RESOLUTIONS FOR
 DIR. PRESTON BLAKE

The following resolutions called forth by the resignation of Dr. Pres- ton Blake, have been adopted by the Southside Baptist church:
 ''The Southside Baptist church hav- his earnest solicitation, accepted the resignation of its beloved pastor, Pres : ton Blake; therefore,
 Be 1t resolved, first, That we rec ognize with sincere gratitude the splendid constructive work of pr. Blake during his 10 years of service as our pastor; we recall that when he came to us we were without an ade- quate place of worship and somewhat confused as to the future outlook under his wise and efficient leadership we have grown into strong and har- monious congregation, with splen- did house of worship. But as great as have been our material blessings, they are insignificant when compared with the moral and spiritual upbuilding which have been wrought through this stalwart man of God, and we feel that his leaving us is a distinct loss not only to our own church, but to the en- tire city and state as well.
 "2 This church feels that it has been peculiarly fortunate and blessed i'll having had such an able and conse- crated preacher, and such loving and sympathetic pastor. During his work among us we have all come to hoiu for him and his family the deepest love and esteem. so that when he leaves it will mean to each of us a keen, personal loss. But wherever he may go he will always remain en- shrined in the heart of each and ev- cry member of this church.
 "3. We extend to pr. Blake and his family our most cordial and hearty good wishes in the new field to which the Master has directed him. May God's richest blessings attend his labors and may he meet with that measure of success which he so richly deserves is the parting wish of every member of this church.

WEALTH OF UNITED STATES
By HOLLAND

in time of panic, to secure the cooper ation of the clearing house for the pur- pose of throwing up defenses against
 spread of panic, for there has been
 no panic.
 When Albert Galatin, at the age of
 so, made the first suggestion which,
 when adopted, formed the foundation of the New York Clearing House as- sociation, he could not have imagined,
 although his imagination always reach
 ed far into the future, the magnitude of present day operation of the New York Clearing House association. Neverthe- less, what MT. Gallatin suggested in fS41 contained the germ of the New York Clearing House association and
 the growth from that germ has been normal and in perfect sympathy with the development of the material pros- perity of the United States It Is an interesting fact associated with the clearing house that these enormous yearly transactions entail very little cost, relatively speaking. The largest salary paid is understood
 to be $20,000, for services given by a competent examiner whose reports are confidential.

ANNISTON GIVES
 SOLDIERS CONCERT
Returns From the Worlds Series Baseball Game Entertained
 Thousands on Sunday

k Anniston, october 7.-(Special) That the people of Anniston are enthusiastically in favor of send ing American troops to France was strikingly exemplified here this afternoon when 2O00 people, civilian men and women and sol. diers from five states that packed the New Noble theatre for Red cross benefit concert insisted on encore after encore as the splendid First New Jersey band played .sOver There"
 On the first encore the big audi torium took up the refrain and the theatre was made to echo with the idea that Uncle Sans men will go lover there" and not come back until the world is made safe for democracy.
 The concert afforded an oppor. tunity for several hundred negro men and women from the churches of the city to do their bit for the Red Cross and to help entertain Anniston's soldier visitors. Their solos and plantation songs were excellent, several of the numbers calling for encores. It was the first time many of the soldiers from the east had ever heard negro melodies and they were most ap- preciative of the efforts of the choir. A very large collection was taken for the Red Cross work here.

DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
"Garden of serpents," in Brazil. Is Maintained for the Production
 of Serums.

Brazil's Garden of Serpents' Is one some, repulsive sights in the world, and is maintained purely for scientific purposes. It is located at Butanta, Brazil, and occupies in all some TOO acres. Here are the laboratories which produce serums for the cure and pre- vention of the effects of snake bites. The snakes used in preparing the serums are kept in a small park, con- taining numerous dome-shaped shel- ters, which Is surrounded by wall and a ditch filled with water. Other specimens are kept in a similar park near the main building, in order to study their habits, favorite food, the very diverse yenomous properties of various species, and the best method of escaping their attacks. The hot and moist forests of Brazil contain many venomous serpents, but the slightest reptiles, which attack only those per sons and animals that tread on them or destroy their lairs. The principal families are the Bothrops and the Cro- tales, or rattlesnakes. The Bothrops venom decomposes the blood and pro- duces internal hemorrhage, with in- tense congestion of the liver, kidneys and brain, while the venom of the Gro- tales paralyzes the respiration, circu- lation and vision, and usually causes death within twenty-four hours. Each venom requires its special antidote. The laboratory heads prepare a serum for each, and also polyvalent, or com- pound serum, which Is effective against all Brazilian snake venoms, for use when the species of the attacking snake is unknown. The serums are ob- tained from young and sound horses and asses, which receive, at intervals of five or six days, injections of venom, increasing from one-twentieth milli- gram to one gram. A years treatment Is required to produce perfect immun- ity and an effective serum. The poly valent serum Is obtained by injecting the venoms of Bothrops and Crotaies alternately. The animals thus immun- ized furnish antivenom serum for a long time If they receive a fresh in- lection of venom after each extraction of serum. Tubes of serum, with hypo- dermic syringes, are sent gratuitously to hospitals, municipalities and poor patients. Others are sold at low prices or exchanged for live snakes. Serums for pest, diphtheria and tetanus also are produced by the usual methods.

RYE.
Fine Pasture Crop.

One of the best crops to be used for fall. winter and early spring pas ture is rye. This cereal is very hardy and seldom winter-kills in this state It makes a rapid growth and does we'll during weather too cool for wheat or oats. As green manure crop it is ready to be turned under ir the spring before either wheat or oats. It is a very suitable crop to be planted between rows of cotton even on poor soil, for pasture or green manure.
 The Abruzzi variety which is be- coming popular at least in the south em two-thirds of the state, is some what earlier than common rye and as a rule produces larger and better grain. At Monticello, Abruzzi rye was much more satisfactory than common rye. Abruzzi rye is not as hardy as common rye in northern districts of the state. Rye is usually planted at the rate of four pecks per acre. It can be planted somewhat later than wheat, but otherwise the culture lf 12e

gradually work in the remainder of the wheat flour, which has been sifted with the eornmeal. Knead the mixture un- til a smooth and elastic dough has been formed, which is fairly soft, but not sticky. If the dough Is too stiff, or too soft, add little more water or -four as required, kneading we'll after each addition. Cover and set back to rise again until double in volume, which will require from one to two hours. Knead lightly, divide into three or four approximately equal portions, reserving a small ball of dough for an indicator" Place this ball of dough in small jelly glass having straight sides, which has been slightly warmed. Note the volume of dough in the tum- bier and mark the glass at twice this volume.
 Mold the loaves and place in slightly warmed and greased pans. Place these, together with the glass contain ing the indicator" in the same warm place and let rise until the indicator" shows that it has just doubled in vol ume. Then place the loaves in the oven, which should be at good steady heat (400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit), and bake 45 to 90 minutes.
 In the second method the ingredi- ents are used in the same proportions as for the first, except the liquid. The directions are as follows
 Put two and two-thirds cupfuls (three-quarters of pound) of corn meal into a double boiler or vessel which can be placed over another one containing boiling water. Add to the meal three and one-half cupfuls of cold water; mix thoroughly and bring to the boiling point, stirring frequently. AL low the meal to steam for at least ten minutes, then cool it until lukewarm. To this scalded and cooled meal add the salt, sugar, one cupful of four and the yeast, rubbed smooth and mixed with two cupfuls of lukewarm water. Mix thoroughly, cover and set in moderately warm place to rise as di- rected in method No. 1. When this batter Cor sponge) has become very light, which will require about two hours, beat it thoroughly, add the soft ened shortening, if it is to be used, and the remainder of the white flour (two pounds or quarts). Knead thoroughly until it is smooth and elastic. Should the dough be either too stiff or too soft add water or flour little at a time, working it in thoroughly, until the dough is of the proper consistency. Cover and set back in its warm place to rise until double in bulk. Then mold into loaves and finish as directed under method No. 1.
