Speaking Trumpet Is Old.

Duhamel, Frenchman, claimed for his country the credit of the invention of the speaking trumpet, and referring to the object in one of his books he says: Among many things which the celebrated D'Alance caused to be made for this purpose, the trumpet ascribed to Alexander and with which he called together his army, ought not to be omitted. As the figure of it was represented in an old manuscript in the Vatican library and had been ascribed to Bettiui, that learned man was desirous of trying whether 1t could be proved by experience, and the attempt succeeded; for that kind of a trumpet, if it does not excel, seems undoubtedly to equal the other instruments constructed for that end"

An Alligator Story.

The st. Johns Park correspondent
of the Bunnell Tribune of last week
says:
"Mac Davis and two of his sons had
quite an experience with an alligator
on Crescent Lake one day last week.
While rowing along the gator APP
peared before the boat and attempted
to overthrow them, but the three men
we're too st1ong for him and after a
long ard hard fight he went away.
Mr.. Davis did not have a gun or weap-
on of any kind with him or we would
have the enemy face to face. The same
week Mr.. Davis was hunting in the
woods north of town and came upon
quite a large bear lying dead on the
ground. The carcass Of several hogs
were found where the bear had evil
IDENTIFY been feasting. Several hogs
have been missed and no trace Of the
enemy had been found until this time.
Tracks of other bears and cubs were
seen and no doubt there are a good
many in this section. This sounds
much like a fish story but it is a real
bear story this time.

Dentist,


"Apply the Babcock Test to the
grove and eliminate the drones.' Leo
B. Scott, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture Bureau of
Plant Industry struck a responsive
note in the Citrus Seminar at the U nj
versity of Florida with the foregoing
statement. Mr.. SCOTS lecture was
on bud selection. He has been con-
nected with the bud selection inveStl-
cation in California for four years.
He advised the growers to be rs care
full in selecting their budding STOCK
as the progressive farmer Is in Sc
lecting his seed corn. Experiments
in California have shown that BUDS
selected from heavy bearing trees
produce like offspring. He would
have the grower select not only from
productive trees but from the heavy
bearing branches of those trees.
Mr.. Scott said that only 10 per cent
of the trees in many groves were pro-
ducing a profit. The remainder were
barely paying expenses or were an
actual loss. To be able to tell which
frees are working and which are loaf
ing he advises the growers to keep IN
diyidual performance records. Guess
work and general impression will not
do. Furthermore, the individual REG
ords will show from which trees the
bud wood should be taken.
at is just as important for the
f,,it grower to know the production
Lof each tree as it is for the dairy
man to know the production OF each
cow" said Mr.. Scott. Each tree
should be given a number which Will
indicate the block, row, and position
in the row. Pickers should be as
signed to a group of trees and the
nroduct of each tree should be kept
fenarate and recorded on printed
hanks. This method gives increased
efficiency and places the responsible
tv for the picking on certain men. =,
Z The bud wood should be selected
from good standard record trees with
The fruit attached. This method
eliminates any chances of using buds
from drone trees or branches. Trees
which have been proved loafers from
tbe records should be rebudded from
tbis stock, or if they are unhealthy,
or unthrifty they should be replaced
nv Young trees budded from produc-
tive trees.

Law Only Beginning Of Task to Protect
Children From Overwork and Exploitation
Child Labor Certificate System in Connecticut First Step
Toward Safeguarding Health and Character Of
Future American Citizens.

prepared for Herald" by Children S
Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor.}
The childrens bureau of the de-
partment of labor issued yesterday a
report OH the administration of the
child labor certificate system in the
state of Connecticut. This is the first
OF a series of studies to show how the
laws to protect working children
actually do so in practice.
When q legislature has been induced
to place a child labor law on it's statute
books, the public often assumes that
it's duty is ended. On the contrary.
this inquiry assumes that such law
is only beginning in the task of pro-
tecting children from overwork and
exploitation. The next and by far the
greater task is to see that the law is
carried out.
q According to the L.. s. census of
1910. over $4,000 of our nations
children from ten to fifteen years old
were at work in factories, shops. and
other non-agricultural positions. AT
that age the boys and girls who leave
school to so to work do not leave it
for life of luxury. For the most part
they go to work in order to add to the
family income. BY what legal ma
CI1neTy are these CililQIS1l pIOLSCJGQ
Protect Children at Work.
Child labor laws are designed to
protect children at work, and in such
laws the employment certificate. or
the child's working card, is the key
to their enforcement. The working
card is the child's identification card
It shows that he is entitled to work
and it furnishes a record OF every
child at work and therefore subject to
the law. For this reason tho children s
bureau is studying the employment
certificate systems to learn how far
the laws which have been made to
protect working children actually do
so.
To whom does the child apply for
his working papers? If the certifi-
cate states that he can read and
write Simple sentences how we'll
must he read, how we'll must he write,
and who is to judge what is Sim
pie" sentence? How does he prove
that he is of legal age to work
Whose property is the working card
