The city police officials went look ing for game last evening about seven o'clock returning to headquarters with four game birds of the Genus Gambe- fer in their bag. The game was found in the jungle in the rear of the Yorkey establishment and was cap turcd without difficulty. All of which is one way of saying that the police continued the recently naugurated campaign of raids on gambling, their attention this time being devoted to the Yorl<ey establishment, where four men were found by Chief Haughey and Officer Neilly engaged in quiet little game. \ number of others were on hand but appeared to be spccta- tors and were not molested The quartet were released on putting up bonds in the sum of $25O; one hundred for the dealer and fifty for each of the others, as guarantees of appearance before Judge Grimm at ten thls morn

GROWTH OF NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING.

How strong the drift towards newspa-
per advertising is, figures printed by The
Advertising Age, OF Chicago wildly illus
trate Obviously complete compilation
OF the entire country would be practical
impossibility; nevertheless, reports from
10 dailies from every state and every re-
elon OF the United States show an increase
IN the volume of advertising in 1916 over
previous years and are indicative of the
whole
Obviously those cities where are located
munitions factories show the greatest re-
ults but throughout the country. there
seems to be a concert of business to exploit
wares Of every kind through the columns
OF the daily paper. In the south, the devel-
opment, if not quite as pronounced, has
been notable. The gain is made in both
local and foreign advertising
For a time magazines cut into the ma
tional advertising Of the newspapers, but
the sWingback has been steadily increas-
ing, because despite their huge circulation,
the magazines do not reach the public of
the local paper. Other lines of advertising,
too, are falling into disuse The paper, the
morning paper, with its appeal while you
are fresh and your mind most receptive of
suggestion, is-the surest purveyor of com
mercial news.

BLUE SMOKING LAWS.

Kansas proposed smoking law, failing
of passage, would find an honored resting
place in some museum, for it has all the
bumps, whorls, corrugosities, and surprises
of freak legislation of a high order
Smoking, by the passage of the Jewett
bill, would be barred in street cars, taxis,
omnibuses, public parks. When bachelors
wanted to take fragrant puff, they would
have to retire to specially designed room
of their clubs granting of course they be-
longed. Married men would have greater
liberties They could smoke at home.
Now if the law was framed to promote
welded bliss, it should stop there; but it
isn't and it doesn't. Married men may
smoke at home-if there are no children.
Each infraction of the law would be
penalized by SO to S25 fine, and provis-
ion is made for the punishment of any Gus
todian Of building, Waterman, or police
man who doesn't arrest the offender on
sight
The Tewett bill is now pending in the
legislature That is to say, it is on the
knees Of the gods; and far be it from our
profane pen to express an opinion as to the
outcome. But if it does pass, it might be
well TO put Kansas in the Smithsonian in
stitute

OUR WOOL PROBLEM.

Although the United States has thou
sands of acres of cheap grazing land avail
able, it has been producing only about a
third Of the wool it consumes Because of
the wholesale slaughter of sheep in the
countries at war, the world is facing wool
shortage.
To this problem in economics, there can
be but one answer: the United States must
produce more wool
Strangely enough our sheep have stead
lily decreased with the increase in the de-
mand. Where in 1900 over million farm
ers kept sheep, today only about half a
million are SO engaged. There are 13 .OOO,-
900 fewer sheep in the United States than
there were in 1910, and of the six hundred
million pounds of wool we consumed last
year, we raised only 228,0O0,O00. Yet Eng
land on land valued at $500 to $4,000 an
acre IS able to produce wool profitably.
There is room in the United States for a
hundred and fifty million more sheep
thirty million in the south alone, where
they would enrich the land as they have
built it up in England.
Both wool and mutton will be high for
years; and then they will probably go
higher. Sheep raising is one of our oppor
tunities in West Florida. In these coastal
regions it will yield hundred per cent re-
turn.

Nature Study.

The school garden teaches nature
study. It teaches it in easy stages
point by point. That is the only way
we learn anything. What we find
out by asking questions of the earth
the sun, the birds and the animals
in our own knowledge. No one can
shake our faith in knowledge gained
at first hand. It is ours. We bought
it and paid for it in the school of ex-
perience.
Nowadays too many boys and girls
go through school, just able to get a
passing mark by repeating parrot
fashion what is fresh in their minds
at examination time.
And because the ordinary school
curriculum is so crowded they go
on a hop, skip and a jump through
all their studies. Two months after
examination time if you ask them a
few pertinent, important questions
in order to find out how much they
really understood, you are liable to
discover that the 90 per cent mark
on examination will need to be pared
down to about so per cent to repre-
sent truthfully what they have mas
tered and understood.
At this point the school garden
comes in and fixes definitely by OBJ
servation and reason every statement
that is presented by book or orally
by the teacher.
And by inference, the nature study
methods are bound to influence every
other study in the school curriculum.
When the soundness of a theory has
been proven in certain direction,
the student will be pretty sure to
question every statement presented to
his mind. And when he does this a
sufficient number of years, his mind
will be stored with facts rather than

fancies. He will have sifted the
wheat from the chaff.
Healthful Exercise.
Healthful exercise may be develop
ed in school garden in such abund-
ant measures as to convert weak
ling into an athlete. 1t gives the
start at the right time of life to-
wards habits of deeper breathing. It
produces better nerves. And that is
the rock upon which many a life is
shattered in later years.
The time to get wholesome exercise
in the open air is during school years.
After that comes the pool playing in
sanity and the dancing mania, and
the cigarette smoking idiocy, each
one capable of it's share in destroy
ing usefulness and beauty in life.
AS a proof that farming is a
healthy occupation in spite of expos
ure and accidents, it was discovered
in Massachusetts in going through
the mortality records for So years,
that. farmers lived to the average
of 65, while the age reached by men
in all occupations was 81.
Saloon keepers and railroad en-
ployes died at 40. Restaurant keep
ers at Al. They probably ate their
own food. BARRIERS, druggists, mu-
sicians and dentists only lived to AZ.
Doctors attained the age of 55, only
three years beyond the general aver
age. Out door mechanics, like car
penters, bricklayers, stonemasons,
plasterers, etc, reached the age of
50, the same as the general average.
But the important point is, that the
farmer in Massachusetts with all the
danger of pneumonia, grippe, catarrh,
and consumption, liver Is years long
er than the general average, and %
years longer than some of the indoor
workers, and 80 years longer than
bookkeepers.

OUR ALIEN PROBLEM.

What to do with a certain foreign ele-
ment of our population, is problem that
will steadily become more pressing. Ex-
Ambassador Gerard said before the New
York Chamber of Commerce the other
day, that the question resolves itself into
interning alien enemies or allowing them
freedom to blow up bridges, etc. Regard

This should not mean, however, that
everybody who talks with German ac-
cent should be put in restraint, but only
those whose actions in the past have been
such as to warrant suspicion for the future !;
not even then until the secret service IS
convinced there is something in the wind
Regarding property, our government
has already announced that it will not in
terfere with the business of alien residents,
and this is we'll Conditions are not the
same here as abroad; our country is a weld
of foreigners, and personal liberty is rather
more of an ideal with as. Gerard, just
back from autocratic Germany, may be
pardoned if he has absorbed some of the
philosophy of that country; but unless
proved necessary for the nations welfare,
we would not like to see alien business Sc
questered.
A fact that should be borne in mind,
however, is that any pro-German work
now is active treachery.

PURCHASING POWER OF COTTON.

High prices of cotton will undoubtedly
encourage increased paintings this year;
whether or not there is danger of over
production, it would be mere croaking to
say. But it is the purchasing power Of a
commodity that counts, not its selling
price; and the purchasing power of cotton
has been low, despite the high price. as
shown inan Illuminating table prepared bv
Prof. ]. Lee Hewitt of the University of
Arkansas College of Agriculture. He es-
Inmates the purchasing power of a bale of
cotton in an average year and in the pres
ent year from actual figures as follows:
BALE OF COTTON WILL suY:
n Average Year: This vaar.
veS ~ a uc- 90 bu Of POTATOES

81 psnS snoes az ~ 20 pairs shoes al
~ yes cot1on c.on At eSSc 666 yds cotton
100 bu at soc. SO bu corn at 81 - 80
Thus cotton will be profitable only if
raised as a surplus crop. Your garden and
livestock must be the first consideration:
then even if the cotton fails, you are at
least assured of living.
