CABBAGE ACREAGE
SHORT IN FLORIDA
New York Packer)

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept Pit is
estimated that the cabbage acreage
for the coming season will not be as
large as las, year. While the strictly
cabbage producing section will put in
about a normal acreage the crop
throughout the state will not be so ex-
tensively planted, and reports indicate
that it will be less than for years.
AS last season was not a very sue
cessful one to the Florida cabbage
grower. he is not eager to duplicate
she acreage this season.
Bowling Green, (DeSoto County,
IN reference to the acreage planted to
cabbage at this place. | don't think
that we will have more than ten acres
here, possibly not that much. Most
OF the farmers are planting strawber-
rles and we will have from so to 60
acres in berries with quite an acreage

better and drawer men than the sheriff
and his deputies. Dan Hardie had
been in the thick of everything, he de-
clared and Harry Morris had several
times taken his life in his hands and
walked right into what might well
have been sudden death.
Lawrence declared that once when
a rope became wrapped around the
propeller of the boat, in small river
where crocodiles were thick, Sheriff
Hardie stripped off his clothes and
dived down among the saurians. The
first attempt proved unavailing; and
he dived down again. There were
fully dozen large crocodiles within
a few feet of the boat, Cracker Bob
declared.
Part of the time Dan Hardie was
without shoes and had no shirt, the
former having been worn out by the
sharp rocks and the shirt torn to
shreds by thorns.

U. S. BEST AT BOMB THROWING.
Marine Corps officers Say Baseball
Makes Americans Superior

Americans are latently the best
bomb and grenade throwers in the
world and are capable of waging
wonderful trench warfare in case of
hostilities, say United States Marine
Corps officers in charge of recruit
training at Port Royal, s. G.
"The average American Youth early
learns to throw baseball with speed
and accuracy, and it is because of
that we as a nation are especially fit
ted to wage the modern war of the
trenches. Baseball is ENCOURAGED at
all our stations and the skill displayed
by marines-even unframed recruits
in the bomb and grenade throwing
practice is really remarkable" said
Drill Sergeant Moore.

CHANGING A MANS NAME

Two American courts have recent
lily upheld the right of man to
change his name, provided he did not
do it for the purpose of fraud or de-
|ception.
In Oklahoma a man named Mosier
changed his first name from Fred to
Jacob, without the formal sanction of
law, and the supreme court held that
,"there is nothing in the law prevent
ling a man from taking any other name
if he desires, nor is there any penalty
Tor punishment for so doing. The law
looks only to the identity of the indi-
vidual"
The circuit court of Missouri held
that Gin the absence of fraud or in
Jury to the rights of others a person
may change his name at pleasure"
In Georgia the law provides that
a person desiring to change his name
may petition the Judge of superior
court, setting forth full reasons for
the act. The Judge may consider the
petition at his pleasure, and by sign
ing an order, he can authorize the
change.
i OF course, men and women have
changed their names throughout all
history Abraham's was originally
Abram, and several of the apostles
had names different from those by
which they are known. With sover
eigns it has been the custom to adopt
new cognoments, and so it has been
with popes. Napoleon omitted the gu"
from Bonaparte, and upon his ascen-
dancy his brothers and sisters and
even his mother did likewise. Vol
taires real name was Arouet, but as
Voltaire he lived and died, and still
lives in the pantheon of fame. George
Eliot, England's most celebrated au-
,thoress, was in reality Mary Ann
Evans, and France also produced a
noted female writer who adopted
mannish nomenclature. That was
George Sand, who, inspired De Mus
}set; her name was Lucille Aurore Du-
pin. The Duke of Wellington-of,
, simply Wellington. as he is better
lknown-was Arthur Wellesley most OF
Mis- life. and until he went to West
) Point General Grants names were Hi
ram Ulysses instead of Ulysses Simp
son. Cleveland dropped his first
, name. Stephen, and our present presi
, dent has also discarded his baptis
NAL name of Thomas.
Changing ones name has always
been a matter Of personal preference
