VOLUME XXIX 7 Year Old Boy Kills 6 Year Old Chum WERE PLAYING WITH A SINGLE BARRELED SHOT GUN Toq of Boy's Head Entirely Torn Away—Were in a Room Abone Boy an Only Child—Former School Hates Attend Funeral in a Body And Six of them act as Pall-bearers At the Funeral—A beautiful Floral Design Given by His Mates Ormenzell Alston, 6 years of age, was shot and instantly killed by a playmate, Robert Green, at the home of the latter, No. 1204 McCarthy street, on last Saturday night. The Alston boy had gone to the home of his god-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Green, to spend the day. Shortly after dark the Alston boy went over to the Green boy's house and the two were alone in a room and began playing with a single barreled shot gun which was in the room. In some way the gun went off in the hands of the Green boy, and the load struck the top of Alston's head tearing it away completely. On account of the age of the boy he was not arrested and it was the decision of the coroner that the killing was accidental. The funeral of the Alston boy was held from the home of his parents on Monday afternoon and was attended by lite dead boy's former schoolmates in a body, who gave a beautiful floral design. Six of the little schoolmates acted as pall-bearers. The dead boy was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Ossian Alston. 517 west Thirty-fourth street, and was a bright little fellow, being a member of Mrs. E. R. Dennis' school. The parents of the Green boy, in whose hands the gun was accidently discharged, are very much grieved over the currence.

Caton Woodville, the English war artist, painted a large equestrian portrait of the Emperor Frederick of Germany in the handsome white uniform of the Imperial guards, with the magnificent golden helmet crowned by the silver eagle. In his "Random Recollections," Woodville says: "It was a and task. I painted the portrait shortly after the emperor's death, and the empress was very particular about the color and shape of his eyes. She wore a bracelet with a miniature of one of his eyes painted on ivory in a medallion upon it. She stood beside me for hours holding the bracelet so that I could see it in the best light and not miss any of the details." Suspicious Action= "I wish," said the head of the film, "you'd keep an eye on the office boy." "Very well, sir," replied the secretary. "Do you think he has been stealing postage stamps?" "I have no idea what he has been doing, but he's up to mischief of some kind. For three mornings now he has bad all my papers placed upon my desk just as they should be, with nothing, to indicate that he has been reading the sporting pages. There's something very suspicious about it."—Chicago Record-Herald. American Women's Wages: There are over 6,000,000 working women in the United States whose average salary is only $4 a week.

LATEST IMPROVEMENT TO OUR OFFICE A LINOTYPE MACHINE During the latter part of last week there was installed in our office the latest model double magazine linotype. For some time the work in our office has been such that we have needed a machine and in order that we might meet the demands of the public and also that we might be in position to give better service we found it necessary to get a machine. We are now better prepared to render the most efficient service to the public and to get work out in the shortest possible time. St. Thomas' P. E. Church Defies the Bishop The vestry of St. Thomas' P. E. church, the oldest Colored Episcopal church in America, openly defied Bishop Rhinelander of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, when, for the first time, Rev. William G. Avant took charge of the altar on Sunday night before a large congregation, who gave him a warm welcome. In assuming charge he has incurred the Bishop's displeasure, and so has been inhibited. The Bishop has secured Francis A. Lewis and George Wharton Pepper, the best legal talent in the city. This promises to be a case of interest to canonists of the Episcopal Church. St. Thomas' Church is an independent church hence their refusal to obey orders. When the vestry notified the Bishop of their decision, they told him they did not come there to seek advice only to notify him of their determination. Rev. Avant is from Newberne, N. C., where he was an archdeacon. The last rector was Rev. A. C. V. Cartier, one of the brainiest men in the connection. He resigned because the church was indebted to him 2.041.63.—Philadelphia Tribune. Immensities and Eternities.

LARGEST BASEBALL ATTENDANCE AGAIN THIS YEAR WILL CINCH IT Opening Schedule _Game Of _Season Will Be Played With Charleston On Next Thursday—Record Attendance Looked For—Other Games To Be Reported By Special Wire At Park Baseball fans will be at ease again on next Thursday when the first regular game of the South Atlantic League will be played at League park with the Charleston team. Indications are that attendance on opening day will even surpass that of last year, when the local quark draw the largest crowd in the circuit, and also won the silver loving cup presented by the Columbus Ledger for the largest attendance. In order to retain the cup a city must win it two years in succession, therefore Savannah is out strong for permanent possession of it and will have to duplicate the little trick of last year if she hopes to retain it, by drawing the largest crowd this year. The spring training games of the locals have shown them to be a strong aggregation and it would not be at all unlooked for if they repeat the accomplishments of last year's team by winning both halves of the season. On Monday the Providence team, which is training here, will play the Georgia Hussars. An added attraction of this game will be the recording of respective scores on the score board at the park. The league of course opens Monday with Savannah in Charleston, but the first game on the home grounds will be Thursday afternoon with Charleston. DR, F. S.

Newsome, Esq., on Monday of this week, Augusta loses one of her oldest citizens, and the Masonic fraternity of Georgia its oldest. Mr. Newsome had resided in Augusta for 54 years and was well known to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was an expert cabinet and picture frame maker and had been in the employ of some of Augusta's largest firms. In the days of Colored military, he was a leading member of the Douglas Infantry. In the Masons he was a leader and perhaps knew more of Masonry than any man in Augusta. His death is generally regretted and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family. He is survived by two sons, Messrs. Thos. B. and Richard V. Newsome. His funeral took place from St. Mary's church on Tuesday afternoon, Father S. A. E. Coleman, the rector, officiating—Georgia Baptist.

SOUTH ATLANTIC MEDICAL SOCIETY REORGANIZED On The day night of last week the South Atlantic Medical Society was reorganized at the office of Dr. H. M. Collier 240 President street, cast. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and was largely attended. Seeing the necessity of having an organization making the medical, dental and pharmaceutical men of the city and believing that they should be united, a call was made to them to meet and result, is the organization which was formed on last week. At this meeting Dr. George W. Smith was elected president. The society of course is the same as that organized about two years ago, with Dr. F. S. Belcher as president, but which on account of the laxity of interest on the part of the members it was allowed to disintegrate. As with the former, the present society is affiliated with the Georgia State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. The officers of the society are: Dr. George W. Smith, president; Dr. C. E. Brent, vice president; Dr. O. C. Clayborne, secretary; Dr. H. M. Collier, treasurer. The society meets the first Friday night in each month. Tomorrow night at S o'clock the Right Reverend F. F. Reese, Bishop of the Diocese, will preach and confirm a large class at St. Stephen's church. The music will be of a high class and the public is invited to be present. All seats free.

Ladies Social Circle Celebrate The Ladies Social Circle celebrated their seventh anniversary at Morse's hall on March 4th and a very enjoyable time was had by the large membership present. The occasion was one of the most pleasant in the history of the organization and indications are that the ensuing year will be one of unusual prosperity to the society. The installation of officers was carried out at the meeting by the Rev. J. Hamilton in a very impressive manner. The following are the officers: Mrs. Jane Broughton, president; Mrs. Rosa Fields, vice president; Mrs. Julia A. Ward, financial secretary; Mrs. Marie Lockley, recording secretary; Mrs. Anna Voss, treasurer; Mrs. Elsie A. Green, assistant treasurer; Mrs. M.

It measured twelve feet two inches from tip of tail to nose, six feet three inches in girth, fifteen inches across from ear to ear and possessed a seven inch skull, while the track made by the huge beast covered eleven inches in length. An idea of the size of this monster can be gained when it is known their average length is only about eight or nine feet."

Representatives Tell Burleson that Joseph Stewart Favors Negro Clerks Under Him. Washington, March 23.—Charging that he has been too friendly to the Negro railway mail clerks under him, and that, in addition, he is a hold-over Republican, Representatives Webb and Page of North Carolina to-day requested Postmaster General Burleson to dismiss from the service Second Assistant Postmaster-General Joseph Stewart. There is feeling against Stewart, especially among Southern Senators and Representatives, over reports that he has shown undue partiality to Negro employees under him. Democrats in Congress have been demanding the removal of Stewart since the advent of the Wilson Administration. The nomination of Robert H. Terpal Court here was reported favorone of the five Judges of the Municipal Court there was reported favorably from the Senate Judiciary Committee to-day in spite of threats of Senators Vardaman of Mississippi and Smith of Georgia to defeat his confirmation if possible.

ATLANTA PYTHIANS CELEBRATE Crowd Of 8000 Persons Gather At The Auditorium Atlanta, Ga., March 30th—The local order of Knights of Pythias celebrated the Pythian Priod yesterday and the demonstration was the largest in the history of the order in this city. The exercises held in the Auditorium in the morning and were attended by a crowd of 8,000 persons. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. P. W. Greatheart, of the A. M. E. Church. Papers were read by Mrs. S. J. Robinson and little Miss Alice Golbert, of the juveniles. Master Horatius Cotton, also of the juveniles, sang a solo. Prof E.B. Barco was master of ceremonies and D. G. G, H. L. Terrell chancellor commander of the day. The Uniform Ranks, as usual made the annual parade, headed by mounted policemen, through the principal street of the city and were joined at the Auditorium by the Lodges, Courts and Juveniles. Colonel B. W. Warren, of Americus, was present and made a short address. Isle of Hope School Closing After a successful term, the school at Isle of Hope, of which Professor F. C. Hunter is principal, held its closing exercises in the school building on last Tuesday evening. The program, which was of a high order, had a very interesting feature, a speaking contest with four prizes to be awarded the best deliverers. The first prize, a beautiful little doll, was won by little Miss Arthetta Wicks; the second by Miss Frances Butler, cup and saucer; the third a watch by little Nathaniel Frazier and the fourth, a fine jar of candy, by Miss Green. The singing and the instrumental numbers were very good. The exercises were witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. Among those present were Prof. Gadsden, Miss Nettle Houston, Miss Mattie Victory, Miss Annie Ranair, Mrs. M. Dozier, Mrs. M. Wicks, and Mrs. E. Frazier.

School Boys' League Assisted by Business Men DONATE PARAPHERNALIA TO THE FOUR TEAMS Thirty-three Of The Leading Negro Business Men Subscribe To The Cause—Everything Ready For The Opening Games On The 18th—Freddie Jones, Alonzo Deas and Jerry Nesbitt To Captain Teams—Catholic Boys To Select Leader Next Week The School Boys' Baseball League which was recently, organized under the auspices of the Local Branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, was given a very encouraging boost this week by many of the leading Negro business men of the city, when they subscribed to the fund which is being gotten up for the purpose of purchasing paraphernalia for the league. Thirty-three subscriptions in all were received to the fund from the business men and it is expected that by this time next week this number will be more than doubled, as the committee in charge of raising the money did not have time to call on as many as they desired. According to the official schedule, the league will open on the 18th with the West Broad Street School playing the Beach Institute and the East Broad Street School facing the Catholic School. Each school will play nine games, three with each opponent. All games will be played on the commons, except the final contest for the championship which will be pulled off at the ball park.

It is a common thing with smokers for their safety match boxes to give out on the striking side before all the matches are used up. If they will keep in mind just one thing this can always be averted. The safety striking part is very quick on trigger and needs only a slight contact instead, of a long scratch. Simply snap the end of the match quickly for about a quarter of an inch on the striking surface. In this way the outside may always be kept fresh and usable. The long scratch, of course, causes the match to ignite before contact ceases, and the surface is actually burnt up. Some safety matches will strike on a windowpan—Chicago Record-Herald THE ISSUE OF JUDGE, TEREELL To charges that he was disposed, to ignore the claims of the Negro to political recognition for the sake of party peace, President Wilson made a good and sufficient answer more than a month ago when he nominated Robert H. Terell for another term as Judge of the Municipal Court, District of Columbia. JudgeTerrell is a graduate of Harvard, a Republican in politics and the only Colored man in the country to hold a judicial position of this dignity. His nomination was endorsed Southern man, who is quoted as saying that he found him the best Judge on the Municipal bench of the District. This nomination, which went so far in recognition of the Colored man as to disregard party politics, has now been reported favorably to the Senate by the Judiciary Committee, but with dissent of the Southern members and the promise of a fight on the floor against confirmation under the leadership of Mr. Vardaman of Mississippi. Vardaman of Mississippi. It is believed that the nomination will be confirmed. But this is not the whole question. Is it to be conor largely also by Democratic votes? Is the attitude of Democracy in the Senate toward the Colored man to be be determined by the Vardamans, who would deny him all equality of opportunity?—New York World; Cooking Points About Ham. Baked ham keeps better than boiled ham, and what is left from the first meal may be served cold or form the ingredient in some other savory dish for a later day. Baked corned ham is a novelty. Soak the ham in water overnight. In the morning take a brush and scrub it and pare the bare side until meat and fat look red and white. Then use vinegar to wash it with. When it drums lay with the skin side down in a roasting pan. Make a thick paste of flour and water and cover the pared side with this. Mix together a half cupful of vinegar, a cupful of cold water, a tablespoonful each of molasses and onion juice. Pour this around the ham. Cover the pan closely and bake, allowing half an hour to each pound after the water becomes hot. Baste several times with the liquid in the pan. When done take out of the oven and scrape off the paste. Then instantly dust with cracker crumbs to stop the flow, of the juice. Then set back in the oven to brown. Orange Custard Pudding. To make this pudding take a quart of milk, allow it to heat over the fire, but not to boil. Put the lightly beaten yolks of five eggs and the whites of two and four ounces of sugar into it. Take from the fire and stir well, adding the well grated rind of an orange. Pour into a buttered pudding dish. Put this in a pan of boiling water in the oven and bake. Beat the whites of three eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar to a stiff froth and when the pudding is done and has been removed from the oven spread this froth over and return to the oven for two or three minutes to harden. Orange Sauce.—Take five tablespoonfuls of butter and rub them into a cupful of granulated sugar. Take a saucepan and put the sugar into it, adding a cupful of boiling water, the juice of two oranges, the juice of half a lemon and the whites of three eggs. Beat until it is foamy and then serve. Apple and Nut Meringue to prepare this dish wash, halve and core some baking apples. Place in a rattler deep baking dish, and into each half put a dot of butter, teaspoonful or more of sugar, depending upon the acidity of the apple, one-half cupful of water. Bake slowly. If apples are not good bakers stew covered on top of stove until tender, then place in the oven to brown slightly. Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, beat in one-half cupful of sugar, cover the apples and sprinkle over top broken nut meats and shredded coconut. Lightly brown in the oven. Gelery With Hollandaise. Boiled celery with hollandaise sauce can be made into a delicious entree and served as a separate course. The bunches should be washed as carefully as possible without separating the stalks. They are then tied to preserve their shape while boiling. Small, tender bunches require almost an hour's cooking. To serve split each bunch in half, which is a single portion, and serve with hollandaise sauce made from the water in which the celery has boiled, as this strengthens the vegetable flavor. A Pudding Economy. Sometimes the housewife has two or three scraps of different puddings left over. Take a fork and break and mix them well together, put them into a clean pie dish, make about a pint of custard, mix half of this with the cold pudding and pour the rest over the top. Bake in a slow oven. Cakemaking Hint. To bake a cake well and with very little trouble have two cake tins the same shape and size. Put the cake mixture into one tin and place the other over it so that the rims meet. The cake rises better, as the cooler air caused by opening the oven door is not allowed to penetrate. Baked Apples. When baking apples cut through the rind all round just a little way from the stem before putting the apples in the oven. The apples will keep their proper shape without bursting, and the cut part will not show when they are placed on the dish. Kippered Herring. After the herring are cleaned rinse in warm water, dry and put on tin or agate plate in hot oven fifteen minutes; then pour on a little melted butter, cover and leave in five minutes more. They should be served on pieces of toast. Worth Knowing. Beef suet is used not nearly as much as it might be. Doughnuts fried in it are not greasy like those fried in lard and are much nicer. Beefsteak fried in suet is also better than that fried in butter, the suet making a richer gravy. To Prevent Burning. When you are making a thick, soup or cooking any starchy food in a saucepan the best way to prevent its burning or boiling over is to bring it to the boll on the top of the stove, then cover and finish cooking in the oven. ```markdown ``` NEAT AFTERNOON GOWN. Pannler effects grow rapidly in favor. Already they have passed the fad stage and are no longer eccentric, but pretty and graceful. The long clinging ones are rather ignored. They have given place to the extremely puffy and more bunched ones. The pannler tunic is gracefully carried out on the afternoon gown of white net and plaited silk which is pictured here. Pearl heads were used in its decoration. The wide satin girdle was crossed by strands of the beads and finished in front with an ornament and tassel. Loops of the pearls also adorned the skirt. SPARKLING ORNAMENTS. Rhinestone letter on the Hands and the Hair. Bullii usually, in the form of rhines; the chief decorations on all hair ornaments. But the b have them are not the mode it it was in this form that were first used to give a finish to the coiffure. Now one sees rhinestones ornamenting the hinge top hairpins, the small barrettes, the base of the crowning headpiece (which is but a couple of D THE WATCH LORGNETTE inches wide instead (of bandeau size) and the decorations that hold guara feathers. One of the most striking features of the newest hair ornaments that rise upright, fountain-like, from the coifure is that they have an imitation of a precious or semiprecious gem, large as the oval of a pigeon's egg, near their base in the center. These are most effective, for they catch and reflect in a most delightful way the brilliancy from the fashing facets of the rhinestones. Some of these have sprays of uncurled ostrich feathers rising from them, but the majority have tendrils of aluminium with small rhinestones sparkling on them. Rhinestones are not confined to hair ornaments alone. There are rhinestone bracelets, dinner rings' and lace pins. Pearl necklaces should now be in three strands, graduated in size. Illustrated here is a lorgnette with a watch attachment which makes a modish and striking accessory to milady's toilet. The lorgnette is mounted in gold to match the tiny timepiece in the handle. 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. 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 milk records running from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds each year, while the bulls have been noted prize winners in English show. With many others who sense the meaning of a decreasing beef supply and also that dairy is the best 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 pains 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 handsomer 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 sod 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 boeing. 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 51,566,000 head to 36,030,000 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 780,000 pounds of beef, in the interval from 1910 to 1913.

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.

"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.

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 hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power.

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! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express. To Make Shaving Easier Lather the face well and wash off the lather.

AIR LINE RROAD OF THE SOUTH January 4, 1914 Leave Farm and Garden WINTER SPRAYING FOR TREES Dormant Spraying Is the Only Method 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, anthracnose, aphis, woolly aphis, codling moth, brown mite, red spider and powdery milwue. When you spray, spray thoroughly. Winter spraying is no exception to the rule, and the spray material should be put on with force enough to reach all the lurking enemies. Thorough spraying brings up the question of proper equipment. All the bark must be wetted. At least 100 pounds of pressure is necessary, and in some cases I have found 150 to 200 pounds of pressure giving the best results. It must be driven into the bark cracks and crevices. The man who is just beginning to take up the question of winter spray- THE FACE OF THE TREE HERITING 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 faking, scaling bark ought to be scraped away from the trunks. Let this work precede the spraying with lime-sulphur. All rubbish should be burned at once. This will expose all the hibernating pests so the spray will reach them easily. Every part of the tree ought to be bathed in the film of spray even to the tiniest twig. The best time for applying sprays to the pests mentioned is a short time before the buds show signs of swelling. Bordeaux 6-4-50 is the spray used most in late winter spraying, when the time-sulphur is deemed inadequate. It is very effective in dealing with anthracose 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 leafing 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 Manu Barnyard manure is indispensable as a fertilizer on thin and sandy land that is to be farmed. It supplies humus as well as nitrogen, and the effect of the humus is often more desirable than the increase of plant food, though both are surely needed if the land be thin. HAPPY THOUGHTS. Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity, bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts.—Ruskin. "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. Cadgertley!" "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. Get 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 maturely 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 wickested bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Paullac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. Off and On. "Save when you're young." The speaker, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was addressing a Y. M. C. A. meeting in Cleveland. "Save when you're young," repeated Mr. Rockefeller, with a smile. "The years will pass swiftly. Then when you find yourself well on you'll also find yourself well off." St. Peter's In Rome St. Peter's is certainly the most amazing church in the world. It is not beautiful—I am satisfied that no true artist would grant that—but after you have been all over Europe and have seen the various edifices of importance it still sticks in your mind as astounding—perhaps the most astounding of all—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty." Giving Happiness To make some nook of God's creation a little fruitfuler, better, more worthy of God, to make some human hearts a little wiser, manfuller, happier, more blessed, less accursed—it is a work for 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. Woman's World Miss Jane A. Delano, Distinguished Trained Nurse. MISS DELANG AND HER MEDAL. The Red Cross society, whose work for humanity has been so great, has enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It has established a town and country nursing service through whose instrumentality the dwellers in even isolated communities may be assured of proper care in times of illness. The object of this is to encourage the employment of visiting nurses in remote districts where it is difficult to obtain the services of a physician. It was through Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the national committee on nursing service, that this new department of the work was established. Because of the splendid efficiency to which she has brought the nursing work of the Red Cross the gold medal of merit has been awarded to Miss Delano by the president. In presenting her with the medal President Wilson sold: "It is due to Miss Delano's devoted and efficient labors that a splendid corps of over 4,000 of the best trained nurses in the country have been enrolled in the Red Cross for active service in time of war or disaster. Not only has this large corps been enrolled, but by means of 110 local committees a system has been established that enables the Red Cross to mobilize within a few hours' time anywhere in the country the number of nurses required for active service." Miss Delano is one of the most distinguished members of the nursing profession in America. She had established a high reputation before she joined the lied 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 funciful cases, a green leather bag or case containing red or rose colored fittings, while a yellow bag will have every item in blue enamel or in silver gilt. Many and varied are these dainty trifles and devices featuring a season of nuance luxury and elegance. TRY TO BE CHEERFUL 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 Gooust. The republic of Gonst 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 care 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 Gonst to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being sled downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Barra Just as the family was about to all down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side. Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate"—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it 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. "I'll take some milk biscuit and a glass of milk," said the second. glass of milk. said the second. "Tea buns and a cup of tea, please," remarked the third. "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. 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 Plecendilly. 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 Agonisten.'"—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 gl 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 Bias. We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

For some little time, we have cherished as one of our choicest quotation the saying, "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good." To it, we have attributed in a large measure the spirit of optimism within us. Even at times when the way seemed impassable and friends all around us have appeared dejected, we have hoped and prayed believing in the meantime that in some way and by means of divine intervention, some good will come out of existing evil. Such is our feeling today as we scan the sayings and doings of our national law makers and note the cyclonic evolutions of the Mississippi senator in regard to the Negro question. His recent speech in the senate in which he implied that all Negro votes are purchasable, hits so far from the truth that it has brought to our open defense, new friends and sympathizers. Be it as it may, Senator Vardaman will no doubt awake some late day to find that after all the race which he apparently is so bent on discrediting and destroying, very much in evidence both as to members as well as friends. The recent suggestion purported to have come from one Clarence Poe of the Progressive Farmer, to exclude Negroes from land ownership in any district where a majority vote could be polled against them is indeed the reaching of the high water mark of racial prejudice and narrowness. To note that North Carolina, the State in which lynching is hardly known; the State which has made it possible for there to be built up within her the largest Negro Insurance Company in the world, the State in which the friendly relation between the races has been marked, comes as a distinct surprise to us. We cannot for the life of us see how North Carolina would tolerate such a law. We do not believe that she will. If we are to stick to the farm as we have been advised to do, then we must be encouraged to know that it is within our province to own at least a part if not all of the land which we till. The people of North Carolina, both white and black are now progressing nicely. May the present peace and tranquility be not disturbed by some notoriety seeker. Spring is herel What joyful news this is! Following as it were, in the wake of one of the severest and most devastating winters known to the inhabitants of this section, the long looked for season of humming birds and blooming flowers comes to us with greater significance than ever before. What a contrast between the present weather and that of a few days ago! But yesterday, seemingly and we were wrapped in our furs and big coats. Today, the sweet balmy sunshine with which the season is possessed invites us to outdoor life and recreation. How blessed indeed is one who, possessed of soundness of both body and mind, can seek at this time the haunts of nature and there commune with her in her domicile. And too, there comes with this most welcomed season, a corresponding decrease in the demand for the necessities of life. The wood and coal bill becomes lighter. Other heavy expenses are cut. Thus an opportunity presents itself to the frugally inclined, "to lay by" for the next hard and expensive season which will present itself to us. This to us seems to be the wise thing to do, for, just as surely as the sun shines, there will be other seasons of severity and hardships when the cost of living will be at its height. A few dimes hoarded now and then and placed in some safe financial repository where it may draw interest, will go a long way indeed toward lessening privations and sufferings whenever the hard days of the cold season comes. Now, is always the time to start a savings' account. Procrastination gets in its work more effectively in matters pertaining to one's finances than in almost anything else. Putting off till "tomorrow" to begin to save, creates a habit which is indeed hard to down when there is a strong desire to do something which does not admit of delay. Our advice to our people then is, not to wait until next winter to begin to save for coming hardships, but to begin now. "Let us cut our cloth to our measure" by not throwing away our hard earned money in the over indulgence on our part in the many and unnecessary frivolities with which the spring and summer season are infested. Mr. C. Thad Toomer Surprised Mr. C. Thad Toomer was very pleasantly surprised on last Monday night by the members of the Fox Club of which he is secretary. The occasion was brought about on account of him preparing to leave the city to take up his residence at Columbia, S. C. He left on Tuesday morning. Mr. Toomer was very popular with the members of the club and they regret very much his leaving. They presented him with an elegant suit case embossed with the club's design. Mr. C. M. Brinson with appropriate remarks made the presentation. Several other short talks were given and as is usually with The Fox an enjoyable time was had. President Steve Jenkins, Messrs. Gus Coleman, T.

Social Happenings On Wednesday evening of last week a most enjoyable entertainment was given by the Red Rose Sewing Circle at the home of the president, Mrs. W. O. Castleberry in honor of Miss Emma Walker of New York City. Miss Walker, while in the city, was the guest of Mrs. Florence Gordon. The Fox Club was also entertained, and they presented Miss Walker with a fine gold head parasol. The evening was spent in playing whist and other games of amusement. Several selections were rendered on the piano by Mrs. Sadie Sanders also a solo was sang and a recitation given by two of the gentlemen guests. A very good and wholesome talk was given by Mr. Stephen Jenkins, president of the Fox, in presenting the gift to the guest of honor. The menu was served in four courses, and a most enjoyable time was had by all present. On Wednesday afternoon, of last week, from 5 to 7 o'clock, a delightful birthday party was given by Mrs. Maggie Sanders in honor of her granddaughter, Eloise Benjamin, which was largely attended. The guests were entertained with games of amusement and the presents received were numerous. Light refreshments were served in courses by Mesdames E. Furgeson, L. Davis and E. J. Rivers. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Turner, 509 Hall street east, a card party was given in honor of Mrs. Margurite Bradly of Philadelphia. Music was rendered by Middleton's Orchestra.

Among the forgotten dishes of the past was the "black broth of Lacedemon." "What the ingredients of this sable composition were," says a writer, "we cannot exactly ascertain. Dr. Lister (in 'Apicius') suggests it to have been hog's blood. * * * It could not be a very alluring mess, since a citizen of Sybaris, having tasted it, declared it was no longer a matter of astonishment with him why the Spartans were so fearless of death, since any one in his senses would much rather die than exist on such execrable food." 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 vendor 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 banging 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 of ashes 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 seats, 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. ```markdown ``` LADIES, LEARN TO GROW HAIR!

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 shovelling 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 Frolies. 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 bat 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—Chengo 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 Lone 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.

Text of the Lesson, Luke xiv, 7-24. Memory Versae, 13, 14-Golden Text, Luke xiv, 11-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Staarna. As He ate bread in the house of one of the chief. Pharisees on the Sabbath day. He not only healed a man who had the dropy (xiv, 1-6), but He had a special message for the guests and then for the host and later for one of the guests who had made an interesting remark. Oh, how He did live before God and seek the souls of men, fearing no one's frown and desiring no one's favor. To the guests He taught humility, for then as now there was often a desire for the best place that could be obtained. Humility is a rare virtue, and few there seem to be who in lowliness of mind esteem others better than themselves (Phil. ii, 3). There was only one who was perfect in humility and lowliness, the speaker on this occasion, and He could truly say, "I am meek and lowly in heart" (Matt. xi, 20). Exalting self is like antichrist (Dan. xi, 30; II Tessh, ii, 4; Rev. xii, 5, 6), but renouncing self is Christlike, for He made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant (Phil. ii, 7, 8). See also verse 11 of our lesson. His message to His host was in reference to a future rather than a present recompense. How common it is to be kind to those who can return the kindness, to invite those to enjoy our hospitality who can return the invitation. How much of social life is filled up in this way? This may seem all right for those who know no better way. But when in church work, supposed to be the Lord's work, people net as if money could be obtained only by giving a present equivalent in the form of a lecture or an entertainment or something to eat, does it not all seem contrary to our Lord's admonition to this host? My own intense conviction is that giving or living only for a present equivalent is all wrong, and I have proved in a ministry of over thirty years that the love of Christ and the need of those who never heard of it will constrain people to give freely to help make Him known and gladly await the recompense in His kingdom in connection with the resurrection of the just. It does not appear from the Scriptures that believers are rewarded at death, though it is a common saying that he or she has gone to his or her reward. The truth concerning the dead in Christ is that they rest from their labors and their works do follow them, but rewards are promised only at His coming again (Rev. xiv, 13; xxll, 12; I Pet. v, 4). Here is a plain reference in verse 14 of our lesson to the difference between the resurrection of the just and the unjust. That there shall be both is written in Acts xxiv, 15, but that there shall be a thousand years between them is just as plainly written in Rev. xx, 5, 6. The hour of John v, 28, does not conflict with this, for the hour of John v, 25, has already lasted nearly 1,000 years, and that of verses 25, 29, may easily cover the two resurrections at the beginning and end of the thousand years. His mention of the resurrection of the just seems to have led one of the guests to remark, "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God" (verse 15), which he evidently associated with the resurrection. This led our Lord to speak of the great supper and of the way the invitations were treated and of the excuses which men will make rather than accept the invitation. He seems to reply to the remark of the guest that men are more interested in property and in earthly enjoyments than in the things of the kingdom. The things unseen and eternal are so unreal to most people that things seen and temporal hold all their attention. Contrast the way of the believers in II Cor. iv. 17, 18. The redemption which leads to the kingdom is described as a great supper fully prepared, and the invited ones have only to come and enjoy it. It is probable that the invitations of this chief of the Pharisees, in whose house they were, had all been accepted eagerly, but the invitations of which our Lord spoke were treated far otherwise. The great salvation has been fully prepared by the life and death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, nothing can be added to it; but, oh, the cost of all it to the Father who gave His only Son and to the Son who gave Himself! All and all is offered freely, for "the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." "We are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Rom. vl. 23, R. V. ill. 24) How often we hear Him say, "Come" from Gen. vl. 1 to Rev. xxii. 17, notably in Isa. l. 18; Matt. xl. 28, and how frivolous are men's excuses when contended with the importance of the salvation offered them and the glory of his kingdom. I have board of one man who was led to accept the great invitation by the remark, "There will be no excuses at the end of God." Meantime, the devil, the end of this world, is busily blinding the minds of them which believe not in the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should line unto them (II Cor. 19.3). For the word stands "Whose ever with him take the water of life freely." INSURANCE GEOGRA When is a man most confused When he misaes his train. When are the people most un safe?

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

You'll find them active and up and doing with the barometer high; gloomy and irritable with the barometer low.-Boston Post. 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 sarciically. "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 pray on the wheat and the corn man would speedily perish of starvation." The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," said she, "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently my duty, let others do as they may."—Barn and Breeds. A QUERY ABOUT ONIONS. A QUERY ABOUT ONIONS. A reader makes inquiry as to the matter of raising onions. The land intended for the patch should be as free as possible from weed seeds, and it is better if it was plowed last fall. Onions are heavy feeders on soil fertility and for this reason the land on which they are to be grown should be rich. As soon as the frost is out the land should be given a shallow plowing or thorough disking and then harrowed and floated. The seeder should be regulated so as to put the rows about sixteen inches apart, while the seed gauge should be set so as to sow the seed from an inch to and an inch and a half apart. Before deciding how thick to sow the seed it is well to test its germinating power. In his own experience the writer has found it more satisfactory to sow the seed a bit too thick and thin when the plants were three or four inches high, than to sow sparingly and have from half to two-thirds of a stand, for it takes just as much time to cultivate a part of a crop as a full crop. One should start the cultivation as soon as the silk green rows can be seen, and this should be kept up at frequent intervals and particularly following heavy rains, and with soil that is likely to pack and bake. Where the soil is none too rich it may be well to apply fertilizers. For this purpose a mixture of 25 pounds of tankage, 860 of bone meal and 325 pounds of murrate of potash has been found to give very satisfactory results. This should be supplied with the drill close to the seed rows. Some onion growers give a second application when the plants are about six inches high, the fertilizer being scattered close to the rows. In deciding what varieties to grow, one should be guided by the preference prevailing in the markets one would be most likely to ship to. One of the most popular varieties is the Red Globe, and it not only fetches a good price, but is a good keeper and is prized by the housewives who use them. For the northern portions of the country, where there is danger of early September frosts, every effort should be made to get the seed in as soon as the condition of the soil will permit so as to insure early ripening. A dollar or two, more or less, in the initial cost of the seed is a small matter in a crop that will gross between $200 and $300. Hence none but the best seed should be used. If it is good and has strong germinating power three pounds will be ample to sow an acre of land: CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS The Kansas experiment station has been carrying on some experiments during the past three years along the line of the care of brood sows that should be of definite practical value to hog raisers everywhere. In 1911 from thirty-three of the station sows litters averaging 7.6 per sow were raised. The next year twelve Duroc-Jersey sows weaned ninety-six plugs. Last year an equally good showing was made from a still larger number of sows. The care of the litters was started when the sows were bred. The mothers were forced to take a moderate amount of exercise every day during the period of gestation. The feeds given during the period included corn, shorts, wheat bran, tankage, oilmeal and alfalfa hay. For the early portion of the period the ration consisted of a little corn, some shorts and tankage and all the alfalfa hay the sows would eat. Bran and oilmeal were added the last few weeks. The aim in feeding was to bring to the sows to farrowing time in a laxative condition and in good thrift and medium flesh. WAS HE WORTH IT? Farmers of those conservative sections where the idea seems to be deeply rooted that the way their grandfathers did agriculturally is plenty good enough today and where no effort is made to hide contempt for the county agricultural expert should be interested in the following record of ten months' work of such a demonstrator who is in the employ of Merrick county' Neb. In the period mentioned he traveled 9,040 miles in answering the calls for assistance which he received from the farmers, in the course of which travel he visited 543 farms. He had 478 callers on Saturdays in his office, had 2,000 telephone talks, received 200 letters from his employers, the farmers, wrote them 800 letters and spoke at twenty meetings, at which 2,000 farmers gathered. In addition to numerous field demonstrations he vaccinated over 2,000 hogs, valued at $17,000, among which there was a loss from cholera of but 3 per cent. He spotted forty cows that were of the star boarder stripe and weren't giving milk enough to pay for their feed. Did this man earn his salary? POOR SEED CORN AGAIN. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commissioner of the Rock Island lines, has lately sent out warnings to the farmers of the middle western states that the seed corn that is available in much of the territory tributary to this system is of very low grade this year. He states that there is very little good seed in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and northwestern Texas, seed from last year's crop being unsafe to plant and much of the 1912 crop showing poor germination. He further warns farmers against buying seed corn outside of their own counties and particularly from any considerable distance, as a reduced yield is almost sure to result. J. C. Trigg SPRING BLOUSES. They Come In Many Lurid New Colors. CHARMING NET BLOUSE. There is nothing prettier with a new skirt than a blouse of either the same color in fine ninon or silk or satin one of contrasting shades. The newest French made blouses are nearly all unlined, being as loosely fitted as possible, with ample fullness under the arms that quite do away with that tendency to wear badly or split that was the great drawback with the Magyar style when it first came in to fashion. The colors used are many of them lurid in the extreme, royal purple, geranium and tangerine being the favorites, the blouses being carried out in charmeuse or a thick quality crepe de chine, trimmed very simply at neck and wrist with narrow bands of velvet. Very chic little blouses for summer wear are of net. Illustrated here is a blouse of embroidered net which is worn with a dainty gown of taffeta. The founced tunic, trimmed with buttons, gives an exceedingly attractive appearance to the simple little frock. LAUNDRY BOX. A Pedestal Shaped Affair That Will Fit Conveniently Into Corners. Better far than the laundry bag is the pedestal shaped box. It may be as elegant looking as its owner elects to have it and stand about the dressing room on an equality with the other necessary pieces of furniture. The pedestal may be made of the most ordinary wood, since invariably it is covered with cretonne, worsted brocade or any thick, closely woven window draping material. It should be neatly finished at the edges with a gimp or a fancy braid. Inside it may be lined with white ollcloth, although that is not necessary, and it has a flat lid which, when closed, makes a convenient table top. This laundry box fits into a corner, out of the way. It may stand beside the bed, as it is precisely the right size to hold a night light, a book and a carafe. Care of the Exps The day comes to one and all-provided we live the allotted span—when our sight has to be studied. Women should do all work, such as sewing, reading and writing, by daylight as far as possible. Lamps give the best artificial light. The lamp should be placed at your left hand. Do not use the eyes directly after a meal. Bathe them morning and night in cold water to strengthen the muscles. When they feel especially tired and strained use water as hot as can comfortably be borne. With a soft sponge bathe them for several minutes, then give a dash of cold water. Special Polishing Cloths. Special containers Dissolve half a cupful of shredded white soap in a cupful of hot water. When it is cold, stir into it three large tablespoonfuls of powdered whitening and a few drops of ammonia. Beat it into a smooth jelly. Have ready some suitable pieces of old soft flannel or table linen. Put these in the jelly and allow them to absorb as much of it as possible. Squeeze them slightly and let them dry. A quick rub with one of these cloths will remove all tarnish from silver and will give it a brilliant polish. Cleaning Solid Silver The best way to keep silver-real silver, not plate-always up to the mark is to wash it daily in hot water to which a little soap and a small piece of soda have been added. Dry thoroughly, and while still hot polish it with a soft leather. About once a week use a little plate-powder for polishing. FLOUR MILL ON FARM. How One North Dakota Man Gota 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 plant 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 him 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 $2 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. when cared for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. Screw harness hooks will make good hangers. A little box may be attnched 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 sod lands 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 subshell will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early. The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for barber supplies shoe polish.

JOHNSON, --- Success In Assured if Proper Directions Are Followed. By H. D. HUGHES, Chief of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agricultural experiment station. Success does not always come with first attempts with alfalfa, but that should not be discouraging. The percent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the 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 ALFALPA FIELD. the yield of alfalfa notably. On all soils below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest priced seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, it should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average soil covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is a good plan to set the drill so as to sow only about ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice—for example, crossing the field north and south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa best suited to Iowa conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the 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 cutting, 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, ppt in bunches and much of it stacked the same day. It is important that as few of the leaves as possible be lost. In order to save the leaves many growers rake the alfalfa into windrows as soon as it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake as soon as dry enough to stack and haul it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cocking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large acreages. Where one has much alfalfa hay to cure a side delivery rake will be found to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked it is cut late in the afternoon or the morning, raked before dinner and put in cocks in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers assures one of little difficulty in curing even the first cutting and produces a hay of very excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of an egg is too little understood. Dampness, heat above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts, delay in marketing, are factors which very quickly destroy freshness and good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees. See that the grass is pulled away from the base of small trees. Better put wire protectors about them so mice or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter. They Are to Be Very Popular For Spring Wear. I NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown here is a Poiret creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked serge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapis lazuli, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow 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 I 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 dalny, embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD. 5 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 handowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the ady- ability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard belongs in a scheme of mixed farming, together with poultry and hogs. Important facts for fruit growers are that orchard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of the soil maintained without extraordinary effort. While the trees are coming to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn,except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high. The light and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. The church is said to have as many doors as days in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year.

Alabama's Iron Ore 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 cooling 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.

Meet any day when the sun shines down in the south windows of shop and office a stray box elder bug will lander up enough to crawl around in a cluggish, lifeless manner. Just how the bug has survived to the present time with nothing to eat is a bit mysterious. Potato growers the country over will be interested in a recent bulletin get out by the department of agriculture under the caption, "Potato Wilt, Leaf Roll and Related Diseases." It can be had free on application to the United States department of agriculture at Washington. Caked udder in milk cows is not always, but is nevertheless usually, brought on by catching cold. This follows lying down on a damp stable floor or on the cold ground outside. With good cows as high priced as they are, it is shortsighted in the extreme to allow such preventable cases of caked udder. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it is a risky proposition using coal tar as a material for painting the wounds of young fruit trees. In a number of instances which the writer has run across lately trees so treated a year ago are practically done for now, and this is particularly true where the coal tar was used freely and the trunks completely covered with it. That it is a very easy matter for so called experts to get mixed up in the scenery was proven in a rather tragic manner the other day when a woman who claimed to have unerring judgment in the matter of distinguishing between poisonous and edible varieties of mushrooms died shortly after partaking of some of the "harmless" mushrooms. Folks who don't have a keener knowledge than this woman should feed the cooked product to the ear first or let the stuff alone entirely. Apple sauce cake is much enjoyed by those who have eaten it. The following recipe is one that is published by a lady at Black River Falls, Wis.: One egg, well beaten; one cupful of granulated sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of sweetened apple sauce, one scant half cupful of lard, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and one and one-quarter teaspoonfuls of soda, dissolved in apple sauce; one cupful of seedless raisins and two cupfuls of flour. Beat well and bake in moderate oven. Poor condition in aged horses as a result of a bad condition of the teeth is a common thing. Occasionally the same thing is responsible for unthrifty condition in a growing hog. The writer remembers the case of two hogs that were of the same age and ate out of the same trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When cornmeal was substituted for shillet corn the runt began to pick up firmly. The natural inference from this was that its teeth were out of whack. --- Scores of young orchards are going every year because the owners that they can work the tracts as a calf pasture proposition before the trees get to a bearing age. The two things don't go together, and if the calves are to have the right of way it would be better to quit monkeying with the trees and take a grub hoe and dig them out. If, on the other hand, they are counted on to become something beyond sticks for the calves to scratch their backs on the bovines would better be pastured elsewhere. --- The old, old law of growth, "To them that hath shall be given," holds just as truly in the feed lot and hog pen as it does among trees in the forest, among men in business or in the case of the individual in the building up of physical, mental and moral forces. Because of this fact precautions should be taken to see that the weaklings have a place where they can get the fed they need unmolested by older and stronger animals. Unless such aid is given one might just about as well knock such runts on the head. The first step that should be followed in restoring the fertility of a rundown farm should be to increase the number of animals kept on the place. Cattle, sheep and hogs are better than none, but the dairy cow is the best fertility restorer of the lot. Every effort should be made to increase the manurial product of the farm. Another aid is to grow the clovers as green manures. After this a crop should be raised which will require clean cultivation and dispose of the weeds. Clover should be sowed again and plowed under or may be used as a meadow for one season and then plowed under with a cultivated crop following. As the soil becomes richer the clover crop will not have to be produced so often. Hog feeding experiments which have been carried on by the Iowa experiment station during the past six years seem to prove conclusively that as a general rule the time spent in grinding corn for hogs is worse than wasted. From weaning time until late in the fall lots of spring pigs on pasture were fed rations of dry ear corn, soaked (shelled) corn, dry cornmeal and soaked cornmeal. The amount of feed required for 100 pounds of gain in the different lots was as follows. Dry ear corn, 440 pounds; soaked shelled corn, 463 pounds; dry cornmeal, 546 pounds; soaked cornmeal, 520 pounds. In making rapit, gain the dry ear corn was also the most economical with the pigs up to 200 pounds in weight. For pigs larger than this the cheapest gains were made on soaked shelled corn. who departed this life, April 5th, 1913 Dear husband, how we miss you Since you have gone away, It has been a year ago Though it seems but yesterday. The Lord took you from us; It was His holy will And left in our hearts a vacancy Which no one else can fill Can I forget you, husband Or the parting words you said? As you threw your arms around me And those burning tears you shed, When your happy angel spirit Took its flight to realms of day Can I forget you, husband, Tho you've passed from earth away? Sleep on, sleep on, Sleep on my husband dear For you have now a crown in heaven For the pains you suffered here. Devoted wife, Mamie E. Rowells In loving memory of our loving band and father who departed this life April 3rd, 1915. A precious one from us is gone A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Safe in the arm of Jesus Safe on His gentle breast There by His love o'er shaded Sweetly my soul shall rest. Mrs Sarah I. Washington, wife. Rob't F. and James W. Washington, Among the Masons A HASTY TONGUE Above all others, a Mason should not have hasty forgone. Masons are especially taught to learn to subdue their passions. A quick temper often leads to injustice and after regret. Frequently offence is taken when none is meant. If we would but learn to think twice before answering once, much hard feeling would be avoided. Let us be charitable in our judgements. We are all prone to be hasty in condemning the words and acts of others, when a little thought, a little investigation would prove our hasty judgement to be wrong, or at least to be only partially true. "A soft answer turneth away wrath." Even if others misjudge us, or speak or write to us in an offensive way, if we will meet wrath with calmness, anger with good will, and wrong with forgiveness, we will not only disarm those who seek to injure us, but we will have the satisfaction of knowing that we have followed the precepts and teachings of religion and of Masonry, and softened the asperities of life.—Herald. Not in its numbers, nor in its ancient origin, nor yet in its magnificent temples does the glory of Masonry consist. It is found in the lives and characters of its votaries.—Herald. Masonry is a great leveler. The king and the peasant meet as equals on our tessalated floor. As I study the principles of Freemasonry I am more and more impressed with their grandeur and nobility, and as I content to the lives which we, as Masons, live, it fills the heart with sorrow to think how far we fall below her standard; and I sometimes fear that as our fraternity has enlarged her borders and grown venerable with years, we, the children have lost some of the stern integrity and devotion to genuine Masonic principles which characterized our fathers in the faith. Reverence towards God, purity of heart and lip, truthfulness in work and deed, charity for the weak, and tender compassion for the erring are among the legends which they emblazoned upon our standard. Profanity and falsehood, and slander, and vice of every kind, are denounced as un-Masonic and unworthy of him who has knelt at the holy altar.—Masonic, Tidings. Before declaring a recess of his lodge a Master Mason recently invited all visiting brethren to the East and there introduced each by name. In another lodge, the Master provides the Tyler with a form on which each visitor is asked to write his name, the number and location of his lodge and the title of the highest office he holds or has held in his lodge. When the opportunity offers the Master refers to his list, asks the brethren to arise as their names are called, and each is introduced. Two ways of furthering acquaintance are here outlined. Others have been mentioned from time to time. One of the greatest difficulties in large cities is to get the brethren acquainted with one another. The very fact that it is difficult should result in a more determined effort to accomplish it. Let every brother help as much as he can—Masonic Sentinel. --- The accacia referred to in our ceremonies is a small shrub, and anciently grew in great abundance in the neighborhood of Jerusalem. Some Masonic writers and Masons when speaking of the evergreen sprig, designated it by a wrong word. Cassia is a very different plant, and we are told, did not grow about Jerusalem. The Greek word, accacia from sin.' This is the Masonic word.—Missouri Freemason. "The man who does nothing for Masonry misses two-thirds of the enjoyment of membership. The more you do the fuller will be your enjoyment." MASONIC INFLUENCE It is a subject worthy of profound and gratifying thought to observe and realize the tremendous influence this great Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons has in the affairs of men. From the faraway frozen north, to "Africa's burning sands," the same grand old story reads the same, help, uplift, loving kindness to every weary, discouraged soul, regardless of crede, country or condition. We stand upon the limitless platform of "Peace on earth, good will to man," ever widening--like the pebble tossed into still water--its benign and beautiful influences upon thought speech, Homes in Reach of All!

A Masonic apron should be plain white, of four equal sides, with the flap, or bib, a perfect triangle, and never with rounded corners. These dimensions have a pointed symbolic meaning with which every Master Mason should be familiar. Pilgrim Congregational Church The Liberty County Union convened at the Pilgrim Congregational church on last Saturday and Sunday. Nearly all of the business was transacted on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning the moderator turned the meeting over to the field superintendant who conducted Sunday School. After Sunday school a literary program was rendered. The solos by Mrs. M. L. [French] Henry of Charlotte, N. C., Mrs. Mattie Reid and little Miss Gwendolyn Roberta Thomas received much praise. In the afternoon Rev. J. W. Holloway, formerly of Newark, N. J., now pastor of the Congregational church at Thebes, Ga., preached a stirring sermon, the occasion being the unveiling of tablet, having been previously put in by Mr. J. A. Snyder for the members of the church as a memorial to the Rev. John Herman Henry Sengstacke, former pastor and founder. After the sermon everybody passed out and gathered around the tablet where the unveiling ceremony took place. This service was performed by Rev. Holloway. The union adjourned to meet the fifth Sunday in May at Thebes, Ga. A. Costly Drink. Sir Thomas Gresham, the millionaire merchant of Queen Elizabeth's day, in order to shame the Spanish ambassador, who was extolling the riches of his master before Elizabeth, remarked "that the queen had subjects who at one meal would expend a sum equal to the daily revenue of the king of Spain and all his grandees put together." Soon after this the Spanish ambassador was invited to dine with the English knight, when the latter drew from his pocket a pearl for which he had shortly before refused $75,000, ground it to powder and drank it to the health of his mistress, the queen.—National Magazine.

Mariice and Mildred were visiting their grandmother when they became so mischievous that she made the old time threat, "If you don't behave the bad man will get you." The children had never heard the threat before and did not understand the "bad man" part of it. The following conversation between them was overheard some time later: "Mildred, who is the bad man?" "I don't know. You will have to ask grandma. She is well acquainted with him."-Indianaapolis News. Liszt's Predicament. Miszt took no money for his lessons, and so many pupils came to him that at last he had no time left for the work he wanted to do, and this was just the time when he was engaged in composing his "Christ." He therefore wrote to Hans von Buelow: "Dear Friend—I want a broom. Come." Buelow came. The broom was set in motion, and in the course of a week all the pupils vanished. He could not have done it himself, for he could never say no. He had the best and noblest heart of any man. Supreme Court Salaries. Supreme Court Salaries. The chief justice of the supreme court of the United States receives a salary of $15,000 a year and each of the associate justices $14,500. When any justice has served for ten years he may, with the exception of the chief justice, retire on full pay provided he is then seventy years old. If the chief justice retires under such conditions his salary for the remainder of his life is reduced from $15,000 to $14,500, being thus placed on the same basis as that of the associated justices.
