country is filled with a floating
population-men who travel about
in side door Pullmans" and who
frequent the back kitchen doors
with demands or something to eat,
claiming the world owes them o
living. These men have had false

an ambition to do an honest day.
work.
School patrons should read the
annual notice of the financial con-
dition of your school district. as
published in your local paper this
week. If it is not published, it is
your duty to see that it is. The
law says that the school officers
shall cause such notice to be pub
lished and also provides a penalty
for such officers as do not do their
duty.

is had in the great demand on the

the first IF January has been engag'

University OF Florida. According to
OK. McQuarric, state agent, there
has never been such demands for
lecturers. Fairs and farmers meet

have been Called AZ Judges some for

Mr.. McQuarrcl says that there is
greater interest among farmers
than ever before. In some counties
whore a meeting attracted only a

crowd Of two hundred or more Is not
uncommon now.
Further evidence of the growing
demand for agricultural information
Is shown by the large amount Of ag-
