(Continued on page 4) ———————————————————————— A MESSAGE TO SALARIED MEN “Systematically laying aside a portion of our earnings, during prosperous times, for a less fortun- ate day, is as ancient in principle, as it is desirable.”—Franklin Pierce. This convention between an ex- ecutive and & subordinate asking for more pay. g “Own your home?” ~ “No." 7/ “Never been able to make any— salary too small.” “If you can’t manage such things for yourself, how can you for the house?” A word to the wise is sufficient. As far as sving and making mon- ey is concerned, there are two Kkinds of people in this world—those who are always geting ready to do something, and those who go ahead and do fit. The average salaried man's prob- fem is a hard ome. He must adjust his llving expenses very closely to his income, . He has a “fixed use” for every penny that comes into his hands. Each year his salary may be in- cresed a few dollars, but these few dollars quickly’ find themselves vfixed” among the exenditures. He still lacks a surplus. Of course this system is wrong! We 11 knoaw tht. But the gues- tion is how can the system be changed? How can the average sai- aried man “get ahead” without un- comfortably changing his way ot ving? : There is a way. Not a mere the- ory, but a real way that other salar- jed men are nNOwW using successially. You can save a dollar or 1wo a week if your assume an bligation to put this aside in a savinzs bank account. You can adjust this amount to your cost of living and never miss it. You wili not incon- venience yourself. All that is neces- sary is to agree with vourself that yml' r saving saccount deposit will be a “fixed charge” the same &S your insurance premiumi®, all you manage to meet berause plan for them in advance. 3 will you do jt?—Saturisy Kven- ing Post. 21. 22. 23. 24, 25. 26. 27, 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. Harrison, Jackson- M. Hutenbach, Pen- H. Anderson, you Gov. Trammell To Governor Park Trammell falls the honor of having the most delic- ious orange ever produced in Florida named after him. Governor Tarmmell ‘has a staunch friend in the person of Col. James E. Alexander of De- iLand, who owns one of the finest groves in this section of Florida, and when Mr. Alexander discovered that in his grove there was a couple of thornless trees bearing seedless fruit of unrivalled flavor he named them for the governor. The Governor Trammell orange is different from any other orange pro- duced in the state, according to the verdict of all who have had an op- portunity of examining them. The meat is unusually solid and differ- ent in color from other oranges. It is remarkably prolific in juice of an exceptionally delicious flavor. Colonel Alexander only has two trees of this variety and so far as he knows they are the only two of the knid extant. Being seedless they can, only be propagated by budding and he has budded several thousand on other stock. The Governor Trammell orange remains on the trees extremely well until late in the summer and last year Colonel Alexander received from five to ten dollrs a box from the fruit oc his two trees. An item of interest to Daytona people in connection with Colonel Alexanders grove is the fact that on his lace is t beautiful lake which he has named for Commodore C. G. Burgoyne, of this city. Commodore Burgoyne's popularity not being confined to Daytona alone, but he making friends wherever he s known.—Daytona Journal. THE FACE ON THE DOLLAR The next time you get a silver dollar in your hand, burnish it up a bit and take a good look at the face of the goddess stamped upon it. Did you ever see finer features, a loftier expression, a countenance more suggestive of the peace and calm and benevolence of life? Is it not a face to suggest hon- esty and to inspire confidence? Would you not go to a woman with such a countenance, sure of sym- pathy and consolation? It is not a fancy sketch, this beau- tiful and benign face; it is portrait from life, the reproduced features of a warm, pulsing, radiant girl, whose mother was a well-known southern beauty. The story runs like this: Anna Willis was the daughter of a wealthy southern slave owner and married Henry Willlams of Phila- delphia in the good old days before the war. Unfortunately for the young couple, Dr. Willis, the girl’s father, lost his fortune and could pot “set them up” in the style to Iwhlch she had been reared. This, however, did not interfere with the happiness of the two, who settled in Philadelphia and eventually reared a family of mnine children, During these years Henty Willlams made and lost & fortune, so that his wife, at his death, found herself plunged again into poverty. The last child, named Anna Willis Willlams, was born about the opening of the Civil War. What trials and privations the mother underwent to educate and provide for her fatherless chil- dren will never be known. But it is certain that Anna Willis, bud- ding into exquisite womanhood, had none of the luxuries of life. So se- rene and beautiful was her face that everywhere she went people turned to look at her. One day the head of the treasury department sent for a designer named George Morgan and commis- sioned him to design the stamps for the new silver dollar that was soon to be issued. The stamp for one side was quickly made, but Morgan hunted long and diligently for a face fair enough to adorn the other side. One day a fellow artist intro- duced him to Anna Willis Williams, and immediately he knew that his search was ended, for here was the exact -type of face he wanted. Anna was persuaded to serve as his model. And so the girl who had never had an extra dollar in her life saw thousands of shining coins bearing her image. The dollar is the true cosmopolite; it goes around the world and Into all the walks thereof. No glitter- ing palace but keeps open door for it; no den of sin but knows its pow- er. Today in miladi's silken purse; tomorrow in the begar’s lifted palm, the third day stained with blood in the criminal’s grasp—so it runs and reruns the gamut of its charging ex- Istence; and wherever it goes it bears the placid face of the beau- tiful girl to whom it was often a stranger. Romance is not a loat item nor an unknown quantity in this prosaic world. Look at the face on the dol- lor in your purse and see it you think it is.—Memphis Commercial Appeal. GERMAN TORPEDO PICKED UP IN NORTH SEA Copenhagen, April 21—A small Danish steamer which has arrived here, brought with it a live Ger- of {man torpedo, about twenty inches ' or other States, whether :in diameéter, complete with net cut- "ters attached. It had been floating in the middle of the North Sea. Of Canning Club Products By L. S. Light. Redick, Fla., April 21—The U. 8. Government, the State Government and our County Government all join in the efforts of trying to aid our boys and girls in the art of Agricul- ture and Domestic Economy. supporting twenty lady demonstra- tors to instruct our young ladies in the art of successfully canning our fruits and vegetables, and the boys have the instruction and advice of thirty-five men demonstrators, teaching them how to more success- fully grow corn, etc. In addition our good agricultural college at Gaines- mote or less submerged in the Saint | ment. : ville gives short agricultural courses Gond marshes where the Prussian lthrough the right arm i in general farming, and our most ex- cellent college for women at Talla- | neither the time nor the means to'several weeks in a hospital. When hassee gives short courses in -do- mestic science. We have two colléges and fifty- five individuals engaged in assist-' ing our young men and women to better their conditions. So far this is very good. 1 honestly believe that to gain the best results from these worthy ef- forts, there must be another step taken. That step is to help the boys and girls to successfully dispose of their surplus productions. To assure the the girls that they can successfully dispose of their canned goods, if properly put up; to assure the boys that their pro- duce will find a market, this will create an incentive to excel in these worthy lines, the number engaged in this line of endeavor, creating habits of thrift and industry. What do you think of this propo- sition? Suppose our lady demonstrators had 1,000 pupils, and each pupil during the season would put 1,000 cans of guava jelly, canned pineapple, strawberries, peaches, pears, beans, peas, or tomatoes. This would make 1,000,000 cans. Let us suppose all these cans were of uniform size, covered with hand- U. 8. laws, the agent’s and the lady canner’s name on each can, guaranteeing quality, ete. Now say these ladies could get these cans at wholesale cost, sold by the Marketing Bureau without profit to the Bureau, giving the young ladies every advantage. Let us suppose our men demon- strators had 2,000 boys, each plant- ing from one to five acres in corn, each raising from one to five hogs for sale. These 2,000 would make, in all probability, 200,000 hulhelll of corn. Raise probably 5,000 hogs. There is a market for this class of goods. They are shipped into the state by the carload. These boys and girls individually cannot sell such a crop under pres- ent conditions, A Florida Marketing Bureau would dispose of every can of fruit or vegetables if properly labeled and put up. Could sell every pound of corn and pork if properly prepared for market. A Florida Marketing Bureau would cost but little. The farmers would support it themselves. The millions of dollars that go out of the state for canned goods, hay, grain, pork, etc., dairy and poultry products, could be retained in Filorida. i Let us husband our resources. We have the best heritage in the world. We are abundantly able to possess the land. Let us act like men. Let us raise the best crops of boys and girls in the world. The best way to keep a boy or girl on the farm, is to prepare a way whereby they can help them- selves; and to make them have faith in their own abilities. The best asset this state can pro- duce is a crop of noble boys and girls. Let us possess our opportunities. Let us help the boy and girl. ALLIES COMMANDER AGAINST TURKS IS FINE SOLDIER (By Associated Press) London, April 21—General d'Au- made, commanding the allies’ ex- peditionary force against the Trks, ' is well known to British army offi- cers and stands high in their esteem. As French military attache, he was stationed in London from 1899 to 1903 and yearly attended the Brit- ish manoceuvres. He acted as ob- server for hig government during the Boer war and a number or re- forms in the Fremch army were based on his reports.

Paris, April 21—“Seven months after the beginning of the retreat of the Germans,”” says Dr. Doizy, deputy for the department of the Ardennes, “unburied dead are being By discovered on the battlefield of the ing the fo Marn. In th center of a village on the banks of the Marne where the |la.nlury department was ~clearing | Away the debris they brought to light a body that ws beyond identi- fication either as German or French. “Hundreds, if not thousands of bodies are supposed to be lying lmnni was thrown back; they had save those who fell there.” In order to avoid th epestilential effects of warm weather on these unhuried corpses, Dr. Doizy thinks it will be necessary to explore the entire swampy region with the aid ed a bad bayonet wound ’lhlgh in a battle near Lille, and 'a(ter he was fairly recovered the ! surgeons pronounced him unfit for ,of dogs. Bodies are also being found con- stantly under brush in ditches and abandoned trenches. They !found not only in ditches, trenches ,and excavations made by shells but in wells, springs and all the little !strelms of the region. In many ,places where it was possible for ,them to bury their dead they were insufficiently covered with earth and !were JSrequently buried in too close | Proximity to sources of water sup- ply. These conditions exist over a zone 250 miles long and from 10 to 40 miles wide with a total of from 5,000 to 6,000 square miles of ground, a considerable part of lwhlch required thorough disinfec- tion to prevent the outbreak of epi- demics. Besides the bodies of men there were in this zone thousands ,0f bodies of animals part of them i killed by shell fire and many of them dead from starvation, having been {abandoned by the fleeing population. | This vast work is disinfection is well under way. All the debris from some wrappers, complying with thelbomhlrded bnlldlng's is being cleur-' demonstration ed away and the ground naturntedlm v with a solution of lime. The floors of every building t¥at has been oc- cupied by troops, either German or French, are being scraped then ,washed in a solution of hot water and carbonate of soda,” while the |walls are all newly whitewashed. lWhereur any odor remains after these precautions have been taken more drastic measures are resorted ,to; in som’tases the building s + burned. | All yards and gardens around ,buildings that have sheltered trops 'sre sprinkled with chloride of lime. {All wells and springs are thorough- 1y cleaned and the use of the water . prohibited until analysis shows it to be absolutely unpolluted. ° The authorities have also to solve the serious problem of sheltering the population that is gradually re- ‘turning to the devasticated regions.

Tn 1914 the crops were better than in previous vears, with an ex- cess of 100,000 tons of wheat over the crop of 1913, but notwithstand- inging these prices have munted so {high that the government has been forced to take measures to avoid |monopolies, and has intimated its 'lntentlon of fixing the maximum prices. l Wheat, cereals in general, pota- toes, beans and other products have been exported in great quantitis to France and England. Numerour ‘French agents have bought beef and !vegetables at prices above normal |and Switzerland alone last month "bought for its army $1,000,000 worth of food products from Spain. All this has caused a natural crisis which has been felt severely in the provinces. The high prices, added to the fact that work in the factories is paralized in almost the whole of Spain, is rendering the workman’s life impossible. Public works on“the governments accounts have been begun in some provinces but mnever- theless it has not been possible to'tre considerable. eliminate the existing bad state of affairs. The trouble has reached its ereatest intemsity in the Early this month disorders out in Murecia, where groups troke of workmen paraded thestreets in his-met today with tile attitude. In Crevillesute more than 4,000 people walked the streets demanding bread and work. In Cadiz, Laragoza, Lucena, Badajoz, Lozrono, and Segovia, similar dis- turbances took place.

The tomato, known botanically as Iycospersicum esculentum, belongs to the natural order Solanacae, as do the potato and the eggplant, is a native of South America, and is said to have been introduced into Eng- land as early as 1596 where for many years it was known only as an orna- mental plant, or for its reputed med- icinal qualities. Yet its wholesomeness was rocog- nized in some quarters at a com- paratively early date, for in 1629 irtues” were described by, Parkinson as follows: “In hot coun- ! tries where they naturally gru\\',g they %re much eaten by people, to| cool and quench the heat and thirst, of their hot stomachs. The apples are also boiled or infused in oil in the sun.” However, it is only about seventy- five years since the use of the toma- to for eating became general in this country. Known to our grandmoth- ers as the Love Apple, it was re- garded by many as poisonous or at least unfit for food, while for a long time there was a widespread belief that the eating of tomatoes would Cause cancer. Today the world knows it to one of the most wholesome, as it is one of the most popular vegetables grown. It is slightly laxative, a gentle sweetener of the blood, and eaten fresh from the vines, is con- sidered anti-bilious. etable except the potato is so er- tensively 2rown, and it merits the claim someone has made for it as “Prince of the Household Vegeta- bles.” There is no vegetable more easily grown than the tomato, and as there are a variety of ways in which one can grow them, their cultivation 80 easy, and the vegetable itself so popular, it is easily seen why the tomato was chosen as the standard product of the canning clubs of America. Tomatoes are a necessity in the majority of homes, therefore, the fiecessity arose to produce them in in large qoautities and smail cost. Dr. Seamann Kaupy of the de- partment of agriculture, seeing in all quarters the great demand for them, and realizing the underlying educational value of a country-wide product, originated the plan for boys’ and girls' clubs. An immense amount of good has already been done in the four years the work has been established, and girls have been taught to do many useful things in connection with growing tomatoes, and the boys with grow- ing corn.—Ex.
