CRUDE On TO LAY THE DUST. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
tends to sprinkle crude oil on various
parts Of its roadbed, so as to prevent
the rising Of dust, which has been a
source Of complaint TO all managers Of
railroads fo7 a number of years. Early
in the season the company began ex-
perimenting with the sprinkling Of oil
on the West Jersey Railroad. From
the start the plan has proved success,
and it has been found that on roadbeds
which are composed Of gravel it will
keep down the dust as we'll as turn off
the water. The success the experiment
has met with on the West Jersey and
Seashore Railroad has led the COM
pany to try it on other sections Of the
road. During the last few days the
oil-tank sprinkling cars have been
doing work on the Delaware Division.
This line is unusually dusty, owing to
the sandy soil. The company is also
having the roadbed between Baltimore
and Washington similarly treated.

RAG WEED.-A gentlemen from Cen
treville asks the ediors of the Country
Gentleman the following questions:
"What is best means of extermina-
ting rag weed? / live in q country
where it grows as nothing else will
king among weeds, though we boast all
sorts in singular profusiOn. A neigh
Dor this year had find stand of clover
in his wheat field, when grain was first
cut. In two weeks time the rag weed
had completely chOked the clover out.
/ have lot now luxuriant in rag weed,
and 1 should like to get a good stand
of clover on it for next year. What is
the surest method?"
They publish the following answer
to his questions: "Mow the clover and
wheat stubble, a little higher than
grass is generally mown,a ar soon as the
rag weed appears. Should it grow up
a second time in considerable quantity,
NOW again. This will serve not only
to hold the rag weed in check, but will
induce the clover to tiller and so oc-
cupy nearly all the ground. The now
ing should not be deferred until there
is a great mass Of material to be cut,
for this may smother out the clover.

The extraordinary raise in wheat
makes it inevitable that -four should go

All men are Brothers, but the great
majority of them are awfully slow
about acknowledging the relation
ship. When the canoe rides on the
crest of the wave, and the spray of
success glistens on your face and
garments how gladly does the ex-
tended hand grasp yours; how kind
ly do the eyes express admiration
and friendship. But come again,
poor man, when the sullen waters of
disaster saturate your clothes and
the sea weeds of despair cling to
you; pass before that group of men
and perhaps few pitying eyes may
glance at you, but in those glanccs
will be no token of recognition.
Don't you recognize something
wrong about such a condition in the
minds Of men? 1t is the man with
out credit who needs money from
the bank; it is the man without
friends who needs them; it is the
heart benumbed by neglect that
needs the sunlight of love. Brothers,
if you learn well the lessons taught
by our noble Order, and live your
obligations, you will help to roll the
world up into higher and nobIer
civilization, where there will be no
poor, and no outcasts-where each
will live for others happiness.-

There is nothing that will
strengthen the Order as much as fra
ternal visitations. A Brother con-
fined to his home and his room for
many days is often helped more by
CHEEKY visit by member of his
Lodge than by the doctors med
icines. Don't sit down by him and
whine, but with cheering conversa-
ton lead his thought for time
away from his troubles. 1t is not
necessary to tell him that he looks
badly and that you sympathize with
him in his affliction; his glass too
truly tells him the first, and your
visit and friendly words show your
interest in him.
Don't whine to him about such
things as have gone amiss in the
Lodge room, or over your own af-
fairs, but tell him of the pleasant
happenings, and show by your looks
that all is well and that the world is
better and brighter, and growing
that way every cycle of the sun.
Let the magnetism of your own soul
create a brightness and hope in his
Remember the old proverb, that GAS
iron shapeneth iron so does the face
of man his friend" If you do these
things, your visit will do good and

and within your own surroundings

Death OF HDr. Rrieray.
w. L. Taylor.

We are grieved to have to an
nounce the death of Bro. G. 3. Bri-
erly, who was charter member of
River Lodge No. 6, who later took a
clearance card and Joined Lucille
Lodge No. 7, as a charter member.
Subsequently the DIR. moved to San
Pedro, Cal, where he joined Palos
Verdes Lodge No. 237, of that place.
Brother Brierly's death took place
in Hawthorne last Sunday morning,
after an illness of about two weeks.
Formerly Bro. Briefly lived in Sut-
70, and he was we'll known and uni
versa1ly respected in this section.
He always took a lively interest in
A. @. u. w. affairs, and was instru-
mental in saving many bereaved
family from destitution by persuad-
ing those most interested to provide
their families with a Beneficiary
Certificate. Our late Brother must
have derived much consolation at
the last from knowing that those
near and dear to him, wife and
daughters, Were not left destitute,
as DR.. Briefly was too whole-souled
and generous to be much of an accu-
mulater.

Wake UP!
rnulater.

River Lodge No. 6, of this place,
has about forty members, and yet
for the past two years there has not
been regular Lodge meeting. Two
weeks ago couple of new members
were initiated and there was a good
attendance of home members, but
since then things have fallen back
into the old groove. We protest that
this is no way to build up the Order.
There is no reason why River Lodge
should not meet at least twice a
month. The expense would not be
very great, and there is a chance to
do considerable extension work Just
at the present time. Let us wake
up and be doing something to show
the other Lodges that we are alive.

You believe in fraternity? How

out to favor or aid Brother? If he
is out of employment will you make
it your business to be on the look out
to secure him a job? If you hear of

business to drop your work and go

visit him when sick? Do you find
out if his family needs help? Do
you warn him of danger or advise
him if seen to be going wrong? Do
you take any interest whatever in

fy During the month of August
$4,000 Were paid out by Nevada Ju-

that the small as well as the large
Lodges are placed upon an equal
competitive basis.

classified assessment plan, which
she will very likely do, every Pacific
Coast Jurisdiction will be working
under the new plan; and from every
Jurisdiction that has adopted it
comes news of the rapid increase in

praises of the greatest Order on
earth, and recommending it to the
favorable consideration of his friends
and neighbors. Brothers, Ego ahead"

In the world or Art and Letters.

AS the result of the development
of our public school system and the
cheapening of books, there has
grown up large class of men and
women who seek broader education,
or desire to extend their knowledge
along special lines. Their duties in
life, or lack of means, exclude them
from the universities. The Cosmo-
politan magazine has undertaken
the task of bringing liberal educa-
ton, in it's broadest sense, within
the reach of those who have the
aspiration, but are deprived of the
opportunity. Doctor Andrews, late
of Brown University, has under
taken the Presidency of the Cosmo-
poLitnn's educational movement.
The work, thus begun, is not in
tended to take the place of regular
university work, but to supply
gap in existing educational facili-
ties. Those who are really in search
of knowledge will find direction
and aid. 1t can do nothing for
those who have not the desire to
study. An intending student sends
to the Cosmop opoIitan, New York, his
name, occupation, previous courses
of study, studies desired to be pur-
sued, objects and purpose for which
course is designed, and the number
of hours, daily or weekly, study
which can be given. No charges of
any kind will he made to students.
