THE CUSTOM OF TREATING.

The treating custom in vogue in
this country can be held responsible
for large part of our intemperance.
The average man who drinks "oc-
casionally' is good fellow. He is
good hearted But the desire to fos-
ter good fellowship and disposition
to be generous are frequently the
causes of his undOing.
The custom of setting up the
drinks is the cause of much over
drinking, if such term may be used
a man goes into a saloon. He wants
only one drink. A gang of his
friends comes in. He cannot get
away without drinking with all of
them. That is the ethics of the bar
Before he leaves he is filled up.
If one is determined to drink land
there are millions who seem thus de-
termined) the safer procedure is the
Dutch treat''-the kind where every
man treats himself.
The Germans follow this custom
largely and it is said that one seldom
sees a German much the worse for
liquor.
The man who follows the treating
custom is generally moral coward.
He is afraid of offending. The con-
ventious demand that he should set
'em up" to the boys and he is too

EDUCATION PAYS.

That was a surprising statement
recently issued by the bureau of edu-
cation. 1t was that there are in the
United States 1916 males over 30
years of age without education.
The bureau does not go far enough.
1t should follow that army to the
poor houses, the jails, the haunts of
bitter poverty, to the lives of the
tramps.
For one of the mainsprings of pow
erty and crime is ignorance.
If parents would only stop to con-
slider the matter they would realize
that it isn't what boy earns in the
years before he is 81 that counts. Up
to that time his life is preparatory.
He should be getting ready for a
struggle that will be strenuous. He
can afford to be pinched for spending
money, for clothing, for luXuries of
all kinds, but if he steps into the
world where every man fights for
himself, without at least a good COM
mon school education, we'll soaked
in, he is going to wear ball and
chain the rest of his life. He is go
ing to have Il handicap that no
amount of worldly wisdom can en-
tirely overcome
Ignorance means bare living at
the hardest most killing kind of toll.
The money earned by child often
means the sacrifice of a future.
Education pays. In these days of
keen competition it is due to every
young man that he go into the world
fully equipped.

The young man thought awhile and
then replied:
well, father, you know have never

it would be much more satisfactory to
me if you would just leave the $4,000

MORE BUTTER.

Florida does not begin to make the
butter consumed by our people. This
| is even true of. our rural communl-
ties. There are probably not over a
| half dozen counties in the state
| which produce as much butter as
| their inhabitants consume. The re-
suit is that we are sending thousands
! of dollars from the rural commune
| ties, even the farms, of Florida to
! the farms of other states for the pur-
chase of butter. The most unfOrtu-
nate part of the fact is the utter lack
| of any natural necessity of this con-
dition. We are actually spending
the proceeds of less profitable crops
in payment for what we could far
more profitably produce at home.
The original causes for this cOndi-
ton it is not necessary to go into.
The present explanation is to be
found in two prevailing conditions:
Poor stock and poor feed. Both of
these are easily remedied. For the
proof of this assertion it is not neces-
Sary to go further than the nearest
really good farm, which may be
found in every county of north
Florida. including more than one
half of the state. | wish to insist,
in the beginning, that there are as
good dairy farms and as good herds
n dairy cattle in Florida as can be
found in any state. More than this,
there are conditions of climate and
market which give us great advan-
tage over the dairy sections of all
other parts OF the country. Winter
shelter is hardly worth considering.
it is so cheaply provided, and green
feed all winter, equal to the June
pastures of New York or Wisconsin,
are advantages by far outweIgning
all possible favorable conditions OF
the north.
A few comparisons between prices
of feeds and finished product here
and in the dairy sections of the
north are important. The net price
of creamery butter to northern dali
rymen, the return to the owner OF
the cows, has averaged less than zoe
during the past year. During this
time there has been no place in
Florida where good butter has not
Melted the producer 25c, and the av-
erage has been fully SOC. On the
other hand the materials from which
the butter is made have cost very
much less here. First the land used
as a dairy investment is worth an
average of at least four times more
in the north than with us. The
buildings and other equipment are
relatively cheaper with us. The
feeds we produce cost much less
here than those produced by the
northern dairyman. When it comes
30 the necessarily purchased feeds,
the two most universally used pro-
teins tell the story. The first is
wheat midlings, produced chiefly in
the wheat belt of the northwest,

InteIIigence In Monlsers.

A correspondent in the Field con-
tributes an extraordinary instance of
intelligence in the Royal park, Mel
bourne, Australia He was watching
some monkeys in large cage when
one of them came TO the trent and
tried to reach a nut which had been
thrown and was lying on the gravel
path. Putting its arms through the
bars and stretching as far as possible
ii found that the nut was just beyond
its reach. There was straw on the floor
of the cage and going 10 the back,
where ii evidently expected TO find the
straw less damaged. it tested straw
after straw, discarding them one by
one, not thinking them strong enough
for the purpose At last it found a sat
isfactory one returned with il TO the
front of the cage and very quickly with
this aid hooked the nut close enough to
be picked up.

weak to refuse. He fears being
called tight wad.'
The man who bows to the treating
custom is probably also fool. He
acts foolishly He drinks when he
has no desire. He makes an occas-
ion where there is no sensible excuse.
In competition of generosity he
makes a swill barrel of himself to
please his fellows. He prostitutes
the virtue of friendship and makes
it vice.
Do not drink at all. Abstinence is
the only safe course. But if you
must drink, go it alone.

With all the modern products of the
twentieth-century clock makers before
the world, and clocks and watches no
longer a luxury, it seems somewhat
surprising as well as audacious for any
one to declare that he will pronounce
all clocks back numbers and revolu-
tionize all systems of recording the
hours, minutes and seconds as they go
floating past.
Yet a man from Connecticut, the
home of the clockmakers and the land
of clocks, has the precocity to make
such an announcement. He is not a
clock maker, but just a plain Yankee
genius.
