it will induce the town people to
turn out i'm larger number than they
have on previous days.
The crowd did not assemble on the
grounds at an. early hour as a greai
fee the parade. which did not STAR

MARKETING. THE FARMERS
PROBLEM.

The disappointing experience OF the Mo-
limo sweet potato growers who were offer
ed only 4Oc bushel for their product local
1y, and had difficulty in finding profitable
market, while Chipley growers were get
ting S1.5O bushel for their potatoes, again
demonstrated the need for more efficient
marketing facilities in this section.
The state marketing commissioner att
thorized by the last Legislature will be of
valuable assistance to all growers OF the
state when the department is fully organ
ized for assisting in the marketing of local
crops.
In addition to supplying authentic in
formation to shippers regarding conditions
in the distributing centers, its purpose will
be TO establish contact between the farmer
and consumer, bringing about a direct
from-the-farm medium of exchange.
The plan as outlined provides that
any person in the state having agricultu-
raj products for sale may list them with
the commissioner, who will also compile a
list of consumer wants. Both lists will be
published in daily or weekly bulletins for
distribution among farmers and consum-
erS.
The bureau will serve only as medium
of information, and will be in no sense a
selling agency. 1t will be paid for out of
the revenue from the sale of fertilizer tags.
similar plan has been in operation for
some time in Louisiana, where it has met
with success.
Such a system would have been consid-
cred impractical few years ago, but the
farmer is rapidly learning that not in pr,
drcing, but in marketing, lies his greatest
problem. He is experimenting as indus
triously with selling plans as with seed and
fertilizer, and is profltlng in proportion to
his success in finding the best market.

A Tactful Speech.

When President Wilson sent Ad-
miral Sims over to be in charge of
this courtry's navy during the war
with Germany, he, at one stroke,
paid a delicate compliment to the
British and administered a rebuke to
the Germans. Eight years, or there
about, ago, the American fleet was on
visit to England, and Admiral Sims
was with the fleet. At banquet to
the officers of the fleet given by the
British officials, in London, Admiral
Sims was one of the speakers. In the
course of his remarks he said that if
Britain ever found herself in real
trouble there was not a man or an
officer of the United States navy
who would not. eagerly hasten to her
aid.
The next day the Administration
heard it through the German Govern
ment, which interpreted-and pretty
justly, we must admit now-the re-
mark to be an implied shot in the
direction of Germany, and "represen-
tations" were made to both Washing
TON and London asking explanations
CT Admiral Sims amazing indiscre-
ton"
Our reply was brief, disclaiming
any intended shot at the Kaiser and
his crew, but stating something to
the effect that if the shoe fitted it
might be worn.
Great Britain CURLY replied that
she was not responsible for the utter
2nees of her foreign guests on occa-
sicas of festivity and good fellowship,
and flatly declined the invitation to
ensure the American Admiral.
Sims then went through a period
in which the German and pro-German
element in this country did It's best
to wreck his career; but they failed.

Won iirpitz and the Kaiser, and he
is most acceptable to Britain because

Advantages claimed for such vessels are
that they cannot rust burn Or leak, and
the cost of maintenance and repairs is prac-
tically eliminated.
Success of the first vessel will result N

plants on both the Atlantic and Pacific
