LEMONS.

| Twenty thousand acres in young
lemon trees in California will soon
come into bearing and double the do
nestle supply. The crop for the year
ended August 81, 1915, was 6,66T
| cars, or 1872 per cent more than last
year All of which would indicate
that the protection which has been
given in recent tariff laws to our in
FAINT lemon industry has delivered the
goods. And the enormously increased
production of lemons might also sug
gest to some that lemon prices may
average little cheaper in the future
and that that deliciously refreshing
summer drink, lemonade, will be
within an easier reach of more peo-
pie. Little chance of any such luck.
though. The California lemon grow
erS are too clever. Those of them
who belong to the California Fruit
Growers Exchange have organized a
company to manufacture lemon by
products from the lower grades of
fruit that are not worth shipping, as
we'll as from fruit that demoralizes
the markets because of its inferior
quality" Of course, there is no good
reason why the lemon growers and
shippers of California shouldn't have
such a plant so that they may make
as much as possible out of their lemon
crop and let little of it go to waste.
But what a handy agency such a plant
will be to take care of surplus pro-
duction and thereby maintain lemon
prices. The line of demarcation be-
tween good lemons and those of in
ferior equality is exceedingly elastic.

Here is something to think about.

Here is something to think ABOUT.
E. A. Burdick of Rixford has one
half acre planted 20 dewberries.
Last year they bore; he sold ana
canned. in round figures. eighty dol
lars worth. That was the nrst
year and the plants will produce
much more hereafter and will live
for years. Mr.. Burdick has two va
rieties, one of which bears about ten
DAYS earlier than the other; thus
making the harvesting for home use
more convenient. However, 1t is
probable that the earlier berries Will
bring a better price on the markets
The cost of the plants was twenty
dollars, and the work of preparing
the land and cultivation was not
large, so that it appears that dew
berries are worth considering in this
locality.-Live Oak Democrat.

1t came to me the other day when
watched a mansof siXty-five or
seventy sitting isolated and alone in
a crowd of young people. One of
them, the hostess, was his daughter,
the rest were the young people of
the neighborhood. They were nice
young people and they were not rude
to him-far from it. They were all
civil and courteous, and yet-well,
he was Enthusiastically out of it.
Apart Instead Of a Part
The life eddied and swirled about
him, the sallies of wit, the references
to other good times flew back and
forth across his head; he was not a
part of it. Now and then someone
spoke to him, evidently making a
conscientious effort to do so, but for
the most part he sat in silence,
neither speaking nor spoken to.
AS | watched him and saw how
little he resented his isolation, with
what pathetically telltale patience
and accustomedness he acquiesced in
it, | felt a surge Of indignant pity
not only for him but for all the old

The Dixie Highway is going down
the East Coast, and that this is the
case is due to the energy and activ-
ity of the people living in that Sec
ton. The West Coast folks didn't go
after it hard enough, with the in
evitable result that they didn't get
it. 1t is not too late, however, to
see that prong of the highway
comes down through the West
Coast section, its course taking in
such cities as Gainesville, Ocala. Or
lando, Lakeland and Tampa, and,
possibly extending to Barlow and
Arcadia, thence across to connect
with the East Coast route All that
is necessary is for the counties and
communities along the proposed
route to get busy and provide for
building the necessary connecting
links. Such a road will draw tour
lists and visitors from all over the
country. and will prove an invalu-
able advertisement and asset to the
best and most attractive portion of
Florida.

Among the cruel and inhuman
customs developed by the war is the
practice of French officers kissing
their soldiers. Perhaps they proceed
on the theory that when a soldier is

like a demon. Most any real man

A favorite theme of Florida edi-
tors is the establishment of canning
factories to conserve the surplus
fruits and vegetables which now
largely go to waste. On the face or
things the canning factory PROPOSE
ton looks good; but the experience
of these institutions in Florida is
not encouraging. 1t is difficult to
get produce grown for the prce a
cannery can afford to pay, and In
the quantities necessary to its sue
cessful operation The best plan OF
conservation is that afforded by the
home canning outfit, whereby each
farmer may utilize his surplus prod
uct for home consumption or the
local market. The girls canning
clubs are doing a great work in this
respect, and should be encouraged as
one of the greatest economic factors
in combating the high cost OF NV
ing.

CONGRESSMAN H. A. COOPER Of this

CONGRESSMAN H. A. COOPER of this
district was placed in a position where
it was safest not to commit himself
last Thursday and he did the safest
thing. The suffragists of Racine, Wal
worth, Rock, Waukesha and Kenosha
counties called upon him at his home in
Racine to find out why he opposed the
amendment in favor of suffrage at the
last session of congress and to obtain
his present views. He made a nice
speech but the suffragists are still in
doubt as to whether he answered their
questions. He promised, however, to
confer with the other republican dele
gates from Wisconsin when he reached
Washington. He concluded by saying
he would continue to ''prayerfully con-
slider" it, to which an impatient voice
in the throng replied, don't pray too
long" The Burlington ladies express
ed themselves as highly pleased with
the meeting but badly disappointed in
the stand of Congressman Cooper

Preparedness Must Be Paid For.

The American people cannot eat their
cake and have it. If they want pre-
paredness for national defense they
must expect to pay for it. Prepared
ness is something that can be obtained
only by the expenditure of money. The
national government is facing budget
of 81, 24O, 900, 900, but in the main this
is a war budget. Excluding the postal
appropriations, which are for depart
ment that is practically self-sustainlng
so far as operating expenses go. the
administration and congress must pro-
vide approximately 5000, 900, 900 for the
next fiscal year. Of this sum $780,
900, 900 is for the army and navy, S17O,-
OOO, 900 for pensions and $23, 900, 900 for
interest on the public debt, which is a
charge. In these three items alone we
have 1923, 100000 for wars past and
wars to come and preparedness for war.
The total war charge is more than two
thirds of all the regular disbursements
of the government, and next year this
charge will far exceed the total Ordln-
ary revenues of this government IN
| 1909. 1t is very evident that there can
| be no sweeping economies in a govern
ment in which two dollars out of every
| three must be spent for military pur-
! poses. and while it is the duty of con-
gress to save every dollar that can be
saved, the amount will not be large:
| 1t cannot be large unless all the civil
activities of the federal authority are
to be suspended. The American peo-
pie face the certainty of an increase In
national taxation, and they might as
we'll face it philosophically unless they
believe that national security from for
eign aggression is not worth what il
costs. With an expenditure of S430,
