He left his home in Brunswick to inspect the order. The reception given him in our city was a brilliant affair. Dr. Daniels, Messrs. E. L. Martin, P. J. Hubert and Williams were sent to escort him into the hall. D. D., Mr. G. H. Stokes had the audience to stand and sing "All hail th power of Jesus' name." Mr. E. L. Martin introduced him and in behalf of the order in a few, well chosen words, welcomed the R. W. G. C. most heartily. Mr. P. J. Hubert represented the G. L. in a brief but pithy address. The R. W. G. C., J. B. Phillips delivered an excellent address. It was filled with history, prosperity, good cheer and encouragement which showed the loyalty of the order all over the state. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels was introduced and he delivered, a very comical address, yet it was certainly true. He lauded the R. W. G. C.'most highly. A very excellent paper on "The True Samaritan" was read by Mrs. M. J. Gordon. One of the little Juveniles recited and the Williamson sisters sang "Somebody came and rescured me." The deputy, Mr. Stokes, made a few remarks showing the progress of the order during the year. Short, important speeches were made by Mr. Philip Lovett, of the K. of P. and Mr. C. Andrews of the U. R. K. of P. "God be with you 'till we meet again" was very impressively sung. The benediction was said by Rev. R. J. Kelly. A committee of two had been appointed from each lodge to prepare refreshments. The choice viands had been prepared in the most palatable style. Covers were spread for all who attended and a most enjoyable feast was had. The many pleasant remarks that we hear, smiling faces that we saw and in fact the brilliancy of thewhole affair will be potrayed in our minds and keep us smiling for months. A. C. E. U. L.

It is the purpose of the association to have these exercises very simple and not to hold the audience any longer than necessary. The management of the Fekin Theater has made it possible for the theater orchestra of eight pieces to render music for the occasion and it is expected that a large crowd will be out to listen to the excellent selections which this much talked of orchestra will play. They are of a very high class and will be listened to with much delight by the large crowd which will undoubtedly be out. Those in the ticket contest must make their return to Mr. J. C. Lindsay, 509 West Broad street not later than Wednesday afternoon 4 o'clock. Returns coming after this hour will not be considered in the contest. There will be no price of admission to witness these ceremonies and it will be an inspiration to the boys and girls who so admirably held up the honor of their schools on Friday afternoon for a large crowd to be out to witness the awarding of the prizes.

Colored Youth Classic Wine 100 Yard Dash Howard Drew, the former Springfield, Mass., high school sprinter now running for the University of California, won the classic 100 yard dash at the University of Pennsylvania Relay races on Saturday before last from one of the fastest fields ever assembled for this event. On a mud soaked field he won his heat in 10 seconds flat and the final in 10 1-5. Considering the bad condition of the track this time was little less than marvelous and critics who doubted his performance of 9 2-3 seconds for the century made on the Pacific Coast this spring are now willing to concede that he is fully capable of the time. Drew is not only the fastest Negro sprinter known to track athletics, but the equal of any amateur that has ever worn the spiked shoe June Rose Auxiliary Social June Rose Auxiliary Social On Thursday evening of last week, the June Rose Auxiliary held their second private socii Harris Street Hall. It was in deed an affair of unusual enjoyment and brim full of pleasure from start to finish. The guest numbered about seventy-five are their jolly and pleasant manne added to the pleasures. The ball was very tastily decorated and presented a beautiful appearance. The ladies were all very becomingly gowned for the occasion. The table was spread on the first floor of the hall and waden with many good things. This auxiliary is composed of a number of young ladies whose manner of entertaining is commendable. Miss Grace Harris the president is to be congratulated for the way in which she managed the affair and for advance the idea which made possible such an enjoyable event. --- 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, WIs., in connection with the local co-operative cremery. This is the result of the offer of $200 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 Chatfield, 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 canniflower. - 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 precipitation 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 homesekers 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 wideawake 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 parrot bug 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. 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 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 old 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, 468 pounds; dry cornmeal, 540 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. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] 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 fowls kept, within her borders, the number being 23,482,880. Of this number three-fourths are estimated to be egg producers. Arnold Thompson of Canby, a Minnesota lad, who some time ago took a course in corn breeding and judging at the local high school, recently captured $125 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 handful 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 pails. Poultry experience seems to point to the fact that seldom is it profitable to keep hens 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 vigorous as those from the elder, birds. --- Luty and mildewy bay 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. 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 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. 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 is likely to fall into. We usually think of the corn belt farmer as the one who makes big profits on porkers. There are others. J. K. Smaley, a farmer living eighty miles south of Spokane. Wash., paid $30 apiece a year ago for three Berkshire 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. 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 farm vehicles and in operating plows, reapers, mowing and thrashing machines, etc. It will look into best methods of heating and lighting farm homes and other buildings as well.

Self Disgraced. In Boston, as every one knows, the symphony concerts are viewed in the light of sacred ceremonials. In this connection the story is told of two little girls of a certain family who returned from the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn, the other an air of great dejection. "What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?" "The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself." "Disgraced herself?" "Yes, she sneezed in the middle of the symphony."—Philadelphia Ledger.

"Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?" "Sh-sh! I don't want him to overhear.

He ain't my style."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Answering the Phone. Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone. Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call. Canadian "Alligators." The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occasionally see what is to him a very remarkable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, apparently just as much at home as in its natural element. These boats are known as "alligators," and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power.

Old Law there still exists in opinion a law which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor.

It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of arti- culal 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.

STREET DO INTING 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. Viciua 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 farry if there were any snipe in it. "Shnipe, it, sor? Did ye say shnipe? Shure. If ye wint into that bog widout a gun they'd are 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. Runaways. "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 Boastful Benjamin. "A friend of mine once ran away with a horse, and he was lain up for six years."—New York Globe. Favorites of the Gods. Abyssinla is one of the countries to which foreigners and their own people have given different names. "Abyssinla" 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'll 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 perfumed 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? Bings For Bridegrooms. A custom rather strictly observed in Germany is the exchange of rings by bride and bridegroom on the wedding day, and it is a very pretty idea. "Why shouldn't the man have some outward symbol to show that he is married as well as a woman?" asked a little dark eyed bride who had used this double ring ceremony. And why not? Very few brides now select a plain diamond solitaire that was for so long considered the only proper engagement token; the larger the stone the more the girl loved to flash it. Now a diamond is used if the girl wishes it, but it is cut and set in some individual manner and is made with the promise that no duplicates will be sold. Some new rings are being shown which on first appearance seem to be very handsome seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment. Table Manners. When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction. Dancing Etiquette. "When dancing with a young girl," asks a perplexed masculine reader, "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?" The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty. Street Introductions. An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C., Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege. Consideration For Servants. Respect your maid's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her at night. Some women have a most pernicious habit of getting their maids up to unhook clothes, while others will remember in the small hours a number of orders that should have been given at dinner time. 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 fulness 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 wear are of net. Illustrated here is a blouse of embroidered net which is worn with a dainty gown of infcta. The flounced tunic, trimmed with buttons, gives an exceedingly attractive appearance to the simple little frock. LAUNDRY BOX. A Pedestal Shaped Affair That Will Fit Conveniently Into Corners. Better far than the laundry bag is the pedestal shaped box. It may be as elegant looking as its owner elects to have it and stand about the dressing room on an equality with the other necessary pieces of furniture. The pedestal may be made of the most ordinary wood, since invariably it is covered with cretonne, worsted brocade or any thick, closely woven window drapping material. It should be neatly finished at the edges with a cimp or a fancy braid. Inside it may be lined with white cloilth, although that is not necessary, and it has a flat lid which, when closed, makes a convenient table top. This laundry box fits into a corner, out of the way. It may stand beside the bed, as it is precisely the right size to hold a night light, a book and a carafe. Care of the 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 it is cold, stir into it three large tablespoonfuls of powdered whitening and a few drops of ammonin. Beat it into a smooth jelly. Have ready some suitable pieces of old soft flannel or table linen. Put these in the jelly and allow them to absorb as much of it as possible. Squeeze them slightly and let them dry. A quick rub with one of these cloths will remove all tarnish from silver and will give it a brilliant polish. Cleaning Solid Silver The best way to keep silver—real silver, not plate—always up to the mark is to wash it daily in hot water to which a little soap and a small piece of soda have been added. Dry thoroughly, and while still hot polish it with a soft leather. About once a week use a little plate powder for polishing. Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed and increased, and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty to himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts unless a cheerful spirit animates them should be sufficient reason for setting in motion every cause which produces such a spirit. Tiny Goust The republic of Goust is a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 weavers. They are ruled by a council of elders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civil unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs. It has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie; the coffins being slid downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side and Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate."—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it reelected its boat to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle. Restaurant Affiliation The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of coffee," ordered the first man. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water." -Judge. Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat Bir 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 repa 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. THE PALM SHAVING PALACE Expert Hair Cutting, Eleetric Massage and Shampooing a Specialty.

To note that there will be a wide spread observance of "Railroad Day" June 7th and 8th as designated by our distinguished educator and leader, Dr. Booken T. Washington, brings no little satisfaction to us at this time. This suggestion for the observance of Railroad Day, coming as it does from the man whose faithful and unswerving devotion to the cause of his people, is beyond board, will undoubtedly result in much good for our people if properly carried out. The fact that accommodations on the railroads in various parts of our country is abominable so far as our people is concerned, cannot be denied. Jim Crowism in certain sections has been carried to the extreme. No one knows this better than Dr. Washington whose business engagements cause him to spend a large part of his time on the trains. This effort on the part of Dr. Washington is not as little minds would make believe an effort to bring about social equality between the races. Nothing is farther removed from the mind of the originator of the suggestion than such. The movement has for its object one and only one purpose and that is an improvement of accommodations for our people on the common carriers. June 7th and 8th are not a great way off. The Tribune would like to see all of our churches, clubs, schools, business leagues and all other institutions for the good of our people engage in themselves in a city wide observance of Railroad Day at the designated time. Of unusual gratification is it to us to note the slow but sure progress which the A. B. C. powers of South America, viz, Argentina, Brazil and Chile are making toward bringing about a settlement without arms of the international dispute between our government and the government of Mexico. From the beginning of the present imbroglio between the governments of these two American countries, there has been an earnest desire on our part to note some amicable solution of the difficulty between the two na- red. The horrors of war in their most devastating aspects were indeed vivid to our consciousness when the sound of the first shot came as a harbinger of the fact that actual hostilities between the two nations had begun. As a soothing balm does there come to us at this time the knowledge that through the good graces of the governments of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, an effort is being put forward now and apparently a successful one too, to bring the belligerent countries together through peaceful measures and in so doing to show to the world that the countries of the Americas will not allow themselves to destroy each other in a struggle with arms whenever the same can be avoided. And now that a temporary lual in hostilities between the two nations is on, it is earnestly hoped that every legitimate and honorable endeavor will be put forth to prevent a return to arms by the two governments. We believe in peace, peace not only between individuals and races but nations as well. The great advocates of universal peace found now in increasing numbers in the leading countries of the world have from us our strongest approval and commendation for the efforts which they are now putting forth to eliminate war with arms among the civilized nations of the world. War between the United States and Mexico is unnecessary. If it should be universal peace will receive a most telling blow. Let us hope that within the next few weeks the situation between the two American governments will have been so clarified that a further call to service on the part of either government will be unnecessary. RECOMMENDING CANDIDATES RECOMMENDING CANDIDATES Too much care cannot be exercised in recommending candidates for admission to our lodges, and the laudible desire to see the lodge grow and expand should not be allowed to influence members when endorsing petitions for initiation. It should always be borne in mind that our Order is the most ancient and honorable institution ever devised by man; it has been handed down to us as a sacred trust, and on us devolves the duty of maintaining its spotless reputation, and upholding its character by not only practicing its precepts and profiting by its teachings, but by rightly excluding those who, by their moral unfitness, prove themselves unworthy to be received among us. Above all, the ancient landmark which forbids improper solicitation, should be kept inviolate. The applicant for admission into Masonry must come forward of his own free will and accord, and it is a gross injustice to him as well as a breach of Masonic law to ask any person, no matter how eligible he may be, to join the order. One who has been so solicited is compelled, on the very threshold of the lodge room to either lie out right, or jeopardize his prospects of advancing further, and the candidate who has been importuned cannot have that high opinion of the Order which is held by him who comes voluntarily.—Masonic Chronicle. Masonry makes for truth and righteousness. There are no distinctions of rank or wealth in Masonry. We are brether all. Masonry is built upon a sure foundation. It will outlive the ravages of time. Attend your lodge meetings. You will benefit yourself as well as your brether. Let us do all that is possible to promote harmony. Banish discord and discension. Our Masonry should be something more than a garment, to be put on and off at pleasure.—Sel. THE CALL OF THE BELL On the watch tower of the Vela at the Alhambra, Spain, there is a silver-toned bell which the Moslems ring as a signal to let on the water in the gardens and the fountain in the city below. Its sound can be heard at Liga, thirty miles away. The call of a Mason in distress can be heard further and should never fail to open the fountains of relief and brotherly love, and let the reviving and refreshing waters of sympathy and charity flow abundantly. Even when no sweet-toned bell calls us to the performance of a special duty, we can make our lives constantly helpful in little ways to our brethren with whom we have to deal, by keeping our spirits always sweet and avoiding all manner of petty anger however great our provocation may be. If we are seeking a reward it will surely follow. Emerson says, "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." "It is not the deed we do Though the deed be ever so fair. But the love the dear Lord look- eth for eth for Hidden with lowly care In the heart of the deed so fair." —Virginia Masonic Journal. THE ANTE-ROOM CONTINGENT The ante-room of the average lodge room is becoming of such importance at the present time, as to claim the attention of those who are interested in Masonry. It was originally supposed that this room was merely for use of the Tyler and for brethren awaiting entrance to the lodge room popper. But conditions seem to be changing and if numbers are any criterion upon which to pass judgment it would be hard to distinguish, which was the lodge room and which was the ante room at an average lodge meeting. We heard not very long ago of a Master, who finding himself alone in the lodge room with a candidate and two or three brethren, stepped out in the anteroom to find some fifteen or twenty of his brethren smoking and story telling. One of them anticipating what was in the Master's mind said, "We'll come right in." The Master said, "Oh, never mind. I'll bring the candidate out here. Illinois Freemason. HARMONY. There is said to be a point in the upper air where all the discord of earth, the agony of crying, the mean of the beggar, the shriek of distress, the thunder of battle, meet and mingle in one splendid note of harmony like unto the music of the spheres. A Masonic lodge hall should resemble this harmonious point of the upper air. What more fitting than that in a Masonic lodge room all discords of life, all of fret and strife and passion, all of bitterness and conflicting interests, should be consumed around our altars by the purifying fires of love. Then would brotherhood and good fellowship supremely reign; then would the blessings of Masonry be vouch-safed in overflowing abundance; then would our mightier organization become a far mightier instrumentality for good than its founders in their rosiest imaginings it would or could be.—Selected. Social Happensings Social Happenings The Savannah Singing Society held its annual meeting Sunday before last at the residence of Mr. M. H. Anderson at Bonaventure.

During the winter season of the year many farm animals do not receive as much water as they really need to give the best results, says the Kansas Farmer. This is especially true of hogs. In cold weather, when all water left in troughs or other receptacles is likely to freeze, the animals do not have the opportunity to drink as much as they otherwise would. Professor Deitrich, formerly of the Illinois Agricultural college, found in conducting a series of experiments in feeding swine that a sufficient amount of water is a very important consideration in securing the largest returns from the feed consumed by hogs. He found that oftentimes in securing the best results in the feeding of hogs it was necessary to encourage the consummation of the proper amount of water by supplying some of the food in liquid form. Those who are feeding hogs through the winter season should bear in mind that the supplying of a source of pure, clean water at the proper temperature is of the greatest importance. Perhaps in many cases it will be desirable to supply a part of the water in the form of warm stop feeds. A feed cooker for the cooking of feeds has little economic importance, but such a device may be very useful in supplying warm liquid feeds during the cold season of the year. THE. DAIRY HOUSE. Separate Building For Handling Milk Is Necessary. In every case where a considerable portion of the farm income is derived from the sale of dairy products a building should be provided to be devoted exclusively to their care. The essential features which should be retained in any plan are a room just large enough for the actual needs; a floor, wall and ceiling which can be easily, quickly and thoroughly cleaned; a good drain to carry away waste water; a suitable method for heating the house in cold weather; plenty of light and ventilation; convenient arrangements for washing, scalding and drying dairy utensils, and a good tank and water supply for cooling the milk or cream. This building or dairy house should be convenient to but entirely separate from the barn where the milking is done. In case a special dairy house cannot be provided the milk or cream should be handled and stored in a clean, light and well ventilated place, free from strong odors of any kind.—From Bulletin of Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station.

Controversies about wages frequently arise between farmers and their hired men when the latter are charged or quit work before the expiration of the time for which they were employed. Sometimes a man who is hired to do certain specified work or work for a certain period of time for fixed wages quits his job without good and sufficient reasons, and the question then arises what compensation, if any, he can recover by law from his employer for the work he has actually done. There is some conflict of authority in the decisions of the courts upon this subject, but the weight of authority is to the effect that in such case the hired man can recover the value of the services which he actually rendered, deducting from this amount any damages which his employer has sustained by reason of his failure to complete the services which he was hired to perform. Sickness or death of an employee is considered by the law to be the act of God and constitutes good excuse for delay or even for nonperformance of a contract for personal services. An employee who is prevented by sickness from completing services according to his contract can recover the actual value of the services which he has performed under the contract, and if the completion of his work is prevented by his death his executor or administrator can recover the value of the services actually performed by him.

"The largest white polar bear I ever saw," said an old whaler and hunter, "was shot in November, 1885, about 150 miles northeast of Point Barrow, Alaska. It measured twelve feet two inches from tip of tail to nose, six feet three inches in girth, fifteen inches across from ear to ear and possessed a seven inch skull, while the track made by the huge beast covered eleven inches in length. An idea of the size of this monster can be galanced when it is known their average length is only about eight or nine feet." As It Was Revealed. Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Malne 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.

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 full. Onions, are heavy feeders on soil fertility and for this reason the land on which they are to be grown should be rich. As soon as the frost is out the land should be given a shallow plowing or thorough disking and then harrowed and floated. The seeder should be regulated so as to put the rows about sixteen inches apart, while the seed gauge should be set so as to sow the seed from an inch to and an inch and a half apart. Before deciding how thick to sow the seed it is well to test its germinating power. In his own experience the writer has found it more satisfactory to sow the seed a bit too thick and thin when the plants were three or four inches high, than to sow sparingly and have from half to two-thirds of a stand, for it takes just as much time to cultivate a part of a crop as a full crop. One should start the cultivation as soon as the 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 825 pounds of tankage, 850 of bone meal and 825 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 high; the fertilizer being scattered close to the rows. In deciding what varieties to grow, one should be guided by the preference prevailing in the markets one would be most likely to ship to. One of the most popular varieties is the Red Globe, and it not only fetches a good price, but is a good keeper and is prized by the housewives who use them. For the northern portions of the country, where there is danger of early September frosts, every effort should be made to get the seed in as soon as the condition of the soil will permit so as to insure early ripening. A dollar or two, more or less, in the initial cost of the seed is a small matter in a crop that will gross between $200 and $300. Hence none but the best seed should be used. If it is good and has strong germinating power three pounds will be ample to sow an acre of land. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. 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 weened ninety-six 'pign. Last year an equally good showing was made from a still larger number of sows. The care of the litters was started when the sows were bred. The mothers were forced to take a moderate amount of exercise every day during the period of gestation. The feeds given during the period included corn, shorts, wheat bran, tankage, oilmeal and alfalfa hay. For the early portion of the period the ration consisted of a little corn, some shorts and tankage and all the alfalfa hay the sows would eat. Bran and oilmeal were added the last few weeks. The aim in feeding was to bring the sows to farrowing time in a laxative condition and in good thrift and medium flesh. WAS HE WORTH IT? Farmers of those conservative sections where the idea seems to be deeply rooted that the way their grandfathers did agriculturally is plenty good enough today and where no effort is made to hide contempt for the county agricultural expert should be interested in the following record of ten months' work of such a demonstrator who is in the employ of Merrick county, Neb. In the period mentioned he traveled 9,040 miles in answering the calls for assistance which he received from the farmers, in the course of which travel he visited 543 farms. He had 478 callers on Saturdays in his office, had 2,000 telephone talks, received 200 letters from his employers, the farmers, wrote them 800 letters and spoke at twenty meetings, at which 2,000 farmers gathered. In addition to numerous field demonstrations he vaccinated over 2,000 hogs, valued at $17,000, among which there was a loss from cholera of but 3 per cent. He spotted forty cows that were of the star boarder stripe and weren't giving milk enough to pay for their feed. Did this man earn his salary? POOR SEED CORN AGAIN. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commissioner of the Rock Island lines, has lately sent out warnings to the farmers of the middle western states that the seed corn that is available in much of the territory tributary to this system is of very low grade this year. He states that there is very little good seed in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and northwestern Texas, seed from last year's crop being unsafe to plant and much of the 1912 crop showing poor germination. He further warns farmers against buying seed corn outside of their own counties and particularly from any considerable distance, as a reduced yield is almost sure to result. J. C. Trigg For. Gladia Senator of Compaq. MES. JAMES J. BROWN 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 cast. 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 flames, 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 felline 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 calco 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 falls To put three curls into their falls? Alfalfa! What makes all other stock look nice; And brings the highest market price; What fills the milk pails, feeds the calf; And makes the old cow almost laugh? Alfalfa! FLOUR MILL ON FARM. How One North Dakota Man Gets : Greatest Return From Crone. 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 bir room in which to store it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food. A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually, the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and 82 cents a bushel respectively where they are sold as cash crops. At a slight expense as regards time and labor this shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat and rye—that in the bulk are worth approximately $1.07 and $1.10 a hundred pounds—into excellent flour that sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Yearly this progressive farmer is gaining an attractive income from his milling operations, since he also grinds grain for his neighbors. This labor in nowise interferes with his farm work, as the greater share of the mill work is done during the period when field work is relatively slack.—Country Gentleman. A Handy Harness Box. The next time a new set of harness is bought take a box and fit it with doors so that it may be closed tight. Hang the harness in this when it is not in use. It is a surprise how long it will look neat and stay in good shape when cared for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. Screw harness hooks will make good hangers. A little box may be attached to the inside of the door for holding combs, brush, etc. Plowing In Winter. There is a diversity of opinion as to the advisability of plowing in winter. It is generally conceded, however, that sod lands should be plowed in the winter season. The freezing and thawing of the soil put it in much better condition than it can be put by the plow and harrow after the spring has opened. Winter plowing also destroys many insects that would damage crops if they were allowed to live. There will be much more moisture laid up in the soil and saved for the use of the growing crop the next year if the plowing is done during the winter season than there would be if it were left until spring. The capillary connection with the subshell will have time to be resumed if the plowing is done early. The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish.

Important facts for frult growers are that orebard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of-the soll maintained withopt extraordinary sef- fort. “While the trees ‘are coming*to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there {s a plan of veg- etable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soll is benefited by the necessary cultiva- tion. Unless such a system of cropping 1s established a nonbearing orchard 1s apt to be uezlected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. ‘Thecultivation of vegetables or smal! fruit in an orchard Is therefore for the Purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It gocs further than this, however, for it makes the land return a ving in- come eren in unfavorable fruit sea- sons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spolied 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 npart. The trees need to stand in straight rows, éo permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One, of tha most common ‘mistakes in ‘farming “is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorns and potasstam are necessary’ for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general, NI- trogen, cap_be obtained In stable _ma- nore, but the principal’ source 1s afr, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on With the ald of barnyard mannre is.an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone- meal. Potassium Js 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 ft we can elther apply soluble potassium salts or un- Jock that which is already present in abundance. Experimenta have shown that it does not pay to apply potas- sium to ordinary goils, provided decay- ing organic matter in the form of ma- nure or cover crops is worked {nto the soil. The decaying organic matter will Uberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as bard 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 nitro- gen and potassium and half as much phosphoras 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 for tility. | It for any reason gardening cannot’ be carried on in a thorongh way in an orchard I should recommend legumes fn place of manure as the source of ‘nitrogenous organic matter. It is ‘shown that a cheap way te grow Hegumed is to apply greund Hmestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this ‘treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which shenld not serteualy interfere with this system of fertiliza- tlon.

The Diving Bell. The celebrated philosopher Aristotle speaks of a diving bell which was put over the head of the diver, but there is mo proof of the use of the bell in an- cient times. John Jaesnier, who lived in the early part of the sixteenth cen- tury, makes the earliest mention of the practical use of the diving bell in Ex- rope. In all probability the first real practical use of the diving bell was in the attempt at rescuing the treasures of the Spanish armada off the Englisb coast, 1500 and on.

Every lodge and household of the city participated and everything worked in unison. The exercises were opened by the chairman, W. E. Searles, who introduced the master of ceremonies, W. H. Burgess, who in a few well chosen words made the introductory speech. The papers read by Miss Bessie E. Foster and Mrs. R. Ethel Wright, District Worthy Recorder of the state, were excellent. The oration delivered by Deputy Ed. H. Burke was indeed a masterly effort. He made a profound impression upon the brotherhood, which will do much in cementing the Odd Fellows together The sermon delivered by Rev. Daniel Wright was very instructive and gave much food for thought. The singing of the quartett composed of Misses J. O. McIntosh, Albertena Smith, Chas. F. Waters and E. J. Quarterman was very good The emusic rendered by the choir was exceedingly fine. The procession, five blocks long, created quite an impression as it marched in solemn order from the Duffy street hall to the church. Card: of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Singleton of Beaufort, S.

VOLUME XXIX GO-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY MAY 24TH Evangelical Ministers' Union Making Special Effort to Crowd Churches At a recent meeting of the Evangelical Ministers' Union, it was decided to set aside the fourth Sunday in this month as "Go-to-Church" Sunday and a special effort is being made by the Union to have the churches crowded on that day. During the week the Union has distributed five thousand circulars throughout the city, calling attention to the movement, and if the weather is fair on that day it is expected that many persons who have neglected to attend church for sometime will be found attending some sort of religious ceremony. In other cities where the plan has been tried the result has been very gratifying and all of the ministers of the local pulpit are requested to emphasize the importance of the movement tomorrow. First African Baptist Church. The pulpit of the church was ably supplied on last Sunday by Rev. Quo. The day was somewhat a strenuous one on him, owing to his having to officiate at two funerals of members at church. The funeral of Mr. A. N. Mordecai took place at 10 a.m., and that of Mrs. Margaret Canty at 4 p.m. Both were very dutiful members of the church, and a large attendance was was present at their funerals. On to morrow, Rev. R. O. Judkins of Montgomery, Ala., by special invitation of the church, will be in the city and occupy the pulpit. He comes highly recommended by some of the ablest ministers of our denomination. He has just finished a series of lectures at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The public is invited to hear him preach at 11 o'clock a.m. and 8:00 p.m. He will also address the Sunday School at 4 p.m. and the B. Y. P. U. at 7:30 p.m. It is hoped that a representative audience will hear him. Deacons B. H. Maxwell, Thos. R. Williams and Mr. W. G. Williams, church clerk, were singularly honored by church and the Foreign Mission Board by being awarded certificates of membership, for life, to the National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A. Mock Conference A mock general conference will be held at St. Philip's church, from May 18-25. This conference will be conducted by the ladies of the church and they will preside in their turns, representing the bishops of the A. M. E. church. A new bishop will be elected from among the delegates. The entertainment promises to be a most unique one. C1 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 1,800 PEOPLE WITNESS NEGRO SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES AT BASE BALL PARK EDDIE BROWN, OFSWANGIN SCHOOL, WINS INDIVID- West Broad Street School Again Annexes School Championship-Ruth Reed of West Broad Wins Ticket Contest-Meet the Most Successful Primary School Athletic Event Ever Held in the State-Girls Races Particularly Interesting Music Very Inspiring-Prizes Awarded at Pekin Theater Yesterday-Charlity Hospital Awarded $50.00. The athletic meet of the Negro school children of the city, under the auspices of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association, held at the baseball park Friday afternoon of last week, was an overwhelmning success and was, beyond a doubt, the grandest event of the kind ever held in the state by primary schools. A crowd of 1,800 persons witnessed the affair and the afternoon was by all means one of uninterrupted pleasure and amusement. Not a single discordant note was sounded by any one of the large gathering and the harmony of spirit was one of the pleasing features of the day. The crowd seemed bent on a day of fun and although there was the keenest sort of rivalry on the part of the contestants and their admirers yet it mattered not what school romped across the finish first the entire grand stand and bleachers sent up a mighty cheer which resounded miles beyond the park. In fact the congeniality of spirit and the singing by the entire gathering whenever the band played a popular air were the real features of the day. The total number of contestants taking part in the meet was a litless than three hundred, fifty of whom were girls. The confusion in former years arising from the participants misunderstanding the events was very noticeable by its absence and a better regulated meet among primary schools was never witnessed. The field was kept clear of all save the five judges and the actual contestants and an unobstructed view of the events was had by the spectators. The bright and shining star of the meet was a thirteen year old lad from Swanging school, Eddie Brown, who won two firsts and two seconds with a total number of 13 1-4 points. For his excellent performance he was awarded the individual championship which carried with it a gold watch. His winning the open mile run was easily the most spectacular event of the afternoon. Pitted against him were ten competitors, five of whom were some of the best amateur milers of the city. From the start Brown jumped into the lead and held it until on the back stretch of the last quarter, when H. Delaigle jumped to the front with a yard lead. The two came toward the finish putting on every ounce of effort, and when ten yards from the tape Brown outsprinted his rival and won by two feet. The mile relay afforded many thrills and it was young Brown running the last relay for his school that caused a beautiful finish between the West Broad Street and Swangin teams, the former winning by a yard and a half. The first relays for East Broad, Beach, Swangin and West Broad finished in the order named with about two yard separating the first and last runners. The second relays finished in about the same relative position but on the third relay Marks of West Broad, picked up a two yard leave at the start and converted it into a seven yard lead for Byrd, the anchor runner for his team. Following Marks came Bennett of Swangin and Perkins of Beach, the East Broad term falling out. The three circled the track in the order named and it looked like an easy win for Byrd with the lead given him by Marks, when, like a shot out of a cannon, Brown of Swangin was out after Byrd and when the back stretch was reached he had cut Byrd's lead to 3 yards and was going like a whirlwind. Around the track they came and with each stride the youthful Brown was gaining on the West Broad street school boy until at the finish Byrd won by a scant three feet with Nesbitt of Beach bringing up in third place, and ending one of the most hardly contested relay races ever seen in this city. After the mile run, came the girls events. In these races, the first ever held here for girls, enthusiasm was rampant. Up to this point the East Broad street school was leading in points, but the fact that they had no girls entered, virtually caused them to lose the school championship, for the girls gave their nearest point winners, the West Broad and Swangin, seventeen and eight points respectively, and winning for the latter first and second places. It was due to the two girls in the 50 yard dash and one in the the 25 yard dash that the Cuyler Street school scored at all, their entries winning two first and one second place. In the races for the younger girls much friendly rivalry was manifested both by the contestants and their supporters. The last event of the afternoon was the quarter mile relay for girls, four girls to the team, stationed in relays at four points around the track. The first relay of girls got off well and romped away on even terms to their mates, who also kept well bunched until the third set struck out. It was here that Belle Delegall took up the race for West Broad, and gave Janette Branham a twelve yard lead over Agnes Collier, of Swangin school, and practically won the race, as it was impossible for the Swangin girl to overtake the tremendous lead. The addition of girls in the meet this year was indeed appreciated by the vast gathering, and on every side their neat costumes consisting of blue bloomers, white middy blouseand blue collars were widely commented upon. Prizes were awarded to the winners yesterday afternoon at the Pekin Theatre, and a large crowd was out to applaud the lucky winners. A check for fifty dollars was given to Charity hospital by the association fostering the races. The ticket contest was won by Ruth Reed, West Broad, first; Marie Moore, Beach, second.

The sermon was an excellent explanation of the prayer and was so plainly given that all could understand The choir rendered excellent music. Attend our services at any time. You are always welcome.
