ed by them to him as token of their
love and esteem. To the tune of "One

gathering sang the blessing engraved
on that teapot:
BE present, at our table, Lord,
BE here and everywhere adored;
"These creatures blefs and grant
that we
"May feast in paradise with thee"
10 the same tune, after the banquet,
was sung the thanks, also engraved on
the teapot:
eve thank thee, Lord, for this, our
food,
"But more because of Jesufs blood.
LET mama to our souls be given,
"The Bread of Life, sent down from
Heaven"

LOVDEN To SPEND
$4,000 TO DRAIN
SOUTH DENDPLACE
Contract fer Eighteen Miles
Of Drainage Canals and
bitches Awarded.

L rank y. LoWden, governor-elect of
!llinols, and q man whose fortune runs
INTO seven figures or more, is spend

recuperatlng from the recent cam

plans tor extensive improvements on
the valuable property.
MI LoWden has as his guests Col. f..
A. Lester Of Chicago, and they plan
to leave for home Monday. They
have been at South Bend the past ten
days OF so, and during that time the
spacious and luXuriously furnished
plantation home has been the sccra
OF much social activity, as the neigh
bors and friends from all this section
of the state have taken advantage of
the opportunity to call and extend
their congratulations over MI. Low
denis recent victory at the polls in
| Illinois.
There are about $4,000 acres in the
South Bend plantation, about 1000 be-
ing in cultivation. There are about
2,700 acres Of cotton on the place,
and fair crop was produced this sea-
son. It is the practice on the planta-
ton to raise all the feed needed for
the livestock, and the raising Of hogs
and other livestock is another custom.
The stock is all of the highest grade
and pure blooded, and the herds are
constantly increasing In size, just as
the area of cultivated land is showing
continuous increase each year.
Already the plantation has equip
ment as high class and complete as
can be found on any plantation in the
SOUTH Every possible convenience is
provided, the buildings are all of the
highest class Of construction, and it is
in every respect model farm, due to
the liberal expenditure Of money, with
clear and definite knowledge that the
investment will prove profitable and
will bring large returns in the years
soon to come.
A contract for drainage system,
which will drain all the lands on the
place, has been awarded to r. H. Nc
Williams & company of Memphis, at
q price of Approximately $35, 900, and
already the contractor has begun as
sembling his machinery and materials,
to start the work at once. The con-
tract is to be completed in eighteen
months. There will be about eighteen
miles Of drainage bitches, mains and
laterals, and when the work is COM
pleted there will be perfect drainage
on the plantation, even in the many
thousands of acres of tinnbered lands.
The drainage bitches will empty into
Cypress bayou.
Capt. J. D. Crockett, manager of the
big plantation, was enthusiastic yes
terday when discussing the plans for
the drainage work.

A ST. Louis physician has challeng-

germ duel, each to select two disease
and three health germs and then
swap. After that each is to pick out
the three health germs and innoculate
himself. Sounds very scientific and
reasonable, but the health commission
err gave the proposition the once over,
and nearly fell dead. He says he will
take what germs are thrust on him,
but no more, thank you, healthy or

unnecessary added rows. Everything

The three best-liked developments of
the fur neckpiece are the pelt of the
fox with head, tai. and legs repre-
sented in almost their original SHAPED
the square cape, and the fiat scarf.
Short-haired furs are selected for the
long, soft scarfs and many of the
square capes, although the latter are
made up In all the popular furs.
Fox is in the ascendant and new
worlds, peopled with foxes, would seem
to be required to supply the demand
for this long, soft fur. Bat many
another pelt masquerades as fox with
such good effect that they frankly de-
clare themselves imitations-if anyone
really wants to know about it.
Skunk is more durable and rather
more costly than the average fox, and

1t is harder fur. Wolf, coyote. and
opossum are all dyed and cleverly ma
nipulated for fur sets and fur band
lngs, aud the muskrat and millions of
rabbits are furnishing pelts that are
transformed into rich-looking furs.
In spite of the search for new fur
Bearing territories furs grow more and
more expensive, so that really good
skins should be well cared for. The
