Wool Wasted by Hand Knitters

The Literary Digest OF July 6
devotes considerable space to re-
producing an article by Samuel S.
dale of Brookline, Massachusetts,
| in which it is commended that TO-
100000 pounds of wool have been
wasted by being used in hand knit
articles for the soldiers.
Mr.. Dale quotes Major Boehm
| of the Canadian army as saying
| that he has never seen a soldier in
active service wearing a sweater,
and that no soldier would wear a
knit abdominal band because it
would become a nest for trench
vermin. Mr.. Dale also cites the
point that the government has
given notification that no more
yarn will be supplied to the Red
Cross as substantiating his con-
tention.
Mr.. Dale further cites that one
knftter in mill can in one minute
perform the work of $500 hand
knitters, and can turn out uni
form product of far better quality
continuously for hours.
The Literary Digest does not
undertake to say whether or not
Mr.. Dale is correct; and we GER
tainly shall not undertake to set
tie the question which these state
ments raise.
However, if it be true that all
the knitting the women of Ameri-
ca have been doing is loves labor
lost, and all this wool has been al
lowed to be wasted at a time of
acute wool shortage, some Of the
folks who urged the national knit
ting movement ought to be spank
ed.
On the other hand, if Mr.. Dale
knoweth not whereof he speaks,
and is simply talking through his
hat, he ought to be taken in hand
and spanking would be too
good for him.

courteSies extended. Amongst

courtesies extended. Amongst
these cOurtesies was a princely
dinner at the Peace River Hotel,
which was immensely enjoyed by
the editors. We say immensely"
advisedly, for some of the editors
are immense eaters and this din
ner gave them just cause to give
full sway to the immensely of
their appetites.
1t had been planned to take the
visitors in cars out to see some of
the great truck farms and splen-
did orange groves which have
made Wauchula one of the most
progressive towns in the state
but, when the hour arrived, there
also arrived overhead huge, an
CRY black clouds and mutterings
of thunder indicating an impend-
ing rain-storm, in consequence of
which the proposed ride was "a
bandoned.
Patriotic resolutions unani-
mously adopted by the editors,
pledging their cordial support to
the government in the prosecution
of the war against Germany and
Austria, will appear in this paper
as soon as a copy of them is re-
ceived from the secretary.
In conclusion, we will say that
no previous meeting of the asso-
citation was productive of more
good than this one; all who at
tended were greatly benefited,
and all enjoyed it to the utmost.

Oranges Will Bring Good Prices

A letter just received from a
man in the North who is interest
ed in the orange business says
there is every prospect for good
prices the coming season. He says
the people were never so prosper
Gus, there being plenty of money
and willingness upon their part
to spend it for any needed thing.
They have become used to paying
high prices and will not consider
from 40 cents to 60 cents per doz-
en- too high for this delectable
FLORIDA fruit, Oranges at 5000
per box on the tree can be placed
on the market at the above prices,
so that all may make a good profit
shipper, wholesaler and retail
er. Growers should hold ND the
market price.
There is scarcely a doubt but
there will be somewhat more cit
rus fruits in the state of Florida
this year than last year, yet in De-
Soto county there are many Sec
tons where there is lighter crop
than last season. There is little
danger but that the entire crop
will be consumed at good paying
prices, if handled and marketed
rightly. The Citrus Exchange is
the most prominent factor in the
state for the correct marketing of
fruit. IfyOu will not join the Elk
change, you should at least CO.
operate with it in all possible
ways. 1t has done much for the
fruit business of the state.-Arca-

Red Gross Workers Learn OF
Foods

Red Cross workrooms have
been of great assistance to home
demonstration agents as offering
places where large groups of wo-
men may be reached and interest
ed in special food study. In adj
dition to giving talks on food saw
ing, in several towns the agent
prepares the noon lunch once a
week for the workers. This serves
to demonstrate good conservation
recipes, Suppers, for the benefit
of the Red Cross have been given
successfully in many places under
the agent. Men as well as women
are thus interested III the possibil-
tiles of war cooking.

Edison Working on Terrible
Device

sules to send a whole army to the
bosom of Abraham if the stuff
were properly dropped. The
trouble with the explosives so far
known to man is that corps Of
aviators can carry up but a limit
ed number of tons. The govern
ment is said to have ordered a
million airplanes, and this would
indicate that maybe some kind of
concentrated explosive is what
the mind Of Edison is going to
give the Allies with which to end
the world struggle and forever
wipe the Hun from the face of the
earth.
At any rate, it was published at
the beginning Of the war that Mr..
Edison had stated that he had
something in mind that would end
the struggle, but that 1t would
produce wholesale murder and he
would not release it. But, the
story goes, after the atrocities of
Germany increased in number and
horror and the United States en-
tered the war, Mr.. Edison con
sented to give his ideas to the gov
eminent of his country.
We know the man who pro-
duced the electric light, the troll
ley car, the photograph, the stor-
age battery, ETC., is laboring on
something that he hopes will end
the war and end it in the only way
that civilization will permit it to
end-in victory for the Allies and
for America. Certainly the coun-
TRY that invented the submarine,
the airplane, the telephone, the
cotton gin, the steamboat, the lin
otype machine, artificial ice and
practically everything else won
derful except the wireless, which
came from another ally, Italy
certainly such a country will be
able to conceive of some device
that will render the submarine
valueless and blow into atoms the
hordes Of the kaiser.
The Germans are not an invent
i've people. They steal ideas, like
the submarine and the long-range
gun, and develop them to high
degree, but little that is purely
original comes from the German
mind.
The fact that America leads the
world in inventions may furnish
good grounds for the hope that
the one idea which is to bring
peace to all the world and end
wars forever will come out of A.
merica and its secret remain in
Ithe possession of this government,
which in its big and noble way
will be able to say to all nations :
"Be good, behave, and fight not,
else we destroy you. st. Au-

Herald came next. He was ex-
pected to give a clear "lnterpre-
tation of the New Postal Law"
but, on being called out, he said
that an informal discussion in
dulged in at the morning session
convinced him that he knew less
about the law than any member
present, except Claude johnson of
the st. Cloud Tribune, and
Claude's ignorance was but the
offspring, so to speak, of the ig-
norance of the st. Cloud postmas-
ter. The Herald man didn t have
much to say, because he had been
befuddled and indignant about
the law ever since it went into eff
feet. His remarks caused a re-
newal Of the discussion which was
begun in the morning. Editor
Leach of the Leesburg CONNER
cial, and Editor HUMPHREYS of the
Bradentown Journal, who is also
postmaster of his city, each made
such a clear explanation of the
daw, at the same time showing
THAT it would rebound to the good
eof the village weeklies, that the
editors present withdrew their oh
,jections and pronounced in favor
.of the law. Editor Leach stated
that it had added only eleven
cents to his weekly postage bill.

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless GrimaIkins Are
Fed at cIoister of San Lorenzo
In Florence, Italy.

From time immemorial the stray cats
of Florence, Italy, have been cared
for. The cloister of San Lorenzo is
sacred to poor puss. It is overlooked
by the windows of the famous Lau-
rentian library, built by Michelangelo
for Pope Clement VII to house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
ETC., collected from house after house,
are emptiec into the dry moat round
the grass. Toward feeding-time one
may see cats of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tawny, and
white, male and female, young and old
-baslking in the sun and licking their
chops.
Finally, when the food is brought,
from every direction cats crowd in,
kissing at one another, mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up of un-
considered trifles come round to Sc
cure the pieces Of paper, etc., for rags.
When lost cat is found In the city
it is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is taken
to the Baptistry Of st. Johns to be
christened. Moreover, when people
wish to get rid of their cats, they
do not poison them or leave them to be
starved in empty houses, but send them
to the hospital cloister.
