An Answer

DEAR PETE:-Your letter a.
unused me very much for evident
ly you are growing morbid on one
subject at least. Are you not
putting yourself on a pedestal in
presuming to criticise young lad
les so severely? If girls do not
come up to our ideals, are not we
i'll great measure the cause
When desiring a lady's society
for the evening, do you seek one
of the modest ones, or do you, in
common with most Of us, prefer
the gay, bold type? Who is il
that gets the rides, the treats, the
fun? Not the quiet little nun sit
ting at home, but the one who
gives us a good time for an hour
or two. I'll.
Again, what is our fitness for a
wife so good and pure? Most of
us smoke, drink more or less, gam
BILE too, and are far from being as
pure in thought or deed as we
want our wives to be. No! If we
are to hold the ideal wife so high,
let us make ourselves fit for such
a companion. Most girls marry
knowing very little of the inner
or real life of their husbands; to
them their ideal has come.
Imagine the awakening when

An American in Mexico

c. T. Richard, British Vice Con-
sui at Frontera, Tabasco, Mex,
near where there has been fighting
between forces of the several fac
tons in that war-scarred country,
writes interestingly to his brother,
FL. s. Richard, in this city, about
conditions and events that have
come under his observation. The
elder Mr.. Richard has been IN
Mexico since Dec. 81, 1906, and
has prospered there, owning now
several thousand acres of land on
which he has a large banana plan
tation; but since the country has
been in the throes of war, the
cost of living has gone high and
conditions become uncertain. He
mentions some prices that are in
teresting, viz: corn 1Sc per b.,
-four $4,000 per cwt., potatoes zoe
ID, eggs Toe each, butter $3.50
per ID. In one letter he refers to
some skirmishing IA miles from
Frontera that, in the news dis
patches, was played up as a big
battle. He says there has been
no street fighting in his town, and
they are in no danger, unless
there should be American armed
Intervention, in which case it
might be all over with them before
troops of this country could take
charge of the port. As there is
probability of this gentleman of
such interesting experiences visit
ing his brother here next summer.
Punta Gordans may have the op-
portunity of seeing and talking
with him.

If you are one of those who are
praying for and looking forward
to happier world beyond the
grave, here is a message of glad
ness for you. You may enter in
to and realize that happy world
now lit fills the whole universe,
and it is within you, waiting for
you to find, acknowledge and
possess. Said one who knew the
inner laws of being:
"When men shall say 10 here,
or 10 there, go not after them; the
kingdom of God is within you"
What you have to do is to be-
lieve this, simply believe it with
a mind unshadowed by doubt, and
then mediate upon it till you I'M
derstand it. You will then begin
to purify and to build your inner
world, and, as you proceed, pass
ing from revelation to revelation,
from realization to realization,
you will discover the utter power
lessness of outward things beside
the magic potency of a self-gov-
erned soul.-JAMES ALLEN.

NEGROES SUE CITY FOR
FALSE IMPRISONMENT

Miami. July 2O-A case that VIII
probably prove of more than passing
interest to the city of Miami is De-
ing heard before Judge Barco, IN the
county court Saturday afternoon, IN
which Albert Williams, negro hned
for selling liquor in July OF 1914
seeks damages from the city for
false Imprisonment, charging that
tbere was no city ordinance at that
time To conform with the state law
in reference to the sale OF liquor.
Williams is appealing his case, the
argument being conducted by by at
torneys.
In July of 1914 five or six negroes
were arrested on charge OF selling
liouor without license, and each
was fined $50 in the city police
court. The attorneys for Williams
claim that although state law COW
cred the case, there was no city or
dinance on the question and that
Williams was fined unlawfully. II
the case against Williams is decided
against the city, it will probably
mean that there will be four or fve
other suits of the same nature, and
that the city fathers will have to set
tie the bill.

EXPECTED INCREASE OF 4,OOO,.
600 BUSHELS IN FLA. CORN CROP

Bradentown, July 20-In arguing
for the employment of county dem
onstration agent by Manatee county
before the Board of County Commits
sioners, A. p. Spencer, district agent
of the Farmers Cooperative Dem
onstration Work of the University of
Florida, declared that he expected
to see an increase Of 100000 BUSH
els in the corn crop as direct re-
suit of boys corn clubs.
Mr.. Spencer said that the passage
by the legislature of a law provid-
ing that county commissioners may
make appropriations for this purpose
has removed 'theobstacle placed in
the way of the county board year
ago, when an injunction proceeding
prevented the employment of coun-
ty demonstration.
There now are thirty-siX Florida
counties with demonstrators under
State University supervision and
1000 corn club boys are working
under their direction, successfully.
Mr.. Spencer declared that he ex-
pected the Florida corn crop of this
year to reach a total production of
fifteen million bushels against eleven
million bushels last year, climax
in corn production which has in
creased consistently from year to
year.
Mr.. Spencer said that approXi-
mately one hundred silos would be
constructed this season in Florida.
The silos have been tried out in the
State sufficiently to demonstrate
their volue and utility and it is said
that they have proved to be a val
liable asset on farms where they
have been installed.
The Board of County Commission
ers took under advisement the pro-
iect of an appropriation for the en-
ployment of a county demonstration.
