The hasty judgment Of the herd

him, kill hint" cried everybody, in
Guiding most Of the Florida papers,
when the question Of buzzard ex-
terminating law was recently
sprung in some State paper. But as
the question is more calmly consid

MES in effect that the carrion bird
spreads hog cholera or any other
disease. 1t is really not subject
to be treated flippantly, for beyond
question the buzzard does prodig-
GUS amount of good in scavenger
work and until we get a reliable
substitute we had better think twice
before we exterminate him. A buzz
zardless world might be a much
worse one than t is now. 1t would
almost certainly smell worse.

of Florida in which they are to
experiment with the growing OF
California grapes, in the nope
OF making this an importat IN

E. D. Mays, agricultural

while here made the announce

eight varieties OF grapes, had
been presented to ex.Mayor
Harry L. Higel, who will plant
them over at Siesta. This ex-

plants in localities which have
promised to try hand in devel-
oping the grape industry OF
Florida.
+" Years ago." said Mr.. Mays
TODAY, large quantities OF
grapes were grown in some sec
tons of the state, but mostly for
home consumption and the
manufacture of wines. The
plants that we are girving away
now are of the very best variety
and grapes grown can be ship
ped out Of the state. We be-
lieve that our efforts will be the
means of stimulating the grow
ing of grapes and that, in time
it will nrove profitable to those
who engage in vineyard work.

There is a well founded political
rumor that some changes are likely
to be made at Tallahassee on the
next go round of offices. 1t is said
that Capt. R. E. Rose, now the
State chemist, will be in the race
for commissioner Of agriculture and
that Hon. W. A. Rawls, Of Pensa-
cola, formerly State chemist. will try
to land the place again in the event
Capt Rose decides to enter the race
for the higher place. Possibly no
two men are better known in all
Florida than these two. They have
friends by the thousands. Mr..
Rawls was once chairman of the
State Democratic executive commit
tee and at a time when the G. o. P.
gave us some little anxiety in this
section. He is clean, progressive
and would make, as he did before. a
model official.

The Vanity of Names.

Pictures of the sinking of the IT.
resistible in the Dardanelles induce
reflection on how few things which
man creates are irresistible. The
sinking of the Titanic on her maiden
voyage was another striking lesson in
the vanity of human nomenclature.
Names are but markers in our eff
forts to express ideas and ideals; and
many, many name has gone down
in this war, besides those attached
to fragile ships, says the Minneapolis
Journal
Many names for the ideals of the
human race, many names for the ego
tism of Twentieth Century progress
have been dragged in mire deeper
than the ocean depths. Civilization!
What a mockery has been made Of
this term!
The names for Christian forgive
ness of our enemies, meekness, chart
ty, gentleness, how Irresistible to
mans weakness and selfshness and
ava1ice have they been? How "ti-
tanic" are lust and avarice in these
boosted days!
And worst of all, what a use is
being made of the word "God' and
the word "Almighty!" No dastardly
act of vengeance, no act of cruelty,
no exaltation of brute force is COM
plete without a blasphemous plea
that it is committed because of Divine
Will.
Is there any more shameless exhi-
bition Of mans conceit than to ascribe
his own devilish doings to the influ-
ence of his spiritual attributes? The
pagans at least had god for war and
war alone, and they did not have the
brazen effrontery to make him at
once the inspiration of love and peace
and murder and rapine. Mars was
not an excuse for any double stand
ard of ethics.

Boardman, just now active director

WINGED that persons wishing to aid

that their work often duplicates our

spent twice for one end, whereas
there are so many things crying for
relief which we haven't the money
to relieve. I think this is in large
part due to the failure to under
stand that the Red Cross will apply
funds for any purpose for which it
is given. If $4,000 is given for
specific piece of relief work it is: used
for that and the same is true if the
sum given is S.. However, if we had
planned to spend the: same amount
Of funds already in hand for that
work we don't do it, we divert it to
another crying need.

ter. I wish they realized that when
congress created the Red Cross, act
ing under the Treaty of Geneva in
the creating Of a volunteer aid So
ciety, it intended that the Red Cross
should be the American peoples ex-
preston of sympathy and the Ameri-
can peoples means of helping the
