Wisconsin Weekly Blade

The Wisconsin Weekly Blade Official Organ of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth. Illinois and Wisconsin Jurisdiction. 7,000 Members VOL. I FOREIGN NEWS THE PEMBROKE LITERARY ASSOCIATION First Public Session Special to the Blade. That the organization of the Pembroke Literary Association, formed only three weeks ago has met a long felt need, was fully emphasized on Wednesday evening, July 26th, when the Association made its debut at G. U. O. of O. F. Hall, Hamilton (kindly loaned for the occasion). The energetic President, Mr. Lefroy Jones, in his opening remarks stated that the evening's gathering had been held for a two-fold purpose, namely, the introduction of the Association to the public; and to honor the Rev. C. C. Corbin. He then briefly outlined the objects of the Institution which are primarily for the promotion of those qualities which make for the social and moral betterment of our young men and women; the reading of good literature, the study of music, elocution, etc., to unearth the talent that lies dormant in our midst. An interesting program followed which may well be said to have contained the cream of Bermuda's talents. Miss Catherine Dillas in a solo entitled, "Somewhere a voice is calling me" charmed her audience. Next followed an instrumental number by Mr. Stuart Williams—"The Burning of Rome"—whose rendition of E. T. Paull's masterpiece proved him to be a player of great ability. Next came a solo, "I hear you calling me" by Miss Claudine Eve, an appropriate answer to that of Miss Dillas. Mr. Fred Richardson, the well-known vocalist, in a bass solo, "The Mighty Deep" was well received and applauded. "Thora" was rendered in brilliant style by Mrs. Amy Perinchief, and she also showed her skill in Chaminade's "Air de Ballet." Mrs. George Dacosta excelled in a solo, "The Carnival." A selection, Dumand's "False" by Mrs Myra Robinson was well received. Mr. Thad Robinson in a baritone solo "Farewell in the Desert" delighted his hearers. Miss Minnie Darrell acted as accompanist. Special mention must be made of Miss Wenona Robinson, Bermudas' foremost Elocutionist, whose rendition of "Cecily and the Bears," with "The Gobblins will catch you" as an encore, added to her many laurels. That the Rev. Mr. Corbin is held in high esteem was evident by the great ovation he received on rising to deliver his address. Thanking the audience for their kindly welcome, he stated that Bermuda had a reputation abroad for her hospitality to strangers, but he could testify of her hospitality to one of her sons. His impressive and eloquent discourse on "Character Building" will long be remembered by all who were present. The Rev. Mr. Gomez of Bethel, Crawl, delivered an inspiring address on "A New Patriotism". Miss A. Burgess brought greetings from the St. George's Lyceum. The other speakers were Mrs. Rachel Darrell, Mr. W. F. Wilson and Mr. G. A. Dacosta, on whose influential remarks space will not permit comment, but many laid stress on the fact that the presence in Bermuda of Rev. Mr. Corbin, ought to be an incentive to every boy to higher ideals; he also assured the Association of their heartiest sympathy and co-operation. Refreshments were served and the evening's performance was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem. The President and members are to be highly congratulated on their first appearance. THE AGE LIMIT (To the Blade.) Some people never think when they are young that there will come a time when they will grow old, and feeble. Some people think that they will stay young, forever, but they are mistaken. Some people that are no benefit to them to join some Lodge or Society, that will benefit them in life and their relatives in death. Some people say "What is the use of me joining all these things to benefit someone else?" I'll live until I die anyway. That is the thought of thousands of people but that is the wrong thing. My advice to all men is to prepare to die and prepare for A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION your loved ones that you will leave behind. When you are old no one wants you if you have not taken advantage of your early life. You will be on the mercies of the world. On the other hand if you are careful when you are young, when the age limit grows upon you you will be prepared to meet it and be fully able to take care of yourself to the end. Chicago, Ill.

George Regoveri, cellist in the orchestra at the hotel, while motoring noticed a hobo pick a piece of bread from the ground where a picnic had been held several days ago. Regoveri took the man in his car and carried him back to the hotel. In the servants' quarters he was bathed, given a new suit of clothing and a meal. Later he started on his way to New York. He had been gone only a short time when he returned hastily, crying that his savings of a lifetime were sewed in the old vest, which he had discarded and which the management of the hotel had ordered consigned to the furnace. A hasty search was made and the money was found, as Colombo said. WILSON GIVES WIDOW A JOB Husband Slain on Duty, Woman Ex- empt Form P.O. Formation empt From P. O. Examination.

NO.14 J. J. HILL GUESSED WRONG. Railroader Predicted That St. Paul Would Never Amount to Much St. Paul.—There are few men who can challenge successfully the fore-sight of the late James J. Hill, but Captain Jerry Turner of Lansing, Ia., who visited St. Paul for the first time in fifty two years the other day, is one of them. Captain Turner relates how he overheard Mr. Hill make the assertion that St. Paul never would remain long as the head of navigation on the upper Mississippi, and that was more than a half century ago. "I was then plying the upper Mississippi on the steamer City Belle," Captain Turner said. "Mr. Hill, who at that time was clerking on the wharf, was aboard the boat discussing prospects with the captain. "Wacouta is the logical head of navigation on the Mississippi," Mr. Hill said. "St. Paul cannot long retain the distinction for this reason. Just as soon as the farm lands on the upper Mississippi are well under cultivation the upper channel is bound to fill up, and boats of any consequence will be unable to ply that far north." BOY TO GET A MILLION. Youngster's Fortune Will Accumulate For Nineteen Years. Greenwich, Conn.—William J. Smith Cary, the two-year-old son of Thomas F.

YOUNG INDIAN JOINS THE NAVY Father Brought Son From Tablequah, Okla., to Enlist In Service.

San Francisco.—"Store teeth" are just as good as those furnished by nature in the eyes of the state industrial accident commission. A San Francisco plumber was struck by a piece of pipe he was repairing, with the result that three teeth, two false, were knocked out. His employer was willing to pay for the dental work necessary to fill the void left by the natural teeth, but balked in the case of the others. The commission has ruled that he also must pay for replacing the man made pair. BURIED $6.000 OF PENSION. Cal Evans' Hoard Plowed Up on His Farm at Magazine, Ark.

This year 1916 for Colored Americans is historically critical. It marks the accountability year of the first Southern president since freedom, and the half-century since the passage of Congress of the Civil Rights Bill and of the 14th Amendment creating their Citizenship. For some years we have been losing on rights of citizenship, in law or practice, South and North, an ominous sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of Colored Americans, itself, what is its historical record? HOW RECORD OF RACE CAN BE SAVED. Religious, fraternal, charity, business organization, local organizations for rights or national by the philanthropic aid of noble friends, are all most excellent, but not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each Colored Community. Have it understood that these committees are for co-operation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no selffight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great Opportunity comes Now. Every Colored Community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once, and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D.C. in one months' time by the National Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause but in not enough places. Through the Congress or league these Equal Rights Committees—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress. Thus without any interference with existing agencies our race can save its own historical record and by self-help and spirit retain a valid claim before mankind to Equality of Rights. Act now, Colored America. OUR FUTURE What is to become of the Negro as an American citizen in the future is the question still discussed by friend and foe alike. There are those who are optimistic and believe that the many draw-backs and discriminations against him will ultimately disappear and become a relic of forgotten issues. There are others who are pessimistic, who hold hope for him in the future. They argue that in proportion as to the Negro increase in intelligence, wealth and character, in that same proportion is the opposition increased and a stronger disposition on the part of his enemies to crush him, and consequently he must ultimately become a serf or be driven to the wall. The Blade does not wholly agree with either of these opinions, but takes a middle ground as our contention. We admit that his path is not strewn with flowers and that he must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling, but there is no doubt in the mind of The Blade that the Negro will deliver the goods. From The Blade's point of view the Negro has made a good showing. He has demonstrated his capacity to absorb and assimilate the American civilization in a marvelous way. He has made a progress unparalleled in history for so short a time, for fifty years ago he was a chattel, a mere thing in the eyes of the law. Today he is a man and a citizen, having by sheer intelligence and shift reduced his illiteracy to 33 per cent, which means that out of a total of one hundred only thirty-three are unable to read and write. This is no mean showing. If the Negro has done this in fifty years, think what he will do in fifty more and in fifty more. In reviewing the progress the Negro has made in the past in so short a time only his bitterest enemies would not concede to him the probability as well as the possibility of a great frute.

LIKELY TO HOLD POPULARITY Average Number of Days Sneezers Sneeze Is Forty-two. Number of Sneezers Sneezers Sneezer Each Day Is Seventy-three—Now, Victims, Go Through Your Ordeal. New York.—The annual report of the United States Hay Fever association—the official organization of the 200,000 summer sneezers in this country—was made public recently. Very few copies of this report are distributed, it is said, and hay feveres never read it, for the stories of ragweed and golden pollen will double a confirmed sneezer into a "kerchoo!" five weeks ahead of schedule. Bethlehem, N. H., up in the White mountains, has been chosen as the Photo by American Press Association. HAY FEVERITE HAVING HIS TROUBLES. Photo by American Press Association. HAY FEVERE HAVING HIS TROUBLES. Mecca of immunity for the annual convention of the pollinosis patients. In New York, since time immemorial, Aug. 15 has been the official day for the opening of the open season for sneezes. The red noses and weeping eyes will arrive right on time this year, according to P. F. Jerome, chairman of the board of directors of the Hay Fever association and custodian, during eleven months of the year, of all the sneezes of the nation. Mr. Jerome says that hay fever promises to retain its popularity this year, despite the drive of appendicitis as the ailment of the aristocracy. That there are 25,000 sneezers in New York state is stated in the annual report. The report adds that the average number of days that sneezers sneeze is forty-two each year; that the average number of sneezes sneezers sneeze each day is seventy-three. This makes a grand total of 75,655,000 sneezers a year in New York. Rockies in the ranks of the hay feverites point with pride to these figures. STRAY DOG KEEPS VIGIL In Five Years Has Never Deserted Grave In Ohio Cemetery. Fultonham, O.—In the cemetery here a homeless cur mourns on the grave of George Baker. They call her "the graveyard dog." Five years ago the dog came to the cemetery following the funeral procession of Baker, an aged farmer, who died at his home, near here. Every night the dog keeps a close vigil over the grave. It sleeps for hours at a stretch during the day on the little mound that marks Baker's resting place. Villagers long ago gave up hope of coaxing the dog away from there. She leaves the cemetery only long enough each day to search for food. Friends of Baker say be never owned the dog. Cemetery trustees refuse to drive it away, and she seems likely to spend the rest of her life in this strange manner. RULER "ON TRUST" RULER "ON TRUST" Argentina's President to Be Had No Platform. KNOWN ONLY AS A RADICAL Hipolito Irigoyen Overthrew the Conservatives and Will Make His Pledges as He Goes—No One Can Guess What He Intends to Do. Buenos Alres.—When Hipolito Irigoyen takes the oath of office Oct. 12 as president of Argentina his country will start on one of the biggest experiments ever undertaken by a republic. Dr. Irigoyen will head the first Radical administration in Argentina. What the doctor's ideal of "radicalism" is nobody knows. He has made no speeches. He has written almost nothing. He has never defined his position. What he intends to do as president not one of his countrymen can guess. Nobody knows whether he is pan-American. The Radical party was organized in Argentina to fight for fair elections. It has never had any other platform. "We have ideals," leading members of the party say, "but no program." There were even reports that Dr. Irigoyen will issue a manifesto soon dissolving the party itself now that an honest ballot, as he is said to believe, has been guaranteed. This; however, is mere surmise. The doctor was elected president because a majority of the voters trusted him, personally, implicitly and blindly. Those who believe in him consider him Argentina's greatest man. His opponents regard him as extremely dangerous and look forward to his administration with the gravest misgivings. Dr. Irigoyen is about sixty, a tall, powerfully built, imposing man and very dark. His blood is Spanish Basque, with a slight Indian strain, some say. The new president began life poor. He is self educated and a highly cultivated man. He is now rich, the result of land transactions. By occupation he is a ranchman on a huge scale, with a very modest residence in Buenos Aires. From the moment of his election he secluded himself in his town house. No politicians were admitted. He received no office seekers. He refused to make any promises. He has listened to no suggestions. His house is without a telephone, and he has answered no letters. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, a visitor in Argentina, was one of those who wanted to see him. Irigoyen sent out word that he was ill. MADE 172,000,000,000 STAMPS DID RIGHT TO SPANK WIFE Magistrate Gives Husband Liberty When He Hears Story. New York.—There is no great harm in a husband spanking his wife when she slaps his face because he wanted to caress her, in the opinion of Magistrate Steers of Brooklyn. He discharged Charles Becker, charged by his wife with assault, after hearing the story. Mrs. Katherine Becker told the magistrate that after an argument Becker spanked her. Becker admitted he had done so, but he said when he wanted to caress his wife she drew away and slapped him across the face. Whereupon he put her over his knees and spanked her. LOST BOY UNDER BED Two-year-old Finally Found Asleep at Home After Long Search. Marysville, O. William Reed, two-year-old son of Edward Reed, took his baby sister's bottle of milk and crawled under the bed to drink it. He fell asleep. Later the parents, missing him, get the neighborhood out to search for the boy. Several motorcars went out hunting him. Three hours later he was found snoozing soundly under the bed. Tradition Turned Topsy Turvy. Stevens Point, Wis.—Keep on the Grass" is the unusual sign to be seen in front of two Stevens Point residences. It sounds a little like turning tradition topsy turvy, but the explanation is simple. The streets were given a thick coating of oil and pedestrians tracked it wherever they went. Two property owners did not wish their new concrete walks mussed, so fenced them off and tacked up signs. Lake Emptied For Ring: Kansas City, Mo. - A lake in a city park here was drained of more than 500,000 gallons of water the other day to recover a wedding ring lost there by Mrs. Hugh Foster. Several days ago while skipping stones across the surface of the water she lost her ring off her finger. What Housewives Apple Recipes Fried Apples.—Use good cooking apples, not peeled, but cored and sliced, one and one-half quarts; one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of granulated sugar. Put the butter in the skillet, and when it has melted put in the apples and sugar. Cover closely and stir often to keep from burning. When they are done they will have a rich, thick, delicious stirup on them. Serve while hot. Apple Jelly.—One peck of Malden Blush, Belflower or Baldwins—these are good jelly apples. Do not peel, but cut in quarters and carefully remove the cores. Place in a granite kettle and barely cover with water. Cook until soft, pour into a jelly bag and drain, but do not squeeze if you wish a clear jelly. To one cupful of this juice take one-half cupful of granulated sugar and a piece of alum the size of a navy bean. Let boil until it jellies, then pour into glasses. Sweet Apples and Cider.—One peck of sweet apples, peeled, cut in half and cores scooped out. Put in a granite kettle, cover well with elder made from sour apples. Tie a small piece of stick cinnamon in a cloth and place in the kettle. Boll until a rich red color. Can in glass jars. You do not need sugar in this recipe. Mint Apple Jelly.—Wash the apples, but do not peel. Cut in quarters and cover with water; boll twenty minutes and strain through jelly bag. Take two cupfuls of juice to one cupful of sugar; boil ten minutes, or until it jellies. Put in a sprig of mint just before it is done, stir it around, then take it out. It gives the right flavor. Apple Salad.—Cut equal parts of apples and celery in small cubes or pieces, one cupful of English walnuts. Mix all together and moisten with boiled salad dressing. Serve on lettuce leaves. Teach Children How to Play That mothers should not only take an interest in the play of their children, but should participate in their games and other childish pastimes, is the ophion of Mary Pierce Van Zile, dean of the division of home economics in the Kansas State Agricultural college. The mother is more likely to be in sympathy with the troubles of a child than his joys. She too often considers it a waste of time to enter into his play, yet if he is hurt she will stop anything she is doing and comfort him. Her interest in his play will double his delight in it. Freedom and sympathy are not enough. The child needs right materials in order that his play may be of the greatest value to him. Expensive toys are neither essential nor desirable. The best are those that are common to him and the rest of the world. Some of the available materials are earth-air and water. Children derive profitable enjoyment through playing in sand, mud and clay. In the use of tools for digging they are unconsciously developing manual skill that will serve them in later life. The chief thing for a parent to recognize is that a child must have companions. A fundamental need in child nature is social intercourse. This is noted from babyhood. The child is content if in the presence of people, but will rebel at being left alone.

It does not contain mineral oils or poisonous drugs; in fact, it is the only pomade on the market today that we know of that does not contain mineral oils, such as vaseline or petroleum. You can use Ford's Hair Pomade with perfect safety. They guarantee that it contains nothing injurious to the hair or scalp. Ford's Hair Straightener is their own patented article for straightening the hair. This is a high-class article made very substantial and is operated along new lines, rolling the hair straight instead of pinching or pulling it like one is compelled to do with the old-style straighteners. The various lines of Ford's Hair Straightening and Shampoo Combs speak for themselves. See the cuts and read the description elsewhere in this paper. Every article is guaranteed to be exactly as described, and nearly all are their exclusive patents and are manufactured by them only. Ford's Hair Presser, like their combs and straighteners, is made with great care and with the aim in view to give the consumer something that will do the work. TWO POPULAR VISITORS Messrs. G. Egbert Scott and Wm. A Smith of Chicago, Ill. The good people of Madison are always pleased to have in their midst persons who stand for the substantial things of life. On last Saturday and Sunday Messrs. Scott and Smith were in Madison. They are young men of means, popular, and unassuming, possessing that force called magnetism which draws rather than expels. We stand ready at any and all times to welcome such persons. MISS ROBERTA ECHOLS. Chicago, Ill. The social life in Madison welcomes this accomplished young lady in their midst. Miss Echols comes to join Miss Myrtle D. Smith and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. Anthony Josey.

They left Madison last Friday reluctantly and to the regret of their many acquaintances. Mrs. Scruggs promised to help circulate The Blade in and around her city. Return at any time Mr. Weatherbs and Ladies, call again. LOCALS. Mr. Wm. Hickman is spending the week in Hayward, Douglas Co., Wis. He is delighted with his touring the State.

Wildcat at the Window Princeton, Ind.-Fred Newsm, reading a book beside an open window in his home, four blocks from the public square, the other night, was startled when he looked up and found a big wildcat with his paws on the window still looking at him. Newsm jumped back and gave the alarm, which resulted in the animal's death at the hands of a band of armed citizens. The wildcat was found to be the property of Thomas Bruce, from whom it had escaped after a captivity of a year. Finds White Blue Jay Junction City, Kan.—An albino blue jay, the first one ever seen here, was found recently in the Presbyterian churchyard by A. W. Davy. The blue jay was half grown and its feathers were perfectly white. Its unusual color had apparently not discredited the albino in the eyes of the patent birds, for it was fat and gave indications of having been well cared for. SAYS FISH CAN REASON Maine Man Says They Warn One An- other of Unavoidable Waters other of Unfavorable Waters. Bangor, Me.-Stephen Decatur Bridges of Verona, near Bangor, who is known as the salmon and alewife king of the Penobscot, is positive not only that fish have brains, but that fish reason and form dislikes and likes and tell their opinions to each other. Bridges explains the disappearance of salmon from the Penobscot in two ways. Either "salmon tell other salmon how dirty its waters are and how it is not fit for any respectable salmon to live in" or "the fish resent it because at the hatchery in East Orlan" they are taken from the water and stripped of their eggs. "The fish resent that because it is against nature." Mr. Bridges asserts. "They decide they are not being treated right and stay away."

TRAMP TELLS OF A REAL BARBEGUE Cow Train Struck Was Skinned, Drawn and Quartered Before She Was Cold. Troy, Kan.—The tramps have begun to arrive here in anticipation of the berry picking season around Troy, Blair and Wathena. There is always an overflow of strangers in Troy during the berry season, and these homeless and transient laborers are usually the first arrivals. Last year they arrived a little ahead of schedule, and a week's steady rainfall after their arrival threw them on the county's hands. A beaurny was maintained by citizens where stew, coffee and bread were supplied the chilly and hungry vagrants. Two werry wanderers, one of whom evidently weathered last year's bread line, sat in reminiscence on the depot platform the other day and gave vent to the following: "Say, bo, me stomach's demandin' recognition." "Mine, too, and nothin' in sight like last year." "What ya mean—last year?" asked bleary eyed No. 2. "Why, last year," went on his companion in explanation, "a dozen or so of us were sitting here shaking and shivering with the damp and hungry to boot when the train come along and struck a cow. Talk about barbecues, bo; we had one. We had that cow drawn, quartered and cooked before she was cold. Them wuz the days," he finished. HIS HONEYMOON HALTED. Returns to New York From Far Northwest to Answer Call to Arms. "Major, I'm ready to report for duty," said a tanned and almost breathless youth who dashed into the armory in New York. "I had some time getting here, but I'm on the job." The young man was Felix Mandell, a private. He married three weeks previously and went to the Canadian northwest to spend his honeymoon. He learned from a guide that trouble with Mexico was expected, and he sent a messenger to the nearest point of civilization to ask his mother about it by wire. Mrs. Mandell replied informing him of the mobilization order. It cost her $30 to get her dispatch to him by runners. The young chap immediately upon receipt of the news started for civilization and traveled day and night until he reached New York. He sped from the railroad station to the armory. Many Bryan Likenesses Even among the militarists William J. Bryan must have a considerable following at Liano Grande. Anyhow, a great number of officers and men seem to take care to look as much like him as possible, and some of the likenesses are striking. The Third Minnesota infantry, rather better off in equipment than the Nebraska and Indiana infantry regiments, arrived late one afternoon and went into camp in the mud wallow. As a class they are tall and fair, and the roster naturally runs strongly to Jensens. To the north when the country is dried out and practice marches are possible the men of that camp will come upon two heaps of bleaching bones, a reminder of the strenuous happenings that Lano Grande and Mercedes knew last year. The bones and a few spreads of cloth no longer identifiable as Carranzista uniforms are all that is left of seventeen Mexicans who crossed the river on a raid and met a posse. Married by Mail Before the departure of the troops to the border Private Louis Bansemer, Company H, First regiment, New Jersey national guard, was deeply in love with Miss Ethel Maud Sergent. Both live in Newark. When the guard was sent away this young couple decided at once to have announcement of their engagement made public. This was done. Fearful best the worst should happen to Private Bansemer, who worked for the Prudential Life Insurance company, and desirous of being married ```markdown ``` MAN AND FISH COLLIDE; BOTH HEADS DENTED Ambulance Takes Them to the Hospital Togther. Ridgway, Pa.—Patrick Deering was carried in an ambulance to a hospital recently, while by his side lay the cause of his troubles, the biggest trout ever seen in this vicinity. Pat was in sore need of treatment for a dent in his head, while his companion in distress, the trout, was to be treated as food for the hospital patients. Patrick while diving in Laurel mill pool collided with the big trout. The fish, stunned by the blow, immediately rose to the surface and was captured by other swimmers. Pat, sorely hurt, was pulled from the water. Gives Skin to Save Wife Gives Skin to Save Wife. Tulsa, Okla. To save the life of his wife who was believed to be fatally injured by a gasoline explosion at her home in this city recently, H. L. De Witt submitted to the removal of 160 square inches of cuticle which was at once grafted on the wounds of his wife, who is in a hospital. The grafting was successful and Mrs. De Witt will recover. Corn Oysters. Six ears of sweet corn well filled out. Slit with a knife and then grate. Add an egg, three tablespoonfuls of milk, a teaspoonful of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of flour to thicken. Have plenty of lard in skillet and drop the batter from a spoon, allowing each "oyster" to fry until brown. Suggestions For the Motorcar Driver A tire pressure gauge is worth its weight in gold to the motorist, as it will save many dollars in the course of a year. Don't guess at the pressure in your tires, but make sure it is right. If there is a small hole in the top do not attempt to sew it up. Your supply dealer has a patching outfit for just such cases. The patches match the top in color and texture and may be used for large or small holes, or even a long tear. Many motorists are content to drive their cars ahead day after day, but do not realize the necessity of learning to back properly. Then when they must back suddenly they hit something. Practice backing until it is as easy to you as driving forward. Some day you will have reason to be thankful for this. When about to coast down a long, steep hill, especially with a heavy car, it is well to put the gears in low speed even though you do not intend to use the engine as a brake. It will give you an added sense of security, for if anything should happen to the brakes you have your motor to fall back on, and you will not have to take chances in not being able to mesh the gears.

Snapshots at the Sports Arena Snapshots at the Sports Arena Daubert of Brooklyn Manager Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn baseball club says that much of the credit for the team's fine showing belongs to Jake Daubert, the hard hitting first baseman. Quoth Robinson: "I have seen a number of first sackers in my day, but never saw the equal C Photo by American Press Association of the man who holds down first sack for the Superbas. Daubert can do anything and do it well. Talk about Hal Chase in his best days! Why, Chase never saw the day that he compared with Daubert, and that is saying some. Chase is an individual star and always has been. Daubert is a team worker. It will be many years before we see his superior, if ever. He is worth $50,000 to the Brooklyn club." Light as Chaff Needed Religious Instruction. The soldiers marched to the church and halted in the square outside. One wing of the edifice was undergoing repairs, so there was room only for about half the regiment. T. "Sergeant," ordered the colonel, "tell the men who don't want to go to church to fall out." A large number quickly availed themselves of the privilege. "Now, sergeant," said the colonel, "dismiss all the men who did not fall out and march the others to church—they need it most." Neglected Advice "Did you hear that Jiggs was killed while traveling in Kentucky?" "No. How was he killed?" "In a feud." "And I always told him not to ride in those cheap cars."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Forgotten Number "Confound it all" cried a business man. "I've forgotten my new telephone number. I didn't write it down because that's an indication of men indication of men." BENZEMAN "What a bout forgetting the number?" said the other man. "Isn't that mental weakness too? Is it the number of your home phone?" "Yes." "Then why not" call up your wife and ask her what it is?" And without the slightest hesitation the forgetful man called up the forget- ten number and asked his amazed wife what it was.

Fielder Jones considers the recent run of fourteen consecutive victories by the St. Louis Browns a more wonderful exploit in some respects than the famous drive that capped nineteen straight and a world's championship for the Chicago White Sox in 1906. "I'll tell you why I think the Browns deserve as much credit for winning fourteen in a row as the Sox for coping nineteen," said Jones the other day. "We won the fourteen by playing all sorts of good baseball behind good but not especially wonderful pitching. You must remember that we have no Ed Walsh either. Walsh was the big figure in the campaign of 1906. The Browns have good pitchers, but none is a Walsh." One of the reasons why Ed Walsh still sticks around with the White Sox nine years after his greatest season, is that Charles Comiskey has a long memory. Walsh won a fortune for Comiskey in 1906. Here is what he accomplished in that business of twenty straight victories: Started and finished seven games, five of which were shutouts; allowed only two runs in the entire seven games; pitched fifty-five consecutive innings without being scored on. Cobb Pays Tribute to Speaker. Ty Cobb has this to say of Tris Speaker's batting: "I have never seen any one hitting the ball better than Speaker is hitting it this year. His smashes in nearly every case are clean, ringing wallops. He is batting with fine confidence, is hitting to all three fields and is hitting all sorts of pitching. From the way he stands at the plate and the confidence with which he steps into a ball you figure that he is almost sure to get a hit each time up. There is a feeling of surprise when he doesn't." Rucker Came Back. The return to form of Nap Rucker of the Brooklyn is the sensation of the season. Last year it looked as though Nap was ready for the scrap heap, due to his shoulder giving out. He was under treatment all winter, but when he started last spring he was "not there," and the fans were ready to go in mourning for their idol. Rucker, however, did not give up the ghost, but kept working on the old salary wing, and today he is fooling them with his famous drop ball as of old. Rations For Laying Hens Buttermilk supplies nutrients likely to be lacking in ordinary poultry feed has a tonic value and is keenly relished by the fowls, points out W. A. Lippincott, professor of poultry husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Whenever the cost is not a prohibitive factor it will be well to include butter milk in the poultry ration. Buttermilk has a desirable effect on the digestive tract, and its medicinal effect is advantageous. It stimulates the appetite. The amount that the birds are able to consume marks the limit of the amount of feed. The grain portion of a laying ration that has been used successfully at the experiment station consists of two parts by weight of wheat, two parts corn and one part oats. The mash is composed of sixty pounds cornmeal sixty pounds shorts, forty pounds meat scrap, thirty pounds wheat bran ten pounds oilmeal, ten pounds mealed alfalfa, one pound salt and all the buttermilk that the hens will drink. Kitchen Kinks All bacon is improved by having boiling water poured over it before frying. Always use very cold water (ice water if possible) when mixing pie crust. Irons will retain their heat twice as long if you use a brick as an iron stand. If you have occasion to wrap up a freshly feed cake stick a few toothpicks into the cake, then wrap it up, and you will find that the toothpicks keep the paper up very nicely, and there is no danger of sticking.

The Time For Best The housewife should never forget the value of a few minutes' rest during her busiest hours. This sounds impossible, but if made a part of each day's schedule it can be accomplished, and its value will be many times that of the work that might be done in the same amount of time. Speed of Belts. For ordinary single or double leather belts a speed of from 4,000 to 4,500 feet per minute is most suitable. With link or chain belts 3,000 to 3,500 feet per minute should not be greatly exceeded.

OBSERVATIONS * It takes a smart man to know when to hold his tongue. * The more conceived the man the harder he tries to enlighten the world. * If you want to impress people with your goodness don't say anything about it. If your life is what it should be it will speak for itself. * There will probably come a time when you are tempted to confide in a bosom friend, but it's poor policy in the majority of cases. If you can't keep a se- cret yourself don't expect some one else to keep it for you. Marshmallow Dainty. Cut half a pound of marshmallows into small pieces.

He would have been drowned if a dove had not broken off a twig and dropped it into the water. "Thank you," said the ant as he shook his wet feet. "I will not forget this." Not long after that a man set a trap for the dove and caught her in it, but just as he was trying to take her in his hands the ant bit his foot. This made the man jump, and the dove flew away. - Old Fable. A. Riddle Answered "Sambo, why are lawyers like fishes?" "I don't nebber meddle wid de subject." "Why, don't you see?

Runover Shoe Heels There are two very good reasons why the heels of shoes should be kept straight. The more important one is that worn heels make it impossible to set the feet straight in walking, and in time this will cause a deformity of the feet. The other reason is that one sided heels and the resulting ill shapen shoes detract greatly from the personal appearance. No matter how well dressed one may be in every other particular, if the neatness of the footwear has been neglected the whole effect will be spoiled. Much of the trouble caused by one sided heels and runover shoes could be avoided if more high shoes with well fitted tops were worn. The person with weak ankles should never attempt to wear low shoes, as these greatly aggravate the weakness. High shoes, with buttons set to fit the instep and ankle or properly laced, will support and in time strengthen the ankle. Much can be done to overcome the constant turning of the ankles by remembering to step carefully, holding the feet straight. But the heels of shoes must be kept straight to make this possible. This tendency toward allowing the feet to turn should be watched particularly close in children, and the heels of their shoes should be kept straight, for even with spring heels it is possible to walk on the side of the foot.

Play Corner Game of Trades. For this game two leaders, one the master and the other the workman, choose sides. The workmen then select some trade and tell the first and last letter to the master, such as b-h, blacksmith. The workmen then stand in line and each does something in pantomime appropriate to the trade of the blacksmith. One blows the bellows, another hammers at the anvil, another shoes the horse. The masters are each allowed a guess as to the trade the workmen are representing, and if they are correct the workmen are out and the masters take their place. If none guesses correctly the workmen tell what it was and represent another trade. Beheadings 1. Whole I satisfy; beheaded I am a contrast; beheaded again I am comfort. 2.
