LOUNGE AND THEATRE IN ONE

The main lounge which opens into the. solarium ordinarily is large, homelike sparlor and reading room fur nished with wicker and lounging chairs, big dvans, book shelves, writing desks and special recreation equipment, in- cludng two phonogra phs and a player piano. big brick fireplace and spe- cial curtaining and draperies as well as the tints of wall and woodwork rob the room of any institutional sugges- tion and give the honey feeling which was the aim of those who planned the club features. very few minutes work transforms the sun porch into q aised stage with drop curtain and dressing rooms and thus turns the suite into a large hall suitable for shows. concerts and movies.

TOP NOTCH PRICE
PAID FOR VALENCIAS

Mr.. w. H. Emery, who makes his
TWinter home at the Peschmann grove
at Winter Park and who is one of the
largest buyers of oranges in this sec
ticn, has received returns from car
bad of Valencias which sold for ST.
1850 or S766 per box. This is be-
lieyed to be one of the highest prices
YET reached this season for the gold
en- fruit, though oranges of this va.
yiety have sold for top notch prices
during the past month.
MIR. Emery as president of the Puri-
tan Fruit Company is farming exten-
sirely in this section, having mora
than rs acres under cabbages and POI
tatoes on the Apopka road west of Or
lando.
The company also has some of the
finest hogs in the county having I'm
ported them from the north. Mr.

parimenting in the stock business, but

company will take it up on a large

WE'RE FEEDING OURSELVES
(Dothan, Ala, Eagle)

A good deal of stuff is being writ
ten these days by northern papers,
warning the south that she must feed
herself or go hungry this year
That advice few years ago might
have been all right, the South as
whole, we know not Of but here in
Alabama we are feeding ourselves.
| A little boil weevil came along and
took our crop of cotton the first year
Of the war, it and storm together,
and since that time we have had plen-
ty to eat. We planted food crop
in 1915, and that came out very well.
and then in 1916, it did better, and
last year, it was a hum-dinger.
We shipped from this county, or
will by the time the season is closed,
something like thousand car loads
of hogs and cows, so say the buyers
Of these things, 1t that isn't feed
ing home folks and foreigners, we
don't know what it is. We have new
er been much of corn shipping
country but we are shipping corn
We are shipping vegetable oils, such
as cotton seed and peanut oil, in
great quantities: we are shipping and
manufacturing feed stuff. 1t is true,
we make but little wheat in Alabama,
but almost everything else to eat we
are producing it.
So the advice to the South about
feeding herself is wasted on this sec
ton of Alabama.
We expect to feed ourselves this
year help out little in the short
age in the War Zone or Europe, and
grow some cotton for that section of
the world that has to have it but
cannot grow it.
The Souths doing its bit.

A sound like the gathering thunder
A roar in the silent dark.
A flash, a rattle and silence.
Then out in the distance-Hark
Is it a whistle, or potent
That called us from sleep when it
blew?
Be quiet my heart, and listen
To a troop.train going through!
This is no royal deception,
This is no empty boast.
Laden and ready for action
They're pounding from coast to
coast.
The lines are clear for their passage,
We're routeing them over to you,
Ten millions ready o Kaiser!
Our troop-trains all go through.
An eager young face at each window
Watching the land slide BY
The land of their birth and loving,
The faith for which they'll die.
Strong and stern those faces,
But merry ardent, and truel
God grant them a safe returning,
But first speed the troop-trains
through!

THE DEAD OF THE TUSCANIA
(By Clinton Scotland Of The
Vigilantes)

On Scotia's shore below sharp slopes
of heather,
Below steep scaurs of brown.
In the blind bitter flaws of wintry
weather
Gently they laid them down;
Laid down our valiant lads for their
last resting,
They who had passed all pain,
They who were broken and beaten
with the breasting
OF the chill northern main.
Let us not think their yielded lives
were sterile,
Though young in years were they!
Undauntedly they faced the Huns
black peril
That smites and sinks away.
They faced it singing as in glad Ella
ton,
BY fearlessness inspired;
Above them, sleeping, in sad saluta-
ton,
Three ringing rounds were fired.
Three volleys -the commemorative
honor
The brave give to the brave;
The Nation mourns-all blessing be
upon herr
Der each beloved grave

The new liquor law went into ef-
feet Monday morning. The legis-
lature put the burden on the probate
judges to ascertain if the affidavit to
secure liquor permit is true. That
is a pretty big thing to put on the
probate Judge, and it seems that
the legislature might have been
more specific and named the quail
fications for the securing of permits.
A great many of the probate judges
of. the State have adopted the rule
of requiring a physicians certificate
before pranting the permit. 1t
is entirely in the discretion of the Of
ficer to ascertain in any manner he
sees fit whether the claims of those
wishing the permits, are true or not.
Under the amendment to the law,
the probate judge cannot charge a
fee for taking the affidavit, as he
was allowed to do before.
