Success
When the project of the Young
Mems Christian Association was first
proposed Is seemed like large under
taking for community the size of
Mount Vernon, but through the enter.
prise and energy of our young men
over $4,000 were raised, a desirable
location purchased and building
erected, which has not only been ap.
proved by, but has been source of
pride, on the part of the entire COM

The organization was thorough and
competent, a membership of over 500

which should command the respect,
interest and support of everyone who
has genuine interest in the moral,
intellectual and general well-being of
our young men.

No More Green Oranges.

Dealers in oranges which have been
taken from the trees when green and
made yellow by placing them in artifi-
cial heat are TO be dealt with as dealers
in adulterated foodstuffs by the Federal
Government, according to notices for
warded TO all State Food and Drug Com
miSsioners from the United States De.
partment of Agriculture.
The Federal authorities have been
studying the average sour orange of the
common market, and have found that ii
usually comes from orchards where
fruit is treated to the artificial process.
This results in skin of the proper
color, but the fruit is not properly
ripened, the acid of the green fruit re-
naming unchanged. If left on the trees
10 ripen properly the acids would give
way 10 sugars.
The Federal authorities found the
acids to be inimical TO the health of the
consumer, particularly the children, and
have ruled that the artificial ripening
constitutes adulteration. According TO
the practices of the Boards of Health,
the ruling of the Federal authorities
will be made a rule of the various states.

The State University.

The University OF Florida has made
excellent progress during the past three
or four years. The attendance has in.
creased from 1903 in 1909 TO more Than
240 in 1911. There is no primary or
grammar school in connection with the
University. 1t is a strictly high grade
Institu ion and is attended by mature
young men. The University embraces
four colleges and the Agricultural Expe-
riment Station and the Extension Divis-
ion Including Farmers Institutes, Cor
respondence Courses, Lecture Bureau,
etc. ) and the School of Graduate Stu
dies.
The attendance is distributed as fol-
lows: In the Graduate school, 7; in the
Liberal Arts College, 81 students; in the
Agricultural College, 80 students; in the
Engineering College Civil, Electrical
and Mechanical Engineering, As STU
dents; in College of Law, AZ students;
and SO special students in all depart
mentS. fl Florida counties and 10
states were represented in the enroll
ment last year.
Let our Florida people patronize their
home institutions and not yield to the
fad that change of climate is necessary.
There is no better climate in the world
than our Florida fall, winter and
Spring. If change of latitude is ever de-
sirable, it is during our summer. Let
us be loyal to our State and to our home
colleges. Let our boys make their last
ing friendships among their own fellow
citizens, who are TO be the leaders in
state affairs in the years TO come.

Hymn.
By cool Siloam'S shady rill,
How fair the lily grows;
How sweet the breath beneath the
hill
OF lions dewy rose.
Prayer.
o, Thou, who hast taught US 10
find Thy tokens in the heavens, in
the earth and in the deep, help us to
be sensitive enough TO see somewhat
of Thy wondrous teaching in these
rare, sweet days. May the fowls of
the air and the flowers of the field
instruct US how TO look up TO Thee
in the trust that is unfretted in wait
ing. Amen.
Sermon.
Consider the lilies OF the field,
how they grow. Matt. 6:2S.
Botanists are not finally agreed as TO
what species of lily the Master had in
mind when He spoke these words.
Maybe He spoke genericalIy rather
than specifically, to broaden His
teachings. Let US take it SO.
Wherever and however lilies grow
they stress the truth that, being
where God puts US, we may leave
the life TO His ordering.
Some lilies grow in Swallowed
places; and yet so beautifully do they
grow that Jesus had Himself, in
prophecy, forenamed the silly of the
valley" How finely this little
flower illustrates Gods power to
beautify shadowed lives. Once in
little cottage, saw a man helpless
and crumpled with rheumatism. But
his face shone with Gods beauty.
Some lilies grow TO beauty out of
blacklist conditions. The water-lily,
with its gold-lined chalice, is rooted
in the slime. Read Mr.. Harold Beg
bie'S little book. "Twiceborn Men"
and you may see that human lives
may be lilies out of the mire. If this
little sermon should fall under the
eye OF some one down and out"
let him consider the water-lily, how
it grows 10 beauty; and see what the
God Of the lily can do for his mire-
rooted life.
Lilies growing from the dead.like
bulbs as they do, are pictures OF re-
generation from the death in tres
passes and in sins; and of the reSur-
rection of the body. Consider how
they grow, and learn their mighty
lessons. J. NJ. B.

MAKING Themselves Known,

Persons who expect to receive mon
ey orders in strange town take in
finite precautions t. identify them
selves" said a postal clerk. "One
way that particularly commends itself
is for the stranger to call on the pay
ing teller in the money order depart
ment before his own order arrives and
present a bunch of correspondence
showing pretty clearly who he is. He
then explains that he is expecting a
money order from a certain person.
Can the clerk remember him when he
presents it for payment? After that
impressive introduction the clerk
usually can remember, and when the
order is presented he cashes it."-New
York Sun.

Swiss Cow Bells.

1t is the CUSTOM of Swiss mountain
GERS to hang bells on the necks of their
cows. and so accustomed and attached
do the animals become to these bells
that the deprivation of them is felt
as a punishment If any COW has
been guilty of straying or unseemly
behavior, breach of discipline. or any
vicious trick the displeasure Of the
herdsman is not testified by blows,
but by temporary deprivation of her
bell, and this seldom fails to reduce
her to order and to prevent reped-
ton of the offense.

The Spell of Mariners Lake.
ROBERT T. RIDDELL.

NObI-hI II itlbDlSLl4'
Afar in the Southland meath Florida's
skies
If bright, happy home you would
make,
Just pitch your tent where contentment
sure lies
By our own beautiful Mariners Lake
Its waters like crystal-sparkling and
clear
Its pine crested hills rising fair to see
Once under the spell it casts on you
here
You long for its charm where e'er you
may be.
Der the green OF the pines the sunsets
red glow
Paints the skies as no artist could do
The view from it's hill tops entrances
you so
No other fair scenes seem so lovely to
you.
Sometimes white caps, when the
norther blows cold
On Silverwhite sands of it's shores
may break;
The sun tips their crest with Hastings OF
gold
And tints of opal color Mariners Lake.
The mocking bird sings here its sweet.
est songs,
And builds leafy homes in the orange
trees;
You almost forget earth has sorrows or
wrongs
When lulled to rest by the ocean
breeze.
The orange groves grow in emerald and
gold,
And pictures of natures rare beauty
make
And painted again, new beauties unfold,
In the mirror OF Mariners Lake.
On an island fair where live oaks grow,
And gray Spanish moss clingS and
swings
Many times merry parties of picnicerS
go;
The air with their music and mirlh it
rings,
The flowers bloom bright-thc echos
fly fast,
Where some sound from the woods
makes them wake
Sharp and Clear-dying faint in dis
lance at last
When moonlight is Silvering Mariners
Lake.
Sometimes, when spring in it's beauty
is here,
And the life of woods and waters is
out
Strange sounds may be heard, both ceric
an queer,
You wonder what reptile or beast is
about.
When the cleaning grows dark and
stars twinkle bright,
Odd meanings, and groaningS, and
bellows awake
Unknown TO you these queer voices OF
night
IT'S the aligator's love song in Mari,
ncrS Lake.
Fair as the morning, as bright as the
day,
Like rich gem set in Florida's crown,
On this lovely lake, from the world far
away,
The white dove of peace lights and
settles down,
Fine homes are here, and watch and
ward keep
Their jewellers life'S choicest blcs-
sings partake;
The demons of envy and jealousy sleep
For loyal hearts beat around Mariners
Lake.
When bells OF the past chime on south
crn air,
Far away from the north-it'S storms
and cold
Dur thoughts turn TO those who wait for
US there
They, too, think Of us with longings
untold,
And when. this music OF Mcm'ry is
heard
falling sweet and low as soft rpples
break
This song of the heart, as the song of
bird,
5 set 10 the music Of Mariners Lake.
