The boys of the class have turned out many things of practical use in- the school, among which are book shelves in Principal Ileironimus' office. The ladies visiting the school, were attracted to the girls manual training room, where a class was working industriously over the design, cutting and fitting of common gingham aprons. ' Prof. Ileironimus was complimented on all sides, and several . of the patrons told him that they had often heard their children talking of "periods," and other features of the school, but had never until last night were able to understand just what their children were talking about. The venture did not excite local interest solely, but many superintendents and teachers over the state who have heard of the trial, have anxiously awaited its outcome, and since the affair, was such a success it is highly, probable that. it. will be tried iu many schools of the state and especially in the larger cities.

Market Quotations by Board of Trade Driving Exchange and Bucket Shops Out of Georgia Forces Commercial Bodies to Supply Reports.

'Publishers Press! Columbus, Ga.f Nov. 21 Compelled by the enactment of the state law, prohibiting all exchanges and bucket shops in Georgia to look elsewhere for market reports, commercial interests in the larger cities are preparing to furnish quotations on stocks, cotion, bonds and provisions, through the aiedium of boards of trade. Columbus has found it necesry to provide a system of market reports, awing to the rapid increase in the manufacturing and farming population in this entire section. The farm lands for miles along the Chattahoorbee river are the most fertile in the state, owinr to frequent inundation. Th exceptional crops raised on these !ands are attracting fanners from the a,irth, and with many square miles of these farm lands still unoccupied, the rolumbus Board of Trade is making provision for new settlers. , While the farmers must bo supplied

GRAND LODGE TO

GREENSBURG HOME Fellows Make Trip to the Orphanage on Board a Special Train. OFFICERS MAKE REPORTS GRAND MASTER HOLLYWOOD TAKES UP SUBJECT OF THE EX PULSION OF LIQUOR SELLERS FROM THE ORDER. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21. (Spl.) At the opening session this morning of the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F.t of Indi ana, the reports of the various officers were read. This afternoon's program consisted of a trip of inspection to the home at Greensburg, on a special train, and the matter of whether or not to erect a new building on the present site of the grand lodge, at Pennsylvania and Washington streets came up at a special meeting tonight. The election of officers and the finishing up of the routine business of the convention will be held tomorrow. The report of the grand master, R II. Hollywood took up, among other matters, petitions to solicit aid. It said, in regard to this: "The practice of lodges asking permission to solicit aid seems to be growing at a rapid pace. Too many lodges erect lar buildings with ery small capital, involving themselves in debt far beyond their ability to pay, and trust to the generosity of the lodges in the State to assist them in meeting their obligations. This should not be. No lodge should so involve itself that it cannot see its way clear to meet its obligations any more than an Individ ual should do so. I have had numerous petitions for such permission, but have refused in each instance and have referred all such applicants to the Grand Lodge." Expulsion of Liquor Sellers. The matter of saloon keepers and bar tenders also was taken-up in the report by Mr. Hollywood, who relates that on assumine: his duties he at once took up tne wont Degun u . . . . i Grand Past Representative Alexander Johnson, to purge the order of all members engaged in the liquor busi ness who have been admitted contrary to the laws of the organization. The report related further that Mr. Hollywood had learned, through communication, of several members who were engaged in the liquor business and had asked that immediate steps should be taken to expel such members. The report further related that "it has come to my ears at different times that lodges while entertaining socially were wont to serve intoxicants as a part of the refreshments, but only once have I actually seen it. Instantly on learning what was being clone I stopped it. I believe that thl3 Grand Lodge should adopt a very positive resolution at this session." Innovations by Lodges. In regard to "innovations," Mr. Hollywood said: "I regret that some lodges still attempt to 'better our degrees either by adding to of taking from the ritual, and some few use mechanical devices in order to 'have fun with the candidates.' Wherever I have seen this done I promptly interfered and in most cases have interfered before those things were attempted which you have repeatedly said should not be done." The report of the grand secretary, W. H. Leedy, showed that the total number of lodges June 30, 1906, was too it chmvod that, the total mem bership June 30, 1906, was 71,870, a net gain of 2,929 since the preceding January. The total gross resources of the lodges, are $3,627,630.17, and the total net resources are $ 3,103,9S4.24, according to the report. Accept Funding Bonds. Controller Parry has received word that the funding bonds were accepted by the purchasers and City Treasurer Johnson forwarded the bonds, which were recently sold to Indianapolis, to E. M. Campbell & Company and Meyer & Kiser,, who jointly purchased the entire issue of $20,000. A draft for this amount, together with the premium of $223, and accrued interest amounting to $2S, was attached to the bonds, and the total amount, $20,253, will be collected through the First National Bank. with market reports, the manufacturers of cotton here cannot do without them, on account of the large future orders they book. Columbus was the first city in Georgia to inaugurate a movement to furnish hourly and daily bulletins on the market. Arrangements are now being perfected to install an exchange in the board of trade building, to be ready January 1, 1907, when the antibucket shop bill goes into effect. Atlanta has now adopted the same plan. For a while it was rumored that the exchanges and bucket shops would fight the Boykin law, but the recent announcement that they will withdraw from the state, has put an end to such talk. The Boykin bill, which was made a law by the last General Assembly of Georgia, caused one of the hottest fights ever known in the Georgia legislature. It was passed with a view to putting an end to gambling in cotton futures, and ia Atoeka nd bonds in Georgia,

ROUTES COMPLIMEIinDICHILDREII SHOWER

ROADS AND CARRIERS GOOD Inspector Sent Here From Washington Will Make Report Today Show ing Rural Mail Service in County to be Satisfactory. W. D. McKorkle, United States Rural Route Inspector, who has been In this city for several weeks, e pressed himself yesterday, saying that the rural routes in Wayne coun ty were as good if not better than any rural routes, that it has ever been his privilege of inspecting. McKorkle has been in the sen-ice of Uncle Sam for several years and has been all over the country, arrd therefore this statement from him is nil tho mnr armroniatfri in- Pnsfmaster Spekenhier and the farmers of the county, who take especial pride in their rural routes. Mr. McKorkle has gone over all the routes in the county several times, and says with few exptions the roads in the county are extraordinar ily good. His report to the head of the rural route department, which will discuss the rural routes of the county will be sent out today and will contain in substance the facts above. Mr. McKorkle was well pleased with the work of the various rural earners, stating mat tney were very proiicient in tneir woric ana no Detter - , . , worked conscientiously and did evervthinc within their nower to nlease their patrons. GLOOM CAST OVER THE ENTIRE FORCE Employes Of Government Cannot But Sincerely Pity T. Dan Engelbert. THE RESULT BENEFICIAL. MANY INTERESTING FACTS DE VELOPED YESTERDAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE AFFAIRSSIMILAR MISDEED HERE IN 1883. When T. Dan Engelbert faced the United States Commissioner at Indianapolis yesterday c" the charge of ifling the United States Mails, he was immediately placed under a five hundred dollar bond, and in default f it, was locked in the Marion county ail, awaiting the conviction which will surely come. In speaking about the matter last night, Postmaster Spekenhier stated that the arrest of Engelbert had cast a gloom over the whole post office force and the men went about their duties as though some person on the force was dead instead of being arrested for pilfering the mails. He further said that although all the men felt exeremely sorry for the unfortunate man the whole affair would work for good in the long run. Not since 1883 has any local man been arrested for pilfering the mails, and at that time W. T. Huter, a colored carried was caught in the act and he served a term in the penitentiary. . Was Speedy and Accurate. W. M. Moor, one of the United states Inspectors, who was in the city to heln trace the losses attributed to the local office, stated before he left the city, that he had followed Engelhorf n Ma rnnto with Vv a hnnfa nf I catchine him mutilating: the mall on his trips, but nothing of the kind had occurred and he said never before had he ever seen a carrier with the high degree of efficiency displayed by Engelbert. He was both speedy and accurate, while he was a general favorite among his patrons. Unconsciously Sang "Farewell." A strange coincidence occurred at the postoffice shortly before Engelbert was arrested Tuesday, and Postmaster Spekenhier stated that he had never had anything to touch him . so much as when Engelbert began singing "Farewell" in the rest room of the building, little realizing how soon he would be arrested and little realizing how soon it would be fareweH to his friends and family in this city. This incident occourred about five minutes - before Engelbert was arrested by Inspector Burr. It also came to light yesterday that Inspectors Moore and Burr had been in Richmond for two weeks, and knew all that time that Engelbert was opening letters, but did not know but that they were addressed to him. When Postmaster Spekenhier was called upon, the inspectors stated that they would stay in the city a year and spend, thousands of dollars but what they wDuld bring Engelbert to justice. Had Misfortune of Late. Postmaster Spekenhier said last night that when he confronted Engelbert and asked him why he had committed the awful crime against Uncle Sam, . Engelbert broke down and said that he had every thing against him in the past few months. He said that he had sickness in his family, ' and the doctors were pressing him for payment as were many of his other debters in the city, and stated that he thought of the work of robbing letters, and he fell to the temptation, Postmaster Spekenhier said that altlio f Engelbert denied it, he thought that the man had been carrying on a systematic robbery of the mails for the past several year-

President Greeted in Most Cordial Manner by People in City of Ponce. A CHARACTERISTIC TALK SAYS HIS EFFORTS WILL UNCEAS INGLY BE TO HELP ISLANDERS ALONG THE PATH OF SELF GOVERNMENT. tPublishers PresaJ San Juan, P. R., Nov. 21. After an exceedingly lively day spent in Porto mco, rresiaent Kooseveit tonignt was the guest of honor at a public relpiiou leuutrw mm at Luc Palace. The president enjoyed his ex periences and was very loud in his praise of the island and its people. He arrived at Ponce at an early hour on the Louisiana from Colon, and before the battleship had dropped her anchor. Governor Beekman Winthrop and the members of the island government went on board and personally welcomed the president. After the usual exchange of courtesies, the Pres ident boarded his launch and accompa nlprt onvemor Winthron to the official pIert where was gathered Maypr Qppenheimer and the Ponce city offi Cjaig. Entire City was Ablaze. The entire city was ablaze with flags and bunting. All of the wharves and streets in the vicinity of the landing place were jammed with people. The roadways were roped off to keep the crowd back from the thoroughfare along which the President was to pass. His excellency made the trip from the wharf to the city hall in an automobile and was wildly acclaimed while hundreds of school children who had been assigned to that duty, showered his automobile with flowers. After greeting many prominent cit izens at. the city hall, the President spoke from a balcony for ten minutes in his usual torcetui siyie, conciuumg as follows: "I shall continue to use every effort to secure citizenship for the Portq Ricans. I am confident that it will come in the end, and all that I can do to hasten the day I will do. My efforts will be unceasing to help you along the path of true self government, which must have for its basis a union of order, liberty, justice and honesty. I personall ysalute you from my heart as fellow citizens." In the meantime, while this was going on, Mrs. nooseveii was ueiu& entertained bv the school children, the girls of the industrial school presenting her with a richly embroidered dress goods. - , Subsequently the entire party left in eleven automobiles - for San Juan. All along the route of the military roadway the desire of the Porto Ricans to become American citizens was emphasized with banners bearing inscriptions to that effect. Hysterical Demonstrations. Demonstrations tjiat we're wildly hysterical in their enthusiasm followe(j the advent of the party through Tunna. Diaz. Coamo and Aidonito. The party reached Cayey at 1:30 p. m. where luncheon was served in the barracks as the guests of Major Griffiths, post commondant. Incidentally while dining the President took occasi0n to express wonder at the great development of the country, he having observed the splendid growing tobacco crops as he' passed. At Caguas, which by the way is tne prinCiPal town on the military d the scene was simply wonderful. All classes fairly outdid themselves, and in fact the jrresiaent wis u up lighted with his reception mac ne took occasion to make one mane one ions speech and several short ones, deal-1 ing with citizenship and as a result ! tmt more than an hour oenina his schedule. He finally had to be fairly pushed through a crowd of cheering j natives to start again on his way. . At Kio piearas ana iue umei iuuo nearer San Juan he also-stopped and made speeches, reaching San Juan in the late afternoon. Where the military road enters tne city an arch had been constructed representing gates to the city and this was covered with flags and bunting with a huge picture of the President suspended from the keystone. Here Mayor Todd handed over the keys of the town, a regiment of troops fell into line in front of the automobile, a mounted escort took up places at the sides and in the rear and the procession moved on through a lane of cheering humanity to the palace. Arriving at the grand square in front of the palace the President left hi3 seat and took a place in a stand that had been erected. He then reviewed the troops and received the various delegations that came to pay mm honor. GOOD SUM RAISED FOR THE Y. M. C. A. YESTERDAY The smaller contributions to the Y. M. C. A. Fund reached $6,764 by noon yesterday but it is thought. that much more was collected during the day. The work is progressing rapidly and the collections are meeting the expectations of all concerned. Secretary Brown has been forced to name office hours which will be strictly enforced, owing to his many clerical duties. He will receive callers from 10 to 11 i nthe morning and from 2 to 3:30 in the Afternoon, at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters in the Masonic Temple. To Play Fountain City.

SUSPICIONS OF GRAFT

Demand for Investigation Sprung South Bend City Council Caused a Sensation - in South, Bend, Ind., Nov. 2L, (Spl.) Councilman Frank Rogers caused a sensation at. the committee, meeting of the City Council, last night, when he accused certain city officials of Vgraft", and made charges which, it is understood, will be taken up an thoroughly investigated. While the allegations concerned petty grafts the belief is that the declaration by Rogers is but the opening wedge. His speech caused consternation among what is "known as " the City Hall rowd. Councilman Rogers moved that committee of four councilmen, two Democrats and two Republicans, be authorized to investigate and report at the regular meeting next Monday night. This motion was overruled, al tnougn it was enthusiastically sec onded. It is thought, however, that at the next meeting a committee will be appointed, consisting of four coun cilmen and four citizens to make the desired investigation. Again with Bradford. Fred E. Signer, formerly general freight and passenger agent of the C C. & L., with headquarters in Rich mond, and now assistant general freight agent of the Wabash, with headquarters in St. Louis, has been appointed general freight agent of the Wisconsin Central with headquarters at Milwaukee.

SOME TEACHERS REALLY FARCIAL Supt. Cotton Scores Some In structors for Incompetency in Last Bulletin. i POOR WAGES MAKE IT SO UNDER PRESENT SYSTEM HOW EVER HE SAYS TEACHERS GET POSITIONS WHO DON'T EARN HALF WHAT THEY GET. In the current bulletin of Fassett A. Cotton, -superintendent of public instruction, to the teachers of the state, he calls their attention to some poor work he has seen in the State In tke last part of the bulletin he says again that tie work in the school should be determined by thtr nature of the community and shows how consolidated schools have solved the problem of the country school. ' With reference to poor teachers and poor teaching Mr. Cotton says: While it is true that tner are hundreds of teachers in Indiana who are not and can not be paid for their work in doljars and cents, there are still many who are paid infinitely more than, they are worth. Neither the best teachers of the State nor the general public know nor can be made to comprehend how wretchedly poor some of the work in some of the schools is. In many districts in the state there can be found this winter schools in the hands or men and wo men who are so wanting in all qual ities that go to make the real teach er, that the whole performance is a iarce. it might be looked upon as a comedy and be disregarded if the outrage perpetrated on the children did not make it a serious tragedy. Ignorant, incompetent persons are still employed, and go on from year to year posing as teachers. And such persons will continue to offer themselves, and what is worse, will continue to be 'hired,' until standards which they can not reach are fixed and till wages which will produce bet ter men and women to prepare them selves are offered.'

J THOMPSON'S METHOD. flow m Famous Breeder Feed IT to Fonli and Rear Ilia Oairka. 5 have found the best way to get the st eggs from laying hens is to have plenty of litter In the pens (either straw or leaves) and to scatter the dry food Into It to make them work, says E. B. Thompson, the famous Barret 1 Rock breeder, iu Reliable Poultry Journal. Wheat, cracked corn and clipped oats, the same that we feed horses, are the best dry grains for me. These grains I feed in this way every day, morning and night. At noon it is a good plan to throw a handful or two of scratching food to keep the hens exercising more. Every day or every alternate day I substitute a mash for tbe morning dry feed. This is made of hominy or cornmeal, wheat bran, ground oats, white wheat middlings aud beef scrap, all scalded with milk or water and mixed so the mash will crumble. Twice a week a little powdered charcoal is put in the mash. This charcoal is and has been for twenty-five years a favorito conditioner with me. I value the white flour middlings, as they keep tbo bowels in fine condition. Laying bens must be well fed. but must be made to work so as not to get too fat. I feed cockerels wheat, whole corn. Instead of cracked corn, and the same mash does for them once every '.day or two. In each of my breeding. pens is a pint cup fastened high enough up so the cockerel can eat at any time, but at the right distance from th floor so the hens cannot reach it, I have never tried the hopper system in feeding breeding stock, except for scrap and granulated bane. These aro in every pen. I do use hoppers with growing, chicks after they are two months old. Until that age I feed three times a day in front of the small brood coops. One day the hoppers are filled with wheat and the next with cracked corn. In addition to this, every day I give a mash similar to that mentioned above, fed on boards around the fields. I also feed beef scrap and granulated bone to these chicks from dry food hoppers which are attached to tbe colony bouses about the range. I have never tried the exclusive dry feeding plan, as I believe a little soft feed or masb every day or two Is better for poultry, either young or old. 1 feed sitting hens whole corn, and that only. Young chicks are given dry bread crumbs when first batched or cracker, fed dry. After a few days they have fine cracked corn and fine cracked, wheat and once a day a soft feed as above, some Bpratt's food being put In this. I put much value on this food. I bare used commercial chick foods and like them. They contain a variety of small grains that make a nice change for tbe chickens. IkaTlagi mm Scratebla Litter. A reader asks if shavings would make good scratching litter, and as the answer was not very positive In its favor 1 will venture to speak from several years' experience and say that I have always used them with the best of success and prefer good, clean shavings to any other material, saysi L- E. Hudson In American Poultry Advo- , cate. They will not pack down so much as straw, and as most shavings are from dry lumber they will absorb more mo la tore than other material. They will also last longer. With six to ten inches of shavings on a good . floor you may depend on your fowls getting proper exercisa. -
