The From F. A. B. Church Many Telegrams of Condolence Read at Services—Was One of First to Secure a School for Colored Children—Fraternal Bodies Honor the Deceased. Beaufort, S. C.—The funeral of Gen. Robt. Smalls, who died at his home on Prince street Tuesday, Feb. 23rd at 1:30 a. m., was held Friday, Feb. 26th, at the F. A. B. Church. Rev. Waller, pastor of the church, officiated. He spoke of Gen. Smalls as a christian and a leader and his words brought forth tears from the vast crowd that filled the auditorium. Gen. Smalls was a member of the F. A. B. Church for more than ten years and during his connection there was one of the foremost and most helpful member. Dr. Bythewood, another of Beaufort's leading ministers, spoke most feelingly of him as a citizen. Gen. Smalls was one of the first colored citizens of Beaufort to secure a school for Negro youths of that city, this building being erected on the spot now occupied by the Beaufort High school, which, because it is still in the possession of Gen. Smalls and other colored citizens, the county refuses to renovate. Gen. Smalls was foremost in all matters which concerned the Negro, and his careful scrutinization of all legislative acts which related to the Negro will ever endear him in the memory of the citizens of his city and state. He was for a number of years a leader for his race in the city council of Beaufort and was highly esteemed by his fellow city-fathers. Rev. P. P. Watson, formerly of the F. A. B. church, spoke of the deceased as one of the greatest Negroes the country has produced. He told effectively of the many triumphant deeds, political and otherwise, which the life of the General left to posterity, and his words with a peculiar sympathetic tenderness sank deep into the hearts of the hosts gathered to bid a last farewell to one of the most notable characters the Negro race has ever produced. Dr. Coit, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church for the Beaufort district, spoke of the General as a statesman. He told of the many beneficial legislative enactments attributed to the fertile brain of the general and especially of those which had direct bearing upon the welfare of the Negroes of his state, among them the establishment of the state normal school for Negroes at Orangeburg, S. C. He also touched upon the constitutional convention of 1878 in which Gen. Smalls and several colleagues framed many of the laws which to-day stand foremost among the enactments of the State of South Carolina. Dr. Washington, of St. Helena Island, read several telegrams of condolence from many leading citizens in various parts of the country. While the choir sang "Shall we meet beyond the river," the body was viewed by the large gathering. As the body was being viewed for the last time, not a dry eye of the vast crowd that passed it was seen and the scene was indeed very pathetic and told in a very emphatic way of the great esteem in which the deceased was held. After the last person had passed the body is was carried out of the church by the Masonic Lodge, Sons of Beaufort, No.36, between two rows of Odd Fellows, Lodge No. 2211, of which the deceased was a member. The cortege, headed by Allen's Brass Band, then wended its way to the cemetery, moving up King street to Craven and then to the Tabermony, conducted by Grand a most impressive Masonic ceremony, conducted by Grand Master C. C. Johnson, of Aiken, a life long friend of the General, the body was laid to rest. The funeral was the largest VOLUME XXX PAID GENERAL SMALLS PROGRAM FOR HEALTH WEEK. 1.

Brush down the walls and ceilings of all rooms; scrub and clean thoroughly all the floors and wood-work of the house. In scrubbing the floors, use strong lye and hot water; in cleaning furniture and painted woodwork, use warm water and good soar Do not use lye on anything that is painted. 3. Paint or whitewash the walls, ceiling and woodwork. Then thoroughly dry, air and sun every room, especially the bedrooms. 4.

Morehouse College to Raise Funds for New Domitory. Atlanta, Ga.—Each year brings forth its additional indications of progress throughout the colleges of this country. For the last few years Morehouse has grown steadily. In 1910 this school became overcrowded and the authorities had to ask for a building. It was through the efforts of Dr. Sales and President Hope that Sale Hall was erected at a cost of $40,000. The colored people of the state were asked to raise $5,000 of the sum and they did it. The school has again become crowded and additional room is needed. A new dormitory is needed and the General Educational Board has offered $15,000 to the school, for the erection of a dormitory tq cost $25,000. The American Baptist Home Mission-Society has offered $5,000. This money is given on condition that colored people raise $5,000. This money must be raised by the first of July, if the dormitory and dining room are to be ready by October first. The money must be raised before the work begins. The student body and faculty have already begun to work on the project and are going to put forth their greatest efforts to raise the amount necessary to obtain the sum that will enable the work to start by the first of July. This undertaking is only a part of the plan that the school mapped out. The colored people of this state have one duty and that is to raise the $5,000. ever held in this city and the floral offerings were very numerous and beautiful, the most elaborate being a design from the city council and one from the G. A. R. There was a number of out-of-town persons who attended the funeral, among them being Dr. C. C. Johnson, Aiken; Rev. P. P. Watson, Orangeburg; Rev. Coit, Charleston; and Rev. Washington. St. Helena. Gen. Smalls is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Bamfield, for more than six years postmistress here; Mrs. Sarah Smalls Washington, a teacher for many years in Claflin University; one son, Mr. W. Robert Smalls, a teacher at Austin, Tex. and several grand children. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 6TH D. The Late Gen. Robt.

Dr. Brunner and his assistants will have personal charge of the exhibit which will remain at the league's headquarters all during the week. Aside from this, the Right Rev. F. F. Reese, bishop of the local Protestant Episcopal diocese, will address the meeting one night during the week. It was through Bishop Reese that the league was able to secure its present headquarters, and the members and friends of the league will be pleased to have him address them. The local Negro doctors' association will have charge of one night's program and their discussion of the various health subjects will be of great interest and will add much to the importance of the occasion. The ladies of the league, who have done so much to make the work of the league effective, will add greatly to the celebration by taking charge of one night's program. The Tribune will later publish each night's program. Dr. E. E.

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED IN LEADING PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS EMMETT J. SCOTT HEADS ADVERTISING AGENCY Nashville, Tenn.—One of the most constructive of the measures adopted by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Press Association which recently convened here with the resolutions endorsing the organization of a National Negro Business Service. Mr. Emmett J. Scott for fifteen years the secretary of the National Negro Business League, was very wisely selected to organize and work out the details of this movement. With Mr. Scott's broad and comprehensive knowledge of business details and his intimate association with successful business as represented by both races, he is well qualified, it is thought, to render invaluable assistance to the race by helping the Negro business men of the country solve their merchandising and advertising problems, and at the same time bring these business men into intimate relationship with Negro newspapers to the end that they may help each other. In addition to this, the National Negro Business service will undertake to present the cause of the Negro press intelligently, effectively and persistently to national advertisers who spend millions each year for advertising and who overlook the power of the Negro papers to reach and direct the millions spent annually by the race for necessities, because it has not been brought to their attention. With the co-operation of the Negro press and the National Negro Business League and with the location of the main office at Tuskegee, Mr. Scott and his associates, the efforts of the National Negro Business Service, can help the Negro newspapers of the country secure the standing they deserve among advertisers, and also can help in the movement to secure the race, independence and prosperity through the increased efficiency of its business men. The following resolution, offered by Hon. Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Executive Committee meeting of the National Negro Press Association in mid-winter session assembled February 12, 1915, was, upon being read, referred to the Advertising committee with power: Whereas, the Negro Press represents the two basic purposes in advertising: general publicity and direct sales advertising, and Whereas, with more than two hundred Negro newspapers, magazines, etc., we have practically no recognition at the hands of national advertisers despite the intelligent buying clientele represented by this group of newspapers and other publications, and Whereas, it is important that our newspapers "go after" a proportionate of this advertising business, be it Resolved, that the organization of National Negro Business Service be, and hereby is, endorsed, with Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., a member of this executive committee, as president and general manager in connection with his duties as secretary of National Negro Business League; the idea and purpose of such National Negro Business Service being to intelligently direct merchandising and advertising campaigns for Negro business concerns promote advertising in Negro newspapers, and the influencing of national advertisers to use Negro publications in reaching this importantly valuable group of people with its tremendous purchasing power, etc. The resolution was approved by the Advertising Committee and adopted.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Morris NUMBER 24 PUBLICATION OF NAMES BENEFITS CHILDREN Leaders For February Monthly List Posted in Tribune Window Attracts Attention of Passerby—Much. Rivalry Among Pupils for Places of Honor. The monthly publication by The Tribune of the first six pupils in each grade of the public schools of the city is attracting wide attention every month and the children and parents both read the names with much interest. It is amusing to see how eager the children are to get hold of copies of The Tribune containing the list, even the little tots in the lower grades, who can scarcely read the names, stopping for an almost incredible length of time on their way to and from school or on aerrand for their parents, before Tribune office, trying to make out the names of the leaders as posted in the window. The monthly publication of the leaders in the schools has proved a great boost to the endeavors of the children and has caused a very healthy rivalry to spring up among them.

(Continued on last page) Facinating Spring Modes Boleros and short Short Skirts Combine in Jaunty Costumes. TURKISH TROUSER SKIRTS New York March 5—with the first breath of Spring weather, costumes begin to take on Springlike colorings. Hats in gayer coloring or trimmed with brightflowers and feathers announce to the world that Spring has returned, even when the suit or dress remains of the somber colors of winter. Covert cloth has been the novelty in winter suits and is very popular in the spring, for it is light in color and combines with many things. A new cloth called buck-skin covert is the newest of this type. A few days ago I received announcement cards from a Fifth Avenue dressmaking establishment, of a private view of their newest models. From the general salesrooms I was guided into a gray and gold elevator and from there to an artistic room also in gray and white and gold. The simplest of small stages occupied one side of the room. A few chairs were placed carlessly around the room, and we made ourselves comfortable for the review. © MCCALL A Smart New Coat on Empire Lines. Boleros were the most striking features shown. Short little bobby, sleeveless jackets, some cut square and straight around, others scalloped or slashed. These were worn over full blouses which bloused a trifle over the belt or girdled instead of being pulled straight down. Most of these were long-sleeved, while others had the hell sleeves, three-quarter or half-length, wide and unbound at the lower edge. The skirts were full and short, most of them being built on peasant lines, with full apron-like overskirts front and back, divided on the sides and showing a plain ruffled underskirt beneath. Another noticeable feature in these dresses was the fact that they were all made with a normal waistline, an interesting fact when one thinks of all the long waisted and Empire lines which are shown as forerunners of Spring and Summer fashions. It is a fact that the frocks made on Empire lines are decidedly for the girlish figure while the roundwaisted frocks suit all styles of figure more or less. Another type of costume shown here was taken from the 15th Century French costumes. The waist was in doublet effect, slashed several times front and back through which the creamy white chiffon blouse peeped. A short pleated peplum finished the lower edge of the waist. This was worn over a full skirt with a pleated ruffle on the bottom. An interesting thing to remember is that these pleated ruffles which are used on the bottom of so many skirts are pressed flat and put on the lower edge without a heading of any kind. ing skirt. On many of these dresses where a little color is needed to give the proper note for contrast a corsage bouquet was used. There are many different kinds of these flowers, those made from velvet or silk or chiffon and those made from ribbon. The trimming on some of the early spring hats is very simple, often being but a strip of narrow ribbon, usually grosgrain, with a strand of beads, in dull white, blue or other dull color which will form a pleasing contrast placed just above it. New handkerchiefs are showing narrow-colored frills around their edge of pink or blue or violet. The very-sheerest of liner is used for those handkerchiefs and the result is fluffy and dainty The Inter-collegiate Y. M. C. A. Conference of Religion and Social Service. Atlanta, Ga.—Some weeks ago Mr. Tobias, Y.M.C.A. Sec'y with work among colored colleges of the South, called together representatives of Morehouse College Morris Brown University and Atlanta University. These men were organized into a committee on arrangements for a campaign on religion and social service to be initiated by the college men of the institutions named. The date set for the campaign was February 25th, to February 28th inclusive. The committee on arrangement had so well advertised the campaign that a large company of college men was at the first session held at Morehouse College Thursday February 25th. Mr Tobias, presiding officer, gave a few opening remarks in which he said that the purpose of the conference was to get the men of the colleges of Atlanta to appreciate the importance of co-operative effort in extensive work and also to bring about a morcordial feeling among the college in athletics. He introduced the speaker of the session, Mr.-A. I Jackson, an honor graduate of Harvard, 1914, and class orator Mr. Jackson with intereststories drawn out of his athletic experiences, made clear two points: the importance of each man who expected to do social work to be filled with Christianity as expressed in unselfish work and the importance of clean, manly athletics. At the evening session, at the same place, Mr. Tobias made an appeal to the men to begin the Christian life. On Friday the meetings were held at Morris Brown University. At the afternoon session Mr. R. H. Edwards, of the International Committee, New York made an appeal to the men to live the "four square life." He said that every man who lived the "four square life" had four great awakening thru human experiences. They are first the awakening to him self second, the awakening to his friends; third, the awakening to his community or to his time fourth, the awakening to God Then Mr. Jackson spoke to the young men on "education for life" He said one of the factors in education was loyalty, i. e., allegiance to the flag. Yet when we applaud the flag we also praise the evil conditions represented by the flag. Hence it is our duty to see to it that the flag stands for liberty, justice, unselfishness and equality. The students, he said, should make acquaintance with the unfortunate and become "big brothers" to them. In the evening Mr. A. M. Trawick, of Nashyille, social service international secretary, Y. M. C A., with work among the Southern white colleges, was the chief speaker. He presented the social problems of the Southland the ways in which college men should attack them. The social conditions about which he spoke were bad; but the humor with which he presented them removed all gloominess from his discussion. He said that social service is the working for men in groups and that this service must be rendered through the church. On Saturday the meeting of the conferences were held at Atlanta University. Mr. R. H. Edwards spoke on the amusements in American life. He showed clearly the relation of amusements to social service and social problems. He said the college men should support only the best amusements, and, if necessary, should create their own fun, in order that they might have pure minds and clean imagination and that they might cultivate virtues of strong personalities. He also said that the creation of styles. Sometimes with a pleated lower skirt showing just below, and again with an underskirt of filmy lace. One of these frocks I will describe in detail. The skirt was a long blue tunic striped with a thread of yellow and crossed with a satin strip. This was slashed up about eight inches and faced upon the upper side with plain blue. The pleated underskirt of plain blue just peeped out from beneath the tunic. A short bolero jacket also slashed and bound with plain blue is worn over a white chiffon blouse with a narrow pleat down the center having a narrow frill on either side. The long sleeves had deep flaring cuffs of the striped silk with a frill of the chiffon around the edge. The collar of the blouse was very high with a frill of chiffon above and below. Another little dress which sported a short bolero jacket and chiffon blouse, having deep bell sleeves of the chiffon, had a skirt which showed a new evolution of the tunic skirt. The skirt was of blue, chiffon taffeta with two box-pleatings around the bottom. The skirt was the full length in the back, but the front was the depth of two box-pleated ruffles shorter, and beneath were two box-pleated frills of white chiffon. The effect was stunning. Contrast is a strong note in the color combinations of the season. Many dark jackets were shown with white or light colored skirts. Wide leather belts were used on some of the dresses. One white serge dress had a red patent leather belt which was very effective indeed. A white chiffon afternoon dress showed the raglan sleeves with surplice fronts of filet lace and a loose panel of the filet lace in the back. The unusual skirt was made of chiffon with three graduated bands of shirred silk applied. Each band was shirred upon a cord top and bottom which gave the band a very pretty finish. A mode which is having quite a vogue and is both graceful and effective has been inspired by the Turkish trousers. This dress, however, is not the trouser skirt, far be it! There is a foundation skirt made shorter than the outside skirt and the lower edge of the outside skirt is gathered and caught to the lower edge of the underskirt and the skirt itself is bloused, if that term can be used, all around the bottom. The dress which I saw having a skirt like this had a very wide belt with large round disks or moons embroidered on it in red and silver and gold. © McCALL The New Basque Effect the Feature of This Costume. A coat and a dress showing the long and short-waisted effects are shown in the illustrations. The coat in diagonal blue serge, with full skirt and belt with pockets upon each side is a late and practical model for the Spring coat. In the illustration the coat is worn with a sand colored skirt. In plain and moire taffeta is the dress illustrated made in the latest basque effect.

At the evening session social workers of Atlanta presented the needs of this community and made pleas for the college men to aid in bettering these conditions. Miss Ware spoke of the work of the Free Kindergarten Association; Mrs. Hope, the vork of the Neighborhood Union, and Miss Chadwick spoke of the Leonard Street Orphanage, Prof. Simm, of Morris Brown University, spoke of the opportunity of coial service thru boys' clubs. At this point the following resolutions were presented, and were unanimously adopted: 1. That all the students of all the colleges in this city be represented and urged to participate in some definite extension work in the community; that this work be the social service type, to be initiated and planned by an intercollegiate committee, chosen from the cabinets of the Y. M. C. A's of the colleges participating. 2. That the cabinets of these colleges shall appoint athletic committees from their membership whose duty it shall be to work among the athletes of their respective schools to bring out a higher standard of ethics in athletics, a greater prevalence of air play, clean language, courous and hearty fellowship. 3. That a page of the minutes of this conference be set apart and these resolutions be inscribed here on. Upon motion of Mr. Tobias, the committee on arrangements was made this committee. It was further voted that copies of these resolutions be furnished to Y. M. C. A cabinets of the colleges, the college papers and pars of the city. The concluding session of the conference was held Sunday Afternoon at the Odd Fellows Auditorium. The college men gathered in front of the Y. M. C. A. on Auburn avenue, and marched in procession to the Auditorium, where an audience of a thousand young men assembled. Mr. Jackson emphasized getting back to the fundamentals of life. The chief speaker of the afternoon was Mr. J. E. Moreland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. He pleaded with the men to live lives of personal purity and high ideals. Whatever the outcome of the conference can be, the student body of the Negro colleges of Atlanta have received the spiritual and social uplift, which must result in great good. Double Punishment Punishment for giving short weight is far from new, and the Turks long ago took drastic measures to check this tendency on the part of tradesmen. The Sultan Achmet HL, walking through the streets of Stamboul, saw at the door of a baker's shop the owner, his hands tied behind him, with one ear mailed to a post. Upon inquiry he was told the cause of the poor fellow's predicament. "Who is he?" asked the sultan. "May it please your highness." was the reply. "the supplies the bread for the imperial sergilo." "Ah, my baker!" Then set up another post and nail his other ear to it. The sultan's baker should have a double reason for honesty." Depended on the Assay.

It is a subject worthy of profound and gratifying thought to observe and realize the tremendous influence this great Fraternious influence this great Fraternitas in the affairs of men. From the far away-frozen North to "Africa's burning sands" the grand old story reads the same—help, uplift, loving kindness to every weary, discouraged soul, regardless of creed, country or condition. We stand upon the limitless platform of "Peace on earth, good will to man," ever wending like the pebble tossed into still water—its beingn and beautiful influences upon thought, speech, character, act, life and death as well. And although in our human weakness and proneness to evil, we may lapse from the high ideals taught by F. A. M., in the final round-up we are better men, better citizens, and better 'brothers' than never to have been taught at all!—Corner Stone. When a person makes application to a Masonic lodge, especially after having only been within the jurisdiction of that lodge for the required twelve months, or a short while longer, I believe it should be compulsory for the committee on character to investigate that party's record for at least five years prior to the date of his application. Certain it is that if a man is worthy to become a member of a Masonic lodge, he will not object to that investigation. If he is not worthy, the lodge should know it. I do not believe that such a requirement would keep a single good man out of the fraternity, but on the other hand it would prevent a great many people from gaining admittance.—A Past Master Every degree of Freemasonry is progressive, and cannot be attained but by time, patience and assiduity. In the first degree we are taught the duties we owe to God, to our neighbor and ourselves. In the second degree we are admitted to participate in the mysteries of moral science, and to trace the goodness and majesty of the Creator by minutely analyzing His works. But the third degree is the cement of the whole; it is calculated to bind men together by mystic bonds of fellowship, as in a bond of fraternal affection and brotherly love; it points to the darkness of death and the obscurity of the grave, as the forerunner of a most brilliant light which shall follow at the resurrection of the just, when these mortal bodies which have been long slumbering in the dust shall be awakened, reunited to their kindred spirit, and clothed with immortality. Among the brethren of this degree the Ancient Landmarks of the order are preserved, and it is from them we derive that fund of information which none but ingenious and expert Masons can supply, whose judgments have been matured by years and experience. To a perfect knowledge of this degree few attain, but it is an infallible truth that he who gains by merit those marks of pre-eminence and distinction which this degree affords receives a reward which amply compensates for all his attention and assiduity.-Missouri Freemason. Honor on Our Choice. In the Charge after his initiation a newly admitted Brother is enjoined to particularly refrain from recommending anyone to a participation in the secrets of the Craft, unless he has strong grounds to believe that by real fidelity he will ultimately reflect honor on the choice of the brethren who receive him. This is certainly very excellent advice, but how best to carry it into effect, or how to produce the best results from its practice, is by no means an easy task; and if we take the injunction, tool literally we may prehaps defeat the real object and ambition of the Masonic Order—the advancement and betterment of our fellow creatures. Happily the Craft of Freemasonry does not call for absolute perfection in its candidates. What it does require is a reasonable chance that any one admitted to membership may ultimately reflect honor on the choice of those who recommended him; while one of the earliest lessons impressed upon the new member is the necessity to strive for a daily advancement in Masonic konwledge, or, in other words, a regular progression in the the great humanizing work of the Craft, as explained in its endeavor to teach the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of man. —Freemason's Chronicle. Frederick the Great, who was the author of the famous letter of denunciation to the ecclesiastical authorities of Aix-la-Chapelle, who were endeavoring to foment disturbance against the Masonic body, laid aside his royal robe, scepter and crown when he entered the door of the lodge.—The Northern Freemason. Patience. No attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it.-Le Bruyere. Cheap money will solve many of the farmers problems. There is not enough of the community spirit among our rural districts. Success in farming depends largely upon proper marketing methods, cheap money and cooperation. Something is wrong in our marketing system when a small crop brings more money than a bountiful one. Co-operation between practical farmers and proficient business men will eleminate ignorance and prejudice. The highest duty of the state and Federal Government is to place agricultural education within the reach of all. The farmer cannot be helped until he organizes, and the Government can best help the farmer through organization. By co-operating with his neighbor the farmer can learn new methods of culture and the interchange of ideas will benefit both. The Nation's menu must be made up from the fields, pastures, orchards and gardens, and to farm intelligently the farmer must know what he needs. An Quince of Prevention is Worth A Ton of Cure. It is said that the sword of Damocles was suspended above the head of that tyrant with but a single thread. Every man, woman and child ought to think well of the lesson taught by this example. The fire demon is the sword of destruction that ever hangs above the heads of the people. If you knew that by the mere snipping of a thread all you have saved would be wiped out, wouldn't you ever be on the alert to see that the thread was not snipped? More property is destroyed by fire than by all other destroying elements combined. Storms come with the seasons, and warning of their coming is generally given. Winds reach a destructive velocity at but rare intervals and floods follow expected courses. But fires are catholic in their field. They visit the just and the unjust and everywhere there is food for the fire demon he finds his victuals. Be on the watch tower of your own home all the time. He fat- tens on your own folly. You can prevent his paying you a visit if you but will. Government Issues Washington, D. C.—The crop reporting board of the Federal Department of Agriculture has just made its estimate of the 1914 farm crops of the United States. Fourteen crops, covering 300,782.000 acres or 92 per cent of the nation's cultivated area are included in the report and the combined farm value of all products is estimated at $4,964,000,000. Although the 1914 production of crops is 10 per cent. greater than the previous year the aggregated farm value is $20,000,000 less. Both the wheat and cotton crops of the nation in 1914 were the largest on record. The cotton crop was nearly 16,000,000 bales and the wheat production was approximately 891,000,000 bushels. While 1914 cotton production was approximately 1.800,000 bales more than the one of 1913 the value was $306,000,000 less. Cotton in 1913 averaged $22.20 per acre against $14.14 in 1914. The yield per acre in 1914 was 25 pounds more than in 1913 but the price per pound in 1914 was 6.8 cents and 12.2 cents in 1913. Now is the Time to Swat the Fly. Uncle Sam is waging a relentless war on the deadly house-fly and in a late bulletin prepared by the Department of Agriculture, valuable information is given on the best means of combating this deadly pest. The most effective way of exterminating the fly, in accordance to the bulletin, is to eradicate his breeding places. The breeding season of the fly begins early in March and continues throughout the spring and summer months. All dirt should be removed from the premises, stables cleaned and decaying vegetables destroyed. The fly has rightly been called the undertaker's traveling salesman, and in addition to his regular line of "typhoid bugs", he carries a side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic Cholera and other disease germs. Now is the time to "swat the fly." Fruit and Seed Every one who enjoys thinks that the principal thing to, the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.

The "kasabi" torta (we get our word "tart" from torta of Hispanic-America is the biggest regularly made cracker on earth. It is made from the kasabi root and lightly fired in cakes about the size of a small parasol. A cracker for a hat—such indeed is sometimes the use made by the Latin peons of the kasabi torta when needing a temporary sunshade (sombrero). The torta is always made bowl shaped so it can be balanced on the head without any particular effort—and provided no wind interferes. Rain, however, quickly soaks and collapses this remarkable and useful edible headgear.—London Express. Queer. "When a woman wears a very low gown people say that she is dressed in the height of fashion."-Detroit Free Press. Those Who Buy Them. The man who can't afford to buy one; the man who prefers to own a good team of thoroughbreds; the man who doesn't mind the first cost, "but it's such an expense to run one;" the man who wouldn't have time to enjoy one the man who would like one all right "only I want to get my place paid for first"—they are all buying cars so fast that the factories can't keep up with orders. Before long there will not be enough pedestrians left to furnish sport for the drivers.—Puck. THE LOVE OF GOLD. Men pursue riches under the idea that their possession will set them at ease and above the world. But the law of association often makes those who begin by loving gold as a servant finish by becoming themselves its slaves, and independence without wealth is at least as common as wealth without independence.—Colton. Among the rare specimens not open to public inspection in the Harvard zoological museum is what is claimed to be the largest frog in the world. It weighs about six pounds, is twenty-seven inches long from tip to toe and of a slaty black color. Its web feet are equal in size to those of a large swan. But three of its kind have ever reached the United States. Dr. Boulenger of the British museum was the discoverer of the new species in 1906 while on an expedition in central Africa. All known specimens have been found in two districts, called Kribi and Etulan, of the German colony Kamerun. Pleasure at Death. A wise man shall not be deprived of pleasure even when death shall summon him, forasmuch as he has attained the delightful end of the best life, departing like a guest full and well satisfied. Having received life upon trust, and duly discharged that office, he acquits himself at departing.—Epistetus. "Roland" of Ghent Cathedral. "Roland" is the alarm bell in the belfry of Ghent cathedral, and on it is engraved an inscription which may be thus translated: "My name is Roland; when I toll there is fire, and when I ring there is victory in the land." The bell has been immortalized by Longfellow in his poem "The Belfry of Bruges." Till the bell of Ghent responded o'er lagoon-and dike of sand: "I am Roland' I am Roland! There is victory in the land!" In the Wrong Place: Little Kitty had fallen down and cut her knee. Her mother promptly rendered first aid; but, as it was rather dark and she could not see the wound properly, she consequently placed the bandage rather too low. "Oh, mummie," complained the child, "this bandage is not in the right place! I fell down higher up!" Mrs. Carrie Patterson left on Thursday afternoon for Palm Beach, Fla., where she was called-on account of the serious illness of her brether-in-law, Arthur Patterson.

Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xi—Memory Verse, 12, 13—Golden Text, Prov. xvl, 32—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. After the Lord had brought to Samuel the man whom He had chosen as king for Israel and Samuel had anointed him he returned to his home, having met on his way all whom Samuel said he would meet, for all came to pass just as Samuel said. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he became a changed man (chapter x, 6-10). All this was a private matter between the Lord and Samuel and Saul, for when Saul reached home he only told that Samuel had assured him that the asses had been found, but he said nothing of the kingdam. Then Saul called the people to Mizpah, reminded them of the Lord's deliverance from Egypt and all enemies and of their rejection of God in demanding a king and then proceeded to have them elect a king with God's permission. It was, no doubt, done by lot, as the land was divided, for "the lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord" (Num. xxvl, 55, 56; Prov. xv1, 33). First the tribe was found and then the family and then the man (chapter x, 20, 21; compare Josh. vll, 16-18), and thus they were guided to the man whom He had already chosen and anointed. Although elected, he could not for a time be found, so they inquired of the Lord, and He told them where to find him. Whether it be a person or a thing that cannot be found. He that is perfect in knowledge knows where to find the lost (Job xxxvl, 4) When the people looked upon the man whom God had chosen they could not refrain from shouting. "God save the king!" or, as in the margin. "Let the king live!" (x. 23-25.) The band of men whose hearts God had touched were a comfort to him, so that he was able to seem as a deaf man to his enemies (x. 26, 27). Our lesson chapter shows how Saul by the Spirit of the Lord began to deliver Israel and to obtain the confidence of the people. I suppose there is scarcely a day in the life of any child of God when there is not an occasion to say. "Now, the serpent" (Gen. iii, 1), for he is ever going about to make trouble. Nahash, whose name signifies "serpent," was moved by the deril, whose he was and whom he served, to seek to bring reprench upon Israel (verses 1-3). Saul heard of the distress of Jahesh Gilead and in a very striking way summoned the people to gather unto him and Samuel, and 330,000 gathered, and word was sent to the distressed that they would have help by the morrow. That night or in the early morning (verse 11) Saul came suddenly upon the Ammonites and so completely routed them that two of them were not left together (verses 4-11). The morning deliverances of the Bible are full of interest and are all suggestive of the morning that is coming, when the Lord shall finally and forever deliver Israel (Ps. xlv. 5, margin). Compare Ps. xlix, 14, and see Ex. xlv, 24, 27. Think also of Dan. vii, 19-23, and of the deliverance that came to the disciples in the morning watch (Mark vi, 48). But, while believers may well rejoice in the glorious morning that is coming and in Him who is to us the Morning Star (II Sam. xxll, 5; Rev. xxll, 16), it is also written that there will be no morning for such as do not believe God (Isa. vii, 20; margin and revised version). When the people saw the great deliverance wrought by Saul they asked to have Saul's enemies put to death, but Saul would not listen to it, saying, "There shall not a man be put to death this day, for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel" (verses 12, 13). It was the same power that wrought for Israel at the Red sea (Ex. xlw, 13, 30) and on so many occasions in all their history, and their greatest deliverance is yet to come (Zech. xlv, 3, 9). Samuel then gathered the people to Gigal, and then there made Saul king before the there they made Saul king before the Lord, offered sacrifices, and all Israel rejoiced greatly (verses 14, 15). Thus far all seemed to be going well, but when man has his way there is soon failure, for "verily, every man at his best state (apart from God) is altogether vanity" (Ps. xxxix, 5). Chapter xii tells how Samuel rehearsed the history of the nation from their coming out of Egypt, the Lord's dealings with them under Moses and Aaron and how many a time He delivered them in the days of the judges. He also asked them to testify as to whether during all the time that he had judged them he had ever taken anything from them or defrauded any one or taken a bribe to blind his eyes, but they called God to witness that they could find no fault in him in any of these matters (xil, 1-5). To show them that he was right before the Lord as well as in their eyes and that they had done wrong in asking for a king when the Lord Himself was their King he asked the Lord to send thunder and rain that day, and He did so. The people seemed to see their sin and asked Samuel to pray for them (xil, 6-19). Samuel assured them that, though they had done this great wrong, yet if they would truly turn to the Lord and fear Him and serve Him in truth with all their heart He would for His great name's sake forgive them and not forsake them and he (Samuel) would not cease to pray for them. Cash Profits Do Not Measure the Returns From a Farm. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture] Just how much does the average farmer make? The answer to this puzzling question has been long sought by agricultural experts, since it is the ultimate test of all systems of farm management. It is simple enough to calculate the cash profits received in the course of the year, but these do not measure the farmer's success. The farm supplies him with much besides money—with food, shelter and fuel. For these things the city worker has to pay out a large part of his wages. They must, therefore, be included in any just estimate of the farmer's income. In other words, the city worker is paid entirely in cash, the farmer partly in cash, partly directly in the necessities of life. To obtain fuller knowledge of the value of this direct contribution from the farm, the United States department of agriculture has recently concluded an investigation which included 438 farm families, divided among ten states in different sections of the country. The investigators found that on these farms the cost of maintaining each grown person was on the average $176 a year. Of this sum only about 22 per cent was paid out in cash. The remainder was furnished by the farm, not in the form of money, but in those things for which the money would have been exchanged. The extent to which a farm can thus be made self sustaining, made to supply the wants of the family that lives upon it without resorting to buying and selling, is indicated by conditions in the particular area of North Carolina included in the investigation. This area, it may be said, is not regarded as typical of Southern agriculture. The investigators found that the average annual value of the food, fuel, oil and shelter enjoyed by the farm family was $500. Of this sum the average farm furnished directly $429, leaving only $76 to be bought. The grocery bill was always the largest item in the cash expenditure. This was even more apparent in other sections where the farms were less nearly self sustaining than in this particular area of North Carolina. The bulk of the groceries was always bought, but the total quantity consumed depended to a great extent upon the quantity of animal products and vegetables raised on the farm. Where these abounded the consumption of groceries diminished. From this it would seem that an obvious way to effect an important saving in expenses is to raise more vegetables and animal products on the farm. Whether it is better to cut down expenses in this way or to increase receipts by concentrating attention on cash crops is one of the great problems in farm management, the answer to which in each individual case depends upon local conditions. In the past, however, many farmers have not realized the existence of the alternative. The two other important items in the cost of maintenance are house rent and labor. Both of these it is a common error to overlook in estimating the farmer's income. Since the house usually goes with the farm and the labor is performed by members of the family both are taken for granted. With labor it is much the same. The members of the family secure by their work comfort which they would otherwise have to buy, or, to put it another way, if they did the work for somebody else they would be paid. As it is, they pay themselves. It is obvious, therefore, that what the farm furnishes directly in food, in fuel, in shelter and in rent is an important part of the farm family's income. On the other hand, it must be remembered that the farmer has capital invested in his business, the interest on which must be earned before he can truly be said to be making money. In the proper relation of the three factors—interest on the investment, cash receipts and direct income from the farm—lies the secret of successful farming. Homemade Plumb Bob. While you can get along on a farm without a plumb bob, it is nevertheless very handy when doing certain kinds of work, and it is a part of the everyday equipment for rough and ready ```markdown ``` farm carpentering and building. The one illustrated here is easy to make. Very little material is required. Take two ordinary laths, get them set true with the try-square or T-square and attach the bob with a string. By using the illustration as a guide you can make a very serviceable help.—Farm Progress.

The subject for the morning was "Jesus looking for faith", and for the night "Preparedness". We have already been helped by the revival services, though we have two weeks before ours begin. One more was added to the membership Sunday night. Services tomorrow as follows: preaching 11 a. m. and 8 p. m., Sunday school 3:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m. Second Baptist Church.

On Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service the pastor preached a soul stirring sermon. The attendance was good considering the inclement weather. Sunday school met at the usual hour. It is the desire of the officers and teachers of the school for mothers to send their children to Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. met at the usual hour and had a live meeting. It is important that every member try to attend the meeting on Sunday evening as we have some very important business. At the 8 o'clock service the pastor preached on the Prodigal son.

Services for tomorrow as follows: prayer meeting 5 a. m., preaching 11 a. m. and 8 p. m., Sunday school 3:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. 6:30. St. Benedict's Church. Last Wednesday night Rev. Father Matthews, O. S. B., professor of the Sacred Heart College, preached one of the greatest sermons ever heard in St. Benedict's Church. His subject was "The shadow of the cross". In a long and most pathetic discourse he showed to the congregation how the cross and passion of our Savior was fore-shadowed many times in the Old and New testaments. The tree of life in the Garden of Eden was a foreground of the cross and so were the blood of innocent Obel, the Ark of Noe, the sacrifice of Abraham, the miraculous rod of Moses, the suffering of King David and many other events which occurred in the life of the patriarks and prophets. The Reverend Father concluded his discourse by an earnest appeal to look always upon the cross as our sign of salvation. It was before Christ came into this world a sign of infamy but now stands before the whole world as the banner, the emblem, the ensign of victory and eternal life. Besides the powerful sermon delivered in the most beautiful language, the great illumination of the sanctuary, the excellent music furnished by the choir, the pious and humble attitude of the numerous worshippers, all concurred to give last Wednesday's lenten service the most impressive and religious character. Next Wednesday, Reverend Father Cornelius, O. S. B., also professor at the Sacred Heart College, will preach the sermon at our lenten service at 8 p.m. Tomorrow is general communion day for the school children, as well as for other members of the Parish. Confessions are heard to-day from 4:30 to 6:30 and 7:30 to 9 p.m., and also before the first and second masses tomorrow. Every first Friday in the month is a general devotion day towards the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The blessed sacrament is exposed in our church during the whole day. The Holy Hour takes place from 8 to 9 p.m. The month of March is St. Joseph's month, consecrated to him especially. Every day after mass a special prayer is offered to St. Joseph, to invoke him as our guardian and protector in life and death. Tomorrow is the third Sunday in Lent. Gospel Luke XI 14-28, "Jesus cast out a drink and the same was drunk." Compulsory Change of Name. A notable instance of compulsory change of name occurred in Scotland in the seventeenth century, when the clan Macgregor was ordered to abandon and forget its ancient patronymic. The English government thought by this means to stamp out the spirit of Rob Roy's redoubtable kinsmen, and so sternly was the decree enforced that the use of the old name was treated as a capital offense. For the time the clansmen submitted and took other names; but, so far from forgetting the old designation, later generations proudly reverted to it, and today there are more Macgregors in the world—to the world's gain—than ever before.—London Standard. A Beacon-field Story Princess Catherine Radziwill in her "Memories of Forty Years" has a reminiscence of Lord Benconshield: "I think that he never enjoyed anything more than the thunderbolt which startled the world when it heard of his secret treaty with Russia concerning Batoum and with Turkey concerning the cession of Cyprus to England. I remember meeting him on that day at a reception given by Countess Karolyi. He walked quietly into the room with a sphinxlike expression on his face, and I could not help asking him what he was thinking of. 'I am not thinking,' he replied; 'I am enjoying myself.'" Kipling's Scots Vernacular. The Scots (Scottish or Scotch of "McAndrew's Hymn") is so accurate that one is surprised to find Mr. Kipling representing Scotch soldiers as saying "mon" "Mgn" is, of course, the conventional symbol of what a Scot utters for the word "man," but I am assured that no Scot says "mon," though there are in the north several variations of the accepted English pronunciation. Some Scots say "maun," and others "mahn." "Mon" is reserved for pantomimes and pleasantries in Punch.-London Chronicle. "I know it," she said, calming seating herself, "but I am sure the men in here are more polite than they are in the car ahead. I couldn't get a seat at all in there. I don't mind the cigars, either. They're better than my husband smokes." No further objection was offered, and the lady kept her seat—Chicago Tribune. SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson X.—First Quarter, Fc. March 7, 1915. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. ix, 17, to x, 1. Memory Verse, x, 1—Golden Text, I Pet. ii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. These three chapters, in which we find today's lesson (vill to x), tell a sad yet beautiful and wonderful story, the sad part being Israel's rejection of God as their king and their desire to be like other nations; the wonderful past, His most gracious dealings with them and, the beautiful part, the way He overruled ordinary events to bring to Samuel the right man. It seems strange that Samuel, knowing so well Ell's failure to govern his sons, should have failed himself, in the same way (chapter vii. 1.5), but perhaps some who may read this are not qualified to throw any stones. The desire of the people for a visible king, like all other nations, hurt Samuel, for he was now an old man and had all his life judged them righteously; but, knowing that he was only the Lord's representative, he told Him all about it, as we should always do in all things. The Lord reminded Samuel that he was not the rejected one, but that the people had rejected Him and that Samuel was only sharing His rejection (chapter vill. 6.9). It is so still, for our Lord Jesus counts all treatment of His messengers as done to Himself (Matt. x. 24, 25, 40). The Lord told Samuel to beed their request, but to protest and show them what manner of man the king would be. This he did in the six times "He will take" of chapter vill. 10-18. Not withstanding the warning the people insisted that they must have a king. Samuel told the Lord their decision, and He told Samuel to make them a king (chapter vill. 19-22). Whether it be in answer to our right or our wrong requests, it is often His way to do beyond our desires, and so He selected for them the finest looking man in all Israel—a choice young man, none goodlier and head and shoulders taller than any other (chapter 1x, 1; 2x, 23). Samuel did not need to look for him nor to have any anxiety as to finding the right man, for the Lord told him in his ear one day, "Tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin" (chapter 1x, 15, 16). I like that expression "told him in his ear," for it is a great thing to have an ear for God, an anointed ear to hear His voice. His only. The commonplace events which the Lord used to bring the unsuspecting man to Samuel are fully told in chapter 1x, 314, and, if He thus wrought for an unbelieving man and a rebellious people, how much more will He work on behalf of His own, who truly desire to please Him! (Rodh. vill, 32; Isa. xlvll, 17.) The special lesson portion assigned us today begins with Saul approaching Samuel by the direction of the young maidens whom he met going out to draw water. How many Bible incidents there are associated with women drawing water, and how these maidens must have rejoiced a few days or weeks later that they had been used to direct the king to Samuel. There is a lot of comfort in the assurance that God worketh all things after the counsel of His own will and a whole lot more when we are willing to have Him work in and through us the good works He has prepared for us (Eph. 1, 11; 11, 10). As Saul drew near to Samuel again the anointed ear heard the Lord's whisper: "Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! This same shall reign over my people" (verse 17). The words "Behold the man!" make us think of Zech. v. 12, and John xix, 5, 21, the God-man, the King who shall yet rule over all Israel and over all nations forever. As the maidens were used to direct Saul to Samuel, so may we all be used to direct many "who-soevers" to Him who is ready to save them and share His kingdom with them. Now we find Saul in the kind hands of Samuel at a surprise party, where he hears wonderful things which he never expected to hear and which all came to pass. He is the most honored guest. Samuel, knowing that God would do as He had said, had made every preparation and had invited these thirty people to meet him. After the feast Samuel communed with Saul, then cared for him overnight, in the morning again compounded with him alone. The servant, having passed on, showed him the word of God, kissed him and anointed him captain over the Lord's inheritance. Saul's humility (verse 21) reminds us of that of Glideon (Judg. vl. 15), and well would it have been for him if he had continued thus humble. Note also his wise conduct toward his enemies in chapter x, 27, "He held his peace." or, as in the margin, "He was as though he had been deaf." Compare Ps. xxxvll. 13. Chapter x, 7, is one of the most restful verses I ever found. "Do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee." And the context teaches me that each morning, as I start the day, the Lord knows every one I shall meet and all that shall come my way. He orders all the circumstances, and I have only to fit in, not counting my own will or pleasure, but, seeing His hand in everything and saying a hearty "Even so, Lord," aim to glorify Him by patience and long suffering with joyfulness. As Joseph was able to say to those cruel brethren, "Not you, but God," so may we by His grace (Gen. xlv, 8).

Singfield) In. reading the signs of the times, we find that the repeated business doctrines uttered by the Negro Business League in stentorian tones, have and are still having their effect. The business men of Savannah, collectively fire loud in their praise of the timely and effective, work that is gradually being done by this organization among men who are bringing things to pass. A New Day. The dawn of the sunlight of a quarter of a century has awakened the Negro along business lines, and has caused him to feel the need of answering the roll call of business solicitations and insist on receiving his full share commensurate to the manner in which he has qualified. As a race, we have made good religiously, and socially; as church builders we cannot be excelled, and when it comes to society and fraternalism, we have no equals. In social ranks, we exceed the speed limit. Is it not time, that we consider a more effective, and tangible line, whereby our assets may be increased? Business Opportunity. It was a feature of interest at a certain prominent church in our city, when a prominent society had turned out to celebrate its anniversary, as well as to have the divine blessings of inspiration invoked upon them, some one chanced to read a synopsis of the organization, the life and growth of the society. Among other things he read the number of the years they had been exiting, the roll of officers, the number of deceased members of the fiscal year and last but not least, read that they had the snug sum of three hundred and fifty dollars on deposit in a certain white bank of the city, which is frequently referred to as being the strongest bank in the city. But why shouldn't a bank which gets deposits from that class of people it wants, and then from that class of people that are not wanted, be the strongest? Notwithstanding the fact, this is the bank where Negroes are Jim Crowed and discriminated against. We regard an act of this kind a great calamity on the twentieth century civilization in a city where Providence has brought to us two strong and worthy institutions, which are a long felt want and need among our people, for which our appreciation can in no better way be shown than to place on deposit with these banking institutions, the money we have to deposit. I refer respectfully to the Wage Earners Savings Bank, at Alice and West Broad streets and the Mechanic Bank, at 130 Barnard street. Let us as individuals, as societies, secret order workers, and what not, look this matter squarely in the face, and resolve that we render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. The Negro Business League wishes to bespeak for the business men of this community, their deep appreciation and profound gratitude to the ministers of the city, who have so fluently raised their voices in stentorian tones endorsing Negro businesses and encouraging the patronage thereof. This, of course, is as it should be with the pastors who are so broad hearted and thoughtful that they will speak of his struggling brother in business. But we invite the attention of that brother pastor who has not as yet considered the vast necessity of preaching the business gospel as well as the religious gospel. The thoughtful preacher must convert his brother preacher, who is less fortunate, to think that we have business souls, as well as human souls to save, for, indeed, it is just as essential to prepare for living in this world as it is to prepare for living in the world to come. It is just as necessary to arrange to get a coat to wear while here, as to arrange to get a long white robe to wear in the great beyond; it is just as necessary to arrange for a hat to wear in the streets of Savannah, as to arrange for a starry crown in paradise. These are the things that the Negro Business League has stood for and will always stand for, which meets the first Wednesday and third Friday evening in each month at its headquarters 458 West Broad street. We republish the above article because it was mixed with another in last week's issue of The Tribune. Much Interest in Leading Public School Pupils Continued from first page> Cuyler Street School.

Albany, Ga., Feb. 26-One of the biggest sales of cotton ever made by a Negro farmer in Georgia has just been concluded by Bartow F. Powell, of Baker county. whose 1915 cotton crop was stored in an Albany warehouse. Powell had sold none of his cotton prior to the turning Joose the entire lot. When he at last decided to sell, he had 500 bales on hand. He refused to let any of it go when the market was very low, and at last he decided to sell, he received an average price of 8 cts. for the lot. The cotton is now being compressed here, and will be exported. It puts approximately $23,00 to Powell's credit in the banks where he does business. He is one of the most successful farmers in this section. Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday a large crowd was at the meeting. Prof. Frank Dilworth, instructor in shoemaking at the Ga.
