FRAZER SAYS STATEMENT NOT
 TRUE

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-The applica- ton of Dr. J. w. John of Pine Bluff and others for the appointment of a Master to make an accounting of the affairs of the Arkansas Grand Lodge A. o. U w., will be heard tomorrow in Pulaski Chancery Court. The plaintiffs allege irregularities in the handling of lodge funds and assump- tion of authority on the part of some of the officers. All allegations of the misuse of funds and improper off cial action are denied emphatically by John R. Frazer, Grand Master Workman, who asks that the public withhold judgment until the issues are settled by the courts. Within a few hours after the suit was filed, MT. Frazer summarily removed Dr. John from the office of Grand Medical Ex- aminer, which position he has held for several years.
 Mir. Frazer says that all invest ments made by the Grand Lodge have been made by the Board of Directors and that all of them are a safe guar anty of the funds of the Order. The total assets of the jurisdiction in 1916 were 235,131.75, which have in- creased to more than S500.00O at the present time. During the year 1918 and 1919 the immense sum of S255.- 261.62 was paid in death claims. of which about S100,000 was due to the influenza epidemics. Duing the last four years the total receipts of the Grand Lodge from all sources were S1,10S,137.03 and the total disburse- ments for the same period. S1,115,- 971.52. The order now has total membership in the state of nearly 12,000 an increase of 5000 since MT. Frazer became Grand Master Work man.
 One of the charges made is that MT. Frazer has invested A. O. U. w. funds in the Victory Oil company stock. In answer to this charge MT. Frazer says: 'It is true that I am president of the Victory Oil company and am proud of it. I am glad to be at the head of million dollar home concern which has paid it's stockholders forty per cent of their investment in less than a year, many of them being members of the A. o. U. w., but positively deny that one cent of A. o. U. w. funds have been invested in Victory Oil Stock or that employees of the A. o. U. w. have been employed to sell stock in the oil company while acting as such or that they have been paid salaries

APPLE JENNIE WAS RIVER
 CHARACTER
Made Big Fortune and Educated Hel
 Daughter

In the early seventies, when steam boats along the Memphis levee were so thick they could hardly find landing place, there was an aged woman known to all river men, captains as well as rousters. They called her "Ap- pie Jennie"
 When she went on board a boat to dispose of apples, oranges, bananas, there was little dark-eyed girl cling ing to her skirt. It was her daughter. Finally the child disappeared. It brought many questions from officers on boats, who had grown to like the child because she would si ng and dance for them.
 When a captain would ask Jennie where her daughter had gone she all ways replied: "She be away off there. Yo' no see her again, maybe"
 Every day rain or shine, hot or cold, Apple Jennie" was peddling her fruits among the crews of boats. She is said to have had a remarkable mem- ory. If negro rouster wanted to nuy some apples or oranges when the boat was passing up or down the river and did not have the cash, Jennie credited him. She always collected on his nsxt trip. It might be several weeks be- fore that rouSter returned, but when he did Jennie was after her money.
 She knew every rouster by the name the mates called him. There was Big Foot" Andy" Harry" Few Clothes or anything else he was known by. The same name went with Jennie.
 As years passed Apple Jennie grew feeble. Occasionally she was missed. Word came to the wharves that she was at home ill She lived upstairs in an unkempt room on North Front Street.
 When boats began to drop out vf their trades because of lack of busi- ness, Apple Jennie" said her busi- ness career was nearing an end, but she kept going to the wharf. | One day when a fine St. Louis pack ct was putting off freight Jennie wab- bled on board. She scampered to the cabin with more agility than she had shown in years. She went to the clerk, Harry Proctor.
 "I want to see young woman on this boat" she said
 What do you want with her Jen- nie 2" asked Proctor.
 Never you mind; have some busi- ness with her"
 Proctor thought the old woman's mind was wandering. While talking to her pretty girl came from one of the staterooms. She spied Apple Jennie' and ran to her with open arms
 Mother" was all the young woman said.
 Apple Jennie" stood for a minute then clasped the young woman in her arms. Itswas her daughter. She had been educated in convent in the east, had joined an opera company that had played St. Louis onA was on it., way ot New Orleans for winter engage ment. She had become a prima donna but was known by another name.
 A few years later Apple Jennie died in ths same ll't;e room sine had lived in for many years. She left a fortune said by old steamboat men to have been half million. Some of it consisinG of government bonds, but So far as known all the money invested by her was from her sales of fruit on the levee.-Commercial Appeal.

CANNING DEMONSTRATION BY
 NEGRO CLUB GIRLS

One of the most interesting features of the work with women and girls at the negro farm conference at the Branch Normal College at Pine Bluff August 10 to 13 was the canning con- test put on by the negro club girls of the state Six counties were repre- sented in the contest-Lee, Conway, Mississippi, Miller, Drew and Monroe.
 The six girls, dressed in complete canning club girls uniforms, stood be- fore the crowd of two hundred or more negro women and girls, told in clear cut sentences the methods that they had used in growing a tenth acre of tomatoes and in canning the products therefrom. At the same time they showed to the audience a speciman jar of the products put up and handed to the judges a record giving the business showing of the years work up to date.
 The prizes were awarded by Mrs. Mary Ray, the supervisor of negro home demonstration work. Sadie Lampkin of Lee county won first prize, Gladys McDaniels of Conway county won second prize, and Erline Gregory of Mississippi county won third prize.
 The local banks of Texarkana and the merchants of Garland City made it possible for negro club girls and boys to attend the farmers confer ence by their generous contribution as follows: Texarkana National Bank, $25; Merchants and Planters Bank, $5; State National Bank, $25; Mer- chants of Garland, $7.50, making a total of S62.50; to help bear the ex- penses of the six girls and one boy who attended the meeting.

On board every ship in the Navy there are a number of men who are always called upon to display thei. prowess before the ships company at special entertainments and Happy Hour" shows. The strong man, the tumbler, the wire walker ,and a dozen others of acrobatic ability are always willing to oblige.
 The above picture shows Valentine Williams,a strong man holding up four husky shipmates. The combined weight of these lads is 560 pounds; remarkable in view of the fact that "Val" only tips the scales at 142 him. self.

outof the A. o. U. w. funds for ser vices in connection with the oil con- pany. During the months of June and July 1919,ce nditions were such that we practically discontinued all field work for the Society. and the men were given an opportunity to make something for themselves by working for the oil company All charges that funds were misapplied in this way are absurd.

BEAT HIGH COST OF LUMBER BY
 USE OF FARM WOODLANDS

To show the serious disadvantage and economic loss to which large num- bers of farmers have been put be- cause they have not properly utilized available woodlands, the Forest Ser vice, United States Department of Agriculture, has compiled informa- tion regarding conditions in a number of sections of the country, of which the following cases are typical:
 Farmers in Rockbridge County, Va. who have timber on their own farms have been little affected by high. lum- Der prices, and have been able to make the necessary repairs and improve ments, while their neighbors whose home woodlands failed to afford the needed supplies of timber have been obliged to curtail Improvements re- quiring much lumber. These farms are suffering from depreciation in value. In California, where the agri- cultural prosperity has been marked for the past three years, many ranch CTS are now making only such im- provements as are absolutely neces- sary. This is owing to the high prices, limited supply, and poor quail ty of available lumber. These and many other instances are cited in the report which the Forest Service has forestry resources of the country in response to a resolution passes by the United States Senate.

EXP PERIM ENTS WITH NEW
 WHEAT

Omaha, Ark, Aug. 23.-C. T. Jen- nings of this place is developing a new variety of wheat heretofore un- known to this section, which he thinks will produce from four to five times as much per acre as the varieties sown here now. The seed of this wheat was sent here from Colorado, but the man who sent it did not know the name of it and had only a small quantity. MT. Jennings received 40 grains, which he planted in his garden last January. From this he gathered a half gallon. One grain produced 1,135 grains. The wheat is bearded wheat with wide flat head. The va rieties of wheat sown here now aver age around 30 grains to the head. The new wheat runs from Al to 17S by actual count. MT. Jennings thinks as much as 175 bushels can be made to the acre from the new seed. It has all the appearance of being a fine flour wheat. Mir. Jennings during the last few years has developed a purple strawberry and an ever bearing va- riety that is especially adapted to this section of the state.
