MISS AGNES HARRIS CHOSEN
PRES. OF STATE EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF FLORIDA.

The following article is taken
from the Florida record of Janu-
airy and will be of interest here
because Miss Agnes Harris is well
known in Marietta.
She is the daughter of Prof. ].
c. Harris who formerly taught
school here and who is now in
charge CT the Georgia School for the
deaf, at Cave Springs, and niece
of Hon. VIM. ]. Harris, President
of the Federal Trade Commission,
Washington, and has a host of
friends here.
Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, director
Of the department of home econom-
les in the Florida State College for
| Women at Tallahassee, and state
agent of home demonstration work
in Florida, headquarters at the
State College for women at ITALIA
hassee, was elected president of the
State Educational Association of
Florida in annual meeting last week
at Arcadia.
Miss Harris has probably been
more highly and more often honor
ed with positive testimonials of her
worth in the profession she has
chosen than any other woman in
the Southern States. No woman in
Florida is better known than Miss
Harris, and certainly none is &C
complishing more for her state. Few
men in Florida are known intimate
ly by so many people as Agnes Ellen
Harris.
During the past year especially
has she had honors thruts upon her.
She was on the program of the Ma
tiOnal Home Economics Association,
which met at Ithaca, n. Y, in June
last. She spoke there on Dem
onstratiOn and Home Economics
Work as carried on in Florida"
Also, in 1916, she was on the pro-
gram of the National Educa tional
Association, which convened at
New York City in July. And later
she was on the program of the Ma
tional meeting of All Field Work
ers in the United States Department
of agriculture and presidents and di-
rectors of all experiment stations,
which held sessions in Washington,
d. c. in NOvamher
Miss Harris is a true missionary,
and in the opinion of the Florida
Record she is more valuable to the
youth and future OF Florida than
any other one person in this State.
She is tireless worker, and her
heart is in it all She has a keen
sense of her responsibility, and so
industrious and energetic is she in
her service for humanity that her
friends have often feared she was
threatening her health in her eff
forts to live up to the high stand
ard Of efficiency that she sets for
herself and those who labor with
her. And withal, she is human;
with her business ability and execu-
tive gift she is at the same time
the possessor of all those feminine
qualities that men adore in woman
hood. A professional woman of the
business, political world, but strik-
ingly domestic in her nature is Miss
Harris, and most everybody loves
and admires her splendid qualities.
Tallahassee is especially proud of
Agnes Ellen Harris.

LETS HAVE A REAL ONE!

The Federal Trade Commission is
about to start an investigation OF
the rise in food prices. 1t will ask
the President to approve an appro-
priation of 100000 for that pur-
pose. 1t proposes to cover every
side of the food situation.
Good! Let us hope at last we
are going to have a real inyestiga-
ton. The country has confidence
in the Federal Trade Commission.
Now let's have the facts, Let's go
to the bottom-to the fundamen-
tals-and really learn all that can
be learned about the subject.
The problem is legal and econo-
mic. The question of whether there
are combinations in restraint of
trade must be decided. That has
heretofore attracted the main at
tention. Now it's time to go more
into the economic part-and go in
to it thoroughly. Are the people
being compelled to pay too much for
what they buy? Nobody can an
swer that until he can say with
reasonable approximation what it
costs to produce those things.
In some fields the trade commits
sion will find plenty of data. The
packers, for instance, can tell it
exactly what it costs them to turn
out their products. Government at
tention has encouraged accurate
cost accounting in their case. But
these fields are limited. In the
biggest fields of all the work will
have to be done from the ground
up. There isn't a farmer in Illinois
who knows what it costs him to
put his product on the market to-
day. There isn't one manufacturer
in ten who has an accurate idea of
what it costs him to run his bust
ness.
Let the trade commission start
literally from the ground up" Let
it start with the farmer and find
what production of everything, from
eggs to wheat and cattle, means in
terms of money and labor expendi-
ture. He doesn't know, and no
body else knows. Then let it fol-
low the product to consumption.
Many people assume high prices
don't start until they reach some
large organization. From the eco
nomic standpoint they are Just as
liable to start at, the beginning as
anywhere else. Prices cannot be
permanently below the cost of pro-
ductiOn under any circumstances.
The country is in the mood for
an investigation that will be long
and deep and thorough. 1t is tired
OF these continued flurries about
high prices that get nothing except
possibly politician into Congress
or some other job or into the news
papers. 1t has had it's fill of half
baked remedies that spring from at
tention to only one half of the great
problem. Let's have an investiga-
ton that will enable the country
to see it steadily and see it whole
1t would be cheap at 100000 or
$4,000, OOO.-Chicago Herald.

AN INSPIRING RECORD.

The American Red Cross is char
tered by Congress. 1t is the only
volunteer agency for relief commits
stoned by the Government in case
of war or overwhelming disaster.
The President of the United
States is President of the Society.
The Red Cross reports to Con-
gress; its accounts are audited by
the war department. all that it does
is open to public scrutiny.
Since 1905 the American Red
Cross has rendered valuable aid in
sc disasters. 1t has received and
expended more than 100000 in
money and relief supplies.
Thousands of families have been
helped and kept together; suffer-
ing has been relieved; and greater
misery prevented It's work also
includes preventive and educational
measures.
No other agency provides so prac-
teal an opportunity for helping
humanity in times of great crisis,
when the need is urgent. and the
measures for relief must be prompt
and adequate.

 REMEMBERED IN STATE CHURCHES

A
 Letters have been sent by the council of defense to mayors of cities, wardens of boroughs and first selectmen of towns throughout Con- necticut, enclosing a copy of the gov ernor's proclamation and suggesting celebration plans. All of the local officials are advised, if they have no plans under way, to communicate with the chairman of the county auxiliary committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, the suggestion being that smaller towns, where there may not be enough drafted men to justify a celebration, combine their exercises. =
 The council has written the county auxiliary committee chairman telling what has been done in arranging. for these various exercises and suggest ing in a general way plans for the exercises. The publicity committee of the council has offered to provide speakers, so far as possible, for these celebration whenever requested by the county chairmen.
 Although these celebrations will notice. the reports to the council of defense indicate that plans are going forward rapidly in many places and that practically all of Connecticut will turn out at any day or another in the near future to pay it's tribute to it's young men who are leaving for train ing camps to prepare for service lover There"

NAVY OFFICERS
 INVESTIGATING
 RUMOR SOURCE
Report of No More Recruit ing Affected Enlistments
 at Station.

United States naval officers today began a rigid investigation into the sources of a runner which has gained considerable ground in Bridgeport without foundation, to the effect that recruiting has ceased for the United States naval forces.
 So serious has the effect of this rumor become applications have fall en off at the recruiting station in charge of Chief Master-at-Arms J. F. Corbett, at 62 Cannon street, while the service is in great need of a num- Der of especially trained men.
 When seen today by g. reporter for The Farmer, Chief Master Corbett would not talk for publication as to his views upon the source of the ru- mors that have been so disastrous
 ''An I may be permitted to say is that have reported the situa- tion to my supertors for their. official inquiry" he said, but I cannot un- derstand how such a false rumor could have spread so widely, especial ly as the government has issued nc such statement or one which could be so misinterpreted."
 At this time the United States is 1T need of machinists, bakers, cooks musicians, mess attendants, appren- tice seamen and f1remen. All m.s. wishing to serve their country at this time will be examined at. 62 Cannon street.

 In disappearing a proposal by Rep resentative Shouse of Kansas that all men engaged in agricultural pursuits last March 1 be exempted from mili- tary service, President Wilson yester- day wrote the Congressman that a class exemption would lead to many difficulties and to many heartburn- ings.'' He added however, that he would like personally to see all the genuine farmers left at their indis- pensable labors." ::
 The President also called attention to Provost Marshal General Crowder's recent arrangement for calling men whereby most farm labor will not be
 drafted in service before Oct. 1, whom. it is believed most of the heavy farm work will be done.
 Representative Shouse responded the Presidents letter with the declar- ation that much of the Kansas wheat crop would not be in on Oct, and
 that the labor situation in that state was critical.
 The text of the Presidents letter follows:
 | My Dear MT. Shouse:
 'I have your letter of Aug. 25, and realize the very grave importance of l the matter you preached. I cannot
 see my way, however, to making so
 wide and sweeping a class, exemption as you suggest. The matter of leaving | the farmers on the farms has been l given the most careful and sympa- thetic attention by the War Depart :, ment, and I have before me letter Efrom the Secretary of War from
 which quote the following sen-. 1 tence: l "'GeneraI Crowder had foreseen the practical need of neabling men in agricultural work to remain st their | tasks until the close of the harvest. season, and has ingeniously arranged 1 the details of calling to the colors so 1 that the men on the farms will prac- | tically all fall within the last group l and will, therefore, not llave-to report l for military service until on or about Oct l.
 "I fell that class exemption would lead to many difficulties and to many | heartburnings much as I should per- I sonalIy like to see all the genuine farmers left at their indispensable 1 labors.

Wine of Year 154O
 Has Lost It's Taste,
 Experts Pronounce

Amsterdam, Netherlads, Sept. l. Rhine wine nearly four centuries old was submitted the other day to a crit icad test of a committee of oonnis- seurs at Speyer, Germany. In that ancient cathedral city there Is a wine museum" to which the King of [Ba- varia has donated some bottles, the contents of which date back to the time of the Reformation and. the Thirty Years War. The solemn bust- ness of tasting these venerable vim tages was carried out with due decor um. Some brands dating back to 1728, 1881 and 1540 were found to have lost all bouquet. The commit tee of experts afterwards proudly re- ported that they had tasted wines of five successive centuries at one ses- sion; an unprecedented feat, they say, Doctor Bassermann-Jefdon whe presided, mentioned as an interesting fact that the present method of bot ting wine is comparatively young, it dates back to the end of the eigh- teenth century.
