With any kind of hustle and sue
cess, any one of the purchasers can
pay for his lot in two or three years,
besides making living for his fam

advertisement OF an irresponsible
land company, but is based on actual
results achieved on this same tract.
There is no wait and no heavy ex-
pense of clearing the land, removing
stones, stumps and roots. fencing,
ETC., but the man who invests in the
Sugar Hammock tract. is ready to
put his plows into the rich mellow
loam and turn his soil for his first
crop, ani he will only need to visit

farming break the soil and put in
something to grow.

IDEAL, and there are no transporta-

station is N half mile of part of the
land AMI the most remote section of
the tract is not over mile AMI half
from the station. The purchasers
will have the city of Ocala with all of
its advantages, only 10 miles away,
by either rail or an excellent hard

be delivered to the refrigerator cars

after they leave the fields or the
packing sheds of the growers, and,

WILSON LISTENED
TO THE WOMEN
President Deeply Impressed by Their
Appeal for Votes, but Could
Make Them no Promise

Washington, Feb. 3.-Women
workers who toll daily in the mills
ard the mines and in the sweat shops
and the factories of the nation plead
ed yesterday with President Wilson
for his assistance in the cause for
woman suffrage. The president re-
gretfully told them, as he did dele
cation last December, that he could
not urge anything on Congress which
had not received the organic consid-
Grafton of the democratic party.
Mondays demonstration the
brass band, the street procession, the
colored pennants and battle flags Of
the cause, but the tales OF hardship,
the struggle to live on low wages, of
the sanitariums for those who sick
ened at their work and the heart
breaking tragedies of poverty-af-
fected the president deeply.
President Depressed
As the delegation left the executive
offices, discouraged and disappointed
| because they obtained no positive
aid, they did not know that the pres
ident himself was depressed, per-
haps even more than they, as he
went to luncheon with his family. He
told friend afterward he wished he
could help, but saw no way to do it.
There is every reason to believe,
| however, that the day gave added
stimulus to the presidents desire for
early legislation to social justice and
industrial reform mentioned in his
first annual message

young-most of them plainly dressed
but earnest and determined, went tG

MEX|CANS MAY
OBTAIN MUNITIONS
President Has Decided that Policy of
Embargo is Not Neutrality but
Partially

Washington. D. c., Feb. 4.-Pres-
ident Wilson has decided TO lift the
embargo on expectation of arms to
Mexico.
President Taft issued the procla-
nation which barred expectation Of
arms to all sides on March 4, 1912.
He did that under authority OF a
congressional resolution empower
ing the president TO take such action
whenever he should find that I'm
any American country conditions of
domestic violence exist whether pro-
NOTED by the use of arms and muni-
tions of war, procured from the
United States
President Wilson will continue to
exercise discretionary power in is
suing permits for the exporting of
arms so they may not fall into ire
sponsible hands As far as possible
only military chiefs on both sides in
Mexico will obtain the munitions.
Exactly how that will be done has
not been worked out. The presi-
dents decision was reached after
many months of careful study, and
while in the first instance the belief
of the administration was that the
denial of arms was humane act,
the conviction has grown upon the
Washington government that its
policy has operated unequally to-
ward the warning factions.
Partially instead Of neutrality
was the result of the policy, in the
opinion of the president and the
members of his cabinet, who finally
determined that the real neutral
course would be- to put both fac
tions on an even footing.
The administration also believes
that to permit the situation to drift
along would be merely contributing
to an incessant struggle.
Although constitutionalist chief:
have declared they have secured
enough ammunition from the feder

ally through the country will be de

Laura Jean Libbey's Daily Talks
on Heart Topics

IA recreant spouse should not give her
self over to worry, but hopefully strive
| to save out of the wreck all that's left
cf love. Instead Of making a hard task
of it. she should make 1t labor of love.
Some husbands need coddling more than
curtain lectures. A smile will find the
way to the heart where a frown will
fortify the anger against reienting.
A wife Is not justified in taking out
side advice as to leaving her husband be-
cause he has little or no love for her left
In his heart. She should think the mat
ter out carefully. plan how she can re-
yive the roots of affection so nearly with
cred. 1t can be revived IL a wife per-
severes in that womanly duty. Out of
hundred cases where husband and wife
drift apart, IL will be found in more
than half of them that the wife en-
trenched herself behind a wall Of pride
and would not gather up what was left
the fragments of affection and piece
them.

At this time of year the use of canned
goods is a necessity if the family is to
cnoy anything like variety. but the
housewife who knows no other use for
canned vegetables than. that of turning
the contents of a can into a saucepan
&c reheat is sadly neglectinS her oppor-
tunities.
Take canned corn, for instance; the
customary addition of pepper. salt and
perhaps a little butter. is only one of
the many things which can be done with
l.. Delicious fritters can be made with
btt little extra expense and trouble, and
q wholesome corn pudding is always
relished Then too. the addition of lima
bcans-either dried ones which have been
soaked and boiled or the canned variety
provides n succotash.
II might possibly seem that there was
nothing to do ith canned peas besides
rinsinE and reheating them, but the we'll
liked German combination of carrots and
rCas can be obtained by scraping and
boiling fresh carrots, then slicing or cut
ting them into dice. and adding canned
peas. The dish can be seasoned simply
with butter. pepper and salt, or a white
sauce can be add =. Served on triangles
of toast, Earnisked with parsley, this Is
attractive as well as nutritious, and no
matter what Dr. Wiley and other food
authorities may say about our deplorable
American tendency TO cat with the
eyes" we all know that food attractively
arranged and served means more to the
average diner than perhaps a more
wholesome dish which makes no appeal
TO the senses.
Canned peas and asparagus are usually
regarded by epicures as superior to the
fresh vegetables and this is not so sur
prising when one stops to consider that
both are graded with the utmost care and
canned in a much fresher condition than
that in which they Usually reach market.

A LAMP SHADE REVIVAL.

Those tall piano lamps are coming
again. for which many pianists will be
thankful At her own home a girl may
sec that her piano is placed so that q
good light strikes the music, but when
she is asked TO play while visiting. like
as not the piano will be in the farthest
end of the room. as though bashful and
trying to hide from the company. This
means eye strain for many. Unless a
housewife plays or has a daughter who
plays. she is apt to place the piano
where II will look the best instead of
where the player can see the best. II the
light is at the back of the player. 1t mat
ters not to the housewife. IL. however,
there is piano lamp. that old time bless
ing is moved about with the piano. into
half oblivion or into prominence: one is
always sure of a light on the subject. So
up from the basement they are coming
this season, where they have been
sWathed in tissue paper for several
years And now the question is a new
shade. for certainly. and fortunately, the
nld silk must have split or rotted away.
Do you remember the horrid things with
much ruffiing and not little pinking?
The best way Is to buy a readymade
shade Of good silk and rather plain in
fashion. Take |. to a -aliable art needle
work shop and have them stamp each
panel Of the shade with a floral design. II
tie shade is pale green. a spray of morn
ing-glories or apple blossoms would be
very attractive. The frame of the shade
will act very much like a pair of hoops
or an embroidery frame. in that It will
hold the silk to be embroidered firmly.
and so make the work easy for the en-
broiGerer. Not very T. Ich of the under
side OF the shade will ever come to
view. but one should be very careful
in the finishing of this wrong side, SO
that when il does show itself It will not
be Objectionably untidy.
