GERMAN WOMEN GIVING Their
SERVICES TO THEIR COUNTRY
(By Associated Press.l


Hanover, Feb. 12.-Over mil
lion women are engaged throughout
Germany in work for the soldiers at
the front. Members Of over two
thousand women's societies give
their services voluntarily to the va
rious branches of assistance both
for those fighting in the trenches
and for those who have returned
disabled by wounds or disease. Not
only are they doing splendid work
in nursing in the field and in the
hospitals, but they are looking after
those who are convalescing In pri-
vate houses and public institutions
or recuperating in order to be able
to return to the firing line.
In the numerous recreation halls
where the wounded soldiers gather
the women also do their best to pro
vide entertainment. In other re-
spects also they are kept busy-for
instance, in organizing popular
kitchens where food is provided
cheaply for the INDECENT dependents
Of the soldiers. They also knit and
make warm garments for the troops,
while many of them devote them
selves to the care of the children OF
poor women obliged to go to work to
keep their homes together during
their husbands absence.

the commission form or government,
but it is coming more and more into
popularity as it's operations are
studied. 1t is not perfect and is
open to criticism in some respects.
but it's defects can be remedied and
it is a decided improvement over the
old system which made the com
munity the victim Of petty ward
politics and politicians, opened
doors to grating closed under the
commission system and made alder
manic ward government in many
cities a source of constant corrup
ton and scandal. The commission
form of government has come to
stay because it is long step in the
direction of simplified methods, hon
esty and efficiency.

reason Of lack Of seats, for the crowd

this world-famous woman. She
made an especial point of the fact
that this country would never be a
republic as long as the right of bal :
lot wasdenied half Of its citizens and
that such a condition could only be
called an aristocracy of sex and a
far cry from republication. She
was also emphatic in her opinion
that there would be no more wars IL
women were given the ballot, as
they were always the greatest suf-
ferers by war.

We all know that California is

even existed: and that is all right,
too, for it is not the business of Cal

il is the business Of that rival to
advertise herself and to get every
pointer from her enemy, on the sub
ject that she can. Out in California
they realize the value Of perfect
CO operation and they do everything
through the Fruit Growers Ex-

pushing the sale Of its Sunkist or
ange through such reading matter in
scores of leading newspapers as the
following:

ANOTHER WAY TO HELP
THE GRAPEFRUIT MARKET

Here is a good practical suggestion
from Miami as to how the sale Of
grapefruit can be increased in Flor.
ida. It takes the problem right
home to our hotel and restaurant
people and shows how they can help
IN its solution. The Miami Metrop :
oils says:
"Sell four times as much at half
the price," is the advice being given
the restaurant keepers of Miami to-
day by the Dade County Fruit Grow :
ers and Truckers Association with
regard to the grapefruit, which in
most eating places has been sold this
year at from 10 III 20 idents per
half fruit. The same fruit can be
secured at any store for fifteen cents
per dozen, the growers point out.
eff three or four times as much
fruit can be sold at half the price,
then, the growers say, the restaur-
ant and hotel men will make Just as
much more, while the growers will
be able to sell to them double or
triple the amount they are now dis =
posing of in this way. This, II is
claimed, will mean much to Dade
county growers this year when the
northern markets are bad.
rMnny restaurant and hotel keep :
ers have already agreed to join in
the movement to help out the grow =
ers, and incidentally to enthuse Wis
itors with the Incompatible quality
OF the fruit raised in this section.
The result Of this will be, 1t is point
ed out, that when they return north
they will purchase more grapefruit
than before,( and insist on Dade
county fruit whenever they can Sc =
cure 1t, thus widening the market
for grapefruit in general and Dade
county fruit in particular.
