Japanese Courtesy.

A country where courtesy Is a busl
ness, and business but a gentle avo-
cation, reflects its popularity in the
most trifling details OF conduct Such
country is Japan and such a detail
recently came into notice when a city
electric bureau Of Tokyo asked the
patrons on its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
1t was necessary to urge them to
move up Out OF the 2.719 sugges-
tions sent in the Independent selects
and translates six. as follows:
Those not getting of, to the mid
die, please!"
THE middle Is more comfortable
I'm sorry. but all move on by one
strap"
There's a pretty girl about the
middle of the carl"
"A pickpocket has Just come On
board"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
tions, but the conductors will b.
taught to use scme of the other forms.
Is it possible that the japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
to. and we pass along the Japanese
idea as helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk gong on the hear of
our own street cars.

My feet we're greatly swollen. my
right arm was shrunken and twisted

tended except with great effort and
pain. Nothing seemed to give me more
than temporary relief.

about 30 years previously, drank

coffee-rarely missing meal.

is A FACTOR IN CIVILIZATION
Agriculture and its Importance IN
Can be Made TO Pay Well

Agriculture is the most import
ant factor in civilized life. No
uncivilized race has ever engaged
in it. Without the products of
the farm there could be no city,
no industry, and no commerce.
Notwithstanding, our splendid in
dustrial development, it is the
American farm that gives us our
balance of trade with the world.
Should the farms of the world
fail to yield their bounties for a
single year, the cities and towns
would be depopulated and the
whole earth become a universal
scene of want and desolation.
Men, animals, birds, insects and
plants, all alike are fed by what
grows on thin layer of ground
that, like a great blanket is tuck-
ed around the wrinkled and age
worn form of our planet. When
intelligently cultivated by good
tillage, rotation of crops and fer
tiizing, this light covering of soil
will not only produce abundantly,
but become more fertile with each
succeeding year. He who works
in harmony with nature on a farm
is the most independent man in
the world. And nowhere in the
United States is there better cli-
mate than in Florida, and climate e
is very necessary factor in farm
life.
While America is the greatest
food producing country on earth,
thaae is much cropping in the dark

WIN 4 living by drudgery from a
reluctant soil, when AN under
standing of natures laws, a knowl-
edge of the fact that the soil needs
food as does the animal, they
could in truth Sickle the soil
and make it laugh with harvests. .
And what is important, too,
farmers should know that after
the crop is gathered it should be
properly prepared for market.
Right care and feeding, too, should
be given to live stock. it will
pay we'll in both cases. st. Cloud

Florida a Fine COuntru

John b.. Cable, who has Just re-
turned from trip to Florida, was
asked by Warren (Pa.) Times
representative of Impressions the
visit to the Sunny South made.
He said:
Comparatively few people are
aware of the greatness of the State
of Florida, either in territorial ex-
tent, or in the abundance of her
resources. Florida has to her
credit an area of $3.50 square
miles, while the State of New
York has 9,17O.
"Florida has greater extent of
coast line than any other State in
the Union, which in a greater
measure is occasion for the gentle
breezes which nearly every day in
the year fans this land of sunshine
and flowers, always lending sweet
ness to the surroundings and new

scenes here in the north even when
nature is most profound in its
beauty.

FISH SWALLOWS MANS ARM
An Unusual and Narrowing Incident
Which Happened Near Here

Thrilling experiences are of al
most daily occurrence amongst the
Punta Gorda fishermen down the
bay. So frequently do they hap
pen that they come to be regarded
as of no consequence, and some
occurrences of rather sensational
nature never become generally
known.
One of the most unusual and
narrowing of recent incidents was
tie experience of Waddy Murphy,
negro who fishes with Harry
Gaskell in Bull Bay, a short dis
lance this side of Boca Grande.
He came near losing an arm and as
it was, the limb was terribly lacer
ated and is now being carried in
bandages.
Big FISH stay around the camp
and feed under the house, which is
built over the water, and the men
have been in the habit of washing
their hands in the bav, reaching
down from the floor a few feet
above. George Bryant had warn
ed the fellows that a shark would
bite 'em some time, but his warn
ing was unheeded.
Waddy was washing his overalls
and had put his arm into one leg
of tie garment trying straighten
it out under the water, when to his
horror and astonishment big
Jewish gulped down the overalls
and swallowed his arm up to the
shoulder.
There was O desperate struggle
and for awhile it looked like the
negro would not get away, but
finally he pulled his arm ont of the
fsh's maw, and stood almost
breathless, with it torn and bleed
ing from the fnger-tips up.
The men then got a hook and
line and began angling fer the
Jewish. He broke the first hook
which had been weakened by rust,
but it was replaced with a now
steel one which held, and the fish
was caught. He weighed 475
pounds and the meat from one side
of him filed q big wash tub.
Waddy found it necessary to
