was the only boarder left that Sinh
mer. and l watched them intently.
Something seemed to be in Widow
Jerrold's mind. but wasn't sure what
1t was. Certainly Widow Jerrold was
a good woman; she had been a great
!. consolation to Captain Israel in his
times of trouble, and she was always
urging him to try to make himself
worthy of Widow Abigail, although the
two women weren't on speaking
terms.
The next time Captain Israel came
home never saw such a change in
any man. He had lost a good many
pounds, his face was pale and his eyes
sunken. and his voice had become .
husky rattle.
widow Abigail says I've got to
put myself to another test" he said.
she don't believe it's genuine. She
says she can't marry q man she amt
sure of, and how does she know I
don't drink and smoke and cuss when
I'm aboard, and then put on all the
new ways for her. She says I've got
to go and live with her sister, Mrs.
Primm."
sympathized deeply with Captain
Israel. He had been 50 coy and COM
Portable for years at Widow Jerrold's 9,
and now he had to take up his quar-
ters with Mrs. Primm, another of Bid
deford's ancient families. Mrs. Primm
was stricter even than Widow Abb
gail. and she could scent puff Of
cigarette across ten-acre field.
She'll lose him il she drives him
too hard" said to Widow Jerrold.
shall never forget the enigmatical
smile with which she favored me.
Some women know when they're
well on, and some DON'T she an
swered.
The captain took it very hard, but
Widow Abigail was adamant. saw
him standing miserably in the middle
of his room, looking about him at his
trophies. There was the cabinet Of
shells that he had brought from the
Bahamas, and the whales tooth, and
shark-skin whip, the assegais from
Zululand and the warclubs from the
Solomons. The captains personal
possessions were wrapped in little
bundle they we're the least of all.
Widow Jerrold came downstairs.
Can l help you to pack, Captain Is
rael?" she inquired in her mouse-like
way.
Mono, thank you," he stammered.
Il take it hard, Mrs. Jerrold, but-Im
going. There's nothing you can do"
Widow .Jerrold looked at the cap
tain In singular way. He looked at
her, and in that moment l think the
scales fell from his eyes, He saw the
coy little room, and the matr0nly fig-
ure at his side-and then, I think, he
saw Widow Abigail, with her angry
glare.
why don't you stay. Captain Is.
rael?" asked Widow Jerrold.
Somebody slammed the door. Pres.
emily l heard what sounded remark
ably like kiss.
When Captain Israel comes home he
roars for his pipes and grog. as of
old time. He sits at the table looking
out over the sea, and all who pass
cringe, for they know him for the
worst buckle captain afloat. Only at
home is he a changed man. When his
eye lights upon Mrs. Israel he speaks
as gently as a pet lamb, and there
isn't an oath in his vocabulary. But
II the name Of Widow Abigail comes

Emotional Expression.

"In all races of men," says Darwin,
"the expression of good spirits seems
to be the same. and it is easily recog-
nized." And he adds that from the
natives of New Zealand to the highly
civilized Caucasian much the same
forms Of emotional expression are to
be observed"

Dade County Schools
10 Teach Agriculture

A county agricultural high schoo,
the first in Florida-this is the now
est ambition of County Superintend-
ent of Schools R. E. Hall. who hos
taken the first steps toward securing
such a school in inviting DR.. i
McBrien, school extension agent Of
the government bureau of educatio,
to come here for conference ON tho
matter. DR.. McBrien will he baro
during one week in February and ha
will then investigate the situation
with extreme care and advise the of-
ficials as to methods of procedure
Lemon City is the proposed site
of this innovation in schools. At that
place are ten acres of school land
and handsome new $4,000 school
building. Its central location, proxi-
nifty to the new government experi-
mental station which is to be estab-
lished at Buena Vista, and the char
acter Of the soil there, make it the
most desirable spot in the country
for the purpose. says Mr.. Hail.
Supplement State College
THE idea of the agricultural high
school," states Mr.. Hall, sis to pro-
vide vocational education for the
young people whose need is right
away The State agricultural college
at Gainesville only turns out twenty
five or thirty graduates each year
and it will he seen that this is not
even one for each county in the
State In the county high school of
this type the children are taught
the methods Of planting and Guilt
walton suitable for local conditions.
THE idea has been successfully
tried in Mississippi and Minnesota
In the first State last year there
were forty-six schools with over s.
600 pupils. Those who come from
distance are housed in dormatories
which are furnished by the county.
Their food comes from the school
gardens and there the children were
boarded at the extremely low price
of Sc month, which covered the
cost of such food as was not provid-
ed in the gardens or diaries. In Min
nesota there are over 100 agricultur-
al high schools with probably 10, 900
pupils. 1t has been a great success
whenever tried. l believe that we
would furnish board for the pupils at
not more than 10 per cent higher
price than Mississippi"
Teach the Girls, Too
Most of the usual branches are
taught in the agricultural high
school, although the greater stress is
laid on the methods of planting and
growing crops and the school con-
ducts we'll laidout and planned ex-
perimental farm, where vegetables
and fruits Of all kinds are grown un-
der expert supervision. There is
usually a dairy in connection with
the school and the girls are taught
general domestic science, preserving
fruits, making jellies, making cheese
and butter and other work which
might properly come under that
head.
Mr.. Hall hopes through DR.. Nc
Brien to secure a part of the Smith
Lever fund which is an appropria
ton made by congress for encourage
ing agricultural education in the
United States.
DR.. McBrien has been in Miami
several times and is deeply interested
in the work being carried out by the
Dade county chools.-Miami Me-

GETTING TOGETHER.
Ellsworth Now Has But One Business
\ Mems OrRanization.

Ellsworth Now Has But One Business
Mems Organization.
The movement for the consolidation OF
the Ellsworth merchants association and
the board OF trade has met with success,
not in exact terms, but practically. The
members OF the merchants association, at
a meeting last Friday evening, voted to
dissolve that organization, while the board
OF trade, at q meeting Saturday evening,
changed its by-laws SO as to provide for an
annual meeting the first Monday in April,
when many OF the members OF the mer-
chants association will enroll as mem bers
of the board OF trade.
As matter OF fact, the membership Of
both organizations was composed largely
OF the same men, and the action taken
means merely q consolidation Of effort
under. the Older organization, il not q
formal consolidation Of two organizations.
Dues in either organization have not
been closely collected in the past few
years. 80 that there were comparatively
few members in ''good standing" under
the by.laws. An invitation is extended
now to all business and professional men
OF Ellsworth to enroll with the board Of
trade and inject new vigor into it.
The merchants association, in dissolv-
ing, voted to contribute the money in the
treasury. after ell bills are paid, to the
county agricultural agent, George N.
Worden, to further the good work he is
doing here. w. A. Alexander was ap-
pointed to close up the financial business
Of the association, and anyone having
bills against the association should present
them to him at once. There will probably
be something like 30 to turn over to Mr.
Worden.

ton: Do you want war?

the money lender, the bond broker,
the manufacturer of ammunition, nor
the exporter of foodstuffs. am ask
ing you-the worker, the creator and

of the world.
Do you want war? Do you want to
drench more human life in this death
dance of civilization? What have
you to gain? What have the workers
of the world to gain? Never mind
the country you were born in. Are
the workers your enemies?
Remember right here you are
working and living with men Of all
nations, the same who do the fight
ing in Europe. Here you call each
other brothers, you are organized in
the same unions in order that you
may live. If you happened to be in
Europe you will be fighting against
your brother. For whom? For your
self? No, for your enemies! You
would be fighting for the interest of

not gain, but only lose in war of

This is not revolution of the peo-
pie against their oppressers. of the
workers against their exploiters, of
slaves against masters, of poor

more power, more authority. 1t only
means more submission for you.

pairing for mass murder, repairing
