SOME THINGS DONE AT THE RE-
CENT U. =. C. CONVENTION

Practically all members of the ex-
ecutive board were reelected unani-
mously and without the formality of
a ballot. The board of officers elect
ed stands: Second vice president.
Mrs. w. n. Furgerson. Dade City;
third vice-president, Mrs. B. B. Simp-
son, Kissimmee; recording secretary,
Mrs. William Francis Gwynne, Fort
Myers; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
B. P. Jarvis, st. Augustine; treasurer,
Mrs. C. W. Maxwell, Jacksonville;
registrar, Miss Mary Johnson, st. Pc
tersburg; historian, Miss Byrd Wart-
man, Ocala; recorder of crosses, Mrs.
Henry Mickler, Brooksville; registrar,
Children of the Confederacy, Miss
Bessie T. Wilson, Pensacola.
The amendments to the constitu-
ton numbered twelve and were draft
ed along the lines of the amendments
made recently to the general conven-
tion at the New Orleans convention.
The most important were the one pro-
viding no change in the constitution
for the next five years and the in
Guiding of the nineteenth bylaw on
loyalty of members. A motion that
no elected officer shall henceforth be
qualified for reelection, offered by
Miss Dzialynski of Jacksonville, was
voted down.
The Daughters passed the most im-
portant resolution that has been be-
fore the body during the convention.
This resolution was the adoption or
a recommendation which is based on
decisions and statements from the
president-general of the organization
declares that members of the U. ID.
c.. who have not constitutional Gre
dentials of relationship (that is con-
nected by blood and not "cousinship
and in laws'') or who. have no record
on the register books, will be allowed
till the next state convention to sup
ply these. What action the next state
convention will take cannot be known,
but it was stated by Sister Esther
Carlotta, state president, that the
state registrar would notify each
chapter that has members who have
no record or constitutional creden-
tials of the deficiency. It will then be
the duty of each chapter thus noti-
fed to courteously ask such members
to file the records or credentials be-
fore the next state convention.
Sister Carlotta stated that this did
not include the question as to incom-
plete records, as whole, but was d.
rected against members who have no
record at all. In connection with this
the president stated on Thursday that
there were as many as perhaps forty
Florida members of the u. d. c. who
have no record at all and who have
only a name entered on the books.
1t is understood that with the re-
cent adoption of state registry book
proving for entry of details of rec
ords, including voucher names, that

arAuTIFUL FLORIDA THE LAND
OF ENcHANTMENT

Fresh. virile blood has been lnfus-
sd into every artery and vein of the
neuinsular. It has flowed in from

millions to invest, even when Crack
er opposition to progress was po-

more millions to invest as the progress

Florida has led the procession OF
all the southern states on the score
Of phenomenal growth, and the book
value of her climate is the primal
cause. OF course the climate is not
responsible for her rich deposits of
phosphate rock nor her immensely
valuable fisheries, but when you add
her climate to her 1928 miles of palm
iringed coast line, her splendid har-
bofs and bays and her shortcut trade
routes to the Panama canal you have
pretty sure footing for. your optl-
mlsm.
There was a time when it was
rather the custom to refer sneeringly
to Florida as that swamp sand-p1t
winter resort that puts out into the
Gulf of Mexico" There was st. Au-
gustine, the oldest city in America,
and the rather romantic ST. Johns
river, where you could fish for salmon
or shoot aligators if you happened to
be sportsman. Tampa was one
man town, built as an experiment,
and Key West had possibilities if it
ever got a railroad; you could grow
oranges, lemons, pineapples, sapodil-
las citron, bananas of sort, avocado
pears, plums, peaches, grapes, kum-
quats, loquats, mangoes, rice, sugar
cane, cotton, arrowroot, tobacco, in
olgo, sisal hemp, New Zealand flax,
corn, oats and a variety of other
lhlngs, only there was no way TO
transport them out and to market

considerable scale. There were yell
low fever, the hookworm and the alli-
gator to contend with, not to mention

regarded any sort of a stranger with

Recipe for Curing Meat.

The following recipe has been
used by the publishers family fol-
many years, and is one of the sur
est methods of saving and curing
meat:
Take a molasses barrel and make
up a brine that will float an egg.
Add a gallon of molasses and lit
tie saltpetre. After the meat has
the animal heat out Of it place the
hams and shoulders hook down in
the barrel of brine. Place the
middlings on top of the joints and
above all place weight that will
keep the meat securely under the
brine. Leave the meat undis-
turbed for six weeks and selecting
some clear, dry day take it out,
wipe it off thoroughly, dry and
sprinkle and rub thoroughly with
borax. Hang and smoke.
The flavor is equal to the best
sugar cured meat put up by the
packers. This method is almost
sure to save meat in the warmest
weather if the animal heat is out
of it when packed in brine. -Tu-

5. A. Cunningham Dead.

Sumner Archibald Cunningham,
whose sad vocation it has been for
twenty years or more to make pub
lie record of the passing of the
brave old Confedtrates who reached
the vital turn, is now in his turn
Registered in the vast army of du-
tiful men who have disappeared
from mortal gaze through the SOM
bre portal of the grave. Mr.. Gun
ningham, who was never in high
rank but who performed his part
bravely for four long and bloody
years of war, followed journalism
as profession, and, when the
war closed, had varied experiences
until he founded in 1893, the Con-
federate Veteran at Nashville, in
his home state, Tennessee. This
monthly publication soon was rec
ognized as the official voice of the
old warriors of the South, and also
as the means of interchange of
thoughts and data concerning the
great conflict. The Veteran was
ably edited and gave forth mass
of information of value, not OBJ
tainable elsewhere. To It's sub
scribers it appeared as an appre-
ciative friend, for it bore on every
page the reflection of the good
heart of the good soldier and gen.
tleman who edited it.
Wholly modest and unostenta-
tious, Mr.. Cunningham went about
the performance of his selected
task. His was a good service,
akin to pious service; and it was
well performed. PROFESSIONALLY
he will have his reward in Heaven,
as well as enduring praise on
earth. Mobile Register.

Wider Distribution Of Statistics.

The arrangements made by Hon. VIM.
]. Harris, Director of the Census, for
the wider distribution of statistics col
lected by his Office concerning the guam
tity of cotton ginned. the quantity of
cotton consumed monthly, and the
stocks of cotton on hand at the end of
each month. has met with general APP
prevail throughout the cotton-growing
states.
He has received numerous sugges-
tions concerning still wider distribu-
tion Of these statistics, and he has
made arrangements with the Postmaster
General to allow the postmasters in ev-
cry post office in counties where cotton
is grown to post in conspicuous place
copies of the reports containing statis-
tics of cotton. These copies will be
printed on extra large cards, 80 the
figures can be easily read. Mr.. Harris
hopes that in this manner he will be
able to give the farmers, and all others,
access to the valuable statistics collect
ed by this Bureau. Heretofore the re-
ports have been given by the Bureau
of the Census to newspaper representa-
tives and to the. different telegraph
companies for distribution. Following
this distribution, copies of the reports
have been mailed TO the ginners, manu-
facturers and warehouse men, but there
has been no practical method devised
for the distribution of the information
directly to the farmers. 1t is Mr.. Har-
ris' purpose to give the statistics to
the farmers, so they can take advan-
tage of the information collected by
the Federal Government.

 Be Held In Gem City To- morrow Afternoon. Big Attendance Desired.

The Arizona Purebred Live Stock as sOciatiOn has called the second annual meeting to be held in the city hall at Mesa City tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.

 in Arizona:
 ''The second annual meeting of the Arizona Purebred Live Stock associa- ton will be held at the city hall. Mesa, Friday, February 20, 1914, at p. m. Many important matters will be con- sidered at this meeting which are of the greatest moment to the breeders and developer of purebred animals in this state. You as breeders are shape
 ing the future of the wealth and pros
 perity of the state in it's great live stock industry. All great endeavOrs of the tillers of the soil in it's manifold branches are best fostered by cO-Ope- ration and organized effort The pure
 bred live stock associations in many of the states have long been recognized as powerful factors in the forward movement in all that pertains to het- ter live stock, it's proper distribution, more equitable freight rates, better sys- tems of feeding, greater records of milk and butter, more eggs per hen, more pounds of pork for the feed consumed better types of horses for general work on the farm, and more profitable flocks. At this meeting we will adopt a constitution and by laws, elect off cers, arrange for a banquet and get to- Sether meeting at some time during the annual fair in November, 1914 Also the matter of handling live stock exhibits at the Phoenix yards to and ! from the fair should be considered and i a committee appointed to wait upon i the traffic managers of the different roads to secure if possible more satis- l factory treatment. The matter of an adequate and proper exhibit of our live
 stock at the great San Francisco Fair should be discussed and probably a i bill initiated appropriating a reason
 able sum of money for live stock, min Ling, and general agriculture for that .expostion from Arizona. Do not for get this meeting. Come and meet with
 us. In union there is strength"
