With the French Army in
France, May 14.-The Germans are
preparing most methodicaIly for
resumption Of their offensive. Signs
seem to show that they will attack
between LaBassee and the front
south Of Amiens, but il is also
probable they will execute Sec
ondary operations simultaneously
in Flanders, between Montdidier
and Noyon, and possibly on other
parts Of the front, in the hope Of
attracting the allied reserves away
from the center.
1t Is regarded as possible that these
lesser assaults will be delivered before
the principal attack. Whenever the
Germans decide to engage in battle,
however, they will find facing them

MARRIED LIFE.
Helen Persuades Warren to Go With
Her to Buy a New Fall Hat.

"Nov where do you want to go?
demanded Warren as they emerged
from the subway station, where they
had just met.
After much persuasion he had
promised to go with her this after
noon to help her select a hat.
Il thought we had better go to

very near here"
''All right come on then" with an
air of getting through disacreeable
task as soon as possible. "But I'm
not going to be dragged through more
than half a dozen shops l can tell
you that
mo, no, dear; we'll only go to a
few places. I'm sure we can find
something"
Although it was the middle of o.

afternoon. The avenue was crowded
with motors, carriages and we'll

As Warren walked beside her.
Helen was proudly conscious of his
tall, well-built figure and command

of distinction about him that made
him stand above everyone else.
At the entrance of As, Helen
paused to look at the elaborte dis
play of costumes and millinery The
whole window was trimmed in laven-
der. All the hats and gowns were of
violet and lavender in their various
sades.
"Come on" demanded Warren.
"You haven't any time to waste"
When they entered the millinery
department, they were met by con-
descending saleslady in a trailing
black gown with a towering head
dress of blond puffs.

to its size. "Just let me try 1T on
you"
ooh, I know 1 couldn't want any,

Again the saleslady swept away
to return with a tiny black velvet
hat the shape of skull cap, with a
big white plume curled over the back

compartment of livestock, in which
industry this state has promise of
leadership.
In proof of this. allow me to quote
F. S. Hastings, manager of the large
cattle range in Texas, who was here
on a visit to friends, and, after
tour of the state made an address
before the sixth annual convention
of the Florida Livestock Association,
held recently in Jacksonville, during
which he said: abraham of Biblical
times was a COW man and had his
problems of grass and water for his
herds. l am sorry that he did not
cast his lot in Florida, for / think
he would not have found any better
opportunities anywhere. / have found
a real demonstration of improved cat
tie breeding in Alachua and Marion
counties. which proves that Florida
is tdestined to become one of the
great cattle producing states of the
nation" Mr.. Hastings could have
found many good herds in many of
our counties had he taken time to
do so.
Regardless of the protracted cold
of this winter, may / not call your
attention to the fact that Florida has
been shipping citrus fruits and win
ter green vegetables right along, and
say that up to Saturday, February 3
1918, lettuce shipments alone for the
season amounted to 1864 cars, COM
pared to 1921 cars for the CORES
ponding season of 1916-17, falling
off of only AZ cars. If the tempera-
ture had gone 8 below, or even to
zero, there would have been no let
tuce or anything else of the train
and shiploads of garden and orchard
products that have ALREADY gone
north this season, and will continue
to 90.

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. lore
senting an article which was lately
published in a Colorado paper rela-
tive to Florida climate, Commissioner
of Agriculture. w. A. McRae, adj
dressed the following to the editor
of the paper in which the article re-
ferred. The article follows:
The Commissioner Letter.
Department of Agriculture.
Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. z, 1918.
Editor Post Denver Colo.
Dear Sir: A recent issue of your
paper contained a communication
signed by Francis Wayne stating
that Florida had experienced this
winter the coolest weather in fifty
years, and that the temperature at
Jacksonville had gone down to below
zero. The statement that the weather
was cold is true, and the same is true
of the whole country, but that it went
TO s degrees below zero is not true.
10 say that it never went below zero
in Florida would not be true-every
rule has its eXception-for on Feb
ruary Is, 1899, it did go in the ex-
IRENE north part of the state to
below. and blanket of snow eX-
tended well down into the peninsula,
and orange trees were killed. But we
can say that there are parts of Flor
ida where it never goes even to the
frost point, for the lowest ever known
at Key West was AZ degrees above
zero.
The 1899 cold wave in this state
was the most severe ever known to
the weather bureau. There was a
Observation-Disclosures cold wave in 1885.
but in the thirty three years exist
ence of the weather bureau the state
has had SIX waves with freezing
weather, and these occurred in Janu-
airy, 1886; December, 1894; Febru-
airy, 1895; February 1899, and then
eighteen years to February, 1917, and
January, 1918. These waves of short
duration came when there was ex-
IRENE cold in the north for example
on days when the temperature went
to 20 below zero at Denver, which
the weather bureau shows is the
lowest ever known in your city, while
105 degrees above is the record for
summer heat in your city-more heat
than is recorded except in Florida
and, of course, these extremes are
not considered as standard weather
in your state any more than is the
occasional cold wave the standard of
weather here
Much of Florida is peninsula,
with salt water on each side, and
winds from the Atlantic ocean and
Gulf of Mexico temper the heat of
summer and the cold of winter, and
give our state the most equable eli
mate of any in the Union. These cold
waves have been a blessing in that
they have been turning the attention
of our people from the cultivation
of tender vegetation-garden truck
and tropical fruits-to such staples
as corn and grain, with their ac-

proclamation:

Whereas, 1t has been brought to
my attention that there is a grave
danger threatening cotton production
in the south more destructive than
the boil weevil. The pink boil worm.
which originated in Africa, has prac-
tically stopped the production of cot
ton in Hawaii, covered about seven
counties in Texas, and is fast making
its way toward the Louisiana line
As this worm is new arrival in
this country, and comparatively lit
tie is known about it by the general
public, it is eminently necessary at
this time to hold a meeting of rep
resentatives from all states inter
ested for the purpose of obtaining a
better understanding of this serious
danger;
Therefore. /, Sidney J. Cats, Gov
eronr of Florida do hereby proclaim
to the people of Florida and call upon
them to take measures to protect our
state from this dreaded pest, and to
set aside February 18th, 1918, a day
for the delegates representing Flor
ida to meet with like representatives
from sister states, in the House of
Representatives, jackson, Miss. at
10 o'clock a. M, to consider taking
steps to prevent a further spread of
the pink boil worm into the cotton
producing section of our country.
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State of Florida to
be affixed at Tallahassee, the CAPT
tai, this the 9Th day of February,

hats of various sizes. =,
Before Helen could protest she
placed on her head a poke-bonnet
