The Savannah Tribune J VOLUME XXIX 一 Rev. Reid Goes to Anniston Ala. A FEW FACTS CONCERNING HIS WORK HERE Will Preach Farewell Sermon Tuesday Night—One of Most Successful Pastors in the City The Rev. D. Augustine Reid, who leaves the pastorate of the Second Baptist church, in this city, after a stay of about three and a half years, has had a success to come to him, which few ministers have in so short a time. Upon 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 as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are in Rome. For I am 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 church, various notes in banks and many bills unsettled. In addition he found he found a scattered membership, due in a large measure to the absence for a long time of a regular pastor of the church. One of the first steps of the pastor was to systematize the church's indebtedness. Through his advice, the church secured a large loan covering all indebtedness and thus was enabled to 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. The renovation work of the entire edifice was completed 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 revival 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 officers and members, a little over nineteen thousand ($19,000) dollars for current and other expenses. The church has spent for the general renovation in addition to paying off the old mortgage about ten thousand ($10,000) dollars. For charity, education, Home and Foreign Mission, one thousand six hundred and twenty five ($1625) dollars have been expended. There have been added to the church nearly five hundred (500) members. He has in addition to the preaching of an average of three sermons weekly, performed twenty one (21) marriage ceremonies and officiated at the funeral of 119 members. During his entire pastorate he has taken only one vacation. On Monday evening March 14 before a large audience, there was burned at the church the old $4000 mortgage. Dr. Reid has been active not only in his church work but in the work of the community 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 communicants of the church of which he was pastor but of the entire citizen body both white and black, to whom he was favarably and familiarly known —The following resolutions are evidences of Rev. Reid'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 deacons board held in the month of December 1913, the said resignation was read and its acceptance by the church was delayed until the first Monday in February 1914; and for the appreciation of the faithful service rendered while pastoring the Second Baptist church, we, therefore, as the members of Finance and others offer the following resolutions. The purpose of these resolutions is to give expression of 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, genial and 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 compel admiration, 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 decide, and should he go we hope for him a peaceful and prosperous administration in his new field of labor. May God be with him always and bless and guide him is our prayer. Signed. W. E. Searles A. H. Heyward John W. Chaney W. S. Roundfield J. W. Roberts Peter L. Bowen H. R. Rahn B. J. Houston Geo. L.

From the Church Whereas the pastorate of the Reverend D. Augustine Reid, D. D., of the Second Baptist church, Savannah, Ga., covering a period of three(3)years and five (5) months, and whereas during the entire time of his efficient and highly satisfactory term of office, the scattered and discouraged flock has been greatly benefited and brought together and received much spiritual help and encouragement because of his safe and sound leadership, as well as the debt consisting of a mortgage of four ($4,000.00) thousand dollars against the church property, having been paid; and whereas the membership has been greatly augmented and strengthened financially, spiritually and otherwise. Therefore, be it Resolved, that we, the officers and members of the Second Baptist church now assembled in our collective capacity, do hereby vote and desire the same to be recorded upon the minutes of our church books, and the same to be kept as a matter of record for future reference, that we greatly deplore the discontinuing of the able and consecrated services as preacher, pastor and leader of this divinely called man, the Rev.

NUMBER 27 Attempt to Rob Negro Bank Attempt to Rob Negro Bank WHITE MAN ARRESTED BY POLICE ON SUSPICION Book-keeper J. C. Ross is Wounded in Struggle With Highwayman in the Vault Atlanta, March 25—An unsuccessful attempt to rob the Atlanta State Savings Bank, 200 Auburn avenue, a Negro institution, was made here late today by a lone bandit. The police have arrested a white man giving his name as Ed. R. Rhynata, 30 years old, on suspicion of having attempted the hold-up. Rhynata, who is married and says he is an actor, denies any knowledge of the deed. J. C. Ross, 23 years old, Negro book-keeper in the bank, was the only officer of the institution in the bank rooms, the other officials and employees having left for the day, when he was confronted 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 "Get into the vault and get in there quick," was the bandit's command, according to Ross. Both men entered the vault, when the loan robber demanded that Ross open the doors of the safe containing the banks funds, which was locked. The bookkeeper refused, whereupon the bandit drew a piece of gas pipe about three feet long, striking Ross over the head and inflicting a severe scalp wound. The bookkeeper then grappled with the highwayman, finally 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 postoffie clerk, attempted to stop the robber, the latter drawing a revolver and firing wildly at Tate. Tate and others took up the pursuit of the fleeing man, who turned into Houston street, where he attempted to board a street car, the conductor forcing him off. The bandit drew his revolver and fired twice at the conductor, both shots going wild. The conductor replied with a revolver, but failed to hit the fleeing man. From Houston street the hunted 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 a few minutes later that he had seen an excited man go into a house at 30 Williams street. The police found Rhynata 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 covered a distance of twelve blocks before he jumped from the buggy and fled. Rhynata tonight was identified by Ross, the bookkeeper, as the man who confronted him, according to the police. The accused said his home was in Denver, Col., and that he had been in Atlanta about three months. The authorities said he told them that he had not been working for some time. The Atlanta State Savings Bank is rated as one of the strongest Negro institutions in the city.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Putty may be kept from becoming hard and worthless by storing it in a closed pail, can or jar. Klamath county, Ore., pays a bounty of 10 cents per scalp on jack rabbits, but even under this handicap the rabbits seem to multiply rapidly. Scurvy is a disorder of the human system brought about by eating too much animal food and not enough fruit and vegetables. Cure lies in a correction of the diet. If you notice the family cow eating manure or gnawing at old bones or leather boots, it is safe to assume that she is not getting all that she ought to in her ration. Increase her bran ration and give a little bonemeal. $ ^{o} $ There is little use in trying to hatch eggs from fat hens. In a majority of cases the chicks in such eggs will die before the process of incubation is half over, while those that do see the light rarely live more than a few days. The silo has not only come to be, as it were, the mark of successful dairy operations, but of most profitable beef production as well. Properly balanced, it is also being proved an excellent ration for breeding' and fattening sheep. Every orchard, whether large or small, should have some stands of bees. Their presence in the orchard at blossom time insures needed pollination, while the honey made is largely clear profit, as there is no charge for pasturage. 1 It always seems a pity when handsome shade trees are used for clothesline posts or fenceposts, with the result that staples, hooks and wire become deeply embedded in the trunks, making most unsightly scars. When it seems necessary to so use a tree a block should be used to which to fasten wires or lines. Sometimes there are practical difficulties in connection with game protection. This is shown in an interesting manner in the case of the Olympic herd of elk in Glallam county, Wash., which now numbers 4,000. The feed in the county is so short that it has become a serious problem how to feed the animals. The problems bids fair to become even more serious, as the elk are protected by law until 1920. Readers of these notes who have not learned it from their own experience will be interested in knowing that rats will raid a pot or pan of tulips or hyacinths and not only graw off the growing stalks, but dig out the bulbs and plug them off. The treatment of a group of Rubra maxima tulip bulbs in this fashion recently by the pesky rodents has not increased the writer's regard for the nasty pests. From this on he has vowed unending warfare on them. It will be worth while for hunters all over the country to remember that a federal law is now in force which makes illegal the spring shooting of migratory or interstate wild fowls. Any man who kills these birds under the terms of the hunter's license issued to him by the authorities of his own state does so at his own risk. A United States marshal doesn't care a rap whether or not the offender is a cousin, uncle or nephew of folks of standing in the community. The scientists of the department of agriculture have decided that "typhoid fly" is an appropriate as well as correct name for the common housefly. The designation "manure fly" has also been suggested as fitting because the fly breeds chiefly in piles of horse manure. In any case, if the average person keeps these two decidedly unpleasant facts in mind it should cause reviewed determination on his part to begin and continue an unceasing war of extermination on the miserable pests. The swatting should begin as soon as any of the tribe appear. A new plan for rewarding the boys and girls who win prizes in the competitive contests among members of the agricultural clubs in several states has been proposed by officials of the department of agriculture. Instead of being given trips to Washington it is suggested that such winners be given a year's course in practical training in some agricultural school, their idea being that such a course would have a more practical as well as lasting value. The department officials suggest as an alternative award the payment of a week's expenses to the winner's state fair. For county winners prizes of practical and educational worth are suggested as of far more value than specific cash awards. SOWING ALFALFA IN SPRING. The question of whether to make the start with the patch of alfalfa in spring or late summer is likely to depend upon the moisture conditions, which are most likely to prevail immediately following seeding. Where conditions seem to warrant the spring sowing the seed should be sowed as soon as the soil can be put in good condition after the frost is out of the ground. If the soil is not in a good condition of fertility it should be well manured and then plowed to a medium depth. It should then be harrowed so as to make a fine and mellow seed bed. While it is not absolutely necessary, it aids in getting a stand of alfalfa if the field is inoculated with soil from an established alfalfa field or a spot where sweet clover has grown. Such soil may be scattered thinly from a manure spreader or mixed in a couple of layers with the manure. While the practice of sowing a nurse crop is commonly followed with red clover, it is best not to do so with alfalfa, as the rapidly growing grain smothers the young alfalfa plants, which have little or no chance if dry weather comes immediately following the harvest of the grain. The piece of ground to be used should be well drained, should be sweetened with lime, if it is inclined to be sour, and should be as free as possible from weed seeds. The alfalfa seed should be drilled in to a depth of about an inch and a half and at the rate of from fifteen to twenty pounds per acre. Where the August sowing is preferred (and it is in many sections) the ground selected for it should be sown with an early maturing small grain crop, and as soon as this is off the ground the tract should be plowed and disked at frequent intervals until about the middle of August. If the soil is not rich the manuring should be given as in the case of the spring sowing, also the same inoculation and method of seeding. Where fields of alfalfa in their second year will yield five tons of the finest hay per year in even northern sections, the question of getting a start with the crop is one that should interest a good many more farmers. It is usually best to start with a few acres and get familiar with its culture. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. Farmers who are interested in raising dual purpose cattle which will not only make a creditable showing in milk return, but on the block as beef, will be interested in an experiment which is being conducted at North Oaks, Minn., through the co-operation of James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, and Professor Thomas Shaw, the well known live stock authority. Last year Mr. Hill purchased in England some of the most perfect representatives of the dual purpose milking Shorthorn. The importation includes twenty-three head of cows, ranging in age from two to six years, and three bulls. The cows have ill records running from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds each year, while the cows have been noted prize winners in English shows. With many others who sense the meaning of a decreasing beef supply and also that dairy the beef means by which soil fertility may be maintained, Mr. Hill is financing the above experiment for the purpose of solving the twofold problem. The results will be noted with a good deal of interest not only by stock raisers, but by many others who are interested in the future prosperity of the country. GROWING SWEET PEAS. Sweet peas have as few insect enemies as any of the common garden flowers and from the standpoint of both beauty of bloom and fragrance give a wonderfully large return for the paints taken in raising them. The small amount extra needed to purchase the very best quality of seed is returned many fold in the larger and hand-somer blossoms. The seed should be soaked in tepid water for about twenty-four hours before being planted. The soil for the row should be rich and mellow and located where nearby soil will not absorb the moisture needed for the peas when the drier weather comes on. The seed should be planted at the bottom of a trench five or six inches deep and covered with a couple of inches of mellow soil. As soon as they have come through this and have made a growth of a couple of inches the rest of the soil should be added to fill the trench. Sweet peas will make the best growth and give the best results if they are kept free from weeds and given frequent hoeing. The trellis on which the peas are to grow should be put in place early so that they will have something to cling to as soon as the tendrils begin to reach for a support. BEEF SHORTAGE FIGURES. The seriousness of the situation in regard to the shortage of beef is appreciated not only in the advancing prices for cuts of meat on the local market, but in figures which have been compiled on the beef industry of the country. The per capita consumption of meat has dropped from 162 pounds in 1909 to 152 pounds in 1913, or ten pounds in four years. In the past six years, from 1907 to 1913, the number of beef cattle in the country has dropped from 51,560,000 head to 30,030,000 head. Based on figures gathered in plants where there is federal inspection, there has been a falling off in the number of animals killed of 1,419,000 cattle, or 750,000,000 pounds of beef, in the interval from 1910 to 1913.

Casualties Expected. During one of Cannon's bitter political fights in his district in Illinois the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from positions they held in the public service. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly: "Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost their positions in the postoffice. What are we going to do about it?"¹ Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a benevolent smile: "Nothing. If you go into battle, you have got to expect to have some dead and wounded." Paradoxical Effort. "That detective did a queer thing when he chased the fugitive to Europe." . "What was that?"

He says, "If you cut harp strings small and sprinkle them on hot flesh the heat will twist them, and they will move like worms." Tender Steak. A noted New York architect said of a recent criticism of skyscrapers: "This criticism is not fair. It is prejudiced. Hence it will do more harm than good, like the remark of the waiter.

Dr. Johnson's ignorance of derivations led him to absurdities of spelling that were admitted even by Boswell. Dr. Johnson's methods in tracing etymologies were of the simplest. "This is a great work, sir." said Dr. Adams to him. "How are you to get all the etymologies?" "Why, sir," replied Johnson, "here is a shelf with Junius and Skinner and others, and there is a Welsh gentleman who has published a collection of Welsh proverbs who will help me with the Welsh." And so the famous dictionary was written, with little assistance from the learned, as the dictionary maker himself complained. That little came from a man who sent him a list of thirty derivations.

"Grandma said she would pay you when she came in tomorrow."—New York Globe. Self Disgraced In Boston, as every one knows, the symphony concerts are viewed in the light of sacred ceremonials. In this connection the story is told of two little girls of a certain family who returned from the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn, the other an air of great dejection. "What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?" "The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself." "Disgraced herself?" "Yes, she sneezed in the middle of the symphony."-Philadelphia Ledger. For the Boy's Sake "I want my son to enjoy his boyhood, because he will be a child, only once." "That's all well enough, but there's no use in making oneself a slave to one's children." "I don't make myself a slave to my children. I find my greatest enjoyment in giving them pleasure." "Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked, you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?" "Sh-shi. I don't want him to overhear. I know he'd be sorry if he spent the money to see that show. I was there myself this afternoon."—Chicago, Racord-Harald.

Da fortune teller say dat if I go to door today I see my future husband." "What nonsense! Why, here's the man's card! Goodness, it was our minister!" "Vell, I'm glad I don't go. He ain't my style."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Answering the Phone. Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone. Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs, with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call. Canadian "Alligators." The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occasionally see what is to him a very remarkable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, apparently just as much at home as in its natural element. These boats are known as "alligators," and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then huled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power. Musical. "I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he a swell singer?" answered Mrs. Newrich.-Columbia Jester. THE HEROIC SPIRIT. In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The littleness of the events and the instruments we are dealing with are forever cheating out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so.

Making It Last A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it. when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall!

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- ```markdown ``` SPRAYING TREES FROM THE ROADWAY. ing ought to be able to distinguish the different kinds of enemies found on the trees in winter. He ought to buy a good pocket lens, costing about 75 cents, and carefully study all the 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. 31 Die auhed Tr urse. 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. THE PALM SHAVING PALACE Expert! In Cutting, Electric Massage and Shampooing a Specialty.

Advertising rates given on application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday, March 28, 1914. The Tribune together with the rest of the people of Savannah feel most keenly the loss of Rev. D. Augustine Reid, late pastor of the Second Baptist church, who leaves during next-week for another field of labor. Since coming to us some three or four years ago, Rev. Reid has been an unusually potent factor in both the religious and economic life of our community. Dignified and gentlemanly in his bearing, Christ-like in his nature, intelligent and progressive in every way, he has moved about and among us doing good by giving inspiration and encouragement wherever they were needed, as well as intelligent direction to all matters with which he was connected either officially or otherwise. We have no hesitancy in saying that it is Savannah's great loss to be unable to claim further the presence and services of Rev. Reid. He will surely be missed. The Old Folks Home, of which he was the leading spirit, the Urban League, the Business League and the various other civic and religious institutions with which he was connected will find it hard to fill his place. But, as our gain was Philadelphia's loss, likewise will our loss be Anniston's gain. In leaving us, it would be a pleasure to us to know that the good reverend is leaving with a consciousness 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 of endeavor and that the success which he so justly merits will be his in the new field as it has been in the past. No one, with a scintilla of race pride can fail to feel both optimistic 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 but upon the community as well. With the completion 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 surely moving forward. In noting the continued progress of our people in the community, we cannot help but take cognizance of the friendly relation between the races, which, in a large measure, has aided our people in their struggle for economic advancement. As has often been said, there is no city in the entire country in which the feeling of friendliness and cooperation between the races is more manifest than in Savannah. Here unlike many other places, the Negro is absolutely secure in all of his premises, whether they be home, school or church. Here we have excellent opportunity to develop into noble stature of American manhood. Friends of the race are many here. Much cooperative endeavor on the part of our white citizens is turned our way. Giving us a square deal is rather the rule than the exception. This is as it should be and meets the approval of all believers in fair play to all regardless as to color. To those of our people who are pushing forward we doff our caps, with the hope that others may follow their good example of increasing or augmenting the economic and financial wealth of the community. As He Saw It. "What's most liable to get broke about your automobile?" "The owner," replied Chuggins. "Livingstone Lance." Among the Masons "Be broad minded, charitable and full of business for the interest of Masonry. Devote your time to good deeds and not to grumbling and kicking." That Freemasonry is worth being handed down to other generations was recently illustrated in the case of an entered apprentice, who received at the hands of his father, the Worshipful Master of his Lodge, the degree, while his grandfather, a Past Master, presented him with an apron—Square and Compasses. REMEMBER THY CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH How many of us take in this beautiful picture of human life, as given by the wise man? In youth and young manhood, we are led astray by the follies of life. We do not realize that we are mortal. We forget the time will surely come when the "clouds will return after the rain;" that the hands that keep the house will tremble, and that the once strong, erect man will be bowed 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 responsibility 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 Master could feel that responsibility is his when seated in the East. A dozen members may neglect their duty or go wrong without apparent effect, but let one 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 control his lodge. A Master should be dilligent in drawing designs on life's trestleboard, that the craft may labor with pleasure and profit. Much depends on the Master. Let no man lightly assume the office of master. The office will not honor him, he must so live and as to honor the office. Masonry has no organized system benefits and relief. The aid ordered to the sick and unfortunate is not a matter of contract in Freemasonry but is entirely charitable, and no assessment or dues are imposed or collected for this specific purpose. When a Freemason or one dependent upon him is needy and friendless, and a Mason or Masonic Lodge assists him, it is done without any assurance of reimbursement by the lodge to which the needy person belongs."—Masonic Tidings. Rotation in office does not exist in German Masonry. The best man is selected to preside over the lodge and is kept at his post long as he properly performs the duties of his station, or becomes decapit. Hence German Masonry occupies an exalted place in the social scale.—Square and Compasses. Lodges, as well as men, are often tempted to live beyond their means. Extravagance in Lodges is as ruinous as extravagance in individuals. A $500 Lodge has no business in a $5,000 home.—N. X. Masonic Standard. GUARDED BY MASONIC PINS. Men who are members of secret societies do not always wear the emblems of these orders, it is no uncommon thing at the union depot to see young women and children who are "Masons," "Elks," or "Odd Fellows." Not that they really are affiliated with these orders, but that the various emblematic 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. She was journeying alone from California to a distant Eastern point. A man who recognized the fact that some member of her family was a Mason learned of her misfortune. There was not much ceremony, but in less than five minutes a new ticket had been bought and paid for and the girl placed safely aboard the train on which she was to continue her journey. · Yesterday a small boy who also was a "Mason" had no difficulty in finding friends at the depot. He wore a pin which belonged to his father and, although the latter was many miles away. there was parental care ever present. Kansas City Journal. With a good many men Masonry is nothing but a sort of 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 it is all done with the thought that at some time Masonry will be of service to them and they will get back all it has cost them in money. The writer sat in lodge one night, by the side of a man who was in good circumstances in life. When the hat was passed to raise some money for the relief of an indigent brother, he very grudgingly dropped in a nickle. When told that he ought to have done better, he replied, "saying that he wasn't particularly interested in the work of the lodge." Two years after, the same brother became sick and asked the lodge for a nurse. An investigation showed that he was worth over $10,000 in property. When his request was refused he became exceedingly wroth, declaring that he would take a dimit, which he did much to the satisfaction of the members of his lodge. His Masonic fire escape proved of no avail.—Illinois Freemason. The Grand Orator of British Columbia well says: "What a wealth of affection there is conjured 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 sympathy for the brother in his time of sorrow and bitter trial: the encouraging 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 convince any mason who is not dead to all his obligations that Masonry has some higher and nobler mission 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 performed, some act of charity done for charity's sake are but the memories of wasted hours of vain pretensions, of solemn promises broken, or duties neglected.—Frederick Spee The brethren of the Jurisdiction will regret to hear of the death of Past Master R. L. Newsome of Bannaker Lodge, Augusta. Bro. Newsome was one of the oldest Masons in the state and a surviving organizer of the Grand Lodge He was one of the organizer of Bannaker Lodge, Cards of Thanks I wish to thank all friends for kindness and sympathy shown at the death of my father, Mr. Geo.

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.

ORA'S (TRADE MARK) PRICG COMPLET $2.00 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.

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. HAIR!

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. INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused When he misses his train.

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. What makes the life escape look so fair. What blesses us with perfume the air.

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. A Handy Harness Box. The next time a new set of harness is bought take a box and fit it with doors so that it may be closed tight. Hang the harness in this when it is not in use. It is a surprise how long it will look neat and stay in good shape ```markdown ``` when cared for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. 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. The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish.

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 per cent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the mere addition of 300 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover patch brought success. After inoculation the soil produced a fine growth of alfalfa. In other sections of the state, particularly in the south-central, the application of from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds of lime per acre brought success when various other trials without lime failed. Perhaps the most important thing in securing a stand of alfalfa is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased AN IOWA ALFALFA FIELD. the yield of alfalfa notably. On all soils below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield. In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest priced seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, it should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average soil covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is a good plan to set the drill so as to sow only about ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice—for example, crossing the field north and south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa best suited to lawn conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the harder 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 cuttling, but reports from those men in Iowa who have the largest acreages 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 4ft stacked the same day. It is important that as few of the leaves as possible be lost. In order to save the leaves many growers rake the alfalfa into windrows as soon as it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake as soon as dry enough to stack and haul it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cocking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large acreages. Where one has much alfalfa hay to cure a side delivery rake will be found to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked it is cut late in the afternoon or the morning. raked before dinner and put in cocks in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers assures one of little difficulty in curing even the first cutting and produces a hay of very excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of an egg is too little understood. Dampness, heat above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts, delay in marketing, are factors which very quickly destroy freshness and good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees. See that the grass is pulled away from the base of small trees. Better put wire protectors about them so mice or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter. They Are to Be Very Popular For Spring Wear. C NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown hero is a Poiret creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked serge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring, models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapis lazull, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here. At present the lavish display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of $ \textcircled{1} $ SPRING NECKWEAR. the midwinter season and the introduction of many new novelties. Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, quaintly 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 ```markdown ``` No reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods. These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcoming 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 live or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, for it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The-cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, acid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreisler's "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church. 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.

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