CATS ASKED THAT
A NEGRO BE MADE
PROBATION OFFICER
Jacksonville Metropolis)

Members Of the Board of County
Commissioners are trying to recon
cile themselves to a due considera-
ton of Governor Cats letter asking
if it will be acceptable to the people
of Duval county for George P. Nc
Kinney to be appointed probation
officer for Duval county. Nothing
was in the Governors letter to indi-
cate the color of the new applicant,
who offered to work without pay.
None of the board members were ac-
ouainted with Mckinney, and his
name could not be found in the di-
rectory.
James C. Lanier, incumbent, had
no knowledge of McKinney's applica'
ton. and kind offer to work without
compensation. He had heard of 9th
ers wanting his job. but Mckinney
was a new one to add to his trou-
bles. Lanier was puzzled to under
stand how anyone could offer to be
a probation officer in Duval county
without pay. Then again he under
stood that the States chief execu-
tive had determined to reappoint
him, but the name of Mckinney
glared in Jim's visions of reappoint-
ment.
Imagine what happened when the
identity of the new applicant was
learned to be a negro. There were
gasps for breath. then smiles, then
a general outburst of hilarious laugh
ter.
The Governor put it up to the com
missioners. but they are wondering
who put this one over the Governor.

EXPECT BUMPER CROPS
IN NEBRASKA STATE
Owing to High Cost of Living is
Mostly Responsible for Increas-
ed Acreage.
CBy United Press.)

LINCOLN, April 5.-Nebraska's
crop acreage this year will be the
greatest in the states history.
Whether Nebraska's 1917 crop yield
will be the greatest in its history
will depend on weather conditions.
The high cost of living, with the
consequent high prices paid for farm
produce, is in part responsible for
the increased acreage.
Only normal wheat crop is ex-
pected. Farmers now say that the
wheat is not strong and will require
the most favorable conditions from
now on to make even a normal crop.
The corn acreage will be greater
than last year. Where wheat has
been winter-killed the farmers will
plow it up and plant the fields to
corn.
The high prices brought by garden
produce and by such staples as beans
etc, will mean increased acreage for
these also. Included in this list is
very likely to be the potato.
One of the effects of the high cost
OF living which will be seen in cities
and towns all over the state will be
increased gardens. In the larger cit
les and towns every vacant lof
stands good chance of being used
for a garden.
