SANTA MARIA COUNCIL, 1928
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO
INITIATE A LARGE
CLASS.

On Saturday night, August End,
Santa Maria Council will conduct
across the hot sands, one of the
largest classes in its history, 1875
candidates are prepared to take
their degrees that night, the council
will be taxed to it's utmost to find
accommodations for the crowds who
will be attracted to witness the degree
work. 1t is estimated that a thou
sand knights will arrive from all
parts of the state, making it a prob
lem to take care of such a large num-
Der, but Algiers is equal to the task,
and never fails. All the notables
will be present, Hon. Paul A. Amis,
Past State Deputy, John X. Wegg-
man, State Deputy and VIM. J. Guste,
District Deputy. Several of the
highest dignitaries of the order will
journey from the far north to grace
the occasion with their presence. The
celebrated Chicago Team has been
procured to put on the degree work,
and they are known to be past mas
tiers at this work. 1000 knights
accompanied by two bands of music
will escort the candidates from the
hall to the services to be held in
the Holy Name of Mary Church
thence being conducted to the place
of initiation, st. Mary's Hall.
Santa Maria Council has proven
itself to be one of the most progress
sive councils in the state. Under
the wise administration of that en-
ergetic young Grand Knight, George
j. Forest, the council has forged
ahead with wonderful strides, and
by his tireless energy and fine exc
cutive ability has been placed on a
solid and lasting foundation. The
membership having doubled during
his encumbency, the building used
by the knights has proven to be in
adequate to Accommodate the increase
of members, the proprietors, the
Santa Maria Benevolent Society, have
decided to enlarge the building and
have appropriated $4,000 to build an
annex. 1t is the aim of the knights
to make their hall the finest and
best in Algiers, center of social ac-
tivities for the boys and girls and
friends of the Order.

FEW MEN DISCHARGED HERE.
algiers Navy Yard Will Let Out
Only 100 of 1850.

! Not more than 100 of the 1850 EN-
ployes at the United States Navy Yard
| at Algiers will lose their positions as
a result of the reduction throughout
the nation of the navy yard forces
necessitated by lack of appropriation
/ by Congress to maintain the work at
| its present standard.
! This was decided by Lieutenant
/ Commander George c. Manning, acting
! industrial manager of the yards, at a
meeting with his foremen and superin-
| tendentS at the naval station Tuesday
| afternoon when the financial situation
was threshed out. The appropriation
! for August, which was received Mon
day, showed a deficit of $4,000 the
amount for July having been 100000
compared with $50, 1000 for the ensuing
month, Lieutenant Commander Man
ming said. The men will be let out
July 81.
Lieutenant Commander Manning said
outside work done by the navy yards
employees here for the Shipping Board
and the army, such as repairing trucks
and doing general mechanical and en-
gineering work, would continue to
maintain from 20 to % per cent of the
men irrespective of the retrenchments
by the Navy Department for repairs
Of ships.
The situation is really better than
| had anticipated, Lieutenant Com
manGer Manning said Tuesday after
noon. "Of course, we had been antci-
pating a reduction for a long time. In
fact. the Navy Department notified us
last month there would be consider
able entrenchment for August feared
great slump and had begun to pre-
pare for it. But it did not appear to
be so bad when the appropriations
yesterday showed $50 1000. We estimat-
ed this afternoon We would not have
to let out more than about 100, eff
fective July 81.
Whether we shall have to prepare
to meet reduction each month from
now on, l do not know. But | hardly
think so. The department gave us
no notice to meet another reduction
for the next month, as it did for
August.
I'VE nave been letting out men from
time to time since the signing of the
aImistice, but it has been done SC
gradually it was hardly perceptible
The greatest number for any one
month was reached in June, when we
discharged forty men. The force has
thus been reduced from 1900 in No
vember-when we received an appro
priation of $4,000 from the Navy De
partment and outside proceeds fol
other work bringing the total to al
most S200,000-to 1150 in July.
There is still much ship repai
work to be done, and / am grateful
for the comparison we can make will
other yards throughout the country
The department announces today tn
force of $4,000 men in the various
shipyards will be reduced to $500
or perhaps $4,000 by next July. l d,
not look for another reduction her,
; soon and indications are we will b,

FARMER FINDS ROASTING EAR
IN SHAPE OF HAND.

Most farmers are complaining that
hands are hard to get. Louis Nit
chell, negro farmer of Nunez St., has
no cause for worry in that line since
his farm began to produce hands
right out of the soil. He found the
first one growing on corn stalk
along with a lot of ordinary "roas-
in ears"
The freak ear of corn is of shape
easily recognized by the most unim-
aginative as human hand and
wrist. Four fingers are plainly dis
tinguished and the thumb is vague
ly outlined The index finger is fin
ished off by something Louis declares
is a finger nail, and he maintains
there is no cob underneath the grains
of corn but "sho huff bone" He
says he showed the hand to doctor
who stuck his knife into it and said
the bone was the real thing.
Louis had gathered load of corn
to sell at the French Market and
Jeanette, his wife, was "shucking'
few ears for supper when she re-
vealed the hand by pulling off sew
eral layers of husks. Her excited
cries in mixed French and English
aroused the neighborhood and the
fame of the freak has spread al
over Algiers. People drop in all day
to view the curiosity.
Louis has not quite decided
whether the hand is Sign" Of any

that somebody has "hoodooed" hi

hand and keep it over the mantel
