K NR. w. G. M'MEEKIN, the eff
 MI cient and popular secretary
 A treasurer of the Roebuck Golf and Country club, has every reason to be proud of the beautiful and successful af-
 fair on the Fourth of July, which marked the opening of this attractive club.
 For several weeks the club has been undergoing number of changes, and the cafe has been closed to members and visitors, but with the opening on Tues day, the club was restored to it's former l condition and the occasion was one of the really gala events of the summer | season.
 ] Hundreds of people enjoyed the hospi-
 tality of the club at that time; the Coun- try club membership had been invited to 1 join in the festivities, the golfers having a beautiful opportunity of spending the day on the links, while in the evening dinner-dance made the festivities un- ! usually attractive.
 The main feature of the opening was the wonderful manner in which MT. Mo- | Meekin handled the enormous crowds. Always capable and clever in his man. agement of the clubs affairs, MT. Me- Meellin fairly overshadowed all past rec ords for efficiency, by the easy, graceful manner in which the large numbers of guests on the Fourth were cared for, and the sumptuous luncheon and dinner which were served.
 It was estimated that approximately 175 guests were served at the luncehon hour, and at the dinner-dance 300 or more.
 There wasn't a hitch or a break dur ing the entire day and on every side the most flattering compliments were heard for MT. McMeel<in, whose splendid executive ability was displayed to a marked degree.
 Just at this time when Birmingham

Tn the first place." MT. McMeekin said, in speaking of the new kitchen and its furnishings, i've have placed a mar ble dust floor throughout the large and spacious rooms. This is absolutely the most sanitary arrangement that can be made for a kitchen. The accumulation of debris grease and that sort of thing can be easily eradicated and there is no possibility of germs. Our refrigerators are the very newest and best that can be bought; we have a separate refrige- rator room from the rest of the culinary department, and different compartments for milk, butter, meats and vegetables.
 ''In my opinion, the refrigerator is one of the most pernicious causes of disease" MT. McMeekin continued. Here, the slightest discrepancy in the care of food products may result in disastrous ef- fects. Milk and butter must be kept en- tirely clean and in sanitary vessels and the refrigerator itself must be spotless. In this respect I believe that we have achieved the most perfect results The milk we furnish to our guests is from our own dairy which is equipped with all the sanitary conveniences possible; the chickens we serve are grown right on the premises; also the squabs We have gen erally 1900 chickens in the yards, while from 1000 pairs of pigeons, we have 20,- 900 squabs a year, thus supplying our table from our own yards. On the Fourth of July we killed 34Olchickens, and if you had strolled out into the chicken yard the next morning you wouldn't have missed them, as there were so many left. Both the chicken and squab yards are sanitarily equipped with running water and the best of everything. I can truth fully say that none need be afraid of contracting disease through the medium of our foodstuffs or drinking water The fame of the pure spring water which we use is too well known to need comment, as Roebuck springs is one of the most historic points in Jones valley. The pool also is supplied from this spring, and altogether everything connected with the Roebuck Golf and Country club spells wholesomeness and freedom from germs and disease"

 Excellency and efficiency form the key note of the management and MT Me- Meekin has endeavored, with the hearty cooperation of the able president, MT. George Gordon Crawford, and the board of directors, to equip the culinary de- partment with the latest and most sani-

Habit Of Saving.


The United States is thriftier than
it is commonly given credit for being.
because statistics most frequently
quoted do not give all savings depos.
its, and because vast deal of savings
goes on outside of savings institutions.
Yet it does not live up to its oppor.
tunities by a long way. One Of the
country's ablest business men said not
long ago that anyone could tell wheth.
er he was going to succeed or fail by
his ability to save. II he could not
save he could not succeed. At any
rate, inability to save. for q man with
an income above the bread line and
no unusual i'll luck, implies a lack of
self.control that is not conducive to
success.
Like nearly everything else, 1t is q
matter Of habit. and, with little de.
termination to begin with, the right
habit is as easily formed as the wrong
one. Try 1t this year.-saturday Eve.

understand how Easement was allowed to
90 and come at will In Germany and that
& no light had been shed upon this by the
defense.
j, Immediately upon the conclusion Of the
Attorney Generals address, Baron Reading,
the Lord Chief Justice, began charging the
s jury.
In defining high treason Baron Reading
said that, if one of the six overt acts
charged against the prisoner was found
properly proved, then that meant that
verdict of guilty should be returned II
was not necessary, the Lord Chief Justice
said, to find the whole six proved II the
prisoner knew his actions were helping
enemies OF England, them although he had
another ulterior motive. he was aiding and
abetting the enemy. If Easement knew
that the landing of men in Ireland might
produce civil war and embarrass the Gov
ernment, then he wd1ld be aiding people
hostile to England, Baron Reading pointed
out.
The charge was soon completed and the
Jury retired at o'clock.
Sir Roger, who was arrested in April while
trying to land arms and ammunition In Ire
land for the revoiutionists was placed on
trial last Monday.
There were two lines OF defense First,
that the offense II any, was committed out
side the realms of England, and second
Easement did not plot to aid the enemies OF
England, but to help the Irish people to
freedom.
Daniel Julian Bailey. the private soldier
who was arrested with Easement, was exon
Grated of the high treason charge against
him by the Verdict OF the jury, He was
ordered discharged by the court, Bailey
was not arraigned with Easement. and II
was announced at the time Sir Rogers trial
started that he would be arrRigned later.
1t Ia understood that the lenlency toward
the soldier resulted from information which
he had given the Government.
