John Wesley Davis, member elect
of the Florida legislature, has been
putting in some time lately gathering
agricultural statistics for st. Johns
county, and his findings concerning
the Irish potato industry for one Flor
ida county is marvellous. He shows
that last year there were 1850 acres
planted in Irish potatoes with a yield
of AIS, 694 barrels which sold approx
imately for S1,556,OOO. When it is
considered that this is a comparative
" new farming industry in this sec
ton, some idea may be had Of the
productiveness of Florida soil that 10
years ago was considered of little
value.

W. B. Dawson, a Jacksonville cap
italist who recently purchased some
1900 acres of land near Mayport and
has been fitting it up with the view
of establishing a stock farm, has just
secured some thoroughbred Berk-
shire hogs from Alabama after a
thorough search of the country. Mr..
Dawson is going to try to improve the
breed of hogs in Florida, and on his
success much depends. We have been
spending too much talk in this state
lately on our ideas for improving the
cost of living-bringing it down to a
point where we could afford to live.
Dawson is going to show our farmers
a practical way out, or spend some
money in trying. And he has the
money as well as the inclination. We
hope he will meet with success.

SAVINGS
NOW ON A BOOM.
Over S5O,OOO,OOO Now on

DepoSitorS.

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings IN TINS
country. From the very day hostlli-
ties opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-lntormeu
persons who, in their Imagination,
saw lines of feverish depositors at
post-office pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the
bootleg and body-belt repositories
whence they came before intrusted
to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute con-
fidence of the American citizen, re-
CARELESS of the flag that first met his
ewes, in the ability and purpose OF
! the government to carry out Its ooll-
cations, not only among the natlons
of the earth, but with the hum0lest
citizen of our land.
/ Two important results have follow.
ed: thousands of people, largely OF
foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now patrons
of our postaly-savings system; and
enormous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial uses
among our own people at time when
the need for every available dollar is

FLORIDA'S STRATEGIC

Florida is in the front yard of
the United States. 1t has the
longest salt water coast of any
of the states. 1t is nearest the
West Indies, South America and
through the Panama Canal it has
closest access to the Pacific
ocean. Ships can sail from Flor
ida ports to all continents and
islands of the earth. 1t is the
best favored of any state in the
Union in this respect, and that's
some. The outline map here

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
feetively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
moval have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the
test Of forty years. Insist on having
Hoods, for nothing else acts like it.
There is no real substitute. Get it
today. Sold by all druggists.

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.

PUBLIC DOCUMENIcs
Judge Emery, Of the board OF library
trustees, addressed the board. He spoke
first of action taken by the trustees in con-
tracing for the painting and repairs on
the library building, and asked the sane
tion by the aldermen of this work, which
could be done within the library appro-
priation. No objection was raised by the
board.
Judge Emery then spoke OF a plan pro-
posed for the better care Of public docu-
ments owned by the city and deposited
with the library, and to make them read
ily accessible to the public. He said the
accumulation of public documents, sent
to the library through the kindness OF
Senator Hale and others, had overrun the
library. and for some time had been
stored in the basement of the court
house. This was not suitable place,
either for proper protection OF the books
or for making them accessible to the pub
lie. 1t is proposed, il arrangements can
he made with the county commissioners,
IN have one OF the rooms on the third
f,oor of the courthouse fitted up for the
documents.
The plan suggested by the-board Of
trustees is embodied in the following vote,
which was passed by the board OF alder
men:

aocu ents, State and national, sent to the

IMPORT CHINESE EGGS

Shipments of Chinese eggs to the
markets of the Pacific northwest pre-
cipitated a highly profitable business
for a number of importing houses.
The business started last December
and has grown steadily in magnitude.
\. Seattle dispatch says receipts con
tinue heavy there and large shipments
are made regularly to Vancouver and
San Francisco.
1t seems that a wholesale liquor
dealer on the coast, with a represent.
tative in China, was first to grasp the
possibilities that were opened up in
this line by the new tariff law. 1t is
reported in San Francisco trade cir
cles that he quickly cleared up a
profit OF 100000 on shipments Of g.
600 cases. The eggs cost him at the
Chinese port only 70 cents a case:
the ocean freight was % cents, and
the cases cost about 80 cents, making
a total of $l.27 a case, or a trifle more
than 4 cents a dozen. He readily sold
these eggs last winter around "a cents
a dozen +. O. b. wharf. so his profit
"dS hNoilN ~ tSlllS Il uoLtU.
These eggs come chiefly from the
great valley OF the Iangtze river, and
a recent consular report says the
supply will be found practically un-
limited. Little new organization was
required in China to start the egg
movement to the United States, for
an extensive trade had previously
been built up in exporting the product
to other countries.
Yielding to protests from American
producers and firms engaged in the
business of handling the home pro-
duct. the United States department
of agriculture has ordered that here
after all cases of Chinese eggs shall
be branded product of China" Here,
tofore they have been labeled "Fresh
Pullets." as their smaller size gives
them the appearance of American
pullet eggs. AS the eggs are bought
in China by weight and sold in the
United States by the dozen. the bust.
ness has proved %enticingly profitable.
1t is not probable that this action
by the department of agriculture will
materially check a business that
seems to offer such inviting rewards.
Prejudice against use of a Chinese
product will probably prove to be
only ephemeral. Dur people take Chi.
nese teas. rice and other Asiatic food
products without a qualm. products
which must be handled directly by
Asiatic hands, whereas the Chinese
eggs are encased by nature in their
own shells and come to our market
with a far greater assurance of clean
