What The Solons Are Doing (By Claude F. Johnson.) Tallahassee, May 7-—The Davis liguor regulation bill became a law Wenesday, when Governor Park Trammell, in the presence of a dele- ration that had worked for its pas. s, signed the m usure that wiil on September 30, at midnight, atol- ish the regular saloon in the State of Florida. A photograph was tak- en of the Governor and the persons present while the Governor was in the act of signing. Those who sur- rounded the Governor on this oc- casion were: Senator Chas. E. Davis, author of the bill; Representatives Bryan, of Osceola, and Pinney, of St, Lucie; scnators Blitch and McEach- ern; Rev. (. W. Crooke, superinten- | dent of the anti-saloon league; Don C. McMullen, secretary of the anti- saloon league and Miss Minnie Neal, U. The top with representing the \W.

Okaloosa county is provided for in a bill introduced in the house Wednesday by Bill Mapoles, of Wal- ton. This proposes to take a slice off Walton and Holmes counties for the new county. Charlotte county is planned to be formed from a section of DeSoto county. This bill is meeting with opposition from the representative from DeSoto, Mr. Langford, the bill having been introduced by Mr. Rob- son, of Polk county, by request. The people in the southern part of De- Soto ask permission to vote on this question of division. been It is now apparent that the pres- ent legislature intends to establish a state printing office equipped to handle all the publications and gen- eral printing for the various state departments. Representative Fore- hand, of Liberty county, introduced a bill calling for the establishment of a state printery, and last week a house committee investigated the possible cost of aperation of such a plant, their zpport showing there was an opportunity for the state to handle the work in a more satisfac- tory and inexpensive way than is possible at present. Opposition has been heard from various parts of the state, but most of these have come from persons that are not equipped to do the work, and as in most cases where municipal owner- ship is opposed the charge is made that it would be a political pie coun- ter and unprofitable. On the other hand the wonderful success of the government printing office at Wash- ington is recited by those who ad- vocate of the state entering the printing business. If large con- cerns find it profitable to do their own printing, and this is not de- nied by experienced printers, the state can, with proper management profit as well. This argument is among the many advanced in sub- stantiation of the plan for a state printery. Senators Farris, of Du- val, and Drane of Polk, have been named as the senate’s part of the joint committee to take up this matter and recommend action. Claude F. Johnson, formerly editor of the Osceola Journal, at Kis- simmee, who has been at the print- ing game for twenty-one years, has been summoned to appear before xho! joint committee to give testimony as to the possibilities of the state sav- ing money by entering the printing business. Senator Cooper's bill to validate all bonds and evidences of indebt- edness issued by any board of coun- iy commissioners for passed the senate Wednesday. This will allow various counties of South Florida to proceed with the drain- age planned during recent rs and place the counties in a position to finance the propc ons. Senator Gornto’s resolution to amend that part of the constitution relating to taxation of widows prop- erty was passed Wednesday in the and provides the following Widows shal!l he exer senate chan on 00 personal property inst of $200, when they are bonifide resident of the state, whether they have a family dependent upen them or as now ealled for im the constitution as nece the exemption.

NOT WITHOUT EXCUSE §| T | By GRACE KERRIGAN. f SOOI | (Copyright, 1915. by the McClure Nn»wspa-) per Syndicate.) | “Buster said he had two sisters and | baby brother,” mused Helen Smith, as she turned into the little white- painted gate of the Peterby home. There was a garden crowded with flow- | ers growing rankly, and the draperies | at the windows hung awry as if pulled by childish hands. “Careless!” commented Smith, spinsterwise. Her knock at the door brought Bus- ter Peterby, who turned first pale and then red at sight of her. “Good morning, Buster,” said Helen pleasantly. “Is your mother in?” “Come in, please,” quavered Buster. opening the door into a disordered kitchen. Helen stepped inside and paused. In the middle of the room was a washtub. Over the tub, scrubbing valiantly at bits of children's gar- ments, was a big, blonde man, whose blue eyes met hers without embarrass- ment at being found in this feminine employment. A baby chuckled on a} rug; two little girls were eating at the table and Buster had been labori- ously washing dishes. It was a busy scene. “Place a chair for the lady, Buster,” said Mr. Peterby, as he deftly wrung out a pink f “It’s my teacher,” whispered Buster in an agony of embarrassment. “I been late every morning and she wants to see-- mother!” “Buster's mother went away when ! the baby came,” said Mr. Peterby gravely, as he resumed his duties without apology. *“I am afraid I am a poor substituie, but we manage to get along somehow. Dish washing and bed making come awkward to a little boy of eight.” “I should think so!" cried Helen . contritely. “You see, I didn't know about it, Mr. Peterby. He nodded. “That's the trouble in this world—folks don’t take the trou- ble to understand each other.” “I know it; this has taught me a lesson. Oh, Mr. Peterby, I don't think you should pour boiling water on those flannels! " protested Helen. Then Horace Peterby took a lesson ! in washing clothes that he never for got. He stepped back in respectful | admiration before this little lady who | did not hesitate to risk the daintiness of her attire in his wifeless kitchen. When she had finished the lesson Helen Smith and Horace Peterby were fairly well acquainted. She could not help but like the big, blond, blunder- ing young man who was trying to be both mother and father to his chil- dren. While Buster was in school it | was his custom to trundle the baby and the twin girls down to the littlq shop, where they remained until Bus- ter came from school. “Of course the business suffers,”! sighed Mr. Peterby, as he shook hands with Miss Smith. | Helen Smith hurried into the | schoolroom, quite forgetting that Bus- ter had gone on ahead long ago. ll.i was half past nine and she found a room full of whispering, idle pupils. | She, the dictator, was late herself— and without excuse.” Before the round- | eyed wonderment of her scholars Miss | Smith called the room to order and be- 1 gan the day's lessons Helen | !

On her advice and with her help, Horace Peterby restocked his little store, and even placed a mod- est advertisement in the village paper. Then school closed and Helen pre- pared to return to her home in a dis- tant town. i She bade farewell to her new-found friends with some regret, but there was sorrow in her heart when she; kissed the Peterby babies good-by and strained Buster's chubby form to her breast. “You will not return in the fall?” asked Mr. Peterby, regarding her with grave, inscrutable “We shall miss y “I shall miss all of you, Mr. Byt Her homeward way led along a pleasant river path; it was the same river that flowed through Greenville,, and Helen leancd over the railing of | the bridge and watched fits liquid flow with dreamy eyes. | She did not see the dimpling river Strange to say, she saw a big young man caring for four little children with all the tenderness of a woman— of the woman who had been compelled to leave him alone.

One of the most unusual passport cases which has yet come to the at- tention of the American embassy at London arose when a well-dressed \merican called to obtain a passport which had been sent to Washington ome weeks ago to be renewed, but during the interim the owner of the passport had bsen denuded of his whiskers, which set of whiskers was still attached to his person when he sent his photographs to Washington, and he was described in the passport as bewhiskered. Agked why he shaved off the whisk- ers, he sheepishly stated that he had his whiskers shaved once a year and forgot all about the passport regula tions. Speed of Zeppelins.
