tered him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
rendered. One day a delegation from a
Buffalo church waited upon him and
invited him to accept a pastorate in
that oty.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory. the question Of accept.
ance narrows down to a business mat.

"Dr: Hawkes." said the spokesman,

"Now. my friends" responded the

Poultry Notes..

II the eggs are all gathered cvery,
day and marketed frequently you can
safely offer strictly fresh eggs for sale.
II not, you cannot.
Now. they tell us that twelve eggs
contain as much nourishment as one
bushel of wheat. You can figure the
difference in cost of production.
Medium sized turkeys sell most
readily upon the market.

Dairy Gossip.

Get rid Of the hard milking COW. 1t
takes as much muscle to milk her as 1t
does four or five easy mixers.
1t is good policy to keep the COW up
to her maximum production from the
time she freshens until you want her
to 80 dry.
Special purpose ideas in the dairy
management are Just as essential to
successful butter production as is the
special purpose COW.
Cows of strong dairy temperament
are what we must strive to produce.
When we get into the dairy business
for what there is in 1t none other is
worth fooling with.
Breed the COWS to give the largest
yield of milk at the time when but
ter fat is worth the most money. Give
the COW q two months rest when but
ter fat is lowest.

A Precedent for Presidents

If our next president. Mr.. Taft
beg pardon. perhaps Mr.. Bryan,
(maybe)-provcs as good ii friend to
the Jews as our late President Clcve-
land, or as broadminded. we will be
glad to have given Mr.. Taft-beg
pardon again-perhaps Mr.. Bryan
(maybc)-our more than Il million
votes
When we say "our million vrtcs.' y
it should not be understood that
though the Jews of America number
over million that they vote alike or
in bodies or "blocks. Only blockhcad
buncoed candidates believe such
fakery and foolcry.
Both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan will
have Jewish votes AS to which vii
have the more. the appeal of their
respective merits and that Of their
parties to the Judgment of each indi-
vidual Jew will be the regulating Tac-
tor.
The late Mr.. Cleveland set n prccc-
dent for presidents i'm his broadmini-
edness to American Jews and Jews
elsewhere.
Among the evidences of this virtue
are noted: His appointment of Oscar
s. Stra,ls as Minister to Turkey; his
public dcnunciation of Russian inhu-
manity at Kishinev his speech ithe
principal onc) at the celebrations of
the 25Oth Anniversary of Jewish Set
tlcment in America: his veto of i'm
migration restriction and his position
on the Russia passport question.
We feel confident that whether it
is Mr. Taft. or. beg pardon. perhaps
Mr.. Bryan (maybe) this precedent of
recognition of the efficient American
ism of the jew and his rights here
and elsewhere set by Mr.. Cleveland
will be continued and upheld. In that
conviction hurrah for either Taft and
Sherman or for Bryan and ---!

the English society to Use our name
The offer was accepted with thanks.
In the matter of establishing lodges
OF the Order in England it was moved
by Brother Jacob Singer that the
president be authorized to request
Rabbi f. n. Calisch, member of the
executive committee, and also Rabbi
J. Leonard Levy of Pittsburg, to make
inquiries during their proposed stay
IN England as to the feasibility of
instituting lodges in that country. Mo-
ton prevailed. 1t was further moved
by Brother Jacob Furth that if in
the event Brothers Calisch and Levy
should succeed in organizing lodges
in England the president be author
lZcd to issue the necessary charters to
such lodges. Motion prevailed
The matter of establishing lodges
in the Dominion of Canada was then
discussed. and it was moved by
Brother Jacob Furth that District
Grand Lodge No. | be requested to
take the necessary steps toward insti-
tuting lodges there. at the same time
extending to District Grand Lodge
No. | the cooperation of the eXccll-
tive committee. Motion prevailed.
Brother j. b. Klein then called the
attention of the executive committee
to the work of the Hebrew Technical
Institute" of New York City and on
motion of Brother Klein it was re-
solved. that the executive committee
tender to the officers of the institute
the aid of our lodges i'm order to help
the graduates obtain suitable posi-
tiOnS.
Rabbi DR.. Joseph Silvcrman of
cral committee of District Grand
Lodge No. l. then addressed the cx-
ecutivc committee. suggesting that Il
petition be addressed to Congress
with the view of making an appro-
priation to erect II monument to
Hahn Solomons. and that if Congress
should refuse. the executive commit
tee take the initiative in the erection
of such monument by the Jews of
the country. Brother Silvcrman fur
thcr pointed ont the necessity of cs-
tabliShing II bureau for the defence
of the Jewish name. To combat the
pcrniciouS influence of the So-called
stage jew" and the introduction
into the curriculum of the public
schools of the play of "Thc Merchant
of Venice" The advisory commit
tee was requested TO give the above
suggestions due consideration.
The matter of changing the mai
B'rith Bulletin into = monthly news
paper. copies of which 10 be mailed
to members of the Order. was then
brought up for discussion. Bids from
various publishing houses were sub
mittcd. and it was finally moved by
Brother Jacob Furth that the entire
matter be referred to the president
with authority to take such action as
he deems proper.
The president suggested the advis-
ability of engaging some proper per-
son to write the history of the Order,
the history for the first fifteen years
of it's existence having been written
by Brother Julius Bien about twenty
years ago. Upon motion of Brother
Edward \. Calisch, Brother Simon
Wolf and J. B. Klein were appointed
IL committee to make investigation
concerning available material for such
history. the proper person to write 1t,
and report to the president.
The secretary presented commune

Committee stating that the committee
