
the hands that keep the house will
tremble, and that the once strong,
erect man will bebowed with age.
We forget that the eagle eye will
become dim, the toothless gum
will cease to grind our food, that
the gray hairs will’ cover our
head, and our feet will become a
burden; when desire for pleasure
shall fail; all indicating that we
shall soon go to our long home,
and the mourners will go about
the streets. This fine description
of poor mortality should impress
us as Masons with our great re-
sponsibility to ‘‘lead the blind in
paths they have not known, and
make darkness light,” before the
evil days come and the years draw
nigh when they will say, I have
no pleasure in them.
Would to God that every Mas-
ter could feel that responsibility
is his when seated in the East. A
dozen members may neglect their
duty or go wrong witbout appar-
ent effect, but let ene Master fail
in his duties and all,is chaos.
As the sun rules and governs
the day, and the moon illumines
and beautifies the night, so should
the Worshipful Master, with
equal regularity, govern and con-
trol bis lodge.
A Master should be dilligent in
drawing designs on life’s trestle-
board, that the craft may labor
with pleasuxe and profit,
Much depends on the Master.
Let ro man lightly assume the
office of staster. The office will
not hen: him, be must so live
and sc ss to honor the office.

GUARDED BY MASONIC PINS.
Mon who are members of secret
societies do not always wear the
emblems of these orders, it is no
uncommon thing at the union de-
pot tosee young women and child-
ren whu are “Masons,” ‘*Elics,”
or “Odd Fellows.” Not thatthey
really are affilated with these or-
ders, but that the various em
blematic pins have been put on
them to assure safety in traveling.
A few days ago a young girl
upon whose breast was pinned a
square and a compass lost her
railroad ticket. Slie was journey-
ing alone from California to adis-
tant Eastern point. A man who
recognized the fact that some
member of her family was a Ma-
son learned of her misfortune.
‘There was not much ceremony,
but iu less than five minutes a
new ticket had been bought and
paid for and the girl placed.safely
aboard the trainon which she was
to continue her journey,
+ Yesterday a small boy who also
[was a “Mason” had no difficulty
in finding friends atthe depot.
He wore a pin which belonged to
his father and, although the latter
was many miles away. there was

sas City Journal.
With 2 good many men, Mason-
ry isnothing but a sort © fire
escape to be used only in cases of
emergency. Such men pay their
dues regularly,. and do whatever
may be necessary, to maintain a
semi-quasi Masonic existence, but
itis all done with the thought that
at some time Masonry will be of
service to them and they will get
back all it hascost them in money.
The writer sat in lodge one night,
by the side ofa man who was in
good circumstancesin life. When
the hat was passed to raise some
money for therelief of an indigent
brother, he very grudgingly
dropped ina nickle. When told
that he ought to have done better,
he replied, ‘‘saying that he wasn’t
particularly interested inthe work
of the lodge.” Two years after,
the same brother became sick and
asked the lodge fora nurse. An
investigation showed that he was
worth over $10,000 in property.
When his request was refused he
became exceedingly wroth, de-
claring that he would takea dimit,
which he did much to the satis-
faction of the members. of his
lodge. His Masonit¢ fire escape
proved of noavail.—Illinois Free-
mason.
The Grand Orator of British
Columbia] well says: “What a
wealth of affection there is con-
jured up by the phrase, “brotherly
love!’ the hand shake and word of
greeting to the old friend. the
cheering welcome to one out of
sight, perhaps, for long, but not
out of mind, the grasp of sympa-
thy for the brother in his time of
sorrow and bitter trial: the en-
couraging grip to the stranger
who feels his loneliness in a
strange land, and rejoices with the
new found hope in the brotherly
grip of the mason.
A NOBLER MISSION
It needs no argument to con-
vince any mason who is not dead
to all his obligations that Masonry
has some higher and nobler mis-
sion than the mere conferring of
degrees; that the work of the
lodge room has a greater scope
than the repetition of ceremonies,
be they ever so'venerable with age
or beautiful with sentiment; that
the records of a’ lodge which do
not tell of us some good deed per-
formed, some act of charity done
for charity’s sake are but the
‘memories of wasted hours of yain
‘pretensions, of solemn promises
broken, or duties neglected.—

Good form
Unneighborly Noises.
Lack of neighborly responsibility seems to be conspicuous through all ranks of society. You can understand the conduct of the knife grinder who blows his horn or rings his bell under your window, regardless of the rest or work he may be interrupting, just as you can excuse the yells of the itinerant vegetable or fruit vender who cries his wares raucously along the street.
These noise producers are working for their living, and their calls and clangings are part of their stock in trade. Without them you would not know their goods were offered for sale. You can even tolerate the hanging of the beaters on rugs on the roof or in the back yard, because you know the cleaning must be done, and it is being performed in the only locality that presents itself.
But what good is gained by the unnecessary honkings of an automobile which wake the echoes of your street at midnight? Why should the collectors ofashes and garbage make unnecessary noise in the discharge of their duties? And to come within the house and in touch with those who are supposed to have gentler tendencies, why should persons of like nature with ourselves keep so called music—either vocal or instrumental—going at an hour when ordinary, every day folk are supposed to be asleep?
Rings For Bridegrooms
A custom rather strictly observed in Germany is the exchange of rings by bride and bridegroom on the wedding day, and it is a very pretty idea. "Why shouldn't the man have some outward symbol to show that he is married as well as a woman?" asked a little dark eyed bride who had used this double ring ceremony. And why not? Very few brides now select a plain diamond solitaire that was for so long considered the only proper engagement token; the larger the stone the more the girl loved to flash it. Now a diamond is used if the girl wishes it, but it is cut and set in some individual manner and is made with the promise that no duplicates will be sold.
Some new rings are being shown which on first appearance seem to be very handsome seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment.
Table Manners.
When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction.
Dancing Etiquette.
"When dancing with a young girl," asks a perplexed masculine reader, "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?"
The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty.
Street Introductions.
An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C. Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege.
Consideration For Servants.
Respect your maid's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her at night. Some women have a most pernicious habit of getting their maids up to unhook clothes, while others will remember in the small hours a number of orders that should have been given at dinner time.
A Little Snow Shoveler
In Central Park, New York.
A
by American Press Association.
Like the rest of the northern country. New York city has been enveloped in a snow blanket for several weeks, something quite unusual in the big city. It has been a source of great annoyance to most folks, but children see nothing but good in the snowdrifts. Not in years has there been such coasting, and the hills in the parks and many of the streets have been alive with little people, making the best of the welcome opportunity. The smiling little lady in the picture is Mary Thatcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Thatcher of New York city. Little Miss Thatcher, who looks somewhat like an Eskimo baby in her winter clothes, was shoveling snow with an elder sister for a companion when the camera man happened along and took her picture. She was pleased with the idea of being photographed and posed very prettily

Paper Bag Frolics.
Busy mothers may discover in paper bags many possibilities for amusement and exercise for their children. They will prove a boon on many a stormy day. A small bag inflated and tightly tied makes an excellent air ball to be batted upward with the palm of the hand. When two or three boys and girls try to but it before it falls to the floor there is plenty of excitement. The bag will stand a good deal of batting. A larger bag filled with wool or pieces of soft woolen cloth and tied tightly serves well for an indoor football and will do no injury. A paper bag the size of an ordinary punching bag can be stuffed, tied and hung in the doorway just low enough for a youngster to punch.
Paper bags of any and all sizes will give pleasure when the children want to play shop. Smoothed out paper bags can be used for kites and will amuse the little tots. The bags should be tied to the window sill outside and left to flutter against the panes
Land of Wheelbarrows.
The wheelbarrow is the most common medium of transportation in Shantung, China. The load is balanced about the wheel so that the workman does not have to carry a portion of the load, as is the case with the American wheelbarrow. Some wheelbarrows have but one push man, some having a pulling man as well. Some have one, two and three donkeys to aid in the pulling, and some are equipped with a sail to obtain the help of favorable winds. The equipment depends on the load carried, the maximum load being about a ton—Chicago Journal.
Aurora Borealis.
The aurora borealis is a combination of two Latin words meaning "northern dawn." In Great Britain it is seen as an arch of whitish green or rosy light in high northern latitudes during clear nights, especially in winter. In the arctic regions it is a vivid mass of ribbon-like bands of light extending in irregular half circles, one above the other, from the horizon where the sun has set. As it disturbs delicate magnets, it is believed to be due to electric discharges controlled by the magnetic forces of the earth.
The Long Star State:
Texas is sometimes referred to as the Lone Star State. This is owing to the fact that for a brief period before the American civil war Texas was an independent state, and prominent on her national flag was one solitary star.

AIM HIGH
One philosopher said: "In the long run men hit only what they aim at, therefore, lest they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high." That's exactly what the Ga. Mutual Insurance Co. is doing, aiming at the lay when we as Negroes will have reached that height in life when we will refuse to consider any business proposition which does not carry with it some provisions directly benefiting our boys and girls. This is partly what the Ga. Mutual is existing for. How about that other insurance you are about to join! Better aim high.

Lesson XIII.—First Quarter, For March 29, 1914.
THE INTERNATIONAL • SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Matt. vii, 21-29.
Comprehensive Quarterly Review.
Golden Text, Mic. vi, 8—Commentary
Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
LESSON 1.-Jesus and 'the Children, Mark ix, 30-37; x, 13-16. Golden, Text. I Pet. v, 5. "Be clothed with humility, for God resisteth the proud and giveth grieve to the humble." In the first part of our lesson the contrast is between the desire for greatness on the part of the disciples and the humility of a little child. In the second part it is the contrast between the fullness of the rich young ruler and the emptiness of the blessed children.
Lesson II.-The Mission of the Seventy, Luke x, 1-10. Golden Text, Matt x, 20. "It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." Prayer that the Lord would send forth laborers to be honest prayer must be from hearts willing to be sent forth, as lambs among wolves. We are to preach peace by Jesus Christ and to have no anxiety about our recompense. When the kingdom comes there will be no sick folks (Isa. xxxii. 24).
LESSON III.—The Good Samaritan, Luke x, 25-37. Golden Text, Mark xiii, 31, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" When our Lord called any one's attention to the law it was that they might be convinced of sin and led to Himself as the Saviour of sinners (Rom iii, 19, 20; x, 4; Gal iii, 21-24). We are as helpless to do anything to save ourselves or obtain eternal life as was the man who fell among thieves. He was half dead, but we are wholly dead (Eph. ii, 5).
Lesson IV.—Serving Jesus, Luke vill,
13; ix 57-62; x, 38-42. Golden Text,
Matt xxv, 40. "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these,
My brethren, ye have done it unto
Me" in the first and last sections of
this lesson we see women ministering
unto him, and Mary of Bethany, having
their part, found time to listen
to His teaching. In the second section
we will that serving Him means none
of self and no looking back.
LESSON V.—The Unfriendly Neighbor, Luke xi. 1-13. Golden Text, Luke xi. 9, "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." A better title for this lesson would be "The Father who govern all," according to Rom. vill. 32. If we honor Him, as in the first three petitions of the prayer (verses 2-4), we may count upon Him to make good all the rest and verse 13 also.
LESSON VL—Darkness and Light, Luke xi. 14-26; xxxill. 36. Golden Text, Luke xi. 35, "Take heed, therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness." These religious people were so blinded by their own self righteousness, which was really darkness and not light, that they could not distinguish between God and the devil.
LESSON VII. — Christ's Hatred of Shams, Luke xi, 37-54. Golden Text, Gal. vi. 7, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked." There is always a loving welcome from the Lord Jesus for all who penitently turn to Him, but for hypocrites, such as these Pharisees and lawyers. He has the most severe words—a welcome for sinners, but a woe for the self righteous.
LESSON VIII — Faith Destroying Fear, Luke xii, 1-12. Golden Text, Luke xii. 8, "Whosoover shall confess Me before men him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God." The hatred of the truly righteous by the self righteous resulted in expulsion from the synagogue and even in death (John xvi, 2), but the separation of soul and body was given to the believer and not a thing to be feared (Jn. iii. 1, 21-23).
Lesson IX—Trusting In Riches and Trusting In God, Luke xii, 13:34
Golden Text, Luke xii, 34, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"
It is still, manifestly true that, as a rule, men are more interested in carefully things than in heavenly things and act as foolishly as did the man in this lesson. He who gives us life may require it of us at any time.
Lesson X—Watchfulness, Luke xii, 35:48
Golden Text, Luke xii, 37, "Blessed are those servants whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching." In verse 43 there is also a blessing upon the one found doing. When saved we are put in trust with pounds and talents, and the Holy Spirit is given to us to dwell in us, work in us and teach us, and our commission is "toenep till I come" (Luke xix, 16).
LESSON XI.—The Lawful Use of the Sabbath. Luke xiii, 10-17; xiv, 1-6. Golden Text. Mark ii, 27. "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath." Their greatest accusations of Christ were that He made Himself equal with God and, in their estimation dishonored their Sabbath (John x. 22:36; ix. 14; v. 18). They were so blinded by their own doings that they could not see their need of what He came to give them.
Lesson XII.—Lessons by the Way.
Luke xiii. 18-30. Golden Text. Matt.
vil. 21. "Not every one that saith
* * * but he that doeth." There is
much false teaching, and there are
many deceived people, and the only
safety is by the Truth, which is in
Christ Jesus, who is Himself the
Truth. In Him is Life and nowhere
else (John v. 12), and until we have
Life by truly receiving Him we can
do nothing to please Him.

Barometers Indicate State of Mind.
If you're a business man—watch the
barometer.
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.
The barometer, he says, is as sure an indicator of persons' minds as it is of the weather. You'll find them active and up and doing with the barometer high; gloomy and irritable with the barometer low.-Boston Post.
Putting Them at Ease
Precedence is not the only puzzle in official and social circles in any city, but to say the right thing at the right time is equally necessary.
"To make mistakes in speech is suicidal," said a state department official recently. "Let it not be as in the case of Mrs. Brody, who gave a party, and when all the guests were in the parlor she entered with a beaming smile and said:
"Do make yourselves at home, ladies. I'm at home myself, and I wish you all were."—Washington Star.
Said the Owl to the Quail.
A quail, being shot at by a hunter and narrowly escaping with her life, tremblingly took refuge in a thicket. From a tree overhead an owl looked down upon her sardonically. "You are very silly," he remarked, "to allow yourself to be hunted so when you have the means of defense ready at your hand. If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would speedily parish of starvation." The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," said she, "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently my duty, let others do as they may."—Farm and Flieside.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Lesson XI.—First Quarter, For March 15, 1914.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Luke xiii, 10-17; xiv, 1-6—Memory Verses, 3-5—Golden Text, Mark ii, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Both of the portions assigned for today are Sabbath day incidents. In the first He healed a woman in the synagogue who had been afflicted eighteen years, and in the second He healed a man who had the dropsy in the house of one of the chief Pharisees. The ruler of the synagogue was indignant because the woman had been healed 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. xll, 6-8, 12).
The late Dr. Weston of Crozier seniary 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, sln 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. 1v, 17; v. 4; xi. 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 xiii, 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 (II Peter iii, 9, 10). He delights in mercy and loving kindness, and judgment is His strange work (Jer. ix, 23, 24; Hos. vl, 6; Isa. xxviii, 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; ill, 10, 11, 21; Rom. vii, 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 whoseover will may take it (Rom. vi. 23; Rev. xxii. 17).
In our second portion He did not say, "Which of you shall see," but "Which of you shall have an ox or an ass 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. 1, 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?" (Iss. v. 4). It is still true, "This man receiveth sinners."
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.
Olly skins are often caused by indigestion. 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 lotions, 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 trugacanth, 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.

FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
How One North Dakota Man Gets
Greatest Return From Crops
Greatest Return From Crops.
A North Dakota realizes the maximum returns from his wheat and rye crops by converting these grains into flour which he sells at $3 a hundred pounds. In his locality it was practically impossible to obtain good rye, graham or whole wheat flour, so this farmer started growing and grinding his own grain. As he became proficient the quality of the flour improved until finally his neighbors were annually demanding his surplus at handsome prices. This keen demand for high quality flour increased until he decided that it would pay him to equip a small mill thoroughly and to embark in the business on a commercial scale.
A stream of considerable velocity flows through his farm and furnishes the power with which to operate his machinery. He equipped his miniature mill with a crusher, a grinder, a cleaner and an elevator. The income from his flour business during the first two years paid for his plaat and equipment and yielded him a good net profit. This miller eliminates all the charges that usually go to the middle man. He annually raises about eighty 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 it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food.
A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and 82 cents a bushel respectively where they are sold as cash crops. At a slight expense as regards time and labor this shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat and rye—that in the bulk are worth approximately $1.07 and $1.10 a hundred pounds—into excellent flour that sells for $3 a hundred pounds.
Yearly this progressive farmer is gaining an attractive income from his milling operations, since he'also grinds grain for his neighbors. This labor in nowise interferes'with his farm work, as the greater share of the mill work is done during the period when field work is relatively slack.-Country Gentleman.

when cared for in this manner. A box

Screw harness books will make good
hangers. A little box may be attached
to the inside of the door for holding
combs, brush, etc.
Plowing In Winter.
There is a diversity of opinion as to the advisability of plowing in winter. It is generally conceded, however, that soil hands should be plowed in the winter season. The freezing and thawing of the soil put it in much better condition than it can be put by the plow and harrow after the spring has opened. Winter plowing also destroys many insects that would damage crops if they were allowed to live. There will be much more moisture laid up in the soil and saved for the use of the growing crop the next year if the plowing is done during the winter season than there would be if it were left until spring. The capillary connection with the subsoll will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early.

Unfamiliar Catacombs.
Italy contains numerous unknown catacombs. Aside from the miles of unexplored passages in Rome there are other great subterranean regions in southern Italy, through which the foot of man has not trod for centuries. These do not include the Etrurian burial vaults. The catacombs of St. John at Syracuse are among the most elaborate in existence. They were of pagan origin and passed to the Christians. There are to be seen large streets and passages, the last containing sepulchral chambers originally closed by locked doors, the hinges of which are still to be seen. At Taormina there is a Saracen catacomb, while near Palermo are seen the catacombs of the Capuchins.

I, therefore, feel in justice to you and a duty to my neighbors and myself to express to you my highest appreciation of your timely aid when, in years past, he was sick and in need and for your prompt support in his death when I needed it most.
Again, gentlemen, I most sincerely thank the Guaranty for standing by me to the end of his earthly life, and cheerfully commend your great Company to any persons who may desire some insurance in an honest organization that will give a square deal.
Very truly,
(Signed) Mrs. Phillis Hendricks.
