oughly familiar with every phase of agri- cultural work, and their experience as teachers has enabled them to select the subject matter that is of most value and to present it in the most telling way.
 The interests of these authors are nat urally with the south, and in this book special attention is directed to the study of agriculture in the southern states.
 An especially important and timely fea- ture of the book and one that we believe to be unique in books on agriculture, is the recognition given the work of the farmers wives and daughters. The au- thors realize the importance of teaching girls, as well as boys. to make the most of their lives on the farm, and have. therefore, included chapters on the farm home, home and school grounds, the preparation and use of foodsfl sowing in a one-room country school, and cooking in the one-room country school.
 The authors of "FundamentaH of Farm ing and Farm Life" believe that a course in elementary agriculture should be some- thing more tahn a mere treatise on rais- ing plants and animals for sale, that it should aim rather to prepare young peo- pie for living intelligently and happily, as well as profitably on the farm. They realize that young boys and girls have a healthy interest in growing plants and animals and only need to have this in- terest properly stimulated.
 The fundamental principles of plant and animal growth and reproduction and of soil management are first taught. Then the sultitudinous details of practice in

 Among other things Ten Pertinent Suggestions are given as follows:
 1. Fill the gasoline tank with gasoline.
 ?. Fill the lubricating oil reservoir with luhrieating oil.
 g. Fill the radiator with clean water.
 4 Adjust the spark lever to the late position for safe cranlxing of the motor.
 D. Open the throttle a few notches in order to deliver rich mixture for start ing the motor.
 6. Observe that the change-gea lever Is the neutral position.

 9. Engage starting crank by pushing 1t in direction of motor.

Can any deeds of heroism upon the
battle fields be greater than those
performed by the Confederate soldier
when he returned to his ruined HON
and desoated fields to commence life
anew with nothing left save honor
and a glorious name. Behind him
lay brilliant record of four years
of warfare, a record which he had
written with the pen point of the
bayonet. AS General Lee said in his
last order to his soldiers, they could
return to their homes with a con-
seriousness of duty well and faithful

Yet what a prospect was that
which the Southern soldier faced.

There will probably be strong
temptation for some of the candi-
dates to violate the law regulating
campaign expenditure. Not that
they are corrupt men or want to
corrupt others, but because since the
founding of the government those
seeking office have had free hand
in such matters and it seems like
trcnching on the constitutional per-
sonal liberty of the citizen to tell
MIN that he shan't use his money as
he pleases, short Of bribery, when he
is candidate for office. But We i've

there would be no such thing as pur-

freedom of other years prevailed. Tie
new law on tie sdbject i'll Florida is
a necessary safeguard, but it will be
of no value unless it is enforced and
the motive to enforce it cant be
made too strong. Renee we are glad
