consumers could see these dainty
young ladies handling these products,
it would add zest to the appetite when
they came to the table.
Besides tomatoes, several thousands
of cans each of beans and sauer-
kraut are ready for shipment. All Of
these goods are put up in attractive
packages, and will compare favorably
with those turned out by the largest
concerns in the country.
Mr.. Mayes would have operated on
a much larger scale had he been able
to secure the produce. AS 1t was, ne
grew very large proportion of the
products he canned.
This is one of the institutions of
Lakeland that is of real value to the
community, and it is hoped that by
another season the farmers will grow
a sufficient quantity Of vegetables to
keep this plant busy. 1t has capa"-
ity for a large output.

No Bolshevism!

Prohibited by the mayors order
from displaying red flags, radicals at
meeting in New York last uight,
called ostensibly to protest again st the
execution Of Thomas Mooney bat ac-
tually to applaud bolshevism, wure red
flowers and red neckties. A large
number Of men in the uniform Of the
United States got into the hall and
protested some of the sentiments ex-
pressed. Others, unable to secure ad-
mittance, gathered outside and held
an indignation meeting in a nearby
park, sending out scouts for rein
forcements. When the indoors meet
ing adjourned several hundred Of
these uniformed men charged the red
decked people who had been in at
tendance and treated them roughly,
despite efforts of the police.
1t is wholesome sign that the men
who have put on the uniform Of the
country, ready for duty overseas, are
quick to resent the activities Of the
socialists who are seeking to implant
the principles Of bolshevism in this
land. These men were prepared to 60
to France to fight and if need be to
die for the ideals Of America. They
are drawn from all ranks Of society,
represent all shades of political opin-
ion. They are average Americans. If
they see in the red flag or its law
evading symbols the token Of dan
gerous doctrine there is substantial
ground for believing that bolshevism,
in whatever form, cannot spread here.
Opposition to the red flag movement
in the United States does not imply in
any degre opposition to the interests
of labor. On the contrary; it is be-
lieved that bolshevism is today labor's
worst foe. A difficult time approaches
as the country returns to normal after
war. There must be adjustments, and
it is imperative that they should not
be unfair or unjust to any class of
people. Advocacy Of the red flag and
all that it implies is challenge to the
law and the men who wear the coun-
try's uniform, and last nights episode
in New York is token that it cannot
survive the opposition of the men who
today represent the United States in
the foreign field and who have stood
here ready for service.

pacity wherever they serve. If changed
from legislators into executives, they
continue to give good account Of

The lame duck question is one with
which every national administration
has to deal. It is incscapable. It calls
for sympathy and tact and good ma
ture. When the flock is large and in
sistent, the administrations embar-
rassments are great; for many Of the
birds are personally known to the ap.
pointive power, have served it, and fq,
that and other reasons have a claim
on its attention. The size Of the pres.

Lame Ducks.

As usual, there are some lame ducks,
and, as usual, there will be some sport
at their expense. What of the future7
Where, if anywhere, will they now
"come in"7 If there are cakes and ale
for them-if ducks partake Of such
fare-where may the repast be foundi
Let it be remembered, however, that
all defeated candidates do not come un-
der this classification. Office affects
men differently. On many it seems to
cast a spell. A little experience Of it,
and they are fascinated for life. If
they lose one commission they try at
once for another. They are never
happy in private life again.
On the other hand are men with
whom a brief official experience goes
a long way. If they offer for indorse-
ment at the polls it is under pressure
from their friends. They have little
healt in the contest, and if they lose,
so far from being inconsolable, they
feel sense of relief. They are glad
to return to private life, and, as some
of them express it, be their own mas
tiers once more. The tyranny Of Office
is not to their taste.
For Office is o sort Of tyranny.
Whether appointive or elective. it car
ries heavy responsibilities. The in
cumbent, if worthy Of his trust, must
at all times consider the public in
terests, and put them above every
thing else. His constituents have q
very strong claim on him. he is, in a
very real sense, their servant, and they
are not slow or modest about issuing
commands.
Another thing worth remembering is
that some lame ducks possess . large
capacity for usefulness, and, when pro-
vided for, make full returns. II they
are fond Of Office it is measurably be-
cause they have learned something in
Office. And 50, tranaferred froA ene
