One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Day
ofAmerica in the War.


To the south especially is the world
making its hunger cry, and the south is
responding. Witness the huge increase in
thecorn geographically due to southern
acres. Numerous development enterprises,
too, have sprung up, and really great
movement has been started in the forma-
ton of the Southern .Cut-Over Pine Land
Association.
One of the principal endeavors will be
the rehabilitation of settlement by the
adoptionsof a high ethical concept with re-
spect to vending of land and the sincere
interest necessarily to be manifested in the
settlers welfare and his social require
ments." That is to say, no one will be
brought down here on false representa-
tons-the thing that has hurt this country
50 terribly in past years, and the settle
mcnts will be made pleasing with a view
to permanenCe.
1t is not enough to sell man an island
u land in a sea of stumps-he must have
nci&hbors, and he must have railroad,
water, roads and other facilities With such
vast areas to choose from, it will be no
trouble to select the ideal spots for de-
velopment, and bring them to the highest
Improvement possible, and West Florida
is particularly rich in suitable sites.
Another important purpose of the assO-
citation is the promotion of legislation for
equitable taxation. We have already drawn
attention to abuses in this directionEto
the taxing of improvements while adioin-
ing land, although increased in value, is
assessed at only a 1.-THE of its selling price
to the Over-taXation of the small owners
and the under-taxation of the large, and
further elaboration is not needed. A Just
scheme Of taxation is the principal need to
the land out of the hoarder's hands and put
it into production.
In dozen other ways as we'll the new
association will seek to develop Our mighty
resources and to bring people here to till
the fragrant acres. Deserts have been
made to bloom under less encouraging
circumstances-the SOUTHWEST Florida
can not fail to develop.

EXTRA MEAL BENEFITED
BELGIAN SCHOOL PUPILS
Greatest Accomplishment of Ameri-
can Relief Commission, Says
Chairman Hoover.

NEW YORK, January 22.-The giving
of an extra daily meal to 100000 Bel
gian school children was the greatest
accomplishment of the American COM
mission for relief in Belgium in the
opinion of it's chairman. Herbert c.
Hoover. who has just arrived here from
Liverpool. Mr.. Hoover today began
with his colleagues to devise relief
plans for another year.
The extra meal consists of only meat
hash and bread, the commissioner said,
but it has helped greatly to increase
the attendance at school. Many chill
dren previously had remained at home,
because their parents feared they
would go hungry if allowed to go to
school.
Mr.. Hoover said there are 100000
destitute persons in Belgium and 2.000.-
900 in France, and it will take approx
mately s150.000,000 to carry on the
work of the commission another year.
The situation is far worse than 1t has
been at any time since the war started"
he declared. 1T is a result of a steady
degeneration among the people"
Only negligible amount of business
is transacted in Belgium, Nh Hoover
said. All social and intellectual life is
at a standstill. the famous universities
are closed and the professors either
have scattered or sacrificed their lives
for their country.

MILK COMMISSION GIVES
RESULTS OF ITS INQUIRY
Gov. Harrington Makes Public Tri-
state Report on Questions Re
latiag to Food Problems.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January 22.-Gov.
Harrington has made public the find
ings of the tri-state milk commission,
which was appointed from Maryland.
Pennsylvania and Delaware with a
view to standardizing the production
and sale of milk. The food value of
milk is exhaustively discussed and the
report states that a quart of milk is
equal to eight eggs. With milk at 3
cents a quart and eggs at 40 cents
dozen ii is stated that the consumer
pays three and three-tenths times as
much for the same food value when
buying eggs as when buying milk.
With round steak at % cents a pound
the consumer is found to pay two and
three-tenths times as much.
The report shows that the cost of
production of a quart of milk now
ranges between and cents. where
formerly it was l to cents.
The commission recommends that all
milk distributors and plants in the
three states be subject to regulations,
with heavy penalties for violations;
that the basis of inspection be the gov
ernment score card and that inspec-
tions be made three times a year. DR..
Clyde l.. King of the University of
Pennsylvania is chairman of the COM
mission. Meetings We're held in Phila-
