~ CUADOR has a treasury OF
wealth in her vast cacao groves.
Cacao is cocoa. 1t is also
chocolate. Botanists and phi
loIogists have been telling the
public that the correct way to write
cocoa is cacao, but the ruling OF the
advertising man commands wider
reading than the decisions of scien-
lists, so as long as the public Is ad-
monished to Drink fulanos cocoa" in
two-foot type on every billboard, the
fashion in the name will favor the lat
ter spelling Outside of English-speak-
ing countries the scientific spelling
holds.
Chocolate is different in derivation.
1t is a corruption CT similar sound
ing Aztec word which, translated lit
orally, meant water from the choco."
Cortes transcribed this word as cacao,
and this completes its etymology. The
difference in spelling has led to a
useful trade distinction. Cacao now
signifies the raw and cocoa the FIN
ished product. Chocolate is a varia-
ton which will be explained later.
The cacao bean must not be con-
fused with the coca, the plant OF Peru
which yields leaf chewed by the
Indians for its stimulating properties
due to the cocaine content; nor with
the cola nut of West Africa. which
resembles it in slight degree chem
ically; nor yet with the cocoanut, to
which 1t has no relation.
The cacao tree is indigenous to Mex
leo, Central America, and part of
South America; but has become nat
uralized in Ceylon, the Philippines,
Kamerun and the gold coast. Thus it
is seen to be an essentially tropical
cultivation growing in areas of 20
degrees on either side of the equator.
Altitude has a direct influence on
suitability of location for cacao Guilt
walton, the plantations lying in a plane
from $50 to $500 feet high.
The tree was originally wild ever
green, growing from Is to 40 feet high
and bearing fruit in which the seeds
lie buried in a cucumber-shaped pod
five to ten inches long and three to
four inches thick. The seed, which is
the raw cacao of commerce, resembles
a thick almond in size and shape.
When ripe the pods are cut from the

English Parson Forms Fraternity
for Fair Sex.
Founder of Society Is RidicuIed by
World for Admitting Females to
Lodge-Masons Do Little but
Eat Dinners.

London.-There is nothing in Ma
sonry, according to Rev. DR.. Cobb,
founder of the Honorable Fraternity
of Ancient Masonry, that forbids the
inclusion of women, and he adds that
they are quite as capable of preserv-
ing the secrets of the society as the
men. So women are admitted to his
fraternity-and the rest of the Ma
sonic world is laughing.
Dr. Cobb Is the vicar of ST. Ethel

London, and it was here correspond

BUILDING UP A NEW WORD
Science Responsible for More Built
Up Words Than Classic English
Ever Dreamed OF.

"Esophagoscopy" is one of the
newest words which the scientist of
necessity has coined. AS science has
progressed in its many lines, it has
been responsible for more "built-up
terms than classic English could have
dreamed Of
Take this new word, "esophagos-
copy" 1t is a combination of the noun
''esophagus," meaning the channel
through which the food from the
mouth reaches the stomach, while
the last two syllables are made OF
''scope"-as used in telescope. micro
scope, spectroscope. Thus the COM
bination suggests a way and means
for allowing the surgeon to look down
the esophagus in search of foreign
distractions or of injuries to the or
gan.

BOY CHAMPION CORN GROWER
Eber kimbrough Of TaIlapoosa County
Raises 225 Bushels an Acre at
Cost of 10 Cents.

Birmingham, ALA lad of 16 years,
Eber A. Kimbrough, residing on his
fathers farm in Tallapoosa county,
Alabama, has just won the distinction
of being the champion corn grower
of the world, and captured two covet-
ed prizes.
The Central of Georgia Railroad
company offered prizes OF $3.50 mule
and a trip to Washington, Philadel-
phia. New York, Niagara Falls, Chi
cago and ST. Louis to the boy on its
lines who would grow the most corn to
the acre.
Young Kimbrough two years ago
determined to capture the prizes. He
also Joined the Boys Corn club of
Tallapoosa county at the suggestion
of Prof. L. N. Duncan of the agricul-
tural department of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, and went to
work to make a record on lowest
cost
There is only one yield in the worlds
record that exceeds Kimbrough's in
quantity-that of Jerry Moore of
South Carolina, who last year was &C
credited the champion corn grower.
Moore grew 22S bushels on the acre,
but it cost him 43 cents a bushel,
whereas Kimbrough has just meas
used out 225 bushels an acre at 10
cents bushel.

WOMEN IN MASONRY

consent is an old one. 1t Is the plea
that whatever is is right and that all
attempt at reform is wrong. Such OBJ
jections have been raised through all
ages, dating from the time when the
Pharisees objected to the preaching of
Christ In Palestine.
Furthermore, the feminist move
ment cannot be ignored. Looking
back on the events of the last few
years it can be seen how disastrous
has been the absence of a policy as
regards this movement, and the re-
suit has been course of events OF
which no nation can be proud. Such a
position is not one that Masonry can
afford to risk. To exclude woman as
a sex is to court early disaster, so let
us be beforehand and welcome her
gladly"
And you find that women keep the
great secret perfectly?"
Perfectly" replied DR.. Cobb. The
secrets of Masonry cannot be told"
