WHAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT
OF GERMANY MEANS TO EVERY
AMERICAN.

Contributed by Virginia Terhune
Van de Water to the National Security
Leagues Campaign of Patriotism
Through Education.)
The victory of Germany would mean
the carrying into practice of Germa-
ny's slogan,-"ES IST VERBOTEN"
fIt is forbiddenD; the submission of
our wills to the will of Germany; the
sacrifice of all that we hold most dear
TO the dictates of despot. Even were
we to escape the horrors and outrages
that have been inflicted upon many
who have tried to resist Prussianism,
we could not escape virtual slavery.
The defeat of Germany means that
we will keep the right to live our own
lives in free land; the right to pos
sess ourselves; the right to serve God
and our fellow-man according to the
dictates of our consciences. AS these
are the rights for which our country
stands and for which our forefathers
died. it is time that all Americans APP
preciated that this righteous war is
OUR WAR; war to preserve our
existence as an independent nation.

In a part of the line where the enc
my's trenches were only some thirty
yards away there had been some sharp
fighting, and one of our men left bad
ly wounded midway between the lines,
moaning pitifully. To attempt to res
cue him would have been almost GER
tain death. The officer, taxing his
brain for a plan of rescue, caught
sight of a certain dog who was accus-
toned to run to and fro between the
British and German trenches, finding
friends in each.
He quickly wrote note: "Will you
allow us to bring our man in ?" tied it
round the dogs neck, and sent him
across to the German line. In a few
minutes the animal returned with the
reply: "Will give you five minutes"
Instantly the officer and couple of
his men took stretcher and were over
the top. They got their man into
safety in four minutes, and gave the
enemy a cheer, by way of thanks, be-
fore both sides returned to business

"THE SPIRIT OF TO-"

The famous painting which bears
this name has a history with which
comparatively few are familiar. A
hate issue of Everybody's gives a
sketch that cannot but be read with
interest, owing to the fact that the
Pfcsure has been made to live anew
and carry vital message by reason Of
the stirring times in which we are now
living. The description referred to is
2s follows:
Millions are familiar with that cele-
brated painting called The Spirit of
aT6.' Yet probably only a handful
reeiall of tho prosont generation
know who painted it, or anything
shout the story back of it. The Spirit
of 76'-the famous drum and fife trio
.s-cames from the brush and genius of
Archibald M. Willard, who is still liv-
ing, and has attained the age of 3d."

Believe what you say.

If you get chance to hold yarn for
a Red Cross knitter, do your bit, and
say to yourself, when your arms begin
to get tired; Il am helping on a pair
of socks, and these socks will keep a.
soldier warm and prevent him from
being ill or discouraged. When the
time comes for him to fight he will be
in better condition and more willing to
fight because he had these warm socks
to wear. He will climb over the top
of a trench and help to chase the Ger
mans back to where they belong.

Probably the children to whom we
are now talking are better posted re-
garding United States history than
are some of the people who talk
about it.
The children have got the Declare
ton of independence and the Enamel
patton Proclamation freshly in mind
and know what they were about and
why.
They know that this country is dead
set against slavery, either of the old
fashioned kind of chains and shackles,
or the modern sugar-coated German
variety.
They know that our boys now in the
training camps or on their way to
France are getting ready to fight
against the expressions of cruel des-
pot, just as some other American boys
once fought at Bunker Hill.
By the way, if you can find man
or woman who does not understand
how the rights of a democracy are to
be preserved when kings go on the
rampage, you might loan this ignorant
person your school history. Mark the

Party, the Liberty Bell, Lexington,
Valley Forge and Yorktown.

mention Of the pacifsts Of 1776!

Have you a government contract?
If you are in the manufacturing

which Uncle Sam is not buying
something with which to equip the
big army about to be called into SER

Most people have familiarized
themselves to a certain extent with
one feature Of conducting war,
the raising of an army itself but
have the most nebulous and made
Quate notion of those other features
which are of equal Importance
They have no idea of the cost of out
fitting an army before it is reaGy to
take the field. That is what Uncle
Sam is doing now He is spending
about $50. 100000 through his quar-
ltermaster's department to equip the

Exclusive of his rifle and ammuni-
tion.
1t is big shopping tour on which
the government is engaged. The fig
ures seem almost incredible, but they
serve to give some idea of the cost
not of war but of the maintaining

items. taken from the books of the

100000 pairs of cotton and

We all have heard much Of the
military side of preparing an army.
OF the other side we hear little. Yet
consider their magnitude! These
figures give Illuminating idea Of the
quartermaster task of war before

provisions of an army, and there the

EIGHT ANNUAL CITRUS
SEMINAR GAINESVILLE
AUG. 9-12, INCLUSIVE

The Eight Annual Citrus Seminar
will be held at the University of Flor
ida, Gainesville, on October 8 to -,
inclusive. An interesting and timely
program is being. arranged and sever
al new features will be included. The
freeze and the war have given rise
to many new problems in the citrus
grove, and a discussion of these will
make the meeting of great interest to
growers.
The Citrus Seminar is meeting
for citrus growers held annually at
the University. 1t consist of lectur.
ers, exhibits and demonstrations re-
lating to the growing of citrus fruits
Subjects relating to the identification
and control of diseases and pests.
Fertilizing and cultivation, and the
marketing of citrus fruits, are dis
cussed. The lectures and demonstra
tions are intended to present the
most advanced information on tn,
subject Of citrus culture.
1t is realized that here are SOM
who wish to receive elementary in
struction in the fundamentals of grow
ing citrus, such as the identification
of the different diseases and pests O
the citrus tree, soils, fertilizers, no,
the tree feeds, etc. To accommodate
! these growers, a class in citrus GU
tur to be known as the citrus semina
class will be formed and instructio
given during the week previous to tn
Citrus Seminar.
The work will consist of lecture
and laboratory work. The member

ida are working up to the advantages
they have in stock raising. Some
might suppose that because of the
climate sheep can not be raised. Such
is not the case. Sheep may be prof
itably raised in Florida; in fact there
was on July l, 1916 over 100000 head
of sheep on the farms and ranges Of
Florida. Florida producest he finest
oranges in the world, the 1916 crop
bringing in over $10,OO0,000.
ITO sum it all up, Florida has a
healthy, happy, prosperous popula-
ton; an insurable population, a large
percentage of whom are not yet in
sured. and this population is rapidly
increasing with white settlers, the
kind that makes business for the life
insurance man. Florida is a fertile
field for the life insurance man, and
the wide-awake, energetic agent real
ICES it. The business is here. The
live agent, with the right kind of a
contract can secure it. The securing
of it is dependent upon two factors"
The convention was made up OF
the prominent agents and home Office
men of the Southern States Life,
whose headquarters are in Atlanta.
Mr.. Leal also made a talk on the
questions in life insurance brought
to the front by the war in Europe.
Wilmer l.. Moore, president of the
company, paid high tribute to the
splendid work of the field forces.
There are % members of the conven-
tion with enough from the home Of
flee and other points to bring the
total up to more than fifty in atten-
dance.
The paper was given rousing
cheer. and Mr.. Luning has been re-
quested to allow it to be printed and
distributed among all the agents.
