A PLEASANT VISIT.

George II. Cowell, James R.
Hudson, Henry Wiseman, j. C.
Cowell and myself visited the Odd
Fellows Home at GAINESVILLE May
30. Leaving Camden at 4 a. m.
Sunday we arrived at Big Sandy
in time to catch the odd Fellows
Special" already overlooking with
"the boys" The view from Big
Sandy to GAINESVILLE was new to
us, and this gave added interest to
the trip.
On arriving at GAINESVILLE we
were met by a committee and con-
veyed to the home, the climax Of
our trip-l93 bright and innocent
children, whose parents were dead
and they were being cared for by
the Odd Fellows, and L want to say
right here, brethren, the home is
everything that could be desired
as to location, arrangement and
management; it is gu institution
that ought to make every Odd
Fellow fell proud that he is con-
tributing to it's support. l am
sure that if any of the brethren
will visit the home, they will re-
turn more determined than ever to
uphold our cause.
While at the home we were en-
tertained by the children, and L
want to assure you that it was fine
and we enjoyed the splendid, we'll
executed program to the utmost
At to the horne, it seems it could
hardly be improved upon, unless
enlarged. Everything was in per-
feet order. The dining hall has a
seating capacity OF about 2OO.
Each child marches to his or her
place, and at the tap of bell they
all return thanks.
1 want to cay that should / be
called hence, I would die satisfied
to leave my children in the care of
those noble hearted, high minded
caretakers of the Tennessee Odd
Fellows Home. In conclusion, I
advise every Odd Fellow to visit
the home and see for himself. 1t
is like bread cast upon the waters;
it will be gathered together many
days hence.
Fraternally yours,
ERNEST II. SMoTHERs.

Despite his pleadings, the hos

However, he has an abundant sup

REGULATING OUR TRADE.

NEW BEEF SUPPLY.

Inc occasional inclusion of beef as part of the oargoes recently arriving in New York from Brazil indicates a new and possibly an important source of food supplies eventually for this country. Before the opening of the war last year Argentine beef and Aus .rallan mutton had begun to supple ment the domestic supply of beef Re- latively II was not large addition to but il gave promise of increase. The mar. with the European market, at once diverted this business away from American ports. At the same time 1t increased the demands of the United states for outside food supplies. The

With the present small beginnings along this line capital has been furnished both by Americans and Brazilians. But capital Is not plenti- ful in Brazil and if the beef export Is to be on a large scale the backing of the wealthy beef interests in this country doubtless will be needed and obtained.

THE ONLY GIRL

Victor Herbert Comic Opera
Has Attractive Music and
Novel Presentation

A fair-sized audience witnessed the
first of three performances in this city
of Joe Weber's musical comedy. The
Only Girl" In this production Weber
has proceeded along lines which are
far from those prescribed for the
average show of the musical comedy
type. but. in all. the deviations COM
bine to present a musical comedy in
far more interesting manner than
the old way. Audiences have become
accustomed to musical comedies
wherein have been no male choruses,
but when Joe Weber started 1.-THE Only
Girl in manner which strongly re-
minded one of a straight comedy he
gave the unusual touch to this his
by Victor Herbert is recommen-
dalton in itself for the piece. Attract
I've and pleasing, the music of The
Only Girl in spots strongly reminds
one of the work in one of his former
successes. The Red Mill" the vehicle
few years ago.
THE Only Girl" story hinges around
four men who have always been the
hest of friends and upon the occasion
of their meeting again three of them
announce that they have found the
ohiy girls III the WOrlu TOT IneIl, anu
against the advice of one of their
number. Alan Kimbrough, announce
their determination to marry. Con-
.nubial bliss in a short space of six
weeks gives place to unhappiness on
the part of. the three who have mar
ried. but this in no way deters KIM
brough from announcing his intention
to marry the only girl" who is his
collaboration on the new opera he is
producing.
The entire play in itself is clean and
wholesome. but unfortunately in sew
eral instances there has been intro
duced that disregard in the use of
the names of the Deity with which
the play could get along as well with

the vulgar was reached.

Adele Hasson, 1t must be said that she
filled her role most capably, as did
also Ellen and Lydia Crane. Helen

Cakes by Mail

OahCo w hAul
A baker, for instance, was ap-
preached and it was suggested to him
that there were many post offices near
Washington that were not reached by
the express companies, but which
might use his product if he would
ship 1t by parcel post, 1t was found
that the expense of sending a loaf of
bread worth five cents would be a
cent and half This was rather
more than the traffic would bear But
cake was a different proposition. 1T
was worth more in proportion to it's
weight and had better keeping
qualities. One baker put u salesman
out on the road in the territory ad-
jacent to Washington and sold 92S
pounds of cake In the first two weeks
He now has profitable business
among these villagers, who have the
privilege of buying store cake" by
mail whenever they want it.
Another by-product of trade drum
ming on the part of the Washington
post Office during the past season was
the handling of half ton of chest
nuts each day. which had been gather
ed by the boys of the adjacent coun-
try and sent in to the commission mer-
chants for sale. Hundreds of young
sters made pin money in this way.
In many ways Washington has set
the pace for the country in new
methods of postal efficiency. Among
other things a new post office build
ing has recently been completed which
has number of unusual features. In
the first place. 1t is located right next
to the central and only railway sta
ton of the city. This saves the time
and expense of hauling the mail
The Washington post office was
planned, insofar as its interior is con-
cerned, by a committee of superin-
tendents of mails. These technical
men saw to It that in the handling of
malls all lost motion would be elimi-
mated and that every letter would be
fastened on its way. Within this
building all the running around is
done by machinery, the belt and car
rier system operating on every floor.
and between all floors.
So effective were the reforms in
augurated by this newspaperman. who
became postmaster at Washington.
that he has been called to the posi-
tion of Second Assistant Postmaster
General and delegated the task of
broadcasting his methods throughout
the country.
