TELLS PEOPLE TO
QUERY CANDIDATES
Wheeler Says No Vote should he
Given Man Who Does Not Trust
Intelligence and Patriotism.

/ Jacksonville April 40 -- Wayne
! b Wheeler general counsel OF the
Anti-Saloon League OF America, has
Just finished successful week n
speaking trip in Florida, filling en-
gagements at Jacksonville, Plant City,
Green Cove Springs and elsewhere.
I Mr.. Wheeler says the outlook for
state prohibition in Florida is good,
The sentiment over the state is mill
tant for the election of Legislature
that will submit Statewide prohibi-
tion to vote OF the people. and for
a congressional delegation that will
vote for the resolution to submit the
amendment for nation wide prohibit
ton
The time has come, Mr. Wheeler
f1nds. when legislators in State and
/, nation realize that they cannot hold
the confidence OF the people II they
deny them their inherent right TO
better their cond Itions by abolishing
the saloons when the people want
10 DO IT,
Mr. Wheeler urged the people Of
Florida to ask each candidate who
comes to them for votes to have as
much faith in them as he asks them
to have in him, and II the candidate
does not beheve that they. the pso-
pie. have enough horse sense and pa
lIiptieih U settie THIS question right,
then the voters should not trust tho
| candidate.
Let the people rule in State and ma
ton Is good Democratic doctrine.
Mr., Wheeler said. and the voters OF
Florida should and will insist that
their representatives In State and ma
tionsl Legislatures live up 10 that
doctrine.
Has Changed Front.
AT Plant City the candidate for the
Legislature voted against submission
for 1t and spoke from the platform
with Mr.. Wheeler. He said that a
member OF the Florida Legislature
has little influence II he lines up with
| the vets.
The account given by the Plant
City Courier OF the meeting held
there Is interesting:
Mr. Wheeler held the complete
attention of his audience for an hour
or more. driving home a wonderful
argument for and prophecy OF sue
cess OF national prohibition. Mr.
Wheeler mentioned no candidate by
name but urged the people OF Florida
10 vote for men for congressional po-
sitions who were known to favor the
submission OF national prohibition
amendment. Incidentally he compli-
mented the stand taken by Congress-
man s. M. Sparkman in voting for
this measure when 1t was before Con-
gress In 1914.
/ No Argument Left.
The speaker left the LIQUOR trafic
bereft OF single argument on which
TO stand. He was frequently inter-
rupted by cheers and many stated
that II was the most able presenta-
ton OF the subject ever heard here"

FARM WOODLOTS.

A permanent wood1ot is an essential
part OF a well-equipped farm, accord
ing to bulletin just issued by the for
est service branch of the federal de-
partment of agriculture. In heavily
wooded states especially farmers are
likely to overlook this fact and reck-
lessly cut, misuse, or clear up their
forest areas. It does not occur to
them that it may be advisable to al
low thrifty, immature timber to ma
ture rather than to remove it at
loss; and that 1t is often better to
practice intensive agriculture on areas
already cleared than to clear addition
al areas which are in growing timber.
The one direct economic reason for
the use of land as woodlot is that on
some areas timber is the most profit
able crop that can be grown. This,
of course, is especially true of poor
and rough land. Where all the land
is adaptable TO more valuable crops
the woodlot should occupy only a
small part of the farm area
There are a great many indirect
considerations, however, which justify
the maintenance of permanent
woodlot on the farm. The important
ones. number of which are usually
active in any particular case, are:
"a For convenience of home use for
fuel, posts, and other farm needs: ca
as windbreak for buildings or crops;
CD as a shelter for stock; ca for pro-
lection of land from erosion; (5) to
furnish work for men and teams dur
ing spare time; Co for purely esthetic
reasons and for recreation purposes.
for which reasons alone a farm with
a well-located grove of trees. however
small, will sell for more than one
without. Thus a wcodlot may at the
same time increase the general pros
perity of the farm, add to it's comfort
as home, and enhance its value as
an investment.
The reason farmers have not given
