THE annual fest.
Of Germania Turn -Verein Held Friday
Evening.
DISPLAY OF PHYSICAL POWERS
Interesting Gymnastic Program
Well performed...A Dance
Concludes Festivities.

Germania Turnverein gave an excel
lent exhibition of gymnastic feats and
drills at Turner hall Friday evening.
c. Haase, w. Glass and Hugo Standka
composed the executive committee
which was very successful in pleasing
the crowd of 300 people which assem-
bled.
In the absence of President A. Won
Landberg, which was due to illness,
Vice President C. Haase delivered a
very creditable welcoming address
Then followed an overture by the Can
ton Orchestral club. All the gymna-
SUM classes of the organization num-
bering about $50 people, ranging in age
from the little tots of not more than s
years to the actives, class of young
men, presented some very clever
tableaux with a representation of a duel
with swords as the central figure. The
first boys class next gave an exhibition
of exercises on parallel bars which re-
ccived considerable applause.
The first and second girls classes then
presented long pole drill in which the
accurate training of the classes was
evident from the fact that a very small
member of the class was unable to reach
the long pole when it was raised above
the heads of the tallerd members, yet
she went through the motions of the
Grill as accurately as her more favored
sisters. After this the actives gave a
dumbbell drill that was well received,
after which short intermission was
taken before the second part of the pro-
gram was begun.
The pioneer class. which consits of the
more mature turner's, gave wand drill
that might well have been envied by
the younger and more supple men,
bers. The second boys class followed
them with exercises on a vaulting horse
which reflected great credit on the in
structors who could procure such results
as this in pupils so young. One little
boy, apparently not more than -four
|
horse that was raised somewhat above
the top of his head and went through
the drill with the rest. Mr.. Charles
Helfrich gave an exhibition of Indiar
club swinging in which the gyrations
and antics of the clubs were perfectly
bewildering to the senses.
A feature of the entertainment was
the may-pole dance given by the frs
girls class, numbering twelve girls

teresting and the audience showed il!
appreciation by hearty and continued
applause.
However, it remained for the cracl
class of the organization, the actives
to make the hit of the evening, which
they did by their building of human py.
ramids. Upon a foundation of the mos
muscular of the young men, a human
man was in the flies over the stage.
This was the 27th annual fest of tn,
Turner's and was not merely an athleti,
entertainment but a season of genera
good fellowship and enjoyment. Afte
the exhibition was over the chairs wer
removed from the floor and the merr!
dancers assumed possession which the!
did not relinquish till the early hour
of the morning.
All present confess to most admira
BILE entertainment.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

There is much speculation among
commission merchants and farmers
at the produce market regarding
the price of fruits and vegetables.
The matter is one of considerable
importance to the citizens Of Wash
ington as a whole. During the
summer and fall there has been a
notable increaseall along the line,
and especially in the case OF pota-
toes, onions, apples and peaches.
This was due to the drought in the
West causing a scarcity OF these
,roducts. The truck farmers in
the immediate vicinity of the Cap
ital reaped a harvest through the
misfortune of their brethren in the
West. More money has probably
been made this season than IN
many years by the farmers of the
East generally.

ST. 4 YEAR,
COTTON IN AFRICA.

United States Consul Albert
reports to the State Department
from Brunswick, that the Germans
are making efforts to raise cotton
in their possessions on the west
coast of Africa. The government
has taken into its service four H.
telligent negroes from Alabama,
who have had a good school train
ing and are experienced in the
cultivation OF cotton. They were
selected by the president OF
the Tuskegee Irsutute, IN
Alabama. The men left New
York last year, taking with them
all necessary tools aud machines
The President Of the Tuskegee
Institute has received a letter from
one Of them, saying: eve have
brought under cultivation 100 acres
of land, a part of which has beer

The cotton has already more frul

Adam Withdrew.

In the races that took place at
Lake Charles last Sunday, the most
interesting one, that is, the one
which attracted the most people,
was the one in which was entered
Adam, Brookshi:e and Morgan 5.
The race started out all right, says
the Press:
1t clouded the sport somewhat
by dissatisfaction as to the judges
ratings. Adam, owned by h.
Patout, won the first heat IN 2:l9,
thus lowering the track record by
six seconds; Morgan :, owned by
Mr.. CaycauIt, second, and Brook
shire third. Patout claimed that
Brooksblre had been dislanced and
| was therefore ineligible to continue
IN the race, but the judges iul d

ssI'here is lots of money In far
ming said Prof. Myron Whitney.
chief Of the division of soils of the
Agricultural Department, If the
farmers will ouly take pains to be
up to date IN their management, oil
course. 1t isn't any easier TO be up
to date in farming than 1T is in any
thing else.--in your business or nine
for instance and very probably
neither Of us would do any better
than the average farmer il we tried
to follow his profession. Never
theless, there is not doubt whatever
that any agrlculturist who does keep
ZIP to date, will make money and
lots Of 1T. For instance, take the
growers of Sumatra tobacco in the
Connectlcut valley. Like all the
farmrrs up there, they have been
living on the ragged edge of failure
fer years. Some of them had been
making fair profits at growing to
bacco in the open, but these were
comparatively few. Last year the
Department went up there and
showed them how to raise Sumatra
tobacco under cover at a profit OF
$1,000 an acre. Now some OF them
have invested about $4,000 il
following the Departments example
under direction OF tobacco exper1
TO whom the Government pays "a,
900 year. They will get all lhel
investment back this summer ant
will make a clear profit of $1,000
an acre besides. Those who hadn'
the money to GO into thls--lt cos
about $500 an acre to start-or VIII
were not sufficiently up to date t
do so, will make only small profit
The moral is that farmers shoul
find out what crops are best for the
soil and should use modern method
in raising and rotating them.
they do this, their profit is reason
ably certain. /"
