1t would be useless to try and quote
any of the funny phrases pulled off by
Mr.. WeIlman. He told them in such a
frame of mind that will bring laugh
at any time. He told of woman in the

why Milton should have written

and told of their attempts to monopo-
lie the board of education. Mr.. Well

Judge Dana on Duty.
Judge Aston W. Dana responded to
the toast Duty 1t was a lecture on
Masonry in itself and was one of the
greatest treatises on the subject ever
heard in the Masonic hail. in this city.
Several of the Masons said last night
after the banquet that written coIiy
of the impromptu- speech given by the
judge last night would nave been
masterpiece-and it was. Judge Dana.
delivered the little toast extemporane-
ousIy but with the forceful manner
and attention-demanding characters
tics only too common to him in both
public and private life. One of his
strongest thoughts was:
If we perform our full duty as a
Mason we will perform our full duty as
a citizen' The manner in which the
Judge brought out this point was bril-
liant In speaking of the so-called
show usually displayed by certain
orders of Masonry Judge Dana ex-
planned the criticism in a most beau
tifuI manner. He said that the inside
of true Masonry was not like the re-
Election. He took for his figure the
lights which shine through the cathe-
draI windows. and spread themselves
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-26

over the church-the love of God is not
to be judged by the Iights-we must
get further into the brotherhood and
learn it's uses mad its advantages.
Judge Dana emphasized in his speech
the necessity of less secrecy in Ma
sonry. He said that people did not
realize-while Masonry was at such
stage-the real justice, charity, broth
erly love and equality of the order
these things were really hid from
them. He spoke for a half hour on
the subject of his toast, Duty but il
was a beautiful, instructive talk full of
the real true spirit of Masonry.
Visitor Made a Hit.
Rev. James NJ. Plannett, of Coffey-
vile, spoke for the 'telass''- of incoming
Scottish RiterS and he kept the big au-
dience in continual uprOar with his
keen wit and humor. He replied clever
ly to the thrusts and told a number OF
stories both stolen and original that
are actually new with a Topeka audi
that took with the audience from the
start. At times the applause would
vibrate back and forth across the hall
until he found it impossible until after
a wait of a number of seconds to pro-
Ceed with his talk.
After the banquet the brothers and
guests adjourned to the lodge room
above and from the large galleries and
arena they witnessed a series of scenery
staged by the Masonic bodies. This
stage is one of the best equipped in the
west and the Masons have invested in
over $4,000 worth of scenery alone. 1t
was shown to a great advantage last
night. During the change of scenery
Mrs George w. Parkhurst and Mrs.
Edwin L. ONeil sang scolos, with Mrs
Robert Carver at the piano and Miss
Irene Welshans gave the christmas
Substitute reading.
1t was as a whole one of the most
successful entertainments ever given by
the Masons of this city. Everyone came
and everyone apparently had an excel
lent time. There were no bitches in the
programme-which is partly due to the
ability of Charles A. Moore as master
of. ceremonies.

LIBERAL EDUCATION.
DIR. Charles F. TIhwing Tells What
Constitutes One.

Chicago, March 26.-Just what a
liberal education consists in is at pres
ent interesting the American Academy
of Medicine. The tendency of the
times to Shelve the classics and laud
the natural sciences has led DR.. Chas.
F. Thwing, president of Western Re-
serve university to communicate the
following views to the members:
Mere knowledge in certain limited
spheres assuredly does not make the
literally educated man or woman.
have known a man of high scientific
attachments in certain fields who spent
large amount of his time in watching
earth worms which he had made in
toxicated. I have known a woman of
equal attainments in the world of
science who devoted much time to the
observation of the breeding of mice
in order to see what colors would re-
suit from various inter-breedings.
''But I should hardly call either this
man or woman scientist literally edu-
Gated. The person who is literally
educated has knowledge, learning and
mental attainments as we'll as a wide

CHICAGO AIR 0. X.
just as Good as Arizona or California.
Says Doctor.

Chicago. March 26.-That Chicago
air is as beneficial to the consumptive
as that of Arizona or California, is the
belief of DIR. ]. w. Petit, physician in
charge of the Ottawa tent colony for
tubercular patients, and he has so in
formed the Chicago Medical society
He says it is almost criminal to send
where usually they are far worse or
than they would be at home with reIa-
tives.
DR.. Petit returned recently from a
tour of inspection of sanitariums in
Arizona, New Mexico and California.
He says physicians have known for
several years that climate alone can
not cure consumption; that sufficient
nourishment and pleasant surround
ings are of more benefit, but the gem
eral public, he declares, apparently
has not yet learned it.

Albert MetCalf.

The sad news Of the death of Albert
Metcalf reached US on Saturday last.
Albert Metcalf was the son of our es-
teemed friend Green Metcalf, Of Trop-
ical Bend, and was born in this Parish
,33 years ago.
When quite a young boy he began
life in the shops of the Texas and Pacific
r. R., working all day and gaining his
education by attending night school,
where, unaided and through his own ex-
e lions he fitted himself for the grand
and serious battle Of life. He was an
expert machinist and up to the time of
his illness, resided in Mobile, Ala,
where he was employed. He was at
the Mobile Sanitarium when death
came; his remains were brought to his
old home last Wednesday, the l4th.,
and were buried at Tropical Bend in
the family cemetery. His death was
made doubly sad by occurring on the
very day set for his marriage,
While we are made sad by the death
of a loved one, if we apply the philos-
ophy of the East, that the spirit has
gone to its creator, to realms of ever
lasting peace and happiness, the pangs
of sorrow would be lessened. The Ga
zette extends sincere sympathy and
coincidence to the bereaved family.

DISC HAREOWS.

The disc harrow may be considered
as the most important t,llage tool for
grain farming. There is no other tool
that will conserve more moisture by
using it on stubble, after harvest and
before blowing time. It may be used
as a cultivator for summer following.
On ground where small grains are to
follow such as beets or potatoes. the
use of this tool will often make plow-.
ing unnecessary.
The 16-inch disc is the Proper size
for ordinary farm work. This size
lulls somewhat heavier than the larger
sizes, but pulverises enough better to
justify its use. The l6-inch disc pene-
trates the soil deeper than the larger
one because it has less bearing-up sur
face; it revolves faster, thus pulyeriz-
ing the soil better. For hardness and
ease of operation each gang OF the
disc should be controlled by ar indivi-
dual lever. All bearings should be well
protected from dust and dirt and 50
constructed as to be easily oiled. Each
disc should he provided with a satisfac-
tory foot lever cleaner.
DISC GRAIN DRILLS.
OF the various method of opening the
burrows on grain drills, the disc is now
given the preference. This may be
either in the form Of a single or a dou-
BILE disc. The single disc is being used
very much more than the double disc
at present; it pene.rates the ground
easier, cuts through the trash better,
and is capable of cutting a deeper fur
row than the double disc. The double
disc has the advantage of being able to
deposit the seed in a better condition,
to a more nearly uniform depth, and
also leaves the ground smoother. There
is very little difference in the draft Of
these two types of discs and under Or
binary conditions very little preference
between them

Bertrandviue.

The farmers here have been getting
q good deal of praise from the Gazette
for the way they have increased the
yield of their farms by hard labor and
by not leaving anything slip that they
thought would result in improvement.
There is no eight hour days for the
farmers of this place. The praise did
much towards expanding the farmers
if not the farms. They have bursted
many tar rope belts, but nevertheless
the cry is "let it come" Mr.. Editor,
we are a grateful people. One car Of
lettuce left here Monday, making a
total of sixteen cars for Chicago, and
about as many for New Orleans. The
cars average $50 bushels per car. There
is still a good bit to be shipped that
will be sent in small shipments. The
weather has been more in favor Of the
lettuce crop this year than in the past
five or six years. The cucumber plants
suffered much on account of the cool
weather, but nevertheless the far
mers thought that one bird in the hand
was worth two in the bush, and now
that the first has been secured, they
are now after the two in the bush.
The rain last week did much good to
the cucumber crop, and We think was
sufficient, as the cucumber crop re-
quires very little water.
Some of our Pointe-a-l Hache
friends are in the habit of watering
their lettuce field with ice-water, but
we think they were spared Of this ex-
pense this season. The lettuce has
been so much the topic Of the season
that we are some what inclined to be-
lieve, that if the next season is a warm
one there will be great fields of lettuce
going to seed. Better let that large
crop Of lettuce that you are expecting
to plant next season be one-quarter
cabbage and one-quarter spinach or
something else, and that will give yo,
what the race goers cali a three to one
shot.
The garlic grown here has been some
what stunted by the so-called blight,
but nevertheless the prices are there
and SO is the garlic, blight or no blight.
We were glad to learn that the saw
mill people came to an agreement for
the land that they we're in search Of
for the erecting Of their mill. W.
think it will do much good towards
supplying the neighborhood with cheap
lumber.

Imports of Rice Into the United States.

The imports of rice into the United States during the eight
months ending February q, 1909 were rs 900 short tons, while the
imports Of rice flour, rice meal and broken rice were A. AL short
tons. The imports of rice into the United States are running along
at comparatively regular figures. As we have suggested in these
columns before, there seems to be something odd about the i'm
ports of rice -four, rice meal and broken rice, as they have ordi-
narily largely exceeded the imports of straight rice and, in fact,
have sometimes been about double in 4 quantity. As these varieties
of rice or rice products come in at a very considerably lower rate
of duty, tits sometimes feared that good. merchantable rice may
have been entered at these and have thus given Unfair competition
to our domestic rice.
