> WASHINGTON COMMENT. "Reduce the overhead," is a sound maxim for increasing the profits of any business. One way to reduce the overhead is to use the plant or office sixteen hours a day instead of eight, or ten hours a day instead of five. And if the "plant" happens to be a * fftblic school, the rule no less holds * good. The community with good school buildings whicn does not utilize them cnmp cood Duroose outside of the normal five hours of school, five days a week, is not making as much profit on its investment in those schools as might be had. Many communities use their schools for Americanization purposes in the evenings. There are thousands of foreigners in this country who are eager to be of, as well as in, the land of their adoption. They hunger for American ideas to transform that hunger into one for American ideals is as fine a work as can be done in * a school. | It costs little; but if it cost much, it would still be worth it. To take thoes of alien birth who know nothing of the Stars and Stripes save that they form the flag of America, and teach them that for which it stands?justice, toleration, religious freedom, liberty, safety of person and property, decency, chivalry to the weak; to instruct them in the fundamentals of American history, let them learn of Washington and Lincoln as something else than names; give them a chance to go out in our strenuous economic life fitted to cope with Americans on a basis of mutual Americanism; t|hat is to reduce the overhead on the schools on one hand, and pay great dividends to the state on the other. Not all foreigners here want to be Americanized. But of those who do, a large number know not which way to turn. The school building, otherwise idle in afternoon and evening. the loyal and enthusiastic Amer- j ican citizen to whom patriotism means something else than a cheer when the flag goes by, acting as instructor, these are- the means to which he should be able to turn. In the presence of .a throng of Masons, who filled the lodge room of Alexandria-Washington Lodge, No. 22, of Alexandria, Va., the worship ful master and oincers 01 ucuiKc . Washington Lodge, No. 9, of St. Louis, conferred the Master Mason's degree upon a member of their lodge. Thirty members of George Washington Lodge came to Alexandria for the purpose, and were the guests o the Alexandrians for a day, after which they returned home. The world needs sentiment Living as we do a life of hard, practical reality, with the daily chase for the daily meal the outstanding need c us all, we need those institutions which cherish and reserve sentiment. And here is sentiment at its purest and best. When thirty men take ; long journey for the sake of a revered name; when a lodg4 in St. Louis will travel to Alexandria, because th< name of their lodge is George Wash^ ington, ana ueorge vrnsuiugwuAlexandria Lodge, they have moved, spiritually, a far greater distance, than actually, in the flesh. It is a fair example of the power of the Masonic Order over men's hearts; it is because masonry has kept alive the sentiment and the beauty of an idea, rather than of a practical reality, that it has lived and grown and thrived. The Masonic Order is not eleemosynary in character, though it practices charity; it is no mutual benefit organization, although it is mutuali ly beneficial to its members; it is not a life assurance organization; it offers little if any material, practical assets to its membership. That it is of the greatest use to its members, and a high t influence for good in all communities where Freemasons are (a fact which can not well be disputed), comes from its hold upon the hearts and minds of men; as in this instance of its power to make men take a long journey, in reverence and love for the traditions which cluster about the First President of the Union. o Green Feed for Laying Hens. The hen likes to have a sufficient amount of green succulence during the winter months. It is essential for health and it is also essential for egg production. Green feed acts as a tonjc and also as a laxative, keeping the birds in the best of condition. How are we going to supply this essential form of feed during the winter months? One of the most satisfactory methods is in the form of sprouted oats. Other good forms of green feed are kale, rape mangel beets. The green feed is generally fed during the middle of the day and is best fed in open hoppers so that the -' floors "will not become soiled and damped. NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR FINAL DISCHARGE.
