Notes on Negro Progress
Furnished by the National Negro Business League
The statement of business transacted by The Farmers' Co-operative Negro Company of Mound Bayous, Miss., a company that operates a general department store in that town, to the close of November last, shows resources to amounting $24,420.26. E. P. Booze is the manager.
The Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, Ga., has added Missouri to the list of States in which they can do business, and like its entrance into Kentucky and Tennessee, Missouri Negroes have accorded a gratifying welcome by taking out many policies, both of the old line and industrial class.
The Central Regalia Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, of which Joseph L. Jones is president and manager, has recently been making some extensive improvements in its plant, adding new machinery, etc. This company makes and furnishes everything in the regalia line, rituals, record books, seals, and other stationery used by any and all Negro fraternities. All the employees of the company, from the president down to the janitor, are Negroes. The lastreport shows the company to be in splendid condition, and doing a large business with Negro lodges of every fraternity.
Columbus, Ohio hi a new, and its only Negro newspaper, The Columbus Independent, edited by Floyd J. Snelson. A new newspaper and the only one in the city, has also been started at St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Ida Walker being editor and proprietor. Both of these recent comers into the Negro newspaper field are bright, newsy papers, and greatly needed in the cities where established.
The stockholders of the Johnson Manufacturing Co., Boston, Mass., met in annual session recently and listened to a very interesting and encouraging report by the President, W. Alexander Johnson, of a successful business year. A dividend of 6 per cent was paid to stockholders of record and a good balance placed to the sinking fund. This company manufactures a line of remedies for the hair, scalp and face which are sold in every part of this country.
The receipts of the Post Office at Mound Bayou, Miss., over which a colored woman presides as postmistress, and which town is an exclusive Negro town, indicates the progress of the town, From March, 1912, to March, 1913, the receipts were as follows: Money orders issued. $67,776.22; Fees $539.40; On Postal Account, $3,607.44; Sale of Stamps, $3,337.51; From Newspapers, $41.88; Box Rents, $227.50. In the Postal Saving Department certificates to the amount of $343 were issued. The Postoffice receipts of a city or town indicates how live it is. This being accepted as criterion, the Negro town of Mound Bayou is very much alive.
As indicating that the Negroes of Washington, D. C., are awaking to the necessity of establishing business enterprises, and patronizing race establishments, it is estimated that in the last two years $20,000 have been invested in business establishments in U Street alone, from 9th to 14th Street.

Atlanta Wins Annual Debate From Fisk University
Atlanta Wins Annual Debate From Fisk University
LARGE CROWD GATHERED TO HEAR ARGUMENTS
Georgia Boys Given Great Ovation Ly Audience when Decision of the Judges was Rendered-Resolved, That the United States Should Disclaim the Monroe Doctrine as a Part of its Foreign Policy, Subject Debated
Nashville, Tenn., April 4—On last night Atlanta University met Fisk University in debate which resulted in an unquestionable victory for Atlanta University. The subject of the debate was Resolved, That the United States should disclaim the Monroe Doctrine as a part of its foreign policy. Atlanta University defended the affirmative, having as speakers Messrs. Asa H. Gordon of Monticello, Ga., and Loring B. Moore of Brunswick, Ga., while Fisk held the negative with Messrs. Charles A. Wade and Edward L. Dunning as speakers.
The first speaker, Moore, of Atlanta, held that the Monroe Doctrine is unjust to the countries of South America as well as to the other countries of the world; that it is not a part of international law; and that as now practiced it is contrary to the spirit of Monroe who enunciated the doctrine.
The first speaker for Fisk on the negative contended that while the doctrine is not international law, it had practically the force of international law. He asailed no other arguments made by the affirmative, but he advanced the argument of danger to the Panama canal, resulting from giving up the doctrine.
Gordon, the second speaker for Atlanta, replied that all international law must be actually written down, signed and sealed to make it law, otherwise it could not be binding. He further re-futed the first speaker by showing that if foreign powers holding land near the Panama canal were a danger, that danger already existed under the Monroe Doctrine as it now stands. Then he proved that the Monroe Doctrine is unnecessary and inexpedient, that it is inconsistently interpreted, that it is conducive to ill-will in South America and in Europe, and that it greatly hinders our commercial development.
Fisk's next speaker contended that the Doctrine is based on sound political theory, and that it is thought well of by many prominent South Americans. In rebuttal Atlanta replied that it made no difference how many men spoke well of the Doctrine, that as long as it could that fact alone was proof enough that a new policy is needed which can not be misunderstood. Moore, of Atlanta, held that it is dangerous to have an international policy that can be interpreted in so many ways; that it is provocative of war.
Finally, Gordon, of Atlanta, granted that even if it were sound in theory, that would make no difference if the doctrine worked badly, as he proved. He maintained that its value depended upon the way it worked which was proved to be bad. The debate was attended by a large crowd and enthusiasm ran high during the whole evening. The decision of the judges was considered by the audience, including the Fish students, a fair one and the victorious Atlanta boys were given a loud applause.

Dr. W. T. Pritchett Dead
Many friends in Augusta of Dr. W. T. Pritchett will learn with regret of his death at Cascade, Va., on last Saturday. For a number of years Dr. Pritchett had been in failing health and about 2 years ago he moved to Savannah in hopes of regaining his strength. Failing to improve there, he went to Virginia but the inroads of all health had so weakened his vitality that he could not survive. He is survived by his widow and several children to whom the sympathy of a host of friends goes out. Dr. Pritchett came to Augusta about 18 years ago, immediately after graduation from Leonard Medical College at Shaw University and in a short time built up a lucrative practice. He was an active secret order man being a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. Mrs. Pritchett and the children have been in Augusta for several months, his son. W. T., Jr., being the only member of his immediate family with him at the time of his death. Accompanied by her eldest daughter, Miss Bizzelle, Mrs. Pritchett left on Sunday afternoon for Virginia. Pending her arrival, funeral arrangements have not been announced. Genuine sorrow is being express by all who knew Dr. Pritchett at his departure, and the bereaved family have the condolence of all who knew him.—Georgia Baptist.
ST. STEPHEN'S CON- FIRMS BIG CLASS
ST. STEPHEN'S CON- FIRMS BIG CLASS
THIRTY THREE ACCEPTED IN CHURCH BY BISHOP
Five Infants Baptised Last Sunday Morning—Large Crowd Turned Away from Confirmation Services—About Fifty Added to Church During Rev. Taylor's Seven Months in This City
Confirmation was held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on last Sunday night by the Rt. Rev. Reese, bishop of the diocese, and perhaps the largest crowd in the history of the parish was in attendance. Long before the hour set for the services to begin the church was filled, every available seat being taken, and those who came at the usual opening time were tured away. It is estimated that at least three hundred were refused admission on account of lack of accommodation.
The confirmation services as carried out by the bishop were very impressive and the sermon he delivered to the class an exceptionally strong one. The class which was confirmed consisted of thirty-three members, sixteen males and seventeen females. It is the largest class ever confirmed at St. Stephen's, the nearest approach to it being one about twenty years ago when twenty-seven were confirmed under the Rev. R. Bright, the former pastor.
After the services the bishop took a seat on the rostrum and shook hands with, the members of the newly confirmed class and many of the members of the church.
In the morning the baptism of children took place and the service was attended by a packed church. The five children baptised were Marie Gáillard Moore, Susan Margeret Scott, Earle Elliott Edwards, and Hilda B. Boifeuillett. John Boifeuillett, Jr., was acknowledged into the church at this service also. so.
The members of the confirmation class were, adults, Mr. M. B. Branham, Mr. J. P. Boileuillett, Mr. Frank Dowse, Mr. Arthur Dilworth, Mr. Samuel Montgomery, Mr. Frank McKelvey, Mr. David W. Moore, Mr. Henry Paterson, Mr. Elliott P. Taylor, Mr. D. J. Wilson, Miss Jeanette Branham, Mrs Ethel Boiffeuillett, Miss Rosa M. Bourke, Miss Harriet Blyler, Miss Agatha R. Curley, Miss Lottie Evans, Miss Anna E. Millen, Miss Annulette McDowell, Miss Ellen Spaulding; children, Gertrude Steele, Veranese Skipper, Eleanor Pollard, Anna Jones, Georgia Hare, Augusta L. Hernandez, Frances Habersham, Ruth M. Giles, William J. Whiteman, John A. Jones, Herbert Dixon, Alphonso Davis, Herbert B. Dowse.
Including last Sunday night's class the Rev. J. L. Taylor has added about fifty to the membership of the church since his coming here seven months ago, and he has officiated at six marriages, baptised fifteen, and performed many funeral ceremonies of persons who were not communicants of his church.
Asbury M. E. Church
Last Sunday the services were well attended. At the morning services, the Rev. J. W. Tindall preached an able sermon. At 4 p.m. the funeral services of Miss Catherine Bogan were held; the pastor, Rev. Stripling officiated. At 8 p.m. preaching and the communion services were held. The pastor preached on the subject, "The value of a soul." The revival services are still going on. The public is invited to attend these services. The following services will be on tomorrow: At 5 a.m. the resurrection sermon, 3:30 p.m. Sunday school, 8 p.m. the Easter exercises.
Abyssinia Baptist Church Rev. E. L. B. Barbor, pastor, preached three strong sermons Sunday. At 3 o'clock the communion services were held. The church is yet alive and getting along nicely.

Lesson II.—Second Quarter, For April 12, 1914.
Text of the Lesson, Luke xxiv, 13-35
Memory Verses, 31, 32—Golden Text,
Ronn. vill, 34—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This study might bear the title of the
one for March 22, "Lessons by the
Way," and it is also a good introduction
to next week's lesson on "The
Cost of Discipleship," for nothing
helps one to be a disciple like the power
of Ills resurrection (Phil. iii, 10).
There were five appearances of the
risen Christ on that first resurrection
day, to Mary Magdalene, to the other
women, to Peter, to these two men
and in the evening to the top (Thomas
being absent). That which Jesus was
and did during the forty days between
His resurrection and ascension
speaks to me of that which the saints
will be and do in our resurrection
bodies, for we shall be like Him.
(Mal. ill, 16). I like the words "Jesus Himself," "I myself," "Jesus shewed Himself," "He gave Himself," "His own self bare our sins" (verses 86, 39); John xx, 1, 14; Acts 1, 3; Galil 11, 20; Pet. ii, 24). No one can fill or satisfy the heart like "Himself," and we do not wonder that the psalmist sald, "My meditation of Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord!" (Ps. cx. 34).
The men asked if He was a stranger because He did not seem to know the great events of the past few days, and they told Him all (verses 19-24), evidently with much sadness and disappointment. They talked as if they had never heard that He was to die and rise from the dead on the third day, though He had repeatedly told them that it would be even so (Luke ix, 22; xvill, 31-34). It is written concerning John, whom Jesus loved, who leaned upon His bosom, that even he, as well as Peter knew not that Jesus must rise again from the dead (John xx, 9). This should lead us to ask ourselves in all sincerity if we are really believing all that is written concerning His present ministry, His coming again and His kingdom, and our share by grace in it all.
He told them that their difficulty was that they did not believe all that the prophets had spoken and were therefore foolish men (verses 25, 26), and that evening He said to the eleven and those gathered with them, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning Him (verses 33, 44).
Many of these still unfulfilled propheies are today wholly neglected or spiritualized into mere nothings. Take for example Israel becoming a righteous nation, Jerusalem the throne of the Lord, His feet standing again upon the Mount of Olives, the nations ceasing from war, Israel filling the earth with fruit, the whole earth filled with His glory (Isa. ii, 4; xl, 9; xxvll, 6).
The whole topic of all Scripture may be summed up in "the sufferings of Christ and the glory that shall follow" (verse 26 and I Pet. 1, 11), of which He spoke to them as He walked, opening to them the Scriptures, and expounding to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (verses 7, 32). I think we may be certain that He did not fail to expound Gen. 11, 15, 21, 24; xxil. E; xxil. Lev. xvl; Num. xix; Deut. xvill; Ps. xxii; Isa. lili; and who can tell how many more. Is it your custom when you read your Bible to pray, Lord, by Thy Spirit, open to me this Scripture?
He made as though He would have gone further when they reached the end of their journey, for He does not intrude unless desired. It was not difficult to constrain Him to abide, for He is glad to enter every door that is opened to Him (verses 23, 29; Rev. 11, 20). As He sat at meat with them He took bread and blessed and broke and gave to them, and He was known of them in breaking of bread (verses 30, 31, 35). My own conviction is that they saw in His hands, as He broke the bread, the marks of the nails and thus recognized Him, even as the same evening He convinced the disciples that it was Himself by showing them His hands and feet (verse 39). As they knew Him He vanished out of their sight, so shall we do when we shall have obtained our resurrection bodies.
They rose up the same hour and started back to Jerusalem with such a heartburn as they probably had not known before. Compare the inward burning of Ps. xxxix, 3; Jer. xx, 9; Job xxxl, 18-20. The eight mile walk back to the city did not seem long to them, as they no doubt rehearsed all that He had told them. They found the disciples and others gathered together, talking of His resurrection, and of how He had appeared to Simon; so they told their wonderful story, and as they spake Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you" (verse 36). The two men were sad as He joined them in their walk, and He cared and spent several hours comforting them by the Scriptures. The disciples are terrified and affronted and troubled, and He quieted them by the revelation of Himself.
Nothing more is needed in all our troubles than Himself and His word. That our resurrection bodies of flesh and bones can be handled, and that in them we can eat and drink, is clear from verses 89-43, and chapter xxii, 29.

Ancient Money.
In Biblical days silver and gold coins were struck of such weight that one of them represented the value of a particular animal, says the Chicago News. Thus the word kesitah (used in Genesis), translated "pieces of money," means literally a lamb. The Latin pecunary comes from pecus, a general name for sheep and the smaller animals. In early times coins bore figures of a horse, a bull or a hog, together with the names of the animals pictured. Afterward, as values changed, the figures upon the coins no longer bore representations of their value in cattle, but figures representing a rose, an eagle, etc.
A Lame Excuse.
"A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared:
"You didn't challenge me!
"N-no, sir," faltered the sentinel, saluting.
"Well, why didn't you?" the colonel demanded.
"Excuse me, sir," said the sentinel, "but I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel."

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 td 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 slim 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 taugek, $80 of bone meal and $25 pounds of muriate 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 when 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 opening. 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.
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 alm 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. Pijg
Society Woman a Candidate
For State Senator of Colorado.
Colorado is to witness an interesting campaign for the office of state senator. Mrs. James J.Brown, prominent in Newport and Denver society, is the candidate in opposition to Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson. Mrs. Brown is a survivor of the Titanic disaster. While Denver is her home, she has of late years spent much time in the east. Her niece, whom she chaperoned, was recently married to William J. Harper, Jr., of New York, and since then she has felt she had more leisure to devote to personal and public affairs.
Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson became widely known through the fact that she was the first woman elected to the office of state senator. She is a good public speaker and has lectured throughout the country. In the senate she gave her attention to a bill intended to ameliorate the condition of women and children—a field in which the woman legislator may find much opportunity for usefulness.
Appreciation of Cats.
Cats have many sins for which to answer, but some of them should be forgotten for a little while in recognition of the act done by one wise and faithful cat in a suburb of another city, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some time ago this animal awakened its master from a sound sleep by its persistent pawing. On getting his eyes open the man instantly realized that his house was on fire. Having time to check the dames, he finally put them out.
There is no doubt that cats vary much in disposition and intelligence. Some resemble dogs very much in their faithfulness, while others, like the cats in Kipling's "Just So" story, like to "walk by themselves" and are not interested in people.
The suburban cat is not always appreciated by neighbors who love birds and who see in the feline only a bitter enemy of bird life. When one loves both cat and birds it is hard to reconcile such a viewpoint. One way to help matters is to keep pussy in the house every night during nesting time, for there are more depredations during the night than in the daytime.
Dishwashing Problems.
That dishwashing problem, we all know, is always with us! Labor may be saved by wiping greasy plates with a piece of paper before putting them in the water. If the plates are scraped with a knife before putting them in the dishpan a lot of unnecessary washing can be saved.
In cleaning forks, which are really awkward things, for so much lodges between the prongs, a stiff brush is preferable to a cloth, and in drying glasses a warmed cloth gives excellent results.
These may seem trifling matters, and perhaps they are, but they save both time and labor—and temper, too, sometimes.
Saucepan covers are often hung up exposed to the air and, where gas is used, to fumes which have a discoloring effect. The result is a great deal of unnecessary polishing and cleaning, which might all be avoided if the covers were inclosed in calico bags or even in paper covers, cut to shape and pasted together so that they could be easily slipped on and off. The frequent burnishing by this simple method would be avoided.
Lighting a Fire.
A capital way to light a fire quickly if sticks of wood are not obtainable is to put a few pieces of newspaper at the bottom of grate and soak a few lumps of coke for a minute or two with kerosene. Place these on the paper and apply a match. The flame will be found to "get hold" immediately and in a very few minutes there will be quite a good fire.
ALFALFA.
What makes the landscape look so fair;
What blossoms bright perfume the air;
What plant repays the farmer's toll,
And will enrich the wormout soil?
Alfalfa!
What is the crop that always pays,
Which may be cut each forty days,
Resisting drought, the frost and heat;
Whose roots reach down full twenty feet?
Alfalfa!
What grows in loam and clay and sand;
What lifts the mortgage off the land;
What crop is cut three times a year,
And of never a failure do you hear?
Alfalfa!
What makes the swine so healthy feel,
And never raise a hungry squeal;
The wholesome food that never fails
To put three curls into their tails?
Alfalfa!
What makes all other stock look nice,
And brings the highest market price;
What dills the milk pails, feeds the ear,
And makes the old cow almost laugh?
Alfalfa!
FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
How One North Dakota Man Gets
Greatest Return From Grans
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 bin room in which to store it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food.
A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and $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.

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 subsol will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early.

ALFALFA A MONEY MAKER.
Success In Assured if Proper Direc
tiens Are Followed.
By H. D. HUGHES,
Ciel of bureau of farm crops, Towa agri-
cultural experiment rtation.
Baccess does not always come with
first attempts with :tIfalfa, but that
sheald not be discuuraginz. The per
cent of failures in securing a stand of
sifaifa fs not so great as with many
other crops commonly grown. Very
imple measures turn fallore to suc-
cess. For instance, in a number of
cases where the seeding of alfalfa
‘alled without inoculation, the mere ad-
ition of 300 pounds per acre of soll
‘from an alfalfa fleld or from a sweet
clover patch brought success. After
“inoculation the soll produced a fine
sgrowth of alfalfa. In other sections
sof the state, particularly in the south-
central, the application of from 1,500
spounds to 8,000 pounds of lime per acre
“brought success when various other
“trials without Iime failed. -
Perhaps the most important thing in
«securing 2 stand of alfalfa !s the
iMfberal use of manure even on soils
sabove the average in fertility. Its ap-
«plication before plowing has Increased

the yield of alfaifa 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 soll
covered to a depth of about one inch.
Tordistribute 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 ex-
ample, crossing the field north and
south first and then east and west.
‘There has been much discussion re-
garding the varlety of alfalfa best
sulted to Iowa conditions. Since the
per cent of winter killing has been
comparatively low and seed of the
hardier varieties 4s very high priced
and also uncertain as to purity the
only variety which can well be recom-
mended for general use is that known
as the common American. ‘This ts
grown almost altogether in such states
as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown
on nonirrigated land, under conditions
#0 nearly a3 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 kecp 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 sald regarding the
difficulty of handling and curing the
first cutting, but reports from those
men In Jowa who have the largest
acreages state that alfalfa is not more
dificult to cure than red clover. A
number have sald that it is easier to
senre.
‘Various methods of curing have been
used successfully. 2
In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut
one afternoon may be raked ¢the fol-
lowing day, put in bunches and much
of it stacked the same day.
It 1s 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 2s
it has wilted and before the leaves aro
dry, bunch the hny 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 acre-
ages.
‘Where one has much alfalfa hay to
cure a side dellvery rake wit! be found
to be of the greatest value.
Where the hay is to be cocked it is
cut late in the afternoon or the morn-
fng, 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
dificuity in curing even the first
cutting and produces a hay of very
excellent quality.
The Care of Eggs.
The perishable nature of an egs 1s
too Uttle 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 Smal! Trees.
See that the grass 1s pulled away
trom the base of small trees. Better
put wire protectors about them so
mice or mbbfts cannot Injure them
during the winter.

NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN,
The common sense costume shown
here 1s a Polret creation, It is intend-
ed to be worn under a spring coat, and
{ts Ines particularly adapt it for youth-
fol figures. Black and white checked
serge is combined ‘with plain black
cloth. It is ornamented with ball but-
tons in black and white. The vogue
of checks is foreshadowed in this as in
many other spring models.
Much attention may be given to but
tons, as on all the well made tallor
mades the buttons are a striking note
Tho lesser precious stones are being
used for these trimmings, so we see
buttons in jade, amber, lapus lazull
cornaling, agate, etc.
Moreover, it 1s not an extravagance
to pay a good price for a set of but
tons, as they can always be used on
something if they have intrinsic value
no matter what the fashions. And just
now they Lave a very obvious value

yrealize the shortcomings of ordinary
farming.
For instance, white I urge the advis-
ability of growing frult in localities
which have the advantage of good
markets, I should dislike to nee farm-
ers in the central states or anywhere
else devote themselves to this single
industry. That would be about as fool-
ish ag exclusive grain raising or dairy-
Ing. The orchard belongs in a scheme
of mixed farming, together with poul-
‘try and hogs.
Important facts for fruit growers
are that orchard land may be made to
pay double and the fertility of the soll
maintafped without extraordinary ef-
fort. ‘While the trees are coming to
maturity land earns nothing for five or
aix years unless there is a plan of veg-
etable raising, when a return of $100
an acre is eas!ly secured and the soil
ig benefited by the necessary cultiva-
tion. Unless stich a system of cropping
is established a nonbearing orebard 1s
apt to be neglected, and this results in
waste of time, investment and land.
‘The cultivation of vegetables or small
fruit in an orchard 1s therefore for the
purpose of securing immedinte.profits
and keeping up the quality of the soil.
It goes further than this, however, for
it makes thé land return a living in-
come eren in unfavorable frult sea-
sons, 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 befry patches. One of the most
common mistakes In farming is to
plant trees too near together,
Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassinam
are necessary for the fertilization of
fruit trees and plants in general. Ni-
trogen can be obtalned in stable ma-
nure, but the principal source ts alr,
and we may obtain it by growing
legumes. Vegetable gardening carried
on With the ald 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 fs 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 un-
Jock that which is already present in
abundance. Experiments have shown
that it docs not pay to apply potas-
alum to ordinary solls, provided decay-
ing organic matter In the form of ma-
nure or cover crops is worked into the
soll. The decaying organic matter will
Uberate the potasstum.
It may not be generally known that
apples are about as hard on land 2s
wheat or corn, except they do not take
from it as much phosphorus. A 425
bushel apple crop will remore from the
soll about the same amaunt of nitro-
gen and potassium and half as much
phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or
twenty-five bushels of wheat There-
fore a thorough system of gardening
not only makes the orchard land do
double duty, but restores the soll fer
tillty.
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 organfe matter. It is
shown that a cheap way to grow
legumes 1s to apply ground limestone
and rock phosphate. The cost of this
treatment would not exceed $2 per atre
per year, which should not seriously
interfere with this system, of fertlliza-
POTATO NOTES.
‘To secure an early supply of new po.
tatoes nest 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 soll to be supplied as
the plants grow, after the manner of
hilling up potatoes when grown in the
garden. One potato is safficlent 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.

~ One of the signs of the times
which gives us no little gratifica-
tion is the interest which is now
being manifested on the part of
certuin of our young mea in their
qualification and registration as
yoters. Thisis as it should be
and meets our heartiest_ commen-
dation and approval. For a loag
‘time, we have striven to impress
.upon our men, both young and
old, the duty which they owe
their state and country as _regis-
tered voters, As a registered
“¥ater, one reserves to,himself the
right to say who shall and who
shall not hold office in his com-
munity. In the exercise of such
aright, he virtually makes him-
self a part of the government. In
a large measure he has to do with
the making of thelaws. The con-
duct of officials is reviewed by
_him and upon the same he passes
judgment. ‘The future prosperi-
ty of his community is largely
determined by the way in which
he exercises his right of franchise.
‘What a sacred duty then rests up-
onthe men who votes! What a
sacred duty fs left undone by the
man who fails to qualify himself
inorderthathe might exercise his
right of franchise! Judging by
the few with whom we have come
in contact, the calibre, of our
young men who are now interest-
ing themselves in the making of
themselves full-fledged citizens, we
have no hesitancy in saying that
they are those whose embodiment
of manly qualities make us duly
proud of them. The Tribune
would be delighted to see a regis-
tration list made up of: at least
five thousand Negroes. It can be
and ought tobe had. We regard
it asa sore reflection on our peo-'
ple fo note that after these many’
years of freedom andenlightenment,
Jess than nine hundred of our
people in the proud county of
Chatham -have made themselves
able to vote. The young xen
who are now registering them-
selves as voters ought to be
commended. They ought to be
encouraged. They have taken a
step in the right direction, Be-
lieving as we do, itis our sincer-
est desire that others may follow
in their footsteps and do likewise.
Ot unusual gratification to u:
is the apparent adamantine tena-
city of purpose with which the
teachers of the city are possessed
with regard to the prospective
convention of the National Asso-
“ciation of Teachers’in Colored
Schools, despite the feeble at-
tempt of the promoter and a few
of his spineless followers to make
it appear that everything is rose-
ate and that the people have for-
gotten the ignorement which was
theirs in the extending of the
invitation to the National body.
The teachers still feel, and they
haye a right to, that they should
have been consulted in the matter
of the entertainment of guests at
their private homes. ‘Chis has
not been done, neither before the
invitatiot! was extended nor
since. In refusing to give their
supporé to the entertainment of
the visiting teachers, the local
teachers, are acting within their
Fights end while the visitors are
made the innocent center of the
diffioulty, which is to be regrett-,
ed, yet,by force of circumstances
this coald not be avoided. Th°
present attempt, through wide-
spread publication to make it ap-
peat that all goes well, is of lit-
tle consequence. Here and there
may be found jelly fishes who in
order to Bain a place on the pro-
gramme, muy fall back on their
words, but we believe. that the
rank aud file of the teachers will
stand up to the end against furtb-
er asurpition of their rights
by an individual on account
.of their spirit of forgiveness and
and forgetfulness.
The recent ‘decision of the
South Atlantic Medical Associa-
tion to prosecute to the limit all
quack doctors or persons prac-
ticiay medicine wichout u license,
found in this section, rings true
of the noble profession which its
members represent. There can
beno doubt in any one’s mind
thattbere are many so-called
“doctors” who have never seen
within the walls of a medical col-
lege. ‘They are to be found in
nearly every community where
they wax and grow fat upon the
gullibility of a few. They ply
their wares consisting of herbs,
roots, bark, highly celored water
and the like, sometimes under
cover and sometimes epenly. As
a result, many of our people who
‘are easily fooled, lead themselves
to an early grave by allowing
these usurpers to serve them ina
supposed-to-be medical capacity,
when as a matter of fact, tho
quacks are simply filching them
out of their hard earned money
and in nine "cases out of ‘ten, ag-
gravating a disease which some
licensed doctor could arrest easi-
ly. Our people throughout the
city can but applaud this recant
move on the part of the associa-
tion. Thoy are aiming their fire
in the right direction. Slowly
perhaps but surely, the root doc-
tor, the quack and the like must
go. The superior intelligence
of the ‘times demands this. The
South Atlantic Medical Associa-
tion is now blazing the way for
the absolute extermination of the
quack and root man. Let the
people of the community rally as
one man to the support of this
movement which has so much to
do with the health and longevity
of our people.
Among the Masons
THE BESETTING ‘SIN
Every now and then there is a
special cry goes up to Leayen on
behalf of the sick. We hear
plenty of sermons in and around
the Lodge rooms about the duty
of'the strong to aid the weak, the
prosperous to assist the tempor-
arily disteessed, the well to visit
the sick, andsoon; but—words,
idle words.
Selfishness is the besetting sir
of Americans. No denying that.
Excuses for remissness are free
and easy and have to be accepted.
But why should so little heed be
taken of the sick? The Lodge
will send a bouquet, no deubt; so
we let it go at that. :
A few days ago I learned that a
brother was lying in one of our
hospitals, dangerously ill. I said:
“PH go over tosee him.” That
evening I allowed some trivial af-
fair to take meeclsewhere. Nest
morning I called up the hospital
and was told that the patient had
apparently rested well the preyvi-
ous night and seemed improving.
Isaid: ‘*Y'll go to See him.” That
evening I was detained at the of-
fice beyond the hour for admitting
visitors. I again called up the
hospital and was told that the pa-
tient was sinking’ and no visitors
would be allowed. Next dav he
was dead. ‘That? all. ’
Iam telling you this, brothers
—and it’s absolutely true—just to
emphasize the point that selfish-
ness.is our besetting sin, whether
we are willing to admit it or no.
It doesn’t help matters thatI try
to console myself with the excuse
that my intentions were-good. ~ I
did not think it worth while to
put myselt to a little extra trouble
to yisit a dying brother. T’ll
make no further excuses for my-
self nor for any one else who 1s
too deeply engrossed in his own
affairs to consider for a moment
those less fortunate.— Masonic
Sentinel
SLIPSHOD PROCESSIONS.
The Masosic.fraternity owes it
to itself to maintain dignity and
decorum in its public appearances.
Not long ago the writer chancéd to
be in an Illinois town on business
and noticed 2 Masonic funeral
procession coming down thestreet.
Being interested in everythiug
that the fraternity does he stopped
to watch it pass by. The breth-
ren werestraggling along without
proper intervals between the
marching files, some wore gloves
and some were without. Some
had their aprons concealed under
the coat, while such as were in
evidence showed ue acquaintance
with the lauodry. Some carried
canes and some were smoking.
The whole appearance was? oarg-
less, slovenly and indecorous.,
The proper clothing for al] Ma-
sonic appearances is dark apparel,
clean white gloves and aprons and.
no canes, umbrellasorcigars. The
world judges the fraternity by
what it sees of it. and no lodge
‘can properly reflect the high
standards of Masonry which is
careless or negligent in its public
appearance.—Illinois Freemason.
BEAUTY OF FREEMASONRY
Beauty is indispensible in Na-
ture and Freemasonry. Without
ita Masonic Lodge cannot exist,
for the beauty column is one of
its three supports. There must
he etitn fo ee oe
to support and beauty to adorn all
works. Everywhereand in every
being and thing there is beauty,
and to “love the beautiful” is a
Masonic duty as well as privilege.
Freemasonry is defined as “'s
beautiful system of morality, veil-
ed in ullegory, and illustrated by
symbols.”” The Corinthian col-
umn is the architectural symbol of
beauty, and the sun, at meridian
heighth, is sublime natural em-
blem. Thenet work. lily work
and pomgranates on the famous
pillars of the Tewple of Solomon,
and the decuratious of the Temple
itself, all proclaim the importance
and essentialness of beauty in
Freemasonry. The use of the lily
in all this ornamentation speaks
volamesin behalf of the Masonic
idea of beauty, for it is a symbol
of divinity, parity, abundanceand
Jove, complete,in perfection, char-
ity and benediction, and it out/
rivals Solomon in all his glory.
It also is a symbol of the world,
as wellas the most excellent ‘of
the flowers. This being true, it
especially become, all Freemasons
to cultivate the beautiful in mor-
als, in manhood, and in all the af-
fairs of life. By so doing they
will attain the beauty of mind,
and heart, and soul, that is diyine-
ly approved and blessed and that
endures eternally.—John W.
Brown, in Square and compass.
THE THREE LODGES
The old leetures of the eigh-
teenth century taught symbolical-
ly that there wére three lodges
opened at three different periods
in Masonic history; these were the
Holy Lodge, the Sacred Lodge
and the Royal Lodge. The Holy
Lodge was opened in the taberna-
cle in the wilderness, and over it
presided Moses, Aholiab and
Bezaleel; the Sacred Lodge was
opened on Mount Moriah during
‘the building of the first Temple,
and was presided over by Solo-
mon King of Israel, Hiram King
of Tyre and Hiram the Builder
the Royal Lodge was opened
among the ruins of the first [em-
ple, at the building of the secpnd,
and was presided over by Joslia,
Zerubbabel and Haggai. Thov
presented as a tradition, it is real>
ly only a symbol intended to illus-
trate three important events in
the progress of Masonie science.
—Mackey.
Devotion to God and devotion
tocountry go together unitedly
in the history of the world, says
the Voive-Review. Reyerence
and patriotism as twin qualities
mutually supporteach other. The
Masonic Order. thegefore in its
beautiful teaching of'reverence to
God and sacred things necessarily
promotes a‘true spirit of loyalty
to country on the part of its
members,

To see those christian women approach the communion rail in such a large number with great devotion was very impressive and edifying both for colored and white people who witnessed that happy event. High mass will begin at 10:30 a. m. Our christier prepared a beautiful musical program for the occasion. At 8 p. m., frosary, sermon and
benediction of the blessed sacrament. The annual Easter festival for the benefit of the church is to be given at Harris street hall on Tuesday April 14th: Our annual great picnic to Daufuskie Island takes place this year on July 14th. A joyful Easter to all. But let us continue to attend very regularly and doyoutly the church service as we have done so nicely during the season of lent.

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 counting, and the hills in the parks and many of the streets have been alive with little people making the best of the welcome opportunity. The smiling little lady in the picture is Mary Thatcher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Thatcher of New York city, Little Miss Thatcher, who looks somewhat, like an Eskimo baby in her winter clothes, was shoveling snow with an elder sister for a companion when the camera man happened along and took her picture. She was pleased with the idea of being photographed and posed very prettily.

Baby members may discover in paper bags many possibilities for amusement and exercise for their children. They will prove a boon on many a sunny day. A small bag inflated and tightly tied makes an excellent air ball to be thrown upward with the poke 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 places 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 still 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 have a pulling man as well. Some have one, two and three donkeys to aid in the pulling, and some are equipped with a sail to obtain the help of favorable winds. The equipment depends on the load carried, the maximum load being about a ton.-Chicago Journal.
Aurora Bersalis.
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 roay 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.

In the'copper mines of Michigan rats

Poultry experience seems to point
to the fact that seldom {s it profitable

be a very close connection between

prevalence of the disease.
Plowing may be straight so far“as
the furrow is concerned, yet be pretty
poor work as regards the condition In
which it leaves the soil. Good plowing
not only means straight furrows, but
that which is deep enough for the re-
quirements of the crop to be raised,
the character of the «soil and the
amount of moisture which will be
available. Purthermore, good plowing
should be such that it will cover all
vegetable matter turned under so that
subsequent disking or harrowing will
-not disturb it.
While it is well to lay a good deal of
stress upon sowing or planting the best:

essary that the soil in which the seed
Is to be placed should be in the best
possible condition. Probably in a ma-
jority of cases where poor crop yields
are received the hasty and ill prepara-
tion of the seed bed is doubtless chief-
ly responsible. This is a very natural

‘Abyssinia fs one of the countries to

habitants. They prefer to call them-
selves Ethiopians, and it certainly Is a
fine old name, which makes even Mene-
Uk’s alleged descent from Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba seem 2 modern
detail, for the Ethiopians, according
to the Greeks, were the frst inbabit-
aats of the earth, of, at any rute, the

A Precisian.
‘A New York physician who has re-
eently transferred his activities to the
‘Hab tells of 2 Bostonian who, ‘like
most of bis townsmen, fs a precisian
in the matter of English and who had
occasion not long ago to consult the
aforesaid doctor.
After ascertainment of symptoms the
physician said:
“What you need more than anything
else is a tonic in the shape of fresh

“Before we proceed further would

of fresh air?"—Lippincott’s.
‘The Crab In the Oyster.
“The ttle crab found in the oyster,”
said a dealer, “is not, as supposed by

tinct species. It is a messmate of
amd caterer to the wants of the oys-
ter, belng, therefore, a benefit instead
of a detriment to’ the latter. In re-
torn for the ‘oysters kindness in pro-
tecting it against its enemies the lit-
tle crab catches and crushes food

Unneighberly Noises.
Lack of neighborly responsibility
seems to be conspienous through all
Tanks 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 interripting, just
23 you can excuse the yells of the
itinerant vegetable.or fruit vender who
erles 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 tho roof or in
the back yard, because you know the
cleaning must be done, and it is being
performed in the only locality that pro-
sents itself.
But what good ts gained by the un-
necessary honking$ of an automobile
which wake the echoes of your street
at midnight? Why should the golleé¢-
fors of ashes a oe ey ‘un-
Recessary nols: 1} discharge of

Rings For Bridegroome.
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 {s
ynarried 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 en-
gagement token; the larger the stone
the more thé girl loved to flash it.
Now a diamond fs used if the girl
wishes it, but it 1s cut and set in some
individual manner and is made with
the promise that no duplicates will be
sold.
Some new rings are being shown
which on first appearance seem to be
very handsome seals, but on closer ex-
amination show that they are to be di-
vided when the “time” comes into two
separate rings. They are made to or-
der, as is much of the jewelry worn
nowadays by those who wish to have
exclusive styles in thelr articles of
adornment,
Table Manners.
‘When we consider good table man-
ners in a general way there Is one
point -that is emphasized. Quietness
without hasté is the thing that will do
more than anything to give attractive
table manners. Any one can be quiet
and dignitied, It may be a difficult
thing to master the uses of the differ-
ent utensils and to keep in mind the
order of courses; it may seem a stu-
pendous task to review the different
positions und ways of eating different
foods, but it is the easlest thing in the
world to do things in 2 quiet man-
ner. 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.
Danéing Etiquette.
“When dancing with a young girl,”
asks a perplexed,mascullne reader, “is
it nevessary to continue dancing with
ber—perhaps three or, four dances—
until some other man relieves you by
asking the girl for a dance? Is there
no way in which 2 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, explain-
ing 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 relleves you of this duty.
* Street Introductions.
An introduction is not always neces-
sary when people meet on a public
street, but it prevents 2 momentary
embarrassment to say, “Miss O., Mr.
M.” Such an introduction need not be
considered a basis for a future ac
quaintance. 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
ita point always to knock on her door
before entering, and if yon have occa.
sion to go to the kitchen fn the even-
ing always knock there too. If prac:
tieable do not disturb ber at night.

- MBS DELANO AND HER MEDAL.
|. fhe Red Cross society, whose work
for humanity bas been so great, has
enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It
has established a; town and country
nursing service through whose instru-
mentality the dwellers in even tsolated
communities may be assured of proper
care in times of illness. The object of
this ts to encourage tho employment of
visiting nurses in remote districts
| where it is difficult to obtain the serv-
tees of a physician.
| It was through Miss Jane A. Delano,
‘chairman of the national committee
‘on nursing service, that this new de-
partment of the work was established.
Because of the splendid efficlency to
which she has brought the nursing
‘work of the Ited Cross the gold medal
of merit has been awarded to Miss De-
lano by the president. In presenting
her with the medal President WiJeon
vaid:
“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 en-
rolled in the Red Cross for active serv-
ico in time of war or disaster. Not only
has this large corps been enrolled, but
by means of 110 local committees x
system has been established that en-
ables the Red Cross t6 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 dis-
tinguished members of the nursing pro-
fession in America. She bad estab-
shed a high reputation before she
Joined the Ied Cross. She fs a gradu-
ate of the Bellevue Training School
For Nurses. Wer first Case is said to
have Leen that of the late Abram S.
Hewitt, then mayor of New York. She
dlstingnisbed herself by her work in
the yellow fever epidemic In Florida.
She has held important positions tn the
west, in Philadelphia and in Buffato.
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 Usoful Accessories.
Manufacturers of fine leather goods
are offering exquisite novelties in trar-
eling bags and cases, which are much
smaller in size than the heavy, old
fashioned types of bags. The respon-
sibility for the change les with the
modern taste for motoring. The wa
man of 1914 covers such distances
and her belongings must be so mod-
erate in size and 0 easily packed that
designers have been at work turning
out the most elegant as well us the
most convenient form of tollet ap-
paratus.
The party bag is a mere trifle to
handle and looks almost like a hand-
kerchief 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
tollet. Just a little frame keeps all
the gold, allver gilt or enameled trifles
together, and the contents are all that
is required.
‘The pravalling taste leans to easily
folded or drawn bags, and some novel-
Hes consist of round models of the
fanest Jeather, so soft as to crush into
Yery small space. Inside 1s a frame,
and into this are fitted the lttle im-
Plements of the tollet. A tiny halr-
brush Is sef into gold, gilt, enamel or
inlaid ivory or tortoise shell. The comb
is decorative, and there are smal} pots
for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bot-
tles for perfume, a miniature tooth-
brush, diminutive manicure imple-
‘ments and a Jong thin roll of metal
matching the setting of the case that
turns out to be a receptacle for needles,
cotton and other trifies to mend a rent.
‘The center of some of these collaps-
ible bags is fitted with a waterproof
compartment for a sponge.
Color enters into many of these fan-
eiful cases, a green leather bag or
case containing red, or rose colored

Discovery of Turtle Soup.
According to some authorities, Bris
tol has 2 special claim to fame as the
city where tirtle soup was invented
by a seventeenth century mayor, who
was also a shipowner. The captain of
one of his ships brought home a live
tartte, thinking that his worship would
Uke 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 corpdration was s0 de-
Ughted with the novelty that it re-
elected its host to the municipal chait
nine times running.—London Chron!-

: 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 perfame 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 {s a com-
posite 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

City Star.
something of Valdosta the Metropolis of Wires Grass Georgia
To know, rightly, what the city of Valdosta is and to understand, somewhat, the broad hospitality of its citizens, it will be necessary to visit the city and to mingle with its people. Statistics may tell the story of its population, geography may enable one to point out its location and display cards may delineate its beauty, to an extent, but none of these, all of these combined, will fail to place the real beauty and wealth of the city and the remarkable hospitality of its citizens plainly before one's eyes.
Located in the south center of "wire grass" Georgia, Valdosta is beyond cavil, its capital. As such it draws upon this fertile section of Georgia for its marketable products as a magnet draws upon steel fibre. Being in contiguous territory to Brooks county, famous as being the richest and most productive of Georgia's counties, the products of this great unit of the state are plentiful in its markets, being a splendid supplement to the many, valuable food products native to the soil of Lowndes. The markets of the city are, consequently, well supplied and the thrift and industry of the citizens make it impossible that any of these products grow stale.
The relationship of the races is congenial, each race recognizing in a business way the rights and privileges of the other and each combines with the other to make the hum of industry ever audible to the ear of progress. Right in the midst of the largest business places of the city, the Negro business men have shied their castors and are plying their trade. Patterson street for both residences and business is one of the main thoroughfares. The Thos. Hudson Investment Company is on this street and owns the two story brick building in which it is located. The Rev. A. B. Walton, undertaker, is on this street and is doing an excellent business. Mr. Duckett's drug store is on this street and is kept busy dispensing his wares. Doctors Miller, Stricklin, the Union Mutual and the Pilgrim's Health and Life Insurance Companies are all on Patterson street and occupy rooms of the Investment Company's building. There is no friction whatever but peace and happiness reign supreme. It is impossible to remember all of the prominent business men and fellow-citizens we met in Valdosta. It is well, therefore, to note a few because in this great city one is all, and all are one in thought and sentiment. The tremendous volume of trade in the city has such propelling forces as Thomas Hudson, the Larkins, Mr. Johnson. These gentlemen and many others are doing good business along the grocer's line and are being patronized by all the people. In fact, there is no question of patronage in Valdosta, no agitation is needed.
Profs. Wiley and McDew are teaching young "Ideas to shoot" and we were pleased to note the splendid work of Prof. Wiley. It was not our pleasure to see Prof. Dew in action; but we feel safe in believing that in a march of progress such as is seen in the city of Valdosta, all units are busy in giving it impetus. Mr. and Mrs. McKinzie, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Walton and that prince of good fellows G. Taylor exhausted endeavor to make our visit pleasant. The entire people of Valdosta joined and we are indebted to them all for the splendid manner which made us leave Valdosta reluctantly but fagged and sleepy.
Edward Winfred Sherman.
St. Paul Church
Sunday was high day at St. Paul. The church was packed Sunday evening. Four members were added. The members seem to be highly encouraged and look forward for a success during Easter week. All friends are invited to be present, program beginning Sunday night April 13th, and continuing until Sunday night April 19th.
Palen Memorial M. E. Church.
The superintendent of the Sunday school is putting forth great efforts to increase the school. Our church is looking forward with much anticipation to the rally. Rev. C. Prothro, pastor, preached an inspiring sermon Sunday night. Mrs. L. Lovett, Mrs. Johns and Miss Georgia Herd have the children in charge for Easter exercises Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.
Milk and dry when the sun shines

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 cat first or let the stuff alone entirely.
Apple sauce cake is funch enjoyed by those who have eaten it. The following recipe is one that is published by a lady at Black River Falls, Ws.: 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 some trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When cornmeal was substituted for shelled corn the runt began to pick up immediately. The natural inference from this was that its teeth were out of whack.
Scores of young orchards are going to pot every year because the owners think 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, 548 pounds; soaked cornmeal, 520 pounds. In making rapid 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.

P. B. B. Church
On Sunday morning Rev. Wright conducted the services at Nicolsonboro Baptist Church at Nicolsonville. He returned to the city in the afternoon. At night he read for the lesson Matt. 11-10. The honored guests of the church were the Sons and Daughters of Elijah and their juvenile, Beacon Light Branch. Quite an interesting history was read by their secretary, Mrs. J. Williams. Rev. Wright responded most heartily. His subject was "The parting of Elijah from Elijah." Don't forget the revival. You are always welcome.

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.
As It Waa Revealed.
Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon' than a poor new one. Edward Everett Hale, stay where you are and go a-fishing!"—Boston Cooking School Magazine.

'A good head; and industrious hand are worth gold in any land.'—Dutch Proverb.

Little Eva brought a comb and brush to her mother and said, "Mamma, please make a pathway in my hair."

"Oh, pa, my Harold is so handsome he is a perfect picture!"
"That's all right, but you let him know that when I stamp my feet upstairs he's to get busy and be a moving picture."—Baltimore American.
