tional bank notes. Under the
terms OF that act, which is today
looked upon as one OF the great
est pieces of constructive states
manShlp accomplished in this
generation, the toal which the
treasury may issue under the
act amounts to the enormous
sum OF one billion, two hundred
million dollars. These notes are
full legal tender and are being
distributed to banks throughout
the country as rapidly as the
presses can produce the money
and the Secretary's office can
ship it to the applicants.
"Ilad it not been for this act
and the preparedness of the de
partment to turn out the emer-
gency currency with promptness
and despatch" said Joseph E.
Ralph, director OF the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing, "a
trightful monetary panic might
have OCCURRED

has been "on the Job" twenty out

II am positively candidate for
governor said w. V. Knott to a
Jacksonville Metropolis reporter the
other day. This clearly excludes the
hypothesis that Mr.. Knott will be
negatively candidate for governor,
certifies his political check, so to
speak, and makes it current for its
face value in the coming State cam
paign. That's the way for a man
to talk when he wants an office.
These timid, tentative candidates
who are waiting for popular up

hurl them into the campaign amid
the unprecedented enthusiasm of
the great common people, might as
we'll understand that the fine old
maxim of our simple fathers that the
work now unless it's one OF these
purely honorary jobs without emol-
uments and a right smart of work
attached TO it, to boot, in which you
have to furnish your own stamps
and be your own private secretary.
We should be glad to have all the
candidates in the state campaign
attach the prefix positively" to their
announcements for office, for it
gives the rare charm of force and
decision of character to both the
man and his ambition, puts electric
ity in his aura and stimulates his
friends to a more ardent support.

The Orlando Reporter-Star moves
to amend b. excluding from further
consideration the proposition to
have Florida as a whole represent
ed by an exhibit at the San Fran
cisco exposition and permitting the
Florida Citrus Exchange and the
Tampa Cigar makers to exhibit there
at their own expense. That might
help some if the State is not to be
fully and officially represented Any
way to get our citrus fruits in full
and fair comparison with those of
California, but anything short of a
tirst-class exhibit would do more
harm than good, and we doubt if
the Citrus Exchange would be will
ing to incur the heavy cost neces-
sary to that end.

Saturday, August 18th, at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. S.
! MeIlarg, on South Florida ave-
nue..
! Mr. Me1arg has for many
years been connected with the
Government agricultural work,
having been State Agent for
Florida. Now retired from ac-
tive work, he enjoys his fine or
ange and grapefruit grove, which
overlooks the beautiful waters OF
Lake Hollingsworth.
Though threatening clouds
hung over us, they failed to mar
the pleasure OF the delightful So
cial time OF the forenoon.
a sumptuous dinner under the
orange trees, followed by coffee,
served from the Clubs new col
ice pots. An hour OF social tete-
a-tetc was enjoyed by the club
members and their guests. For
the Farmers Club is intensely
social in its characteristics. The
hearty handshake, and beaming
smile with which the members
greet each other, give evidence
OF this TACT; also, the hearty well
come extended each new mem
Der, makes them feel they are one
OF us.
The business meeting was full
oi interest. The quotation for
the day:
"IIe, who by the plow would
thrive.
Himself must either hold or
drive. -Franklin.
The subject for discussion -
The Truck Farm: Best crops
ior profit; what soil to plant i'll,
and management OF crops
This subject was Of vital inter-
est to all who would a living
make IRON the bosom OF Mother
Earth. Mr.. lversen gave his ex-
perience in the culture OF pep
pers, egg plant and Bermuda on
Ilons-these three vegetables Civ.
ing fine financial returns. Fall
|bcans, cabbage, and tomatoes
were all considered good crops.
MIR. Gray gave the Club an in
teresting talk on strawberry cul-
ture, and as he is very success
ful withking strawberry, many
notes were taken Of his methods.
Ii our Vice President, MIR.
Lcwellyn had been present, the
Club would have learned how
tins luscious berry is grown in
Strwberry Hollow. Not much
uneasiness was felt by our farm
ers about the war cutting off our
supply Of potash from Germany.
From the hardwood ashes, the
berries will be just as red and
firm as from imported German
potash.
The programs were distribut-
ed, and are full OF literary merit, ,
the quotation for each month be- !
ing especially applicable. Thanks
is due Juge Preston for this
handsome program
McsSrs. Gardner, Sehurman,
Stansberry gave strong talks and !
urging the Farmers Club, as a
united body to vote its support
to The Folk County Fair. 1t
was the opinion OF the Club, that

partment of the Mississippi River

SELECTION PLAN
WILL Be CHANGED
METHOD OF. CHOOSING RHODES
SCHOLARS TO BE MADE DIFF
FERENT THIS YEAR.

Iowa City, July Exchanges have
been made in the method of choosing
Rhodes scholars from the United
States, according to bulletin which
has been received at the office of
President r. H. Macbride Of the Uni
versity Of Iowa.
Hitherto scholars have been elected
in all the states of the union in two
successive years, while in each recur-
ring third year none were chosen. This
method of election has complicated the
problem of allocating the scholars
among the various colleges in which
the space for residence is strictly
limited.
The trustees have accordingly de-
cided to spread the election of scholars
over three years. To effect this change
scholars will be hereafter chosen from
thirty-two states each year. For this
purpose the forty-eight states have
been divided into three groups-A, B
and C-of sixteen each.
Iowa is in the B list, as group c
from which no election will be held
for 1916 consists of those states which
have furnished the least competition
since the organization of the scholar
ship system.
The next examination in lowe will
be held at Iowa City at the university
on October and 6.
