Well as soon as Prof Crow saw the
two little rabbits and the Scarecrow
he took his little Black Book out from
under his wing and then he turned TO
page One, Oh. Oh. and read:
Never hurry. nevery worry.
Never rush and never scurry,
Start in time and you'll get there:
SO the tortoise beat the hare"
Where did you get that wonderful
little Black Book ?" asked Uncle Lucky,
taking off his gogg1es and scratching
his left ear with his right hind foot.
That's my secret said the old black
bird, with a smile. and then he winked
his little black eyes and curied his
feathers with his beak.
"WelI, / wish had a little Black
Book" said the old gentleman rabbit.
Its full Of good things"
well. I'll tell you something. since
you are so fond OF my little Black
Book" said Prof sCrow. i've filled 1t
myself with all the good things l have
heard. You see. l first bought 1t at the
Three in One Cent Store. It was only
a Black Book with white pages inside.
but now it's almost full Of the good
things which I have written down.
And then the old crow took out his
fountain pen and looked very wise.
Listen" he said i've just thought OF
something:
Frogs from little tadpoles grow!"
And the old bird closed his book with
a bang and snapped his bill and Mapped
his wings, and after that he flew away.

GERMANY AND MASONRY.
A Correction From Grand Conn, andsr
Scottish Rite, in Belgium.


Editor the Washington Post: There
vas an article, in the Washington
Post, issue Of Aug. 30. 1918. by Mar
quise de F'onienoy which contained
several statements relative to Masonry
and the Masonic congress alleged to
have been held at Berlin the latter
part of last July that are so at varf-
ance with the true conditions that in
the interest OF truth and accuracy
this article is written.
1t is we'll known that Freemasonry
Is prohibited IN Austria and Bulgaria.
l. there are any Masons in Finland.
that is news. There are some in Hun.
gary and some in Turkey, but the
numbers are small. The kaiser is not
a Mason. and his feeling toward the
fraternity is shown by his prohibiting
the production of The Magic Flute,
the only Masonic opera ever written.
until all reference to Masonry had
been eliminated.
copy of the Post containing the
article was sent to Count Goblet d Al

vice president of the Belgian senate
and professor Of the University Of Bel
GUM. and who is the grand command
err OF the supreme council OF the thir-
ty-third degree of the Scottish Rite Of
Freemasonry IN Belgium. His reply is
dated Sept. IL, 1918:

! answer at once. as I am going to
leave on a mission for a couple of
weeks.
| do not believe that the article OF
the Washington Post contains a word
of truth or should have heard OF
it. 1t is absurd to speak of an inter-
national Masonic meeting in Berlin
which should have worked for pre-
mature end of the war. whether in
connection or not with delegate ele-
ments in France. French Freemasons
are absolutely patriotic. Our brethren
here have readily understood, besides.

FALL IN vssea yWe s,s FLAG.

e The drive for the combined fund
for war work by the various charitable
and helpful war activities will be on In
a few days, The activities TO be as
sisted are the Y. NJ, C, A., the Y. w.
G. A., community service, Salvation
Army, library work in the service, the
X. c., and the Jewish welfare board.
Now there is no argument between
the value of the work being accom-
plishcd by these activities. We know
enough about the work Of the SAL
walton Army and the "Y's" and the
*. Cs. in camps and in the field. The
work OF the Jews has not been so
prominently before US but all these
activities seek and accomplish the
same purpose. Certain racial, social
and religious differences make 1t ad-
visablc for each to conduct what is In
effect a bureau OF a great and neces-
sary movement. Under the orders OF
be made for all these activities at one
time and subscriptions made to the
big movemen+-instead of TO each par
ticular activity.
Now in service like this there is
neither creed nor race nor social
classification but one mighty impulse
TO assist and strengthen the men who
are doing our fighting, during our
dangers. What soul is 80 infinitely
small that it would deny any assist
ance and comfort possible to give to
any soldier because of creed, class or
color? In this day OF fire and iron
and of strain upon souls Of men let us
proceed upon the assumption that no
such 'bigot exists under the American
flag.
No canteen whether it is "" x. c.
or Hebrew asks any question of creed
of the soldier who comes YEARLY in
for cup of coffee. NJ credal or
social QUESTIONABLE goes with the
doughnuts fried in a Salvation Army
hut at the front. There is no color
line there. There is neither creed nor
class in a ten dollar bill. And those
who strive to write creeds and preju-
dices upon their gifts TO the soldiers
lack in their service 20 the soldier,
the cause that soldier serves and the
God above all soldiers and all causes
and above all of us.
And this is where a ten dollar bill
goes To the Y. NJ. c. A, s5.Ss: to
the Y. W. c. A. IS cents; to COM
munity service. SIS cents; to the library
fund, IS cents; TO the K C's., sl.1e; to
the Salvation Army. 2Oie cents, and
to the Jewish welfare, eOis cents.
And every cent of it, every dollar is
doing our work among our sons and
our neighbors sons and the sons of
the nations that are defending human
liberty; TO the glorious men OF
America and France and England and
Italy who are not arguing creeds or
assembling prajudices bu: crowding
Germany back to the line of surrender,
the fighting men Of the world, doing
your fighting and mine.
Fall in, all creeds and shades OF
religion and politics and skin behind
the great religion and the march of
political and personal liberty for all
men, fall in under the flag of allied
religions and classes and colors to de.
fend the first principles of religion
and organized society-human free

United states Marshal c. b. Shepherd
and County Agent Harley Walker and
ia ken before State Administrator Hor-

giving a census of his swine and was

CURB STOCK PRICES
MOVE GRAPHICALLY
Changes Generally Slight
Few Strong Spots in Trad
ing List. s.

The general tone in the curb market
yesterday was quiet. with erratic price
movements in most OF the issues. but
there were a few strong spots In the list.
Price movements of most of the securi-
ties were small. Principal attention was
again directed to Keystone Tire and
Rubber. which continued It's advance on
pool operations into new high ground
and showed gain of more than 2
points. Aetna Explosives was in good
demand In the late trading, advancing
about half n point, while the other war
shares were heavy, especially Submarine
Boat. In the oil section prices generally
were higher Houston. Oil gained, more
than a point. Important developments
are expe a.. to result from the annual
meeting.
Speclaltles generally were quiet But
terworth Judson advanced several points
but other quotations were unchanged.
Mining shares were less active, particu-
larly the Goldfleld stocks, which lost
most OF the recent advances.
Bond prices were firm. American
Tobacco notes were in demand and ad-
vanced fractionally and Cities Service
gained points. Liggett & Myers 6s
were stronger.

improving exports. increasing confidence
In tme goods trade situation and talk of
small crop figures from the Government

to 26.7S in the late trading. advancing
IS points from the close OF wednes-
day and 295 points from the low level
of Monday. That delivery closed at
26,T3. with the general list closing
strong at a net advance OF 40 TO SO
points.
After the close the bullish view of
the export outlook was strengthened by
reports that the British freight allot-
ment for January amounted to 500,
bales or $4,000 more than for Decem-
Der and by War Trade Board announce
ment regarding exports to Holland. The
text of this did not mention the guam
tity OF cotton involved, but statement
received from the local office of the De-
partment of Agriculture said that Hol-
land was, TO be furnished with raw cot
ton and goods equivalent to 10000
bales, of which approximately 100000
bales would probably be raw cotton.
