 The deepest meaning of Christmas-- that which gives 1t all it's significance --is that thereon God revealed himself to man. 'Immanuel' is the luminous name of the One who came to man. kind on Christmas Day to express all that God could convey of himself to mortal understanding. Mems thoughts about God had been perverted and in- adequate. They dreaded him, and fear fully worshipped Him; but they did not know him as Being whose other name is Love. That truth was reserv- ed for the first Christmas. It came upon the angels song and in a Baby's wall God is good; God is with us; God Is Love: these are the Christmas refrain

THE FARMER.

III there is any class Of people
which deserves to prosper and receive
the full cash value for their toll :"
SAYS The Green Cove Springs Times
'It Is this class. The man be-
hind the gun may have value as a
civiiizer, the miner has his place h the
world, the manufacturer is a valuable
asset and the educator IS a benefactor
to the human race, but the farmer Is
necessity. Let his plow and his hoe
stop, and the world win starve He
ia the man who feeds the world, the
man who clothes it, and he furnishes
the material which keeps the spindles
Of industry ID motion Without him
and the product Of his toll, there
would be nothing doing.
III every miner should strike, Il
every manufacturing enterprise should
close It's door. II every educator should
take vacation for thirty days. the
world could stay In business, but II
the farmers should close up shop for
that length Of time thousands upon
thousands Of people would flce starya-
tion.
"The farmers have never been ap-
preciated at their true value Ciyili-
zation has never really understood
their Inestimable value.
"The fact that the farmers consti-
tute such a large body Of citizens is
reason that there has never been a
perfect organization OF this class.
Many efforts have been made to effect
organizations that would accomplish
something along the line OF protection,
but invariably these organizations
have drifted into politics. which was
their death knell.
THE present organization Of the
Farmers Union gives bright promise
OF accomplishing great good, the lead
srs have steered clear OF political
shoals and have resolutely refused to
have any part or parcel In political
affairs. This proves the wisdom OF
both leaders and tine body OF the I'M
ion, and II the organization sticks TO
its present purpose great good viii
result and the farmers will be perma-
nently benefited
There are other organizations OF
farmers and agriculturaiists which
are accomplishing great good along
these lines, and we wish for each
and every one OF them all possible
success"

The best Information that we can
gather Of che orange prospects today
indicate that the crop is not uniform
throughout the State. From Middle
Florida, where the freezes Of "a and
95 almost wiped out the Industry,
the resusitated or new groves now,
IN full bearing, are loaded with an
excellent crop. There, july sales on
the trees have been made at as low
figures as seventy-fve cents for
oranges and one dollar for grape
fruit.
Desoto has been hard hit by the
drouth and win have smaller crop
than the average except on irrigated
groves, which are showing up fire.
The trees, owing to alternating rains
and drought, viii have about three
grades Of fruit, that from the early
winter bloom, the June bloom, and
the July and August bloom, with good
ness knows what later developments.
Lee county Is Boosting Of a large
and fine crop this season. Estimates
are given OF six-milIion-box crop Of
citrus fruit for Florida this year, but
this seems to be altogether too large,
as the acreage of Middle Florida
orange groves is not what it once was,
and cannot therefore produce crop
