REV. WEAR TO DELIVER
INTRODUCTORY SERMON
AT THE BAPTIST
CONVENTION

The Baptist Witness of this week
presents a double column cut of Rev.
Wallace Wear, and of him the editor
says the following:
We take pleasure in presenting to
the readers of the Florida Baptist
Witness. a picture of the popular
pastor of the First Baptist church OF
Lakeland, who is to deliver the in
|trcductory sermon of the convention
Ct Orlando next week. This we are
doing on our own motion, and have
been at NO small pains to secure this
cut. We also asked for a sketch of
the life of our genial friend, but
modesty prevented him from fur
nishing the desired information.
From such sources as are accessible,
we gather the following: Wallace
Wear was born in Alabama about
thirty years ago He was educated
at Howard College. and at the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary.
He was pastor of West End Baptist
church, Birmingham, for three years,
and pastor at the Baptist Tabernacle
of Louisville while taking the course
there. While at the Tabernacle
church he was called to Lakeland.
At each of these churches Bro. Wear
has had almost sensational success in
building up the churches where he
has labored. We learn from most
reliable sources that he is more pop
ular with his church now than at
any time previous since his coming.
He was ordained by the church
where his father was pastor for over
forty years. His wife is real pas
tors assistant, and co-operates with
him most successfully in his work
His home is the home of love and OF
good will. His personal address is
charming, his voice clear as chime
of bells. May his ministry continue
as long as that of his father. and as
successfully as 1t has ever BEEN

Tallahassee Loathe
To Give up the Trammells

Speaking of Tallahassee's fare
well to Gov. and Mrs. Trammell, the
Tallahassee Democrat says:
United States Senator-elect and
Mrs. Park Trammell were accorded
the fondest farewell ever given oc-
cupants of the executive mansion,
for Tallahassee regrets to give them
up although it rejoices with them in
their good fortune which awaits
them in Washington
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Trammell
are not native Tallahasseeans, the
good people Of this city feel that
they are. For eight years they have
resided among US and each year they
have grown closer to us. To give
them up is to Tallahassee like the
parting Of lifelong friends as they
had taken such active part in the
social. civic and religious life of the
city. 1t was this feeling among the
Tuesday night which
causd the line to pass slower than
the schedule. everybody hated to
Say good bye to the Trammells.

pleasing manner, and now the rela-
tionship between the Camp and Mr..
Dame is stronger than ever. The cane
in question is a handsome ebony
stick, with solid silver handle, bear

Isented to him by the Lodge, as a
tsmall token Of esteem for him.
Quite a large crowd was in at

NORREll MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

Morrell Memorial hospital enters
the New Year under most flattering
conditions and with the brightest fu-
ture possible. In her report, the Sup
erintendent, Miss Angland shows that
80 cases we're taken care of since the
opening of the Hospital on August
18th, and that all running expenses
have been paid from the income of the
institution. This is indeed gratifying,
as hospitals generally are operated at
an expense the first year.

Spend $50. 900 For Live Hogs.

Knoxville, Iowa, April 30.-The
largest consignment of hogs ever
brought to Knoxville from an out
side shipping point, probably the
most weighty and valuable bunch of
porkers ever purchased by one feed
ing firm at one time in this section
of the state, was taken from the c..
B. and Q. shipping yards in this city
to the Huffman Bros farm, south
east of town yesterday.
This gigantic purchase was made
in st. Joseph, NO., and consisted of
go animals of an average weight of
ESQ pounds each; worth $40 a head
"a total of $4,000 pounds of live
pork, worth $4,000.
During the last month the Huff
man Bros. shipped $4,000 worth of
hogs of their own fattening from
their Marion county hog ranch.

GET THAT EXTRA 10 BUSHELS.
Proper Soil Management Will Aid
Farmers to Do Full Share
Toward Increasing
Food Supply.

To Iowa farmers who are writing
many letters to the soils department
at Iowa State college to ask how they
may get an extra 10 or 20 bushel
yield per acre from this years crop,
Prof. w. H. Stevenson, head of the
department, offers these valuable
suggestions:
Use every bit of manure avail
able. Every acre of average Iowa
soil receiving s to 10 tons Of good
manure now will produce an increas-
ed yield of about 10 bushels of corn
or other crops il proportion. The
manure may be applied to land plow-
ed for Corn or potatoes or used as
a top dressing for wheat, clover, al
falfa, timothy or pasture. Morrow
er, the MANFRED land will produce
larger crops for many years thereaf-
ter. Now is the opportune time to
clean up every shed and feed lot and
put the manure on the land, where
it will surely increase crop yields.
Prepare a better seed bed than
commonly found in Iowa. Crop yields
can be largely increased if every
field is plowed, disced and narrowed
properly. Disc land before blowing

Iowa Lieutenant i'm London.

Lieut.. Commander j. V. Babcock,
son of DR.. and Mrs. A. Babcock of
New Hampton, has had an expert
ence with the horrors of war. Two
weeks ago the American line steam
er New York, struck a mine near
Liverpool, England, Lieutenant Bah
cock was on this steamer in COM
pany with Admiral Sims. The passen-
gers were taken aboard another ship,
but the two officers remained with
the crew and helped get the New
York into port. She was fixed up so
as to finish the trip under her own
steam. Admiral Sims, Lieutenant
Commander Babcock are in London,
where they are in conference with
the British admiralty concerning
the best means of combating the u
boat warfare and of co-ordinating
the British and United States navies.
Lieutenant Commander Babcock and
Admiral Sims, when they sailed, did
so secretly, going aboard the New
York at midnight SO as to escape OBJ
servation.
