Phone §7 Green 4 Lakeland, Fla Department “Where They ASHINGTON.—“That is the place where they send out seeds.” This is the familiar formula which many Washington guides use in de- scribing to tourists the wonders of the department of agriculture. This information was given through a meg- aphone by the conductor of the rubber neck wagon to his patrons as they pass in front of the old red brick ad- ministration building. Officials and clerks ‘within hearing of this brief de- scription' throw down their pens (or, for the sake of pleasantry, should it be their newspapers?) and take on & look of disgust and injured pride. For 80 many thousand of strangers to be given the information or to get the impression that the feature of work for which the great department of Ag- riculture has made itself famous or notorious is the sending out of seeds s monstrous. One of the humiliating features of the whole business is that the tourists appear to like it. They look with the proper awe-stricken stare and seem to be greatly lm-| Send Out the Seeds” pressed with the department “where they send out seeds.” “I wish you would write a plece for the paper,” said a high functionary of the department, “antl correct the alto gether too prevalent notion that the main objects and the main usefulness of this depariment are concerned with sending out seed. “I have talked to some of these rub- berneck conductors. 1 have urged them to enlighten the pllgrims for whose instruction they are responsi- ble, upon the vast work of this depart- ment in relation to meteorology, ani mal industry, animal husbandry, plant industry, forestry, chemistry, soils, en- tomology, biology, publications, statis- tics, public roads and the like. “] have recommended these guides to acquaint their patrons with some of the valuable work being done by the bio-chemic, pathological and z00- logical divisions, by the plant patholo- gists ‘and physiologists and the pomo- logists, by the sofl bacteriologists, the dendrologists, the microchemical ex- perts, the sharps in enological chemis- try, by the agrostologists, the work- ers in solar radiation, agricultural technology, silvics, synthetic prod- ucts, pharmacological work, insectl- cides, fungicides and all that. “However, when tho rubberneck wagon goes by on its next trip the conductor bellows through the mega- phone: ‘This is where they send out seeds.’” Rep. Johnson “Nearly” Had His Speech Printed EPRESENTATIVE Albert Johnson, | the handsome and vociferous mem- | ber from Oregon, nearly had a fine speech printed in a faraway coast paper for which Harry Brown ie the Washington correspondent. Johnson used to be a newspaper man in this city. He was night editor and copy editor and reporter and all the regular things which ars supposed to give newspaper men that broad and sympathetic view of large affaire, Johnson made a speech during the general debate on the tariff bill a few days ago. It was his first speech in the House. It was a good speech. taking it by and large, but the air was jammed full of speeches about that time and the only newspaper that was publishing them was the Congres- stonal Record, However, Mr. Johnson did not want Portland to go unfed with crumbs from his table, so the evening fol- lowing ‘the great event of his speech he started out to find Harry Brown | and tell him all about it. He eouldn’t find Mr. Brown until the next day. “Say, Harry,” he remarked, “I tried to find you last night, but I couldn’t. 1 made a speech yesterday.” That did not impress Mr. Brown to any great extent, so Mr. Johnson con- tiued to further explain: “And as I thought your paper would want it, 1 filed about 800 words of it with the telegraph company.” Brown winced. His paper had been advising him to cut down the tarift stuff to the bone, a6 most of it was the sort of soft pap that goes well in the country districts, but hasn’t much circulation in a wall regulated news- paper. Furthermore, Brown investi- gated and found that Representative Johnson had really filed 1,500 words— and the telegraph tolls to Oregon are enormous! He had visions of being “fired” by wireless, but he discovered to his great relief that his paper had chopped the speesh in two before It was entirely relayed to Portland from Chicago, thus saving a lot of time and trouble and costing Representative Johnson a whole lot of modey for half a speech to Chicago. More Amerit;ans Go to lq.’ : 9,0 4 IGHTY-FIVE American men and women teachers have just set out for the Philippines. This number was selected from a large eligible list cer- tified by the United States civil serv- ice commission as having the neces- sary education and experience and having passed the required examina- tion for the Philippine teaching' serv- fce. They came from nearly every state in the union, representing some of the best universities, colleges and normal schools in this country. Most of them are college graduates, some have done graduate work in the uni- versities and others have pursued Teach in the Philippines technical courses preparing them to take charge of agricultural work. manual training and trade school work and dovmestic science. A fact not generally known is that the average term of service of Amer- ican teachers in the Philippines is nearly six years, almost a year longer than the average service of teachers in this country. Thowe leavimg at this time go to the Philippimes under a two-year contract. This provision is made to enable the govermment to ascertain whether or not the teacher will succeed in the new fleM and also to give the teacher a chance to find out whether or not there is a suf- cient future te the service to warrant him in remaining. That there are only eighty-five vacancies this year out of nearly seven hundred poeitions for American teachers in the service, indicates, so the insular bureau offi- clals say, that those already on the ground have the greatest faith in the future of the educat! mal work in the islande. Animal Statues As Lawn Decorations In Favor NIMAL statues as outshle decora-; tions for houses seem to multiply when you look for them, and they al- ways seem to be coming into view in places where you had hitherto over looked them. In front of the big fourstory yellow brick house at the morthwest corner of 16th and P streets, next door south of Foundry Church, are two white lions. Apparently they have just left the covered porch and are strolling down the walk which leade from the front door to the sidewalk—that is, they appear to be walking because each lion has his right foreleg lifted. They are also keeping step. The pal- lor, or the whiteness of the beasts in- dicate that they are young lions and have not long been exposed to the wear and tear and dust incidental to guarding a doorway on a much trav- eled street. They appear to be twins. Each is the same size and the attitude of each is the same; each has his head turned to the southeast n& though looking down the avenue the presidents. They may have heard some one ap- proaching from that direction. They are walking with a staglthy tread and if they were mot eold marble lions one might thing that thoughts of evil were in their minds, The path they follow leads across a green lawn at the street edge of which is a row of tulip trees, sometimes called yellow poplars. A row of hard maples is in the parking between the sidewalk and the curb. It is green aud shady there, but, as every ome knows, a much frequented part of the city and these lions it so inclined could count thousands of automobiles passing in the course of a day and about as many in the course of evening, Bl s s well water and double distilled. 1 ) Security Abstract § Title Compi T s > <o gy QUALITY.
