The News regrets that so promis-
ing a man as Senator Farris of Du-
val county should wreck his political
prospects by casting his vote against
the submission of constitutional pro-
hibition. Farris is large man
large enough to see that unless he
has the power within himself to shake
off the Jacksonville whisky influence,
he can never be Governor of Florida.
The time has come when men in pub
lie office must take one side or the

Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-

Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-
tents In Board Feet.
The contents of trees in board feet
is usually figured by Doyle's rule. This
rule is to deduct four inches from the
small diameter Of the log for slab,
squaring one quarter Of the remainder
and multiplying the results by the
length of the log in feet. For example,
to find the contents of a twelve foot
log twenty-four inches in diameter Qn-
side the bark) at the small end-24
inches minus inches equal 20 inches;
20 inches by Il equal inches; 5 by 5
by II equal 300 board feet.
Perhaps an easier way to get at the
same result Is to state the rule as fol-
lows: From a sixteen foot log deduct
four inches for slab and square the
remainder For longer or shorter logs
the contents would be proportioned to
the length. In the above case it would
be worked out thus "a minus equals
20, 20 by 20 equals 400, for a sixteen
foot log. But a twelve foot log is
twelve-sixteenths or three quarters as
long as a sixteen foot log; therefore
this log contains three-quarters Of 400
board feet, or 300 board feet. If the
log were twenty feet long it would
contain one and one-quarter times 400
feet, or 800 feet

RUSSIAN NIGHTS.

When the war broke out we reac
with thrills descriptions of shells
bursting a mile away, and the wai
correspondel is analysis of his con-
fused state, half-elation, half-fright
when first under fire. But now the
writer has to do more than that to
get a response from his reader
Perceval Gibbon, who has represented
the London Daily Chronicle with the
Russian troops in Poland ever since
the war began, gives an extremely
vivid and thrilling description of a
German charge in this months Ev-
erybody's:
The nights have a Russian fla
vor; they are acid, edged like
knife, fanged like a wolf with
cruel cold. The wounded who are
not found till the next day die of
it. Yet these are the nights in
which the Germans come down
from behind their foremost
trenches, backed by tempest of
rife fire and shelling, couple of
batalions at time, and surge
across the narrow strand between
their defenses and the water, the
lines of them swaying back and
forth Inder the scourge of the
Russian fire.
Down into the water they go,
the water that bites like vitrol,
stamping through the ice under
the bank, bearing ever forward
against the farther bank that is
lighted like festive street with
the blaze of rifles and mitrail-
leuses. Armpit deep, with their
rifles upheld above their heads,
clear of the water, the search
lights that mock the light slash
ing across the sky and setting up
on them bewilderingly, pointing
them out to the immediate finger
of death, they come! | was in
the positions when they attacked
in force, four times between dark
and sunrise Four times down
into that water in the face of
fire, four times blown off their
feet by the rifles and the pretty
little machine guns that do their
work so devilishly, four times
shattered and ground into a wa
ter staining pulp of broken flesh
and next night they attacked
again.
