there are few distilleries in the Unit

A GROUNDLESS FEAR.

New York policemen fear they are about
to be made ridiculous
A proposed order makes the wrist watch
part of their equipment and they pro-
testing vigorously. They say the wrist
watch is eliminate and will subject them
to humiliation and scorn.
If worn as a bracelet-an ornament-the
wrist watch may we'll be classed as dandi-
fed, dudish and SISSY but considered as
part of the kit of a man engaged in the
open, it is one of the most practical Of
modern conveniences.
Soldiers were among the first to adopt
the wrist watch, because of its utility
and no one thought it effeminate fad.
Thousands of men in Our army and navy
are wearing them because they have found
it the most practical way to carry time
pieces.
New York's protest is further proof that
the metropolis is, after all. Just big
country town, antagonistic to any innova-
ton not of its own creation. But after the
policemen have worn their wrist watches a
few days, they will no more discard them
than they would go back to the ''galluses'

WEST FLORIDA WILL TAKE FIRST
RANK

Florida has responded splendidly to the
nations call for an increased food supply,
according to the crop report just issued by
the department of agriculture.
This state will produce three million
bushels more corn than last year; half a
million bushels more of potatoes, and near
ly million and half bushls more sweet
potatoes with proportionate increases III

Increased production has been particu-
1arly heavy in West Florida, where Guilt
walton has been more extensive and yields
greater than ever before.
Our farmers are rapidly realizing the
possibilities of this section and it is safe
to predict that in another year West
FLORIDA will have taken foremost rank in
food production.
