There had been a lovers quarrel
and it was his first visit in two weeks.

little sister.
Eyes, indeed" responded the latter
without hesitation.
"Well-er-do you think Clara will
make up when she comes down."
Little Bessie leaned over nearer and
whispered:
"She ought to, Mr.. Bilkins. She is
upstairs making up now"
Sheer white goods, In fact, any f1ns
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

Representative D.H.Mays
Writes to the Farmers

Now, my purpose in this letter is
to tell you that ! have placed lists of
these bulletins with the editors In
each county and such bulletins as
each section may fen an interest In,
which you can obtain upon applica-
ton either as individuals or clubs.
Look over the lists and If you wish
bulletins not in possession of the
editor write me and / will gladly fur
nish them. 1 promise to give you
upon application any information the
department may have on any sub
ject relating to agriculture.
Since my arrival in Washington and
participating in framing the tariff bill,
/ am more convinced than ever that
the farmer is the backbone of our
country and the mainstay OF all its
institutions. More than ever con-
WINGED that you need representatives
in the councils OF our nation, that
while fair to all interests, will not
muzzle the OK that treadeth out the
corn"
1 believe the real life and love and
happiness and hope really is among
the great masses Of the people who
do their work obscurely, but accord
ing as opportunity allows, and live
true to obligation as it is presented.
They are the people who make life
and give it its sweetness and zest and
who in their quiet ways bring the
great results and give character TO
communities, countries and nations.
Write me when I can serve you.

glad to furnish literature to our

cultural department to help us with
agricultural schools, and with litera-
ture in our schools help US to have
more enlightened farmers, help us to
educate our boys and girls SO they
will be better equipped to take their
places in the worlds Oldest and most

blance or truth and which there is
often neither time nor opportunity to
ratify. It is true that such news Is
frequently brought In by a reporter,
more or less green and impressionable
or one who has not been sufficiently
wise in Judgment or careful In inves-
tigation. But q newspapers is not
censurable, even in this case, except,
perhaps, insofar as the management
may have displayed poor discrimina-
ton in selecting such an employee.
1t is right and proper that newspa-
pers should be protected by law from
discreditable newsmongers who i'm
pose directly upon their editors or on
the class Of reporters alluded to; AID
the example of New York, in which
state the furnishing Of false news lis
a misdemeanor, should be followed by
every state in the Union. The fol-
lowing clipped from Practical Ad-
vertising" shows how the New York
law works:
For furnishing false information to
a reporter for a New York morning
newspaper, E. W. WEIGH, a lawyer,
was given the alternative of paying q
fine of $3.50 or OF going to jail. The
suit involved a claim for damages and
incidentally woman's reputation.
City Court Justice La Fetra in his
decision said: Il want to say that It
is illegal for any one to parcel out
fakes. or false stories, to newspapers.
For a lawyer to be guilty Of any such
indiscretion is doubly criminal, for
the reason that he not only does an
Injustice to the newspapers, but ne
puts the Bar Association in bad re-
pute. Both have troubles enough to
contend with without anomalies Of the
character contained in the papers be-
fore me-" Justice La FetTa refused
to accept any OF the excuses offered
by the defendant The action was
taken under an enactment by the New
York legislature, which makes it a
misdemeanor to give false infoTma-
ton to a newspaper.
This law will undoubtedly go long
way in purifying the columns Of the
New York papers and will, besides,
serve as a preventative for many a
libel suit. A few sentences sach as
that imposed by Judge La Fetra upon
WEIGH will prove a terrible warning
to liars in general and guard the
tongue of those exaggerative news
mongers who have heretofore given
full vent to fancy and even Ubiquitous

farmer friends as possible. and :

our country, and why not? With eli
mate unsurpassed in the world and
soil naturally productive, capable OF
being brought up to the very highest
standard Of production by methods
that are being used in other sections
Of our country already bringing such
splendid results, causing land hereto
to be worth more than one hundred
dollars and supporting. more than
five times our population.

shine in our hearts and bring smiles
on our faces that will not wear OFF.
I do not propose to read you a lee
ture, but If by any service of mine
can cause two blades of grass TO
grow where one grows now | Will
feel as if have done some good.
Since I have been in Washington
/ am agreeably surprised to find that
the agricultural department Is doing
a great work for the farmers of our
country and its great head and his
able assistants are alive to our posi-
bilities. Among other things, they
are issuing bulletins on all subjects
of interest to the farmer, written by
live, educated, practical men, that
ought and will excite much interest
wherever they are received and read.

New York Has Placed
A Muzzle on Liars.

Very often one hears some news
paper in particular or newspapers in
general accused OF stretching the
truth-nay worse, of being given. on
occasion. to downright lying. The
Journal Is not denying the fact that
certain sensational sheets are deiib-
erately guilty OF this sort of thing,
and thereby, alas! promote their cir
eulation; for a large portion of the
American public, and other publics,
care but little whether what they
read be the truth or not so long as it
is rendered agreeable to their morbid
appetite by sufficient seasoning of
scandal, Observation-Disclosures, raw
head-and- bloody bones and other con-
diments productive of excitation.
But the great majority OF newspa-
pers are not proper subjects for criti-
cism in this direction. They may
make mistakes, but who is infaIIible?
Their errors are not Intentional, and
they honestly, earnestly strive to full
Ill their mission Of giving readers the
news OF events as they actually occur,
commenting editoFially on such events

Mobile Begins An
Anti-F1y Crusade.

From the Mobile Register it is
learned that the council Of it's city
has practically tnaugurated the anti
ny campaign by the passage OF an
ordinance requiring all. bakeries.
Kitchens Of public cafes and restau-
rants, or where food is served to be
screened" Thirty days are allowed
the owners or operators OF these
establishments to comply with the
Law.
The Register properly claims that
another ordinance Is needed, such as
will require such care and cleanliness
IN the keep OF stables within the city
limits as will abolish flies from such
places" and It further declares 1t
knows "from q present example Of
fered by the Southern Express Com
pany's stables that flies can be routed
out and their breeding places de-
stroyed," comparing the immune
condition Of those stables with others
where lilies breed by the million and
form q great nuisance in the neigh
borhood."
From the decided action taken by
the Pensacola Board OF public Works
Wednesday evening toward disinfect-
ing the city's disgusting. fiy-breeding
garbage pile, it looks as though our
authorities were beginning to realize
the Importance OF destroying the
dangerous pests. We take it that this
IL but the first step-one which viii
be followed up with a more extensive
activity In other directions. For the
crusade to be effective must be most
comprehensive.
The ordinances now before the city
council should be reported and
passed without further delay. One of
them provides for a system OF screen
ing more extensive and which will
prove far more effective than that
now in force in Mobile. But this
screening is, after all, but a refuge
from, 8 defense against carelessness.
The real fight consists in destroying
the breeding places OF the flies; and
toward this end, such as the cleansing
and disinfecting Of stables and other
eenters OF production, a persistent
and vigorous effort should be directed.
