ANNUAL NEGRO SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES WILL BE HELD FRIDAY MAY 8TH 10 VOLUME XXIX FIFTEEN SCHOOLS WILL BE REPRESENTED IN THE EVENTS Biggest Crowd in the History of Baseball Park Expected Out— One Hundred Fifty Dollars to Be Given Away in Prizes—All Schools to Close at OneO'clock Over Three HundredBoys to Compete—Brass Band will be On Hand On May 8th, Friday, the annual Negro school children's races will be held at the baseball park and the affair gives promise of being the biggest athletic drawing card of this nature that has ever been pulled off at the local park, and this regardless of the fact that there were 4,200 paid admissions to the races last year and 3,100 the previous year. At a meeting of the executive board of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association held last week the matter of staging the races this spring was discussed and it was unanimously decided to hold the event on the 8th of next month. For the past two years the races have received at least one months advertisement prior to the holding of the event, but on account of the organizing of the school boys' baseball league this spring and not wishing to have the two affairs conflict in any respect thereby dividing the interests of the boys, it was deemed expedient not to start work on the races until the league had gotten well under way. Therefore the committee in charge of the races set to work this week to get things in shape and judging from the interest already evinced by the boys and the general public since positive knowledge to the effect that the races would be held was given out by the association last Saturday a tremendous crowd will be at the park on May 8th. Up to yesterday fifteen schools have signified a desire. to take part in the event, with the possible addition of four more coming by Wednesday. Of the schools entered twelve have already selected their captains and with the appearance today of the program of events to be run the work of selecting the teams will begin the first thing next week and all the contestants given in the next issue of The Tribune. The committee on program has lessened the number of events this year and by so doing the program in entirety will be easily carried out. There are twenty events scheduled, five of which are comiques, and the program is so arranged according to age limits as to give the smaller schools an equal chance with the larger ones of winning the honors of the afternoon. If it is possible to get a sufficient number of open entries, several of the events now confined to schools will likely be changed. Permission to close the city schools at one o'clock the day of the races was granted by Superintendent Ashmore last week The Savannah and it is more than likely that the private schools will also be given an hour or two off. It is estimated by the contest committee that there will be at least three hundred boys in the races and as the boys all have a fairly good general knowledge of what is expected of them in the events to be run a beautiful fight for the city championship is anticipated. As it is the desire of the association promoting the races to have the afternoon one of genuine pleasure and enjoyment a brass band has been engaged for the event and the park on that day will be one continuous bedlam of fun and music during the entire afternoon. The funds for defraying the expenses of the meet were retained by the association out of last year's receipts of the races and the committee on prizes will award in round numbers about one hundred and fifty dollars to the succesful contestants. There will ofcourse be a ticket selling contest and it is very probable that this will be conducted among the girls. Definite information will be given out concerning this contest on Wednesday. An important meeting of the association will be held at the annex of the Congregational church on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at which final arrangements for the races will be made. The following are some of the schools, with their captains, that will atke part in the meet: School Captain West Broad Street...Zeke Bird Beach Institute...Jerry Nesbit Cuyler Street...Willie Horton Catholic ...Clyde Mordecai Presbyterian ...Geo. Josey Swangin ...Eddie Brown Berean B. Academy...L. Green Forest City...Robt. Burgess Foster School ...C. Johnson Patterson School ...B. Green St. Augustine...R. Ferebee Dennis School...J.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 14 THE NEGRO WORKING OUT HIS OWN SALVATION At present the drift of Negro population in the South is distinctly countryward. During the last census period our Negro population in general increased barely 10 per cent, but our Negro farm population increased more than 20 per cent. Just the reverse tendency is true among the white of every Southern state except Kentucky. In Mississippi during the last census period Negro farmers increased at a rate nearly two and a half times greater than the rate of increase for Negro population in general, and in Georgia at a rate nearly three and a half times greater. In every state of the South, except Arkansas and Oklahoma, the Negro is a dwindling ratio of of population in general, but he is an increasing ratio of population in the farm regions, Louisiana alone excepted. On the other hand, the Negro is a decreasing ratio of population in the cities of the South. In 1900 thirty-three Southern cities, each containing 25,000 or more inhabitants, had a Negro population amounting to 10 per cent or more. During the following census period, in all of these cities except Fort Worth, Negro population lagged behind the rates of white increased, in some of them far behind; as, for instance, in Atlanta and Macon. In others there was an actual loss of Negro population. Between 1865 and 1880 the towns and cities of the South seemed in fair way of, being overrun and overwhelmed by the Negroes. In 1910 it became evident that the Negro was resisting the lure of city life and sticking to the farm better than the Southern white man. Some 50,000 Negroes are engaged in the various professions, mainly teaching, preaching, medicine, and law; some 30,000 more are engaged in various business enterprises, some of them with conspicuous success and distinction. But here, all told, are fewer than 100,000 upward-moving Negroes. On the other hand, 2,500,000 Negroes are engaged in agricultural pursuits as day laborers, tenants, and owners. With their families, they represent more than four-fifths of their race in the South, and they cultivate 100,000,000 acres of our farm land, or two-thirds of our total improved acreage. The Negro, then, is widely choosing or blindly moving, to work out his own salvation as a race, not in city but in country civilization. In the farm regions he is achiev ing a new economic status. He is rapidly rising out of farm tenancy into farm ownership. In a large way he is coming to be a landed proprietor. During their first twenty years of freedom the Negroes made little headway in land ownership. They were absorbed either in politics or in religion, and this is particularly true of the leaders. The constructive achievements of the race were most marked in the direction of church building and church organizations. But during the last thirty years the Negroes of the South have come to feel that bank books and barns are more important than ballot boxes. At all events they appear in the 1910 census not as farm workers or tenants merely, but as owners in large numbers. Nearly one-fourth of all the Negro farmers in the South own Sacred Conce. sacred-musical will be renal at St. Stephen's church to low night, at 8 o'clock, under cuspices of the Men's Club of St. Stephen's church. A most coral invitation is extended by everybody to come out and enjoy the excellent program, which will, for the most part, consist of the finest selections by the world's greatest artists, rendered on Victor Records. These records are the finest produced and it will be well worth your effort to hear them on Sunday night at St. Stephen's. Aside from this feature of the program, there will be several charming numbers rendered by the choir. Come early, so that you will not miss any of the numbers. the farm they cultivate. In Florida they own nearly one-half of them, in Kentucky and Oklahoma more than one-half of them, in Maryland and Virginia more than three-fifths of them, and in West Virginia nearly four-fifths of them. In less than fifty years the Negro has acquired possession of twenty million acres of farm land. Altogether his farm properties are valued at $500,000,000. Negro landholdings in the aggregate make an area a little larger than the State of South Carolina. The Russian serfs, after fifty years of freedom, have not made greater headway. They have not done so well, indeed, in their conquest of illiteracy. True, cropping and share tenancy are increasing in the South faster than cash or standing-rent tenancy with its larger measure of independent self-direction nearly seven times as fast during the last census period. But wherever land is abundant or labor scarce, or white farmers are moving out, the Negro rises out of share tenancy into cash tenancy and out of cash tenancy into ownership. During the last census period the Negroes of the South increased less than 10 per cent in population, but they increased 17 per cent in the ownership of farms against a 12 per cent increase of white farm owners. In Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina the farms cultivated by white owners increased. only 9 per cent, but the farms cultivated by Negro owners increased 19, 21, and 22 per cent in the order named. In Arkansas, while white farm owners increased 8 per cent, Negro farm owners increased nearly 23 per cent. In Georgia the white farm owners increased only 7 per cent, but Negro farm owners increased 38 per cent. Even in Louisiana, where there was an actual loss of Negro farm population, there was an increase of 14 per cent in the number of Negro farm owners. In 283 counties, or nearly one third of all the counties of ten Southern States, the Negroes are in a majority. In sixty-one of these counties Negro farm owners outnumber the white farm owners. This is true of 5 counties in Georgia, 6 in Oklahoma, 8 in Arkansas, 11 in Mississippi, and 17 in Virginia. The Negro farmer now owns $37,000,000 worth of farm implements and tools, $177,000,000 worth of farm animals, $273,000,000 worth of farm lands and buildings. During the last ten years he has nearly doubled his wealth in farm implements, more than doubled his wealth in farm animals, and nearly trebled his wealth in farm lands and buildings. In Georgia, in 1910, the farms cultivated by white owners numbered 82,930, an increase of 5776, or 7 per cent, during the ten years. The farms cultivated by Negro owners numbered 15,700, an increase of 4324, or 38 per cent during this period. The rate of Negro increase in farm ownership in Georgia is more than five times the rate of white increase during the last census period. In 1880 Georgia Negroes owned 580,664 acres of farm land, but in 1910 they owned 1,607,970 increase during the thirty years Negro property upon the, the tax digests of Georgia now amounts to $34,000,000.

E. church, Gwinnett and West Broad streets. The meeting promise to be very interesting and will be presided over by the president. Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, of New York, one of the associate directors of the national body, will be present at the meeting and will likely address the gathing. It will be remembered that it was subsequent to a former visit of Mr. Jones to the city, at which time he placed before a gathering of citizens at the Wage Earners bank the work of the national leabue, that the local branch got its ideas and was a short time afterward started. Mr. Jones will remain in the city for some time and direct the work here. All of the members of the league are requested to be out and to bring their friends. The league has been doing effective work in this city and the presence of Mr. Jones to direct the work will be greatly appreciated by the citizens in general. Asbury Church On Sunday there was a large congregation out to hear the pastor's message. Sunday morning prayer meetings are proving a success. The revival was continued until this week and we are having a few conversions and the spiritual interest, is very gratifying. Rev. Holmes of Statesboro, Ga., is conducting the meetings. Rev. Stripling preached at 8:30 p.m. We are thankful that the attendance is increasing every night. Following services tomorrow: Preaching at 11 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. by pastor, class meeting Tuesday night and Epworth League. Seventh-day Adventists Church Number 2. The subject "Court Week In Heaven" or "The Great Judgement now in Sessioh," created much interest to a large congregation last Sunday night. Evangelist J. W. Manns made it very plain that cases of the dead are now being decided in heaven. Don't fail to hear him Sunday night. Subject "The Hole In the Wall" or "Should Christians be Members of Secret Societies?" All are welcome. Good singing at 8 o'clock.

The inter-scholastic baseball season was ushered in with great enthusiasm last Saturday. The East Broad Streets lowered the colors of the Independents, the team which at the last moment before the game had its name changed from Catholics because of the inability to secure sufficient Catholic school boys to justify the team in bearing the name, to the tune of 11 to 6, while on the west side the Beach Institute was trimming the West Broads, by the count of 11 to 7. The westside game was particularly enthusiastic because of the presence of the large number of girls from the two contesting schools while at the other game there were no girls to add to the thrills of the afternoon. At today's games both on the east and west sides the attendance will be much larger than last Saturday and the girls of all the schools will be present. Coaches Tyson and Bryan had their charges whipped into excellent shape and some real classy playing was done. All promise even better performances today, when the East Broad and Beach clash at Bolton and Atlantic avenue, and the West Broad and Independents at 37th and Bulloch streets. The officials in last Saturday's games were Dr. O. C. Clayborne and Mr. W. H. Logan, on the east side, and Mr. Geo. W. Jacobs and Mr. Mathew Jones, on the west side. The indicators were handled in great style and the games were played quickly. For the West Broad the particular stars were Captain Deas and Zeke Bird, who pitched the last four innings of the game; for the Beach the work of Jerry Nesbit and Harmon stood out conspicuously, while in the East Broad-Independent game Freddie Jones, Tyson, Pettic and Mordecai were most widely commented upon. Today the games will be West Broad against the Independents at 37th and Bulloch streets, Jacobs and Smith officials, East Broad against Beach at Bolton and Atlantic avenue, Maxwell and Clayborne officials. In order that the fans might have their thirst quenched Young Brothers, confectioners, were on hand with ices. The games every Saturday begin promptly at 2 o'clock. There is an effort being made to raise a sufficient fund to purchase a trophy to be given the leading batter at the end of the season and this is stimulating the boys in no small degree. CENTRAL PRESS NUMBER 31 JERLEY YHRH T1H23W CASTION OF BEACH Investigations which have been carried on of late into the habits of the stable or "horsefly"—the one that bites—seem to indicate that this particular fly is responsible for the spread of infantile paralysis among human beings and a disease closely resembling this which has been fatal to horses in some sections. A community co-operative laundry is to be established in Polk county, WI. in connection with the local co-operative creamy. This is the result of the offer of $300 for such an enterprise by a local banker and a like prize by Professor Henry of the State Agricultural college. The laundry is to be organized along the same lines as the one at Chattfield, Minn., which has been in successful operation for the past year. Celery cabbage is the name of a new horticultural product which has lately appeared in some of the larger markets. It resembles large stalks of celery, with the exception that the tops look like head lettuce. The taste is chiefly that of cabbage with a slight celery flavor. The vegetable is used for slaw, salad, in soups, cooked with meat and for garnishing. It may also be eaten raw with salt or cooked like cannflower. The importation of eggs into this country from Russia and China duty free is sure to decrease the price which the poultry raisers of the country will receive for their eggs, but it will also put a crimp in the game which the cold storage chaps in large centers have been playing for years past of buying eggs of the country merchant at from 15 to 18 cents per dozen in the warmer months of the year and getting from 40 to 60 cents per dozen for them in the winter. A satisfactory formula for making grafting wax is as follows: Take one pound of tallow or linseed oil, two pounds of beeswax and four pounds of rosin. Melt these ingredients together slowly and pour while still hot into a tub of cold water. When the mixture is cool enough to handle it should be molded into balls of convenient size with the bare hands, and the balls should be wrapped in greased paper and laid away for use. If the weather during which the wax is to be used should be warm the amount of rosin should be slightly increased. For all practical purposes a cubic foot of silage in the lower half of a silo will weigh about fifty pounds. Hence to ascertain the weight of silage remaining in the silo it is only necessary to get the number of cubic feet. This is determined by multiplying the diameter of the silo by itself and the result by 78, which will give the area in square feet of the surface, and multiplying this result by the depth in feet of the silage will give the cubic contents. The total weight of silage would be got by multiplying the cubic contents by the weight per foot—fifty pounds. In view of the fact that the price of horses has dropped all the way from $25 to $40 per head for different types, it is the opinion of those who have made a close study of the horse markets that, with prices as they are now, there is little money in raising the lightweight, general purpose horse, with the possible exception of the high class saddle horse. However, there is reason to believe that the demand for the heavy draft animal will continue with prices such that the grower will realize a good margin of profit. The situation above referred to should have a suggestion for the breeders of horses the country over. When a fellow (man or woman) has been through the ordeal of having all the remaining molars in his head yanked out to make room for a mouthful of porcelain grinders it is too late in the game to discourse for the benefit of such unfortunates on the wisdom of having the teeth looked after at least once a year from childhood up. However, folks who have been through the trial referred to, as well as those who have direct knowledge of such trials, should, use their best efforts to see that the teeth of their children and others that they may be interested in are given seasonable attention. It is a good deal cheaper in the long run and would save a heap of irritation and indigestion. A good many farmers are going from the "rain belt," where the annual pre-cipitation is thirty inches or more annually, to sections beyond the one hundredth meridian, fittingly called the "agricultural dead line," where the rainfall is but from ten to twenty inches a year. For such homeseekers it is of the utmost importance to have an open mind and to not cling too tenaciously to methods of handling the soil which have given good results in the sections from which they have come. It would be well to write to the department of agriculture, Washington, for a few of the bulletins on dry farming adapted to the section in which one has settled or plans to settle. More than this, it would be wise to subscribe for a farm journal which takes up the farming methods best adapted to such dry sections. Lastly, it would be well to get into communication with the agricultural college of the state and secure such bulletins as may be available. Having the literature referred to will not bring success to those who are shiftless, stupid or lazy, but they will be of immense help to those who are widenake and energetic and who are interested in doing things in the best way and getting largest returns for the least expenditure of effort. Most any day when the sun shines warm in the south windows of shop and office a stray box elder bug will limber up enough to crawl around in a sluggish, 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 put 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. 1 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 polsonous 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 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 soia, 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 yeaning 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, 544 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. Secretary Houston of the federal department of agriculture has announced that a new bureau is to be created in the department which is to be devoted to the development of labor saving power and devices for farmers. The bill as introduced by Congressman Ralney, which provides for the new department, proposes that the new bureau shall investigate into all matters pertaining to methods of furnishing power on farms and all labor saving machinery, including the use of electricity, gasoline and steam in propelling vehicles and in operating plows, reapers, moving and thrashing machines, etc. It will look into best methods of heating and lighting farm homes and other buildings as well. การสิทธิ We usually think of the corn belt farmer as the one who makes big profits on porchers. There are others. 1. K. Smawley. A farmer living eighty miles south of Spokane, Wash., paid $30 apiece a year ago for three hectre shire pigs at the Lewiston (Ida) stock show. He returned to the same show a year later, and his young pigs won six blue ribbons. As a result of their quality he sold fifteen of the pigs for $35 each, or $25. The owner is now making a tour of the country on the proceeds from these pigs. is likely to fall into While it is well to lay a good deal of stress upon sowing or planting the best of seed and of giving proper cultivation after a crop is up, it is just as necessary that the soil in which the seed is to be placed should be in the best possible condition. Probably in a majority of cases where poor crop yields are received the hasty and ill preparation of the seed bed is doubtless chiefly responsible. This is a very natural error and is one that the farmer who has too many acres and too little help הגדרת שתי פונקציות Flowing 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 requirements of the crop to be raised, the character of the soil and the amount of moisture which will be available. Furthermore, good plowing should be such that it will cover all vegetable matter turned under so that subsequent disking or harrowing will not disturb it. prevalence or the disease. Poultry experience seems to point to the fact that seldom is it profitable to keep beens after they are two years old. A pullet will lay more eggs than a hen in her second year, but as a rule the chicks hatched from such eggs are not so rigorous as those from the older birds. - aty and mildew hay is credited by veterinarians with responsibility for the death of many horses during the past two years in several sections, from so called blind staggers. The specific organism responsible for the disease has not been isolated, but there seems to be a very close connection between eating food of the above character and prevalence of the disease. Arnold Thompson of Cahoy, a Minnesota lad, who some time ago took a course in corn breeding and judging at the local high school, recently captured $25 worth of prizes for exhibits of the Silver King variety of corn. A strip of zinc put on the live coals in the stove or furnace will help materially in ridding the flues and chimneys of soot. A bandful of damp salt put on the fire when the chimney is burning out will tend to stop the blaze. In the copper mines of Michigan rats seem to be viewed as benefactors rather than pests, as they are most everywhere else. In the mines they serve as scavengers. They are protected by the men and are often fed from their dinner nails. Corn is all right for the fattening steer or hog, but it should be fed sparingly to pregnant farm animals. Sac and Ida counties, in Iowa, last year produced 500,000 bushels of popcorn, or more than is grown in any other state in the Union. Present appearances in a weather way would seem to indicate a favorable maple sugar season. The warm days, cold nights and "sugar" snows give promise of a good flow of sap from the sugar bush. According to the latest census reports, Iowa leads all other states in the number of rowls kept within her borders, the number being 23,482,880. Of this number three-fourths are estimated to be egg producers. FARM • ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY FETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED Foxy Fox. Mrs. Fox—Great news, John.

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."

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 "Alligator." 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 "alligaters," 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. Musical. "I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he a swell singer?" answered Mrs. Newrich.-Columbia Jester. In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The litleness of the events and the instruments we are dealing with are forever cheating us out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so.

There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor. Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze. 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 To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked.—London Field. The Real Thing. Mrs. Knicker—Is your husband hard to get along with? Mrs. Bocker—Very. If I give him a poor dinner he wants a divorce and I give him a good din'obbying.—New York The Sleeps Seven. "There were seven of the twelve," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again." "And you had to submit, I suppose, for they constituted the majority?" "Yes. They were a roting majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be facetious. Chicago Tribune. Mexican Hats. A hat such as is worn by Mexicans may cost anywhere from 5 cents to $500. The better ones weigh from six to eight pounds and carry many dollars' worth of silver and gold trimming. YOUNG BROS.

Our Lunches are the best and a temptation for 10 cents. 507 West Broad Street PLEASURE Pleasure has its place in life, but the man who chooses pleasure as the object of his life has no real haven, but is like a boat that beats up and down and drifts to and fro, merely to feel the motion of the wind. When the voyage of life is done he has reached no port, he has accomplished nothing.—Henry van Dyke. Vicious Snipe. A Dublin gentleman was spending his vacation with some friends in the west of Ireland. As he was being driven to his destination he noticed a bog that promised good shooting and asked his jarve if there were any snipe in it. "Shnipe, is it, sor? Did ye say snipe? Shure, if ye wint into that bog widout a gun they'd ate yez!" Triumph of Mind: Victim of Delusion—Doctor, I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend! That is all an illusion of the senses. There is no such thing as fever. You have no fever. You have no br-h'm—no material substance upon which such a wholly imaginary and suppositious thing as a fever could find any base of operation. Victim—Oh, doctor, what a load you have taken from my—from my—I have a mind, haven't I, doctor?—Chicago Tribune. Runawaya. "This paper," said Languid Lewis, "tells about a horse runnin' away with a woman and she was laid up for six weeks." "That ain't so worse," rejoined Boast- ful Benjamin. "A friend of mine once ran away with a horse, and he was laid up for six years."—New York Globe. Favorites of the Gods Abyssinia is one of the countries to which foreigners and their own people have given different names. "Abyssinia" is derived from an Arabic word meaning mixture or confusion, in allusion to the mixed character of the inhabitants. They prefer to call themselves Ethiopians, and it certainly is a fine old name, which makes even Menelik's alleged descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba seem a modern detail, for the Ethiopians, according to the Greeks, were the first inhabitants of the earth, or, at any rate, the first who worshiped the gods. According to Homer, they were the favorites of the gods and the justest of all men.—London Chronicle. A Precisian. A New York physician who has recently transferred his activities to the Hub tells of a Bostonian who, like most of his townsmen, is 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 air." Whereupon the Hubbite waxed sarcastic and inquired: "Before we proceed further would you mind telling me what is the shape of fresh air?"—Lippincott's. The Crab in the Oyster. "The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."-Exchange. The Oldest Treaty. The oldest text of a real treaty now in existence is that of the convention between Rameses II., king of Egypt, and the prince of Kheta, which embraces the articles of a permanent offensive and defensive alliance, with clauses providing for the extradition of emigrants, deserters, criminals and skilled workmen. This treaty was drawn up in the fourteenth century, B. C., and is the earliest record that we have of any international transaction. Brilliant Future. "How long have you been dieting now, Mr. Stout?" "A little more than six months." "Do you notice any beneficial results?" "I should say I did. They are wonderful. I have lost fully two pounds. Think of it! I only have to keep at it for about eighteen years to get down to 200."-Chicago Record-Herald. The Easiest Way. Mrs. Newlywed—That table seems awfully rickety. Why, it creaks if you put your hand to it. Shopkeeper—Well, that's all the style, ma'am. It's built that way on purpose. You can't read an account of fashionable dinner parties without noticing how the tables groaned under the weight of the delicacies. Better take this one, ma'am—New York Post. Good form Unneighborly Noises. Lack of neighborly responsibility seems to be conspicuous through all ranks of society. You can understand the conduct of the knife grinder who blows his horn or rings his bell under your window, regardless of the rest or work he may be interrupting, just as you can excuse the yells of the itinerant vegetable or fruit vender who cries his wares raucously along the street. These noise producers are working for their living, and their calls and clangings are part of their stock in trade. Without them you would not know their goods were offered for sale. You can even tolerate the 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 seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment. Table Manners. When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction. Dancing Etiquette. "When dancing with a young girl" asks a perplexed masculine reader, "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?" The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty. Street Introductions An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C., Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady, does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege. --- Consideration For Servants Respect your maid's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her at night. Some women have a most perictonbabit 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 a dinner time. 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 a 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 does away with that tendency to wear badly or split that was the great drawback with the Magyar style when it first came into 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 weep are of net. Illustrated here is a blouse of embroidered net which is worn with a dainty gown of taffeta. The flounced tunic, trimmed with buttons, gives an exceedingly attractive appearance to the simple little frock. LAUNDRY BOX. A Pedestal Snapped 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 it 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 oilcloth, 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. Came of the Eyes 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 Dissolve half a cupful of shredded white soap in a cupful of hot water. When K 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 fannel 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 white—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 white still hot polish it with a soft cloth. About once a week use a fine, fine powder for polishing. 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 Goust. The republic of Goust is a square unit in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 weavers. They are ruled by a council of elders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civic unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being sld downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side up. Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate"—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup. 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 shippower. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it reelected its host to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle Restaurant Affiliation The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."—Judge. Stevenson Carried Hia 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 Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Samson Agonistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions. A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to stu the laws of evidence. The majorit' persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is rep haunted it is easier to see a gl there than not. Possibly this accounts for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories, and they usually dwindle on investigation, yet they continue to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, translated for the Literary Digest. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us.—Kansas City Star. : We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

The recent dedication of the $75,000 auditorium for Negroes in the city of Atlanta on Tuesday of last week marks an epoch in the history of our people. There can be no gainsaying the fact that the completion of such a costly and magnificent structure gives no little boost to the rating of our people as a constructive force in the community life of our country. To Grand Secretary B. J. Davis, the central figure within whom the auditorium idea originated and whose master mind made possible its realization, must be given the major portion of the credit for the success attendant upon the auditorium building project. And too, to the thousands of hearty Odd Fellows throughout the state who, in the stupendous undertaking just brought to a successful close, answered the call of their leaders most freely and willing, much honor and credit is due. As Dr. Booker T. Washington, the dedicatory orator at the auditorium opening implied, the auditorium building stands as a fitting testimonial to the business and cooperative ability of the black man. The Tribune, as has been her wont in all instances of racial progress, is indeed unusually gratified at this time to note this most notable achievement of members of the race. May the magnificent auditorium building serve as an inspiration to greater achievements to each and all of us. We do not believe that one of the splendid audience which greeted Rabbi Solomon on last Sunday evening at the First Congregational church and listened to his superb address, could have been possessed of a soul so dead as to have been incapable of inspiration from such a talk. There is no denying the fact that the Rabbi seemed to have been at his best. From his introductory remarks to his concluding sentences, the address literally teemed with bright suggestions and ideas as to proper modes and methods in the work of social service. With an enthusiasm manifestly deep-seated and an earnest altogether real, the Rabbi bore his impress upon his hearers as never before. The Brotherhood of the First Congregational church scored a great triumph in securing the services of such an able, and sincere man as Dr. Solomon to deliver an address to our people. The work of charity among our people, which is having such an excellent beginning under the auspices of the Urban League will profit by the inspiration received by the members of the League present at the address. It is indeed well that the address was delivered. No doubt, it will bear fruit. It is decidedly up to our people now to show Rabbi Solomon and the white friends, who, like himself, are interested in our advancement, that we care, willing and determined to merit through hard work among ourselves, the friendship and sympathy which they have for us. A few weeks ago, there was carried in our columns a news article anent a conference between the three principals of the colored public schools and asso- lished appointed committee representing (7) the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. At the conference, as has been stated in our columns, an effort was made by the visiting schoolmen to make reparation for the ignorement which the local teachers had suffered in a matter in which they should have had first hand information if it were to be expected of them to take a leading part in same that time the conference was unavailing. We have it on good authority that the principals to a man gave the committee to understand that while they deeply deplored the fact that matters had so shaped themselves as to make it impossible for them to participate in the entertainment of the teachers next July, yet as a matter of fact they could not do so consistently and maintain their individual respect and honor. After leaving these facts, we thought that the matter was closed, believing as we did, that the men who gave such utterance to their views, had the courage of their convictions to stand by their oars to the end. Imagine our surprise then to read in the columns of a local paper a letter signed by one of these three principals containing information suggestive of the fact that he and a fellow principal have turned a half somersault from their former position in regard to the Association meeting. O. Consistency thou art a jewel! yet, is it true that thou hast suffered a whole relegation to the rear in the recent past? Thanks to our stars we believe that thou hast not. In the rank and file of the teachers of Savannah, there are men and women who will not suffer ignorence or be pulled around blindly for the sake of a few empty eleventh hour honors as heads of committees and parts on programs. We believe that there are men and women who once bitten, will not yield in the present to the sycophantic pleadings of the promoter of the coming convention and his agents who now go around gumshoeing among the people in the interest of the convention. As has been stated before by us, we dislike division among us. Nevertheless there are times when one, in order to maintain self respect and rights personal to himself, must take a stand. This seems to be now. We do not know why the letter published last week was written. We are even inclined to the belief that the inspiration of it was not confined solely to the writer. Yet, we do not know. At any rate, the letter has been published. It stands for itself. Perhaps later developments will show that it did not come straight form the shoulder. However, let us watch and see. In the meantime we congratulate those who refuse to bulge one inch from their former position and who would not allow three hundred dollars recently appropriated by council for the convention to buy them. The Negro Working Out His Own Salvation is country property. Their gains in property ownership in the rural regions of Georgia are amazing, but they appear so uniformly on our tax digests that they have ceased to be surprising. Here, for instance, is one of the sixty-six counties in the black horseshoe belt of the state. The Negroes outnumbered the whites more than four to one. In 1910 they owned nearly one-tenth of all the farm land, nearly one-third of the plantation and mechanical tools, more than one-third of all the household goods and utensils, nearly one half of all the farm-animal, and one-sixth of the total aggregate wealth of the county. In another county there are 1148 Negro farm owners. They outnumber the white farm owners nearly three to one. In the census year only twelve mortgages were recorded against. the Negro farms of this county. In an adjoining county four-fifths of all the farms cultivated by owners are cultivated by Negro owners. In the census year these were no mortgages whatsoever on Negro farms in this county. In my own county in 1910 they owned 8283 acres of land; in one district more than one-fourth and in another nearly one-third of all the farm land. In all, 957 Negroes in the county, or more than one in every three males of voting age, are home or farm owners. Where, they are mainly scattered among white minorities, they make even bigger fishing gains. For instance, here is a county in which the Negroes own 15,146 acres of land. Their gain in the owner-hip of farm animals in ten years was 291 per cent; in plantation and mechanical tools; 297 per cent; and in aggregate wealth, 310 per cent. In the white belt is another county where the whites outnumber the Negroes nearly two to one. But the gain by Negroes in the ownership of plantation and mechanical tools during the census period was 376 per cent; in farm animals, 226 per cent; in Here then, in brief are the facts concerning Negro farm and home ownership in the South. They show that the Negro is a dwindling ratio of population in every Southern state except Arkansas and Oklahoma; that he is an decreasing ratio of population in the cities of the South; but that he is an increasing ratio of population in the farm reigons of every Southern state except Louisiana. They show in every Southern state, without exception, that the Negroes are increasing in farm ownership at a greater rate than the whites; indeed, at rates varying all the way from two and a half to five and a half times the rates of white increase in farm ownership. Of course their farm ownership are small and their acreage relatively little; but they are assuredly getting what Uncle calls a "toe-hold" in the soil. The Southern Negro, then, is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics, not in terms of formal education, but in terms of property ownership; and mainly in terms of land in the rural regions. He is doing this without let or hindrance in the South, largely aside from the awareness of the whites, largely because of their indifference, but even more largely with the sympathy and help of his white friends and neighbors. He is lifting himself up by tugging at his own boot straps, a figure commonly used to indicate an impossible something; but in civilization, as in education, it is the only possible means of elevation. The Negro is emerging from jungleism and winning civilization mainly and necessarily by his own efforts. He is coming out of darkness into light in accord with and in obedience to the laws of development. His progress every inch of the way is marked by struggle—struggle within himself for mastery over himself, and struggle with outward, untoward surrounding circumstances. His real successes are achieved by himself. They cannot be thrust upon him by another. He cannot be coddled into civilization by an overplus of sympathy from friends far and near, North and South. We have tried to civilize the Indian with reservations and free rations, and we have failed. The Negro as a race will never stand really possessed of anything that does not win worthily by himself and forhimself. His gains in property ownership, position, influence, and prominence in economic and civic freedom will keep steady pace with racial efficiency. His destiny will be wrought out in terms biologic, economic, and social; and, as usual, in dumb, blind struggle for self-defensive adjustment to surrounding conditions. The laws of racial development have something like the steady, fateful pull and power of gravitation or any other natural law. These laws can be discovered and manipulated to accelerate or refract progress, just as all the laws of nature can be discovered and harnessed for constructive or destructive purposes. They can be recognized and applied as the laws of electricity have been recognized and applied. They cannot be invented and willed into operation by individual bumptiousness or legislative blindness. The Negro problem will not be solved by editorials, creeds, or statutes; by conferences, congresses, or assemblies, by pride prejudice, or passion. The development of the Negro can be stimulated, safeguarded and directed wisely and beneficently. The asperities of natural law can be softened. The stream of tendencies can be kept clear of injustice and cruelty-brutality, and inhumanity; and it will be so if we have any Christianity worth the name. The way of salvation for the Negro is not along the paved highways of city civilization. In the cities he is waging a losing battle. The ravages of drink and drug evils, the vices and diseases of the slums, make swift and certain inroads upon the race as a whole in the congested centers of our population. It would be beyond reason to expect a belated people to succeed in any large racial way upon the highest levels of competition. The chances of progress are upon the lower levels, where life, is less intense, the struggle for existence less desperate, and surrounding circumstances more propitious and helpful. The Negro's chance is the countryside. Here he succeeds and achieves a new economic status for the race: The open country needs him, as a farm worker. It holds out beckoning hands to him. The countryside has no slums. Fresh air, unmixed sunshine, and pure water are plentiful. Nobody ever heard of a country Negro freezing or starving to death or even suffering for the necessities of life in the rural South. In the country there are fewer temptations to irregularities of living. He sleeps more and works harder. He is less tempted into dissipation and vice. His home life is cleaner and wholesomer. His children are closer to him and under better oversight. Family life is less apt to be disrupted by immoralities or desertion. He easily saves money and gets ahead in the world somewhat. The Negro is waging a winning battle in the farm region; he is rising into a new economic level in the open country. City Baseball League Schedule Nine Games each Club.

LOTS (or nearly one-third) of the cotton-belt counties in which the Negroes are densely massed is one problem. Farm ownership among Negroes thinly scattered in white counties among white majorities is another problem. In one case Negro property owners manifestly yield to the upward pull of the surrounding superior mass. Here they certainly acquire ownership with accelerated rapidity, and with advantage to themselves and the community at large. In the other case, Negro farm owners are thinly scattered in black counties among black majorities. Do they yield to the downward pull of the surrounding, inferior mass of shiftless, thriftless Negroes? Is Negro life in these counties slipping back into savagery? Central Park Lots In this Beautiful Suburban Tract about 800 Lots have been sold and the College Building is being rushed to completion. This locality is destined to be a leading educational and social community and we have less than 100 Lots for sale at from $75.00 to $100.00 each. No Taxes; or Interest until paid for. Size of Lots, 40x135 ft. The answer calls for complete acquaintance with the facts. There are now many Negro communities that are working out their salvation under conditions more or less sequestered. In Louisa County, Va., the Negroes own 53,000 acres of land; in Liberty County, Ga., 55,000 acres; in Macon County, Ala., 61,000. In Beaufort County, S. C., Negro farm owners outnumber the white farm owners 17 to 1. Negro civilization in these counties at hand for investigation. Mound Bayou, Miss', Boley, Okla and Greenwood, Ala., are centers of Negro farm communities. There is abundant opportunity for direct, first-hand study by nonpartisan investigators. And there is need for race studies by scientific students, in scientific ways, and in a scientific spirit.

AMONG THE MASONS APATHETIC, INDEED One of the great problems which confront the craft at the present time is how to interest the large number of dues paying and non-attending Masons, says The Illinois Freemason. It is a matter of figures that the whole burden of the fraternity at the present time is being carried forward by less than ten per cent of the total membership. It has been pointed out that much of this apathy is due to the hasty and loose manner in which lodges admit members. The fact that the fraternity has become so large and so universally recognized, as one of great influence, attracts a large number who seek admittance not to be guided by its teachings, but rather to use its supposed influence to further their own personal motives. If investigating committees would satisfy themselves in advance, that an applicant desired to be a better man, and to be of service to his fellow creatures, before recommending him, we would have better Masons and less apathy in our lodges. ATLANTA TO BUILD A HALL The Masonic lodges of Atlanta will hold a great meeting of the craft Thursday night April 30th to complete their arrangements for the final payment of $1,000 due on their beautiful lot on Auburn avenue which is two hundred and fifty feet nearer the heart of the city than the magnificent building of the Odd Fellows. There they have a lot 62 by 150 where they will soon erect a building that will accommodate the lodges, Royal Arch Chapters, Commanderies, Eastern Star Chapters, Consistories and Shriners. The lot alone cost them fully $9,000 and it is worth $12,000. All the blue lodges are in good financial condition and striving to make this the greatest jurisdiction of colored Masons in the world.

On the 24th he will visit Sharon Lodge by invitation and for that reason will not be able to be present at Macon when the Pythian temple will be turned over to the commissioners by the contractor, which he regrets very much. May 2nd, he will be the guests of the lodge at Tennille and neighboring lodges and will speak to the brethren. He will probably visit Americus on his return trip to Atlanta. The jurisdiction is closing the greatest year of its existence in which every officer and member has done his part, ON THE LEVEL This is a beautiful phrase, and expresses much. To Masons, it means a great deal. Within the lodge room all distinctions are done away. The prince and the peasant meet on common ground, and are equals in all that pertains to Masonry and to manhood. The adherent of one creed has no advantage over the follower of another. Political opinions count for naught. It is the man, and the man alone, that Masonry regards. Would that men might also meet on the level in the every day walks of life. How beautiful this world would be if all men would regard their fellows as brothers and treat them as such. Wealth would not then be a menace, and high station would but be the means of elevating mankind. The widow and orphan would everywhere find friends true as steel in time of trouble. Distress would be relieved, and peace would reign among nations as well as among individuals. A beautiful dream, you say. Yes, but we as Masons can hasten its realization if we "meet upon the level" outside the lodge room as well as in it.—Herald. Married Miss Eva Elizabeth Hart and Mr. Dewitt C.

Farm and Garden WINTER SPRAYING FOR TREES Dormant Spraying Is the Only Method For Restoring Cairn Banks 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 mildew. When you spray, spray thoroughly. Winter spraying is no exception to the rule, and the spray material should be put on with force enough to reach all the lurking enemies. Thorough spraying brings up the question of proper equipment. All the bark must be wetted. At least 100 pounds of pressure is necessary, and in some cases I have found 150 to 200 pounds of pressure giving the best results. It must be driven into the bark cracks and crevices. The man who is just beginning to take up the question of winter spray. THE STATE OF NEW YORK ing ought to be able to dis- pish the different kinds of enemies found on the trees in winter. He ought to buy a good pocket lens, costh about 70 cents, and carefully study all the parasites, scabs and fungi he can find. In battling with mitev, mites, spiders and moths all infested trees should be pruned and it dead and decaying parts removed. All wounds should be cleaned out and the flaking, scalling bark ought to be raped 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. Bordaux 64-50 is the spray used most in late winter spraying, when the lime-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 toughest by the winter sprayer is the San Jose scale. Look for the round grayish and black, button shape 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 it San Jose scale at any date between falling of the leaves and the leafout in spring. There are three rules that I thievery man should apply in going abspraying, whether he is doing the win in winter or in summer. They are: When you spray, be sure you are cing it at the right time. If you don't know the reason you are spraying, don't spray at all. The only way to know the reason for spraying is to study up on ev insect or fungus that is causing trouble now or may trouble you the near future. Men no longer argue about the reason of spraying. That has been settled all time. The scabless, sound smooth skinned fruit of the spirt orchard has settled that question. that remains for us to know is when and the how. Barnyard Manure. Barnyard manure is indispensable a fertilizer on thin and sandy that is to be farmed. It supplies mus as well as nitrogen, and the of the humus is often more dest than the increase of plant food, the both are surely needed if the land CHECKED FABRICS. They Are to Be Very Pop- ular For Spring Wear. 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 tallor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapus lazull, cornelline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here. At present the lavish display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of T 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, quantify fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacier than ever and some very pretty designed. These show up particularly well on a dress of dark surge. Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD No reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods. These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who No reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods. These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the advisability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard beloings 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, for it makes the land return a living income even in unattainable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bonemeal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard-land 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.

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

A 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 beads 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 Rhinestones Glitter on the Hands and In the Hair. Brillants, usually in the form of rhinestones, are the chief decorations on all the newest hair ornaments. But the bandeaux having them are not the mode, and yet it was in this form that they were first used to give a finishing touch 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 M 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 coif- fure 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 brilliance 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. ALFALFA A MONEY MAKERS 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, that should not be discouraging. The per cent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the next addition of 200 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover path 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 alfaite is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased AN IOWA ALFALFA FILLI. 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 in acre and then to go over the land to lie-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 so of the hardier varieties is very high priced and also uncertain as to quality 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 stalks. 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 can one afternoon may be raked the following day, put in bunches and mul 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 it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake soon as dry enough to stack and hit it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cocking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by number of men who handle large ages. Where one has much alfalfa hay cure a side delivery rake will be four to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked cut late in the afternoon or the ming, raked before dinner and put cocks in the afternoon. Here it sh be left for two or three days. The of hay covers assures one of difficulty in curing even the cutting and produces a hay of excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of an egg too little understood. Dampness, above 60 degrees, strong odors, delay in marketing, are factors very quickly destroy freshness. good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees. See that the grass is pulled from the base of small trees. Put put wire protectors about them mice or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter.
