Three Girls' Clubs Organized.
URBAN LEGUE DOING EXCELLENT WORX
Many Girls Being Taught to Sew by Ladies in Charge of Circles—Committee on Boy's Clubs Closed Successful Baseball Season.
The committee on the girls clubs of the local branch of the Urban League has been doing some very effective work here or late and now have in operation three clubs in as many sections of city.
The supervisor of the clubs is Miss C. Emma Lewis, and each member of the committee is working hard to make the accomplishments of the clubs effective. The clubs so far organized are known as Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The clubs, or better circles, meet once a week, circle No. 1 under Miss Bessie Foster meeting every Monday in a church in Frogtown; No.2, under Miss M. Shivery meeting on Friday in the annex of the Bryan Baptist church, and No. 3, under Miss M. A. Cques, meeting at the Presbyterian church. The three circles have respectively 20, 50 and 18 members.
The first work of the circles has been very gratifying to the ladies who are giving their time and attention to the girls and the indications are that the atten-

Miss Daisy B. Ramzy and Mr. Geo. Green were united in marriage on Thursday night of last week. The wedding took place at Central Baptist Church. Rev. J. S. Irby, officiated. dance of the circle will increase as the character of the work becomes more generally known. Many of the girls have shown much aptitude for the work and are making much progress. The circles have been organized in those sections of the city where the work is most needed and it is the hope of the committee that more circles will be organized in the near future.
The committee on boys' clubs, of which Prof. J. G. Lemon is chairman, has also done some excellent work and through its efforts the Negro boys of the city were given their first regularly organized baseball league. The youngsters had a very enjoyable time and the league furnished much wholesome amusement for them.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914
MASONIC GRAND LODGE MEETS.
CONVENED IN AMERICUS, GA., LAST WEEK
Craft in a very florishing condition—But twenty-five present Who. Don't. Own .Homes—Grand Master Butler Presided.
All trains leading to Americus on Monday and Tuesday of last week, were crowded with representatives to attend the Forty-Fourth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, for the State of Georgia.
The communication was held in the spacious auditorium of the Widows and Orphans' Home and began promptly at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. When Most Worshipful Grand Master H. R. Butler sounded the gavel there was a sea of enthusiastic faces, and every one entered heartily into the opening ceremony. The devotional part was conducted by the Grand Chaplain, Worshipful Brother L. A. Townsley, D. D., who was assisted by Worshipful Brother C. Max. Manning, D. D.
The committee on credentials reported a larger number of lodges represented than ever, with an increased number of Past Masters. All of the Grand Lodge officers were present. With the reading of the minutes and the announcing of the various committees, the preliminaries were soon over and the Grand Lodge ready for business.
Before making his address, the Grand Master opened a Masonic "class" or "covenant" meeting, at which time the brethren gave their experiences of the year's work, noting progress along every line of endeavor. They entered this part of the meeting with zest and much inspiration was gained. As usual the Grand Master asked how many owned their own homes. Of the more than three hundred present nearly every hand went up. There were several who are buying their homes, and less than twenty-five owned no homes at all. The latter were urged to return home and get something. This shows the force behind Masonry. The members represent the best in every community. Grand Master Butler, for the past number of years never fails to impress upon them the importance of home ownership, living clean lives, being model citizens, law abiding, etc.
The large number of lodges owning their own lodge rooms were also noted. After these interesting events. the Grand Lodge was called to refreshment until in the afternoon. At the appointed time the Grand Lodge was opened for the purpose of holding the dedicatory services. This was opened to the public and the auditorium was packed.
The Masonic dedicatory service is interesting and inspiring. It was proven more so on this occasion than ever before. Preceding the dedication, a well arranged program was carried out, participated in by several members of the Grand Lodge. The singing on this occasion was indeed inspiring. The dedicatory sermon was preached by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. L. A. Townsley, D. D. It was a great effort, able and spirited. The commendation of all who heard it was extended the speaker. After the sermon the dedicatory service was carried out, the Grand Lodge officers taking active parts. At its termination, Mrs. Viola E. Hart. Royal Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, was called on and gave interesting remarks and presented the Grand Lodge with about $600 collected from the ladies of the Eastern Star for the Orphan Home. This was heartily accepted by the brethren. Mrs. Butler, wife of the Grand Master, was called on and elicited many an amen from those present. Mrs. Butler is an elocutionist of great ability and on this occasion greatly impressed the brethren.
After the services the Grand Lodge was called off until Wednesday morning. At night the local lodges prepared a reception for the representatives. A number of ladies

LEADING CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LEADING CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FIRST FOUR IN EACH CLASS GIVEN
Attendance of Schools Largest in History of System. New School Will give Accommodation to Many More Pupils.
For the first time in the history of the Negro public schools of the city, The Tribune is giving this year the first four pupils in each grade of the system.
The information will most likely prove of much interest to those interested in the schools and at the same time be an encouragement to the pupils to make the best of their time in school as the names of the first four will be published after each examination during the year.
The enrollment of the schools this year has been the largest yet, the East Broad having 857, West Broad 850, Maple $ ^{9} $ 550. and the Cuyler 260 a total of 2517.
The new Cuyler street school which opens in October will afford accommodations for about 1000 pupils and this will add greatly to the total enrollment of Negro schools.
The following are the first four pupils in each grade, with yearly averages.

PEKIN THEATER PLAYING TO LARGE CROWDS
New Ice Cream Garden of House Soon Completed.
Regardless of the fact that for the past two weeks the city has been complaining of the most unprecedented warm nights, yet patrons of the Pekin theater find no discomfort in visiting this popular playhouse, so well ventilated is it. In fact many of the weekly patrons are bold in their expressions concerning the comfort that is to be found here during the hot summer nights. In view of the fine ventilation of the house the attendance has of late been remarkably large while other places of indoor amusement have been complaining of small patronage. The shows for the past month have been much enjoyed and manager Stiles is very much pleased with the appreciation the public is showing in his efforts to give the local public a good clean show. The ice cream garden which will be conducted by the theater in the spacious arcade in the front of the house is about half way completed and when finished will be an added attraction for the large crowds that so often have to wait for the second show. On Thursday Friday and Saturday nights of the coming week special three and six reel pictures will be shown.
Negro Retains Heavy Weight Championship.
JACK JOHNSON GETS DECISION OVER MORAN
Champion Comes Through Fight Without a Mark, While White Man's Face Bears Evidence of the Fight—Johnson Receives $35,000.00 for Fight.
Jack Johnson the Negro who won the championship of the world four years' ago from Jeffries at Reno, Nev., by defeating Frank Moran on points in their twenty round bout in Paris last Saturday night, retains his title and wins a purse of $35,000.00. The loser receives $5,000. Each receives a share of the profits of the moving pictures of the battle.
Johnson earned Referee Carpentier's decision rather easily. He bore no signs of punishment at the end, while Moran's face was badly bruised and cut.
The champion fought cautiously throughout. He was the master at all stages, having Moran in straits at times. In the final rounds Moran held on frequently, and in the last spectators jeered him for this.
The referee warned both men for clinching, Johnson's offenses being committed early in the contest.
The crowd entirely filled the Velodrome d'Hiver, in which the fight was held, and there were more than 30,000 persons present, including several hundred women.

APPEARANCES
Do not allow yourself to be misled by appearances. Epictetus says: "Appearances to the mind are of four kinds—things either what they appear to be, or they neither are nor appear to be, or they are and do not appear to be, or they are not and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task."
Dancing on Talcum Powder.
It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid over this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it, every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles.—New York World.
A Shipwreck.
Muggins, gazing intently at a dead dog, in a resigned tone at last said:
"Here is another shipwreck."
"Shipwreck! Where?" blurted out Juggins.
"Where, my dear friend?" quoted M.
"There is a bark lost forever."
Juggins growled and passed on—London Fun.

CRAPE AFTERNOON GOWN.
Very wide girdles of materials matching the gown are seen on some imported models. Illustrated here is a gown of figured crape in sweet pen shades of pink and lavender. The wide girdle is edged with a ruching of pink taffetta ribbon, an embellishment which is seen also on the short sloped tunic and on the turned back cuffs. The vest and collar are of white organdie.
CAMPING OUTFITS.
What Is Needed For the Use of the Outdoor Girl.
With summer the careful mother begins to think of camps for her growing girls. Where to send them is no more a matter of weight than how to outfit them inexpensively but comfortably. One sporting goods house has just opened a department for girls wherein everything from cap to sneaker may be obtained.
The first item, if the girl is to go to a regular camp, is, of course, bloomers. They range from black, navy blue or tan drill to those of black or navy blue serge, finished in the best manner.
Middy blouses to wear with them come in white without trimming, except for the blue or red collar and cuffs. There are stars on the collar, cuffs and pocket. The collar is a sailor or one, cut open at the neck, and the sleeves are three-quarter ones. For the smaller girl there are two piece suits of one material. They come in good quality drill, in tan, with a navy blue or red sailor collar and trimming or in solid navy blue without trimming. For girls up to twelve years only the same suit comes in smaller sizes.
One piece swimming suits come in cotton serge in black or navy blue, in poplin in black or brown or in galatea in black or navy blue. They have the bloomers and blouse attached under a belt, but are made loose enough to allow free use of the limbs.
White canvas sneakers, high cut, with rubber soles, are about $2 a pair. They are not the only sneaker or outing shoe carried, however. The shop is stocked with every conceivable camping accessory, from woolen outing stockings to angora tam-o-shanters.
Black and White Wicker:
There is something quite attractive in the black and white wicker furniture. The pieces are so woven that the alternate colors are formed into broad bands or squares to decorate the chairs, tables, couches, etc. The creators of the black and white wicker also make the unusual pieces of furniture that give harmony to plaza and porch furnishings. These include the pretty wicker trays with folding legs (similar to those imported from Japan) and the porch pole vases and various flower holders. Of course these can be had in new designs in smoked bamboo, but the latter would not harmonize well with the black and white wicker.
The Vogue of Braid.
Colored braid is a popular trimming for suits. Usually braid of the color of the suit is used, but sometimes braid in dark blue or black or green is used. Braid sashes are one of the notes for the season. They are generally formed of two strips of braid stitched together lengthwise to form a girdle or sash five or six inches long. They are made of braid woven in various combinations of deep red, dark blue and green and black.
Coloring Matting.
To dye matting, thoroughly clean it and then apply the dye with a broad, flat paint brush. A ten cent package of dye makes a gallon of coloring. When dry the matting can be made into rugs if desired. Each piece of the matting should be thoroughly cleaned before another part is done.
"He who laughs best laughs last, you know." "Does that" include, the Englishman?"—Exchange.
Badly Named.
There is a man in a midland town whose name is Burst. It is a misfortune that would not have-attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will. London Mall.
The Blue Sky.
The blue sky which reveals itself as the hemispherical vault of the firmament in the absence of clouds is the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which they receive. The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vibrations—that is, with the "blue" undulations. There are a few faint interminglings of the other colored rays in the blue of the sky, but they are in such trifling quantity that the blue swallows them up.
She—What did papa say when you asked him for my hand?
He—Why, he couldn't say a word.
"He couldn't?"

Freshening It.
"Don't you ever change your mind?"
"Of course," replied Miss Cayenne.
"It is very desirable to change your mind occasionally in order to call attention, to the fact that you had any in the first place."—Washington Star.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic. The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty-five minutes, cinnamon will kill some species in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty-five minutes. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of some geranium flowers has destroyed various forms of microbes in fifty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve minutes and is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that flowers which are found in Egyptian mummies were placed there more for their antiseptic properties than for merely ornamental or sentimental purposes.—London Globe.
Homemade Humor.
There is a judge in a certain eastern city noted for his grouch. The most comical incident has no more effect on his frown than upon a wooden Indian. But one day a lawyer who had tried in vain to make the judge laugh walked into court and found the jurist doubled up with mirth. The lawyer hurried to his colleagues.
"Dinner to the man responsible for that," he said. "Who told the story? Another lawyer drew a sheet of paper toward him and wrote the words, "The judge."-Baltimore American.
Making It Easy.
Wife—What's this—a new box of cigars? Didn't you just swear off smoking? Hub—Certainly! That's why I bought this box; I'd be crazy for a cigar if there wasn't one in the house. —Boston Transcript.
A Mean Man.
Tommy—Pop, a man is a bachelor until he gets married, isn't he? Tommy's Pop—Yes, my son. Tommy—And what does he call blimself afterward? Tommy's Pop—I'd hate to tell you, my son. Philadelphia Record.
Businesslike.
The Beloved One — You object to Horace because he's not businesslike. Stern Parent—Certainly; he's only after you for your money. Beloved One—Well, pa, doesn't that prove he's businesslike?
There Was a Change.
A government inspector, entering a rural postoffice, expressed surprise upon seeing a woman at the delivery window. "I was under the impression," said he, "that a man was in charge of this office."
"And so he was," replied the woman sharply, "but I married him."—Atlanta Constitution.
The "Need Not Tell You" Man.
"I need not tell you," says the philosopher of folly, "that when an orator starts with the words I need not tell you' he goes right ahead and tells you all that he naged not tell you."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Worse Off.
"The bachelor is worse off than the married man? How do you make that out?" "The married man is afraid of only one woman; the bachelor is afraid of all of them."—Houston Post.
Notes That Come Due.
Kent—Are you ever affected by the lingering notes of "My Old Kentucky Home?" Bent—No, but the lingering notes of my remodeled New England home frequently take a rise out of me. Judge.
Such Vanity.
"I have always wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life."
"Why don't you? You're rich enough to do as you please. I should think you'd buy a place in the country and spend the rest of your days in rest."
"I would, only I'm afraid my friends would think, if I gave up the gay life, that I must be getting old."—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cutting the Finger Nails. Cutting the finger nails appears to have been the most indispensable service the ancient Roman barber rendered to his patrons. Martial, chatting a top who had tried to dodge the barber by using plasters to remove his beard, asks triumphantly. "How are you going to manage about your nails?" And the miser in Plautus collects the parings of his nails from the barber to make something out of them, apparently never dreaming that he could save money by cutting them himself.
News From London About New York. A curious cause has brought Monday into fashion with the New York theater goer. Many years ago the wealthy people—who could afford to put their laundering out—became distinguished from the poorer people, who had to do their washing at home. The richer could show up at the opera on Monday evening.-London Chronicle.
Those Chilly Boston Girls.
The beautiful Boston girl was alling, and a physician had been summoned. "Doctor," said the fond mother, "is it anything serious?"
"At present," replied the wise medical man, "I am not prepared to state. We must await developments. She has a high fever. Her temperature is thirty-five!"— New York Globe.
SMALL DUTIES.
It does not matter if the greatest thing for you to do be not in itself great. The best preparation for greatness comes in doing faithfully the little things that lie nearest. The nearest is the greatest in most human lives.—David Starr Jordan.
Witch Hazel.
A fact little known is that the home of witch hazel is in Connecticut. The annual output of this article is about 25,000 barrels, of which the greater part comes from a limited district in eastern Middlesex county. The rest comes from New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.-Indianapolis News.
Being a Good Boxer
In a story in the American Magazine by Elmer E. Ferris one of the characters comments as follows on the advantages of learning how to box:
"The good of it lies right here. It increases a man's self confidence, and that protects him from trouble. Haven't you ever noticed among dogs that when a dog is a scrapper the other dogs leave him alone, but if he is afraid they pitch into him? Men are something like that. Another thing: Boxing increases a man's aggressive spirit, although if he is anything of a gentleman it doesn't make him quarrelsome. Then, too, it is better than any other exercise in taking the fear of physical injury out of a man."
So It Does.
An Irishman was asked how many legs a horse has. "Eight," he replied; "one at each corner and two on each side."
"Don't you think that a foolish answer?" he was asked.
The Irishman replied with wisdom when he said. "A fool question deserves a fool answer."—London Answers.
The Glove on the Pole.
A quiet custom in an English town. Honiton is "proclaiming the fair." The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lord of the manor so long ago as 1257, and the fair still retains some of the picturesque characteristics of bygone days. The town crier, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gilt model of a gloved hand, publicly announces the opening of the fair, as follows: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The fair's begun, the glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down." Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove remain displayed until the end of the fair.
A Clock Case Made of Pennies
A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are ninety-six, all bear the date 1797 and were beaten out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the figures were made of small strips of copper cemented on to the face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inches broad at the base. That "time is money" is an adage with which we all more or less agree, but this is a case in which the saying might be reversed and still remain true. The clock is owned by a resident of Laurel Bank, Ilkley, Yorkshire, England.
The Goveted Hand.
The young man had gone to the hekress' father—always a ticklish job—but he took his courage with an iron grip.
"Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand."
The old man, not in the least disconcerted, said:
"Which hand? The one she signs checks with, I suppose."
Both Disappointed
Wife—If I'd known that you were after my money I would never have listened to you. Husband—And if I'd known you'd be so mighty close with your money I would never have proposed. Philadelphia Ledger.

There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor. Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze.
Making It Last.
A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express.
To Make Shaving Easier.
To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan:
Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaselline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked—London Field.
The Real Thing.
Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband hard to get along with? Mrs. Bocker—Very.
If I give him a poor dinner he wants a divorce and I give him a good din-obbying—New York
- "There were seven of the twoke," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again."
"And you had to submit, I suppose, for they constituted the majority?"
"Yes. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be faceless—Chicago Tribune.
Mexican Hats.
A hat such as is worn by Mexicans may cost anywhere from 5 cents to $500. The better ones weigh from six to eight pounds and carry many dollars' worth of silver and gold trimming.

Saturday July 4, 1914.
This is the season for secret or-
der conventions. During last
week the Masons of the state met
in .their annuxl cohyocation at
Americus, Ga., where inthe usual
quiet and unostentatious way,
much legislation of a constructive
nature was effected for the good
of the order. It is indeed yratify-
ing to note from the reports that
this rent order continues to grow
both in strength and influence. In
afew more days, another of the
state’s successful fraternal orde s,
the Knights of Pythias, will be in
annual session at Valdosta. We
have no doubt that the coming
session of the Knights will result
in much good for the order.
-Thore is connected with this order
some of the most intelligent and
influential men of the state. They
are successful business and pro-
fessional’ men and day laborers.
We have no doubt that when they
meet in convention assembled, be-
ginning July 13th uext, that their
sagacity and good sense will carry
the order much further forward
on its way to prosperity and suc-
cess. Mesting as they doin South
East Georgia, the order will have
‘opportunity to get a first taste of
South Enstern hospitality. as serv-
ed by the citizens of Valdosta.
Knowingas we do what Valdosta’s
hospitality means, We have no
hesitancy in saying that there will
‘be many who, once having tasted
the hospitality of Valdosta, will
want to voteto her the anvual
meeting place for all future crand
lodge meetings. Wo anticipate
nothing save pleasure and profit
to the atténdants to the coming
Grand Lodge Session of Knights
of Pythias in Valdosta. May
much.success come to the order
through their meetingin Valdosta.
It is indeed both amusing and
tragic, too, to note thedilemma in
which the Presideat ofthe United
States now finds himself anent
federal jobs now held by Negro
appointees of previous adminis-
trations. Apparently desirous of
giving due recognition to the de-
mands of the demsgogue and Ne-
gro-hating element of the party,
the President seems to have reach-
ed the conciousnnss at last, that
pre-election promises should not
be thrown to the wind with impu-
nity. According to recent dis-
patches, it is reported that the
President has given Senators
Smith, Vardeman and others who
have called upon him and demand-
ed the complete elimination of
Negroes from allappointive offices
in the government, that as per
promise, Negroes will succeed
Negroes in offices whichthey have
always held. As to how the Pres-
ident can carry out this announc-
ed program of his and at the same
time retain the support of the Ne-
gro-hating members of Congress,
remains to be seen. As we see it,
President Wilson has nothing to
lose in taking a couragous and
manly stand forthe right. Our
people have as much right to his
protection and safeguarding as
any other people onthe American
soil. They are citizens of the
United States and, in a_ measure,
constructive ones too. Then why
should the door of opportunity
te closed to them? ‘The high ap-
pointive offices held by our people
have been well merited. Tney
have been faithfully and efficient-
ly kept. It isa known fact that
in many instances federal offices
held by our people have the high-
est rating for efliciency on record.
Then why should the president be
made to swerve from his path of
duty in giving continued recogni-
tion to Negro manhood and effici-
ency, just to satisfy the ambition
of a noteriety seeking minority to
gain public recognition at the ex-
pense of our people. President
Wilson is evidently up against a
difficult proposition. A struggle
between sentiment and duty must
inevitably possess him. As to
which of these will be triumphant,
remains to be seen-
While wo do -not-exactly ap-
prote of some of the escapades
Juck Johnson ‘has figured in yet
weadmire his physical prowess
and are pleased with the result of
his recent fizht in Paris, when be
detested another ‘white hope”
and retained the heavy weight
pugilistic championship for the
Negro race: ‘The fight of last
Saturday has had at least one
savory feature, which every one
must note, and that is that the
biack champion could hardly haye
been guilty of the {riotous life
which so,many accounts for the
past two years;have accused him
of and bein the excellent condi-
tion his Jast tight showed. Per-
baps the many riotous escapades
and the fast life which thechamp-
ion has been accused of living
have been more the result of
prejudiced minds and a hope thet
the-e Unings weretrue. We real-
izu-the fact that it does not re-
quire much experience for one to
learn that a Negro with means,
such as Johnson possesses is often
aecused of fast living by many of
the opposite race, when as 2 mat-
ter of facthe is only living in pro-
portion to his means and enjoying
those pleasures of life which
money brings, Certainly his
physical condition disproves thess
reports and shows that he has far
from waisted his vitality in wines,
late hours und the like. Fergecs
if his skin were of a d.fferentthue
his mode of living would receive
the stamp of approval from many
of the writers who have sent broad
cast to the world reports of his
fast living and run downcondition
and he would simply bave been
spoken of as enjoying in a mild
manner the fruits of his victories.

were present and an enjoyable
time was spent.
Immediately after the opening
on Wednesday morning, the
Grand Master delivered his ad-
dress. It was replete with good
things and touched on every phase
of Masonic life. These addresses
of Grand Master Butler are al-
ways out of the ordinary and con-
tain salient points that are mainly
beneficial. :
The report of the Grand Secre-
tary was given in detail and show-
ed the enormous amount of work
done. He reported a ‘larger col-
lection than ever before ‘The re-
‘port of the Grand Treasurer cor-
roborated that of the Grand Secre-
tary and further showed the ex-
‘penses and balance on hand. The
amount on hand isthe largest on

The Secretary-Treasurer of the
‘Masonic Relief Association, was
listened” to with rapt attention.
The report shows this department
to be in a healthy condition. The
collections for the year, the
amount brought forward and bal-
ance on hand with each item of
expense were given. No relief de-
partment of any organization is
better carried on than ours. And
none of them can boast of a more

plicit trust in him- ro.
The Secretary.of the Orphans
Home reported a record breaking
collections This department is on
better basis than ever.
The Trustees of the. Orphans
Home gave a glaring report and
showed that the Home is in a
healthy condition. The orphans
are well cared for and schooled.
The building bas been renovated
from top to bottom. New fur-
niture were purchased, the bed
clothing immaculate and every-
thing about the building neat and
up to-date with a matron that any
institution could be well proud of.
Miss Battle has had charge for
about a year and has inaugurated
a wholesome atmosphere around
the-Home and is highly regard-
ed by everybody and much beloved
by the orphans.
‘The brethren were so well pleas-
ed with the executive officers and
the excellent work done by them,
that they unanimously re-elected
them to their respective positions.
Only two changes were made, that
of the Wardens. Worthy broth-
ers were selected as Grand War-
deas.
All of thereports of the respect-
ive Committees were replete with
useful information, and presented
ina manner that caused the Tapt
attention of the brethren.
No grand body has a finer set of
trained workers than this one, and
for this reason every report is
prepared and rendered properly,
aud meet with but few reversals
on the floor of the Grand Lodge.
Adorning the walls of the Grand
Lodge are the life size busts of
former Grand Masters who have
passed from “labor to refresh-
ment.” They are Past Grand
Masters, J- M. Simms, Jobn 5.
Deveaux, A- K. Desverney, Alex-
ander Harris and W. E. Terry.
The brethren of the lodges in
Americus tried to redeem them-
selves by showing more hospitali-
ty to the representatives and to
prove that they appreciate the:
annual gathering in tneir city.
Possibly ne x5 year the Grand
Lodge will be héld elsewhere.
Attention has already been di-
rected tothe semi-centennial of
the Grand Lodge. Thismay be
held in Savannah, and plans. will
be laid to make it an eventful
gathering.

I can positively cure your corns and and other feet trouble. It is very important that you have your feet treated if you are suffering with the above complaint. It has been proven by the best medical men that many diseases that afflict other parts of the body is caused from neglected feet. The skin is one of the three principal channels by which the body casts off impurities. It is estimated that in every square inch of the souls there are 2,685 sweat glands and these serve to aid Nature in throwing out of the system the filth, the carbonic acid and disease which have found their way into the blood and lymph channel I treat rheumatism, my foot draft sweat the poison through the soles of the feet I have a fine preparation for sore tired feet, price 25 cents a bottle.

BUTTERMAKING SUGGESTIONS.
kaa: tatety pubtaned Seme ceidonned
has lately published some condensed
‘hints on farm buttermaking which are
good for farmers everywhere. If fol-
Jowed there would be great improve-
ment in the quallty of American dairy
butter. ‘The suggestions as given be-
low- should be used for reference:
Cool the.cream from the separator ns
soon as possible to 85 degrees F. or
lower.
Never mix warm cream with cool
creani.
‘Mir all the cream to be chumed fn
one vat or can at least elghteen hours
before churning.
| Ripen at a temperature of 70 to 75
degrees B. for from six to elght bours,
stirring frequently during this period.
Cool cream to churning temperature
as soon as ripe.
Let the cream stand elght hours or
more (overnight) at the churning tem-
perature.
‘The temperature of churning ought
to be such os to make the butter come
in from thirty-five to forty minutes,
‘usually 55 to 60 degrees F.
If ft is desired to use artificial col-
orine it should be added to the cream
Just before churning.
|" Stop churning when the granules are
‘about the size of peas,.varying to the
‘ize of wheat, and draw off the but
termill.
Wash the butter once with pure wa-
‘ter at the churning temperature, agi-
tating three or four times, and then
drain.
‘Wash a second time with water
about 4 degrees above churning tem-
perature, agitating seven or eight
Himes, and drain.
Add the salt wet while the butter
4s in granular form, using about one
to one and one-balf ounces for each
pound of butter, according to the de
mands of the market.
‘Work the butter just enough to dis-
tribute the salt evenly.
If the butter fs to go on the mar
ket it should be put up in neat, at-
tractive packages.
A SHEEP AND WOOL CONFER-
ENCE.
On Jone 2, 8 and 4 there was held
in Washington a conference of those
interested in the sheep and wool in-
dustry. Among many important top-
fes discussed were the manufacturing
value of American wools, the improve-
ment of farm and ranch methods of
handling wool, the possible adaptation
of foreign methods to American con-
ditions, the standardization of the
wool clip and the prevention of losses
by dogs and other predatory animals.
Asa rule, American wools are of high
quality, but the indiscriminate sack-
ing of wool, the use of poor twine and
of insoluble paint in marking sheep
are jointly responsible for a loss to
producers estimated at from 5 to 20
per cent of the total clip.
SABRITS DESTRUCTIVE.
From the standpoint of the writer It
seems Ike a good deal of a fiasco for
rabbits to be protected by law, as they
are in a number of central and east-
em states, when they do a very large
amount of damage to farmers and gar-
deners. Even though they may pull
up some corn and eat some newly
planted seed, there is ground for pro-
tecting pheasants and quail, for they
more than pay for their cost of keep
in the service they render. The rab-
bit, however, performs no such serv-
ice, and the only excuse for encourag.
ing their propagation is that men and
boys may have something to sboot at.
However, this ought not to weigh
against the financial welfare of the
farmer and gardener.
SULPHURET OF LIME.
The following 1s an English recipe
for making sulphuret of lime, ;which
fs recommended as a remedy for cur-
ing poultry of the feather eating babit,
Put three or four lumps of freshly
burned lime tho size of an egg into an
fron pot and slake with boiling water,
then stir in about six ounces of flow-
ers of sulphur and add gradually two
quarts of boiling water, stirring the
while. - Boll for an hour or so, then
pour off the clear liquid, bottle and
cork tight. A tablespoonful of this
liquid to every six hens, put into the
mash, is the best way to give it. Given
a couple of times a week, this remedy
1s said to Keep the plumage in good
condition and soon puts a stop to the
feather eating habit.
ABOUT TRIMMING TREES.
For those who undertake the trim-
ming of trees for the first time it is
‘a suggestion worth remembering to
saw from beneath close to the tree on
Lmbs of considerable size. After mak-
ing a cut of fair depth the sawing may
be done from the top side. ‘This pre-
caution prevents the splitting down of
the mb and the marring of the trunk
Just beneath. A further safeguard in
the cutting off of large Umbs fs to take
them off a foot or more from the trank,
later taking off tbe stub. All limbs
should be remored in such a way that
the cut will be as close to a an
possible and on a line with i one of

found a valuable element in the manu-
facture of soap.

Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Paulliac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape-Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea.

Tinning the Attachs
A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mail. As an attache and feeling very pleased with himself, as he records, he was once told that he was wanted in the anteroom of our embassy at Paris. There an old man addressed him as a "clerk" and demanded a passport to Russia. When he received it he handed Sir Hubert half a crown, saying: "It's for you, you know. I know what clerks are. Bless you, they do like an occasional tip."
