PROGRESS OF WAR
SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE

Palm Beach was the first county
to report over-subscription of its
quota of War Saving Stamps in the
drive held last week, according to a
statement issued from the office of
the State Director today. The ex-
act figures from the Palm Beach
drive have not yet been received.
Information comes from number
of other counties indicating that
they have either reached their quo
ia or very close to 1t, and that they
will raise the amount assigned to
their county by January 1.
The reports received by the State
Director are very encouraging, and
caused him to raise his estimate of
the amount that Florida will absorb
in War Savings Stamps during the
year It is pointed out that the
amount was tremendous for the first
year of the campaign, which Is large
" educational in its nature, and, ev-
erything considered, the State Di-
rector is very much pleased with re-
suits thus far.
1t Is expected that the greatest
activity in the sale Of War Savings
Stamps will come during the last
three months of the year. October,
November and December.
During the Liberty Loan campaign
in October 1t is expected that great
stimulus will be lent to War Savings,
and at he close of the Liberty Loan
campaign renewed effort will be made
to put every county in the State
"over the stop"
Experience during the last year
has indicated that it will be neces
sary for Encouragement Of quotas
in the various counties next year
and this will probably be done. Ther
has been an inclination of population
to migrate to the principal seaport
towns weber there are ship.buildine
and other war activities, and in such
instances the increased population
will be assigned to such communities
Registration figures in Jacksonville
on September ~ indicated large in
nux of workmen to the metropolis
and the quota for Duval County will
undoubtedly be increased during mex
year.

THE SEASON OF FROST

The season of frost is now on in
the north, where in some sections
the interval between late frost in
the spring and early frost in the fall
is only eighty days. Serious damage
is already reported in some of TIE
states of the extreme North. In
Florida there is occasional frost as
early as December, says the State
Marketing Bureau.
The winter is the real garden sea-
son in Florida but something to eat
can be grown in every month, and
ours is the only STATEN the Union,
where over it's entire area raising
crops can be made continuous per-
Torrance.
September is the month when Flor
idians begin the fall vegetable plant
ing campaign. Now is the time TO
plant root-crops,-turnips, rutabagas,
onions, bests and carrots, and to set
out cabbage and caulifower plants.
Good seed is important. One way to
test many kinds Of seed is to put
them in water, those that sink to the
bottom are good and those that float
have little or no vitality.
Home owners and gardeners who
are in doubt about what do are in
vited to write to Prof. G. X. McQuar.
rie, University of Florida Extension
Service, Gainesville, and he will help
with worth while advice.
Florida will no doubt have an un-
usual number of visitors this winter
and they should have green things
from the garden, besides our own
people want to live we'll, and more
will have to be grown for war rea-
sons.
Winter pastures Of oats and rye
should be grown for live stock and
poultry. BY having different fields II
is possible to provide pasturage all
along, by pasturing one field while
the others are growing. Food is
scarce in the north and but limited
quantities can be sent this way be
cause of the railroad situation and
the scarcity and the price.

Women of Florida Planning
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive

Last week at the War College at
Tallahassee a remarkable program
was arranged by Mrs. w. s. Jennings,
State Chairman of the Woman's Lib
erty Loan Committee, and given most
impressively. Once more the wom-
en- of Florida are to be given the
privilege Of answering long, strong
cal to the colors, and the preliminary
plans for the Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign are now being announced.
At the Conference much was brought
out that will be of deep interest and
invaluable assistance to the workers.
Organized as they now are, and
have been through the time since
the first Liberty Bonds were sold,
the women are for the first time in
the history of the state organized for
the grave and glorious task Of help
ing the nation. Results Of the other
Liberty Bond sales have proved to
/. the women something Of what they
can do. They now feel their power,
and expect to sell at least one third
of each county's quota. This is their
call to arms, and they are rejoicing
that here is something definite, some
thing real that they may do.
The returns from forty-eight cOun-
ties of the state in the Third Liberty
Loan Campaign showed 2,629,7O0
BONDS SOLD.
This time there will be more, for
now every woman knows the need,
every woman feels the patriotic duty,
and nearly every woman has the
further great incentive of man OF
her "Over There. 1t Is every WON
ans supreme privilege to sell and to
Duy Liberty bOuuS
At the Conference many county
chairman were heard from, compari
sons were made and the best plans
of procedure talked over. They told
how they got help from other organ
izations, from the Boy Scouts ant
from school children And Mrs. Ed
gar Lewis, President Of the STATE
Federation of Women's Clubs, re
ported the fine work done by the or
ganized club women, who are tel
thousand strong.

, the State College for Women, mad

There is great necessity of know
ing how We must give our money, o

Cross or any other organization.
Justice w. H. Ellis also spoke o.
Enhancing the War, setting fort
the fact that it is the duty OF tn
people to buy Liberty Bonds an
Stamps from patriotic standpoint
regardless of any interest in thel
investment. True Americans nee
only see that heir beloved country
in danger, and money should be
secondary consideration.
The Women's State Liberty Loa
Committee will be ready to sell LII

A circular letter has been sent to all Liberty loan committees and banks in the twelfth federal district from Chair man Lynch at San Francisco saying to be brief, use the telephone or vele- graph only when a letter will not serve. The text of the letter reads:
 With view Of actively cooper ating in our national governments effort to practice the strictest pos slble economy in these times of extraordinary expenditure neces- necessary to successful conduct Of the war, you are particularly re- quested and urged to refrain from using the telegraph and telephone, when such expense is charged to the government Ghrough it's fiscal agent-the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, or through the Liberty loan general executive board), if your communications can just as well be sent by mail without impairing their effective ness.
 Telegrams should be brief and pointed, bear only one signature (Where practicable), and in all in stances contain words in prefer ence to numerals. Attention is als called to the fact that night rates are cheaper than day rates. Night service should therefore be used if conditions permit.
