"Battle-scared heroes"
That phrase once brought unpleasant
notoriety to a we'll meaning man who
failed to write what he meant and
found through bitter experience what
the omission of one letter may mean
in a written word.
Could the same think happen to you?
If so, why?
With the New websterian 1912 Die
tionary, Illustrated, at your elbow you
can avoid such pitfalls as writing
angle" when you mean angel" Some
person might take offence at being
called "a perfect angle
Think of what a vast difference
there is between stationery and sta

the hundreds of other comparisons
which can be culled from a dictionary.

The intelligence of the public is but
one of the principal elements which
have made the distribution of the en-
tire edition of the New Websterian
1912 Dictionary, Illustrated, seemingly
a most simple task.
The other element is the sterling
worth and beautiful appearance of the
book itself. A restaurant cashier in
one of the best patronized lunch rooms
in the city testified to this the other
day when it was remarked that she
had a New Websterian Dictionary ly-
ing beside her cash register.

WRITES LETTER
ONWATERWAYS
PRESIDENT AND CHIEF ENGI-
NEER OF THE ScHERZER ROLL
ING LIFT BRIDGE co. REGRETS
THAT HE CANNOT ATTEND
CONVENTION NEXT MONTH.

Because of interesting figures, facts
and conclusions contained therein, Lee
and j. Henderson, secretary of the
Mississippi to Atlantic Inland Water
way Association, makes public the fol-
lowing correspondence on the subject:
A recent communication from AL
bert FL. ScherZer, president and chief
engineer of the Scherzer Rolling Lift
Bridge Co., of Chicago, H.. reads as
follows
Upon my return to Chicago after
an absence OF a number of weeks your
kind letter. of the 30th ultimo has
come to my attention inviting me to
speak at the convention of the Mis-
sissippi to Atlantic Inland Waterway
Association next month.
If could follow my own wishes in
this matter I should be very glad to
accept the invitation but my engage
ments with the possibility of being
called to Europe at an early date make
this impossible.
! have recently had the pleasure of
attending the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Convention at New London and
was impressed with the strength of
the movement for an inland deep
waterway from Maine to Texas. in
which, as I understand it, the Missis-
sippi to Atlantic Waterway will form
section, serving not only a great
commercial purpose but also inval-
liable for the national defense in time
of war.
1t has been estimated that all the
deep waterway projects proposed in
the United States. If built within the
next ten years, would cost approxis
mately $500. o0o, 100000. This does not
appear to be a very large sum of
money in view of the fact that the
national wealth of the United States
Is now s125. 900, 900, 100000. Fifty years
ago we expended more than $4,000, 000,-
10000. one-fourth of our national
wealth, in destructive warfare. $780,
600, 100000 expended for these great
public improvements by the whole ma
ton is certainly not large sum of
money when we consider that within
the past thirty years some citizens
of the United States have obtained
private fortunes nearing and in excess
of $500. 0oo,0 10000 individually. The
credit and ability of the United States
government to make necessary public
improvements in the line of its duty
is without doubt greater than the abil-
ity of any individual.
Again thanking you for your
thoughtful invitation and wishing
success to the convention, ! am
Yours very truly,
ALBERT H. SCHERZER.
In reply to this letter, the secretary
of the Mississippi to Atlantic Inland
Waterway Association, writes as fol-
lows:

Small canneries
For Florida.

Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the statement that one of Florida's
greatest and most urgent needs is the
establishment of number of small
canneries. This is in no wise an argu-
ment against large canning factories,
but every village and individual farm
ing community in the state should
have a small plant for canning fruits
and vegetables
In the absence of the necessary data,
it is impossible to say how many thou
sands of cases of canned fruits and
vegetables are brought into Florida
every year. anyway the total is ap-
palling. All of this money should be
kept at home and in addition to this.
enormous quantities OF canned fruits
and vegetables should be sold into
other states.
The cost Of the equipment for a
small canning factory is inconsider-
able, in fact any enterprising fruit
grower and trucker may have a small
plant on his own farm. operated at
small expense. to consume his sur
plus stock of fruit and vegeta bies.
There are number Of small canneries
throughout the state. but these should
be only a beginning.

the young woman for these few kind
words and went on his way, thinking
how poor his powers of description

fiuence of exhibition of the dictionary

the day when henceforth and for

and restaurant meals, and enjoy food
served as his mother used to prepare.
(. It seems his wife had never at
tended cooking school, and being
like many 'sassiety" young ladies,
had paid but little attention to the
culinary art. and knowing this has
gone far in the way Of keeping the
husband from committing suicide.
