Lock Box So, Maurice, Ia.-"ln the

1--WE years, had q breaking out on her

took for ringworm. It resembled =
large ringworm, only It differed In
that It was covered with watery bis

Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she

II was realized as soon az Ballington
issued what might be termed an ulti.
matum that his loss to the movement
would be enormous. But his father
was immovable. He said he exacted
obedience from the lowly officers and
he could not exempt those In exalted
commands, even though they be his
own sons and daughters.
He was urged to compromise or do
something to save Darlington and his
brilliant and devoted wife to the move
ment. He was told that their seces-
sion would mean the complete over
throw Of the Salvation Army in the
United States. But these gloomy pre-.
dictions failed to move him. He In
sisted on obedience. He may be
wrong. his judgment may be defective,
but there was no middle course. Bal
lington was d soldier and he who
would command must be ready and
willing to obey.
The friends Of the then commander
in the United States urged him to re-
sign and organize a new move
ment which would be democratic in

LARGE EXODUS FROM BERLIN
Laborinu Class to Farms, Wealthy to
suburbs-Populatlon Rapidly
Decreasing.

Berlln-The population Of Berlin Is
decreasing. Not only are the laboring
classes moving out to tho country TO
find work, but the wealthy are forsak'
ing the city for more pretentious
homes in the nearby suburbs. The
exodus has been so steady during the
past eight months that Berlin today
has over Al 900 less inhabitants than
1t had on March 1.
The present year is the only one to
show q decrease in population since
1873. For six years past the rate OF
increase has been comparatively Slow
but as recently as 1906 there was q
gain Of $4,000 in IL months. Now the
tide has turned the other way, and the
municipality is alarmed over the de-
parture of 10 milllonaires, In the Ger
man sense, in the three months ended
June 30. The city's tax receipts are
correspondence reduced.
The loss this year appears to be not
wholly due to the movement or the
people into into suburban towns, for
such prosperous neighbors as Char
lottenburg and schoeneberg also show
small losses, and the gains in other ad'
jacent municipalities are not large
enough to account for the removals
from the capital. The demand for Ia
Dor in greater Berlin this year has
been very slack, and in spite OF the
emigration to fields where work can
be secured, the number OF the un'
employed is assuming alarming proper
tions. Even the building trades. which
normally employ many thousands re-
port very limited activity.

MARKING THE EARLY LAYERS
Band Placed on Leg Of PulIet Begin
ming to Lay in October Helps in
Selection Of Breeders.

The pullets that begin laying first
are as rule the best layers; 1t is
from these pullets and hens that we
should hatch our breeding birds. Col
ored leg bands are useful for marking
birds with special points; red band
on the leg of each pullet that begins
to lay in October will make the selec-
ton of breeders next spring easier.
The Missouri state poultry experiment
station this year had fifty pullets bred
from good layers which began to lay
when a little over four months old. In
every case the pullets that began to
lay first came from the highest laying
hens. OF the thirteen pullets that be-
gan laying first. three were Buff Leg
horns, two Barred Plymouth Rocks,
four White Leghorns, one Ancona. one
Campine. one Rhinelander, and one
White Orpington. The Barred Rocks
and the White Orpngton weighed
from three and half to four pounds
each; all the others from two and a
half to three and fourth pounds
each.

II the loaiing Negro and the other

labor?
My dear readers, the above is an "if."
If these United States of America
should become involved in the pres.
ent war, we, the colored. people of the
South, stand ready to give our serv-
ices, property and lives for the peace
and prosperity of the southland. Nor
would we sneak from the battlefield
and hang around the cook pot. We
are ready to fall in line and advance
in pursuit Of the enemy. 1t is true,
when the North and South we're fight
ing, our fathers and mothers we're
left behind to care for the families
and farms. And when master" came
back from the battlefield he found
everything better than he left It.; all
the corn had been planted and all the
land had been broken up.
We want the good white people Of
the southland to ever remember that
the blood of the old reliable, trust
worthy nanny" and uncle" is still
in the South. We realize that those
who refuse to give us justice at times
are the ones who have forgotten the
good deeds of the old Negro nanny"

traced the old nanny" and uncle"
veins traces their sons and daughters

In the midst of the war situation, 1t
is sincerely to be hoped that the gen.
eral public will not forget the needs
of such institutions as the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial institute, To-
Gated in Alabama, in the heart of the
South.
Whatever conditions may arise, It is
of the highest importance to continue
without interruption to give that
training which will insure the pros
perity OF the South and peaceful rela-
tionships between white people and
black people.
After deducting all sums likely to
be received from stated sources, in
and friends of the school, there re-
main to be raised this year by the
principal of Tuskegee institute in the
form OF $50 scholarship, or otherwise,
for current expenses, about s125,000.
The amount referred to not only in
cludes the direct expenses of the
school for the work on the grounds,
but the extension work. which infiu-
ences and reaches a large part of the
far South. Even the smallest amount
will be gratefully received and
promptly acknowledged.
The work of the institute is now so
thoroughly established, and its great
value to the Negro people and to the
nation so fully demonstrated, that the
school should not be allowed TO suffer
in its need for current expenses.
