The Most Effective Rebuttal.

One of the most gratifying results
of the recent elections was the strong
endorsement given Prohibition by the
voters in those dry states where the
dry law was under attack from the Ii
quor interests. Wherever the drys
were on the offensive the wet publici-
ty bureau deluged the votes with sto-
ries of the so-called baneful effects of
Prohibition in these dry states. Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Idaho, Colora-
do, West Virginia and practically al
of the Prohibition states were held up
as horrible example of how no-license
kills industry, fills jails and wrecks
homes.
This kind of argument was ineffec-
tive for four of the six wet states
voting ousted the saloon and the two
retained by the vets gave dry majori-
ties outside of the largest city in
each. But the best refutation of the
whole pack of libelous statements
was the stamp of approval put upon
the Prohibition law by the voters in
each of the dry states that was held
up to scorn by the wet interests.
Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Ari-
zona, Arkansas-every state that had
the opportunity-put the O. K. on the
Prohibition law and called it good.
1t is the best rebuttal of wet litera-
ture that has come to our notice

Farm Loans.

1t is doubtful whether the farmers
themselves realize the enormous effect
that the new rural credits system is
certain to have upon American pros
perity. At the very basis of this
prosperity is the crop. The chief rea-
son for lending the farmers money is
to enable them to produce better and
larger crops. Nevertheless, there
will be an additional benefit in Civ
ing nonproducers an opportunity to
invest their money in safe securities,
and there will be still further bene-
fit in the circulation and employment
of a vast amount of capital.
AS showing the immensity of the
financial understanding, it is indicated
that the applications for loans, al
ready made to the farm loan board,
run between s10O,OOO,OOO and $780,
100000. The amount of loans will
regulate the amount of bonds, since
the funds are to be supplied from this
source.
There could be no better time for
launching the new system. There are
vast reserves in all the banks. The
Federal reserve board recently warn
ed the national banks against in
vesting in unsecured British treasury
notes, and the entire amount of mon
ey withheld as result of this warn
ing might be invested in the farm
loan bonds with beneficial effect.
Conferences are being held with
bankers to determine what interest
the bonds, which are not taxable,
should pay. Since the maximum in
terest which the farmers are to paw
is to be 6 per cent, the interest
should not be less than per cent.
nor more than 5 per cent, this leav-
ing a fair margin for the operating
expenses. There are several
schemes for placing the bonds on the
market, one being by popular sub
5cription. The whole issue could be
disposed of easily in this manner. but
I there were any difficulty about it.
he banks, with their present great
'esources, could easily absorb the
whole issue.-The Washington Post.

Sky-PilOts Called To Florida.

Now hast arriven the time o'yeal
when evangelists harken to the "call'
to Florida. With the price of coal
soaring sky-wards and bread and meat
getting scarcer and scarcer, the mis-.
sionary field of sunny Florida seems
to be a-calling, and soon they will be
arriving in the Land of Sunshine to
battle with the wickedness of Florida
towns.
Just why they do not hear this
"call" in the summer time when Flor
ida folks are supposed to have more
time to listen to exhortations to be
good, may be left to the philosophers.
Perhaps among the crowds of pleas
ure seekers, whose "call" to Florida is
brazenly ascribed to nothing more
holy than Florida's sunshine and flow
ers and Fairgrounds, these savers-of-
men hope to find their work-and yet
these wintertime evangelists are al
most always "called" to communities
where tourists are not numerous.
AS we have said, it is a great
theme for a philosopher to mediate
upon. The occasional preacher, how
ever, who honestly affrms that he
comes to Florida in the winter time
to enjoy the delightful weather and
pleasant people, is the man who does
not run the risk of being classed, in
the minds of honest people, as a re-
ligious four-fusher" attempting to
play a confidence game" in holy
Metropolis.

Discovering a Star.

Long had he worshipped her at Q
distance, but his shyness prevented
him from proposing.
Then one evening for the sweet sake
of charity, theatrical performance
took place In which the charmer was
leading lady and more adorable than
ever. Afterward the shy admirer drew
near, his love made valiant by the
sight of her beauty.
"You are the star Of the evening"
he said as they stood alone in a cor
ner.
"You are the first to tell me so," said
the damsel, with a happy blush.
"Then," he retorted promptly, may
l claim my reward as an astronomer
The lady looked puzzled.
"What reward?" she asked.

the star | have discovered said the
young man, speaking boldly at last

The kina'a WAY.

1t was characteristic of the late King
Edward VII. that he never showed too
much or too little courtesy. but just
enough to maintain his reputation Of
being the most gracious gentleman Of
Europe. Some years ago, according to
the author of "The Peoples King" his
majesty visited Aberdeen and knighted
the lord provost. At the luncheon
which followed the king sat next to
Mrs Lyon. the wife of the lord pro-
vost, and noticed on the table the card
denoting her place.
II must alter this" the king said,
smiling on the lady.
With his pencil he effaced the word
Mrs. and In its place substituted Lady
and graciously handed the card to her
newly made ladyship.

Spray Now For San Jose Scale.

The San Jose scale is one of the
greatest enemies attacking the peach
in Florida. This insect and the root
knot organism are jointly response
BILE for the short life of many peach
trees, but the scale alone will kill a
tree in a short time. Although the
disease is not noticed in an orchard
during one season, it may, under IA
vorable circumstances, kill all of the
trees in that orchard the following
season.
Trees badly infested have grayish,
scruffy bark. The active scales win
ter in the small black stage. That is,
the covering over the scale is black.
These can be readily seen, but the
scales themselves are too small to be
noticed without the aid of a lens.
During the summer the insects attack
the twigs, fruits and branches. On
tender shoots their presence is indi-
Gated by reddening of the tissue,
but this must not be confused with
natural coloring.
According to j. R. Watson, ento-
mologist to the University of Florida
Experiment Station, the most efficient
methods of fighting the pest is to.
spray with lime-sulphur solution. Use
l part of the commercial solution to
9 parts of water. Spray the trees
thoroughly with this, but only when
they are dormant, leafless and not
growing. The solution is strong
enough to burn foliage.
The spraying should be done early
in January. The grower should
spray the orchard each year because
enough scales to ruin a whole Or
chard the following season may re-
main undetected by one not familiar
with them. The time during which
this strong spray can be applied is
short and the grower should not let
it pass. Some spraying can be done
in the summer but a much weaker
solution must be used. Mix the solu-
tion l part stock to 30 parts of water
This is not very effective and can oe
depended on only to hold the insects
in check until winter offers opportu-
nifty for thorough spraying which will
kill them.- State Agricultural News
Service.

Getting Acquainted.

The well-written sketch of the fam
lily connections and antecedents of
Governor-elect Cats, printed in The
Tribune Tuesday morning, made inter-
esting reading. We could not help
thinking, as we read it, that some of
these facts should have been given to
the people of the State during the
campaign-especially when Mr. Cats
opponents and enemies were charging
that he was nobody" that his fam
lily history was unknown and that he
had no claims upon the consideration
and suffrage of Floridians.
These charges could have been eff
fectively and impressively nullifed by
the knowledge that Mr.. Cats was
named for Gen. Albert Sidney john
ston, that his father was a Captain
in the Confederate Army, that his
mother was relative of John C. Cal
houn, that his father and the father
of the late Governor Bloxham, one of
Florida's most honored and esteemed
chief executives, were first cousins and
came together from the battlefelds of
Virginia, the one to settle in Alaba-
ma and the other in Florida and both
blessed with sons who were to be-
come Governors of sovereign State
that this man, described by his vim
dictive detractors as a "nondescript"
and political adventurer," holds de-
grees from three colleges and has ac-
quilted himself with honor in every
sphere of service to which he has been
called, that his family life is ideal and
his wife one of the most gifted and
lovable of women.
These facts about the next Cover
nor would have helped immeasurably
during his campaign, in refuting the
ISLANDERS against his name and char
acter, but Mr.. Cats was too modest
to use them himself and his advo-
Gates doubtless were not informed.
However they are now made public
and all Florida will be glad to know
that its Governorship is to go to one
in every way worthy of the honor
