a Curious Marine Monster.

One of the horrors of the sea is the
great ray of Florida waters. Schools
of them are often seen playing on the
surface of the bayous or in the iniets.
Their immense black fms rise and fall
in the water like the tapping wings Of
buzzards or vultures. The great ray
shows on it's head protuberances re-
sembling horns. features that give
them the appearance of the conven-
tional devil as they disport themselves
on the surface Of the water 1t is
said that these monsters sometimes at
tain the weight of thousand pounds,
and mariners have averred that great
ray has unwittingly towed vessel by

Fattening hogs should have. the feed and attention necessary for fast growth and develop ment. A given quantity feed whh make more pork in the fall when the weather is mild than it w1E in cold winter weather. Craze them on soy beans. sweet pota- toes, peanuts, cowpeas, etc, so as to cut down the amount of cnxns that would be necessary to grow and fatten them. However 1t will be well to put them in pens for three or four weeks and fin ish with corn. This will make firmer meat and lard than to kill right off from pasture.

A PLEA FOR THE BOW

How shall we induce our mem bers to wear the white ribbon? Can we not devise a way or en- volve a plan whereby we may re- member to adopt it as a part of our costume? At a recent social function attended by eleven white ribboners, there were two white bows! And yet most of these women were true to the cause in other respects. At the Worlds Convention at Boston in 1896, one of the foreign delegates com plained that American women leave their bows behind wren travelling abroad. It seems every where the case with, of course notable exceptions.
 How many of us are conscious of our limitations. We wish we were great and talanted, t h a some powerful work might de- velop under our Supervision.
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-10-24

No sort of movement for rural cooperation or for the develop ment of a greater rural civillzat ion can win large success Eunless it recognizes and makes room for the country women; and 1t is also true that the men will never or ganize the women. Our farm women must themselves develop leaders for their own work Pro gressive Farmer.
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-10-24

But since it can not be, save to the favored few. we must be contented to do the little things. So. an equal duty and privilege falls to the lot of all to wear the white ribbon. What may seem a trivial matter may prove i'm portant in its results. Doubt less many of you recall a story published last autumn in Union Signal of a boy on the very brink of destruction, ready to enter the saloon door, being rescued by seeing a woman wearing the badge.
 Mother Sweeny relates an in- cident of prisoner behind the bars being brought to Christ by this insignia of the order. A national worker recently in our midst said that when the conduct or on the train noticed her white ribbon, he would often ask her to protect a friendless boy or girl travelling alone.
 One of our 'faithfuls" sews a bow to every dress she has, and her string "lest she forget. ]" Another keeps the reminder in her pincushion, and another a box of bows on her dressing table. If you know of w. C. T. U. friend who is to take a journey, provide her with a num- Der of the above mentioned arti- cles with pin attached, all ready to wear, or present her with an enameled pin.
 Another reason: The white ribbon is in itself an introduction. It may lead us to form pleasant acquaintances. "One who be- longs" may meet another through this influence, and while away many hours which would be drearily spent. for in the white ribbon army the circle of love ex- tends throughout the w h o e world.
 Let us prove our loyalty by the presence of the emblem and all for which it stands, for peace,

Cedar Rapids. June 10.-The city OF
Cedar Rapids, and especially the
twelve hundred or more Masons In the
city, are deeply interested in the rec
concentration made today at the Ma
Bluffs, by the retiring grand master,
Hon. Wlliam Hutchinson, OF Alton.
Judge Hutchinson, III his annual re-
port, recommends that Gear Rapids
be made the permanent headquarters
of the grand louge. and that Il building
suitap1e for grand lodge purposes b.
ultimately erected on the ground
owned by the grand body III this city.
Center Of Iowa Masonry.
For number OF Years many Masons
turnout the state have been 1avora bic
to the idea of having this city made
the permanent meeting place of the
grand lodge. This sentiment is due TO
| the fact that Cedar Rapids is in reality
the center of Iowa Masonry. For years
this city has been the home of the
grand secretary, and here is located
| the world famous Masonic library. the
only institution of it's kind in the coun-
try, with it's great treasures ana its
priceless volumes. Cedar Rapids is u
Masonic Mecca, and an increasing
number of grand lodge members feel
that it ought to be the permanent
headquarters.
Lodge ow : Quarter Block.
The grand l.uge owns a quarter
block Of gro . at the intersection of
First avenue and Eighth street in this
city. 1t has for years owned the Ma
sonic library site, and few years ago
acquired by purchase an area adjoin-
ing and as large as the original
grounds. Gu this recently acquired
part is large residence which is used
as an annex to the library.
May Build Auditorium.
If the grand lodge acts favorably on
the recommendation Of the Grand mas
ter 1t is expected a large building with
an auditorium seating at least 1000
people. will be erected on the annex
grounds. The lot is all free from debt,
and the only additional cost would be
for the building.
1t is probable that if the granI lodge
endorses the recommendations of the
grand master, local Masons would de-
sire to have a building large enough
to accommodate local lodge meetings,
with banquet rooms, etc.
