E. p. LEE, Manager

CHOW really Mr.. Lee" said The Lady In The Moon, "our.
laundry in The Moon you should see,
It's truly very tpunk,'-just a lot of old junk, much worse.
than a tChink's' you'd agree:
When I planned to come here, my Old Man he did roar,
and really now0honest,-he swore,
Til he thought of your laundry and the nice work you
And then he did smile and sayetOh well, it's all right
if my. laundry you'll take down to Lee,
For this dirty old joint that we have up here in The
Moon, the death of me yet will be-
So here is his bundle, Shirts Collars and Socks, and here's
some of my Dresses also,
Some Waists and some Nightgowns and Napkins and
Towels, indeed there's a real bunch, don't you know 2
Now do them up nice, but I know you'll do that, for I've
heard that your work is all fine,
And when they are done send them up there to us, by
The Moonbeam Express, that's the line;
And Rough Dry Laundry you do. At Special Prices l.
see, now all of my work I'll send down,
I never could understand why a woman should wash, with.
such a laundry as this in her town."
So it all is arranged and we are doing their work, now
why not do yours as well?
If there's any good reason, let us know in good season,
all your laundry troubles to us do tell.

CONSUMPTION CRISIS HAS
BEEN PASSED IN ENGLAND.

London, Dec. 31.-An audience
which Premier Asqulth had with the
king gave rise to reports Of actual
cabinet designations. 1t is stated, how
ever, on high authority that this was
not the case, and that Premier As
quith saw the king with reference to
the general situation and the New
Years honors.
The draft committee of the cabinet,
which Is said to include Sir John 81
mon, engaged in preparing the propos
ed bill, is reported to have rejected
two or three drafts already, but now
has virtually settled on the method
which will be used to make the Der

duration of the war. The men who
have not attested will be ordered to
enroll themselves within a given pc
riod Of a fortnight or three weeks.
Confident Of Passage.
The government is confident Of it's
ability to pass the bill through all the
stages in a fortnight, that is, several
days before parliament would die a
natural death, but for the bill pro-
longing its life. The bill still has to
run the gauntlet OF its final stages,
and obstructive tactics may be adopt
ed with regard to the compulsory re-
measure, but 1t would still be
possible for the ministers to resort to
a general election as an exit from
difficult situation.
This, however, is not certain. In
fact, the feeling in political quarters

DISTRICT MEETINGS
OF COUNTY AGENTS

The University Of Florida Extension
Division will begin the group meet
irgs for the demonstration agents
some time in February. There will
be five or six Of these, in which four
or five agents from neighborlng coun-
ties will meet for consultation and in
vestigaHon. Two days are usually re-
quired for these meetings. During the
first day they visit representative
farms and tame notes. The following
day they make reports Of the work in
their counties. compare notes among
themselves concerning demonstration
work. discuss plans, consult, and offer
criticisms of the conditions observed
the previous day.
These meetings are beneficial to the
agents in that they offer opportunity
to see what other agents are doing,
and to observe conditions in other
counties. The meetings are open to
farmers and while they are not gem
orally distributed over the state as
the institutes are, farmers should at
tend them when they are held I'm

VERY MODEST INDEED.

The Germans, who are mod est ard
not much given to aggression, have
shown, or permitted some ne else
to show, that they are still very mod
est indeed. The statement that they
are willing to consider peace on GER
tain terms, including the payment Of
four billion dollars minimum indem.
nifty, the restoration of all colonies
Seized, etc., shows .conclusiveiy that
there has Deen no loss of the German
variety Of modesty. While Of course
it is not to be believed for moment
that Germany expects the acceptance
of such terms, it is some indication
that she is willing to discuss peace.
The restoration of the colonies seized
could well be granted by the allies,
as well as an agreement for the sepa-
ration of Russia and Poland, the Ger
mans to withdraw from Belgium ami
France, all of which would result in
no material loss to either party, but
whatever of indemnity is paid should
be to those countries that have been
invaded and laid waste. While 1t is
true that Germany has not been beat
en, 1t is equally true that the Others
have not, so that the four billion dol
airs indemnity is likely to be with
ield for a time, Mt least. Fort Myers
