Urgently Requested to Attend.
The members OF the Alachua Coun-
" Farmers Union have decided to
store their cotton and bold Il for bet
ter prices.
AS result OF TINS decision by many
OF the local unions. the county presi
dent, J. w. May. has called the coun-
~ union together TO meet in Aiachua
on September 10th, when arrange
ments viii be perfected for storing
the crop Of 1908, or that part OF II
controlled by the union in this county.
That this Il a wise move on the
part OF the farmers one cannot doubt,
for the disastrous foods in the Caro-
linas and Georgia have destroyed
great deal OF the staple and the crop
IN this state is far short Of what II
should have been.
This condition has been caused IN
this State by dieback. bowl weevel
and rust, and has cut the crop fully
40 per cent short on the usual annual
yield for the Sen Island section.
There Is hardly little doubt but that
the prices win be increased within
the next few weeks. as the demand
will necessarily compel rise in the
market, the supply being insufficient

JUDGE WlLLIAr1 LoCHREN.

Judge William Lochren has announced his
retirement from the federal bench, to take effect
March 81
Judge Lochren is one of the honored men
of the nation He was one of the early resi-
dents of Minnesota: and was member of the
famous Minnesota First regiment and took part
in that heroic charge at Gettysburg. This was
patriotic baptism that will preserve his name
in grateful memory-and added to that are
long years of service on the district and federal
beuch. He is man of strong character, ten
acious convictions, and undoubted honesty and
courage. The temperament of the man has
been the grounds for criticism in some quar-
ters-and yet all accord him pure motives and
an unsullied personal and official record.
Judge Lochren belongs to the old school,
which believes in the sacred rights of property.
He has not been affected by the evolution that
gives the rights of citizens first and highest
consideration. He is not man to change his
viewpoint easily, and public opinion or criticism
has little effect upon him. His is a strong ma
ture, and it is perhaps his misfortune to have
been in responsible positions in times like these
when the old traditions giving way to new
ideas, the fighting force of which is a square
deal to all, and fear favor for the great
corporations
It is this tenacity of his nature which may
have prevented him from being one of the
greatest of modern judges-because he has the
ability, the legal knowledge, the unquestioned
integrity and the high courage which would
have made him commanding figure of ma
tional magnitude had he been in tune with the
twentieth century trend of thought and con-
viction.
AS man he is genial, democratic and love-
able He will command the affection and re-
pect of all who know him-and to many of
these there comes regret that time has been
called upon his public career.-St. Cloud Jour
nal Press. Il

We note by exchanges that t. E. Bent

Andrew Peterson has in this end of the district.

Has it ever occurred to you that every town
is being judged daily by throng of people
who in their passing an opinion of what they
see advertises it far and wide. For instance if
passengers on a train in passing through see
unsightly ash heaps, rubbish piles filthy alleys
and poor streets, the impression gained can not
be hattering to the town and the advertising
thus gained is most undesirable. But on the
other hand if all these things are conspicuous
by their absence, and neatness and order pre-
vail, advertising of inestimable value will be
the result. AS spring is nearing and cleaning
up time will soon be at hand these facts should
be kept in mind and especial attention should be
given to that portion of our village that comes
under the eye of the travelling public. great
many railroads have been imbued with the i'm
provement spirit and have improved their right
of-way by laying them out into parks in order
that they will be in keeping with adjoining pro-

are those of James Adlard, of Browns Valley,

more years of the Roosevelt policies but have

Joel P. Heatwole, of Mortified, has an

are regulation of freight and express rates, a

the deposits of financial institutions. He would
thoro1y organize the Republican party for good

1t is reported that there will be an attempt

The long expected decision in the contempt
case of Attorney General Young has been hand

and the decision is entirely against the conten-
tons of the state. The court practically de-
cded that the commodity rate law passed last
winter is invalid on account of the severe
penalties provided in case of violation The
position of the supreme court seems to be par
ticularly against the regulation of railroads by
the states, and would indicate that the res

What a Woman Can %.

There are three things that every
woman might do. to help In beautify-
ing the world and making life better
worth living. One of these is to make
her person as beautiful as she can by
observing the laws Of health and pre-
serving that tranquil, trustful state
Of mind which is reflected in the face
and manner
Another is to learn to beautify her
dress. This does not mean to increase
It's complexity or its adherence to the
changes Of fashion: but rather to study
and experiment until she finds out
what forms. colors and styles are most
becoming to her. then adopt these, in
hair dressing and garments.
The third thing is to beautify the
place wherein she lives, whether 1t is
one room or a spacious home. Weed
out the wrong things; rearrange the
others. and force your dwelling place
TO express in some way your own feel
inks after what is beautiful and true.
No matter how circumscribed her life
these three steps toward the betterment
Of .he world are within, every woman's
reach.

Our correspondents letter gives W
an opportunity to say that secret So
cieties are Il danger to- civil no less
than to ecclesiastical society, and that
the condemnation by the Church Of
these societies has been due to these
facts. 1t Is the duty of the Church to
safeguard the fundamental moral
principles on which Christian States
have been founded. 1t is unfortunate
that many nom Catholics will always
criticize ecclesiastical legislation re-
gardless of it's merits; but it is still
more deplorable that even some Cath
olics. especially so-called intelligent
Catholics, blindly take sides in these,
Church. Many non Catholics, how
ever. men who have been really pa
triots, and able to rise above sec
tartan prejudices, wishing to protect
the interests Of society. have been at
one with the Church on this subject.
Let us conflne ourselves to our own
country. The issue Of one Of our
presidential elections, that of 1928,
turned mainly on condemning secret
societies. At that time also, and sub
sequently. state elections were fought
out on that question.
Adams and tho Prsemasons.
We have been reading recently with
great interest a volume of letters and
addresses by John Quincy Adams en-
titled Letters on the Masonic Institu-
ton" From these letters it is clear
that both John Quincy Adams and his
father, John Adams, the second presi-
dent Of the United States, looked with
great disfavor on the Masons and all
their branches, including the knights
Templar. 1t appears that in 1881 dur
ing a fierce controversy on the merits
and demerits Of these organizations
1t was said that both father and son
had belonged to the order. John
Quincy Adams. speaking for himself
and his illustrious father, wrote a
letter to the Boston Press dated Aug.
%, 1881. in which he denied in very
emphatic language that he or his ia
thar ever belonged to the craft.
In this same letter he says:
1.-THE use Of the name of Washing
ton, TO give an odor Of sanctity to the
institution lis, in my opinion,
as unwarrantable as that of my fa-
theirs name." --
This information regarding Wash
ington. in view of the claim made to-
day that he was member. is very in

had every opportunity of knowing the

Preparing For
Opening School
MARKED INCREASE IN PoPULA-
TION Is EXPECTED To SHOW
BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS WITH
LARGER NUMBER OF PUPILS.

General overhauling of the build
ing in order to place it in readiness
for the opening of the fall session of
public school. is being done at the
Ely school building. The date for
opening the session has been definite
ly fixed upon as September 3. both
i'm Ely and Ely City. The school boy
will have to commence to play harder
as will the little girl, as this is the
last week of vacation period, after
which will come the school year with
its stern realities of work to be done.
1t is confidently expected that the
enrolment in the Ely schools will
show a marked advance at the begin
ming of this year in comparison with
that of last. At the close of the ses-
sion last year the total enrolment
was 100 pupils. In the belief of
Prof p. c. Cullen the enrolment for
the month of September will total as
much as that. Before the close of
the year he expects to have in regu-
lar attendance 200 or more pupils.
At Ely City there is enrolment of
nearly 100 pupils for the beginning
of the term. There is assurance of
at least 90 pupils in the Ely high
school this term. whereas last year
there were only s pupils in the ad-
vanced classes at the close of school
The tutelary force of the Ely
school this year will consist of P. G.
