Substitute for Wheat.

It is now conceded that F1oridans can
raise nearly everything they want at
home, not excepting the tea and sugar,
but it is the general impression that we
will have to depend upon the wheat
fields of the Northwest for Our daily
bread We also labored under this de-
luslon until a day or two since Mr.. A.
F. Spawn brought us in some cakes to
be tested. They were fine, and not only
that but they were grown and made in
Florida We could not have guessed
their composition had Mr.. Spawn not
informed us that they were made from
sweet potatoes and cassava flour, and
during the conversation he presented
figures to show that the amount of -four
that can be produced per acre is more
than three times that from wheat, in
weight, while in nutritive value it far
excels the latter.
If he who makes two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before is a
benefactor to the human race, then GER
tainly man who discovers and gives to
the State the means of curtailing the
expense of living without sacrificing
health should come under the same
head
We shall welcome the day when Flor
idians can take a load of sweet pota-
toes and cassava to the mill and re-
ceive in return their equivalent in a
flour. which while not taking the place
of the wheat entirely will at least dis
place it to a great extent and thus make
us more independent.
Mr.. Spawn is making this flour on a
small scale at Fernandina, but we un-
derstand has formed company to man
ufacture it at Jacksonville and possibly
at other points in the State

q BY EMPLE BAILEY :

It Is not often that a woman
builds house with her own hands,
and then lives in it alone for five
years, tilling the soil and getting
ont Of it living for herself and a
child.
There were people III the nearby
town who criticized Gloria. why
doesn't she take her little brother
and work in some kitchen? That
would be woman's work"
When Gabriel Marks heard that
taunt, he turned TO the man who
had made it and demanded, Can
YOU imagine Gloria Strong as a
slave Of the whims and caprices Of
another woman-your wife, for ex-
ample" ?"
i don't see,' Seth Bowles retort-
ed, ''that my wife has any more
whims than the rest of them"
NO" Gabriel admitted, "but the
women of our town weren't brought
up to keep servants, and they don't
know how to treat them. And !
can't imagine Gloria Strong taking
orders from anyone"
"Not even from a husband ?" Seth
.sneered. eff Gloria Strong should
marry you, what then? You'd be
the master of any woman"
Gabriel felt that he would like to
strike that sneer from Seth's face
But he knew the futility Of such q
feeling. What could such a man
know of the timidity which the
most masterful man feels when in
the presence of the woman he loves !?
1t was this very timidity which
had at first kept Gabriel from con-
Tossing his love to Gloria. lie had

MANY QUEEN WASPS,

At the annual show of Burghfeld

shade of the trees. It was in these
moments, stolen from toll, that Ga
briel had learned to appreciate the
sweetness of wonanliness which Law
behind the almost masculine firm
ness of Gloria's character. There
had been hot days, too, when the
small brother, Bensie, had brought
from the house a pitcher Of cool
milk, and the brown bread and
cream cheese for his masters lunch
And she had made Gabriel share
these things.
1T is SO easy for me TO make
more" she had said, "and YOU have
TO depend on stuff from the bak-
ery-you must get tired of it."
"How do you manage to do a
mans work and a woman's ?" Ga
briel questioned.
For a moment shadow lay in her
eyes, then she laughed. 81 am hap
pier" she said, when [ am busy"
Three times in five years Gabriel
asked her to marry him. But she
would not. Il must live nv life
alone" she had said, and would not
be persuaded beyond, that.
Gabriel was a patient man and a
strong one He bided his time. At
last the chance came, and although
she did not ask him to give his life
for her, she asked something greater
than that, for she put his honor at
stake,
"1ou remember, Gabriel" she
said, coming into his house one
night when a winter storm ragged

an had given YOU some money in

''Why should Bensie ever know
that he had such father as CYRUS

little sob she leaned against him,
and hid her face in his coat, and
cried as any weak woman might.
