reader, 80 l bought some wooden

with white silk and then with the lace
scraps that we're left after cutting out
the heavy white lace yoke and short
sleeves, and they look almost as well
as real crochet buttons, and cost al
most nothing"

WHAT JERRY DID

Probably the general recollection
of the man who thirty-five or forty
years ago was a boy, is that the boy
of that day and generation was gem
orally counted as a nuisance rather
than as a potential factor in the de-
velopment of his country 1t may he
set down that perhaps his recollec-
tion was entirely correct and that
the boy had to grow into a man be-
fore he became of substantial worth.
II is different now, and the boy of
today has his chance as his father
never had his. at the same age, and
there is much in present conditions
to encourage the boy of today, no
matter under what conditions of
poverty or disease, he may labor

In 1910 Jerry Moore, a 15-year-
old boy of South Carolina, raised
something over two hundred and
twenty-eieht bushels Of corn on one
acre of land That had never been
done before in South Carolina or
anywhere else. Jerry showed that
the men of the country were raising
half the corn ON the land under

income on one product, more than
fifteen million dollars year, which
proved him valuable boy.
But his influence did not stop at
his state boundaries. Other boys
undertook to do what he had done,
some succeeded and passed him. Men
discovered that his methods could be
applied to larger fields and as a re-
suit there has been a tremendous in
crease in the production of corn all
over the country and it is safe to
say that Jerry Moore has proved to
be the most valuable boy to his
country yet born.
All right for Jerry. Now. how
about the other boys? Thousands of
them inspired by his success have
proven themselves efficient farmers.
in many cases far outstripping their
fcthers and showing the old gentle
men many new methods by which
they and the whole country have
profited. They have not confined
themselves to the production OF
corn, exclusively, but they have
learned to produce other things and
are becoming efficient breeders of
cattle and hogs, adding untold mil
lions to the wealth of the nation, to
say nothing of establishing them
selves at early ages in profitable,
pleasant and honorable business.
What Jerry Moore did, what the
other thousands of boys have been
able to do, still other boys can do,
as the field is unlimited and cannot
be crowded. Any boy of average
health and average intelligence can
do his part in this development. He
can begin to do it at an early age
and can be assured that when he ar
rives at mans estate he will be we'll
equipped for the battle of life.
The boy who is discouraged over
his prospects for getting along
should think about Jerry Moore, who
started with one acre, and take heart
of hope that in some like field of
occupation he can do, II not so
much, his full share and find a way
for himself in life. Jerry did it.
Any other boy can do it.-Miami

TRAMMELL'S SCHOOL
LAND PROPOSITION

The idea is deeply seated that
American safety lies first in the edu-
cation of the people. Some folks af-
feet to believe that safety first lies
in guns and gun powder. But even
granted that guns and gun powder
may, on occasions be very necessary,
they best serve their purpose under
the most intelligent direction. Edd-
cation however, is the powerful lever
that holds the guns and gun powder
in check and oft times secures
through intelligent diplomacy what
munitions of war can never achieve.
Witness, for example the policy of
our Academic" president. "Academ-
ic," once used in derision, has be-
come a slogan of strength.
America needs safety valve for
itself. Ignorance or near-isnorance
is the greatest menace to the in
ternal safety of any nation, for 1t
breeds idleness, helplessness, poverty
and crime. Everyone, therefore,
from the school teacher up to the
governor who promotes the educa-
ton of the people materially assists
in the creation of an Empire or Re-
public.
Governor Trammell's plan to Sc
cure from the federal government
larger land grants in the State is
long stride in the right kind of fed
eral aid-aid that is free from the
Objectionable features of federal con-
troll and that returns to the State 4
portion of the inherent rights in her
own soil. State soil may thus be
used for the double purpose of max
ing 1.-TWO blades of grass to grow"
and Teaching the young idea to
shoot"
All right, Governor. You should
capture the vote of at least every
father, brother. uncle, cousin, grand
father and son on that proposition.

THE PRICELESS ASSET
OF A STRONG JUDICIARY

Fortunate is the State whose jul
dietary is composed of men of ade-
quate learning in the law, force and
vigor of character, high conscien-
tiousness and that fine, virile quality
of mind that scorns the shackles OF
mere needless technical restraints
and drives straight for right and
justice in every case.
With such judges to administer
our laws and send out through every
rank and grade of the population the
strong, uplifting influence of their
own high examples of fidelity to law
and order and conscience and duty,
Florida will always be safe, for the
very keystone of our civilization is
an efficient and incorruptible judi
ciary. Neither learning in the law
nor integrity of character, nor both
combined can make good Judge.
To these he must add the force and
vigor and decision without which the
finest mechanism but mocks the pur-
pose of its creation.
And, speaking of judges, the Tam
pa Times has the following to say Of
Judge o. K. Reaves, but recently
appointed to the bench of the Pincl-
las district, and who has come into
state.wide prominence as presiding
Judge at Clearwater in the Menden-
hall trial:
'Tn his rapid-fire but justice-de-
handing disposition of the various
features of the Mendenhall and To-
bin murder cases, Judge o, X.
Reaves has begun his judicial career
in a manner that meets with the ap-
prevail of all Floridians. 1t seems evil
dent that he is going to be judge
of his circuit at all times, and that
he will not submit to bullying tao
tics by lawyers or the rule of flimsy
legal technicahties that so often de-
feat the ends of justice and thereby
arouse the ire of people of all classes
Judge Reaves has handled himself
like veteran since he assumed Of
fee and the Times sincerely hopes
for the honor of the bench and bar
that he will continue to make good
record"

IS THE SUBMARINE
A FAILURE?

! CNew York Journal of Commerce)
The Providence Journal, which
seems to have or assumes to have,
mysterious sources of exclusive war
information, comes out now and
then with rather startling specimens
which by no means prove in all
cases to be authentic or approx
mately correct. 1t has just printed
what it calls the full and accurate
story of the way in which the Brit
ish navy has destroyed 80 per cent
of the German submarines and
brought it's undersea warfare Ito
complete failure within the last two
months" According to this STORY"
sixty-seven German submarines,
twenty-eight of which are de
clared to be of the newest and last
construction, have been sunk and
their crews destroyed by the British
navy since May s." 1t is further
stated on what is alleged to be
positive authority that the full
capacity of the German navy yards
for producing the undersea craft Is
not more than three a month, but
even if they could be replaced as
fast as they are destroyed, Germany
would face most grave situa-
ton" in the actual destruction of
the morals Of the officers and crews
IF such vessels
The writer of the "full and ac-
curate story proceeds to tell in some
detail how British torpedo boat de-
stroyers of great speed used in pairs,
take lengths of galvanized wire net
ting 17G feet long and of depth of
of twcn., seven feet, with a fifteen
foot mesh, each length between two
of the low lying and smokless craft,
and as soon as a submarines perls-
cope is sighted move slowly down at
, a distance of a mile or less and after
! getting ahead of it's path cut away
/ the lashings which hold the ends OF
the netting to the vessels. 1t is ode
clared" that three times out of four,
when this is done, the submarine
has run directly into this netting,
which by the time the submarine
reaches it has sunk from eight to
ten feet below the surface, and that
! with bows once enmeshed the sub
marine turns turtle and sinks out of
sight," and the officers and crew go
with it.
II this story is true, 1t is not to
be wondered at that, apart from the
thinning out of these mOnstrOus
craft, the morale" of those who
man them goes to actual destruc-
tion." They do not seem to be
merely running risk, but facing
almost certain death in their cruis-
ing about and lying in wait to de-
stroy somebody else. These crews
require training and experience as
well as recruiting, and even if the
supply of vessels could be kept up,
that of men could hardly be main
tanned if this full and accurate
story" is really true. If it is true
the change in tone and attitude OF
the German authorities with refer
ence to continuing the submarine
warfare may also be accounted for :.
If it is a failure and will have to be
abandoned for lack of vessels and
crews, it may be making a virtue
of necessity to agree to refrain from
attacking merchant ships without
warning and to refer to arbitration
the question of reparation for what
has been done. Diplomatic agree
ment even to desist entirely from
this kind of warfare may be made
to cover it's absolute failure, except
as means of exhibiting national
character.

Cole Blease is generally recognized
throughout the country as a reckless
and irresponsible freak in his pub
lie utterances, who courts notoriety
by explosive hot air performances
whose only purpose is to feed his alb
normal vanity by directing attention
to the performer. Unlike some other
freaks, he is without trace of gem
ius or high ability to palliate his
freakishness, and the stamp of me-
diocrity is upon all he says. The 9TH
err day in Chicago, where he saw a
good chance to get into the limelight
by abusing the president of his own
party in the camp of the enemy, he
relieved himself of this unmitigated
drivel
There are more deserted homes,
more shops for rent, more ruined
fortunes and more starved persons in
the South today than at any time
since the civil war. Just because the
incumbent administration hasn't
backbone enough to protect the cot
ton restrictions tryannically laid
down by the British.
What rot. The South, in COM
mon with the whole country, has
felt the pressure of world war that
has so largely held up the worlds
commerce and seriously diminished
our trade both in exports and i'm
ports, but nothing could be more
mdicrously wide of the mark than
the silly, senseless yawp of Blease
about deserted homes, ruined for
tunes and starving persons in this
section because our cotton is not go
ing as freely now into all Euro
pean ports as 1t did before the war.
No such condition of woe and ruin
prevails in any part of the South as
the Carolina noise-maker has pic
tured. and to give emphasis to the
untruth of his statement we have
only TO point TO the fact that cotton
today is quoted at IL cents and ev-
cry farmer who has ii for sale can
market it at handsome profit. Pro-
fessional freaks and calamity shrek
ers like Blease are, of course, nui-
sance, as every needless and dis
turbing noise is, but by way of com
pensation they are soon appraised az
their true value and cease to be TAX
en- seriously except by themselves.
