WOMEN READY TO
TAKE MEMS PLACES

New York, March 23.-More than
$4,000 members of the Long Island
Council of Women's Clubs petitioned
the Merchants Association today to
provide them an opportunity to learn
to take the places of men workers if
the men are called to their colors
The Merchants Association was ask
ed to ascertain from it's members if
certain women could daily visit their
establishments and learn such work
as women could do, so that if the men
should be called out the women could
continue the work.

time loans at a 5 per cent rate Of
interest had better take the precau-
tion of raising all foodstuffs at home
this year, as this requirement will be
necessary in order to obtain a loan
from the Farm Loan Bank. Aside
from this, however, it is very impor-
tant that this year every farmer grow
his own foodstuffs. The world has
never known foodstuffs to sell for tho
record prices they are now bringing,
and the outlook so far for the year
1917 is very gloomy for the wheat
and oat crops. 1t is predicted that
corn next winter will be even higher
than it is now. Three-fourths of the
civilized world is already at war and
this country will soon be a partici-
pant. The whole world is consuming
foodstuffs and we are the only
country left to feed them. There
fore, prices will go higher and higher.

haps it will prohibit the cruel practic-
es that obtain in the securing of al
Egrettes! BY no means the least thing
to be considered in the conservation
of bird life is the absolute necessity
for these little creatures in Kidding
the fields of misunderstanding insects.
In certain sections where ruthless
killing of insectiverous birds has ia
ken place, the results have been moth
ing short of disastrous. France re-
ports that the destruction of such
birds has caused whole vineyards,
fields and gardens to be devoured by
caterpillars. A wholesale slaughter
of birds in one part of Texas so in

ers were in despair for their crops

Conservation is not the only palm
borne by the southernmost fedora
ton. Few other states have SO many
or such beautiful club houses as those
erected by the individual clubs of
Florida, which are so artistic and in
teresting that the art department OF
the federation keeps their pictures on
hand as a permanent part of its exhib-
it's. In section five, alone, thirty-six
clubs own their houses, and many
more are buying land or actually

are built in mission style, stressing
the lovely Spanish windows and long
low roofs between settings of tall
tropical palms.

a GOOD APPOINTMENT

The appointment Of Arthur r. VIII
liams as federal fuel administrator
for Florida VIII give perfect conf.
dence in all parts of the state in the
fuel administration so far as it applies
to this state, for Mr.. Williams is well
known over Florida, and all who
know him have absolute confidence in
him. He is man of tact and ability,
and, as for honesty, Floridians are
ready to trust him with their eyes
shut.
1t is important that these positions
that the war has created and that give
those who hold them great powers
that would not be entrusted to any
man In time of peace be filed by men
in whom the people have confidence
lin every respect. The willingness of
the public to submit to unusual re-
strictions is measured largely by the
confidence in the man who is expected
to see that the restrictions are enforc-
ed. The first requisite is not only alb
solute honesty, but absolute honesty
conceded by all. A stranger to the
people might be absolutely honest, but
the people would have to learn conf.
dence in him. Men clothed with un-
usual powers are apt to abuse them,
and the people would look for abuses
and suspect abuses il the well known
character of the man did not set that
question at rest. But absolute hon.
esty is not the only valuable quality.
A man should have good judgment
and tact, and he should be known to
possess these qualities. A well-mean-
Ing, tactless man might do q great
deal of harm in position of such
power as food or fuel administrator
a position to which the people are not
accustomed, and that would not be
thought Of except because of the ne
cessities of the war.
Mr. Williams will prove valuable
man. He will not have to win the
confidence Of the people of Florida.
He has done that already, and with
that question settled ne will find his
work much easier than it would prove
to one not so well and favorably
known Times-U Union.

BIC CONCERN
GETTING BIGGER

The Bridgeton Brick Company is
erecting a large steam drying house
for drying brick.
The capacity of the dryer is 40, 900
bricks, and great saving of time and
labor is effected by this; the bricks are
loaded on the cars which are used in
the yard and these are run directly into
the dryer; the cars are not required to
be unloaded; the drying is effected in
"a hours and the bricks, not being so
requently handled, come out smooth
and unscarred; they are run directly
into the burning kiln where they are
put up ready for being burned.
The capacity of these works is go, 900
bricks per day AID it does not take
many days to have whole kiln made
and ready for burning.
1t takes only about day and
night to dry half enough bricks to fill
kiln.
