What SWeethreads Are.

Webster defines sweetbreadsa as "the
pancreas of any ANIMAL" and defines
"pancreas as ga gland of the body
situated between the stomach and
the vertebrae of the loins." The New
Century's definition is almost the
same, while every French dictionary
defines sweetbreads as the glands of
any young animal, more especially
the sucking calf. The truth of the
matter is that sweetbreads are the
glands in the throat. of a sucking calf.
They are found in the throats of all
very young sucking animals, but are
more considerable in the throat OF a
young calf, and even then at the
largest are seldom bigger than a
mans fist doubled over. The sweet
breads are the glands used by the
calf in sucking, and are found in the
young calf during the period when it
is fed on it's mothers milk. When the
calf is turned out to grass the sweet
bread begins to grow smaller and in
three or four days disappears, no
longer standing out in q mass of deli
cate flesh. but hanging long, soft and

Needs OF Tuskeuee.

Booker Il. Washington, principal
of the Tuskegee Normal and Indus,
trial Institute, in the black belt OF
Alabama, where the colored popula-
ton outnumbers the white three to
one, has issued a circular in which he
enumerates some of the needs of the
school and tells of it's present equip
ment and results.
A small contribution goes long
way toward giving a negro, boy or
girl, a good education. Fifty dollars
pays for the education of student
for one year. Two hundred dollars
will enable him or her to take com
plete four years. course. One thous-
and dollars added to the endowment
fund creates permanent scholarship,
the interest on which pays for the tut
ton Of one student for ali time.
The endowment fund now amounts
to $290,OOO. Mr.. Washing ton and
his associates want to makeit $780,
900. To St cure that increase and to
get money for the years current ex-
penses are, according to the circular.
the most urgent needs of the institute.
The average annual attendance of
students is 1,105, 1913 women and
772 men. There are 100 on the ex-
ecutive sta if and teaching force. The
students now at the school are from
twenty-nine states of the Union AND
from Cuba, Porto Rico, Africa, ia
maica and Barbados. The average
age of students is eighteen and a half
years
"The effort is" says the circular,
"to get the most promising colored
students from a wide section of terri
tory and send them back to exert a
helpful il huence."

Oregon is the first in the field in this
years political campaign. It's state
election will be held June 2. The Re-
publicans have nominated strong
ticket and are putting up a good
fight. The state has usually gone
Republican, but once or twice has
failed to do so. Hence it is looked
upon as more or less of a political
barometer-much such a one as
was formerly Maine, on the other or
eastern extreme of the United States.
1t was one of the first states in which
the Democrats fused with the popu-
lists, and was carried for Cleveland
by that means in 1892. 1t was also
one of the first to Indicate the chang
ing political current, it's vote in 1896
being premonition of the tidal wave
which swept the nation and carried
Mckinley triumphantly into Office.
Predictions from Oregon are that the
state will give a good Republican
plurality next June. That Demo-
cratic revival seems to have been in
definitely postponed.

Letter to L. A. Cross,
Morris Vt.

Dear Sir: You paint lead and oil,
don't you? Do you know why a
house turns fiat in spots and streaks
in a few weeks, before the paint has
had any chance to chalk or wear?
Deyoe Lead and zinc don't fat.
It's as glossy as ever until it begins
to wear: it keeps it's gloss for two or
three years. When the gloss begins
to go, the paint is beginning to go.
1t is the first sign of wear-it ought
to be.
We suppose the fatting is due to
water in lead; but why it should fat
in spots and not all over is more
than we know.
There is water in all whitehead in
the making. We dry it out; perhaps
else does.
Yours truly,
60 F. W. DEvoE & Co.

Annual Election of Officers.

Mount Vernon Lodge, F. & A. M,

day evening with a very good at
tendance. The new officers we're elect
ed as follows

S. W.; F. l.. George, j. W.; E. G.
Wilson, Treasurer; A. W. Stone, Sec
rotary. The appointed officers are,

Committee on Grievance, F. NJ

Committee on Charity, W. M. Clark,
G. A. Spiller, F. L. George.
All of the elective officers were pro-
NOTED, each receiving a large ma
jority, with the exception of Secre-
tary. j. A. Robinson, the present
incumbent, who was candidate for re-
election, but was defeated on the
second ballot. Mr.. Robinson has
been Secretary for ten years and has
been a good officer. His successor is
popular young man and will prove
a worthy official.
W. M. Clark, the Master-elect is an
old-time Mason and is we'll up in all
the details of Masonry. He has a
good corps of assistants and under
his management Mt. Vernon Lodge
will sustain it's well-earned reputa-
ton.
After the regular business of the
evening had been transacted Past
Master G. M. Powers took the chair
and in few felicitious remarks told
Brer. Greene that he had been
charged with faithfulness and fidelity
to the duties of the lodge the past
two years; that he had served the
lodge we'll and faithfully in all re-
spects and that as a token of the
esteem in which he was held the lodge
presented him with these gifts, a
Past Masters Jewel, a watch charm
and a Past Masters apron. Mr..
Greene was taken by surprise and
very feelingly "pled guilty" to the
charge. The gifts are very handsome
and their value shows that the lodge
has great regards for Worshipful
Master Greene.
A public installation of officers will
be held at the lodge rooms Wednes,
day evening, April 80, under direc-
ton of Rev. l. P.Booth, District
Deputy.
Resolutions on the Death of L. b. Shaw.
The following resolutions we're read
at the last meeting and accepted by
vote of the LODGE
We. the members of Mt Vernon Lodge here
assembled learn with deep regret of the death
of our brother, Lorenzo b. Shaw. Bro. Shaw
has for several years been too far away to
attend the meetings of this lodge, but he was
always in good standing, having the welfare
OF the lodge in mind. On his last visit to this
town he paid this lodge a visit.
We feel as though we had lost an interested
and faithful member and shall remember him
as such.
We wish to express to the family and rela-
tives of the deceased brother, this token of
our sympathy and sorrow, knowing that
they lost more than we.
"We commend his spirit to God who gave
it," and his friends to the care and keeping
of that same Supreme Being.

J. A. ROBINSON,

ed how much can be saved by such direct
dealing would be willing to go back to the
old-fashioned way of buying, in which profits
must be paid to two or more middemen.
But the new business method more than ever
requires confidence in the fairness and strict
honesty of the business firm and reputa-
tion above any suspicion OF unfair dealing.
The success of a firm having this kind of a
reputation is illustrated in the career of The
Columbus Carriage and Harness Company,
of Columbus, o., which has sold an immense
number of high grade carriages and harness
by a plan of shipment directfrom the factory,
insuring every buyer against loss or dissat-
isfaction. By their plan a carriage user in
Maine or Texas can buy far cheaper than at
the local store. and with equal opportunity
to return any article that is not satisfactory.
To aid buyers at distance this firm has pre-
pared large catalogue which shows by ac-
curate illustrations and careful description
exactly how and of what material each
vehicle is constructed. This catalogue is a
valuable guide to buyers of carriages and
harness and even those who may intend buy
ing elsewhere should have a copy on hand to
consult in order to be informed what the fair
factory price is before the profits of jobbers
and retailers are added on. Anyonec can obtain
this catalogue free by writing to The Column
bus Carriage and Harness Company, Column
bus, Ohio.

FISH WILL RAISE GRAIN
Along a11-American Trail. Brings Farming Implements
 From Seattle.

| MT. Oscar Fish brought three blows on the Excelsior, to le used 'n breaking ground for planting gruin at various places along the trail to Eagle. It is his intention to do away with the great expense of hauling feed to the interior for his forses. Oats have becn sue cussfully raised l,y Mir. Holman, at Copper Center. and have grown in many places along the road. merely from the grain dropped by the nu- merous pack trains. go that Mir. Fish anticipates no trouble in raising feed enough for his stock.
 Ground will be broken at Ton sina, Chis.uchina and Panama sta tions, and the mail carriers who are compelled to. remain at these places for several days between trips, will plant and attend to the grain. .4--~
 It is no experiment raising farm produce in. the Copper river valley. In addition to the oats already mentioned. there have been several successful gardens planted in that section.
 Any one who was on the interior in '9S and 20 will remember the vegetable garden at Copper Center, which produced lettuce. ra,lishcs. potatoes, turnils, etc, of a size and quality that surprised all who saw them.
 Another we'll known garden was that of Nels Johnson, opposite the mouth of the Sanford river. Mir. Johnson camped on a little bench at this place in 1898 and raised a small selection of vegetables. The radishcs, turnips and lettuce which he produced. could not be improved upon. The next year, when boat ing down the Copper, the writer had the satisfaction of eating vcge- tables which had sprung up volun- tarily in this garden.
 There have also been few in- stances of vegetables being raised m Chi>na aud Slate creek. miles above timber line and only short distance from the glaciers. in places where the snow is off the ground for a period of only three or four months during the year.
 There can Ike no doubt of the success of Mir. Fisl's venture. and when others begin to realize the vast extent and richness of the ag- ricultnral lands in the valley of the Copper, We will surprise the world hy the variety and amount of farm produce which can be raised in this fertile country.
