GERMANS TANNED BY FELLOWS

damage which they subsequently, did proves that one ought to have done.
 "The effect of Pan-German outbursts upon foreign public opinion was not considered at the time but they alone can account for the flood of hate to- wards Germany which showed itself at the beginning of the war and which found the German public comparatively unprepared. We could not understand it and we asked ourselves how it was possible. Now we have found out. From the writing of Baumgarlen and and other publications we have seen that not the good German people but the Pan Germans earned a bad name for Germans in the World. We are not so foolish as to look upon the enemy as angels. The consciousness of the innocence felt in Germany at the beginning of the war, though understandable, was not justified, for now we see that agitation on the part of Pan-Germans which they carried even beyond our frontiers created a false impression upon foreign opinion, an impression that the German people and their government were animated by plans for conquest and deeds of vio lence, and this opinion was encouraged by chauvinists in those countries abroad.

Hague, March ; Pan-Germans who "did what they could to make the wal inevitable" are denounced by the Frankfurter Zeituns and are warned that their hour of reckoning Is coming, in an article published in that news paper. The article is a reply to criti- cisn by the PanGerman writer, Herr Eigenbrodt, who accused the news- paper of entertaining an anti-lnilitarls spirit. Retorting to the critic, the Frankfurter Zeituug asked 'what has happened in this war?" and answered the question by saying:
 "The army which enlisted at the beginning of the war has failed by a long way in numbers. Masses of men have had to be added to it and tralned within a time far shorter than that which even we contemplated.
 The conception that England de- sired to seek a decision by arms in any circumstances was the basis of the Pan German policy. They cherished the  idea of the inminence of this world because they longed for it. In the first number of the Pan-German News, at that time tho chief organ of Pan-Ger- mans, these words were written, the hour we have longed for at last has struck; the holy war
 ''It is impossible to say that the war was desired abroad but it is not difficult to sec what one is straining every nerve to bring about. Anybody who did not go about with his eyes shut knew that Germany, except for a small group, did not wish for war, but what that small group, just these Pan-Ger- mans, could contribute towards making it inevitable, that they did.
 ''If we alone with others have any reproach to make to ourselves it is that we did not more carefully watch the the doipgs of such people. They were takers whom one thought nuisance but did not take as seriously as the

To HOLD CONGRESS
National ORGANIZATION To Hold Ses
sions in Jacksonville, December
8, q, and 6

The Farmers National Congress to
be held in Jacksonville, December 8,
4, 5 and 6, during the time the Flor
ida State Fair and Exposition will be
holding forth in the same city, will
bring to this State representative farm
ers, agricultural experts and educa-
tors from all sections of the United
States.
A Pioneer Agricultural Body.
The Farmers National Congress
was organized in 1881, to voice by res
olution the wishes of the farmers OF
the country on all matters vitally af-
fecting their interests. The Congress,
which meets annually, this year for
the first time in the Southeast, is COM
posed of delegates appointed by the
Governors Of the respective States or
designated by the State Board OF Ag-
riculture or vice president OF the
Congtess. They are agricultural lead
ers in their home States. When such
a body assemblies for discussion OF the
topics which most nearly concern them
and their vast agricultural interests
Il can be appreciated that such dis
cussions are Of pertinent value to all
farmers. Hence, Secretary and Cen

Educational, Industrial and
Agricultural Exposition

An educational, industrial and ag-
ricultural exposition is what the Flor
ida State Fair has been very properly
designated. The exhibits of this year
will prove the correctness of the clas-
sifications, one and all. Produce Of
the fields, fruits from the groves, cat
tie from the farms and ranches, poul-
try, results of boys endeavors as pig
raisers and as growers of corn, the in
dustries in which women excel, the
handiwork of the girls in the homes
and evidences of their skill in can
ming and preserving fruits and vegeta-
bles, all, and much more besides, will
be an exposition of Florida enterprise
that will be as astounding as 1t will be
interesting. Jacksonville, where the
Fair and exposition will be held, is
easy of access from every portion OF
the State as from the country at large.
And all roads will lead here from No
Fember 27 to December 6.

SOUTH AMERICAN
TRADE IS SOUGHT
IN FLORIDA FAIR

Secretary and Manager B. K. Hama
fourde, of the Florida State Fair AS
sociation. looking ahead to the very
probable trade relations which are to
be established, after the war, with
South and Central American countries,
has planned to hold the Pan-American
international Farm and Live Stock
Exposition in connection with the Flor
ida State Fair in Jacksonville from
November q to December 6 of this
year. Evidence of the wisdom of hold
ing this International Exposition here,
and to which President Wilson is to
invite delegates for the Latin Ameri-
can countries to the south of us, is al
ready making it's appearance.
Several days ago representatives of
a western plow and tractor manufac-
turing concern were in Jacksonville
looking for site on which to locate
branch of their manufacturing plant.
They stated that they felt confident
that Jacksonville was destined to be-
come an important port of import
and export at the conclusion of the
present war, and especially in connec-
ton with South and Central American
trade which his and other manufac-
turing concerns are going after vigor'
ously as soon as peace is established
Florida is confidently believed by far
seeing business men like Manager
of the Florida State Fair,
and the Western manufacturers to
have great future awaiting her in
the line of South and Central Amer
lean trade after the war. To bring
their representatives to the Fair this
year, in order that they may see and
know of Florida's vast and varied
products, agricultural and manufacture
ed, is considered as very wise busi-
ness move.

WOMEN TO HAVE
CONSPICUOUS PLACE
IN NFLORIDASTkTE FAIR

The women of Florida are signally
honored by the Florida State Fair and
Exposition management, but no more
80 than their work of every character
merits They have had set aside for
their exclusive use one great building,
Of the State Fair grounds, wherein
will be displayed whatever pertains
particularly to woman's achievements
in the realm of domestic economy and
science, her accomplishments in en-
broidery, knitting, crocheting, as well
the working of stencilled designed and
all the finer evidences of woman's skill.
The results of her work in canning,
preserving and, especially in the max
ing of wartime cakes and breads will
claim very interested attention. En-
tries in all these and other lines of
wOmen's endea&ors are encouraged by
the State Fair management through
the liberal awards of premiums, all of
which are set forth in the annual pre-
MUM list and catalogue which is now
available. In connection with the tex
tile exhibits there will be a sales de-
partment. This will afford an oppor-
tunity to those desiring to sell articles
on exhibition, or duplicates thereof for
which orders may be taken. No charge
will be made for this service, but en-
try cards must show the articles in
tended for sale, with the price of each
marked on the card.
Women Individually and as members
of organizations are taking very
great deal of interest in the Woman's
Department of the Florida State Fair
and are devoting very considerable
time and energy to seeing that the dis
plays in the Woman's Building shall
be in every manner worthy of this
great State which owes so much of
! it's development and growth to woman
| kind. The State Fair management has
| especially requested through the press,
and otherwise, that the women of Flor
ida shall make the very best possible
display this year, time in which they
have been so conspicuous in all win
the-war" work and movements which
the State Fair of this year wishes to
! be brought prominently before the peo-
ple. as evidences alike of their pa
triotism and of their ability to achieve
! things worth while.

FLORIDA STATE FAIR CATTLE
An Excellent Opportunity to Show
What Farm And Ranch Owners
Are Doing In Raising Of
Live Stock

Jacksonville. Cattlemen and hog
raisers of Florida are beginning to
take lively interest in the exhibits
which they propose to make at the
Florida State Fair and Exposition
which will be held here November 27
20 December 6, next Those of them
who attended the Florida State Fair
nd Exposition last spring recall that
while the exhibits of hogs by Florida
breeders was most excellent as to num-
bers as well as to quality the exhibits
of florida grown cattle was extreme
ly limited. The many fine animals
exhibited came mostly from without
the State and, of course, carried
away the prizes, rs they were justly
entitled to do. This year exhibits of
cattle from Florida farms ard ranches
promises to be very much more ex-
tensive and entirely creditable to the
state
Scattered throughout Florida are
many excellent cattle, many or all
entitled to be entered in the prize
competition classes of the coming
State Fair and Exposition and especial
Iy as this year there will be combined
with it the Pan-American Internation-
al Farm and Live Stock Exposition.
Then, too, the Farmers National Con
gress, with representative agricultur.
lists and cattle breeders present, as
delegates, from practically every state
Of the Union. What an opportunity to
show them and all other State Fair
visitors what Florida breeders and
ranchmen are doing in the cattle
business.

BOYS AND GIRLS SHOW
RESULTS OF CLUB WORK
Florida State Fair Gives Them En-
couragement In Liberal Prizes

The number of 115,745 boys and 73,-
306 girls in the South, out of 100000
boys and girls throughout the United
States, engaged in club work is a
splendid army of industrious, employ
ed youths and maidens who are tC
become the men and women of the
coming generation. These 115,745
boys of the Southland, enrolled in
the regular work of the clubs, pro-
duced products valued at $4,500,000
and the products produced and con
served by the 1896 girls of the
Southern states aggregated in value
$1,500,000, a grand total of six million
dollars from this one section of the
country. In the emergency club work
in the South those in charge of the
club work reached over 100000 boys
and approximately 100000 girls who
produced and conserved products
valued at more than $4,000000.
These figures are furnished by G.
L. Harrington, Florida State Club
Agent to the University of Florida,
and he says that the enrolment of
club members, especially of boys, is
increasing to an appreciable degree.
The statistics of this club member
ship and work have been compiled by
the United States Department of Ag-
ricElture, which supervises the club
activities in co operation with the
various state colleges and universi-
ties.
1t Is for the purpose of encourag-
ing and promoting this excellent club
work among the boys and girls of
Florida that the Florida State Fair
has offered liberal prizes at the forth
coming exhibition in Jacksonville
(Nov. 27 to Dec. 81 where the boys
ard girls work will be exhibited.

Must Use Machine Power
More

There is only one way of
producing enough food to sup
ply our own wants and feed
the hungry in Europe until
they are able to care for them
selves.
The men of America who
till the soil must use their
hands less and machine power
more, put gangs of iron fing-
cred laborers at work upon
farm tasks of every kind,
and multiply the farm labor
supply a hundred fold by con-
scription of that great army
of steel farm hands that
awaits the call to arms.
Our farm machinery show
is the machine power recruit
ing station of all this commun-
ity-the only place where
new types and models of farm
machinery can be compared,
and the new steel workmen
needed to increase our crop
yields can be found.

World Faces Live Stock
Famine
To Women And Children OF
America

The world faces a live
stock famine of such magni-
tude that you and l simply
cannot comprehend it.
Where are the hundreds of
millions in war-torn Europe
and Asia 70 get meat to eat
where are they to get
horses and cattle to till the
soil and help harvest the
crops?
The duty of America is
plain-we must all help plug
that gap by getting into the
live stock business more deep
ly ourselves.
That's why we are Offer
ing such big cash premiums
for the best stock exhibited
this year-it's merely our way
of getting every one more in
terested, in livestock raising.
For humanity's sake, let's
do something!
America Must Supply Food
Food-more foui-and still
more food-in ali history the
world never faced such need
for food
It. is vitally necessary for
America to do everything it
possibly can to increase the
International food supply.
Else millions more must
succumb to the relentless raw
ages of hunger in war-swept
Europe-and those who are
suffering the most are the wo-
men and children, the old
men, and the unfit, who have
not been able to play mans
part in the trenches.
Your Fair is pointing the
way to greater efficiency in
food raising and saving-and
with your aid we can do an
infinite good.
