We would like to endorse the Op-
timistic reports that are being sent
out to the effect that there is heavy
crop of citrus fruit this year. AS a
matter of fact, our information and
observation lead us to believe that
there is not much more than fifty
per cent. of an average crop. This
may not be bad thing for the
grower, who may get just as much
money as if he had more boxes; but
he should not turn loose his fruit on
such reports as we have seen pub
lished.

Knott voluntarily surrendered 173
votes in Madison county, because Of
the hullabaloo kicked up about
"tampering with the ballots
though, of course, thoughtful people
attach little credence to this charge,
and believe it would have fallen flat
like the similar change as regards
the Hamilton county ballots, which
it was attempted to bolster up with
perjured testimony. Now Mr.. Knott
intends to give to Mr.. Cats the en-
tire vote of Precinct 8, though it is
questionable if the latter is entitled
to it under strict construction of
the law. In other words, Knott is
giving Cats all that the latter
claims, and still has the nomination.

An article is going the rounds,
enumerating the many advantages
and attractions of Florida, and ends
up with the question, What, then,
is the matter with Florida?" We
would like to answer that there is
nothing the matter with Florida,
but we could not truthfully do so.
However we might say there is
nothing the matter with Florida that
is not in process of being cured or
corrected. The thing that is most
the matter with Florida, that has
stood most in the way of her ad-
vancement and development, is ig
norance. There is, unfortunately.
much of this yet remaining in Flor
ida, but it is being steadily driven
back into the remoter Businesses.
The States present percentage of il
literacy doubtless would show
great improvement on any previous
ly recorded status. Florida is liberal
with her schools, and with the pass
ing of the present adult generation
the educational status of her people
will compare favorably with that of
other States. It is unfortunately
true that among the adult popula-
ton, especially of the rural dis
tricts, considerable ignorance is to |
be found, and with it, naturally, its
hand-maidens, unprogressiveness, in
tolerance and prejudice. But the old
order is passing, and despite sporadic I
evidence Of the things mentioned,
their days are numbered in this
State, and it will not be long before
hesitation or evasion will not be nee
essary in answering the challenge,
What's the matter with Florida?"

All "us editors" have our financial
troubles. 1t has been shown that

There is a fair question that we
would ask Mr.. Catts-and it is this:
you have appealed to the courts to
establish your candidacy; now, will
you abide by the decision if it is un-
favorable to you, as you know your
opponent will?" An affirmative an
swer to this question would settle
the status of your good faith and
fairness.

Digger the Badger Wins
Peters Respect.
To see another person do
The thing that wakens fear in you
Is quite the svrest way / know
To start respect and make 1t grow.

1t always is that way. The funny
thing about it is that very often there
is no real cause for respect. That was
the case with Peter Rabbit and Digger
the Badger. In spite of all that had
happened to him. Peter couldn't stay
in the dear old Brfer Patch. and the
very next night after his escape from
the old house of Johnny Chuck he was
abroad again in search of new ad-
ventures. Little Mrs. Peter did her
best to make him stay at home, but
1t was no use. You see, there was so
much going on these busy spring days
and nights that Peter was dreadfully
afraid he would miss something. You
know how it is. with Peter. curiosity
seems to be forever driving him to
poke his Wabbly little nose into all
kinds of places where he has no bust
ness.
SO Peter started forth just after
jolly. round, red Mr.. Sun had gone to
bed behind the Purple Hills He had
promised little Mrs. Peter that this
time he would be very, very careful.
and he had promised himself that he
would try no more jokes on his neigh
bors, because he had found out that
Old Orchard, and this took him not far
from the old house of Johnny Chuck.
He had no intention of visiting it. 1t
made him squirm all over just to think
of all he had suffered while he was a
prisoner there. AS long as those hot
tempered YellowJackets had posses
sion of it he would be the last to
disturb them again. He glanced over
at the doorway as he hurried along,

Entertaining the Class.

Just about this time of year every
prospective graduate from school Is
j casting a bout in her mind for some
means of entertaining her classmates
sometimes her teachers The enter
tainment need, not be expensive; in
deed. good taste often makes 1t ad-
visable to avoid expense. An expen-
sive entertainment on the part of one
of the girls puts the other girls under
more or less obligation to do the same
thing. But the entertainment must
be planned to give real pleasure. to be
something that each of the girls will
+, remember as a pleasant part of grad
uation festivities.
picnic is often feasible. In a city
school picnic can be arranged II the
girl giving it is happily i'll command
of a couple of utomobileS-lt these
will hold all the girls in her class.
Hampers of good things can be slowed
in the cars, and the girls can all meet
at one place-to save time-and then
start away to the country for day in
the open. An older person should, of
course, go with them. and the lunch
provided should be ample and dainty.
A camp fire can be built for the max
ing of hot chocolate. the broiling of
chops fastened deftly on sticks and the
cooking of other delectable things to
eat
OF course a theater party is always
enjoyed by young girls. but this i'm
mediately necessitates the expenditure
of a good deal of money. If this is
the sort of entertainment chosen. be
sure that the play in question is one
that all the girls will enjoy. Let 1t
be. if possible. something the girls
have none of them seen.
A luncheon, too. is always worth
while. Let it be summary and dainty
with rose decorations. perhaps, and
Strawberries green peas. tomato salad
and other summer delicacies in the
menu.
Whatever the form of entertainment
chosen, there should be favorS of some
kind Small and inexpensive they
should be. but something which can be
kept as mementos. For girls of an
age to be graduating from school are
of an age to be sentimental. and some
little keepsake appeals to them.
If the class is large. an informal tea
can be made to include all its mem
bers: this, too, can be quite as delight
full as any of the other suggested en-
tertainmentS.

TODAY,S HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

Now come the balmy June days when
/ the lure of the delicate1y tinted cotton
! goods so attractively displayed in the
| shops cannot be denied and we buy the
pretty pinks. lavenders blues, greens
and yellows for our own morning dress
es and the children's play and after
noon frocks
| But the time comes when these
| things must he consigned to the laun-
| dry tubs. airJ men the awful thought
| their colors
| which We nave collected and found
helpful in times of need.
Salt is especially effective in set
| ting browns. blacks. reds and pinks. be-
ing used IN the proportion of two cups
| of salt to one gallon of water. For
| blues. use vinegar in the proportion of
half cup of vinegar to one gallon of
water. or alum in the proportion of
| one tablespoon of alum to one gallon
of water. For 1avenders. sugar of
| lead is more often used, one tablespoon
! of sugar of lead to one gallon of water
being the proportions. Sugar of lead
! is a poison and should be handled with
| great care: throw out the solution as
| soon as used. wash the hands carefully
and put the sugar of lead in safe
place.
The handling of stains on coIored
| goods is often difficult. Sometimes
| cold water and a good white soap will
! remove the spot. For stains from iron
| rust. mildew or ink, a chemical will be
! necessary to remove them, and chem
! ical will usually take out the color as
well as the stain. So we are confronted
| with the choice of a stain or IA white
| spot, and the only way out that we
| know is to be careful and avoid stains.
| Colored clothes should never be soak
| ed. They should never be sprinkIed
rolled for ironing and put in the basket
! with white clothes. for in spite of
| Setting the color may be a bit con-
| tagiouS.
Soap should never be rubbed directly
| on any colored piece. Make a solution
| of the proportion of one cake of pure
| white soap to two quarts of water.
| then to the warm (not ho) water in
| which the clothes are to be washed add
y, enough of the solution to make thick
suds. Never boil colored clothes. and, if
! possible, wash one piece at a time.
| In England, the home of chintZeS and
| cretonnes, bran water is used to the
| complete exclusion of soap. The pro-
! gallon of water; cook for twenty min
! utes and strain. Add half to the wash
! water and half to the rinse water.
| When bran water is used the claim is
| that all the original brilliancy of color
| is preserved. and in addition the pris-
| tine smart stiffness of the fabric, with
| none of the cracking quality which
| starch gives.
