Lakeland Ladies Contribute
To Fourth's Celebration
At Woman's College


During the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at the Woman's College came
South Florida with a splendid, loud
Infringing yell, after which her stu
dents sang, to the tune of Peg O
My Heart" the following words
written by Misses Mary McRae, of
Lakeland, Marguerite Scale, of Sara
sofa, Nance Richter and Rose Gard
uer of Miami:
South Florida, we've loved you
Since we were born,
We've loved your oranges and corn,
Each dewey morn;
There's where all people gather,
Cause we have such pleasant
weather.
South Florida, we love you;
You are our own; we love YOU.
Well make our home forever more
in your heart.
South Florida, we love you,
Beautiful land we love you;
oysters and pearls,
Such pretty girls;
Boating, fishing and canoeing,
Are the things we're always doing.
South Florida, we love YOU;
Our golden fruits, we love you
Come to our land,
You'll understand
We love you.
Not only the success of South Flor
ida's part of the program, but that
of the entire entertainment was the
result of the ardent enthusiasm and
untiring efforts of Miss Maud
Schwalmeyer of the College for
Women, Tallahassee, and Miss May
Tomlinson of Lakeland. We do not
wonder at this when we remember
that both of these teachers are a
source of inspiration to all whom
they teach.

One hour of enjoyment for the small
sum of 5 and 10 cents. Come and
have "dime" good time.
Morris tribune., 1914-10-23

Minnesota is fortunate in having
so satisfactorily solved its inmate
labor problem In most other states
they are having more or less trou-
BILE while we have settled along lines
that make for the greatest good
to the largest number, so that while
the Institution is much more than
self-supporting. it is also great
benefit to the taxpayers of our COM
monwealth. At the same time it
provides wholesome work for the
inmate that does not compete with
honest workmen in the state. Since
the increase in the population con-
tinues and the piece-price shoe con-
tract has expired. it will be necessary
to provide other employment aside
from that now required in the manu-
facture of binding Irvine and farm
machinery. After counting out the
increased numbers that will be re-
quired to keep pace with the farm.
machinery output, think it is safe to,
say that we shall need other employ
ment for some two hundred or two
hundred and fifty inmates:
AS there is natural public de-
mand for the use of some of the pri-.
son inmates in building good roads,
this might be a good time to COM
mence, say with one hundred and fifty
men divided into three or four moving
camps. providing inexpensive stock
AIDES for winter camps on accessible
rock quarries from which freight rates
will be favorable. Here the summer
supply of crushed rock can be made
during say the five winter months.
The other seven months of the year
these men could be employed in build
ing roads"
And | have said and do now say
that it is not reasonable to suppose
that Warden Wolfer is a part of this
conspiracy" and that it is not rea-
sonable to suppose that the state of
Minnesota should at this late date
alow any conspiracy" to cripple
the work of this prison on which mill
lions of dollars have been spent; and
that it is not reasonable to suppose
that legislature composed of farmers
and people who depend on the farmer
for their prosperity could be induced
to pass legislation which would Grip
pie the farm machinery plant; and /
have further said that any voter who
wished to find out the truth could ask
hundred members of the last legis-
lationure. and he would find out that
the Minnesota machinery plant is alb
solutely safe from any such "conspir-
acy"

VIII Tell the Truth.

These are the things which I have
said concerning Mr.. Spooner. and
they are here reduced to writing itlI
answer to his threatening letters
And l shall continue to say them,
and l will refer any voter to the off.
cial records, and if Mr.. Spooner does
not like it, can't help it.
/ am no match for Mr.. Spooner in
argument with his lifelong training
as a lawyer, and he will probably
answer this, and he may be reelected.
but when you get SpoOner's answer
to the above statements set forth
by me, ] ask you to 60 to the County
Auditors Office and consult the 1907
Journal of the House and assure your
self whether or not / have told you.
the truth in regard to the manufactur-
| ing of farm machinery at Saltwater.
The main purpose of this article is
to give to the people of Stevens conn
ty the statements which / have made
which called forth Mr.. Spooner's
threatening letters. and to give them
a chance to find out whether / tell
the truth,
The voters should inform them
selves fully regarding Mr.. Spooner's
record and mine, and there are many
other things that / would like to
point out, but this article is already
too long.
But might add that / am not in
favor of prison labor on roads and
will vote against all such measures;
that | am heartily in favor of the re-
organization Of the state government
on lines of economy and efficiency, and
voted at the last session for the We
fald bill. which was a better bill than
the SAWYER bill, which Mr.. Spoone1
introduced at the request of the gov
ernor, also favor amendments tc
our road laws in some of the provi.
sions which experience has shown are
not wise.
| shall do all in my power to pro,
tect and promote the interests of the
rural portions of the state, and Ste
Vens county in particular. to the emf
that the institutions IN the large citieI
may not be built up in extravagsn
stvle at the expense of the countr!

RAG DOLLS" AND
THE CORN CROP

At first reading it sounds like a rather
foolish statement, but there are now a
number Of successful business men who
are exerting every possible effort to got
the children in the rural schools to make
rag dolls. These men compose the Crop
Improvement Committee Of the Council
Of Grain Exchanges, an organization OF all
the largest exchanges in the country. 1t
is a matter Of very practical interest to
these men, for they estimate that If their
"rag dell' propaganda can be carried to q
successful issue over half q billion dollars
will be added to the value Of the corn crop
every year.
THE rag dolls" in which these business
men are interested are not the kind that
children play with before they are old
enough to have any other sort. They are
instruments for testing the termination
powers Of corn, and they furnish a ready
means by which both children and their
elders may learn the value Of good seed,
and gain a knowledge Of how to secure it.
The rag doll" test is conducted in the
following manner A piece Of heavy sheet
ing five feet long and nine inches wide is
marked off into a dozen or more squares
about two and one-half inches wide, rum
ming through the coulter Of the cloth. The
squares are numbered, say, from one to
twelve. An equal number of ears of corn
are selected for the test and are numbered
TO correspond with the squares on the
cloth. The cloth is thoroughly moistened
and spread out in front of the ears. Six
kernels are taken from ear number one
and placed in square number one, germ
side up, and with the tips Of the kerpels
pointing in the same direction. In like
manner six kernels are taken from ear
number two and placed In square number
two, and so on until all the squares are
filled.
When this has been done, the cloth is
again moistened by sprinkling and then
carefully rolled up so that none Of the kerr
nels will be displaced. "A string Is then
tied around the center Of the roll just
tight enough to hold the kernels in place.
When one or more rag dolls have been
prepared in this manner, they are put into
a bucket or pail filled with warm water,
standing them on end with the tips, or
small ends Of the kernels, pointing down.
ward. Old newspapers are then wrapped
around the bucket or pail to retain the
heat. In from three to twelve hours the
newspapers are removed, the water is
poured off, and the bucket again covered
with newspapers. The bucket should be
kept in a room where it will not get too
cold at night, and should not be allowed to
freeze under any circumstances.
At the end Of about seven days the kerr
nels should be %sprouted, and it is then an
easy matter to tell which ears are good for
seed and which are not. 1t will be found
that some ears are wholly dead, while 9TH
ers are too weak to plant.
mo man can select good seed merely by
looking at it" recently declared Mr.. Ball,
Secretary of the Crop Improvement Com

will not grow, but he can never be sure
that the the seed which he picks out will
