The Times-Union is urging that
flax be cultivated in Florida, say
ING that the soil of this state will
produce finer flax than that of any
other state. Flax is the material
from which linen is made and lin
seed oil is made from the seed.
These two products are so valua-
Bile that the growing of fax would
prove a very profitable industry.
Those who are interested in the
subject should write for full in
formation to the Department of

The Herald recently republish-
ed from the Literary Digest an ar
ticle which virtually charged that
the wool used by Red Cross knit
ters was wasted, that the soldiers
didn't wear sweaters or other gar
ments knitted by Red Cross work
ers and so on. Guy E. Snavely,
Director of the Southern Division
A. R. c., writes to the chairman of
the Marion county chapter, that
the article mentioned is only the
personal opinion of the writer and
that no attention should be paid
TO it, and that the national Red
Cross is working in full co-opera-
ton with the war department and
with full knowledge of the wool
supply and the wants of our sol
diers.

The pure food officials, in days
gone by, have "raised Cain" a
bout the shipment of green or
anges, but, so far as known, they
have not made the slightest effort
to keep "grass-green" canta-

half, if not more of the canta-
loupes placed on sale in South
Florida are villainously green and
never get fit to eat.

SAFETY FIRST BEST MOTTO
and Towns to Country--More
Care Must Be Used.

Motor accidents are becoming more
and more frequent. This could be but
expected on account of the increasing
number of cars in use. Our observa-
ton, however, as to the cause of such
accidents warrants the belief that fully
80 per cent are due to careless driving.
One would expect that the increased
number of cars In use and the in
creased familiarity of the public there
with would result in greater familiar
ity with and observance of road
rules and motor operation. There is
only one conclusion to be drawn and
that is because of the commences of
the motor cars, drivers and cars as well
as other users of the road are becom-
ing more and more careless.
The safety first" habit should be ex-
tended from the cities and Gowns to the
country. 1t is a good idea to have a
safety first tag carried on every
vehicle. This, so that people might
observe the motto often for having it
in their minds would have tendency
to reduce the chances they take. There
must be more care exercised in the
handling of all vehicles on the road,
else there will be laws so stringent as
to control the situation, and this will
result In trouble rs well as inconyen-
fence.

1t is a treat TO notorist driving
through strange country TO have
the road marked. Many main tray
eled roads are now well marked in
some way or another. The way in
which they are marked varies greatly
with the locality and the length of
the road.
The unique road sign shown in the
illustration was erected by the author
tiles of Buncombe county, on the ~
mile stretch of asphalt-Ilacadam road
between Asheville and Weaverville,
which is a section of the Southern Ma
tional highway from Washington to
San Diego, Cal, by request of the Ash
eville Motor club.
Most Marked Road.
The most talked-of marked road
ia the country is the Lincoln high
way. This road is marked through
out the Missouri valley by having
frequent telephone poles of fence
posts circled with a red, white and
blue band with an 81" stenciled on
it. 1t is probably the most consist

emily marked long road in the country
and many other roads are marked in
the same manner.
Other roads are marked by paint
ing stripes on few poles at the cor
ners to indicate whether the road
turns or goes straight ahead. This
system is also very practical and costs
less than the first one described.
Local territory about many of the
cities is quite well covered by sign
boards put out by the automobile
club of the town or by an enterprising
garageman, as the Omaha Automobile
club has marked most of the roads
ABOUND Omaha. They have not only
marked the through roads, but they
have marked the roads to the many,
small towns in the locality. Their
signs are small boards bearing the
name of the town the road leads to
and red arrow indicating the direc-
ton. The autoist who wants to get
from one of these towns to another
and does not know the territory, app
preciates the value of these signs.
