in praise of the splendid efforts and
results accomplished by Mr.. S. J. Nc
Gully in this section of Florida.
A few years ago I had occasion TO
visit and remain in Belgium for more
than a month. After leaving that
country | continued my trip around

what each government was doing to
enlighter and assist the farmer, but
Belgium was paying more attention TO
such schools than any other govern
ment. Lately 1t has been extending
instruction to the farm women. 1t is
establishing housekeeping schools for
farmers wives, and the girls who will
become farmers wives. There is no
higher agricultural instruction in the
universities than will be given in
these schools. They aim at giving a
sound technical education suitable for
young women intending TO take up ag-
riculture. The instruction comprises
a theoretical and practical course in
the following subjects: Natural his
tory, elements of agriculture. kitchen
gardening and flower growing, the ell
ements of animal husbandry. dairying
and domestic economy. the elements

OF commerce and bookkeeping. There
are also occasional courses in common
law and social economics.
The instruction given is not from

groups of four to six. and these girls
take their turn in feeding live stock,
milking cows. calculating the cost of
the rations. learning the good and bad

MR.. GEORGE Bitch is AMBl-
TlOUS

Mr.. George Bitch has the distinc-
ticn of being the youngest bank presi-
dent in Florida. That is a distinction
to be proud of. Naturally he is proud
of it himself. and his friends are also
proud of his achievement, and are
not slow in letting him know it.
Eow did he win his spurs?
by having money enough to go TO
Washington City and buy United
States bonds sufficient to meet the
requirements of the federal currency
laws, authorizing the establishment
of banks, and by virtue of holding the
largest number of shares, voting him
self its president?
Not at all.
George Bitch was not so fortunate
or unfortunate, according to one 8.
viewpoint.
Not being thus situated, our young
friend was compelled to reach this
height by we'll directed and intelligent
efforts-by virtue of merit, which
was brought about by useful and prof
table, and We ray be permitted to
say. a dominating influence, which in
turn was the result of a worthy, laud.
able and sleepless ambition.
Flushed with victory, we might say
in a manner like Napoleon's after his
first victory at Montenotte, the taste
was 50 inspiring and the animation
so great that he wanted to keep on
climbing to greater heights SO as to
maintain and satisfy the judgment of
those who placed him in command,
ard Napoleon knew that he could do
this only by doing things.
So Napoleon became the master
mind of the military world.
So. fired by fixed and we'll defined
purpose, President Bitch is determin
ed that the Commercial shall be sec
| ond to no bank of its size and resourc
es, and within its limitations either in
/ its quarters or in its business transac
tions, so he is enlarging and beautify
| ing its interior appointments, and
will replace the old fixtures and fur
nishings with new ones.
The steps leading to the second
floor have been moved further back
from the entrance, and the room for
merly occupied by Miss Affleck as g
millinery establishment has been ap
propriated in the new arrangement
and will be used as a part OF the
banks spacious and handsome quar-
tiers.
New vaults of the latest and most
approved character are to be among
the banks new fixtures.
When the changes and improve
ments contemplated are completed il
is President Blitch's dream that the
Commercial, in floor space and int
rior furnishings and decorations, com
pared with other similar institutions
may be like the dream of good Ben
Adhem's, which reads something like
this:
And, 10! Ben Adhem's name led
all the rest!"

SOME FACTS ABOUT A
SHINY COMPLEXION

A shiny complexion Is the result OF
too much natural oil In the skin, and
though diet may affect this quite
natural but unpleasant condition, the
best method to avoid shining IL to
use some drying but softening prep
aration on the complexion. or course
we have long known that in most
cases powder gives an unquestioned
artificial appearance, and many have
long used liquid face powder. Now
science has made 1t very easy to
make at home a perfect liquid face
powder which gives velvety, youth
full glow to the face. Get 2 ounces
Kavon from your druggist and dis
solve 1t In IL pint of hot water. This
readily covers and relieves shininess,
roughness. irritation, tan and dis
, colored neck. IL Is concentrated
liquid face powder which. when made,
is not clear liquid depending upon
rapid drying and crystallizing to give
a powder effect, but Is creamy To-
ton that will not settle or separate
when standing. easy to apply, is not
sticky and dries quickly, seeming part
OF the skin when on. Among all
liquid face powders Kavon Is the only
one In which It's makers have such
confidence that they will mail a free
trial to all who write them, Peterson
