Brown, a Negro member, as a token of appreciation of his services. Of the 400 men employed as laborers by the parking company, 50 are Ne | groes. Browne is a graduate of Fisk uni versity. He was not envious of his fellowman, because having had su perior training, he was compelled by force of circumstances to perform menial labor, but worked and did his work well. In July, 1917, he presented him self at the Iowa Packing company and was received as a common labor er. The management soon noted the superior manner in which Browne '"'■formed his work and immediately gave him other work that carried with it some responsibility. At one of the union meetings Browne was called upon to express h.s sentiments concerning a grievance '.hat was to be presented to the super ntendent of the packing company. He expressed himself so intelligently , t.iat he was placed upon the griev ance committee and made spokesman for the organization. He presented ' the case to the superintendent in a scholarly way. The grievance was | settled in favor of the union. By his I tact and skill he avoided a strike and j won the confidence of both the man agement and the union. During a recent caucus Browne was ■ made the unanimous candidate for 1 vice president of the union. Because of his efficiency the su i r.erintendent of the packing company j has placed him in charge of the scales | on the export floor. “He that humbleth himself shall be | exalted.’’ ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TO OFFER VOCATIONAL COURSES FOR SOLDIERS Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—Atlanta uni versity has just completed contracts with the government to give instruc tion to a thousand soldiers in various vocational branches during the pres ent school year.

RUTH'S DRESS_j ; By JOSEPHINE MURPHY. * I I wvvwvm*vv» vv*« . .»»v»Vvwv# Uuth wus making liei wedding dress; a duinty gown of hue sheer while or gaudy aud coliweh lace, just such a dress as she had dreamed ot having ever since the day Alan While had pui a little ring willi three blue tur quoises on her slender mown huger. The dress stood lor a great deal of i-mru economy, aud u lot of self-sucrt lice on the part of her father and mother. Buth's heart heal with Joy as she hemmed the little ruffles. Mrs. Mills, passing by. stopped and touched the dress gently. "Isn't it prettyT she said, wistfully "I'm real glad we made out to manage it. Vour fattier thought at tirst that it was foolish to speud money un a white dress when you needed so many other things. But I insisted. I remem bered when i was married I wanted a white dress, too, but they ail said II was such foolishness that 1 guve up the idea und was married in my brown silk. But us I lime ever since wanted one I was determined you should have yours.” ‘‘Dear me! There's Miss Llcleu com lug across tbe held !” Irene, who hud entered u few min utes before, run and opened the door for her, while Uuth hurriedly gathered up her ruffles. "Mother, help me gel these out of sight. Miss Helen mustn't see this dress. She's such an old gos sip." Although the dress und ruffles were safely tucked away before Helen came in, her sharp eyes did not full to no tice a piece of luce on the carpet a#'! a white thread clinging lo ltuth's skirt. She had a feeling something unusual was taking place, hut said nothing about It, although she prolonged her visit, und talked until ltuth almost lost her patient-^. So Helen went home without having been taken Into ltuth's confidence. •Neither Miss Helen nor anyone else in Westwood was destined to see thut dress of ltuth's. On the day that It was finished, Buth's heart beat fust with joy, as she laid It carefully ou the bed in her room. Irene, who wus Inclined to he ab sent-minded, entered the room shortly after to curl her hair. She lit the lamp, guve u little "pouf" ul the mutch i uud tossed It carelessly away. In an j other minute ltuth's dress lay a In-up of charred rugs. When itulh cume in und beheld the remuius of the gown she had made ! with such pride uud delight a Hood of tears streuuied down her pule cheeks. She would how have to wear her dark i blue silk, uud it wouldn't seem like a j wedding at all! After teu Mrs. Mills went over to Miss Helen und poured out the dismal story. This young ludy listened intent ly, and for once was not forwurd with comment. After Mrs. Mills had left to go up town Miss Helen threw a shawl over her shoulders and wended her way across the meudow to the Mills’ home stead. She found Uuth curled up on the sola, her heud buried In u pillow. She sat down beside her; putting her arms around the little figure, she pressed it closely lo her heart. “I've heurd all ubout it, dear," she whispered, “and I’m so sorry. Don't cry any more. Come over to my house. I've something 10 show you." Itulh wiped away her tears, und soon they were both trip ping across the fields. Having reached Miss Helen’s house, they went upstairs to the second Uoor, 011 which were four rooms. Pausing be .ore the door of one, she turned to iuth und said tremulously, *Tve never ukeu anyone in here before. This wav ay room long ago, when 1 was u young • rl. I’ve never used It since—since I it girlhood behind me forever.” i ipetnng the door, she went to t og-covered chest near the window and opened it. A sweet, fulut spiciness Honied up Into the room us she lifted out u dress of white embroidered mus lin, ivory tinted, from Its long seclus ion. "This, Kuth. was to have been my wedding dress," said Helen softly. "Long ago I was engaged to a young m u captain. When he left to go on Ids last voyage I promised to marry him when he returned, but his ship was lost, with all on hoard, during u ter rific storm. My youth and happiness lied then. Now, Ituth, I want you to lake It to he married In." “Oh. dear Miss Helen 1" cried Ituth tenderly, “I couldn't; why, It would seem—" “Walt, dear," Interrupted Helen, “1 don't want you to think I am muklng ) any sacrifice In giving you this dress, j I've always wanted to see It worn by 1 a bride; (bat Is what It was made for." “Thank you," said Ituth. "Oh, dear Miss Helen, thank you I" No bride could have looked sweeter and fairer than Kuth on her wedding day, and Miss Helen wept tears of joy.

K> renson of ils depredations on the rice fields, the bobolink was form erly rated the most destructive feath ered creature on this continent. But the rice has moved away from the path of Its migration, and on this account it has become almost harmless. Hence forward we nmy admire the protean bobolink without qualification, and, protected against its only Important enemy, man, II will doubtless become a much more numerous species. Peculiar Articles of Commerce. Dried lizards ore said to be an arti cle of merchandise regularly Imported Into this country. They come from China, to supply a demand by Chinese residents in (lie United States. They are supposed to possess much medi cinal virtue when ground to powder and mixed with certain other curative substances. The Chinese used dried toads for a tonic, salted scorpions for smallpox and fossil crabs as an anti dote for poison. All Called On to Show Courage. Whatever your sox or position. Ilfs is a battle In which you are to show your pluck ; and woe lie to the coward! Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, It Is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinc tions. Despair and postponement are cowurdlee and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fall.—Thoreau. Unpalatable Ship "Bread." | In grandfather's day a ship took on her supply of bread for a voyage In casks before leaving home. This supply had to hist until the end of the voyage, though thut might he a year or two. The bread was In the form of hard biscuit.
