Democracy Making Strides.

The characterization of government
may seem like an old story. Ours, you
may say, has always been a govern
ment by the people. that we have al
ways insisted on liberty. equality and
democracy, But one whose eyes are
open must necessarily see that we have
moved tremendously in decade toward
a more popular control. Democracy is
coming into it's own all around the
world and America has certainly not
escaped its influence"
In speaking of the second problem,
Mr.. Bestor says: The second great
problem foreshadowed before the war,
which will be dominant at its close,
may be defined as the socialism OF
the state. The state is constantly
changing its activities. The socializa
ton of the modern state is matter of
which we are. increasingly conscious.
The old ideal was Individual liberty.
the new involves the progress Of all;
the old emphasis was upon rights. the
new on duties. men talked much about
individuals. now they talk OF society.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-01-06
Termination Of Society.

The third problem related to this
war" Mr.. Bestor declares. may be de-
fined in a more or less facetious way
as the feminiza ton of society. The
war is likely to develop something more
than a demand for the right to vote.
1t is to alter the whole relationship of
women to organized society
In touching on MISREPRESENTATION
Mr.. Bestor says: Finally. one of the
results of this war must be the real
Observation-Disclosures of the world and
the working out of institutions which
VIII make war impossible"

Local and Personal Mention
A FINE ANIMAL.

A big. fine male cali, of pure registered
stock is the latest addition 10 the Ocoee
Farm.
This animal weighed 81 pounds at its
birth and the marking proclaim it very
valuable animal
With such stock in Pold county. il will
be only qucsliun Of time until scrub stock
which now predominates will entirely dis
appeer. Good stock means greater pro-
duction of beef, butter and milk, and the
cost is no greater.
The Ocoee Farm is becoming an institu-
ton in Polk county whose educational
work should bear rich fruit in the years to
come. 1t is demonstrating that rich re-
turns will come from a soil intelligently and
diligently treated and this should have
good effect in making farm work some
thing more than mere drudgery.
Work on the farm is now in full blast
and preparations are being made to RAISE
the largest and most varied crop that has
yet been attempted
Manager R. L. Hill informs us that he
used smoke pots during the recent visits
of Jack Frost and, as result, Ocoee Farm
will produce some peaches.
The canning factory, it is expected, Will
put up several times the amount canned
last year and this means good market
for all the surplus fruit and vegetables
raised in this section.

considered of no importance by those who
had the matter in charge as we failed to
receive any information whatever.

Springs this morning to attend the Re-

pressing the hope that Quentin may

sighted and attacked, after which the
enemy planes returned to their base.
