70 THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA:

United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover has urged tie federal
food administrators of the various
states to make special appeal to all
farmers and stock growers. poultry
growers and gardeners, to give great
er effort than ever before toward pro-
ducinC food supplies.
In calling attention of the pcople Of
r'lorica to this most important work,
as federal food administrator, I
strongly urge compliance with Mr..
Hoover's suggestions. l want to i'm
press upon all, whether they have a
farm or merely a small garden, that
they should at this time determine to
plant quickly and as extensively as
is possible, combining their crops to
the most essential food products, such
as potatoes, corn, beans, and other
staple crops which can be depended
on to maintain quality and whole
someness for the longest period of
time. without expensive preservatives.
Growers of cattle and hogs should
go in for raising just as many animals
as they can properly feed and rear to
maturity. No young animals should
be slaughtered. Herds should be in
creased. No productive hens should
be killed. Egg production should be
stimulated.

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT is
STAMPING" OUT KAISERISM

"Save and sacrifice. Do your duty.
Don't delay. Buy U. S. War Savings
Stamps at any bank or post office.
Stamp out Kaiserism." This is a
legend that stands out conspicuously
on a large sign above the main en-
trance of the post Office department at
Washington.
Within the building an active cam
paign goes on continually in the in
terest of the various war issues. One
day boxes will be handed around or
set in a conspicuous place to catch
convenient small currency to be sent
ito the aid Of the Belgian sufferers;
another day the fund will be asked for
the French war orphans, and again
and again the familiar sign of the Red
Cross holds sway.
Within the past few days there has
been great activity in the matter of
War Savings stamps. Eight girls are
giving al their spare time in going
from desk to desk in the two main
buildings of the post Office depart
ment and to some or the larger branch
Offices. They explain the method OF
operation of the War Savings certif-
Gates and Thrift cards and they pur-
chase them for the clerks. One girl
recorded her sal of three days as
reaching $500, collected in sums vary
ing from % cents to S4.13, the latter
being the purchase price of one ccrti-
fcate during the month of February

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT WAR
WORK.

AS soon as The United States de-
clared war on Germany, Mrs. Frank
lin K. Lane, wife Of the secretary OF
the interior, called d meeting of the
wives Of the bureau chiefs to arrange
for the organization of the interior
! department for war work.

partment in Washington and the field

work. This enabled Mrs. Lane and
her committee to add eight beds to the
eight they already supported in the
Washington ward of the Neuilly hos
pitai in France.
Indians of the different reservations
were asked to contribute baskets to a
bag and basket sale planned by the
committee to raise money for surgical
dressings. The contributions were so
varied and generous and the work
Imanship and design so beautiful that
IS1,150 was received from the sale.
One box week is sent through the

16 beds.
Three or four gift bundles are in
Guided in each box. These contain a
sweater, pair of socks, a pair of
wristlets, helmet, scarf, six hand
kerchiefs, one wash cloth, soap, a
shaving stick, toothbrush, and tooth
paste. When a soldier has recovered
and is ready to leave the hospital, he
receives one of these gift bundles.
Hospital books made up of pictures,
good short stories, jokes, ETC., com
piled by employees of the pension of

who entered the service from the In

their homes to the young women war
workers, several thousand rooms have

Home gardeners who SO nobly re-.
sponded to the call for war garden
week. should add if possible to their
efforts of the past year. Every sue
cessful home garden means much in
he matter of food supply. Home gar
dening should be devoted to raising
not only perishable vegetables, but es-
peeially potatoes and beans, which can
be inexpensively preserved. In every
community where home garden COM
mittees have been appointed, a new
and more strenuous campaign of ed
ucation and effort should be imme-
diately inaugurated as the planting
season is at hand. Where this work
has not been developed, steps should
be taken to institute home garden ac-
tivity.
Every foot of land converted into
food producing capacity is that much
aid to the country. Every ounce of
vegetable or animal food produced
helps to make us independent of other
states, and also helps to tighten the
burdens of transportation. Plant ear
ly and plant as much as you can. Do
it now or as soon as weather condi-
lions prevail
Raise and consume as much fresh
produce as possible, and preserve your
surplus.

Little Baby Phenomenon.

A two-year-old baby girl holds the
worlds record in mental development.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John e.
Springer Of Mountain View, Cal.
The child can read like an eight
year-old. The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training.
At recent meeting Of college pro-
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read, counted and told the time BY
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary of about two thousand
words. She is large for her age and
eats and sleeps well.
