THE COLLEGE YELL. In nothing does the modern col- lege show torth the progress of in- tellectual development more potently than in the composition of the college yell, In its pertected form it stands as the concrete results of what college wraining and environ- ment can do for the brain. Let us quuuf:u. example, proudly used as the battle cry of one of our leading universities: “Boom-a-lacka, boom-a-lacka, bow, L4 wow, wow! Chick-a-lacka, chick-a-lacka, chow chow, chow! Boom-a-lacka, chick-a-lacka! Well I guess! We are the girls of the U, of F.!" Some class, eh? Rhyme, rythm, reason —don’t you think? Shakes- peare never did anything like that.

Jacksonville, Fla,, Nov. 8.—Sixz actious filed in United States court at New York for the seizure and de- struction of as many shipments of temato pulp ifrom New Jersey and Maryland are being watched with 'intercst by Florida provision job- bers and men interested in the can- ring and preserving industry. The actions were brought by As- sistant United States Attorney Ro- ger Clarke. It charges that the pulp is contaminated by a mould de- scribed as “decayed vegetable mat- ter” which contains anywhere from 12,000,000 to 400,000,000 injurious bacteria to each cubic centimeter. A centimeter is about two-fifths (0.3937) of an inch. The pulp in question was put up without an adequate preservative, aud the incident is a graphic ex- planation of the refusal of the 8. B. Williams company, of Indiana, to go ahead with plans for the estab- lishment of tomato pulp factories in Florida. It will be recalled that the firm abandoned the project when it was found that under the benzo- ate prohibition of the state pure food law a safe preservative could not Ye cmployed in putting up the pulp. It Is not difficult to imagine the disastrous results which would fol- low the eating of products made from the pulp condemned at New York and containing such a start- ling number of injurious bacteria o cach two-fifths of an inch. Local jobbers declare that it furnishes am- ple proof of their claim that the so- dium benzoate provision increases the menace to the consumer whom the pure food law is designed to protect, d Men who handle preserved fruits, fruit syrups, catsups and sauces and pickles, insist that the prohibition is going to work out disastrously for the state and its people, and that its repeal or a decision to let it rest in- operative is imperative. Like all other things, the benzoate opposition frequently develops its humorous side. Dr. Harvey Wiley, the high priest of the anti-benzoat- ists, has just been interviewed on a pure food Thanksgiving dinnner. He gives out this perfectly harmless menu: Turkey, dressing, potatoes, cranberry sauce.” Now some of the local men who are not aflicted with the doctor's fear of the ‘‘benzoate dragon,” would like to know how he reconciles cranberry sauce with his anti-benzoate doctrine, Scientists for many years sought an artificial preservative for fruits and vegetables. One day out in the northwest an investigator notic- ed how perfectly cranberries are preserved by natural processes. He began to analyze the cranberry and found that nature's preservative was benzoic acid. He reduced it with sodium and gave to the world the only perfect preservative it has ever known and the only one which merely arrests further chemical changes without affecting taste or color or flavor—sodium benzoate. The quantity of benzoate used by man in the preservation of fruits and vegetables is proportionately less than the quantity in which it s utilized in the more concentrated form of benzole acid under the form- ula by which Mother Nature pre- the delightful huckleberry.

DECLAMATION CONTEST | 1 From the Key West Morning Jour-! nal we take the following descrip- tion of a new comet that has ap- peared on the scene and can be seen in the east about 4 o'clock in ihe| morning, or just before day. It has been called to the attention of the writer and if you feel inclined to see this wonder of the heavens, gel up some morning right soon and you can see it for yourself. The Journal article reads as follows: “The comet which has been visi ble here for several wecks has ex- cited great interest in all parts of the State. The new comet was discovered hy C. C. Kless at the Lick observaotry on the morning of July 6. The dis- covery was made possible by a small streak of Jight on the very edge of a plate on which a photograph of the heavens had just been made. Suspecting that a comet was respon- sible for the phenomenon, the hea- vens were swept with large glass the following morning, when' the comet was plainly visible. It has since been observed and studied more generally. It can easily be seen any morning with a good opera glass, say the scientisfs. The comet has been given the name of its dis- coverer. The comet is in the constellation Auriza, and Is movirg toward the Southwest zlmost in a direct line for the Pleiades. It appears quite hright under a small field glass in the early morning. The comet has a firm and sharp nucleus and a faint .tail, The streamer is nearly four degrees in length. The visitor is of the seventh magnitude. A photographic spec- trum of the comet “oth before and| after perillrelion. Unless the comet changes its course there is no danger ot its com- ing in close proximity of the earth. Being a new comet its orbit bas not been determined by astroncmers, It is so small that it can hardly be dis- tinguished in the heavens unless the seacher know precisely for what he i8 looking, although it Is quite| plain after it is once found. BONDS TO BE ISSUED 1 BY POSTOFFICE DEPT. ! Postoflice ofticials have been noti- fied by the postmaster general that, beginning January 1st, bonds will be issued in counection with the postal savings banks for the pur- poses of investment by the depositors in these banks. The bonds will be issued in de- nominations ot $20, $100 and $500, which will draw interest of 2 1-2 per cent, payalle semi-annually, and the depositors can exchange all or part of their savings for these bonds. They will be issued in the form of registered and coupon books, and will not be subject to taxation. The registered bonds are written in favor of the depositor and cannot be cash- ed by any other person, and it is re- quired that the money invested in them be allowed to the treasury for use one year. The coupon bonds are made payable to bearer and the money does not necessarily have to remain in the treasury a year. The bonds will not be issued to persons who are not depositors and the money invested in them will not be counted in the $500 to which each depository is limited. Applications for conversion of money into bonds on January 1st must be made not later than Decem- ber 15th. SANFORD STREET CARS GET A JOLT IN COURT Alleging failure to pay $3.500 still due on two promissory nctes for 2,000 each, suit for $6,000 has been filed in the United States Court by Fairbanks, Morse & Company, of 1llinois, against the Sanford Tra'«'-! tion Company. H It is alleged in the declaration to the suit that the defendant company on June 3, 1910, gave its promissory not for $2,000 to the plaintiff, and that of the amount only $500 has been paid. The note is said to long over due. Another promissory note is lllaged; to have been given the plaintiff by the Sanford Tracticn Company July paid. A. P Connelly, a former citi- lSatu'rday B F .
