THE RAVAGEs OF WAR IN THE SUGAR
BEET FIELDS.

That the sugar beet fields in France are raw
aged by war is indicated in Associated Press
dispatches from the front, telling of the fight
ing across what was formerly rich agricultural
country.
The sugar-beet fields retaken by the French
have not only been ravaged by shells, lacerated
by trench diggers and furrowed by the wheels
of gun carriages, bat have been so trampled by
infantry and cavalry that the extraction of the
roots became difficult problem, not yet en-
tirely solved. It is the modest heroine of the
war, the French peasant woman, who is work
ing on it in the unoccupied regions close to the
battlefront where she can not only hear it but
see the smoke of it.
In all this region the plough followed closely
upon the conflict and seeding necessarily fol
lowed so hard upon the plough that some APP
prehension was felt as to the summary prepare
ton of the soil; there was no time for harrow
ing, but the seed caught and the new crop
showed its head even while the pointed helmets
across the line were taking in the last of the
belated harvest.
Statisticians say the seeding is little inferior
in acreage to that of 1913

Tallahassee, Fla, June 5-Flor-
ida saw the passing of another ses-
sion of the general assembly yester-
day and now looks back on the work
done during the sixty days of ac-
tivitN to ascertain what benefits, IL
any, may come to it's people as re-
suit of this session.
The Legislature of 1915 has been
conservative and economical. 1t has
erected for itself a record of plac-
ing on the statute books the most
advanced insurance legislation ever
attempted in this state and has CIV
en- due consideration to the educa-
tional institutions of the common
wealth. Outside of local measures
but few campaign pledges have been
fulfilled in measures considered at
this session.
Only one big issue, which can be
classed with popular legislation was
killed at this session. This was the
Turnbull- l-Blitch state wide prohibit
tion amendment, while on the other
hand the Davis package bill has
practically eliminated the sale OF
liquor in counties that already per-
init it's sale under regulation.
The question of reapportionment,
which has been clamored for
throughout the state for several
years, especially by South Florida
counties, has reached a stage of leg
islation at this session that indicates
such changing in the representation
, in the General Assembly will take
place in 1917. Senator Fred String
er. of Brooksville, and Representa-
tive Woods, of Pinellas county. are
due the credit for this piece of ad
vanced legislation going through
this session. Under this plan of re
apportionment this state will. bt

granting that the people of parts o

will be SO senators and approximate

many turns of the political game.
1t was believed that every labor
measure had job behind 1t, and
until the latter part Of the session
did any good labor measure have the
proper consideration, and 1t was
then too late to get 1t through both
houses. Several members made an
effort, for some reason or other, to
pass labor measures, but they failed
to get along fast enough to become
laws.
Persons wishing the passage Of
resolution providing for an amend
ment to the constitution permitting
women to vote, early in the session,
became aware that such a measure
was an impossibility at this session.
The absence of suffrage lobbyists
was noticeable this session in COM
parison with that of 1918. Every
attempt to provide any kind Of wom-
an suffrage was voted down at this
session.
The most important change made
in the suffrage rights of the people
of Florida, was the passing of reso-
luton providing for the adoption Of
constitutional amendment to enact
the "grandathers clause eliminat-
ing practically every negro vote in
the state. 1t is certain that. this
amendment will be adopted at the
next general election A property
clause, and ability to read, write and
interpret any section of the consti-
tuition is made a part of the neces-
sary qualifications Of a voter under
this resolution. The resolution
Ipassed the house early in the ses-
sion, but did not get through the
senate until the latter days Of the
session.
The road problem is believed to
have been settled during the last
ten days of this session, by the
passage in the house of Hines road
department bill. creating a state
road department, that shall exer-
else directory powers in cooperating g
with the boards of county commits

vided profits or surplus, that the di-
rectors voting for such dividend,
shall be jointly and severally liable.
We hope by the laws that we have
enacted to prevent such conditions
existing in domestic insurance COM
paies as are ow existing in this
State. Under these acts the insur-
ance commissioner will have the
power to require every insurance
company to make a statement show :
ing in detail the investments of the
company, and also the expenditure
of every item and for what every
penny was expended.
Another act that has been passed
that will be of benefit to the people
of the State, is the bill which al
lows the organization of mutual iu-
surance companies, which, prior to
this time could not be organized in
the State. This bill throws all safe
guards around the organization OF
such mutual companies, and the citl-
zens of this State who desire to or
ganize a mutual insurance company
can do so, and carry their own in :
surace. This act should have been
passed years ago, but it appears that
it was never pushed before this time
The Legislature has also taken
care of what is known as reciprocal
mutual insurance companies. Here
tofore, these companies have been
engaged in business in the State
without any authority of law, and a
great many of our people, such al
wholesale dry goods people, hard
ware people, sawmill people have
| been carrying their insurance in
such companies. Under the law en-
acted by the Legislature, these com
paies can do business in the State
legally, and are protected.
Another bill which has been en-
acted into a law is the fraternal in
snrance bill. This bill will not in
terfere with the best line OF frater
nal organizations we now have do
ing business in the State, but is
great safeguard. 1t will preven
fraudulent fraternal insurance so
cieties from coming into the State o
from being organized in the State.
Another bill which has become
law, allows the State treasurer
make application to the court re
auiring any insurance company or
ganized in the State of Florida I
make showing as to whether or no
its stock has become impaired, or I
know whether or not it is solvent
and If the court finds that it's stoc
is Impaired, it can be given time I
repair its stock, or If it IS insolven'
the court can by order place it |
the hands of the insurance commits
sioner to administer the assets of tn
company. This law will preven
, the dissipation of the assets of an

LITTLE DAM AGE is
THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN DONE; GERMANS
MAY SOON BEGIN OF
FENSIVE IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM
(By Associated Press.)

London, June German air
ships again crossed the North Sea
last night and dropped bombs on the
east and southeast coasts of Eng
land. While the censor permitted no
details to be made public the avail
able reports say little damage was
done, apparently the casualties not
being numerous. Five more British
vessels have been sunk by German
submarines. No loss of life resulted.
Preparations for a new German
ported under way. 1t is believed
here that following the fall Of Pre-
mysl the Germans may undertake a
serious offensive in France and Bel
gium. Along the portion Of the
line north of Arras German rein
forcements have been brought up
and the allies have been driven from
some of the positions recently
gained.
In the east on the Galacian front
heavy fighting continues all along
the front. From Vienna reports
would appear that the Austro-Ger-
man armies are still sweeping back
, the Russians. Petrograd, however,
claims success in several engage
tents. Apparently Russians have
been able to maintain the front east
of Przeymsl.

BIG CELEBRATION TO BE HELD
AT BRADENTOWN IN JULY

Manatee, June 5-That Braden-
town expects to do herself proud on
the occasion of the big celebration
on the birthday of this great nation
is evident from the statement that
her committee having, the matter in
hand has made a purchase of 5000
fish for great seashore dinner on
the Fourth of July. Arrangements
will be made to feed 10000 people.
Spanish cooks are to be secured from
Cortez to prepare the seashore din
ner of sea food. Contracts have
been made for 5000 fish and it is
figured that this will amount to
about $1,000 pounds.
Among the attractions for the day
will be spectacular regatta and
motor boats from Tampa, st. Peters
burg Terra Celia and perhaps other
places will participate in this part
of the days fun.
It is expected that there will be a
balloon ascension, aeroplane flight,
automobile parade, climbing the
, greasy pole, catching the greasy pig
and many other funny stunts
This demonstration by Mauatee's
capital city is in return or rather
grows out of the big celebration
given by Arcadia on the opening oi
f, the new railroad binding the two
! cities together, but Bradentown Sc
lected the Fourth Of July as the
time for holding her celebration 81
she would have a good excuse fol
extending an invitation to all the
! earth.
| The Glorious Fourth falling OF
Sunday this year, the celebration
will take place on Tuesday follow
ing, which will be the sixth of thu
month.
The people of Arcadia are undo
promise to come, and they will b
on hand by the hundreds, for man,
of the citizens of that city hav
never visited the Land OF Manatee
The people living along the line o
the East and West Coast railroa
will all want to come for they ar
always glad to ride over the ney
road and they like to meet thei
cousins in the city. Then that ifs
dinner will bring them by the thous
