YOUTH AT A DISADVANTAGE
Younger Men Are Ineffective in OBJ
tanning Credit as Well as In the
Control of Workmen.

Christian Girl, president of the
Standard Parts company of Cleveland.
O., says in the American Magazine:
when man of noticeably youthful
appearance goes to a cautious banker
seeking to finance even the soundest
kind of a proposition. his line Of argu-
ment is discounted before he says a
word, by his youthful looks. The
banker is afraid of being carried away
by mere toyish enthusiasm ard is on
his guard. If / were much under thir-
ty-five and had tiptop business
scheme to finance, would get an old
er man of established reliability and
conservatism to present it for me to
the bankers.
Youth is not always so good, either,
in the production end of a big bust
ness-handling a force of men and
getting the work out of them. In the
first place, the man who is bossing the
job should have occupied all the lesser
jobs between him and the bottom rung
of the ladder. This requires time.
And, furthermore, men do not like TO
work under Il boss who looks too much
like a mere hoy, no matter how smart
or capable or experienced he may be.
It isn't necessary that he be as old as
most of thenL but he should be old
enough to give an impression of ma
turity. The average workman doesn't
care much whether the boss is thirty
or forty, but it might make a differ
ence whether he is thirty or only
twenty

At recent meeting of the direc-
tors of the Munroe & Chambliss Ma
tionaI Bank, Mr.. Dewitt Griffin, for
two years teller of that solid and en-
terprising institution, was elected
cashier. Mr.. Griffin comes of a finan-
cial family. His father, Mr.. A. r.
Griffin of Anthony, was for years our
county treasurer, and his transactions
of public affairs could have been timed
with split-second watch. His broth
er, Mr.. j A. Griffin, going to Tampa
twenty years ago TO take minor
clerkship in one of the banks there,
is now recognized not only in the
state but by the federal government
as one of Florida's most reliable
fnanciers. Dewitt shows the training
gained from such associations. A
competent banker and clever gentle
man, his citizenship was welcome
addition to Ocala, and his friends
here, in Anthony and in Tampa will
rejoice in his promotion.

Painters Frenzy.

The painter-engraver Alexander Lu-
nois, excelled in Oriental scenes. He
had passed half his life In the hands
of the Musselman. His works were
full of light. full of color, full of move
ment During his last illness, at Par
is, where his elegant apartments
looked out upon the quay. he was on
his couch, burning up with fever
From time to time he threw a glance
upon a beautiful Van Dyck. The pic
ture was covered by glass. Sudden
~ in the reflections of glass of water
he imagined that he saw in the spark
ling light a dance of odaIisques, such
as in former days he had seen in Con-
stantinople He could not restrain
himself He leaped from his bed and,
all trembling, he seized his palette
his brushes, and frantically set at
work upon a marvellous sketch. His
wife found him, nude save for a slight
covering over his shoulders, his eyes
sunken. his teeth chattering, painting
with the fury of a mailman. She led
him back to his couch. He died few
days later, and the last picture of the
great artist remained unfinished

YIELDS apple OF soDoM"
Curious Plant Which Grows on the
Borders of the Dead Sea Pro-
duces This Fruit.

The Dead sea is situated in the
southeast part of Palestine, and is
called by the Arabs Bahr Loot, or Sea
of Lot. 1t is about Al miles long, with
an average breadth of nine miles. Its
depth varies considerably 1t is fed
by the Jordan from the north, and by
many other streams, but has no APP
parent outlet, its snperfluous water be-
ing supposed to be entirely carried on
by the evaporation. The north
shores of the sea are marked by the
blackened trunks and branches of
trees which are incrusted with salt. as
is everything that is exposed to the
spray of this sea.
On the southern shore is the remark
able mass of rock called Udsum (Sod-
om). 1t is narrow, rugged ridge of
hill extending five miles northwest,
and consisting of rock salt. To the
north of Udsum, and at no great dis
lance, is the supposed site of the an
cient Sodom.
On ffle borders of the Dead sea a
curious plant grows which yields fruit
called the apple of Sodom," beautiful
on the outside but bitter to the taste,
and, when mature, filed with fiber and
dust
The mean level of the Dead sea is
1892 feet below the level of the Medi-
terranean. The water contains from
"a to 26 per cent of salts, of which
per cent is common salt. A saltwater
fish put into the Dead sea perishes at
once. Owing to its density due to
salt the water of the sea is very buoy

The Columbia State, one of the
most staunch of democratic papers,
tells the following unpleasant truth
about American diplomacy:
"Our former ambassador at Berlin
says Rintelen came to him while he
was in Germany and asked for safe
conduct to America where he wished
to do charitable work Mr.. Gerard
refused it. and says he knew even
then the kind of work Rintelen wanted
to do in this country. It seems to us
that Mr.. Gerard, like many others, is
discovering every day things he knew
a long time ago. It is a pity that
much of this very valuable knowledge
was not allowed to reach those to
whom it would have been exceedingly
useful il received in time"

June IA, 1918.
My Dear Senator,
Many thanks for your letter of May
Both, with its enclosure of communi-
cation from DR.. C. ]. Huber of Web
ster, Florida, relative to the settling
of Belgian people in your state.
Nothing would give me greater
pleasure than to recommend to my
Government the State of Florida,
know as / do the great opportunities
which the South offers, and of what
a garden spot Florida is.
But it Is, at this time, against the
policy of the Belgian government to
encourage emigration, for all of our
people, men, women and children, will
be needed when our land is at last
free from the invader, to re-enter the
country and to reestablish their own
national life
Should this policy at any future
date, undergo a change, shall Ger.
tainly bear in mind the state of Flor
ida and shall recommend that the
government of Belgium avail itself of
the encouragement and aid so gener-
ously placed at the disposal of the
Belgian people by the people of
Florida.
| am returning to you the letter of
Mr.. G. j. Huber, and thank you in adj
vance for communicating to him this
information.
Very truly yours,
E. Gle Cartier,
Belgian Minister.
