it is hoped that arrangements can be
made to bring the band over on one Of
these.
The patronization Of home industry
will certainly be the rule in the en-
gagement of bands, which have been
secured from several sections of Flor
ida. Among those already engaged
are the following: Alabama Polytech-
mic Institute band, Auburn, Ala;
Tampa Municipal band, Gourlie's
band, Sears band, two bands from
Lakeland, Bradentown band, Palmetto
band, Tarpon Springs band, Wauchula

Arab patrol of Morocco Temple,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, jackson

Gasparilla Fife and Drum Corps.
American and Cuban warships have
been assigned to Tampa for the fes-
tive period, and the celebration gives
promise of proving more brilliant in
every wav than those of former years.
Among the most pleasing features
to guests from winter-bound states
will be the masked balls in the Span

FRENCH AND BRITISH LOSE FIGHTS At MANY PLACES ON
THE WESTERN FRONT 8

Berlin, Feb. 4.-The Germans cap
tured the main French position north
and northwest of Massiges, in the
Champagne district. Three trenches
were taken along the front of over a
miles, and held despite the furious
counter attacks of the enemy.
The general staff denies the Russian
claims of successes in the Carpath-
ians, asserting that the Austro-Ger-
mans made several gains. In East
Prussia, the feeble Russian attacks
against the German positions south
of the Memel river were repulsed.
South of Sochazew the repated
night attacks of the Russians were
broken down as the result of heavy
losses. The Germans are advancing
in the BoIomow region despite the vio-
lent Russian counter attacks.

The Germans are massing artillery
and men for a most terrific assault
upon the Anglo French near the Bel
gian frontier. The kaiser desires a
victory over the British rather than
the French, for political reasons.

South Needs Better
 Hogs Than This

January 1, 1915 there were 30 states in which the average value of hogs per head was over $10. The highest value, head, $15.70, was in Maine, and the lowest, $6, in Florida.
 The average value of hogs per head for the United States was $9.87, and not in a single one of the Southern states did the hogs have the average val ue of the whole country. The loss from this lowervalue, which is a result of lower quality, is enormous For instance, 1,540,- 900 hogs in Mississippi, at a value of $7.20 per head, had a total value of S11,088,0 ,000. If the hogs of Mississippi had been of average quality for the Unit ed States and had been of an average value, they would have had a total value of S15, ,199,- 800, or a gain of $4,111,800 The Progressive Farmer.

Make Living First

thing that grows on the farm from some other country. And southern merchants and Isouthern cities will have no as Isured prosperity if this is the order of living in the south. No matter if cotton were to bring l. 50 cents a pound, the scale of expense would be raised to about AS cents and maybe 51 cents.
 We cannot eat cotton, and if cotton goes to a low figure we are in a bad way. That is what happened to us last fall.
 The only safe rule isto make a living at home"
 Assure yourself of a living, then go out after profit.
 You can make a living at home if you will grow enough stuff on the farm for yourself and live stock.And then after a while you can slowly branchin- to the live stock business.
 Make your living on your farm. Don't hire a man in Iowa or Illinois to make it for you on his farm, You may not be able to pay him when the season is over.
 If you make your own living on your own farm you don't have to pay anybody. Your farm will be your debtor instead of your creditor, and your farm properly managed IS the pest paying debtor.
 If we stick to cotton as sim gle crop during the next 9 years, eventhe delta land would become depleted in fertility so that land which now produces a bale to the acre would not produce half bale. If we keep the soil rich we have got to change our method. If you inn prove the soil of the high coun- try, you have gotto change these methods at once. A single crop that exhausts the soil, as does cotton or wheat, no matter what it fetches, will finally bankrupt any country that persists in it. Commercial Appeal.

Around the Evening Lamp

light hours will be used, forthe most part. for earning a living and meeting the exacting du- ties of farm life. The schools, as useful as they are in giving in formation to children, would fall very far short of their op- portunity without home study. In fact, it is the reading and thinking done out ofschoolthat counts in an education after all.
 Fortunate is every child that likes to read and cultivatesreg- ular habits of reading. Such children have themselves solv- ed the problem of education. Regardless of the country schools and the time such child ren have for attending school, they will train the mind and gather information that will make them useful and efficient in life.
 Parents who wish to give their children educational op- portunities should install the evening lamp, encourage their children to read and study and set the example themselves in regular hours for reading. This is where one can help himself in helping others.

The cheerful gathering of the family around the eveninglam in our farm homes is great factor for family ties and deep sentiment among youngpeople.
 After the labors of the day are over, the evening meal eat en, the gathering in the circle means rest, conversation and reading, which entertain and instruct the young people and knit the fibers of the family ties in solidarity. In after years when the children, now happy and contented, have homes of their own, the evening lamp will be installed and thus the influence of this sentiment lives and enlarges as the yearsswift- ly pass.
 Reading in the home is re- sponsible for ambition thatstirs many boys and girls for educa- .tion and useful service in society. The farm papers, the home paper, current literature, magazines, books with usefulin- formation must be read, if at all, around the circle of the country home during the early evening hours.
