Wednesday morning at ten o'clock,
Miss Jessie Dent DAVIS and Mr.. Albert
j. Boardman Of Arcadia were married
at the home of the BRIDES parents on
College Hill. The ceremony, in which
the ring was used, was said by the
BRIDES venerable father in a beautiful
and impressive manner.
Only intimate friends of the family
we're present and after the wedding
Mr.. and Mrs. B~oardman left in their
automobile for Arcadia, there to take
the train for a honeymoon. trip in the
east.
The people of Fredericktown have
a particularly warm spot in their
hearts for Mr.. and Mrs. Boardman.
The bride was for several years a
teacher in the public and high schools
here and hundreds of children came
under the influence of her beautiful
life. She was active in church and
society, where she will be sadly
missed. Mr.. Boardman was for sever
al years cashier in the Bank of Fred
ericktown here, leaving about three
years ago to organize the Arcadia
Bank of which institution he is now
cashier. He has always been an
example of an honorable, courteous,
careful business man and was very
popular with all he met while here.
We are informed he has been even
more successful since taking charge
of the bank at Arcadia.
Mr., Boardman has just completed a
modern seven-room bungalow of red
granite stucco at Arcadia and there he
and his bride will reside after their
return from a honeymoon.
The good wishes of hundreds of
friends will follow them and desire for
them the very best of life's blessings.

PIG CLUBS FOR FLORIDA BOYS

HillsborOugh county has taken the
initiatibe in financing boys in the
business of pig raising. This is one
of the laudable enterprises inaugur-
ated by the Tampa Board of Trade.
Every boy who wishes to do SO is
given the opportunity to buy a brood
hog and make a start. 1t will like
~ take some considerable capital to
thus back all of the boys who will
take advantage of this offer, but the
business men of Tampa received the
plan with favor and went into it
enthusiastically. Now it is an
nounced that similar clubs will be
started in Marion county. The pig
clubs go hand in hand with the
boys corn clubs and girls tomato
clubs Orange county has gotten the
tomato club work started under the
capable management of an expert
enced worker in that line, and the
ReporterrStar hopes to see the corn
clubs and the pig clubs organized
and at work before another year
passes. No agency is doing more to
center interest on the farm. The
great problem has been to keep the
youn;' pople on the farm. There
is n" better way than to center their
interest by making their work profit
able and attractive and putting them
in competition with others. The
corn clubs and tomato clubs have
done this. and the possibilities
which they have opened have trans
cended the expectations of those who
first promoted the idea. The move
mem has become nationwide, and
the South has come into notice as a
desirable agricultural country in a
ma'rer which probably no other
agency would have advertised so
effectively. Best of all, however, has
/ beel the heart interest in farm work
the movement has brought to thous-
ands of boys and girls who never be-
fore realized the possibilities of
prof: and pleasure from farm life
and work-Orlando Reporter-Star.

The country is efficiency-mad
these days-in theory at least-and
we have put Efficiency on pedestal
and apostrophize it as the chief ex-

the American people when they
mount a hobby they ride it too far
and too fast, and lose sight of that
golden mean between the two ex-
trerles which nature and reason are
both constantly telling us is the true
goal to seek. There would be grave
disadvantage in the reign Of eff
cheney as the tyrant Of the human
race, and the despotism of benevo-
lent ignorance would not be near SO

and injustice and reducing us all to
cogs in a machine of Incompetent
sible vastness and complexity. Poor

FLORIDA FRUITS NOW SAFE
FROM BROKERS C0UPS

Atlanta, Nov. 3O-Speculators of
Atlanta and other points, who have
ruined in great measure the value Of
the Florida citrus fruit output in the
past by their encouragement of pre-
mature shipments of grapefruit and
oranges. have about delivered their
last commercial coup, according to
Louis Marks. United States food and
dru0 inspector in charge of the
southern division of the eastern dis
trict.
The grapefruit season is just COM
mencing and Florida growers have
so far shipped but 145 carloads from
the State. according to Inspector
MarksA Two of these cars have been
seized and confiscated by govern
ment officials in Atlanta. he says,
for carrying green fruit to market,
and forty-seven cars have been dealt
with in like manner in other cities
or the country.
Because this lar'se percentage OF
green grapefruit has been kept from
bupers. the demand for the fruit is
keeping pace with the supply, and
crates of the fruit are now selling
at SIS and Sc. says Mr. Marks. BY
the first of the year he expects
crates to hold to the price of $3.50
to 81 each, despite the large pros
pective yield, since the few consum-
ers have been turned" by fruit pre-.
matnrely picked.

FRENCH ALGERIAN SOLDIERS
,> EAT NO NEAT

Many races Of men have dis
tinguished and are distinguishing
themselves as soldiers in the worlds
war. but observers who have written
from the fields of operation, have
given it as their opinion that one of
the hest fighters in the French FIR
ing line is the Algerian, says the
Washington Star. An Interesting
reflection called forth by this COM
ment and a significant fact /. that
the Algerian soldier is a vegetarian,
or very nearly so. because those per-
sons who know the Algerians say
that 1t Is only twice a month at the
most that Frances North African
troops at home eat meat. and that is
when goat or lamb is killed. and
then the whole village takes part.
The common and usual fare of the
Algerian consists of wheat and
dates oil and milk, and beyond that
figs, oranges, eggs, cheese and vege-
tables Of all kinds.
Thc Algerian troops in France,
according to what appears to be re-
liable and authentic. reports have
not contracted the meat-eating hab-
it, and while serving in the fiercest
and most trying campaigns the
world has known feed practically on
nothing but dates and wheat por-
ridge mixed with oil.
The Algerian troops of France,
while maintaining a proud position
for valor and endurance among the
troops of all the warning world, are
said to stand pre-eminent for mill
tary efficiency amonr all the Afri-
can troops, there being number of
African races employed in the battle
fields of Northern France and Fland-

Because the old families have died

should teach partnership to either
side when the points Of difference
that were formerly acute enough to
fight about are involved. We would
prefer them to exercise an American
influence rather than a sectional
one. But many teachers who come
from the other side of the line do
exercise sectional influence and 1t
Is IN anti-Southern influence.
We are not bringing the charge
against all who come and we not be-
lieve the majority deserve it. but
some do. and those who do should
not have a place in Southern schools
though there is no reason to object
to their having a place in the South
anywhere else.
The truth Is the teachers any
where should be in full sympathy
with the people among whom they
live. The man who becomes a Flor
idial when he comes to the state is
just as worthy as a native of being
entrusted with any position. But
one who comes with the idea that he
is moving among an inferior people,
who in his heart holds himself a
superior to the people among whom
he lives. is not worthy of any posi-
ton among them that will give him
an opportunity Of prejudicing the
young. -.
The majority of teachers who
come South become Southerners.
That is to say they become fit to
teach in the South. If they do not
become Southerners they are not fit.
