The Savannah Tribune FOLKS GO PICNICKING" URBAN LEAGUE GIVES AN ENJOYABLE OUTING Over Forty-seven Take in the Trip to Cattle Park Last Week —Many Donations Made— Other Activities of the League. With the possible exception of Christmas donations last year to the poor of the city by the local branch of the Urban League the most praiseworthy accomplishment of the league was the picnic given for the poor old folks of the city at Cattle Park on Wednesday of last week. The affair has been very generally commented upon and the adult committee of the league, known as the Willing and Sunshine Workers, and whose chairman is Mrs. Rachael Moore, received many congratulations from those who saw the picnickews going through the city. The money to defray the expenses of the outing was raised by the committee from subscriptions given by friends. There were in all about forty-seven old folks who took in the outing and the happiness which escaped through their worn and wrinkled countenances was evidence of the joyous times they experienced during the day. Some of the experiences of the day were truly novel to most of those who were able to take the outing in, especially is this true of those who were conveyed in the auto truck. As is the case with many elderly persons, almost without exception those who rode in the motor truck had a preconceived idea of danger arising from riding in an automobile of any sort and it was not without much coaxing that most of them were persuaded to take a chance in getting in aboard the snorting cars, the drivers and by-standers enjoying the many quaint remarks made by the old folks as they watched the loud exhausting machines—but no harm befell the picnickers and now they are automobile enthusiasts. The picnickers left from the two sections of the city, those on the west side starting from the First Bryan Baptist Church and picking up others at the Union Station and The Tribune building, the Eastside crowd joining the Westsiders at the picnic ground. The scene at the grounds was a most impressive and enjoyable one, the old folks conducting themselves as if they were children. It was the first outing for many of them in the past twenty-five years, and the affair reminded one of the good old time camp meetings of years ago. After enjoying a few hours consumed in reminiscences of the past, dinner was had and the old folks who had breathed the pure salt air for the first time in a quarter of a century ate with an appetite which would have done justice to a Sunday school crowd, Rev. W. L. Cash of the Congregational church, and Mr. T. F. Freeman were present during the entire day and assisted in entertaining the picnickers. After dinner a good old time spiritual meeting was held on the pavillion over the river and the old folks were addressed by Rev. J. L. Taylor of the Episcopal church, Rev. Dan, Wright of the First Bryan Baptist church, Rev. Cash and Rev. Green. The old folks seemed to take in with unusual interest the remarks that were made and many a hearty "amen" was given the speakers. But to the younger persons who were at the services the most impressive thing was the jubilee singing and playing of the old folks. The very trees themselves resounded with praise as the old time pieces were sung by the old folks and the younger folks looked on as if in amazement as the old folks gave vent to their long pent up feelings. One old lady, especially, whose age she did not exactly know but which would be in the neighborhood of a hundred and twenty-five years, if the historical events she has witnessed were not woefully twisted, was a live wire in the. meeting and her prayer was truly of the sort that .Carnegie . Library . Dedicatino .Postponed The dedicatory exercises of the Colored Carnegie Library which were to take place this coming Wednesday afternoon have been indefinitely postponed on account of an unavoidable delay in the work on the building. Notice of the date of the dedication will be given later in The Tribune. Savannah Man Honored Mr. Elijah Alex. Hamilton, formerly of this city, now residing in Philadelphia, Penn., is spending his vacation attending the Young People's Congress at Atlanta, Ga., July 8th to 12th as a delegate from mother Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which he was elected treasurer last April, and is serving his second term as president of the Ushers Brotherhood and Ladies Auxiliaries of Philadelphia, an interdenominational organization. They recently presented to him a gold medal for faithful service. Mr. Hamilton is employed at the Navy Y. M. C. A. building, League Island. Carpenters Union to Worship at St. Stephen's. The local members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners will attend services in a body at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church tomorrow night to celebrate their fifteenth anniversary. The sermon to the Union will be preached by the rector, Rev. J. L. Taylor Rev. Nesbitt to Address B. Y. P. U. Rev. Nesbitt of the Hull Memorial Church, will address the B. Y. P. U. of the First A. B.

Imperial Branch The members of the Ladies Branch of the Imperial Aid and Social Club have selected Mrs. Sarah Maxwell to act as head of the committee on health during the absence of Mrs. F. Proctor who is off on a vacation. Mrs. Maxwell is well fitted for the position and the office will be well taken care of by her. Mr. George Anderson of Philadelphia, is in the city visiting his brother, Mr. Joseph Anderson. so generally called "soulstirring." It caused her companions to ejaculate many a strong amen and made many of them shout as if they were twenty-five years younger. The meeting lasted allittle over an hour and a half and those in charge of the picnic, wishing to avoid nightfall, had a time to peruse the picnickers that it was time to return to the city. On the road home the singing continued until a mile from town the songs gradually died out, and the old folks were seen to drop off in sleep, one by one. The picnic was given on the grounds of Mr. G. J. Moore, Cattle Park, in former years a popular place for picnics. The committee investigated 85 homes and from them secured 47 persons who took the outing in. Many more might have gone, but for lack of clothing and ill health, the members of the committee are, Mrs. Sarah Robinson; Mrs. Henrietta Dear, Mrs. Lucy Newton, Mrs. Josephine Singleton, Mrs. Barbara Williams, Mrs. Sarah Wright, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. White and Mrs. Rachel Moore. The League has been making much progress in the city accomplishing much good both among the young and old. The boys club has just closed the first regulary organized baseball league among Negro boys of the city and the committee on girls clubs is now conducting three circles in as many portions of the city, attended by an aggregate of ninety girls. The committee on Industrial farm has also done much effective work and is hoping, in the future to have the youths who are present there instructed in elementary branches of English. The president of the league was at the picnic, as was a'so our Negro photographer, Mr. J. W. Continued on page Four) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 11. 1914 Johnson-Walden Miss Henrietta Johnson of this city and Mr. Howard Walden of Fort Valley, Ga., were happily wedded at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary L. Johnson, 622 West 41st street, on Wednesday evening July 1st. Midst the beautiful strains of Mendelshon wedding march, rendered by Mr. James Durden and Mr. Robert Green of the Metronome Orchestra, the ceremony was performed by Rev. Singleton in the beautifully decorated home. The bride entered the room assisted by her uncle, Mr. Daniel Alexander, where they met the groomman and his brother, Mr. Austin Walden of Macon, Ga., who was his best man. The bride was handsomely arrayed in a gown of white crepe de chine embroidered and trimmed with pearls and made entrained, and wore a very becoming bonnet trimmed with orange blossoms with a beautiful cornet shaped spangle with the bridal veil touching the train and carried a showered bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the valley. Miss Marietta Jordon of Fort Valley, the bride's cousin, was the bridesmaid. She was beautifully gowned in a blue crepe de chine trimmed in shadow lace and pearls and carried a bouquet of pink roses. Little Miss Vera Louise Jordon of Fort Valley, Ga., was the flower girl. She was very becoming dressed in a blue silk under shadow lace. She carried a beautiful basket of ferns and carnations. Little Thelma Jordan neatly dressed entered bearing the handsome ring on a pillow of white satin. The bride's mother was very beautifully gowned, decorated with a beautiful bouquet of carnations and ferns. Immediately after the ceremony light refreshments were served and Mr. and Mrs. Walden entrained for Fort Valley, Ga., their future home. The bride wore a very becoming traveling suit with hat to match. The bride being a teacher at Maple street school until the closing of the term was greatly remembered by the principal and teachers, as well as by a host of friends by their numerous and handsome presents. On Thursday afternoon July 2nd, Mr. and Mrs. Walden were tendered a reception at Fort Valley, Ga., by Mr. H. J. Jordon, uncle of Mrs. Walden, Beth-Eden Church Services were well attended Sunday, an dthis was a very busy day for the Rev. Clarke, the pastor. He preached three sermons during the day, having had a funeral immediately after the morning service, he preached from I Thess, 2:18, "Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I. Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us." At the communion service at night his text was taken from Luke 22:19; the sermon was, indeed a powerful one, in it, Rev. Clarke waxed eloquent. This service was very impressive. Come and we let you out early. You will find plenty of fans and ice water. There was an interesting meeting of the B. Y. P. U. Sunday; several of the deacons and members gave interesting talks on the lesson. Another good meeting is promised for to-morrow. Services to-morrow as follows: preaching 11 a. m.

Many Beaufortites Visit The City OVER HOME FOLKS ENJOY PLEASANT STAY Some of Beaufort's Leading Citizens, Including Tribune Representative, Among Excursionists—Enjoyed the Sights of the City. On the occasion of the annual fourth of July excursion to this city from Beaufort, many visitors were in the city Monday of this week. Because of the fourth coming on Saturday, the day was celebrated by the Overhomers on on Monday. The excursionists left Beaufort Sunday night at midnight and arrived in the city about six o'clock next morning. Evidence of the presence of strangers in the city could be seen on every side and the visitors seemed to have enjoyed the day immensely. Many of the younger members of the excursionists spent the day at the amusement parks and automobile rides on the beautiful roads of the county, others visited friends while most of the older women took their day out in shopping. The crowd included some of the leading Negro citizens of Beaufort, among them Mr. J. S. Blocker, The Tribune correspondent. Mr. Blocker reported that the Negroes are getting along nicely there and making much progress. Many new homes are being built by them and they are gradually opening up new business enterprises. As is usually the case, several of the excursionists who miscalculated upon the leaving time of the boat or were having such a grand time that they were not over anxious to return home, reached the docks just in time to see the Islander winding her way down the first turn of the river on her return trip. Several of the visitors, of course, paid their yearly visit to The Tribune office, among them being Messrs. Blocker, Sanders, Scott, Moody Zealy and Patterson. Oriole Glee. Club at Imperial Celebration The well known Oriole Glee Club of Charleston, S. C., will be present at the tenth anniversary of the Imperial Aid and Social Club which will be held on Wednesday evening July 29th. A special program is being arranged for the occasion, which will appear in The Tribune later. The Oriole Glee Club is one of the leading musical societies of the City by the Sea and their appearance here will be greeted no doubt by a large crowd. The Imperial Club is one of best known and strongest societies in the city, having elegant quarters in the double two-story house on the southeast corner of Oglethorpe avenue and East Boundary street.

FINE SUCCESS IS SCORED BY AMERICUS COLORED MAN From .Cotton .Maker To Bank President. Among the delegates attending the recent annual session of the Negro Masonic Grand Lodge in Americus, and one of its most important officers was Lucius E. Williams, formerly of Americus but now one of the wealthiest of Savannah's colored citizens. He is the son of Mary Williams, one of Americus' worthiest representatives of the ante-bellum race, and who lives on Hinkle street here, Lucius Williams began his career here as a cotton marker in Capt. C. W. Felder's warehouse at $2,00 per week. From this menial work he entered the railway mail service, where he remained several years and saved his money, which he invested in Savannah realty. In 1900 he established the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co., the success of which has been phenomenal. From a capital of $1,144 in 1902, the company now owns a handsome four-story banking building just completed, and its assets on June 5, this year amounted to $240,513. The capital stock paid in, is $41,353, reserve and undivided profits $28,800, and deposits of $137,870. The company has loans outstanding of nearly $180,000. All this, and more, was accomplished by an Americus Negro boy who, without education and few opportunities, has made a success that his friends here white and colored are proud of—Americus Times—Recorder. Savanniah Home Association Holds Enthusiastic Meeting Officers Elected The Savannah Home Association held an enthusiastic meeting on last Wednesday night at its rooms, 410 Taylor street west This being its annual meeting, quite a large number of its members were out. The annual report of the finance committee showed the association in a prosperous condition with a total value of $1352.37. They have paid within the last month death claims of A. N. Mordecai, James Anderson and William Murry of $50.00 each. This association was organized July 8, 1908 and is just entering upon its sixth year. The above showing of its value shows the rapid strides it has made during this time. They have contributed liberally to charitable purposes and is always willing to help a worthy cause. On Tuesday Aug. 11th, they will give a two-baot excursion to Dau fuskie and will be glad to have their many friends go. Election of officers was held and the installation will take place on Thursday night July 23. Following are the officers elected: Edward H. Burke, President J. F. Butler, Vice President Ed. R. Collins, Fin. Secretary H. E. Peyton, Rec. Secretary I. C. Butler, Treasurer W. H. Logan, Advocate P. B. Biggins, Keeper of Bank J. F. Woodson, Chaplain J. J. Brown, Chairman of House. Anniversary.

NUMBER 42 KNIGHTS MEET IN VALDOSTA TUESDAY ORDER IN VERY FLOURISHING CONDITION No Change Expected In Grand Lodge Officers—Parade of Uniform Rank Tuesday Afternoon. The State Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, will convene Tuesday, in the twenty-fourth annual session at Valdosta in what is expected to be one of the largest gatherings in the history of the body. So far as can be learned, few, if any, changes are looked for in the Grand Lodge officers. It has been rumored that Dr. G. P. Washington, of Waycross, is a candidate for the secretary-treasuryship of the endowment bureau now held by Col. F. M. Cohen of this city. The public session of the grand lodge will be held in the First African Baptist church and will be witnessed by large gatherings The annual parade of the uniform ranks will take place Tuesday afternoon and the prize drill Wednesday afternoon at the ball park. Feay Joshua and Royal companies of this city will take part in the drill contest and are expecting to make a good account of themselves. The Savannah delegation will leave the city Monday morning over the Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line. There will be about one hundred and fifty in the party, accompanied by the Ladies Drill corps. It is understood that there are several cities asking for the next meeting of the grand lodge, among them Savannah, Atlanta, Macon and Athens. New-Pythian Lodge Set Up. Deputy Grand Chancellor J. J. Bolen, assisted by several Savannah men among them Col. F. M. Cohen, secretary of the bureau of endowment, set up a new K of P lodge in Arcadia, Ga., on Wednesday night, the lodge taking the name Dorchester and having twenty-one members. St. Benedict's Church. At a congregational meeting held for last Sunday in the basement of the church the followings members have been selected to serve on the committees in charge of the picnic to Daufuskie Island: Mr. Nelson Cuyler was proposed and accepted as the chairman; he will be assisted by Messrs. Joseph King, Charles Siegling, James Wright, John Boifeuillet, Richard Mills, John Simmons, Robert Fontane, William Smith, John Sourdy and F. Gerald Philips. The chair lady of the table will be Mrs. Charles Ward. Her assistants are Mrs. Julia Clements, Louise Mack, Josephine Beasely, Cecile Ford and Mamie Lapham. The Pilot Boy will leave from Abercorn street July 14th at 9 a.m. and will probably make a second trip at 1 p.m. Admission 60 cents for adults and 25 cents for children under 12 years. Every member of St. Benedict's parish is most earnestly requested to lend a helping hand in making the necessary arrangements for the greatest success of this church event. Donations for the picnic are thankfully received at the rectory on Gordon street, east. The Catholic Mutual Aid Society held its regular monthly meeting on June 28th. Edward Wright of Dorchester, a member of the above mentioned society is critically ill at the Charity Hospital. Rev. Father Dahlent of Macon has sent word that he will be delighted to take part in our picnic to Daufuskie Island. We learn that the ground for the new school and rectory of Macon has been broken and the construction are making a speedy headway under the wise supervision of Very Reverend Ignatious Lissner, the provincial. Engagement Announced Dr. and Mrs. J-H. Bugg of Lynchburg, Va.; announce the engagement of their daughter, Jimmie Belle, to Dr. Charles Clayton Middleton of Savannah, Ga. Wedding to take place in early winter The other day the writer saw a couple of grown heng that evidently did not know what an angleworm was. They coiled their heads at it, but made no effort to devour it. It is clear that the early education of these Biddles was neglected. The advantage of cultivating soil as 'soon as it dries sufficiently following a rain is great. Not only does it prevent a baking of the soil when the sun comes out, but it serves to make a mellow soil mulch which is a great aid in the conservation of moisture. If growing corn is dragged in the afternoons of warm days, when the stalks are 'pillable, little damage will be done by breaking the plants down. Such dragging puts the soil in the best possible tilth and is a most effective wholesale method of destroying weeds. A housewife who has tried it reports that if cloves are put in the cupboards and on the shelves they will keep the ants away. She discovered this fact by accident as a result of spilling some whole cloves, but now uses ground cloves for the same purpose. Banana culture, while developed a great deal in recent years, traces back to very ancient times. Southern Asia is claimed by some as the first home of the banana, but others claim that it was grown by the Incas of Peru a long time before the conquest by the Spaniards. The South Dakota experiment station has developed a sugar beet which it is claimed contains 25 per cent by weight of sugar. What this means will be understood when it is remembered that the average sugar content of commercial beets is usually less than 16 per cent. --- A sulphate of iron solution is effective in killing dandelions. This is made by dissolving a pound and a half of sulphate of iron in a gallon of water and applying to the dandelions in the form of a spray. A sprinkler may be used, but this takes more liquid than is necessary. There are a good many old tabby cats whose work along the line of extirminating rats, mice and field rodents does not anywhere near offset their destruction of valuable bird life. Where such is observed to be the case it is better to rely on traps and poison for the rats and do away with the cats. Some experiments conducted by the dairy division of the federal department of agriculture along the line of pasteurizing milk and cream show that the average cost of pasteurizing a gallon of milk under favorable conditions is three-tenths of a cent and a gallon of cream a little less than two-thirds of a cent. The desire of children for some animal to care for and drive cannot always be satisfied with a pony. One mother the writer knows of solved this problem by getting her two small boys a pair of goats, which furnished them all kinds of amusement and took up a good deal of spare time that might not otherwise have been so wholesomely spent. An Arkansas woman, Mrs. E. F. Stoughton, writing to the Kansas City Star, recommends using lye water made by dissolving a level tablespoonful of lye in two gallons of water as an effective method of getting rid of cabbage worms. She says this dope sprinkled or sprayed on the cabbages knocks the worms, but does not injure the vegetables. If hems are allowed to run in the plum orchard and the trees are given a sharp jarring several mornings in succession when the fruit is about the size of a green pea a good many of the curvilines will be destroyed. the hens devouring them as they fall to the ground. This plan works most effectively on cold mornings when the insects are still and sluggish. When the soil is mellow and the weeds are just coming through the ground more execution can be done with a garden rake and a rake attached to a garden cultivator than with most any tool we know of. The advantage of the rake is that its teeth will work among the stems of small plants without injuring them, yet will expose to the sun's rays weeds that are just showing. The city authorities of Jamestown, N. Y. have decided to install and operate a municipal milk plant. Bonds to the amount of $25,000 are to be issued to cover the cost of the new plant. Those backing the scheme count on buying milk at 4 cents a quart and selling it at 6 cents and figure that the profits of the business will amount to some $50,000 annually. The city consumes 17,000 quarts of milk daily. The experiment will be watched by the residents of other cities with a good deal of interest. The wolf bounty paid in a good many states is a good deal of a farce when viewed from the standpoint of the way it works out. The upshot of the bounty plan is that a good many farmers, for whose protection the bounty is offered, deliberately let the old wolves alone so that they can get the bounty on the pelts of their young, which they dig out when the cubs are a few weeks old. If no bounty were offered at all there is reason to believe that the farmer would kill wolves, whether young or old, whenever occasion offered. INSURANCEGEOGRAPHY When is a man mos confused?

Most people are aware of the power of eggshells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit it the results of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses applied internally to twelve eggs these gave way at pressures varying between 32 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the egg varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thickness of the shells was 13-1000 inch.—London Globe. His Brand of English At the Union ironworks, San Francisco, a steamer was undergoing repairs. The chief engineer—n Scot, of course—requiring a hammer in a hurried moment, turned to a German mechanic and in his momentary excitement, lapsing into his native speech, said, "Gie us yer pelty, mon." "Vat?" asked the Teufon in surprise. "Yer pelty—pelty?" "It's yer hammer bo wants," interrupted another Scot, who was also working on the job. "Thank the Lord there's one mon among ye who understands the king's English!" growled the chief engineer as he took the "pelty." -Argonaut. Nothing Unusual. Several years ago a tourist fell over a rock from a height of about 300 feet, near Europa Point, Gibraltar. He was killed, of course. The lieutenant in charge of the guardroom, however, inserted in his guard report for the day that "nothing unusual had occurred." For this he was "carpeted" before the town mayor, who asked for an explanation. "Well, sir," replied the young officer, a Scotsman, "if the ploum manle had na' been kilt it would have been a very extraordinary fact, but as the ploum body was kilt-why, sir, I thought it was na' extraordinary or unusual." The plies were accented. Small patches of quack grass may be pretty effectually exterminated by spading them up to the depth of eight or nine inches and carefully shaking the roots free from dirt and hanging them on the fence. When dry they should be burned. The cranberry marshes in the state of Wisconsin are said to produce as high as $1,400 worth of fruit per acre in a single season. Under clean cultural methods the yield of the berries has been increased in a good many cases nearly 100 per cent. Heating stoves may be kept from rusting during their periods of nonuse by coating them inside and out with any good graphite store blacking, which should not be polished. The nickel plated portions should be polished and coated with vaseline. One of New York city's largest milk retailing firms has 8,000,000 bottles in service, and of this number about 6,000,000 are lost or broken annually. It would seem as if there were a lot of folks whose milk bill might be cut down materially if they would take better care of their bottles. There are said to be nearly half as many dogs in the United States as there are inhabitants. This seems to be a pretty strong statement, judging from the number of dogs in the localities in which most of us live. However, if there are 20,000,000 dogs in the country there are about 19,000,000 too many. There are at the present time about 2,000 consolidated rural schools in the United States, Ohio, Indiana and Massachusetts having made the greatest progress in this much needed reform. A fact of interest that has been noted in this connection is that about one-third of the roads in these states have been improved. There may be some retailers of milk who do not realize that there is a federal law against putting any chemical into milk to keep it sweet, and as many more in a good many states do not seem to appreciate the fact that most state laws require that milk sold at retail shall contain not less than 3 per cent of butter fat. The director of the Colorado experiment station is authority for the statement that if cut while young Canada thistles may be used quite successfully for silage. This observation should not be construed by the unwary as justification for letting these pests get a foothold on the farm in order to have stuff with which to fill the silo. There is no need of any farmer burying commercial fertilizer if the soil and climatic conditions make possible the growing of alfalfa, red or sweet clover. The statement made does not hold in case land has been robbed for generations, for in such cases the application of commercial fertilizers with manures and the growing of legumes are necessary. While but 1 per cent of the American people are said to be college or university bred, it is interesting to note the figures prepared by one college investigator, which show that twenty-nine of the fifty-one governors of states and territories have come from this 1 per cent; also sixty-one of ninety-three United States senators, 272 out of 305 congressmen and nine of the nine justices of the supreme court. Dr. Crumbline, secretary of the Kansas board of health, gives the following recipe for a homemade fly poison that will not be injurious to children in the home if they should get hold of it: Beat together the yolk of one egg, one-third cupful of sweet milk, one level teaspoonful of sugar and a level teaspoonful of black pepper. Put mixture on a plate and place where flies abound. According to the opinion of a good many, the laying out of the front yard does not as often as it should give proper recognition of the value from the artistic point of view.of a stretch of unbroken blue grass. It is better to reduce the beds in the lawn space to a minimum, arranging them for the most part as border features. This is just as well for the flowers, simplifies the care of the lawn and sets off the beauty of the carpet of grass in a becoming manner. The German plan of setting out fruit trees along the highways is to be tried in Missouri. What is known as the Blue Book route, extending from the Missouri river at Kansas City to the Mississippi river at Louisiana, Mo., is to be planted to peach trees and will be hereafter known as the Elberta route, as it is to be lined with trees of that variety. A law is to be passed which will insure the protection of the trees, while the fruit produced by them will become a part of the road fund for the upkeep of the highway. A reader of this department living in Washington writes for the government bulletin giving in detail the experiments which have been conducted in the line of raising beans in semiarid sections instead of allowing the soil to lie idle under summer fallow. The bulletin in question is Farmers' Bulletin No. 561 and may be had by directing a request to the department of agriculture. Washington. The fact that our correspondent has written as he has for this bulletin seems to justify the statement that any bulletin or bulletins on a given subject may be had without expense by sending a request for them to the department at Washington, as stated. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted with- out special permission.] If the work horses have a scant ration of hay morning and noon and a generous grain ration they will give the better service. Codling moths, which are the parents of the apple worms, are responsible for a damage to fruit growing interests annually that is placed at $3,000,000. A patch of rape a few yards square. if it gets a good start before the heens are turned on to it, will furnish them a fine supply of green food all through the summer and fall. A Nebraska farmer who has observed the habits of meadow larks suggests that floats should be put in the farm water tanks to keep these and other birds from drowning when they come to drink. A writer in the Prairie Farmer reports catching thirty-six rats in four days in a compartment trap baited with canned salmon. He uses a small quantity at the entrance of the trap and two or three times as much in the dining room. After being caught the rats are drowned in a tub of water. A can four or five inches in diameter makes a convenient nesting place for the wrens. The opening should be about the size of half a dollar, just large enough to admit the wrens, but small enough to keep out the sparrows. Wrens, though small, are very active and among the most valuable of our insect destroyers. The lice that attack different kinds of vegetables and fruit trees can be effectively kept in cheek by occasional spraying with a solution of tobacco extract. This may be given alone or with other sprays applied for other purposes. The sooner it is applied after the lice make their appearance the more effective will the results be. --- Probably the best record that was ever made by a grade cow was that of a Holstein grade belonging to a Danish farmer living near Cedar Falls, In. During the month of April this cow gave 2.274 pounds of milk, from which were made 1.223 pounds of butter. If a better month's record than this has ever been made the writer does not know of it. One farmer's wife has found a way of simplifying her work by raising chickens every other year and putting up fruit and other stuff the alternate seasons when she does not raise chickens. This arrangement gives her more time to attend to both, and she contends that the returns from her flock of hens are more than if she raised half as many chickens yearly. Gophers are not only a nuisance because they pile up mounds of earth to vex the hired man at haying time, but also because in their underground tunneling they cut off and devour the roots of alfalfa and other plants. The pests may be trapped, but the most effective method is putting grain that has been soaked in a sweetened solution of strychnia sulphate in their runways. One taste of this doped corn does the business. The state veterinary department of Iowa is seeking to secure the co-operation of the federal authorities and the railroads in a campaign which will bring about the general cleaning and disinfecting of the stock cars in which hogs are shipped to market. There would seem to be little question, as investigators contend, that the litter from germ laden cars scattered along the railroad right of way is a frequent cause of a spread of the disease. The Florists' Exchange is authority for the statement that a group of women who live in Central City, Ky., are this year conducting a plant exchange for amateur gardeners. All varieties of pot plants are exchanged, also shrubs, seeds, slips and bulbs. Any one having more plants, etc., of a kind than he wishes is invited to bring them to the exchange and secure something that he does not have. A committee of ladies puts a value on the stuff brought in and that which is taken in exchange. That small children would do well to give geese a wide berth is plainly shown in the tragic fate that befall Frank Cloumleck, a ten-year-old lad. the son of a goose farmer, who lives at Wind Point, a short distance north of Racine, Wis. In driving the fowls from the lake shore just before feeding time he struck the boss gander with a stick, with the result that the bird, with his mates, turned upon the boy. Five minutes after the boy was rescued by his father he died, both of his eyes having been pecked out. BUTTERMAKING SUGGESTIONS. The Washington experiment station has lately published some condensed hints on farm buttermaking which are good for farmers everywhere. If followed there would be great improvement in the quality of American dairy butter. The suggestions as given below should be used for reference: Cool the cream from the separator as soon as possible to 55 degrees F. or lower. Never mix warm cream with cool cream. Mix all the cream to be churned in one vat or can at least eighteen hours before churning. Ripen at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees F. for from six to eight hours, stirring frequently during this period. Cool cream to churning temperature as soon, as ripe. Let the cream stand eight hours or more (overnight) at the churning temperature. The temperature of churning ought to be such as to make the butter come in from thirty-five to forty minutes, usually 55 to 60 degrees F. If it is desired to use artificial coloring it should be added to the cream just before churning. Stop churning when the granules are about the size of peas, varying to the size of wheat, and draw off the buttermilk. Wash the butter once with pure water at the churning temperature, agitating three or four times, and then drain. Wash a second time with water about 4 degrees above churning temperature, agitating seven or eight times and drain. Add the salt wet while the butter is in granular form, using about one to one and one-half ounces for each pound of butter, according to the demands of the market. Work the butter just enough to distribute the salt evenly. If the butter is to go on the market it should be put up in neat, attractive packages. A SHEEP AND WOOL CONFERENCE. On June 2, 3 and 4 there was held in Washington a conference of those interested in the sheep and wool industry. Among many important topics discussed were the manufacturing value of American wools, the improvement of farm and ranch methods of handling wool, the possible adaptation of foreign methods to American conditions, the standardization of the wool clip and the prevention of losses by dogs and other predatory animals. As a rule, American wools are of high quality, but the indiscriminate sacking 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. RABBITS DESTRUCTIVE. From the standpoint of the writer it seems like a good deal of a fiasco for rabbits to be protected by law, as they are in a number of central and eastern states, when they do a very large amount of damage to farmers and gardeners. Even though they may pull up some corn and eat some newly planted seed, there is ground for protecting pheasants and quail, for they more than pay for their cost of keep in the service they render. The rabbit, however, performs no such service, and the only excuse for encouraging their propagation is that men and boys may have something to shoot at. However, this ought not to weigh against the financial welfare of the farmer and gardener. SULPHURET OF LIME. The following is an English recipe for making sulphuret of lime, which is recommended as a remedy for curing poultry of the feather eating habit. Put three or four lumps of freshly burned lime the size of an egg into an iron pot and, slake with boiling water, then stir in about six ounces of flowers of sulphur and add gradually two quarts of boiling water, stirring the while. Boil for an hour or so, then pour on 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 is 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 trimming of trees for the first time it is a suggestion worth remembering to say from beneath close to the tree on limbs of considerable size. After making a cut of fair depth the sawing may be done from the top side. This precaution prevents the splitting down of the limb and the marring of the trunk just beneath. A further safeguard in the cutting off of large limbs is to take them off a foot or more from the trunk, later taking off the stub. All limbs should be removed in such a way that the cut will be as close to the trunk as possible and on a line with the one of the trunk. : TOMATO BYPRODUCTS. In Italy there are several manufacturing concerns that are now utilizing tomato waste in the making of valuable byproducts. From 1,500 tons of dried residue 150 tons of tomato seed oil have been secured and 800 tons of oil cake. The oil byproduct has been found a valuable element in the manufacture of soap.

How well he performed his duties and treated his force were demonstrated by expressions made and the presenting of a silver service. Up to this date President Wilson has failed to name his successor. His action in demanding the resignation of Mr. Johnson before appointing his successor can not be approved by those conversant with the political game. The plan is to later appoint a colored man who the senate will hold up, in the meantime the office will be administered by a white man, thus carrying out the Hoke Smith-Vardaman idea. The recently inaugurated campaign against street and corner loafing by the police department of our city, can but meet, the approval of all citizens who have the welfare of the city at heart. For some time, we have noticed the apparently increasing number of men and boys who infest certain of our streets and corners, and who seemingly have not the slightest desire to engage themselves in any sort of occupation that smacks of work. On some of our most prominent streets and corners, these sons of rest occupy so much space that it is sometimes with difficulty that one is able to go about his way with out brushing into some of them. Embarrassing as this is to male pedestrians, who must feel their way, as it were through this mass of idle humanity, unusually so it to females who must encounter not only the stare, but at times the jibes that naturally come from these human rodents. According to the police, the time has come when street loafing must be stopped. So far as the street loafer is concerned, regardless to what his color may be, and there are many of both races, other climes must be sought by him. This is the recent decree of the police department. And it is on the right line in so decreeing. It is a conservative estimate to state that ninety percent of the criminality from which a community suffers, is born in the minds of the denizens who block our streets and corners and infest the dives and dens while they are so engaged. The street loafer is a dangerous individual. The criminal tendency finds easy and fertile soil within him. He should not be allowed to go about his way with impunity or run amuck among us. Let come what it may, be he white or black, the loafer should be corralled. The Tribune welcomes most heartily this present campaign against the street loafers. It sincerely wishes that before the campaign ends, loafers, both white and black, will be made either to seek and secure work, or to enter the services of city and county without pay. If there be any one effort put forth by the members of the Urban League which justified the existence of their organization, it is the one put forth on last week by the Committee on Women's Club, which resulted in an outing given for some fifty or sixty of our oldest and most helpless inhabitants. To have witnessed the joy and happiness evinced by the old folks as they were helped in the tally ho and started on their trip to Cattle Park, would have caused the most selfish or least inclined towards charitable endeavor among us to smile at least approbation on this effort of the consecrated men and women who planned the outing for the old people and made it such an unusual pleasure for them. Such efforts on the part of the members of the Urban League are in keeping with the purpose and spirit of their organization. Begun only a few months ago and organized on a missionary basis, the League has on more than one occasion brought sunshine and happiness in places where there was a dearth of them. The poor and unfortunate of the city have in the Urban League a staunch and helpful friend. Its members void of all desire of ostentation or commendation are going about their work in a quiet but effective way. Judging by the work already done by the League and the continued manifestation of interest shown by its members, the Urban League seems to have outlived the experimental stage and is now a fixity among us. The Tribune feels that there is no more worthy or deserving agency of charity now at work among our people than the Urban League. The Tribune hopes to see the day when the League shall have so broadened itself until every phase of Negro life in the community will feel the influence of its touch. May this day be not far distant. In Memory of the Late Dr. I. E. Nash. When the news of the departure of Dr. I. E. Nash reached the anxious ears of the people of Baunswick we stood bewildered and awe-struck. For a moment we were sorely troubled; but when we remember that the mighty Ruler of earth and heaven does all things for the best, we know that it was for no evil purpose whatever that he was snatched srom us, but that it was for the relief of his suffering that his good work was postponed and God in His wise judgment saw fit to have him make a change for the better. As a physician he was a mighty bulwark in his profession; as a gentleman he was honest and honorable, polite and obliging to all classes; as a christian his life was clean and spotless and his daily walk in the community stands for itself, it was above reproach and therefore worthy of emulation. His short illness and sudden death was like the approach of a terrible storm whose thunders had long muttering in the distance. At last it bursted in fury carrying death and desolation in its path. But now the worst has past, and the beautiful sun is again casting her benignant rays over her mourners, thus we who were so sogely vexed and troubled have soothed our murmering spirits with a few lines of Bryant's Thanatopsis which reads: Yet not to that eternal resting place did he retire alone, nor couldst thou wish for him a couch more magnificent. He is resting with patriarchs of the infant world—with kings, the powerful of the earth—the wise, the good, fair fortune and hoary seer of ages host all in one mighty sepulchre. The hills rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun—the vales stretching in intensive quietness between; the venerable woods—rivers move in majesty and the complaining brooks that make the meadows green; and poured around all Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waist are but the solemn decoratoris all of the great tomb of man. The golden sun, the planets, all the infinite hosts of heaven are shining on the sad abode of death through the still lapse of ages. All that tread the globe are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom. Take the wings of the morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness or lose thyself in the continuous woods where rolls the Oregon and here no sound save his own dashings—yet the dead are there. * * * * All that breathe will share his destiny. * * * * As the long train of ages glides away the sons of men, the youth in life's fresh spring, and he who goes in the full strength of years, matron and maid, the speechless babe, and the gray headed man—shall one by one be gathered to thy end. Then let us so live that when thy summons come to join the innumerable caravan; which moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry-slave at niget, scurged to his dungeon, but sustained and coothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." A friend, July 7, 1914. S. W. M. Among the Masons. Every representative to the Grand Lodge is giving glowing repts to their respective lodges of the notable meeting of the Grand lodge. St. John's Day was more generally observed than ever. The Masons of Savannah had a fairly attended gathering when the program as published was carried out. The committee had it well arranged and desire to thank The members of Morgan Lodge No. 359, Morgan, Ga., met at the lodge room and proceeded to the church where the celebration was held. The sermon was preached by Rev. S. S. Griffin. The program was well carried out. The principles of Masonry cannot fail to make our lives purer and better if we but live up to them. There is a wonderful attractiveness about Masonry. Its ceremonies are beautiful and inspiring and its teachings are founded upon the Holy Bible. We are not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread and that is to be done strenuously; other work to do for our delight, and this is to be done heartily; neither is it to be done by halves or shifts, but with a will; and what is not worth this effort is not to be done at all.—John Ruskin. Please allow space in your valuable paper to say a few words about the Master Masons who celebrated St. John's Day here Sunday, June 29th at Brown's chapel A. M. E. Church. The Masons here are a band of loyal men and true to their order. An excellent program was rendered to the delight of many. The sermon was delivered by Rev. A. A. Duncan of Blakely, Ga., and it is needless to say that he proved himself equal to the occasion and his deep and well arranged sermon which was enjoyed will always be remembered as a beneficial one to the Masons.—Fort Gains, Ga. Atlanta, Ga., July 1914. More than 800 Masons assembled at the Odd Fellows Auditorium on Auburn avenue Sunday afternoon June 28 and celebrated St. John's day in great style. The sermon by Dr. C. M. Manning was received with great spiritual reverence by all present. The brothers were greatly inspired at the report of the condition of the Grand Jurisdiction as outlined during the sermon. Grand Master H. R. Butler presided and was assisted by Brothers W. Ed. Griffin and Grand Senior Warden J. W. Dobbs. The brothers have decided to make this year a record breaking year for the ancient fraternity as far as they are able and have also resolved to aid the Grand Master to hold Georgia to the front and in the lead of all other jurisdictions. Deputy Grand Master J. H. Walker of Macon was in the city Monday night; with the assistance of Illustrious H. H. Butler 33rd, C. A. Faison 32nd and a host of other 32nd degree Masons, conducted a large and interesting class across the hot sands of desert to the oasis where each son was taught fruitful lessons. Camel's milk was plentiful. Rev. C. M. Manning, Illustrious High Priest was in evidence and performed his duties well. Illustrious R. Nelson of Acworth was present and enjoyed the journey through the desert. There is quite a deal of sickness among the Craft in our city. We are sorry to hear of the death of Bro. Andrew Pope who departed this life Saturday morning 3 a. m. and was buried Tuesday 3 p. m. He was a member of Crystal Lodge No. 112 this city. The Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star will meet in Americus Tuesday August 4th at 9 a. m. The opening exercise will be held the Monday night the 3rd at Masonic auditorium.

NEGRO GRADUATES NORTHERN COLLEGES Georgia Boy Among the Number The Harvard class day, when the guaiety of commencement week reaches its height, started with lowering skies and a smart shower in the early forenoon, but with a promise of fair, cool weather for the most important events of the day. At 11 the procession was formed again in the yard, this time with fuller ranks, for practically the whole class was in line, with nearly 400 men. The ceremonies in Sanders consisted of the delivery of the class oration by Alexander Louis Jackson of Englewood, N. J., the colored boy who is known in college for his hurdling on the track team and for his public speaking. The poem was read by its author, Charles P. Curtis, Jr., of Boston. At the conclusion of these two parts the class ode, in twostanzas, written by Pitman B. Potter, was sung to the tune of "Fair Harvard," the singing being led by chorister A. F. Pickernell. "Success As an End in Life" was the subject of the oration delivered by A. L. Jackson. It was well arranged and the thoughts were clear and logical. Mr. Jackson showed that he is keeping abreast of the times, and he urges his classmates to avoid the assumption that money is everything in the world, and that it will purchase anything. Nine hundred and sixty-nine men were given degrees in Sanders Theater Thursday by President Lowell in addition to the honorary degree awards. The regular degrees considerably exceeded those of a year ago. The men receiving the degree of bachelor of arts—455—were, as usual more numerous than the other recipients. In the list, however, were 172 taking the degree of bachelor of laws, sixty-three the degree of doctor of medicine, sixty the degree of doctor of philosophy and 229 miscellaneous. HARVARD GRADUATES OF COLOR The colored students graduating were Alexander L. Jackson, bachelor of arts; Lucious L. Jordan, bachelor of arts with degree Cum Laude in special subject of economics; James A. Wright, bachelor of sacred theology PHI BETA KAPPA The Phi Beta Kappa Society of high scholarship, had its meetings on Monday. Ex.President Taft was the orator and Bliss Carman the poet. The only colored member of present was Editor W. Monroe Trotter, the first colored, member of the Harvard chapter of the class of 1865. DRUE KING GRADUATES FROM TUFTS MEDICAL. There was one colored graduate from Tufts College, Medford, Mass.—Drue King from the medical school. His career is given below. GRADUATE OF SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL. There was one colored girl in the graduating class of the Massachusetts state normal school at Salem, Mass.—Miss Helen Henderson of 52 Windsor street, Boston. Rev. James A. Wright, vice president of the Harvard-Andover Divinity Club, graduated from the divinity school. On Monday, June 15, he received the degree of bachelor of sacred theology from Andover Theological Seminary, the first colored man to receive this degree since 1907, and the fifth to receive the degree in the 106 years of the institution. On Thursday he received the degree of bachelor of sacred theology from Harvard University. Rev. Wright is an A. B. of Howard University, 1911, and has been the successful pastor of the Congregational Church at Haverhill, Mass., for a year or two. L. L. Jordan was born March 4, 1887, at Montgomery, Ala. He graduated from the Columbus public school June, 1905; entered the second year class of the preparatory school at Atlanta University 1905, from which he entered the freshman class of the said University 1907. He received his A.B. with high honor at Atlanta University in June 1911, and taught Latin and Greek at Miles Memorial College in 1911-12. He entered the junior class at Harvard in September, 1912, and was graduated from Harvard on Thursday with the degree A. B. and Cum Laude in economics. As to his future plans, he expects to teach in the South. The position has not been decided upon. Drue King was born in Augusta, Ga., March 16, 1888, of one of the oldest and most prominent families, son of Albert King, well known and successful hotel drummer of Augusta. He attended Mauge Street grammar school, was graduated in 1903, came north, attended Boston English high school and graduated in 1907 with honors. Took post graduate course in 1907-08; then entered Tufts College, taking one-year pre-medical course as preliminary to beginning medical work; then began regular work. He was well liked at Tufts and made many friends. He graduated Jure 17th, 1914 and has had the following hospital experience: Boston City Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear infirmary, Carney Hospital, Boston dispensary, the home for Consumptives. As to future work he will take the Maine and Massachusetts boards next month; then go home for the summer and begin active work in the fall. He will devote special attention to the eye, ear, nose and confine his work wholly to those organs. He is undecided as to just where he will locate. He is a firm believer in equal rights, and has always tried to live up to it at Tufts and whenever a banquet, dance or lecture was given by the school he never failed to attend. There are sixty-two graduates in his class, he being the only, colored.—Boston Globe. Seaboard Air Line Railway Seaboard Air Line Railway Rate $4,95 round trip.

Casualties Expected. During one of Cannon's bitter political fights in his district in Illinois the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from positions they held in the public service. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly: "Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost their positions in the postoffice. What are we going to do about it?" Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a benevolent smile: "Nothing. If you go into battle, you have got to expect to have some dead and wounded." Barometers Indicate Stats of Mind. If you're a business man—watch the barometer. If you want to sell a big bill of goods—watch the barometer. Such is the advice of Dr. Colin A Scott, professor of psychology in the Boston normal school. The barometer, he says, is as sure an indicator of persons' minds as it is of the weather. You'll find them active and up and doing with the barometer high; gloomy and irritable with the barometer low.-Boston Post. Dear, Innocent Thing!

Our Insignificant Earth If the earth should be annihilated the planets Venus and Mercury would fall a little nearer the sun and move around it a trifle faster, while all of the outside planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, would move away from the sun, slightly and traverse larger orbits, moying a little slower thereon. The earth is so small, however, that only professional astronomers, armed with very accurate clocks and telemicrometers, could hope to measure the minute disturbances. New York American. Virtue of Self Expression. If children are allowed to give vent to all that is joyous and happy and spontaneous in their natures they will be infinitely more likely to blossom out into helpful men and women, instead of sedate, suppressed, sad faced individuals. Children who are encouraged in self expression through their play instinct will not only make much more normal human beings, but will make better business men, better professional men, better citizens, better men and women generally. They will succeed better and have a nobler influence in the world. Joy and fun are great developers, calling out our richest resources, educating our fuller powers.—Nautilus. England's Colonies. In Australia only about 117 persons in 10,000 are other than white in color. Canada is nearly as white, but in New Zealand the number of Maoris and halfbreeds reduces the proportions of whites to below 94 per cent. In South Africa the 1,250,000 Africanders and Europeans live side by side with 75 per cent of colored races, while in India the European element, including the army, officials, merchants, women and children, amounts to only six persons in each 10,000. 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?" A tiny hand went up, and a tiny voice replied, "Please, sir, Solomon was wise!"—London M. A. P. Shakespeare and Burns In a lecture before the Royal institute in London Professor Arthur Keith, in an anthropological study, gave it as his opinion that Shakespeare was a descendant of the bronze age invaders, the true or round head people. This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short headed stock, spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appeared to be closely set to the neck. It represented an ancient type Most Wonderful Clock The most wonderful clock in the world is in St. Petersburg. It has ninety-five faces.

Popular This Summer For Semi-dress Costumes. Very wide girdles of materials matching the gown are seen on some imported models. Illustrated here is a gown of figured crape in sweet pea shades of pink and lavender. The wide girdle is edged with a ruching of pink taffeta 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. 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 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 wooleen outing stockings to ungern 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. 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. 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. ```markdown ``` CRAPE AFTERNOON GOWN. CAMPING OUTFITS. The Vogue of Braid. Coloring Matting. It Doesn't.

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.

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.

Cutting the finger nails appears to have been the most indispensable service the ancient Roman barber rendered to his patrons. Martial, chaffing a fop 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.

The richer could show up at the opera on Monday evening.—London Chronicle. Those Chilly Boston Girls. The beautiful Boston girl was killing, and a physician had been summoned.

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.

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 scraper 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 quaint 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 far, as follows: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The fair's begun, the glove is np. 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 Coveted Hand. The young man had gone to the heiress' 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.

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 Make Shaving Easier.

Negro Business League's Weekly Letter-by J. C. Lindsay In our letter of last week, we promised to tell you of some things for which the Negro Business League stands. We may find it necessary just here, to tell you first about some of the things for which it does not stand. It does not stand for the self appointed leadership of that would-be Negro leader, who, in order, as he proposes, to keep into the good graces of the other fellow, will walk or send his children two blocks out of the way to buy a pound of bacon or a bar of soap from the Greek on the corner, when there is a struggling Negro shop-keeper much nearer and who will sell him these small items just as cheap and who in the meantime will be assisting in the good work of keeping open the doors of a small struggling Negro business venture. In a way we have hinted at the kind of things, and the hook-worm methods of killing Negro business by that element of would-be self-appointed Negro leaders, who, while on dress parade with mouth wide open and with clinched-list and with great and deep emphasis say: "Let us stand together and build our business up." We will not pass judgment upon their sincerity, we leave that to you. The thoughtful element of our people in Savannah, are proud of the business ventures of our men. Here in this city, we have two splendid hospitals, well equipped, owned, operated and controlled entirely by our own men. We refer to Charity hospital at the corner of 36th and Florence streets. The moving spirit and dean of this splendid institution which is doing so much toward the alleviation of the pains and sufferings of our needy people, is that modest and una-suming practitioner, Dr. W. C. Blackman. The other, The East Side Sanitium, is located on East Gwinnett street, just east of the subway: this is entirely a new venture, which is modern in every respect, and is the result, pure and simple, of the brain and money of Dr. G. W. Smith and associates. A splendid woman came into the office of a Negro business man a few days ago, (who furnishes profitable employment to twenty-one members of the race,) seeking employment for her excellent daughter who graduated from the normal department of a certain school a few weeks since. The gentleman was very anxious to give this accomplished young woman some thing to do, but was filled out for the time, but on speaking to the lady about giving to the business represented by himself some of her patronage, she frankly told him that she did not care to bother with Negro things as they could not stand. Without further comment I drop the subject here. An eminent jurist, who, by the way, is an officer of one of the largest and most influential banks in this city, or in the South as to that matter, in addressing a refined cultured audience of our people under the auspices of the Negro Business League said: "I have taken the time and pains to investigate today, the financial standing of your people in one bank alone, and found that twenty-two hundred of your people were depositors in the savings department in sums ranging from small amounts each to amounts up into the thousands." Again, I am forced to ask you, can you not see the solution of our problem? The people must be brought together through the medium of our business league, where confidence will be inspired, and where the masses of our people will be taught by the promoters of Negro businesses, that we are not trying to fleece them, but trying to put our mites together in a cooperative way, and thereby make places for our boys and girls who are coming from the various schools year after year. I was very much amused some days ago, when I approached a cert in-business (?) man upon the subject of taking part and assisting in the work of the Negro Business League, when he asked me how much benefits did it pay a week. I assured him that there were no benefits connected with it, but that it was for the Negro just what the Chamber of Commerce of the Board of Trade is to the whits. It meant the creating of more businesses and the taking of better care of those that we have and the co-operation of every one in advertising and boosting every thing which the Negro had for the benefit of the race. Said he: "I) care to 'jine' today." e one asked me some days no is a busine n and and Steamers Pilot Boy and Clivedon has been chartered for the occasion. Come Early and Avoid the Rush. while I was thinking for a moment for an answer, a good friend of mine happened to be standing near by, who came to my rescue with this answer: "The man," said he, "who can keep his grocery bill paid up now as high as the cost of living is, put him down as a good business man." Therefore, all well wishers of the race, who are promoters, or even engaged in some honest, legitimate business, are eligible to membership; $1.00 joining fee, 25 cents per month. GOLDEN CIRCLE NEWS.

The text was from Matt. 25: 13, subject, "Let us go out to meet him." It was a brilliant sermon, describing very carefully the parable of the "Ten Virgins." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight." Quite a number bowed for prayey which was offered. The Sunday school is apparently getting on new life; the B. Y. P. U. is also steadily growing numerically and in interest to all.
