NO. 21 POLAND A DESERT; FUTURE IS DARK PEOPLE IN WANT OF FOOD. Robert Crozier Long Makes Extended Tour of Country and Finds Great Devastation and Much Suffering. Tells Exactly What He Has Seen and What People Face. London—Robert Crozier Long, author and special correspondent, has written an account of his extended tour of the war devastated districts of Poland. In it he says: "Fills Poloniae," Kosciusko's epiphath on his country, has been realized. "A tour of central and south Poland and the Polish parts of Galicia concludes me of that. I visited all the chief towns and many villages, or ruins of villages, in 10,000 square miles of country lying between the Austro-German lines and the Vistula in a semicircle from the Bzura to the Nida. I visited also the busin of the Dunajec and Wilhelm, the theater of the sanquary May day outbreak. The country is a desert, the home of nomads. I got my first glimpse of it on the Bzura, west of Warsaw, where during a four months' artillery duel every habitat has disappeared. "I reached first battle front after dusk and from an observation tower saw the remnants were gaud, great Polish. This is typical of burnt out Polish. This is a frame cottages, often straw stitched, catches fire from the first shell and only ugly rows of brick chimneys are left. "Isolated factories all have been destroyed, mostly by alarms on the suspicion that they were staff headquarters. Thirty villages either were burned or blown up. "The governor of Radom assured me that 60,000 villages had been burned. Refuges assure me that in a circle extending thirty miles around Lodz only five villages were spared. "Poland's population is suffering as no Europeans have suffered since the Thirty Years' war. Every second man is a refuge. Warsaw has 60,000 refuges, a third of them Jews. In Radom around 15,000 refuges, in Kielce 20,000. "A Warsaw rabbi assured me that 100,000 Jews from the towns of Lodz, Plotkrow and Lowicz are without homes. Many refugees still trample the roads, begging desperately from people themselves beggars. Many thousands are huddled in the tottering fragments of cottages, while 10,000 are shivering in the abandoned trenches of Russian dugouts at Skaryszom. "I met many refugees without food or money and mostly ill clad. Near Ostrowiec was a dreary procession of men in thick sheepskin coats without other clothing, women in men's trousers and children in dresses improvised from shawls. "Such is Poland's present. The future is even worse. The country, ravaged and irreducible, begins to resemble the primeval Surmurian waste. Roads, forests and even fields were vanished. "The roads which have been repaired cannot bring food to civilians, for all are crowded by parallel transport columns. The fields were destroyed by transport and artillery trains, which, finding the roads too narrow, spread right and left, obliterating farms. "Winter grain was not sown, and there is to seed grain for spring. "The worst, because it is irremediable, is the forest destruction. Some woods have been hewn wholesale to make canesweaves through morases, to provide pails, so that make a clear field for artillery, some shelled for troops, some drenched with petroleum and burned. This forest devastation means for Polish generations of begery." STCWAWAY ALMOST DEAD. Seattle Man Hadn't Water or Water For Eight Days. Seward, Alaska—Iceland F. Farmer, a young draftsman who stowed away on the steamer Admiral Evans of the Pacific Alaska Navigation company at Seattle was found in the lower hold, and he was able to board the water, but will recover. When discovered he was wedged head downward between two bales of hay. Farmer heard that there are excellent opportunities for draftsmen at Ship Creek, Cook Inlet, where the government is assembling men and material for building the federal railroad in Alaska. Cork Log No Help to Him. Cleveland, O—Jewen Kelley's cook leg instead of acting as a life preserver a few days ago when he fell into the lake from the pier at the foot of East Ninth street came very near being a life destroyer. Struggle as he would could not raise his head to a level Commander Kelley which floated buoyantly. Commander Kelley who naval militia steamer Dorothea was ashore and dragged the drowning man out. FIFTY YEAR SEARCH ENDS. P. C. Grimes, Seventy-five, Finda His • Long Lost Sister. Altus, Okla.—A search of fifty years, extending over a dozen different states, during the progress of which a small fortune was expended in an advertising campaign, ended at Blair when P. C. Grimes of Nebraska City, Neb. stepped from an express passenger train into the arms of his sister, M. D. W. Jones of Altus. Mr. Grimes is seventy-five years old. Fifty years ago, after the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, the family broke up. After a few years they lost trace of each other and all efforts to get into communication were unavailing. Mr. Grimes then began his search. It was a more accident that Grimes finally found his sister. He had written a letter to her, directed to Rix, a discovered Green county, long since discovered. The letter was thrown to Mangum, the manager C. B. Townsend, who happened to be personally acquainted with Mrs. Jones, forwarded the letter to her. SHE QUIT PARSONAGE When Pastor-Husband Forgot Art of Kissing. St. Louis.-Mrs. Eugenia Anderson, nineteen years old, seven months' bride of the Rev. Arthur R. Anderson, pastor of the Central Christian church in Granite City, has returned to the home of her mother, Mrs. Minnie Koch of this city, because she says her husband would not kiss her. She told a reporter that in the last two months her husband had kissed her but once and that this lone salute was not upon her lips, true lover fashion, but in a half hearted way on her cheek. She said she did not wish to be divorced and would be glad to resume her place as mistress of the manse if her husband would only give her a little affection. St. Louis. — Miss Katherine Besse, eighteen years old, ate the first breakfast, luncheon and dinner she ever ate in her life a few days ago. For sixteen years she had not tasted completely food of any description. The channel of her throat, the esophagus, was in position, but was entirely useless until Dr. Francis W. Kirsch performed an operation known as gastromy and brought her back to normal. When she was two years old Miss Besse, who is the daughter of the widow of a grocery, drank a solution of lye while her mother was busy at her housework. The lye burned away the membranes of the child's mouth and the lining of her esophagus and caused this channel from her mouth to her stomach to become strictured and to close tightly. A physician who was called to attend her said she would die unless her esophagus was cut loose from her stomach and a new one made from parts of the stomach fashioned into a tube and sewed to the surface of her breast. Her parents refused to permit the physician to cut away the deadened esophagus but granted him permission to bring the lining of the stomach to the surface of her body and make an opening near the solar plexus, through which liquid food might be given her. Dr. Kirsch became interested in the case. He began a gentle probing with a slender pliable steel rod, which he forced down her esophagus. One after another the closed places in the old tissue were forced open and broken apart. As they were broken they were left attached to the inside of the new tissue that gradually had grown around the unused tube. Nature then began its process of absorption until the new throat was clear of any stricture. Then the surgeon placed the patient under an anesthetic and swiftly cut away the stitches and lifting of the stomach to the old opening. In breast, sewed this together and dropped it in place sewed together the muscles that had been severed sixteen years ago, cut away the abnormal tissues that had grown around the wound, stitched the severed skin together and when Miss Besse awoke from the ether told her she had become normal again. BEES HAVE PARALYSIS. Oklahoma Entomologist Finds Evidence of Disease. Oklahoma City, Oklah.- C. E. Samborn, state entomologist at the A. and M. college, has discovered that a disease which he describes as paralysis has attacked the honeybees in Oklahoma. Dead bees are furnished him for investigation. He took live bees and infected them with the bacillus of the dead ones, and soon they died. He says: "In death they showed the same action as bees ordinarily found with paralysis. Their abdomens became distended, two front feet drawn up against their feet the four肢 feet stretched out, sprawling and quivering; the mouth parts extended and quivering and the head frequently turned to one side."

LEAVES HOUSE TO HER PETS: Dead Woman's Dogs and Cats Occupy Home That Was Hers. Elizabeth, N. J.—Occupying a house in Ashwood avenue, a company of dogs and cats, which were the pets of the late Mrs. Mary Romine Wright, will be allowed to enjoy undisturbed their present abode until they voluntarily seek another home. Such request is contained in the will of Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Wright's daughter, Frederick C. Kelley, is named to see that the strange request is carried out. In accordance with the dead woman's desires her late home is kept heated and the animals fed regularly. Mrs. Kelley said she hoped the animals would become sufficiently attached to her to make their abode at her house, which is only a short distance from the Wright homestead. Mrs. Wright was well known in this vicinity as a friend of dumb animals. With her husband, the late Seaman L. Wright, she lived for more than forty years in the old homestead. DOG FINDS $1; TAKES IT HOME Shep Is Honest, but Thinks Everything Belongs to His Master. Muncle. Ind.-Edward Gottlieb of Muncle has a shepherd dog which for intelligence he believes cannot be surpassed. It is not unusual for the animal to bring home things that he finds in the streets. The other day it surpassed all its previous endeavors by coming home with a brand bill in its mouth. It is said the dog picked up the money in South Walnut street, in the center of the business district. Mr. Gottlieb is now endeavoring to find the person that lost the money. "Sheep does not mean to be dishonest," said his owner. "but he thinks that everything of value he sees should belong to me." Chinese Machine Has Three Keys With 50,000 Combinations. New York...Stenographers may be interested to learn that there is a new sort of typewriter which has just been invented by a young student in the engineering department of New York university. The machine is different from the typewriters familiar to the average person in several respects. For instance, the "standard" keyboard has twenty-six letters and in most cases about a dozen keys devoted to figures and punctuation marks, while the new keyboard has 4,200 characters in all and only three keys. One of the three keys is a back spacer, another the space key and the third is the key with which the 4,200 characters are struck. It is possible, according to the inventor, to make more than 4,200 characters by combinations of "radicals," or base characters. About 50,000 combinations can be made by the machine, the inventor said. That stenographers ambitious to operate the new typewriter will find at first their task a little difficult, at least, was indicated by the fact that it required two hours to write the first letter typed by the machine. This letter contained approximately 100 words, the operator was unfamiliar with the 4,200 characters. Stenographers of this city who do not have export or import houses dealing with paper however, are not apt to be called on to memorize the new keyboard for some time. The machine is said to be the first Chinese typewriter ever invented. Heuen Chi, the student inventor, demonstrated the method by which the machine worked. He conceived the idea that a typewriter could be made to write Chinese while he was at his home in southern China three years ago. he said. He began a study of the Chinese dictionary at once to isoform the characters of the words. In most cases, case characters of the words represent a whole word in Chinese, though, according to Heuen Chi, thousands of these characters are made up of simpler characters which alone represent words themselves. He continued studying the forms of the language during a year and a half he spent at London university and began work on his typewriter. Heuen came to this country as a government student and on the prompting of Chinese officials who had become interested in his scheme took New York university and continued to the on invention. He created the model a short time ago and has patented it in this country, China and Japan, for it also writes Japanese, which, be said, is similar to Chinese. FRANCE IMPROVES MATCHES Had Long Been the Worst In the World,[d] but No One Complained. Paris—For forty years France has endured the worst matches in the world uncomplainingly because the government took the monopoly, manufacturing, selling clothes as means of paying the German war debts. Now, however, big, cheap wooden matches, easy to strike, have replaced the sulphur tipped tippers that nearly choked unwary workers or obstinately refused to light. The newspapers do not chronicle the reform or its reason. Swam For Hours Around Spot Where Lusitania Disappeared and Was Finally Picked Up by a Torpedo Boat. Fires on Doomed Liner Made the Water Warm. London—The fate of Elbert Hubbard and his wife, who perished when the Lusitania was sunk, was first made known by Robert C. Wright, a survivor. His version of the destruction of the big ship follows: "I was standing on deck on the starboard side reading a novel when I heard a crash and an upheaval of water. Then an intense vibration shook the ship. "Saying to myself, 'This isn't serious, but it is best to be prepared! I started to get a life belt. Then the thought came to me, 'This is serious' and I became afraid to go. After that I had a resumption of confidence as the stewards went calmly about the deck shouting that there was no danger, but when the list continued until a boat nearby was not more than three feet from the water, though still fastened to the davits. "People already had crowded the boat when suddenly the ship gave a tremendous lurch, and I was thrown into the boat. A woman in the water helped to help her, and it suddenly seemed as if the end of the world come. There was a crash, followed by an upheaval. My ear rang with the concussion. Then, after a seeming eternity, the boiling waters calmed. ELBERT HUBBARD AND HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER. and the boat and all those in it had disappeared, and I was alone, swimming. "My thoughts at that moment were: 'This is fine. I loved swimming as a boy, and the water is warm. I am enjoying myself.'" "I soon changed my mind. I wasn't enjoying myself. The water became cold, and I was afraid, but I swam to an overturned boat that I saw at a distance and clung to it for two hours. In the distance was a fishing boat. She tacked and tacked, but never came nearer. I knew that this was on account of the wind, but I was annoyed. Then a torpedo boat picked me up. There was no panic on the Lusitania. It was not efficient. The boats were not lowered properly. Some snapped the ropes and fell, overturned. "I know that Elbert Hubbard was drowned. He was a conspicuous person on account of his long hair. I saw him and his wife start below, apparently for life belts, and never saw them again." THIN CIGARS ARE SAFEST. Chicago Doctor's Advice to Smokers and Motorists. Chicago—If you must smoke cigars smoke panetales in preference to the clubhouse shape, and smoke them fast, and if you own an auto walk enough to ward off "chronic arterial spasms." These bits of advice were given out at the Chicago Medical society meeting by Dr. Joseph Miller and W. P. Wainwright. "Slow smoking allows more nicotine to pass in with the smoke," said Dr. Miller. "Combustion is greater in cigarettes than in cigars, therefore less nicotine passes in with the smoke. It is greater with a thin cigar than a fat one." Pigeons Come Back. Johns, Ala.—John Granger of North Johns had quite a unique experience with some Belgian pigeons that were given him by a friend in Chicago some time ago. He had them in his pigeon yard at North Johns, and in some way two of them escaped. In a few days he had a friend in Chicago that his two pigeons were there. Mr. Granger ordered them sent back by express, and the pigeons have arrived safely. Defective Page And a Mountain Peak to the Government Left by A. Battell Middlebury, LT-A tract of more than 20,000 acres for forest land in this state is bequeathed to Middlebury college, to be preserved as a forest park forever, under the will of the late Joseph H. Battell. Mr. Battell, who was publisher of the Middlebury Register, was greatly interested in forest preservation and had been acquiring virgin timber lands for more than forty years. A mountain in Lincoln and Warren, one of the highest peaks in the state, is given to the United States government. The town of Middlebury receives two large tracts of land for park purposes and a fund of $9,900 for park maintenance. The lands bequeathed to the college lie along the crest of the Green mountains and extend into three counties and eight townships. In addition the college will receive as a residuary bequest, at the expiration of a ten years' trust, the Battell block, a large business structure in the village; the Middlebury Register and a number of farms. LIVED FOUR YEARS AS A MAN. Death of Massachusetts Woman Reveals Her Long Maugerade. Springfield, Mass.—The death of Miss Florentine Albertine Beaudon, whose body was found in Williamstett, revealed that she had lived disguised as a man for four years. She lived with her sister as "Albert Beaudon" and worked in the paper mills of Holyoke. The only motive suggested for her long masquerade is that she could earn more as a man for the support of herself and her sister, who is a widow. Her death was due to heart trouble. After her day's work in Holyoke she was loading a wagon with furniture from the house which she occupied with her sister. A policeman found her and asked the wagon and asked she suppressed "Albert Beaudon" if he needed any help. The policeman implied that she would be all right in a little while. Later she was found lying by the wagon, and she died soon after a physician arrived. Twins Send Letter to President, Who Promptly Repiles. Washington.—An exchange of letters between President Wilson and two little Belgians in Brussels, in which the children thanked the president for food sent by Americans and the president expressed his appreciation of their gratitude, has been made known at the White House. The children, twins, nine years old, wrote: Dear Mr. Wilson—Thank you very much for the good bread. The poor people in the country have nothing to eat, but now that you have sent over to our dear little country a big provision of wheat, both rich and poor can live—and wishes of these Americans. Best love and wishes from little PUSSY DEOSELBER Pussy's brother added, "I join in with my sister in thanking you, too, for it is jolly good bread, enough to satisfy any schoolboy's hunger." In reply the president sent this letter in his own handwriting: My Dear Little Friends—Your letter touched me very deeply, and I thank you for your kindness and happiness to think that what generous Americans have done to relieve the hunger and distress in your country has brought you the help you needed and given you the opportunity to experience terrible days of war. I hope that you will grow up to be strong to do the work that will have to be done in the days of war. I hope that you will have a great pleasure to me if some day I might see you both when those happier times have come. Your sincere friend, SLIPPERS FOR HIS BURIAL.

Stelmets, consulting engineer of the General Electric company; Dr. Richard H. president of the Massachusetts Inventors Charles A. Coffin, chairman of the board of directors of the General Electric company. Percy Mackaye read a poem written for the occasion. OREGON MEN NOT "FRESH." Women "Hiked" It Alone, Unarmed and Unmolested. Eugene, Ore. — Five Eugene young women have just finished a "hike" of sixty miles along the Oregon coast unarmed and unafraid of stories of bears them at virtually every place they stop to admire their beauty almost twenty pounds and took their chances at finding shelter each night. They proudly boast that not one man "got fresh" and that it would be quite possible for a woman to walk all over Oregon alone without being molested. The "hikers" was Miss Friederia Goldman, Miss Harriett Thompson, Dr. Barbeth Cox, Miss Mary Perkins and Miss Myrha Hephurn. Four are members of the University of Oregon faculty. CHEMISTRY ABOLISHES WORK WITH THE HOE Washington.-Officials of the department of agriculture are greatly interested in reports received from Hawaii, to the effect that one of the big sugar companies has adopted as a regular field practice the system of destroying spray instated use of an arsenic poison spray instead of by using experts who have conducted experiments on Hawaii sugar lands estimate that by the spraying method a saving can be made in labor of $15 to $30 per acre per annum. The latest developments along this line in Hawaii are discussed in a letter received from Professor H. P. Age, director of the station staff staff, of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. Before going to Hawaii Professor Agee co-operated with the department in experiments on Louisiana sugar land. The value of this method in Hawaii is very great, because of the fact that, like most tropical regions, the islands are subject to torrential rains. The less the surface of sugar and other lands is disturbed by cultivation the rain will wash off the soil or immediately beat it into compact form. A few years ago the department of agriculture issued a bulletin dealing with the weed factor in the cultivation of corn, following a series of experiments extending over several years, which apparently established the principle that it is the removal of the weed rather than the cultivation proper that contributes to the production of the corn crop. A series of 125 experiments were conducted, covering many states. On some plots the most approved methods of cultivation were employed, while on other plots there was no cultivation whatever, the weeds being eliminated by surface scraping with a hoe. A general average of all these experiments showed that the plots that were simply weeded produced 95.1 per cent as much fodder and 99.108 per cent as much grain as those that were subjected to the most approved methods of cultivation. The arsenic spray method will be given a trial on corn land in Louisiana this year by experts of the office of farm management in co-operation with local authorities, with a view to de-terrorize the weed. It will be used in that region, where climatic conditions to some extent approach those in Hawaii. SKINS WAY TO DEGREE. Student Paye Expenses by Trapping Muskrats. Beloit, Wis.—A student at Beloit it literally skimming his way through college. He is Edwin M. Dahlberg of Cherry Valley, ill, a senior, and he has earned a large portion of his college education. He marches on the Rock river, near this city. Dahlberg began to emulate Daniel Boone last fall. He set a string of traps along the river above the city. Every morning he would visit them starting out in his canoe at 5 o'clock. Drifting downstream, he would skin his catches on the way back to Beloit. He is now a men's dormitory, with sometimes were upholstered by several hundred skins at a time. $2.40 PER YEAR. Extreme Range of a Torpedo is 4,000 yards, but at 1,000 yards It is Much More Effective—Varies In Length From Fourteen to Nineteen Feet and Has Machinery For Guidance. New York.—The German torpedo or torpedoes that destroyed the Lustania were fired at a range of not more than 1,000 yards, and the torpedoes themselves probably traveled at a speed in excess of forty knots. The submarine or submarines from which the weapons were discharged were submerged not more than fifteen feet, and they had plenty of time to get the exact range before the torpedoes were discharged. Furthermore, the torpedoes were of the most modern and powerful type and of the highest possible speed. That is the opinion of many of the American officers, all of whom have closely followed the German submarine activities since the underwater war was started by the Germans several months ago. The extreme range of a torpedo, it was explained by these officers, is about 4,000 yards, but the evidence to be had indicates that all the German submarine work is being done at short range, perhaps less than 1,000 yards. At the lesser range the speed of the torpedo is greater and at the same 4,000 yard range the speed of a modern torpedo should be between twenty-seven and thirty knots, at 3,000 yards about thirty-two knots and at 2,000 yards between thirty-three and thirty-sk knots. At lesser ranges the speed may vary from thirty-five to forty knots. One of the American officers stated that in Charles W. Donville-Fife's book, entitled "Submarine Engineering of Today," there is a chapter on "The Life of a Torpedo," which describes in understandable language and in a direct way these terrible missiles of war. The first class battleship takes the best part of three years to build and may cost anything from $5,000,000 upward, the author writes. "This ponderous ship of war can be sent to the bottom of the sea in but a few minutes if struck by a torpedo. "The modern torpedo varies in length from fourteen to nineteen feet and weighs about 100 pounds. It has an extreme range of 4,000 yards, or 'war head,' as it is called, to the business end of the torpedo and contains the dry and wet guncotton and the fulminate of mercury necessary for the explosion. Behind the explosive head is the air chamber to hold the compressed air by which motive power is furnished. Then we come to the search chamber or 'brain' of the torpedo, which most marvelous mechanism for driving and controlling the machine. Next comes the engine room and, at the tail of the torpedo, the buoyancy chamber. "Every one of these little peculiarities indulged in by the torpedo is noted in the history sheet and referred to before the weapon is again fired. By this means all the slight defects can be allowed for and a much more accurate aim obtained. It is the duty of the torpedo leuteman to make up all the 'history sheets' on a vessel, and he may be almost looked upon as a schoolmaster with a manage. Sometimes, but not often, a torpedo is lost. Perhaps days afterwards the trunts turn up, either washed another or towed in by some fishermen after having torn their nets to pieces. "A small chamber in the torpedo compressed air. This helps to shit it to the required depth after it has entered the water. This air, escaping from the chamber by means of a regulating valve, drives the engine at a high rate of speed, which is almost uniform throughout the trip from the tube to the target. The engines turn two screw propellers at the tail of the torpedo. These revolve on the same axis, but in opposite direction, the object being to give stability to the weapon. "The steering is effected by vertical rulers, which keep the torpedo in the required depth in the water—usually from fourteen feet—is maintained by horizontal rudders. The torpedo is kept submerged by means of the balance chamber and is controlled in its steering by the wonderful instrument known as the gyroscope. "So marvelous is its mechanism that in favorable circumstances a torpedo well aimed may be depended upon to strike within a yard or two of the spot aimed at. Briefly described, the gyroscope a notching wheel which automatically converts the motion of firing a torpedo to very much like that of discharging a gun. It is expelled from a torpedo tube by compressed air. Upon reaching the water the torpedo is driven by its screws in the required direction. The missile is guided by a very ingenious invention called a "torpedo director," which is an instrument fitted with 'sights' like a watch. The sights are aligned on the enemy the officer in charge presses a key, and electricity causes the discharge." MEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

Open to Everyone, Whether Patrons of the Offices, or Not. Postmaster General Burleson has issued a circular stating that every person in the United States ten years old or over may open an account in a postal savings bank after July 1st. One does not have to live where the postoffice is but may open an account by mail. Total savings receipts have broken all previous records the past year. During the eight months prior to April 1st there was a net gain in deposits of $19,000,000. The St. Paul bank was organized Sept. 1, 1911, and up to the present time has received in deposits $2,505,086. During this same period the withdrawals have amounted to $1,760,890, leaving a credit to the depositors May 1st, of $744,196. Interest to the amount of $15,618.50 has already been paid to depositors and $97,580 worth of United States government bonds purchased. The St. Paul Bank has 5,093 open accounts subject to withdrawal, with accrued interest at a moment's notice. Our institution is ranked among the four highest in the country in amount of deposits and the depositors are of various types.

A. V. Hall. GOVERNOR HAMMOND. Addresses the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The St. Paul Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a splendid meeting on last Tuesday at Plymouth Congregational Church. The principal address was made by Governor W. S. Hammond, the burden of which was that the laws of the United States were made for all the citizens. Not for the rich nor the poor, for the whites or the blacks, for the Protestant or the Catholic, but for all. Governor Hammond was introduced by Rev. H. P. Jones in his usual eloquent manner. Women made a report of the action of the committee of the Association on the recent movie entitled "The New Governor," based on the book by Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon, "The Clansman." In the absence of the president, Lieutenant Governor J. A. A. Burnquist, Dr. V. D. Turner, head of the executive committee, presided. Rev. V. D. Turner, rector St. Philips' Episcopal church, held from Pilgrim Baptist church. A vocal solo was contributed by Mrs. Hattie Loomis Oliver. SOME REAL ESTATE SNAPS.
