Commissioner Watkins
Advice

November 21st being designated
by our governor as good roads day
means a great deal, if we will get to-
gether and use it for its purpose as
we would any other day for some
specific purpose. | hope that every
man in district No. will work. Let
each neighborhood decide on some
road and do a good days work on
that day. I, myself, will give time
and attention to roads around Dun
Mellon, and we expect to come out
in a good majority and do some
hardening, strawing. cutting, repair
ing and Strengthening. l hope and
would suggest that some one in each
community will take charge Of the
day and also get them lined up for
the working and lets make a good
showing. If We don't rank first in
the county, let us be among the first.
Hoping that all will turn out on
November 21st, l am, yours,

FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, Nov. 13.-Eyerythin
here is taking on the usual fall hus-
tie and all are busy with their pre-
parations for the winter activities
Our farmers are especially busy
this season. Mr.. ]. H. Carter has
in his fields sixteen pIows every day
preparing the ground for a hundred
acre cabbage crop. AS soon as his
CABBAGE is planted he will begin work
clearing up for melons. of which he
vii plant $50 acres. Mr.. Carter will
this season plant his cabbage with
power planter, the first TO be intro
duced in this section Of the county
and the experiment will be watched
with much interest by the farmers,
as the setting OF cabbage by hand is
rather an expensive proposition TO
the growers. If the setting by ma
chinery is successful it will mean a
good margin on the profits.
Mr.. W. L. Goodwin, who for the
past eight years has had charge of
the McEair turpentine interests in
this county, has resigned his position
and will tickle the soil during the
winter and spring. He has prepared
forty acres Of splendid land just
west OF Fairfield for early cabbage.
The Philadelphia orange grove.
the property Of j. r. Williams of
Citra, is in splendid shape now and
the crop Of grapefruit and oranges
is fine. Shipments have already be-
gun and from one to two carloads a
day are leaving the packing housees
north of town. Mr. E T. Johnson
has charge of the Philadelphia and
by the way he is handling the crop
OF fruit this season, he is just the
man for the place. A small strike
was started in the packing house a
few days ago, but everything was
amicably settled and the work is
moving along smoothly.
The Wetumpka grove southeast
OF town is shipping quite a good deal
OF fruit at present, with prospects
for large crop.
A number of the farmers are kill

storage. Quite a number will avail
themselves of the new cold storage
plant at Reddick as soon as it is in
shape to receive meats, this being
our nearest point.

COST OF CRIME IN U. S.

Staggering figures as to what the
annual warfare against crime costs
the United States are contained in
an estimate submitted recently by
Prof. Charles J. Business of Wash
ington, ID. C. He puts the total at
the overwhelming figure of $6,000,-
100000 year, and other experts
have pronounced this relatively
close approximation. This total in
cludes all the money that is spent in
arresting, trying, convicting, punish
ing and feeding criminals, and the
losses they cause through theft, in
cendiarism, etc.
Figures of such denominations are
so bewildering that the average per-
son cannot conceive of what they real
ly mean. A better idea of it can be
shown when it is said that this outlay
annually would build twelve Panama
| canals. 1t is six times as much as
congress appropriated for all nation
al eApeHses dt tHe CioSe VI .ie iasi
fiscal year.
1t is more than the governments of
the United States, Germany, France
and Great Britain paid out for all
governmental purposes in the year
1912, a year that was characterized by
huge national drains because of
building big battleships and the in
crease of armies and their equipment
in Europe.
The money cost in the United
States is divided among the national
and state governments. The Massa-
chusetts Prison association has esti-
mated that in that state alone the an
nual crime bill is S6,500000, all of
which money sooner or later has to
come out of the taxpayers pockets.
And in spite of this enormous out
lay crime is constantly increasing in
this country.
William Tallack, secretary of the
Howard association Of London, pris-

NEW STEEL EQUIPMENT
FOR THE NEW HAVEN

The first of the new steel cars ord
cred for the New Haven road has
been received, and by the end of the
year it is estimated that twenty five
of these will be placed in service. The
car is 80, feet in length and has a
seating capacity of SS persons. The
heating system is regulated automat-
ically by pressure. Each car is furn-
ished with its own lighting system,
the current being generated by a
dynamo which is run by belt at
tached to the car axle. The floor con-
sists of sheet steel with a composition
covering that is fireproof, and the
cars are also protected from the heat
in summer and cold in winter by a
heavy insulation of hair felt and as
bestos.

AUSTRALIANS ARTEsIAN WELLS

1t is interesting to recollect, says
the Engineer, that over a very large
area of Australia, and especially
where the rainfall is light, it is pos
sibly to tap an apparently inexhaust-
ible supply of artesian water by bor-
ing. In this way much has been
added to the value of large tracts of
country, both for stock carrying and
general productive purposes. Latest
developments would seem to indicate
that the artesian area is even greater
than was at first supposed. For some
time the South Australian govern
ment has been boring for water on
the southern limits of the artesian
basin in the neighborhood of Lake
Frome, and last month supply of
good quality water was tapped, equal
to 100000 gallons day.

raise nothin' but a mortgage on his
farm, because it was on such high N

plan to raise the best 'taters in all

then he sows onions among them.

ENGLAND'S BIRTH RATE LOWER

LONDON, Dec. 12-Startling facts
and deductions concerning England's
steadily decreasing birth-rate are
contained in the annual report of the
registrar general, published today.
The rate has been gradually declin-
ing since 1876, when it was 1868 per
thousand. 1t is now only 23.S per
thousand. The growing reluctance of
the men and women of England to
assume parental responsibility is
shown by the figures of average age
at marriage in the past year-29
years for husbands and 27 years for
wives. Further, it is disclosed that
the ratio of births to the number of
married women of potential age has
decreased 30 per cent in the past
three decades. In other words, if
there had been no change in the ratio
births in the past year would have
numbered 1,273,69s instead of s43,-
sos.
The birth rate is higher in Wales;
next comes the north of England,
with the south having the lowest rate
which would be still lower but for
London. The winning countries are
the most productive of children, while
the agricultural countries are the
least. Legitimate children are most
frequent in rural communities and
least so in London. Deliberate re-
striction in child bearing" is ascrib-
ed by the report as the chief reason
for the present low rate.

WOMEN WHO KEEP SECRETS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 12.-
If there's anyone in the United States
or any other country who doesn't be-
lieve there's a woman in the world
can keep a secret let that person ap-
ply to the United States house of rep
rssentatives- Any member of the
house can point out to the unbeliever,
six women who keep thousands of
secrets, and valuable secrets, too,
every day in the year. These six
women who can keep secrets was told
today by Representative Sherley of
Kentucky to a recent addition to the
house.
Secrets, more than two thousand
a day, bearing on the most important
questions of craftsmanship and legis-
lation, pass over the telephone lines
of this capitol every twenty-four
hours and never has one been told.
Six women over there in the house

boards, hear these confidential talks.

patronage, lobbies, love, politics, cur
rency, and what not, topics are dis
cussed over these wires among men in
