FARMERS DAY" HAS
BEEN PROCLAIMED
By Gov. Trammell in Ac-
cordance with Plan In
augurated by Legis-
lature.

Farmers Day." a special day set
apart by the legislature of 1915 for
farmers gatherings in Florida, in the
hope that it would "take with the peo-
pie" and add another to the very few
days we now have for community en-
joyment, has been proclaimed in an
official proclamation by Gov. Tram
nell.
The News trusts the farmers of
Putnam county will make arrange
ments for picnics and other gather
ings in their various communities, or
meetings for a general discussion of
topics of particular interest to farm
ers. 1t may take some time to secure
a universal adoption of Farmers Day
in Florida, but the sooner we get at
the better will it be for all of US. We
have too few general picnics in this
State, and we can think of no day
which could be more appropriately
planned for community enjoyment.
The following is Gov. Trammell's
proclamation:
State of Florida
Executive Office.
By the GOVERNOR-A PROCLA-
NATION.
WHEREAS, The last Legislature
enacted law designating the second
Friday in October of each year as
Farmers Day." and;
WHEREAS, The farmers and grow
ers of Florida constitute a most sta
pie and dependable factor in the ma
terial development and permanent
prosperity of the State, and;
WHEREAS, The farmers and grow
ers well merit being honored by hav-
ing one day in each year designated
as legal holiday in their honor, and;
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable that our
citizens in all vocations shall assist
in making Farmers Day" one of
pleasure as well as an occasion for
furthering and encouraging our great
agricultural interest, which is the
very cornerstone of the common
wealth's prosperity, and;
WHEREAS, 1t will be mutually
beneficial for all the people of Flori-
da to assemble at picnics and other
public gatherings in the different
sections Of Florida, for day of pleas
ant social intercourse and in furth-
erance of the interest of our farm
ers and growers.
THEREFORE, |, Park Trammell
Governor of the State of Florida, dc
hereby proclaim Friday OCTOBER

Florida, the people assemble and ar
range for an appropriate celebration
of said day.

State of Florida to be affixed at

A Progressive People

St. Augustine Record: The Palat-
ka News tells in detail the result of
the vote for the bond election a few
days ago, when certain districts of
East Putnam, supported by a tremen-
dous majority. voted an issue Of sos,
600 for brick highways. The figures
show BAT for to oaly 81 AGAINST this
measure. The town of San Mateo,
greatly to its everlasting credit, gave
a solid maiority of 80 for the bond
issue. Federal Point did the same
thing, only that the figures were 26
to 0. East Palatka came within an
ace Of following this example, the vote
there being 53 to /. One Of the Pa
latka districts voted 81 to 0. 9th
err districts in Palatka did almost as
well, except two where the colored
people were induced to vote against
the issue. The details in connection
with the selling Of the bonds and pre-
parations for road work will he push
ed as vigorously as possible, and it is
hoped that within a year and a half,
st. Augustine and Palatka will be able
to boast of a brick highway every
inch of the distance between the two
cities. 1t will mean a mutual benefit,
and bring our Palatka neighbor a
great deal closer than has heretofore
been possible.

SOrely Disappointed

Daytona Journal: The Tampa
Times must be sorely disappointed, af-
ter severely criticising Governor
Trammell for the pardon of D. NJ. Da-
wilson, to find that he was pardoned
only because another confessed the
murder with which he was charged.
Now the Times might turn and criti-
else the governor for permitting an
innocent man to serve six years in the
state convict camp. Any old thing
goes with the Times provided it can
be twisted into condemnation of Gov
ernor Trammell

to have been too drunk to know it.
These men were just ordinary hui
man beings. Had it not been for a
disposition to drink liquor, some Of
them might have become something
more than just ordinary. They all
had mothers who nursed them in in
fancy and entertained hopes that their
little ones might grow into useful cit
liens.
Sober, these men were not of the
fighting kind; it was the drink that
transformed them. The special brand
of liquor used by them is labeled en-
dian Bill" 1t is advertised and sold
from JACKSONVILLE by a well-known
wholesaler and rectifer of that place
at the alluring price of "Three Full
Quarts for Three Dollars"
The men in the boat had twenty
four quarts.
Remember, that sober, these men
were not especially quarrelsome; but
with a sufficient quantityhof Indian
Bill" under their skin,. THERE WAS
HE'LL TO PAY.
Who is the real murderer, or the
murderers?
1t was not these men; they were
crazy with the drink.
1t was the man who distilled the
decoction which crazed them-the "ln-
dian Bill" of legitimate commerce in
Florida-he was the real murderer.
The Jacksonville wholesaler, or rec
tifer, was particeps criminis-an ac-
complete. He sold the sealed pack
ages through systematic and ingeni-
Gus advertising-Four Full Quarts
for Three Dollars-and will continue
to so advertise and sell under the
sanction of the Davis package law, the
same righteous CD law which the An
ti-Salooon League of Florida lobbied
for in the Florida legislature of 1915,
and for the enforcement of which this
organization has asked the Christian
people of the State to get on their
knees and implore Divine aid in their
churches next Sunday.
Under this law sealed packages are
legitimate articles of commerce; it
is the sale by the drink only that is
tabooed.
Indian Bill" in quantities of -Four
Full Quarts for Three Dollars" will
still be legally distributed under the
Davis law which becomes effective
next Friday, October LIST, and which
law has the approval of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Florida. Let US Pray.

Canning Club Work =

Tampa Tribune: The problem of
conserving the surplus fruits and veg
etables of Florida farms is well on the
way to proftble solution. The wo
men and girls of the Florida Canning
Clubs, under the direction of Miss Ag
mes Ellen Harris, State agent, and her
corps of helpers, are learning to util-
ize these products not only for home
consumption but also for local mar
kets. Hundreds of club members are
supplying the canned goods for home
consumption which were formerly
purchased from retail houses, and in
addition they are increasing the fami-
ly income by selling those products
which under other conditions were
wasted in the field.
In 1912 ninety-eight girls in Flori-
da canned $4,000 cans of tomatoes.
One county has canned almost three
times that amount of fruits and veg
etables this year. Another county
agent reports $4,000 cans. Up to
June club members and farmers had
purchased 10000 cans in Marion
County. Marjorie Van Horne of
Dade County canned 1858 cans in
month, and in two days during May
she canned 592 cans. Similar results
are reported for other parts of the
State. The result of such work is
that hundreds of families have been
able to reduce living expenses "od -
the same time to live better. Furth-
ermore the girls have been able to dis
pose of the surplus above the famil
needs.

Birds as Neighbors.

Most people enjoy having birds,
especially song birds, as neigh
bors. Few people, however. have
a very definite idea of how much
value birds really are to the far
mers of the United States. 1t
has been stated recently that the
annual loss to the farm crops Of
the United States due to insects
is more than $4OO,O 900. 900 and al
so that a large part of this loss
could be prevented by birds if
they were protected from slaugh-
ter. This game would seem worth
while.

Call to Enforce Bird
Laws.

A circular has just been issued
by TIE General Federation of
Women's Clubs, calling on its
members to aid in the enforce
ment of the federal migratory
bird law, recently enacted. The
attention of the members is call
ed to the fact that the fate of
the birds dependsgpea the en-
forcement 81 the new law, and
the enforcement of the law de-
pends largely on public opinion.
Attacks made on the law have
failed and two judges have held
it to be constitutional, thus Civ
ing courage to the members of
the federated clubs in fighting
for the protection Of the birds.
The circular was prepared by
Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman,
who lives at the Hyde Park Ho-
tel, and who is chairman Of the
conservation department. Spe-
cific recommendations are made
as conditions cover the various
states. Particular reference is
made to the staying of bob. o.
links as game under the name of
rice birds" and freed birds"
The fact that bob-o'-links are
now served on the dining tables
of Washington hotels is called a
disgrace to the nation. The mar
ket hunters ard pot hunters"
are pointed out as men to be
watched in particular Cor viola
tions. Chicago Daily News.

Insanity in Country and
Town.

A few years ago it was gener-
ally held that the percentage Of
insanity was greater in rural
than in urban communities. This
fact (?) was attributed to the
lack of social conditions and to
the over-worked condition of ma
ny rural people. The 1910 cen
sus shows that Al persons in each
100, 900 in rural communities were
admitted to asylums for the in
sane and that Sc in each 100, 1000
in urban communities were ad-
mitted to such institutions. 1t
is, therefore, the farmers turn
to ask the urbanites, who is lu-
ny now?"
The 1910 census report also
shows that the cases Of insanity
reported in institutions has in
creased 25 per cent from 1904 to
1910. The total population in.
creased only IL per cent during
the same period. This shows that
the insane in asylums increases
twice as fast as the population
This is due partly. at least, to the
fact that the facilities for the
care Of the insane was greater
and a larger proportion of insane
persons we're in asyldms in 1911
than in 1904.

A College Education.

The other day a young man
committed suicide in Chicago al
most Immediately after telling a
friend, -Four years in college
have not helped me a bit. Igrad-
uated with honors and now |
come home and cannot finda job. "
In this case there was nothing
wrong with the education, but
the young man expectedtoo much
of it. He thought it would be
an open sesame to the business
world. He overlooked the fact
that education cannot stand for
character; that there is necessity
for all men at some time or an
other to stand the buffets of the
fates and insofar as they are to
fight back and to come to the
line from which he may have
been knocked with a smile and a
grim determination to win in the
end. There are many men who
get discouraged quickly. They
cannot face their friends who
seem more fortunate because
they have a position. They grow
morbid, and while few take to
suicide, some get reckless and
show their weaknesses in other
WAYS. There is room and neeC
in this world for all men, but
they must make their own pla
ces. Few of US accept" posi-
tions, but many of us must hun
for them. And it is this hunt
and the manner in which w
conduct ourselves in the process
as well as the way we perform
the daily duties within our reach
that makes whatever educatio
we may possess really wort
i while. Milwaukee News.

Getting Tired Of Fads.

Oregon, home of the initiative
referendum and recall and of tn,
direct primary, is getting tireC
of its fads and now proposes tt
return to the older order. The
voters, if one can Judge by the
sentiment aroused and the pledg-
es of members of the legislature,
| will repeal the direct primary
law and either repeal or greatly
modify the initiative, referendum
and recall statutes. Voters find
that it is a waste of energy to e.
lect legislatures to do their work
and then have all the work thrown
back on them. For a few years
the new fads were popular, but
in the last two elections almost
every proposal has been rejected
by the people, probably because
they did not understand what
was proposed in a whole book of
statutes presented fer their con-
sideration. The primary laws
also have not worked we'll, since
it has amounted to holding two
elections instead of one, and be-
cause it has been discovered that
candidates with the longest pur-
ses or those who are backed by
the most money and strongest
organizations invariably win.
None of the expected benefits
have been secured. The voters
feel that the country got along
fairly well for a hundred years
and more under the old system
and are quite willing to have an
other try at it. Any system of
government which en-
deavnrs to place too many bur
dens and responsibilities upon
the Individual is certain to fail.
Leadership is a law of nature
and around chosen leaders peo-
pie will continue to group re-
gardless of faddist legislation.
The primary has done nothing to
purify politics. Such purifca-
ton as has come about is through
the general increase of intelli-
gence and personal feeling of
civic responsibility. The coun-
try is getting tired of people who
are always trying to reform
someone else Philadelphia In
