BIRD SANCTUARY
AND GAME PRESERVE
A SPLENDID IDEA
Worthy of the Support of All
Florida Citizens
THE LAND rs AVAILABLE
Grant by State and Donation by
Mrs. Flagler - Federation of
Women's Clubs of Florida Ac-
tive in this Undertaking

The action of the Federation of
the Women S Clubs of Florida
looking toward the development
and maintenance of a State park
with a bird sanctuary and game
preserve is a splendid one, and
worthy of unqualified support of
Florida's generous citizens. The
land has been granted by the
State, and it is ideally situated,
being in the beautiful tropical re-
gion of Florida, and including
that tract known as Royal Palm
Hammock in Dade county which
abounds with beautiful tropical
vegetation. Through the, ganer-
osity of Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, a
tract of similar size, 960 acres,
has been donated for an endow-
ment, and this adjoins the park
reserve. The services of a care
taker are needed at once, and it
will be necessary to erect a resi-
dence for the caretaker and pro-
vide for, other expenses in getting
the proposition well started.
Through the ingenuity of some of
Florida's prominent club women,
the idea of raising a sum suffi-
cient for present needs through
gathering "a mile of dimes" has
been broached, and found instant
favor. Every club in the fedora
tion will take a certain number
of strips to fill, with silver pieces,
and each club desires to enlist the
aid and sympathy of its home
folks. This is a'project calling for
the help of all Florida people gen.
orally, and there is no question
but that it will prove most sue
cessful with Florida's energetic
and charming club women back
of it.-St. Augustine Record.

EX-GOV. GILCHRIST
AT PALM BEACH
Spends Several Days there While
on Campaign Trip Down
the East Coast

Albert w. Gilchrist, former
governor Of Florida who is now
in the midst of his campaign for
senatorial honors, arrived in the
city yesterday and is registered
at the Lake Park hotel. He spent
the greater portion of the day
yesterday calling upon his many
friends here who extended to him
the glad hand of welcome. Mr..
Gilchrist will remain here several
days.
The ex-governor is one of the
most notable characters in the
state and while serving as govern
or from 1909 to 1913 he made a
wonderful record which will
stand him in good stead in his
present campaign. He enjoyed
the distinction, during the last
two years he was in office of hold
ing the high office of Grand Mas
ter of the Masonic fraternity
double tribute to which but few
men in the entire south can lay
claim.
A Floridian by birth, General
Gilchrist is close to the hearts of
the people of his native. state and
his intimate knowledge of their
wants popularized his governor
ship. He never lost sight Of the
fact that he was a servant of the
people and during the four
years he was at Tallahassee he
was continually working for the
best interests of the state at large.

Station Can Tell Yod Who Has
Seeds or Stock

Do you want to buy seeds, or
pure bred livestock? Many farm
ers would like to have home
grown seed or pure-bred southern
livestock but do not know where
to obtain them. G. X. McQuarrie,
state agent for the University of
Florida Extension Division, asks
those who are in the market for
such produce to apply to the Ex-
pertinent Station, Gainesville. A
list of farmers who have seeds or
livestock for sale is kept.
1t is frequently impossible to
find velvet beans, Natal seed,
home grown potatoes, or other
seeds on the open market, while
farmers may have them on hand.
1t is desirable to obtain southern
pure-bred stock if it can be had.
The number of men who have
such stock for sale is increasing
and it is probable that those who
desire it can buy it close at hand.

Lettuce Drop Fungus Attacks
Peas and Beans

The University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station has received
specimens of beans and peas re-
Gently which were attacked by a
white mold. This is the same
fungus which causes stem rot of
cucumbers, and watermelons,
white foot rot of celery, and let
tuce drop, 1t rots all parts of
the peas and beans above ground.
Indications are that the disease is
beginning work also in lettuce
fields.
After a short peiord of devel-
opment the fungus produces
blackish irregular bodies, which
under favorable conditions pro-
duce small mushrooms. These
give rise to millions of minute
spores which are readily spread
to neighboring fields by the
slightest breeze. The only known
method of controlling the disease
is to watch the crop carefully and
destroy any affected plants to
prevent fruiting bodies.
Besides this it is necessary to
soak the ground where the dis
ease appears with good fungi
eide, such as ammonical solution
of copper carbonate, so that the
fungus will not spread by its veg
etative branches. Thousands of
dollars are lost annually from
this disease and growers cannot
afford to let it go unhindered.

Luning's Good Work

AS the result of the work of
State Treasurer j. G. Luning,
three officials of the defunct Flor
ida Life Insurance Company have
been indicted by the Grand Jury
in Jacksonville, on charges of
grand larceny and embezzlement,
and the president of the company
was also indicted for alleged per-
jury. 1t has taken time to secure
the evidence, but since the last
Legislature gave the State Treas
urer the necessary authority and
provided for the employment of
competent examiners and ac-
countants, the affairs of the COM
pany have been most thoroughly
investigated and the indictments
are the result of the evidence Sc
cured. The policyholders in this
company have not lost a dollar,
as through the able management
of the State Treasurer all have
been re-insured, and a large num-
Der of claims have been paid by
the company to which the policies
were transferred.
Through State Comptroller w.
V. Knott, the president and cash
Ter of the former Commercial
Bank of Jacksonville are now un-
der indictment on charges alleg-
ing embezzlement of the bank s
funds and now the president
treasurer and assistant treasurer
OF the Florida Life Insurance
Company have been indicted
through the mtiring efforts of the
State Treasurer.
A number of Florida "yellow
journals have for months been
charging State officials with neg
lect OF duty for not causing the
arrest and punishment of the off
clals OF these two defunct institu-
tons. The work has been pro-
crossing steadily, and no atten-
ton has been paid to the attempts
OF those responsible for the at
tacks on the State officials. The
evidence has been secured; the in
dlctments have been returned by
the grand jury, and it now re-
mains to be seen how the cases
will be handled in the Criminal
Court of Record in Duval county
and what the verdict of the petit
jury trying the cases will be-

SYSTEM OF SAVING
FOR Quotations
Plan that Has Much to Commend
it Now on Foot at the
State University

Hundreds of children are de-
prived of an education because
their parents cannot afford to
send them to college. The ex-
penditure of 5000 or $400 a year
at the time the child is ready to
go to school is too much for the
average family, A plan is on
foot at the University of Florida
whereby an education will be
made possible for the great mass
of children whose parents fall III
the foregoing class,
The plan proposes to start edu-
cational savings accounts in local
banks. Young parents may start
depositing when the child is a few
weeks or a year old. The money
is not to be paid out for anything
except educational purposes.
Compound interest will be paid
on the savings. A small payment
monthly during fifteen or twenty
years will provide the necessary
funds, Many parents could make
these payments without difficulty,
but would not be able to educate
their child otherwise. The money
will be paid in monthly install
ments when the child is ready to
attend college. or when he or she
is twenty years old. AS children
approach the productive age they
can contribute toward the fund
themselves.

FAIR FLORIDA
A PARADISE IN
A TRUE SENSE
So Made by Nature Has All Es-
sentials
SCENES OF GREAT BEAUTY
Is Place of Great Human Ap-
peal - In Winter, East Coast,
West Coast and Central Florida
Practically One Vast Resort.

There is a beautiful ancient
word which is so overused and so
darelessly used that its true mean
ling has been obscured. This
word is paradise, and it means
park, garden, lovely spot. King
| Cyrus built a paradise, and al
ways when the ancients- used this
word they referred to any natur-
al or artificial scene of great
beauty. Three things were essen
| tial to the paradise water, flow
ers and abundant scenery.
Florida has all these and more,
but even so it might fall short Of
being a paradise were it not for
the park-like arrangement, the
disposition of shore and palm, of
lake and hammock, and last, but
mot least-the social center of the
United States. There is by nature
"a symphony, one might almost
say a pattern in the way of Flori-
da as a park has been created 1t
| is therefore a place Of great hum
an appeal; and no paradise is a
paradise unless it has this quality.
The Alps, the Falls of Zambesi,
Pixies Peak, Niagara Falls, these
are wonders; in no sense para
discs. They do not say to you as
a paradise must say, "Come live
with me. ;"
Florida is a true park. 1t is a
vast park, green, brown, sky
arched, coral beached, alluring,
soothing, human park. And it
has not been cursed by the tamp-
ering hand of man in the effort to
make it appeal to the vulgar. So
far as man has built for his rec
reation, he has built there to COM
plete and round out the picture.
And one who has not beheld the
wondrous beauty of the sunsets
on the white walls of the Alcazar
or the Ponce de Leon, at st. Au-
gustine,, has missed one of the
most exquisite sights of nature.
Here one sees the architecture of
Spain at its resplendent best.
In the winter time, Florida is
practically one vast resort. There
are hundreds of fascinating plac-
es ON the east coast, on the west
coast and in the beautiful interior.

Every State Needs a Similar Law

Congress is at last beginning to
move in the matter of enacting a
law that will make a partial end
at least to the tyrannous reign of
needless technicalities in the pro-
cedure of the federal courts. The
bill which has been introduced is
designed to prohibit appeals on
technicalities which do not affect
the vital issues in the case and it
has been reported upon favorably
by the judiciary committee of the
House and is very likely to pass
that body. The Tarpon Springs
Leader has the following to say a.
bout it, which is well said, and
will be endorsed by a long-suffer-
ing people who for generations
past have found their courts SO
slow and ineffective in admins
tering justice:
"Report of such step by the
law makers of the nation is good
news to the laymen, who, ever
and anon, are bewildered and dis
mayed at justice because of the
endless and entangling legal pos
sibilities of the laws and the
courts. Out of the practice of the
rich man to resort to the last tech
nicality before accepting convic-
ton or defeat has arisen the COM
mon opinion that justice in the
court is only matter of dollars
and cents.
"Not only would such a law
curtail the numberless resorts
now possible in the courts, but it
inevitably would expedite decis-
ions and justice. AT present, if
the litigant has the money, he
may keep his case in the courts a
decade by resorting to one tech
nicality or another. By such
practices the courts have been
given a reputation for general
dilatoriness and delay.
In event Of the bill becoming
a law, every State in the Union
should adopt a similar measure to
apply to State courts. We be-
lieve that such a law would, to a
great extent, give to the courts
the dignity and respect, which
now they lack. that their import
ance should carry. Lakeland
