Lest we forget, l again call your
special attention to the Importance
OF saving your seed this year for the
next planting season. 1t is doubly
necessary that you look very closely
after this part of your farm work,
for the simple reason that seed of all
kinds are going to be very scarce.
The British government, understand,
has contracted with all the great
seedmen of this country for their en-
tire output the coming fall, hence
their scarcity.
Do not procrastinate, but put in
every foot of tilable land that you
have in some kind of crop that you
can use at your own home.
Don't forget to save all Of your
breeding animals. They are going to
be scarce from now on. Every one
that you keep will be worth twice as
much one year from now as it is now.
This is the time to get busy. Ney-
er in the history of our country has
there been as good opportunities for
the farmer who raises food crops for
the market. Prices are good and are
going higher every day, and it is up
to you Mr.. Farmer to raise it.
Our recent campaign las undOubt-
edly proved a success far beyond our
expectations, and I am proud to be
able to state as a result of this cana
paign my work is doubling-up on me
every day.
With the co-oreration of such men
as Col. Jas. R. Murphy, whose inter-
est is at heart for his neighbor, such
as was shown by his untiring efforts
in the recent campaign for MORE
FOOD GROWN" in Putnam county,
paves the way for Putnam county to
lead in the development Of her agri-
culture resources and to set pace
unparclelled in the history of the
Stote.
Oh, that we had more Murphys!

Saturday for the north to be away
Che principle part of the summer. Mr..
carpenter drove in his touring car to
Jiacksonville, from which place he will
ship it to New York by Clyde Line
steamer, and during the summer he
expects to take very pleasant trip
with very agreeable companion.
Mr.. W. W. Youthers, expert on ci-
Crus insect pests, spent a couple davs
IN the place last week and made an
inspection of local groves. Mr..
louthers doesn't think that white flv
and other pests will be troublesome
TINS season and tells the growers they
can cut out their spraying expense
to large extent
Moving pictures are to be shown at
V. |. A. hall on Saturday evenings
only until further notice. This
change has become necessary because
OF the very small audiences during
the past three weeks, when receipts
have been insufficient to pay ex
penseS. The committee in charge
finds it necessary to still further re-
duce expenses by using the phono-.
graph instead Of piano music.
Messrs. Glynn, Tillinghast, E. H.
Williams and Gowen motored to De-
Land last Saturday, in company with
Mr.. W. w. Youthers, citrus insect ex-
pert of the department of agriculture,
and where thew looked over the groves
in and about that place. The opin-
ion of these gentlemen is that the
groves about DeT.and were injured
more by the February freeze than
the groves at this place.
Commencement exercises at the
Crescent City High School will be
held Friday evening, May 18th, at

A heavy hail storm prevailed on
The hill and about Lake Stella and a
little to the north Of the town last
Wednesday, doing much damage. The
hail storm at $3.50 on Wednesday af-
ternoon was so heavy that hail lay
frozen in a mass in SHADY spots on
the ground rs late as 9 o'clock next
morning. Plants were cut to shreds,
as was corn and vegetable Of the gar
den. James Coward'S loss is esti-
mated at $500. Messrs. Stockton and
Hunter were among the heavy losers.
"Buddie" Clayton killed a huge rat
tie snake a mile or two south of town
last Sunday morning, He brought
his snakeship into town so all could
get a good look at it. This snake
measured #. and 10 inches in length
and had II rattles and button. Not
as long as one would suppose for its
age, but what it lacked in length it
made up in rotundity. Mr.. Clayton
caught the snake alive by throwing
moose over its head and dragging
it along the road, but the moose tight
ened and by the time he arrived IN
town his snakeship was dead.

HOW THE EASTERN CITIES
ARE PREPARING FOR THE WAR

these bonds, paying cash for same,
and selling them to their employees
on such basis that hardly any could
refuse buying a certain number. Be
sides this, they told each and every
one of their men that ut any time that
they needed any money that they
could turn in their bonds for cash.
This protected the employe so that
he could buy his bonds and get his
money back at any time. This did
away with the idea that most people
had that after buying their bonds
that they would have TO wait until
these became due before they could
get their money. In Cleveland alone
the manufacturing concerns purchased
eight million dollars worth of bonds
would guess that the eastern factor.
les alone bought five hundred million
dollars worth of bonds and sold them
TO their employees on this plan The
western cities of course have not the
large manufacturing concerns like tn,
east to look to for this help.
The reports from, the different court
houses east of Chicago, show that
fewer men are claiming exemption
than the coast cities. | do not know
whether this is due to our western
men really having more dependents
on them for support or not do
know, however, that the young men
in the east are far more enthusiast ,
about going TO the front than those |
have talked to since coming west. I
believe all the people in the United
States are looking at the seriousness
of what this war really means to them
in different point of view than they
did month or two ago.
