Natural law point to a laW-giyer and

that agent Is. God.

Historical Advantages
Historical events do not succeed
another in a haphazard way, The
faithful student OF history cannot
help but see something proyidentiai
in Socrates. Though d heather phil
osopher, he taught the pnrest system
of morals which the world had yet
known, and which has been surpassed
only by the precepts of the Great
Teacher. He taught the Immortality
or the soul and OF a supreme Ruler
OF the universe.
Moses had his place in Israel and
was called sby the supreme God to
lead that marvellous people. These
men with many others are potent
factors in this nineteenth century. We
stand upon the shoulders Of the ac.
tivity OF thousands of years. We SEE
the same guiding Providence in oul
Enation.
Perhaps there is no another nation
where the guiding hand of God is Sc

SOME FLORIDA FIGURES

Figures have been given of the
enormous crops which the country
has just harvested or is about to
harvest, and they are encouraging
to those who are looking for good
times.
Some of the figures of Florida s
staples are also encouraging, and
should generally be known.
Florida will, this year produce
eleven million, six hundred thousand
bushels of corn. She will harvest
one million, one hundred thous-
and bushels of oats; one million
bushels of white potatoes and two
million, four hundred and ninety
bushels of sweet potatoes.
There will be fifty-six thousand
tons of hay produced in the state
during the year. and three million,
four hundred and seventy thousand
pound of tobacco.
All. this, besides cotton. hogs.
beans. oranges and grapefruit. which
are the saple of the state-Miami

If the border Texan of today had
the same attitude toward the ma
rauding MeXicans hat the Texan of
forty years ago had, he would soon
settle the problem that is now wor
rying General Funston along the
crooked line of the Rio Grande and
he would ask no help from Uncle
Sam in doing it. But that type of
Texan has pretty nearly disappeared
and he doesn't hirst for greaser gore
now as he did hen. Those Mexican
idiots, with no more educated think
ing brains than the mustangs they
ride across the river to rob and pot
the Texans, are getting to be a Sc
rious menace, and as their natural
disposition for guerrilla warfare,
with its frequent chances to rob,
steal and murder,i constantly slim
ulated by their fierce, unreasoning
hate of all "Americanos," will be
the work of years to cure them of
the habit, just as it was after the
Mexican war of 1876. There are
many good MeXicans, and those peo-
pie, no more than ours, are to be
Judged by their worst types, but the
latter alone seem to be in evidence
now.

Her title is. Extended Field Instruc-

CONDITION OF CITRUS
FRUITS IN FLORIDA

The last issue of the New York
Packer prints the following:
| Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. las
the beginning of the citrus fruit
season of 1915-16draws near, grow
ers and shippers and all persons con-
nected with the deal are making ac-
tive preparation in anticipation of a
successful year. Oranges are color
ing rapidly, and grapefruit is fast
assuming marketable appearance.
1t is variously estimated that the
fruit is from ten days to two weeks
later than last season. The orange
crop is a good fair crop, and prob
ably will run 10 per cent less than
last year, while the grapefruit crop
is variously estimated at 25 to 40
per cent short as compared to
1914-15.
The grapefruit crop on the East
Coast is estimated at 225,OOO to
100000 boxes. This is about SO per
cent as compared to last year. The
orange crop probably will compare
favorably with last years yield but
may come under last years ship
ments.
There is an unusual activity in
the building of packing houses and
installing machinery in every sec
tion of the state where citrus fruit
Is grown. Many new houses of large
capacity have been built, as we'll as
additions to old old houses, and new
machinery installed.

A BROTHER TO MAN
tBy r. E.. Lufsey,

: 10, ~
. . . . Q . . Q q . e o q 9
Dear Master, at the last great court
day, when | sit in the prisoners
pen,
And you call full many witness to
tell of my deeds among men
If you call the widows and orphans,
and the beggar from off the street;
If you call my rival in business, and
the stranger I've CHANGED to meet;
If you call my next-door neighbor,
who has known me year by year.
And you bid them testify to all
they've known about me here
May they tell the truth without
fiinching, then add these words, if
they can:
Whatever on earth was his failings,
he e'er was a brother to man."
When they tell all my innermost Sc
crets, If they say was close in
trade,
May they add that never have rued
back whenever the trade was
made.
If they say my religion was faulty,
may they add, then, sentence
like this:
"He thought of the wife of his
neighbor as he'd have him be
thinking of his"
II they say that l cared much for
money; if they say I was guilty
of greed,
May they add that the widows and
orphans e'er found me a friend in
their need,
That I cared less for theory than
practice-while others taught sal
vation's plan,
strove all my life to be faithful
and be Just a brother to man.
If they say was seeking for pleas
ure, and by worldly things set |
quite a store,
May they add that no beggar when |
hungry was e'er turned away from
my door
So, when you have called the last
witness, and have heard every
thing he has said,
And I'm waiting to hear what's the
verdict; 7. am sure | shall not be
afraid;
For | know you will temper your
justice with mercy from your
heart of love-
And | think I'd be happy if ban
ished away from your kingdom
above,
If you say to your angel attendants:
I'VE will start him as once he be-
gan,
And leave him on earth through the
ages to be just a brother to man."

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 80, 1915.
TO all Canning Club Girls in Fla:
My Dear Girls:
Most of you have finished your
canning for this year, and are be-
ginning to look forward to the ex-
hibit IN the fall. l hope that each
one has made splendid showing,
but, whether you have or not, be
sure to fill out properly, the record
book and send in to your county
agent. Remember that we want to
hear about the failures as well as
the successes, SO do not fail to send
IN your record book. This shows
that YOU have really finished a thing
which you started out to do. and
am sure no one wants to be a
"quitter."
Wouldn't it be fine if every girl
could go to the county exhibit this
year? We are planning some very
interesting things for that contest,
and I am sure every one of you
would have a lovely time. You
would learn several things and have
a good trip, whether you won big
prize or not. So let us all send in
our reports and then go to the ex-
hibit. Your County Agent will write
you when to come, what to bring,
etc.
Hoping that your work in the
club has been enjoyable and profit
able, and that you will finish this
year and then determine to do bet
ter things next year. am,
Very truly yours,

Girls Club Agent.
