THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE. CLAYTON, GEORGIA. i > k‘ ' !/ £ TO CHRISTEN BIG BATTLESHIP When MIsb Lorena Cruce, daughter of the governor of Oklahoma, chris tens the new United States battleship Oklahoma next March, the most truly American warship will be launched— the Indian of the navy. Miss Cruce, herself part Indian, will be surrounded by the representatives of 40 tribes of red men of the forty- sixth state. And if the request of Oklahoma is complied with, and the vessel is manned largely by Oklaho mans now In the navy, a strong vein of Indian blood lyould be found in the crew’s personnel. A majority of the Indians to be pres ent at the launching will come from the Five Civilized Tribes, but Miss Cruce insists that all other branches of aborigines shall have delegates at the launching. They are expected to appear in native dress, and the scene will be the most unique in the navy’s history if her plans prevail. Robert L. Owen, United States sen ator, and his daughter will represent the Cherokee strain, and Congressman Charlos D. Carter the Choctaw branch of the five civilized groups of the In dian Nation, whose emblems is a five-pointed star surrounding the seal of Oklahoma will be the most conspicuous design to be engraved upon the *7 ,500 silver service which the state will present to the battleship. Miss Cruce, whose mother is dead, and who is the constant companion and chum of her father, is the granddaughter of a gallant pioneer, Capt. Le Flore. Her mother was one of twins whose names were Chlckio and Chockie because of the commingling of Chickasaw and Choctaw blood. Mrs. Cruce was Chlckio Le Fore. The daughter, seventeen years old, Is a graduate of the Oklahoma State Normal school, and the Ardmore high school. She is a student of languages in the University of Oklahoma and a leader of society in the circles of her age in the capital. She has traveled extensively and, though a girl in years and appearance, she is a woman in Intellect and accomplishments. Raouf Hussein Iley, captain of the glorious ’’Hamldie," is advertising for some one who will take off his shoul ders the burden of being a hero. A year’s experience has proved that be ing a hero is tiresome. Raouf can tolerate his popularity, the display of his photographs, the flicker of his moving picture face and his prospects of becoming admiral and marine min ister. But against this stands the fuct that when you become a hero in Tur key influential people insist on marry ing you to a princess. Raouf resentB this. Though a Turk, he is more Eu ropean than Europe itself, and he much prefers the European system under which pretty girls who want to marry heroes send along their photo graphs. In Turkey they do not get their photographs taken. The sultan merely commands the hero to marry a princess of the ancient, mighty and terrible House of Othman, without even knowing what she’s like. Captain Raouf Hussein is a dark-eyed, thick-nosed, handsome, well-set-up Turk forty years old. He served in the British navy, speaks perfect English, has tasted whisky and soda, and in every other respect is a civilized man. It was Raouf who went to Germany to buy the battleships Welssenburg and Kurfurst Friedrich IVVilhelm, which, renamed Messudie and Barbarossa Halredden, did Turkey such signal service in the war. BURDEN OF BEING A HERO K LAMARS MOVE TO CAPITAL Lamar is a familiar name in the social annals of the national capital, and, glancing through its written pages, it seems a rare occurrence when a representative of the family has not figured.. Certainly not for the past 20 or 30 years. Judge William Bailey Lamar and his attractive young wife are welcome additions to the circle composed of former officials for whom the lure of the city is irre sistible. They were here for six years, beginning with the Fifty-eighth con gress, when the Judge, then serving as attorney general of his state, was sent to the lower house. After serving in the Sixtieth congress, Judge Lamar be came affiliated with large legal inter ests in Atlanta, Ga., and resided there until two years ago, when he and Mrs. Lamar returned to Washington, which will hereafter be their winter home. "Fads are something I never had leisure to cultivate,” said Mrs. Lamar. “One of my delights relates to all that pertains to a home. We recently erected near Atlanta, Ga., a home the thouf&t of which will always give my heart a pang, for it seeni3 now that It will never be our joy to live there.” GENEVIEVE CLARK, CAPITAL DEBUTANTE Quite in keeping with the quaint flounces and furbelows, the “garden slippers,” the girlish bonnets and the nosegays of simple blossoms which It is the fashion of the moment for the debutante In the national capital to carry are the old-fashioned which they are keeping this season Speaker Clark's daughter, Genevieve, was among the most prominent of this season’s "buds.” When once an Invitation to a debu tante's dance bore the legend "ten” or “half-past ten o’clock,” today the cards read "nine o’clock," which means that supper will be served at midnight and that by two o’clock the debutante's first dance will be a happy memory. The reform has come without any effort. Something more subtle than preaching early hours Is at work changing a mode which in the last ten years had become a custom so rigidly observed that no one person or 'Set of persons, however influential, k could uproot it. Another feature of the season is the absence of such purely le functions as the erstwhile popular debutante luncheon. Farmers’ Educational and Co-Operative Union of America Matters jf Especial Moment to _ the Progressive Agriculturist A good road shortens the distance to market. Good hired men are hard to get, and still harder to keep year after year. • True co-operation Is a method of di viding profits of industry—labor or patronage—rather than to capital. Spending a half a day making fifty cents’ worth of repairs Is not always the best way to make money. The farmer does some of his work so cheerfully and so well that it looks like play to the man passing by. On some farms everybody works for their board and clothes and a little spending money for the old man. Keep a record of your expenses. The money may go, anyhow, but knowing where it has gone will be a satisfaction. There are three kinds of trouble and three kinds of joy—what we have on hand, what we have had, and what we may have. The fact that pork Is eight and ten cents per pound on foot, may explain why a lot of folks always make hogs of themselves. In now-a-days farming more than legs and arms are necessary. You must have a head with something in It and use It all the time. The ,fact that your neighbor tests his seed carefully before planting, is pretty conclusive evidence that he did not get his wealth by accident. If everyone took a good paper and read It closely, ads and all, a lot of slick confidence men would either starve to death or huve to go to work. Cleaning up the weeds and litter along the roads and In the garden would make a tremendous difference to the bugs and insects hiding, there waiting for spring. FARMERS’ INSTITUTE GROWTH Movement in United States During Last Decade Has Been Steady— Big Increased Attendance. The growth of the farmers’ insti tute movement in the United States during the last decade has been steady. In the season of 1902-3 there were held 9,570 sessions of Institutes In 41 states, as compared with 20,640 sessions held in 1912-13. The atten dance in 1902-3 was 904,654; in 1912-13 it was 2,897,391 at the regular insti tutes. The increase in attendance at each session was 49 per cent., or from an average of 94.53 to 141. The ap propriations increased from $187,226 to $510,784. During the past year, notwithstand ing the large growth of the extension movement by the agricultural Col leges, the regular institutes have in creased in attendance 346,192 aiul in the average number per session from 131 to 141. Although Institutes were held by all of the states and territories in 1913 excepting Louisiana, Nevada, Alaska, and Porto Rico, returns have been re ceived from only 41 as against 45 last year. The states not reporting held 388 sessions in 1912, attended by 24,- 974 persons. If these states have held institutes in 1913 equal to those of 1912, the totals would be Increased to 21,028 sessions and 2,932,365 at tendance, or an increase of 1.59S ses sions and 381,166 attendance, over the previous year. The institute has increased Us constituency until it now numbers about 3,000,000 of rural peo ple. There is no way of accurately esti mating the increased efficiency of the institute worker in recent years ex cepting that in the face of all of the. other enterprises looking toward rural betterment he has not only maintain ed his position among educators as a teacher of advanced agriculture, but in the last decade Ills audiences have increased over 200 per cent. It should be stated that this entire movement has been initiated and conducted with out national appropriation for its sup port and with a minimum amount of departmental aid, thus exhibiting an Initiative vitality and capacity for service of the body of farmers. Avoid the Middleman. A remarkable use lias been discov ered for the parcel post by Northern Alaska Eskimos, who have found that instead of selling white fox skins to traders on ihe spot at two dollars apiece, they can mail them to dealers in this country and avoid the middle man. On account of this discovery, it is said, the price of white fox skins lias risen in Alaska during the past summer to twenty dollars apiece. Who would have thought, when it was es tablished, that parcel post would be a boon to the Eskimos? Interest in Pictures. The interest that the farmer is tak ing in pictures and farm scenes iB thoroughly encouraging. It implies that he is awakening to the Impor tance of better farm homes and it also shows that he has a pride in what he is able to accomplish on his own farm and home. A man doesn't care to have a picture of his place taken un less he la proud of the placo. CO-OPERATIVE PLAN IS GOOD Lamb Club Organized Thirty Years Ago In Tennessee Has Proven of Benefits to Members. In vifcw of the wide discussion of the effects of co-operation among farm ers in marketing their products, the work of the Goodlettsvllle, Tenn., l^imb club, organized in 1882-83, and now in existence for thirty years is of timely interest. The club was organi zed because the sheep raisers in the vicinity of Goodlettsvllle found that by banding together they could make larger offerings of more uniform lambs, utilize car space to better ad vantage, and by making available a larger number of good lambs ready for shipment on a single day secure great er competition among the buyers. The followlhg facts are the result of a study of this club and other lamb clubs In Tennessee recently made by the Bureau of Animal Industry. The Goodlettsvllle Lamb club origi nally consisted of about one dozen farmers and its membership has in creased until at one time it numbered 85 members. It has as officers a pres ident and a secretary, and an execu tive committee of three members, of which the secretary is a member ex officio. The club is not a chartered institution and 1b more in the nature of a partnership. Us members agree to abide by its ruleB and constitution, although the organization is not espe cially binding. The president calls a meeting about April 1st. Prior to this meeting its members have the privi lege of selling lambs and wool at pri vate sale. At the meeting, however, each member reports the number of lamb3 and the amount of wool he will have to sell through the club and there after can no longer sell individually. After the report the executive commit tee has unlimited power. This committee then determines the total number of lambs and date or dates for shipment. Ordinarily, one shipment is made in the early part of June and another is scheduled for the early part of July. This year’s sales were dated June 10th and July 15th. The first delivery is made up almost entirely of “firsts." The second de livery which contains those that are too small for the first sale, is as a rule a poorer quality, as the old lambs do not make as great or satisfactory gains as the early ones. There Is little uniformity as to methods of Bale. This year, as is oft en the rule, the wool was sold to a local woolen mill. It was sold for 23*4, 20V& and 17 cents per pound, respect ively. These prices average better than those paid by local buyers, but because the other wool sold to these buyers is ungraded it is difficult to compute the exact monetary advan tage to the club members. The sale of lambs through the club may be announced through the local papers, by means of posters or post cards, or by word of mouth. This an nouncement varies with the locality, and the club may change its methods from year to year. Following is a typical advertisement of such a sale by a Tennessee club: LAMBS FOR SALE. The Lamb Club will sell by sealed bids about 800 lambs. Bids close May 20. Lambs are to be fat merchantable lambs, weighing from 55 pounds up, and will be deliv ered from the 9th to the 12th of June. Clut) reserves the right to reject any or all bids. (Signed) Secretary. Some of the clubs will accept bids by telephone or mail. The time between closing bids and the actual sale of lambs varies. Where bids closing on the day of sale are not satisfactory the club then ships its own lambs in cars previously ordered, and which the buyers have agreed to use if their bids are accepted. In some cases bids are accepted several weeks before de livery date, and the Goodlettsville club sold on futures this last season. Sell ing at or near the day of delivery is generally more popular with buyers and purchasers. On the day of delivery at Goodletts ville the lambs begin to come in early in the morning in wagons or in flocks. The driven lambs are marked with bright colored paint which avoids con fusion where flocks become mixed. Lambs are put upon the scales which are handled by the executive commit tee. Lambs lacking in condition or weighing less than 60 pounds are dis carded as culls. Comparatively few are thrown out, however, as the grow ers cull, the greater part are those lacking in age and of small size, but there are also some large ram lambs thut have become what is locally known as "staggy.” The president and one or two assis tants weight the lambs and credit each grower with his total weight. Deliv ery Is commonly made before noon in time for loading:- Payment is made on the day of delivery. The president or the executive committee pays the expenses which are small, and appor tions the balanoc among the members according tS" the number and weight actually delivered. The business of the day ts followed py a dinner of the club which adds a social feature. In addition to tfle Goodlettsvllle club there are lamb and wool clubs at Mt. Juliet, Baird’s Mill, Alllsona, Martha, and Flat Rock, in flourishing condi tion. These clubs each handle from 600 to 2,500 Iambs per year. New clubs are Pccaslonally formed and these are gen rally successful. Not a Good Test. Forcing a cow for a short period cannot always Jie accepted as the le gitimate measu-e of her capacity of any breed, no matter how well authen ticated any groat performahe- may be. ! Who Is Your Master? Br REV. J. H. RALSTON Secretary of Correapondcnce Department Moody Bible Institute, Cbicaao TEXT—No mnn can serve two inns:fees. —Matt. fi-a« Experience proves that every man has some master. While the text intimates that a man may at tempt to serve two masters, he can serve only one. Our thought must not be con fined to choice be tween two mas ters only when there may be sev eral. The point being that a man serves only one. Mammon may mean self, the world, the flesh or the devil. We will confine our thought to three possible mas ters. Self as Master. Man, as a rule, thinks he. is his own master. He says: “I am the cap tain of my soul.” He recalls without hesitation the words of the poet: "Man, know thyself, Presume not God to scan." and he interprets these words to mean that a knowledge of God is not his flrBt duty. In many cases he utterly Ignores God and sees in himself pos sibilities of a perfect man, and strives to develop them by himself. A party of travelers in the Alps were starting out one morning to scale one of the highest peaks, and invited a young man to go with them, and on his de clination, asked him if he did not in tend to make the ascent. He replied: ‘Wes, I will make it, but I will make It by myself. I have a guide book, and have my own head.” The party made the ascent and returned in safety. The next day the papers reported the find ing of a dead body of a young man at the foot of a precipice with a guide book tightly clutched in his hand. Thus many Imagine that they can go on without God. Satan as Master. The teaching of the word of God is very clear that there is an intelligent, powerful, malicious personality in the universe opposed to God, and he is called Satan, or the devil. He is the god of this age, and he is given great power, and seems to be lifted above mankind, to a position from which he exercises this great power. His power is seen in individual lives, and In masses of men. The diabolism that Is found in certain companies of hu man beings is almost beyond belief. The plot against the Jews of Russia charged with the ritual murder of tho boy Yushinsky, which, according to George! Kennan involved the Russian government itself, can only be ac counted for on the proposition that some satanlc mind planned it all. De mon possession was clearly taught In the scriptures, and In modern times has been clearly proven in China and other parts of the world by most con servative and discriminating students. Of some men it can be truly said, they are devils incarnate. The devil does not always operate in tho most debased and fiendish manner, or men would resist him and fly from him. Many whose lives are fairly admirable are yet in tho mastery of the evil one, but do not know it. Did not Jesus say that certain men were the children of the devil? In the individual, the mas tery of the devil is seen In his in ability to control his appetite, his tem per, and his actions. God as Master. But may not God be master? Jesus Christ, who was God, claimed to be master, saying: “One is your master, even ebrist." While there are few, comparatively, who acknowledge God as master, there are those who may claim to parallel the 7,000 in Israel who did not bow the knee of Baal. The disciple Thomas freely called Jesus Master, and the Holy spirit coupled tho idea of the saving power of Jesus Christ with his mastership in the use of the term Lord Jesus. The mastership of God Involves sev eral things. Flqgl, definite, positive and purposeful surrender to God When Saul of Tarsus by the gate of Da mascus asked: “What shall I do, Lord?” he rua^le a definite surrender. He acknowledged himself from that moment as the servant and very slave of God. Secondly, man will at once let God guide him. As God’s guid ance is most clearly given in his ward, that word will be man’B study all the days. Thirdly, his life will be one of complete obedience. ' There will be no further question as to whether the thing God commands is feasible or not. It Is only as to whether It is a clear command. “His not to reason why, his but to do or die." This per fect surrender is not imbecility; it is a sane, sensible recognition that tho leadership of God is better than his own. An Illustration of this Is seen in the career of such a man as Dwight L. Moody. Yielding the mastery to God, secures supreme happiness. One of the mas ter tricks of the devil Is to make man believe that to serve hltnself is to secure happiness. The only fear of Dan Crawford, who for 22 years was In tho iong grass of Africa, was that he might possibly 'Ipse his supreme joy In God—but he never lost it Time it!

All that is left of the hislorlo Wright biplane with which Calbraith P. Rodgers Hew from the Atlantic to the Pacific two years ago is to be pre sented to the Carnegie museum at Pittsburgh by the late aviator's moth er. The machine was badly damaged when Rodgers fell to his death in the Pueific ocean a short time after com J pletlng his wonderful flight. Subse quently it was used by Andrew Drew until that aviator also was killed with it. The machine has been restored to its original condition. Both Rodgers’ and Fowler’s Wright machines have motors of but 30-horsepower, yet they flew across the continent in opposite directions at a time when the aero plane had not been equipped with the 100-horsepower motor of today, which makes it much more stable, nor bad it developed anywhere near the speed of which it has since shown itself to be capable. Important to Mothers Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and seo that it Bears the Signature of In Use For Over 30 Years. Children Cry for Fletcher’s Oastoria At the Boarding House. “It's hard,” said tho sentimental landlady at the dinner table, “to think that this poor little lamb should bo destroyed in its youth just to cater to our appetites.” “Yes,” replied the smart boarder, struggling with his portion, “it is tough.” The Point. “Does the young fellow you have roped in with you know anything about this business he is putting his money into?” “No; if he did he wouldn’t put la his money.” Give people what they think they want Instead of what they really need and they’ll go on their way rejoicing.
