"GO-TO-CHURCH SUN-DAY," TOMORROW
LARGE CROWDS EXPECTED TO BE AT ALL THE CHURCHES.
Agitation for Large Attendance Tomorrow Work of the Evangelical Ministers' Union—5000 Dodgers Distributed Urging The People to Turn Out.
Tomorrow will be known as "go-to-church" Sunday in many of the Negro churches of the city and a large attendance is expected at all of the churches interested in the movement.
The setting aside of tomorrow as the day on which a special effort be made to interest the entire community in going to church is the work of the Evangelical Ministers' Union and that it will result in packed attendance at the churches tomorrow is the general concensus of opinion.
In other cities where the plan has been tried the results have have been very gratifying. 5000 dodgers' calling attention to the day have been sent out by the union.
In discussing the movement the Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, gave the following reasons why the effort should be made:
1. To go to church is a testimony of one's salvation.
2. It is to know the blessedness of communion with Christ.
3. It helps others.
4. It is an expression of definite decision.
5. It is to observe the sacrament of Jesus Christ.
6. It will help when temptations overtake us.
7. It is the highest act of man.
8. It shows christian companion- ship and association.
9. It is a recognition of deity. To pay homage to God is the highest reason for going to church. 10. It helps the church. It will help the husband, the wife, the children and the business world in general if men would recognize this idea.
St. Stephen's Church.
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector, extends a cordial invitation to all to attend the services tomorrow. It has been set aside by the Evangelical Ministers' Union as "Go-to-Church Sunday." Special sermons will be preached and special music will be rendered by the choir. Hours of services 10 a. m., 11 a. m. and 8:15 p. m.
West Broad Street School Teams Entertained by Teachers
The teachers of the West Broad Street School entertained the school track and baseball teams on Thursday afternoon in the principal's room from 2 to 105 o'clock and the occasion was one of much pleasure for the youthful athletes and their admiring teachers. Piano music was furnished for the merry occasion and light refreshments were served. Both the boys and girls of the track team and the members of the baseball club were made much of by the teachers and especially were Captains Zeke Byrd Ike Smith, Deas and Janette Branham lionized. It was the most enthusiastic affair of the kind ever accorded the athletes of this school and the boys and girls did not fail to show their appreciation of the occasion

DR. R. A. CARTER OF ATLAN-
TA ELECTED BISHOP
Conference Largest in History of
C. M. E. Church
Bishop L. H. Holsey of Atlanta,
Ga., the senior bishop, called the
great gathering to order. The
first Scripture lesson was read by
Bishop Charles Henry Phillips of
Nashville Tenn., and the opening
sermon was preached by Bishop
R. S. Williams of Augusta, Ga.
The conference, which in many respects is the most remarkable Methodist gathering since the war, organized with the Rev. N. C. Cleaves of South Carolina secretary-in chief and Roscoe Conklin Simmons, editor of the Memphis Sun, principal newspaper reporter. Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of Sumner High School, delivered the welcome address for the citizens.

Shaw of Zion church spoke for Interdenominational Union, Dr. L. H. Brown responded.
The quadrennial address of the bishops was indeed an able, comprehensive document, and dealt freely with all of the weighty and vexing problems that now confront the church. Its recommendations were many and varied.
Among the bishops in attendance are Bishops Charles Henry Phillips, the acknowledged lawgiver, leader and orator; R. S. Williams, the parliamentarian and preacher; M. F. Janison, Elias Cottrell, Isaac Lane and L. H. Holsev.
Some of the general officers are: Rev. J. C. Martin,D.D.,book agent; N. F. Haygood, secretary missions; A. J. Cobb, editor of the Christian Index; A. R. Calhoun, secretary Epworth League and J. W. McKinley, secretary chrch extension.

Shaw, bringing the fraternal greetings of the A. M. E. Zion Church. His speech made a decided hit.
Georgia's candidate for the bishopric, Dr. R. A. Carter, was elected to this exalted position No one supported him more ardently than did Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church of this city. Rev. Martin was in thickest of the contest and it is not known who is the happier, he or Dr. Carter.

Railroad Day June Eighth
CONDITIONS OF TRAVEL TO BE LOOKED INTO.
Booker T. Washington Suggests Plan of Investigation.
To the Editor
With reference to the observance of "Railroad Day" about which I have already written you, it occurs to me to suggest to committees which may be appointed to present our grievances a plan of action.
While I do not want to encourage any body of our people to move in this matter unless they are amply justified by conditions in their locality, we should bear in mind that railway officials are busy persons and whatever we say to them should be definite and to the point. For that reason I suggest the following program of protest:
First.—A statement of present conditions.
Second.—A statement of conditions desired.
1. PROPER ACCOMMODATIONS IN RESTAURANTS CONTROLLED BY RAILROADS
A. PRESENT CONDITIONS:
I. Colored persons can purchase no food on trains in the south in the majority of cases. This makes it necessary for them to try to obtain food at the railroad restaurants.
II. They are seldom permitted to buy food at railroad restaurants.
III. If they are allowed to purchase food at these restaurants they must take the food out of the place, be sent to some room not properly cared for, or be kept waiting at the lunch stand until it is almost time for their trains to leave.
IV. Colored restaurants are seldom near enough to the depots to be of any service to the passengers.
B. CONDITIONS DESIRED
(a) In Particular:
I. Opportunity to purchase food at railroad restaurants so that colored passengers may claim the service, not as a favor grudgingly given, but like all other passengers, are entitled, and without paying higher prices.

In a great number of cases, ticket agents will not sell to colored people tickets until all other passengers have been served, even though colored passengers have been standing at their windows long before the arrival of the most favored class of passengers. IX. The harshness of speech many ticket sellers, directed studiously and specifically to colored passengers, is provocative of needless-friction and bitterness, and is one of the most grievous burdens laid upon colored travelers. B. CONDITIONS DESIRED
II. Rooms large enough to accommodate comfortably all the colored passengers. III. Properly ventilated waiting rooms.
IV. Efficient janitor service as

Good form
Engagement Etiquette.
An engaged girl should write to her personal friends to tell them the news, while her mother writes to older relatives and friends.
Letters of congratulation in answer to these should be written as soon as possible.
Young girls do not write to their men friends to congratulate them on an engagement. They either congratulate them personally or not at all. It is considered extremely bad form for engaged couples to be too demonstrative in public. They should try to be as natural and unaffected as possible, so as to avoid causing embarrassment to others. The engagement ring should always be worn once it has been placed in position. It is useful as a friendly warning to any unwary and oversceptible admirers. Those who invite engaged couples to their houses should make a point of sending them down to dinner together and of doing all in their power to show that they recognize and approve of the engagement.
A girl may dance practically as often as she pleases with her fiance, although, of course, she will do well not to forget entirely all her old friends in this respect.
It is the girl's privilege to ask any friends she likes to act as her bridesmales, but it is an understood thing that some relative of the bridegroom shall be among the number.
Friends of a bridegroom who are unacquainted with the bride's family send their wedding presents to him, and he forwards them to the bride's mother, so that they may be on view with the other presents on the wedding day.
Etiquette Notes:
If you return to live in a neighborhood again after a long absence call on all your friends without waiting for them to call on you first.
If you are inviting friends who have visitors staying with them to your house it is usual to include the visitors in the invitation except in the case of a dinner, when you need not necessarily do so. It is not necessary to call on them first, as they are only asked out of compliment to their hostess.
If at a dinner party there is one extra lady the hostess generally goes in by herself, following behind the last couple.
A hostess should always allow a visitor to enter the carriage before her when going for a drive.
When an engagement is announced write your congratulations or give them in person to the prospective bride and bridegroom as soon as possible.
When In a Street Car.
Upon entering a street car those who know how, to behave will take a seat quietly, without trying to attract attention or in any manner making themselves conspicuous. Names should not be mentioned; gossip should be stricty avoided; a pleasant acknowledgment of small courtesies, such as a move to permit of passing and all those small things that in themselves seem of no importance, but in the aggregate speak loudly of the perfection of good breeding or the lack of it, as the case may be.
Inquisitive curiosity, talking over private affairs, making unpleasant remarks within hearing of those talked about—these all show the observer that politeness, which is etiquette, is unknown in that quarter.
Entering the Motor.
If a gentleman is his own chauffeur he may get in, offer his hand to the lady who accompanies him and help her into the car, wrapping her with the lap robe, etc., before taking his own seat. Different cases require different methods of meeting circumstances, and it is not well bred to haggle over such small things. Accept whatever is done without comment and be pleasant over any little mishap that may seem different.
After Dinner Coffee.
At a family meal the after dinner coffee may be served before leaving the table, but when guests are present it is customary to have the coffee passed on a tray after the ladies have returned to the drawing room. This is done, as a general rule, in most families. The coffee is in small cups, with coffee spoons laid on the saucers. A sugar bowl and tongs accompany the service.
Moderate Praise.
It is 'quite right to praise where praise is due. But don't overdo it, as the man did who, when praising a preacher for the blessings received through his ministrations, said, "Before you came to this place we cared for neither God nor the devil, but through listening to your splendid preaching we have learned to love them both."
Signing One's Name.
The prefix should not be signed with one's name unless the person to whom one writes does not know whether she be married or single. If the writer is married she should sign her Christian and surname and below her signature or in the lower left hand corner of the sheet write her husband's name, with the prefix "Mrs."
THE WORLD'S FASHION
MOIRE AND SILK GOWN.
Shapely nams and shoulders are important in carrying off the style creations of the season. This is, of course, partly due to the sloping shoulder line and the cut of sleeves. A beautiful back is most essential, as the elaborate trimmings on the rear of gowns require a carriage of some distinction to carry them off well. In many cases the back of the gown is the most important. In the case illustrated here it displays the deep plats on the two tiered tunic, which is part of this gown of moire and silk.
PRETTY THINGS FOR BABY.
Dainty Trifles Suitable For the Little One's Layette.
Gift articles for the baby's layette are often in demand. This season trifles of the sort shown in the shops are especially pretty and dainty. Many of them may be easily duplicated by the clever needlewoman.
The bibs illustrated here are cases in point. The upper one is framed in a double row of crochet lace. The

BIRDS FOR BABY
lower one is of handkerchief linen, with hand tucks and embroidery. It is bordered and inset with valenciennes lace. The band passes around the waist and is fastened by the ribbons. Armlets for that wee little baby whose sleeves never will stay up can be bought in the shops. They are of narrow quilled satin and have tiny ribbon rosettes upon them, fashioned in such a way as to represent the petals of a daisy. There's a little yellow center in each rosette, which completes the illusion.
There are little shoes made of the Irish and princess laces. Some new and very attractive little boots of quilted satin edged with swansdown are seen. Some cunning little kimonos are of Japanese cotton crape in bird, stork and butterfly patterns. They are long kimonos—that is as long as bables' kimonos could be—and they are lined with lawn or silkalline.
Wall Paper Cleaner.
To clean wall paper take one heaping cupful of sifted flour, one tablespoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of kerosene, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of ammonia and one-half cupful of warm water. Mix in a small kettle. Boll until the flour is thoroughly scalded and the moisture is used up, stirring constantly. Now take it out and knead it with the hands, and it is ready for use. Rub the wall paper with balls of this rubbery substance as you would clean paper with an eraser.
Cookery Points
Cabbage For Salads.
There are so many ways of using cold boiled cabbage for warming up in some way that it is not often enough thought of as salad material. But cold cabbage with a French dressing makes a good salad, and the course outer green leaves of new cabbage, which would not be good in the uncooked salad, can be advantageously used in this way. It may be shredded and used with beets and other cooked vegetables with a cooked dressing as a salad.
The soft creamy dressings are favored with cabbage salad, but French dressing with cream is of all the most quickly put together and comparatively little known. To make this put the seasonings of salt and pepper with the oil, add the cream in about equal quantities and then the vinegar, drop by drop, stirring rapidly. This is a little quicker method than dropping the cream drop by drop into French dressing, and if carefully done the cream will not curdle. It is delicious and thicker than vinegar and cream simply.
Prettier and more elaborate salads can be made with cabbage than those who regard this as a vulgar vegetable imagine. It may be mixed with dice of celery and then garnished with either minced boiled beef or grated carrot, or both, these being put on it so as to form a cross or in stripes.
Shredded green peppers added to cabbage make it seem a little more elegant as a salad, and a teaspoonful of freshly grated horseradish sprinkled thoroughly through shredded cabbage before a cream dressing is added makes it a most excellent spring salad. The bacon dressings are homely, but bits of cold bacon scattered through the salad may be highly acceptable. For compound salads, which are salads made of little heaps or molds of different colors—green, red, yellow, white or any shade preferable—the cabbage, scaled and made creamy looking, then crisped, is serviceable.
Cookery Kinks
Cooking apricots and dried peaches together?
Cooking a few bits of orange peel with baked apples or pears?
Combining in a salad cold cooked diced beets and carrots dressed with mayonnaise dressing?
Putting a sprig of mint in the water in which potatoes are boiling to give them an odd and delicious flavor?
Serving salmon with slices of orange instead of lemon?
Making strawberry frosting for cake by simply mashing five or six red berries and mixing with confectioners' sugar until stiff enough to spread?
Using equal parts of cold boiled macaroni, cooked diced carrots and canned or fresh peas to make a novel salad?
Preserving Eggs.
When eggs are plentiful and can be bought cheaply obtain from a reliable source new laid eggs, placing these in jars. Obtain a tin of water glass sufficient for a great many eggs, which dissolve according to instruction on tin and pour over the eggs, tie down, and when eggs are dear these can be used for all cooking purposes and will be found to poach or boll like fresh ones. When taking out of the liquid rinse in warm water and prick with a needle those for boiling to prevent cracking in the process. Take out of preserving liquid only as required for use.
Spanish Rice.
For a meat substitute, rice cooked in this way cannot be exciled. It is also a great time and fuel saver. Into a buttered casserole put one-half cupful washed rice, add one-half cupful grated cheese, five small onions sliced thinly, five large cupful of canned tomatoes, two tablespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonfuls salt, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, one cupful hot water and, lastly, two tablespoonfuls of minced pickles or olives. Bake until rice is tender in moderate oven, usually one hour.
Spaghetti In Chafing Dish.
Cook the spaghetti until tender, and it can be broken up or not as one prefers, although it takes an expert to serve it when not cut up. When the spaghetti has been drained, add to it one tablespoonful butter, a cupful of milk in which has been stirred a tablespoonful of flour, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until it boils, then allow to simmer a few minutes and then stir in tomato sauce that has been made with strained tomatoes in which a bit of onion has been cooked. Serve with the dish hot.
Substitute For Whipped Cream.
Put about two quarts of fresh buttermilk into a close muslin bag, with a pinch of salt. Hang it up, with a basin under it, and leave for twenty-four hours to let the water drip out. Turn the curds on to a plate, sweeten to taste, add a few drops of vanilla essence or other flavoring and whip up.
Economy In Coffee Making.
Save the coffee grounds. boll them up in fresh water and strain. Boll the liquid and use it instead of water when making fresh coffee. This is done in France and improves the coffee, besides being very economical, as less coffee is needed.
Foxy Fox.
Mrs. Fox—Great news. John. Our son is engaged to Miss Golder. Fox—What! Then I shall object to the marriage Mrs. Fox—Object! Are you out of your senses? Fox—Not at all, but if we don't kick a little the Golders will think we don't amount to much, and they'll probably call it off—Boston Transcript.
Domestic Felicity.
No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction. A man is pleased that his wife is dressed as well as other people, and a wife is pleased that she is dressed.—Dr. Samuel Johnson.
The Autopsy.
Payton—After his death an autopsy was performed. Mrs. Malaprop—How swell! By which orchestra?—Life. A Social Necessity. "Why is your daughter taking lessons on the violin? Has she shown a special aptitude for the violin?" "No, but every girl has to take lessons on something, doesn't she?"—Chicago Record-Herald.
Mienamed.
Why are streams called "she?" we rise to inquire. Don't they sometimes dry up?-Columbia State.
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 to the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn, the other an air of great dejection.
"What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?"
"The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself."
"Disgraced herself?"
"Yes, she sneezed in the middle of the symphony."—Philadelphia Ledger.
For the Boy's Sake.
"I want my son to enjoy his boyhood, because he will be a child only once."
"That's all well enough, but there's no use in making oneself a slave to one's children."
"I don't make myself a slave to my children. I find my greatest enjoyment in giving them pleasure."
"Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?"
"Sh-sh! I don't want him to overhear. I know he'd be sorry if he spent the money to see that show. I was there myself this afternoon."—Chicago Record-Herald.

Escape a Refusal.
"Mary, why didn't you answer the doorbell?"
"I was frudd. Da fortune teller say dat if I go to door today I see my future husband."
"What nonsense! Why, here's the man's card! Goodness, it was our minister!"
"Vell, I'm glad I don't go. He ain't my style."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Answering the Phone.
Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone, Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call.
Canadian "Alligators."
The unsophisticated visitor to the jumber 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.
Musical.
"I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he a swell singer?" answered Mrs. Newrich—Columbia Jester.
THE HEROIC SPIRIT
In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The littleness of the events and the instruments we are dealing with are forever cheating us out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so.
Old Laws.
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 stairte-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.

Allowing milk or cream to freeze injures its quality and texture, and such milk or cream will not test as high as it would if it had been separated while warm. After being separated the cream should be stored, so that it will not freeze, while the can should be covered while it is being taken to market.
He usually gets the best results from his dairy cows who makes a somewhat close study of the individual characteristics and tendencies of the several members of his herd. The information gained in this manner should be of practical benefit in the adjustment of the cow's ration to her needs and in milking her and giving her other care.
In the midst of all of the interest and energy directed to the production of tilled crops it is quite natural to overlook the worth of a first class pasture, and this is true whether the same is to be used for cattle, sheep or hogs. We need a revival of interest in pastures and in conditions which make for the largest measure of pasture efficiency and production.
While the most valuable portion of the public domain has been taken up by homesteaders, there is still sufficient land not yet entered to furnish a million people with homesteads of 160 acres each. It is true these quarter sections are at a considerable distance from shipping points and settlements, but they are fertile and will produce good crops if properly handled.
It is a very good plan for the farmer who has been sticking pretty close by his work to attend the neighboring sale no matter whether he wants to buy or not. For the same reason his good wife should take in the sewing circle or the quilting bee. It means a change and relaxation, and both these conditions are necessary if either man or woman is to be in best condition for work.
A scientist in Chicago has discovered that the inroads of tuberculosis in monkeys may be stopped by placing the little animals out of doors, but providing them warm quarters in which to sleep. Human beings suffering from pulmonary complaints ought to gather a suggestion from the above facts. There is a lot of the outdoors, and fresh air is the cheapest medicine under heaven.
The 1913 fruit crop of the Grand valley, in Colorado, is said to be the direct result of using smudge pots and the production therewith of sufficient artificial heat to offset the cold snaps of last spring. Three hundred thousand smudge pots were called into use, and these were kept burning by a large army of volunteers. The value of the fruit crops saved in this manner is estimated at $3,000,000.
Figures that have been gathered by the federal department of agriculture show that there are 2,000,000,000 acres of land in the United States and Alasaka. Of this amount it is estimated that about 60 per cent, or 1,200,000,000 acres, is tillable. This includes all land that can be possibly brought under tillage with the aid of clearing, drainage and irrigation. About 21 per cent is rated as worthless for any kind of agricultural use, while 19 per cent is fit only for grazing purposes.
At $3 a box on eastern markets oranges are cheaper than they have been in a good many years. With the fruit running 17G to the box, this means that the price is 20 cents a dozen. With oranges so cheap, some housewives who are readers of these notes may be interested in the following recipe for a tried orange marmalade: Slice one dozen navel oranges and four lemons very thin without peeling. To each pound of fruit add one pint of cold water and let stand for twenty-four hours; then boil slowly until tender. Allow this to stand until the next day; then weigh and to each pound of fruit and juice add one pound of granulated sugar and cook until the mixture jellies.
The price paid for butter to patrons of creameries in the dairy states slumped from 37 to 26 cents during the month of January. This is a greater as well as a more sudden drop than has occurred for years. While the drop may be in part-explained by the admission of small quantities of butter duty free from other countries, it is doubtless more fully accounted for by the fact that butter speculators and storage men who bought butter all last season at prices considerably above what they would have paid had none of the product been put in storage found themselves loaded to the guards with spring not far away and were compelled from the very force of circumstances to unload some of their holdings.
Gummosis, a disease or affection that has played havoc in a good many cherry orchards, seems in most cases to be caused by injury or other unfavorable conditions, such as being bark bound, excessive freezing and sun scald, which is the result of alternate thawing and freezing. The disease may be checked by spraying with the concentrated lime-sulphur mixture before the buds start to grow, while in cases where the disease is due to the tree being bark bound the trouble may be modified by slitting the bark in four or five places up and down the trunk. This will cause the bark to expand and will make possible a freer circulation of sap. The varieties of cherries that seem most susceptible to damage from gummosis are the Royal Anne, Bing and Lambert.

MISS ROSALIE JONES.
The great suffrage parade in Washington can have among its ranks of distinguished and interesting women none who has made a greater impression on the public than has Miss Rosalle Jones of New York. General Rosalle's famous hike to Washington, in which she and her associates displayed pluck and endurance--that won the reluctant admiration of even the most determined of the antisuffragists, will not soon be forgotten. With her little army she has made the march from New York to Albany twice, while the march from New York to Washington was made once.
The novel thing about Miss Jones' enthusiasm for woman's suffrage is that her mother is an equally well known and ardent antisuffragist. If she cared for society Miss Jones might be a leader in the New York and Newport smart set, for her family is both wealthy and distinguished. Miss Jones, however, has been quoted as saying that fashionable society bores her. The family has a town house in New York, but since the death of her father, which occurred recently, she spends most of her time with her mother at their country place on Long Island.
Personally Miss Jones is a versatile and talented young woman. She admits having several hobbies. One of them is the collection of book plates. She is an artist of some skill and a clever amateur bookbinder. Fond of books, history is of especial interest to her.
In the fall, when the New York legislature, which is to vote for the suffrage amendment in 1915, is to be elected, Miss Jones expects to again take an active part in suffrage work, working for the election of candidates favorable to the cause.
WINDOW BOXES.
Timely and Attractive Finishes to Windows and Porches. Flower boxes make attractive additions to the decoration of porches, windows, arbors, etc. The demand for these has brought about a great variety. Study any one type of these numerous flower boxes and it will be found to be thoroughly practical and within the reach of the modest pocketbook. A few sturdy geranium plants for the upright bloomers and the hardy, much enduring variegated vincas, the ivy leafed geranium or trailing pelargonium and glossy green periwinkles and ivies may form the nucleus of the simplest or the most elaborate flower box.
Other bloomers and trailers may be added as expert knowledge of requirements and indifference to cost may allow, but for general use, under unfavorable conditions, there are few plants more acceptable than the hardy varieties mentioned for continuing year after year and serving for inside decoration when freezing weather checks their growth and beauty out of doors.
Consider the fact that fine varieties of sturdy, free blooming geraniums and any of the different varieties of trailers mentioned may be bought for 10 cents each or probably less by the dozen and that very few will be required to fill a long box, as they all grow rapidly in rich soil and will soon begin to crowd their space.
Then consider the fact that any of these plants may be propagated with amazing rapidity by simply nipping off the overgrowth of geranium branches and the trailers that are reaching far beyond their prescribed limits and tucking them beneath the old plants in the moist, rich soil.
As the slips and cuttings are propagated in the closely crowded boxes other boxes may be made ready to receive them when well rooted and, with one or two of the large plants that are beginning to crowd, may give the newly started box the appearance of having been long established.
Safety Shoe Lace Knots.
You need never fall downstairs over a trailing shoe lace if you use "Egyptian" knots. Make a tie and begin the bow in the ordinary way, but before you pull down the loops to tighten the finished knot take one loop and one end and pass them through the opening between the flat tie and the not yet tightened bow. Then draw the loops out and the bow will close down securely.
T
MIDDLE SOME AFTERNOON GOWN.
The wearing of roman stripes pleases the smart women. The demand for something different inspires the designers to combine materials of every order.
Several seasons have passed since striped silks have occupied a prominent position among the fashions, but this year finds them reinstated.
The new weaves show a wonderful blending of colors, some designs emphasizing the brilliant reds, blues, yellows and greens, while others combine the softer, darker tones.
The stripes vary in width from narrow pin stripes to those measuring two inches in diameter.
These handsome silks are allied with plain colors, and costumes of exceptional smartness are evolved from this combination. The gown pictured here was of plain and striped silk in an effective and modish combination.
MOTHERS' DAY.
Its Origin Due to a Devoted Daughter's Thoughtfulness.
Mothers' day will be celebrated on May 10. It has come to be a national affair, and its origin is said to have been as follows:
In the spring of 1908 this subject was brought to the attention of a couple of evangelists while engaged in the direction of an evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia. The suggestion was due to Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who felt led to set apart a day in honor of her own mother. Following the evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia, the clergymen conducted a meeting in Norfolk, Va., and there on the second Sunday in May was observed the first Mothers' day.
At the same time a leaflet of information and a letter of suggestion were sent to all the Presbyterian pastors by the general assembly's committee on evangelistic work. This same custom was observed for the three following years, and it was suggested that the second Sunday in May be observed for the service. It was sought to prompt the observance of this day by the proclamation by the governors and by suggestions on the part of various fraternal organizations. It was suggested that in connection with the observance of the day by churches or Sunday schools and by individuals a white carnation be worn. Each season the movement increases in popularity.
Pointers About Voids
Many of the new vells are plain or have small designs over the face only. For a vell which may be thrown back the border effects are good. Some vells have a border and a small set motif over the surface. Shadow and dotted effects are once more being worn. Silk thread designs appear in graceful figures-butterflies, orchids and simpler motifs-on a fine mesh. Fashion demands that the vell must harmonize with the hat, as does the hat with the costume, not only in color, but in its effect. Thus not one but many vells are necessary, so that one may be smartly and properly velled for all daytime occasions in the open.
High Coiffure Combs.
The high hairdressing has not become very general yet, but in a few months every one will wear this dignified style. In the meantime every woman whose aim it is to keep in touch with the new fashions when they first appear should become possessed of as many of the high, old fashioned tortoiseshell combs as she can. These picturesque combs can often be picked up quite cheaply at old curiosity shops, but they must be bought quickly, for they will soon go up in price. All kinds will be worn, but the high Spanish comb is likely to be the greatest favorite.

Surely a smart and handsome boy this in the Scotch kilts and with the pipes to his lips. Whether he is evolving music or not, the picture does not tell. Pictures do not give forth sound or we should know for sure. At any rate, he is making a brave show, this little Scotch laddle. Born in this country, he is of pure Scotch descent, although he never saw the rugged hills and clear lakes of the land of his father's birth. Proud he is of his ancestry and still more proud to be a citizen of the land of the free and perhaps a future president. Who knows? We have had several presidents of Scotch parentage, and we doubtless may have more. It is fine to be proud of your descent, but it is also a much grander thing to be in line for the presidency of the greatest of all nations—the United States of America.
Children's Songs In Scotland.
The kildies of the land of heather like verse as well as the children of other countries, and they have many nice little rimes which correspond to those used in our own land. In fact, it is quite clear that some we use as our own are plagiarized straight from Scotland—such as: Rain, rain, go away.
The rain has a reputation for being somewhat of a spoil sport in bonny Scotland, and many of the rimes, such as the above, hold a very clear wish on the part of the children that the rain man keep his distance. Coming down as they have through the centuries, it is scarce to be wondered at that many of the verses have become simply doggerel without a vestige of meaning to our modern ears—for instance, the following:
Rain, rain, rattle stones,
Dinna rain on me.
But rain on John O'Groat's house,
Far across the sea.
When the snow flies the children use this little rime:
The men o' the east
Are making their snow
And sending their feathers here away.
When a high wind sweeps over the
heather they sing:
Arthur O'Bower has broken his hands.
And he's come roaring over the lands.
The king of Scots wi' a' his power
Canna turn Arthur o' Bower.
The Bazaar on Wheels.
A pushcart fair is an amusing outdoor entertainment that will be novel to most. You can hire the carts for a small sum, and you get rid of the work of trimming booths. Those who have charge of the carts should wear the costumes of different peoples - Italians, Germans, negroes, Greeks or any others that fancy may select.
Articles for sale are arranged on the carts and sold from them as from ordinary booths. There are pushcarts for fancy articles, others for household things, still others for candy, for toys and for lemonade and cake, ice cream or tea. If you can get a hand and have pretzels and "sausages" sold from the German cart so much the better. The "sausages" are for the grab bag—small articles rolled in long folds of brown paper paper tied with fine string at each end.
A pushcart supper will furnish much amusement. Cups and saucers, plates, and so on, are bargained for at the first cart, and the supper itself is gathered piecemeal from the display on the various carts. Youth's Companion.
Buried Treasure.
In each sentence is concealed something of value.

It is particularly gratifying to note the unusual amount of interest which is being taken throughout the south in "Railroad Day," the day which as been set aside by by Booker F. Washington, the wizard of Tuskegee, for discussion of matters which pertain to the accommodations which are afforded our people on railroads. For his unselfish interest in the welfare of the race in this respect we owe the head of the greatest industrial school in the world a deep debt of gratitude. Already much good has resulted from the investigations he has made along this line and the race throughout the south should enter into the discussion of the day with vim and enthusiasm.
Of unusual amusement it must have been to Colonel Roosevelt, fresh from the jungles of the South American continent, to note on his return to New York, the hysteria with which certain newspapers and individuals are affected as to his political plans of the future. That one man can cause such an unrest in the political world is hardly conceivable, yet the same seems to be true so far as the distinguished resident of Oyster Bay is concerned. But why should we of republican persuasion worry over the Colonel's arrival or any thing else that pertains to the political future? From present indications, the political future of the Grand Old Party appears roseate. There is every reason to believe that the next general election will find the Grand Old Party once more in harness prepared for another uninterrupted reign of peace and prosperity for all people concerned. The great Bull Moose may prant as much as he likes, but we doubt that his pranting will be able to stem the tide of republican popularity and enthusiasm which is now beginning to sweep the country from one side of it to another. Take it from us that the G. O. P. is again coming into its own. The hand writing is on the wall. Meanwhile let us show our loyalty to the party which will not brook a policy of race hatred, and color prejudice as practiced against our people.
Reckonly on one or two occasions, that fearless and impartial jurist, Judge Schwarz of the Recorder's Court, found occasion to preside in cases in which mashers, at least the socalled ones, were involved. In each instance, a heavy fine accompanied by a lecture indicative of what would be the fate of the masher, if he again appeared before the court for cause was given. As a result there has been less mashing on our streets within the recent past than ever before. This condition of affairs is indeed a healthy one and comes in for no little of our approval and commendation. But while street mashing is on the wane in Savannah, it cannot be said that it is completely wiped out. On the contrary every now and then, and sometimes frequently too, our women, and some of our best ones, find themselves subjected to many insults, sometimes by word and sometimes by action on the part of certain ones who infest the streets of our city. These happenings, coming as they do, should not be and must not be. Thanks to the strong hand now guiding the recorder's court of our city, they will not be if the proper authority is appealed to whenever such happenings occur. Our women should know that whether accompanied or otherwise, they have protection from insults while on our streets. If an insult to any of them is offered, appeal should be made at once to the nearest police officer. After the arrest, then the law should be allowed to take its place. The Tribune would like to see street mashing wiped com-
pletely off the map. We sincerely hope and trust that it will. Our women by doing their duty to themselves, can go a long way toward assisting the authority in making street mashing a thing of the past.

6. Cars without smokers for colored passengers.
7 Cars without conveniences for the purchase of food.
11. Annoyances and Embarrassments
1. Location of news "butchers" in Negro coaches
Since the agents sell cigars, papers, and magazines, the colored coach is constantly being invaded by white men who usually light their cigars and begin smoking before leaving the car, thereby making a smoking car of the only car the Negroes have.
1. Use of the colored coach to transport section bands from one point to another on the road.
3. Failure to keep cars clean.
4. Permitting conductors and news "butchers" to prohibit lunch venders at way stations to bring food into cars for colored passengers.
B. CONDITIONS DESIRED:
I. Cars equipped as for white passengers to include—
passengers to include
1. At least one compartment or car for colored passengers, separate from the baggage car and from the smoker for whites.
2. Separate toilets for men and women, each properly equipped.
3. The same class of cars as used for the most favored class of passengers.
4. A smoking compartment for colored men.
5. Such changes in car construction or equipment as will provide either sleeping accommodations or reclining chair cars.
6 Such changes in car equipment or regulations as will permit colored passengers to purchase food on trains.
7. Steel cars for colored passengers wherever steel cars are used behind or before Negro coaches or before and behind them.
8. Removal of news "butchers."
9. Use of separate car or compartment for the transportation of section hands of all races, so that the colored coach need not be employed for this purpose.
10. Clean cars.
11. Permission for lunch venders to sell lunches to colored passengers in their cars, that is permission for them to center these cars.
12. Some authority to whom these matters may be referred, where friction arises, and who will, in good faith, investigate and adjust them.
4. IN GENERAL, CONDITIONS DESIRED ARE
I. The same class and quality of accommodations for colored passengers as are provided for the most favorite class of travellers.
II. Such regulations as will protect colored passengers from the rudeness and insults of employees of the railroad.
III. Some definite authority to whom these matters may be referred, where friction arises and who will in good faith, investigate and adjust them. All those who are going to act on the suggestions to make a united effort to bring about better railroad and other traveling facilities, should not omit to remind our people that they have a duty to perform as well as the railroads. First, our people should try to keep themselves clean and presentable when traveling, and they should do their duty in trying to keep waiting rooms and railroad coaches clean.
Second, it should be borne in mind that little or nothing will be accomplished by merely talking about white people who are in charge of railroads, etc. The only way to get any results is to go to the people and talk to them and not about them.

Resolved That the wisdom and ability which she manifested in this Court by service in its infancy will be held in remembrance
Resolved, That the removal of such a life from among us leaves a vacancy and a shadow realized by all the members and friends of this court.

In Memoriam of
Mrs. ROSA COOPER. who departed this life March 26, 1914 and Mrs. BELL THOMPSON, departed this life April 2, 1914. They were devout members of the Ladies' Union. We loved them but angels loved them more and they have sweetly called them to yonder's shining shore. The golden gates were opened a Father's voice said, "Come." They calmly entered home. So sleep on in Jesus' arms. All true lives there shall blossom, and bathed in the dew of righteousness, kissed in the sunlight of gladness. Some day we will find that place of rest and to God we will stand the test, crowned with stars of the brightest clime, there each bell shall forever chime.
Whereas the Almighty God has taken from our union these worthy and esteemed sisters. As we Resolved, That this memoriam be recorded on our minutes, a copy given to the bereaved and one to be published in The Savannah Tribune.
Committee,
Mrs. Matilda Fields,
J. A. Mack,

As we further Resolved, That this resolution be recorded upon our minutes and a copy published.
Respectfully,

In loving memory of our loved one,
• Mrs. ELIZABETH ROBERTS
died May 22nd, 1912
Dear Elizabeth thou was mild and
lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening;
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more shall join our number
Thon no more our song shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life is fled;
Then with joy in Heaven to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Annual.Meeting.of the.Baptist Young People's Union.Much Interest Centered in the Movement
The Baptist Young People's Union, comprising all the B. Y. P. Us. within the bounds of the Zion Baptist Association and many outside of its district, assembled in their fourth annual session known as the B. Y. P. U. Convention, at the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Rev. N. H. Whitmire, D. D., pastor and president of the Convention. The convention being held at the home church of its president, was an event cheerfully anticipated long before it actually occurred. Its features were carried out by an elaborately arranged program, and really inspired unusual enthusiasm Rev. G. G. McMier of Bethlehem Baptist Church, preached the introductory sermon, which was very befitting the occasion. Rev.
---
McTier is widely known, having followed up many of the large associations and conventions and his talent as a speaker is generally appreciated. The following night which concluded the second day's session, Rev. J. S. Wilder, white, pastor of the Southside Baptist Church, was the grand feature of the hour. He arrived, however, accompanied by his staff of deacons and was honorably welcomed by the convention at large. Having been presented to the various Unions represented in joint session by its president, Rey. Wilder preached an able sermon. During the course of his very interesting remarks, the B. Y. P. U. as an auxiliary, was clearly defined and each of its initials was given a scriptural significance. An awakening of profound interest was evident and the speaker was several times applauded. Among some of the things that Dr. Wilder said and which attracted most attention was the beauty and importance of all christians conducting themselves as becometh christians I John 3:2-3 "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us" etc., was the first among the several scriptural significations which was most appropriately applied to each of the initials of the Baptist Young People's Union. The speaker also brought to the minds of his hearers that to be born of God is most blessed and brings to us those advantages that exceed mere adoption.
The following named churches having B. Y. P. U. organizations and in regular standing were represented through delegation: Mt. Tabor Baptist Church; Rev B. H Carswell, Darien, Ga.; First A. B. Church, Franklin square; First A. B. Church, Bolton and West Broad streets; St. John Baptist Church; Bethlehem Baptist Church; Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, Rev. Daughtry, pastor and Beth-Eden Baptist Church. Formerly the convention has been restricted within the bound of the Zion Baptist Association and did for a number of years exist seemingly upon her alliance. The advocates of the various unions in their efforts to promote progress with harmony, brought forward resolutions at the present session which resulted in the elimination of sentiment which hitherto prevailed in detaining the convention in this district. It is henceforth a statewide movement and will be known as the B. Y. P. U. District Convention. Its object will be to unify and keep in constant touch with all of the said organizations throughout the state.
Following the suggestions of the presicent, Rev. N. H. Whitmire, plans will be formulated for organizing a city B. Y. P. U. comprising all of the said organizations of the city to meet in joint session quarterly. It was found necessary in view of this plan to order a call meeting of different presidents at which time it is hoped that its advantages will be clearly seen and its measures adopted. A committee of which Rev. Daughtry is chairman was immediately appointed to notify and call together these presidents with public announcements of time and place. The convention unanimously sanctioned these suggestions and adjourned in the hope that such would be carried out at the earliest opportunity. The B. Y. P. U. District Convention will meet at the New Hope Baptist Church in Bulloch county. Thursday before the third Sunday in May 1915 and ending the following Sunday night.

AMONG THE MASONS
WORDS OF-WAKNING
The degree factory is the curse
of Masonry to-day. It makes the
conferring of degrees the end and
aim of Masonic existence. It
afflicts the fraternity with the
blighting spirit of commercialism.
It puts a discourt on Masonic
knowledge, and even makes more
difficult to practice our great
principles of brotherly love, relief
and truth. Its agent is degrading
dishonoring solicitatién—a means
of advertisement which deserves
to be branded asa Masonic crime
in every jurisdiction. Weare not
without hope that the day will
come when the Lodge that has the
temerity to boast of a record in|
number of degrees conferred will
be despised as the most unworthy
among us, A Grand Master who
wishes to render his jurisdiction a
notable service cannot do better
than inauguratea campaign wrileh
will end in the abolition of <these
machines that grind out Masons’
by tho carload.— yler- Keystone. !
The Past Master’s degree is not
conferred by a Royal Arch Chap-
ter in Pennsylvania, and in order
to camply with the requirements
that a brother must be a Past
Master before he can receive the
Royal Arch degreen, he is given
the degree in a blue Lodge under
the dispensation of the Grand
Master, and must pass an examin-
ation as to his proficiency in the
Master Mason’s lecture before he
secure said dispensation. Hence,
he must show his ability to work
his way into a Blue ‘Lodge before
he can be made # Royal Arch Ma-
son. .

JRIED GRAINS FOR NORTHWEST Experiments which have been conducted during the past ten years at the South Dakota experiment station under the direction of the United States department of agriculture have resulted in the following recommendations as to best varieties of wheat, oats and barley to grow in the Dakotas and adjoining territory: Wheat-Kubanika durum, Haynes bluestem, Red Fife and Fife. Oats-Swedish Select and Sixty Day. Barley-For the eastern district, Manchuria and Odessa; for the central district, Hannchen, and for the western, Gatami and Marlout. The department names as the main requirements for crop improvement and increased production, better varieties, better seed, better rotations, better golf treatment, better tillage and cultivation and more favorable economic conditions. Farmers desiring the details of the experiments and suggestions above referred to may secure them without charge by making application to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D. C., for the bulletin, "Experiments With Wheat, Oats and Barley In South Dakota."
THE MEANEST MAN.
About the meanest man on top of God's footstool is the fellow whose wife has darned his socks, sewed buttons on and patched his pants, washed his dirty duds and got him three meals a day for nobody knows how many years and yet who, in spite of all this labor and service and a whole lot more, keeps her so short of money that she has to get down on all fours every time she wants a nickel. Great Caesar! If she were the poorest kind of hired girl imaginable she would get at least $3 a week and board. But perhaps the chaps who constitute this tribe think that the pleasure of their company cancels the amount of cash due week by week and that their wives are really indebted to them for their clothes. The only fitting retribution that comes to such fellows is to marry a second time and have their new wives read them the riot act and make them hand over the dough in large wads. This happens quite frequently and is calculated to entertain those who are familiar with the tightwad tendencies of the victims.
HIGH PRICED TRASH.
With clover seed selling on retail markets at or near $7 a bushel, there would seem to be mighty little excuse for any former monkeying with cheap stuff from some other state which is more than likely to contain the seeds of many noxious weeds, besides dirt, sand and trash. The need of giving this so called "cheap" yet very expensive, seed a wide berth is shown in the analysis made several years ago by the botanist of one western experiment station. Of 130 samples of this imported clover seed examined, nearly every sample was found to be full of bad weed seeds. Twenty-one of the samples contained Canada thistle, ninety-eight contained buckthorn, and ten contained dodder. One sample contained 10,304 weed seeds to the pound, including fourteen varieties, besides dirt and trash. In view of the fact that from $14 to $16 per bushel was paid for clover seed that season, it meant a pretty lofty price for weed seed and dirt in the showdown.
RHEUMATICS.
A friend of the writer who is not far from the "eighty" milestone stated the other day that some years ago he was afflicted with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. He tried all the doctors in his locality, but without their being able to render him material relief. As a last resort he poured some kerosene on some flannel cloths and wrapped these about his knees, keeping them there for some time. He states that this simple treatment gave him relief and that he has not suffered from this allment since. Of course it is possible that the treatment mentioned may not have had anything to do with the relief, but flannel cloths and kerosene are cheap and any one afflicted can prove or disprove the effectiveness of the cure to his own satisfaction.
THE COSTLY BAT.
Where it does not freeze in the barn or stables an effective rat.trap may be made by filling a water pall half full of chaff and scattering bran over it with a few kernels of corn on top. This should be left for several nights, a few kernels of corn being added as it is eaten by the rats. When they have got used to going to the pall the chaff should be removed and water put in its place. A coating of bran should be placed on top of this, also a few kernels of corn. The rats will come as before, but will drown, having no footing. The approach of the rats to the pall will be made the easier by placing a board from the floor to the top of it.
BEES AND SKUNKS.
The contributor of an eastern paper who some weeks ago called attention to the fact that his dwindling hives of bees were due to the nightly attacks of skunks, of which he succeeded in catching three by setting traps in front of the hives, seems to have overlooked the fact that these attacks could be entirely prevented by putting a circle of fine inshed chicken fencing around each hive or the entire space occupied by the hives. It is a safe assumption that the destruction by the skunks of noxious insects would represent a mighty good interest return on the sum invested in the fencing.

A Monster Polar Bear.
"A monster Polar Bear.
"The largest white polar bear I ever saw," said an old whaler and hunter, "was shot in November, 1855, 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 gained 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 Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon than a poor new one. Edward Everett Hale, stay where you are and go n-fishing!"—Boston Cooking School Magazine.
Arranding Matters
"Hero is a map of the route we shall take."
"So papa will be able to overtake us and forgive us."-Houston Post.
THE REAL WORKER
The man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation—John Ruskin.
Progress.
"My wife knew nothing of house keeping to begin with, but she's learning fast."
"That's encouraging."
"Oh, she's a bright little woman, if I do say it! It has taken only two cooks to teach her to keep away from the kitchen, and I suppose that's at least half the battle."—Puck.

Put the frosty bit on your own tongue before placing it in the horse's mouth.
There are no sausages made or pork chops that beat those from a 225 pound to 250 pound pig. In both cases the meat is tender, delicous and appetizing.
If the balls of binding twine that many find it necessary to keep from one harvest season to another are sprinkled with flowers of sulphur rats and mice will not touch them.
The Pennsylvania experiment station has found that when used as a part of a properly balanced ration for dairy cows rye meal is equal to cornmeal in the production of milk and butter.
A few dollars invested in a good fanning mill is well worth while, for its judicious use will mean clean seed, a better stand and better yields and will keep the land free from many harmful weeds.
A Guernsey heifer owned by a Minnesota farmer has established a new record in the production of butter fat for heifers between two and a half and three years of age. Her output was 553½ pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 700 pounds of commercial butter
According to the New York experiment station, it requires one pound of shells or their equivalent to supply the lime needed for seven dozen eggs. Grit is for grinding the food in the gizzard, and unless enough of it is supplied indigestion will likely result.
The farm value of the potato crop of the United States in 1913 is estimated at $223,000,000. In spite of the fact that the yield was smaller than for a number of years, the return for the growers was larger than for any previous year, with the exception of 1911, when the value of the crop was $234,000,000.
One of the best authorities on horse breeding in the country asserts that progeny of exceptional merit or quality cannot be expected from an inferior mare no matter how good the sire may be. There should be a hint here for horse raisers when the quality referred to is often responsible for a hundred or more dollars in the price of a horse that is sent to market.
The Wisconsin experiment station has for some years past been making cheese from pasteurized milk—that is, milk heated to a point that destroys bacterial life. It has been found that the process of pasteurization has resulted in an increase in the weight of the cheese from a given quantity of milk amounting to about 5 per cent, while the cheese made has been sold at the ruling market prices.
The federal department of agriculture suggests vigorous co-operation among farmers as the most effective means of killing chinch bugs, a pest which it is estimated has done $350,000,000 worth of damage to crops in the United States during the past sixteen years. It is the most fatally destructive pest that attacks corn, wheat and other cereals. The destruction of the insects during the winter and early spring before they become active and enter the young wheat in the spring is recommended as the most effective method of keeping the insects in check.
A feeding experiment with ewes is being conducted at the Iowa experiment station, the results of which will be awaited with much interest by breeders and feeders of sheep. The ewes which will be used for the experiment have been divided into four lots. One lot will be fed silage and alfalfa, another silage and clover, a third silage, oat straw and cottonseed meal, while the fourth bunch will get silage, oat straw and oilmeal. All four rations are well balanced, but it will be interesting to learn which lot of ewes produce the heaviest and most vigorous lambs on the cheapest outlay of feed.
The rural carriers out of a certain Kansas town, upon order of the postoffice authorities, a short time ago painted their wagons red to serve as a sort of distinguishing mark of their vocation. As one of them was jogging peacefully along his route the other day he was "distinguished" by a Jersey bull in a nearby pasture. The animal vaulted the fence, bellowed a challenge and chased this outfit, supposed to be vouchsafed the protection of Uncle Sam, a distance of two miles. This stretch was made in record time. In other districts where complaint is made that the rural service is slow Uncle Sam might accelerate it considerably by issuing the same order of having the wagons of the laggards painted red.

One had egg in a dozen sent to market naturally spoils a customer's taste for eggs and is said to reduce sales of eggs in his case from 15 to 20 per cent.
To produce eggs of the best/quality hens must be provided with an abundance of wholesome food, including grains, bran, clover or alfalfa and oyster shells.
Experiments which have been made by a good many dairymen prove beyond doubt that the more quickly a cow is milked the larger will be the per cent of butter fat that her milk will contain.
The sight of a horse tied to a town hitching post and shivering with the mercury close to the zero mark is not calculated to inspire regard for either the humanity or good sense of the owner.
In far too many instances it is those farmers who would be most benefited by the discussions at the farmers' institute who fail to attend because they are too busy or because they don't consider the deliberations of such meetings practical and worth while.
What is said to be the highest price ever paid for a single apple tree was recently paid to an Oregon farmer for a thirteen-year-old seedling which grew in a fence corner on his farm. The worth of the tree lies in the fact that it yields ripe apples every month from May to November.
Let the girls try this recipe for homemade peppermint candy: Into a saucepan put a pound of granulated sugar and a gill of boiling water and as soon as the sugar is dissolved add a tablespoonful of vinegar. Boil until a little becomes brittle in cold water, add peppermint essence to taste and drop by the spoonful on buttered or waxed paper. Candy of this kind is both inexpensive and wholesome.
'A walnut tree sold the other day in a middle western state for $250. By contrast this brings to mind the conditions a generation ago when the walnut was not prized so highly and when it was often cut into firewood for the kitchen stove and sitting room heater. The giant walnut of that day is gone, along with the Indian and buffalo, two comrades that with it enjoyed unmolested freedom before the white man's westward march.
That was a fine type of spunk displayed by a Miss Lovelace of Texas, who has recently proved up on a home-stead claim in New Mexico. In order to get a patent to the ranch from the government she lived alone in a two room shack on her claim for fourteen months. She was sixty-five miles from a railroad and twenty-five miles from a town, while her nearest neighbor was two miles away. She hunted rabbits and took rides muleback for pastime.
There is said to be but one small section in the United States where Easter lilies will grow profusely and blossom at Easter time. This is Las Palmas, a few miles below Brownsville, Tex., the southernmost town in the country. As a result of interest taken in the matter by H. G. Stiles, horticultural expert of Texas, it is likely that the federal government may establish a national park at Las Palmas, where Easter lilies and other tropical plants may be grown.
A plant closely resembling the dandelion that was imported to southern Minnesota from Germany some thirty years ago on the strength of the claim that it was a sure cure for tuberculosis bids fair to become a serious pest unless it is exterminated. It has spread over the eighty acre farm on which it was first grown and may readily spread to adjoining land, as its seeds are winged like those of the dandelion and are readily scattered by the wind. Farmers are urged to guard against the pest and are urged to send specimens to the state experiment station for identification.
There are times when feeding hogs a good tonic for a period will help them a good deal and make it possible for them to make a profitable gain in flesh. There are several tonics on the market that answer this purpose well. For those who prefer the homemade article the following recipe is recommended by the United States government: Wood charcoal, two pounds; sulphur, one pound; common salt, two pounds; sodium carbonate, two pounds; sodium hyposulphite, two pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound, and antimoy sulphide, one pound. These ingredients should be powdered and mixed and given at the rate of a large tablespoonful once a day for each 200 pounds of hog weight.
There will not likely be any debate among sensible men over the statement that if the females among the farm animals that will soon be bringing forth their young could have their way in the matter they would much prefer to be in such physical condition as to best meet the ordeal and to confer upon their little ones strong and vigorous constitutions than to be depleted and give birth to dead or weakly offspring. In a vast majority of cases tragedies among domestic animals are entirely unnecessary, being due either to the carelessness or shortsightedness of the owners, who invariably are the losers financially when these troubles occur at farrowing, lambing or calving time. Common humanity and regard for animal comfort and welfare, as well as the money consideration, should be sufficient to suggest that care which will give the desired results. This care should include dry and comfortable quarters, in which there should be the largest possible amount of both sunshine and fresh air. The rations fed should be blood and muscle forming rather than fat and heat producing and should include generous allowances of the protein feeds—clover and alfalfa hay, bran, soaked oats and moderate amounts (one part to ten or twelve of other cereals) of either oilmeal or high grade tankage. Both skimmilk and buttermilk furnish protein in a most desirable form for the brood sows and should be used whenever they can be got. The mistake made by most farmers who have trouble when the young things begin to come is in feeding a ration consisting of too much corn. Experiments have shown that corn alone is better than wheat alone, but the former should be balanced, as suggested above, by a protein concentrate. It is not too late even now to so modify the feed rations as to produce good condition for the pregnant farm animals and insure for them vigorous offspring.
A GOOD ORCHARD CROP.
Where one is near a market that will take considerable quantities of asparagus (the writer has never heard of a market that got too much of it), it makes an ideal crop to grow between the rows of young orchard trees. In making ready for the asparagus-the soil should be plowed deeply and pulverized finely with a disk. While from a dozen to twenty loads of well rotted manure broadcasted will give good results, the asparagus will do better if furrows are plowed to a good depth where the rows of the vegetable are to be planted and the manure scattered in these to the depth of six or seven inches and as many inches of soil turned back to cover the manure. The rows should be from three to three and a half feet apart and should not be placed nearer than five or six feet to the trees. The bed will give a good return in about three years and better returns as it grows older. In the course of nine or ten years the asparagus roots should be removed and the trees allowed to monopolize the ground.
SOURCES OF INFECTION.
As a result of the co-operative work that has been carried on in a number of states under the direction of the federal bureau of animal industry along the line of controlling and eradicating hog cholera some interesting facts have been published as to the most prolific sources of infection in connection with outbreaks of the disease. Sources of infection were classed roughly as of "near" and "distant" origin. It is estimated that in 45 per cent of the herds infected the disease had been spread from distant sources, while 55 per cent appear to have been infected from nearby sources. In 33 per cent of the cases investigated the infection was found to be due to the visiting of neighbors back and forth or the exchange of work. In over one-fourth of the classes birds are charged with spreading the infection, the chief offenders being crows and sparrows.
EAT THEIR HEADS OFF.
A weeding out process should be carried on in the poultry yard as well as in the dairy. Statistics show that the average hen in America lays only seventy-five eggs in a year. This means that there are a host of hens who lay a good deal less than this number to offset the output of the large number that lay more than seventy-five eggs. With egg prices as they will average during the year, these six and a quarter dozen eggs give the producer a trifle more than a dollar. The bill of fare for one of these hens, with prices of cereals as high as they are at present, is not far from $1.50. In other words, the owner is in soak about fifty cents a year on such birds and throws in his or her labor for nothing.
OLD TIME WINTERS.
There may not be any permanent change in our winters, but many an old timer cites as proof that there has been some modification of that winter some forty years ago, when a blizzard and snowstorm continued for three consecutive days and when residents on the then frontier in southern Minnesota and north Iowa were compelled to burn a good share of the household furniture to keep from freezing to death. When that storm was over the snow was found drifted in places from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep, and many a farmer had to cut a hole through his straw thatched stable in order to get feel and water to his imprisoned stock.

"Yes, dear; I fervently hope so," was the reply.
"I wish papa could go, too," continued the little fellow.
"Well, and don't you think he will?" asked his mother.
"Oh, no," replied Freddie; "he could not leave his business!"

There Was a Difference.
When Dr. Randall Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury, was a curate, one day at Dartford he took a Sunday school class in a neighboring parish. The subject was "King Solomon," and after the lesson he proceeded to catechise the children.
"Tell me, boys," he said, "what was the difference between Solomon and other men?" No answer. "Come, come!" said the future archbishop. "Was there any difference, for instance, between King Solomon and myself?

When J. M. Barrie, the author of "Peter Pan," addressed an audience of a thousand girls at Smith college during his American visit some years ago, a friend asked him how he had found the experience.
"Well," replied Mr. Barrie, "to tell you the truth, I'd much rather talk a thousand times to one girl than to talk one time to a thousand girls."
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 Dreisler's "A Traveler at Fort."

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.

As She Is Wrote in England. 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 slick with a dog bite on the arm. The man that owns the sawmills' dog bit me in the road." The excuse was accepted as sufficient.
The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., in 1882, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good coking coal and of the limestone requisite for fixing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world—Argonaut.

COMBATING HOG CHOLERA. Campaign Against the Scourge Conducted In Several States.
The department of agriculture during the past year has been conducting campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska to control the contagious disease of hogs known as "hog cholera" by means of anti-hog cholera serum and farm quarantine. In one county (Pettis county, Mo.), where there was a loss of 18 per cent in 1911 and 25.6 per cent in 1912 of all hogs raised, there was only a loss of 14.7 per cent up to November, 1913. This decrease was due to the use of the serum, which, although not used there by the department's agents until August, 1913, materially reduced the loss. About 60,000 hogs were raised during the past year, and of the 10,000 that died of the hog cholera only about 1,000 were lost after the active use of serum and quarantine measures were inaugurated.
In every county where these measures were employed, even though begun after the disease had continued its ravages for some time, there was less loss from hog cholera than in either of the two preceding years. In addition to its great function as a preventive, it has been found that the anti-hog cholera serum would cure a large proportion of hogs in the early stages of the disease and render them immune after recovery. However, if hogs are not treated by this serum from 75 to 100 per cent of all affected herds die. This serum, so far as is known, is the only thing that will prevent the disease.
Of hogs actually sick when treated, the department's inspectors lost but 25 per cent during last summer. Of well hogs in diseased herds 2.8 per cent died after being treated, and of hogs in exposed herds less than 1 per cent died after being inoculated with the serum. In an infected herd there is always a certain proportion of hogs that are well. The inspector examines the hogs when he arrives, takes the temperature of all hogs in the herd and separates the slick from the well. The temperature is an indication of the sickness. The temperature of a slick
HOG IN FIRST STAGES OF DISEASE
hog, unless the hog is near death, will
run above, 104 degrees and sometimes
as high as 107 or 108 degrees F.
The department in initiating its campaign against the devastating hog disease has only been able to commence in a few of the districts where the cholera was the most widespread and where the active co-operation of the state was offered in enforcing the ordinary quarantine measures, etc. The object of the department has been to endeavor to control the disease and if possible to eliminate it from the country. To secure this end the best efforts of the farmer himself are necessary. The campaign against this devastating sickness during 1913 was planned in the territory selected along three lines.
First—The education and organization of the farmers in the districts selected, to be carried out primarily by the state college.
Second.-The enforcement of sanitation and restrictive regulations by the state veterinarian. Third.-Active supervision by the bureau of animal industry of the department and the inoculation of diseased herds and exposed herds with the antihog cholera serum. Hog cholera is caused by a germ that exists in the blood. It is an organism apparently so small that the most powerful microscopes do not show it. However, it is easy to demonstrate its presence by inoculating a small part of the blood from a slick hog into a well one, which produces the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is a disease which seems to be stopped to a degree by the frosts of winter, although frost cannot be said to stop a case after it has taken hold of its victim. However, it seems to prevent the rapid spread of the disease. The result is that in the springtime the affection is as a rule at its lowest ebb, but increases rapidly from that time until fail.

At the government experimental station, Chico, Cal., are 30,000 seedlings of the Chinese wood oil tree, ready for distribution to farmers and others who are willing to experiment with this tree, the fruit of which produces tung oil, one of the most valuable of the so called "drying oils" used in making fine varnishes.
More than 5,000,000 gallons of tung oil, worth between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, are imported into the United States every year. The trees can be grown on poor soil almost anywhere that the temperature does not drop far below freezing. They begin to yield at five or six years of age, and it is estimated that a profit of $10 an acre can be made out of them.
Attainment of titles by corrupt means is no modern invention, at witness the following cogent postscript from a letter of the celebrated "Steenie" (Duke of Buckingham), to his majesty King James I, printed in Dalrymple's memorials: "Here is a gentleman called Sir Francis Leake, who hath likewise a Philosopher's stone; his worth but Eight Thousand; he will give it rue if you will make him a baron; I will, if you command not the contrary, have his patent ready to sign when I come down. He is of good religion, well born, and hath a good estate. I pray you burn this letter."—London Spectator.
On the authority of the best lexicographers "ledger" is an adaptation of a once common word, "iligger," signifying any large book suited better for lying on a desk than for carrying about. Sometimes this was applied to a large account book, cartulary or the like, frequently a great brevival for use in church, as distinct from a "petas," or small one, carried by a "boc bosom priest." "Concher" is another old synonym for "iligger," the foregoof of the now general "ledger."
England's Colonies.
