haired girl to Joan Wentworth. at

human being under her uniform. II
he'd treat us half as nicely as he
treats some of his lady friends" she
added in suggestive tone that
changed into the accentuation of or
dinary speech under Joan's discourag-
ing look. 1--WE seen him driVisg them
around town nights in his auto, and
I've never seen the same one twice
! guess he takes it out on us when
they've been mean to him"
Joan did not answer her. She was
watching the head surgeon as he came
into the operating theater. At his
entrance the general buzz Of conver-
sation ceased as If the outpouring of
words had been cut off with knife
The students on the benches settled
themselves in their places and craned
their heads forward intently. The two
assistant surgeons, lvers and Mac
Pherson, assumed attitudes of con-
straint, for everybody was constrained
in Lancaster's presence. The orderly,
who had been peering thru the crack
thetic room, where the head nurse was
holding the patients wrist and watch
ing the face beneath the mask intent
ly, Strengthened himself and stood up
in military fashion. only the visiting
doctors seemed at their ease as they
advanced to shake hands with John
Lancaster.
They had come from several neigh
, boring cities, drawn by the news that
Lancaster was to perform his famous
operation OF arterial excision. which
was just then the subject of discussion
in the medical press. Plenty Of sur
Eeons had tried to remove a section
of one of the larger blood vessels, but
only Lancaster had succeeded in
bringing down the mortality to Is per
cent
Lancaster was something of a mys-
terry both to his colleagues and TO the
nursing staff. The Lancaster fund
supported the Southern hospital. and
John Lancaster was firmly established
at the head of the institution. The
board of guardians, which existed ac-
cording TO the terms laid down in his
fathers will, had apparently only an
advisory capacity and 1t was supple
and plastic in Lancaster's hands. And
John Lancaster was more feared and
admired than any doctor In the coun-
Try.
Feared by most for his tyranny ad-
mired by very few on account of his
extraordinary skill he seemed to have
dual personality. The man whose
fast life was the scandal Of the con-

servative little southern seaport who
was ostracized by the better families,
whose tnfrequent appearances In the
hospital were usually the occasion for
injustice, storms and dismissals,
changed in the operating thea.er into
a man whose gentleness and humility
and skill made him adored for the
tllne by all who came into contact
with him. But 1t was only rarely that
case occurred that required his at
tention.
On such occasions his manner was
in itself remarkable. He would slip
stealthily into his private room, dress
there, and emerge masked like a
mummy to perform his miracle almost
in silence, and afterward to make his
escape In way suggestive OF his
having performed some shameful
action.
SO much Joan Wentworth had
heard. Naturally she watched his en-
trance on this. her first day of surgical
work, with absorbed interest unshaken
by the arkhaired girls scandalous
revelations. But Lancaster came in
unmasked. and Joan could discern
nothing humble or secretive in the
self-satisfied face or the brisk manner
in which he greeted the visiting
surgeons.
He looked a man Of 7 or and 30,
and he bore his years heavily. The
eyes were lined and n little sunken;
the features, which Joan had seen only
few times during her Is months of
work at the hospital. exercised, as
they had always done, q rather re-
pellent effect upon the girl. The face
was eminently cruel and hard. Never
theless the man obviously dominated
the assembly.
| He dominated her. She was much
more afraid of some nervous lapse in
| Lancaster's presence than of seeing the
use of the knife. The kissing Of the
steam tank, the nervous movements of
the spectators upon the benches,
whose heads seemed to swing with a
uniform and rhythmical motion, the
deepening sense of constraint, acted
upon her with a sort OF hypnotic ef-
| feet not lessened by Lancaster's de-
csive manner.
! She pulled the tray of Instruments
out of the boiling water and set II
| down upon the table by the side OF
| the bichloride solution. Lancaster
who had been pulling on his rubber
gloves, came to her side, and plunged
both hands into the antiseptic fluid
There was a look of self-conscious
satisfaction upon his face, and Joan

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Retail grocers selling sugar or any

All dealers in Florida are held tc

the profits derived under normal COZ

The newspapers of Florida should
give this matter the greatest public

especially short staple cotton, under
boil weevn conditions, but it will re-
quire modern, up to the minute agr-i
cultural practices: Rotation of crops,
deep blowing, maintenance of humus,
the use of commercial fertilizers,
planting early to an early maturing
variety of cotton rapid and thorough
cultivation of the crop, destruction of
the punctured squares, an early har-
vest, and the complete destruction of
all crop residues at least two weeks
before frost.
To those who have had experience
with the cotton boil weevil, the out
look for the future growing of cotton
in Marion county, Florida, must show
a very gloomy aspect to say the least,
for the following reasons:
1st The growing of long staple cot
ton under boil weeyil conditions COM
plicates matters very materially be,
cause of the fact that probably the
most important and effective weapon
that the modern cotton farmer uses in
fighting the boil weevil which enables
him to grow profitable crop Of cot
ton in spite of the presence of this
insect pest, is to plant an early matur-
ing variety of cotton very early in the
season and gathering his crop by the
middle of August, thus enabling the
progressive farmer to destroy all crop
residues and thereby starve out the
most Of the weevils before frost. This,
of course, is out of the question in
Marion county unless we grow only
the short staple varieties of cotton.
All known varieties of long staple cot
ton are late maturing, that is at least
the important types grown, and re-
fuire long growing season. Early
maturing varieties of Sea Island cot
ton are not to be had toady. Our Ma
rion county farmers viii not want to
give up the growing OF the normally
more profitable Sea Island cotton and
would find it practically suicide to
plow under or burn their fields at a
time when the crop was only partly
made.
End. Conditions of climate and en-
vironment are decidedly more favora-
BILE for the rapid increase of the boil
weevil in Marion county, Florida, than
in cotton growing areas further north.
Whereas, in the central and northern
cotton growing belts but two and more
broods can be expected each season,
the very long humid summers of mid
die and south Florida, together with
the very mild winters, make it posi-.
bic for the boil weevil to show at
least four generations each season un-
dei these most favorable CONT. ems.
Our main salvation should be to
drop long staple cotton production in
Mraian county aud develop our +at
live stock possibilities.

COMMUNICATING THE FAIR MAN
AGEMENT
ocala, Fla. Mob. "a, 1917.

Ocala, Fla, Mob. "a, 1917.
To the Ocala Banner:
The Marion County Fair manage
ment has made wise selection in fea-
turing eradication of cattle fever ticks
on patriotic day at the fair, next
Tuesday, as the government has been
emphasizing that work os patriotic
duty to conserve foodstuff.
Marion county is conceded to be
one of the leading agricultural coun-
ties in the state, and also one of the
best live stock counties, but the work
of eradicating the ticks has not been
advanced as far here as in some OF
the neighboring counties, although
our progressive live stock men use
and advocate dipping watts for cattle to
free them from ticks.
1t is only few years ago that the
United States government conducted
some milk production experiments at
Anthony Farms, in this county, which
showed that cows having few cattle
fever ticks on them produced Is per
cent. less milk than similar quality
cows kept tick free, and the cows
which we're permitted to become heav-
lily infested with ticks fell of ~ per
cent in milk production.
At that time milk was not so high
priced as it is today and the profits
for keeping the cows free of ticks did
not total so high as it will now, the
price then being seven cents a quart,
which gave profit of 50 per day on
a herd of 20 tick-free cows over those
lightly infested with ticks, and $4.6s
per day on herd of 20 cows tick-free
over same number heavily infested
with ticks.
The government has again come to
Marion county for getting data, this
time on feeding results, which is be-
ing conducted on the farm of L. X.
Edwards at Irvine.
The opening feature of the fair this
year is to be the cattle dipping dem-
onstration at the fair grounds, and
after the cattle have been dipped DR.
e. M. Nighbert, inspector in charge
of tick eradication work in Florida,
will give short talk Our county
commissioners have made a small ap.
preparation for building public Dip
ping watts and there are about a dozen
privately owned watts in this county.
The government wants our cattle
owners to stop feeding cattle blood to
the ticks and produce more beef and
milk for our soldiers and our allies;
and at the some time make more mon.
ey ror themselves. A. A. c..
