BARREL FACTORY AND RICE

E. H. Coachman, one of our city's
progressive citizens, will establish a
barrel factory in his packing house on
the Tampa and Gulf Coast railroad
in this city. He expects the machin-
cry to arrive this week, and will have
the factory in operation next week.
Mr.. Coachman will employ ten Or
more men, and the plant will turn
out from $50 to 200 barrels a day.
Another forward move which will be
received gladly by people Of this COM
munity is the fact that Mr.. Coachman
will have rice mill in connection
with the barrel factory. This will be
ready for customers as soon as the
machinery is in place.
Now If some more of our progress
i've citizens will come forward and
start a marmalade or some other
much-needed factory, we can keep
the people busy and home products

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 The Proud Parent was taking his first-born out for an airing and was strutting down the street with the in- fant in his arms when he ran into the BashfuI Bachelor.
 "Whaddy va think of my baby?" said the Proud Parent Some whopper to be only three weeks old, eh?"
 The Bashful Bachelor looked at the little red face and the little bald head, and said:
 Does it talk?'
 'Talk!' exclaimed the Proud Parent. "No, of course not''
 "Er-ah, of course not" agreed the Bashful Bachelor. Docs it walk?"
 Walk" exclaimed the Proud Parent. ''Of course not" "Er-ah, of course not" stammereo the Bashful Bachleor, trying to get away. Have you named it?"

OLD SONGS MAKE GOOD

New York Correspondence, Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 "The Boys Are Coming Home," a poem
 reprinted in the newspapers. has re- called to N. c. Stewart the significance
 of this bit of writing in 1865. In that year MT. Stewart was music teacher,
 moving over circuit which touched a
 number of towns in western Pennsyl- vania and northern Ohio, such as Find lay, Tiffin and Norwalk, He and his musical associates had formed male
 quartet known as The Arions." which had the backing of David Ross Locke. who was then gaining fame under the i name of Petroleum V. Nasby." It was Locke who wrote the words of The
 Boys Are Coming Home. Prof. w. H. Jennings wrote the music, and the song had wide vogue in many parts of the country. That America today is feeling the emotions which came to her 5S years ago. when it was felt the "boys' could come home. is proved by the popularity
 of these expressive verses. which are being reprinted in many publications.

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS.

It is the easiest thing in the world to make yourself popular with the average man. All you need do is sit still and listen.
 A woman could make over an old hat so that her own husband wouldn't rec ognize it. But she can't fool another woman that easy. L
 All of the upholsterers are not men. A whole lot of them do business under the name of dressmakers.
 Another reason why men get married is because a parrot costs S15 and mar riage license costs only g.
 If fifty mirrors tell woman that she Is homely, and one man tells her that she is beautiful, she is certain that the mirrors are all liars.
 Men and women both get their rosy complexions out of bottle. But the men take theirs inwardly.
 They may have been both the same age when they married. But when Friend Husband is 39, Friend Wife will be 29.
 When a woman sues for divorce and her picture shows her hugging lap dog we always hope that she will win her suit.
 And the cost of living wasn't such a much in the old days when family thought more of paying debts than 1t did of Keeping up appearances. The reason why you know you would give so much to the poor if you were a millionaire is because if you had a mill Hon you wouldn't give the poor any more than you are giving now, 1 There are all sorts of people in the l world. including the fellow who wouldn't know what to do with himself if he ever got out of debt When fellow gets married he quits owing the florist and begins owing the grocer

This experiment in pre-war times shows the immense opportunity for economy in peace times. when we have spent billions for munitions.
 As important, however. as is the saw ing of money, the great thing at present Is the saving of labor, utilizing it. If the labor situation was a problem in war times it is easy to sec what it will be
 when many men in the Army are with drawn to re-enter the ordinary walks Of life.
 Now hold no brief for the Taylor sys- tenn. All that I wished to do was to point out the fact that we must begin to put our wits together and release our man power wisely and let them go back gradually in the great industries which are making nonessentials. But because the war is over there is still need of those who can devise method to save dupli- ca ation, and simplify the handling of their work or department. They will be en- gagged in scientific management even though it may not be the Taylor system.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

From the Chicago Herald and Exami-
 ner.
 In planning to provide returned sol- diers with farms, the government and various individual states will find a comparatively small number of candi- dates, unless some means is found to finance them. A raw farm without a other business is capital more essential than in the development of an agricul-
 tural or stockraising plant from the bare soil.
 Perhaps in Secretary Lanes yet un- disclosed programme there is provision for funding the recipients of government grants, presumably through government land banks. At present the land bank system has not been accepted or ex- tended generally throughout the United States. There still is market for lu per cent money in certain prosperous farming sections. Whatever aid is given will have to be generous.

 He will be lucky to get a first class span of mules for $6o0 and he must have grain to put into them if he is to get hard work out of them. In many cases he will have to pay freight on the feed. In work such as ditching and clearing he is likely to require help, for which
 he will have to pay, in cash, from $25o to s5 day.
 Investment in men willing to tackle the game would be safe and sane, but 1t would require a large amount of money.

Harding's Equipment for
 Treasury Portfolio

1 TN normal times a man of first-rate l ability is needed for the high of- flee of Secretary of the Treasury. In these abnormal times a statesman
 financier of experience in large af- fairs and exceptional capacity for
 constructive thinking is demanded. MT. McAdoo, whose resignation is
 to take effect as soon as the Presi- dent finds a successor, met all the re- quirements. He has proved to be one of the ablest Secretaries of the Treas ury that this country has ever had, and there have been many, notably John Sherman, in Hayes cabinet; Charles s. Fairchild, in Cleveland's first administration; John G. Carlisle, 1 in his second, and Leslie M. Shaw, in lRoosevelt's. It goes without saying that W. r. l c. Harding, at present governor of the federal reserve board, will be con- sidered for the treasury vacancy. He lis not only student of economies, but his equipment combines the practical and the theoretical. Ordinary business can be managed along ordinary book keeping lines, but government fl- nancing belongs to the realm of |science. Theory plays an important part, but the successful exchequer chief must also have strong grasp of the practical.
 MT. Harding enjoys national repu-
 tation of commanding influence. No
 appointment the President could make
 would be accepted as more fitting than
 would be the selection of the federal
 reserve governor. Few men, indeed,
 could measure up to him.

to us as those who are shedding their blood for us on the battlefield"
 To our indignant protest against -the deportation of women and young girls and when we showed that his tory might possibly bring reversal of fortune, there was no response.
 The keynote of this resolution is not vengeance, but justice. Even if there were a real basis for German whines, whose sincerity is open to doubt, the German people, or a ma jority of them, at any rate, forfeited their claim to sympathy by the way they supported their government in its atrocities, just as long as there was a hope of victory. They have even less reason than English or American women to feel kindly to- ward German women who uttered no protest at the crimes of their govern ment, their army and navy.
