MEETING OF FEDERAL
RESERVE GOVERNORS

WASHINGTON, April Is .-tiover-
norS of the twelve Federal Reserve
banks ara meeting here to discuss
with the reserve board proposal
to adopt a standard clearing house
system which could be put into ef-
feet throughout the Unied States.
Out of the conference it is believed
there will develop system under
which checks may be cashed at par
in any section of the United States.
Another innovation scheduled for
consideration is abolition, as far as
members of the reserve system are
concerned, of the me-honored GUS
tom of country banks of making col
lection charges, varying from 10
cents to s. generally, for cashing
checks on out-of-town banks. The
custom has existed for more than
100 years, and inasmuch as con-
siderable portion of the country
banks revenues is derived from
these charges, attempts to abolish 1t
have been stoutly opposed in the
past

DO NOT FIRE THE RANGES

The wild lands are the farms of
posterity The man who deliberately
sets fire to the forests or prairies de-
stroys the legacy of his children.
Florida land needs the organic mat
ter that the decaying vegetable mat
ter on wild land affords.
S. S. Walker, associate chemist to
the University of Florida EXperi-
ment Station, cites three phases of
this wasteful practice for the con-
sideration of farmers. The first is
the destruction of organic matter
mentioned. The other two are the
destruction Of soil bacteria and the
deforestation of land. Millions of
little pine trees are killed by the
fires and the loss TO the soil through
the destruction of organisms which
render plant food available cannot
be estimated.
That range fires destroy cattle
ticks are usually dormant at the
time fires take place and, hence, are
hidden where they are not subjected
to the fire.

PLAY BALL

New York, April l3 These are
the magic words that interest Amer
leans more intensely today than the
latest escape of Pancho villa or the
last attack of the Germans against
the allies.
The baseball season formally op-
ened yesterday and the schedule
calls for l54 games, starting in
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and St. Louis. The Giants this year
begin their campaign away from the
Polo grounds, being down on the
schedule to pry off the baseball lid
in Philadelphia with the National
League champions. This. of course,
means that the McGrawites will un-
doubtedly have to face Alexander in
their opening game.
In the American League the
Washington team shows its prowess
in New York, while the BE, tonians
entertain the Philadelphians.
Baseball managers declare that
many improvements have been male
in the accommodation of visitors at

should be no cause for complaint on
this score

[U[[ PREVAILS OVER ENT|RE
VERDUN front; ATTACK ON
HILL 304 WAS PREVENTED
FLORIDA'S POPULATION HAS
INCREASED REMARKABLY
SINCE LAST CENSUS

Washington, April l3.-lt is
doubtful if there is a state in the
union which has increased it's popu-
lation faster or which shows
greater industrial development than
Florida, as revealed in a special
statement of the United States cen
sus bureau issued here today The
following abstract from the report
will show that little short of mar
velous is the record for Florida since
the 1910 census was taken. The
population for Florida at the census
of 1910 was 752,619, and it is esti
mated that it was $4,000 i'll July.
1914. The summary shows con-
siderable increase at the census of
1914, as compared with that for
1910. In the order of their impor-
tance from percentage standpoint,
! the increases of the several items
rank as follows: Capital 81 per
cent, materials 29.i per cent, num-
| ber of establishments 1876 per cent,
primary horse power III per cent,
| and value of products l.3 per cent.
The capital invested, as reported
in 1914, was SIS, 300, 900, a gain of
$23, zoos, 900, or 35.2 per cent over
$65,291, 900 in 1909. The average
capital fer establishment was ap-
proximately $35,O00 in 1914 and
$4,000 in 1909. In this connection
it should be stated that the inquiry
contained in the census schedule
calls for the total amount of capital
both owned and borrowed, invested
in the business, but excludes the val
ue Of rented property, plant or equip
ment which was employed in thu
conduct of manufacturing enterprise
in the final bulletins and reports
the rentals paid for such propert,
will be shown separately. Th
value added by manufacture repre-
sents the difference between the cos
of materials used and the value o
the products manufactured iron
them. The value added by manufac
ture was $47,296,00O in 1914 an
$46,762,OO0 in 1909, the increase be
ing $534,O0O, or IL per cent Th
value added by manufacture forme
1853 per cent of the total value o
products in 1914 and Gi.2 per cen
in 1909.
