Swapping a Night Meeting for A
Day Meeting

!
the old time lodges. Not many year.
ago all the joiners belonged to Masons
Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, tn,
Woodmen and several others. Tht
lodge meetings were weekly, the
work was secret, and the halls where
they were held were as a rule, stuffy
The modern civic club is different
The meeting is at midday, is a public
affair, it is around the dinner table
If there is no degree of work to keep
up interest, there is a good meal and
a bunch OF good fellows with the lat
est news and gossip, not marched
around a dark hot room, taking ten
minutes to open and fifteen minutes
to close, but walking in on the dot
and leaving with the strike OF the
clock.
1t looks like the luncheon plan is
the better plan Besides, the civic club
IS doing better work than the lodge
memberships.
We see that in Macon the Masons
are organizing a civic branch of the
order. They too, will hold weekly
meetings at midday and will carry on
work similar to Kiwanis, Rotary and
Lions. Tney are catching the spirit
and are getting into the game
Those who have tried both know
that the one hour meeting with meal
served and business transacted with
pep and a punch is much more desir-
able. 1t will work with the lodges
just as it has worked with other or
CARNATIONS.
The lodges, working in secret, had
their lights under bushel. Let them
come out in the open, put away the
secret work and get busy doing the
good things many of them have always
done out before the public We believe
the weekly luncheon and the short
session would prove booster for the
lodges.-Moultrie Observer.
Surprising it may be to learn thu;
Brazil with all its wonerful forests so
many of them yet unexplored, is i'm
porting vast quantities of naval stores
rom the United States and at the Bra
I'll an Exposition which opens on
September 3rd, an important exhibit
1f our American Forest service will
DC the demonstration of the turpen-
ING industry from miniature South
'rn forest, showing how the stores are
and then on the plan OF the
Cyclorama in Atlanta the forest is
carried into indefinite distance bv
means OF painted background which
is to make the forest scene more real
istic. Another composite painting in
the American exhibit 12x2O feet in
size will depict American resources
with the background of mountain
sides well forested and the lowlands
cultivated in field crops, also showing
logging operations in the foreground |
In conjunction with this and other /
large pictures of real forests will be
shown specimens of woods, models
Of saw mill operations, methods of
drying lumber, making pulp and pa
per, and many other of forestry occu-
pations. Running daily in three audi
forums on the Exposition grounds
will be p moving pictures, provided
by our agricultural department cover
ing a large field of activities and all
titles and reading matter will be trans
lated into Portuguese together with a
distribution of reading matter in
Portuguese.
In discussion given in McCalrs
magazine on what men and women
like in each other, the question is ask
cd DO men like brainy women?.' No!
declares two authors emhatically.
The male author asserts that mems
vanity at once small and heroic re-
quire the sustaining encouragement
of feminine confidence and admiration.
They want warmth and generosity
Miss Fannie Hurst says "They WOO
us, marry us, clothe us, push doors for
us, strut for us, make laws for us,
father our children, and we smile. The
Mona Lisa smile has been called ador-
able and inscrutable, but Miss Hurst
says women should understand it as
a composite smile of what women
think about men. A little good hum
ored, that smile, a little fond, little
sad, little wise, little crucified."
State normal colleges in Nebraska
have put the ban on the Chicago, Col
umba and Northwestern Universities,
by refusing leaves of absence or credits
to their teachers who would pursue
their studies in those schools, because
the testimony of those who have been
students and the news items in the
daily press show that cigarette smok-
ing If common among the women in
these institutions
While other sections of the country
may deplore the encroachment OF for
eigners. the Atlanta Journal comments
thus on the conditions in Georgia
Georgia has only 52S foreign born
farmers as against more than 10000
native white and 10000 colored.
