London,s CRYSTAL Palace.

Crystal palace was originally built
in Hyde park for the great exhibition
of 1851, being afterward removed to
it's present site and re-erected. At the
first state opening of the palace by
Queen Victoria it was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fired, the reason given being that the
concussion would shiver the glass roof
and the company assembled below, IN
cluding her majesty, would be cut into
mincemeat. Dire were the predictions
of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public. The
first gale, they said, would inevitably
wreck it, while the heat engendered Dy
the sun pouring it's rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrlhc
that no human being could Withstand
it. Consequently if they escaped an
avalanche of glass they would be roast
ed to death inside the case.

A visitor in Snowflake said to
the Herald man: "You know
there is more danger being run
over by automobiles in Snowflake
than in Albuquerque?" We ask
eb for the special danger and he
said: Il was out strolling about
the streets after supper enjoying
the brisk air and for seven times
| had to dodge automobiles.
Nearly every one was running
without lights and at a nippy
speed. | tried to remain as close
to the sidewalks as possible, but
every crossing | had trouble.
Surely the people here don't con-
slider the danger of running
without lights, and was wond-
ering if they think that should
they hike over to Albuquerque
that they Chink they could chase
our streets with blind cars? Hon
estly, | would like to see some of
them run over there and try out
our streets at night with their
blind cars, since some of them
have given me such close shaves"

For example, one man with two
row cultivator will cultivate twice
the crop area per day covered by
the man with a one-row cultiva-
tor. Larger sized implements cost
but little more than the smaller
ones; and the saving in man labor
in one season s work might pay
the difference in cost of imple-
ment.
The third measure, that of in
creasing efficiency by charging
the fields, may not always be pos
sible, Yet Florida fields are of
ten made small by reason of a di-
viding fence, a narrow lowland,
or row of trees that could be re-
moved, permitting the two fields
to be worked as one, doing away
with much of the time lost in turn
ing Large fields must be provid-
ed for large teams and large i'm
plements.
Some tractor owners have made
their machines work efficiently by
providing two shifts of laborers
and running the machines nearly
twenty-four hours of the day.
This is equivalent to owning and
operating two tractors without
the necessity of investing money
in a second tractor.

Kill and Can the BOOSTERS

Poultry raisers have discovered
that the rooster is not needed in
the flock after the Matching sea-
son. Also, they bring low prices
on the market, although their
flesh is excellent food. For this
reason the University of Florida
extension division recommends
that the birds be killed and their
flesh canned for home use.
The method advised by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture fol-
lows:
Kill the fowl, dress at once, and
cool; wash thoroughly, draw, then
cut into convenient pieces. Dip
into cold water to insure cieanli-
ness. Place in wire basket or
cheesecloth and boil until meat
can be removed from bones easily.
Then remove from boiling liquid
to separate the meat from bones.
Take the meat off in as large sec
tions as possible; pack, hot meat
into hot glass jars; fill jars with
pot liquid after it has been con-
centrated one-half; add level tea
spoonful of salt per quart of meat.
for seasoning; put rubbers and
caps of jars into position, not
tight.
If quart jars are used, process
in steam pressure canner for 2
hours at pounds pressure, or /
hour at 10 to Is pounds pressure.
Remove jars, tighten covers; in
vert to cool and test the joints.
Only the very best rubbers should
be used.
Do not attempt to can meat
without using steam pressure

DON'T WASTE FRUIT JUICES
Sterilize and Bottle Them for
Later Jelly Making

The busy housewife often finds
it inconvenient to make jelly dur
ing the rush of canning season,
For this reason, some of the fruit
juices that would make excellent
jelly are thrown away, or fruit
that would yield good juices for
the purpose is not gathered. Yet
these juices can be saved for later
jelly making by sterilizing and
bottling them without sugar. This
enables the housewife to do with
fewer jelly glasses and to distrib-
ute the work of jelly making
through the year.
This method may make possible
the production of a greater varie-
ty of jellies, too, as juices which
will not jell can be put up when
the fruit is ripe and combined la
ter with juices that will jell, says
the University of Florida exten-
sion division.
To put up unsugared fruit
juices for jelly making proceed
exactly as if jelly were to be made
at the time. Cook the fruits until
they are soft and strain out the
juice through a flannel bag. Heat
and pour while hot into bottles
previously scalded. Fill the bot
ties full, leaving no air space be-
tween juice and cork. Place the
filled sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point,
and keep them in the bath for a.
bout 30 minutes. Make sure that
the corked or sealed end is under
the hot water. AS soon as the bot
ties are cool cover the cork with
paraffin seal. Thorough sterili-
cation and sealing are absolutely
essential to success.
To make jelly from the ster-
lized juice, test its jelling quality,
add the proper amount of sugar,
and proceed as in making jelly
from freshly expressed juice.

SAVE THE MAN POWER
Increase Agricultural Efficiency
by Using Machinery

Agricultural efficiency, in this
national emergency, is in consid-
cradle measure a matter of eff
ficiency in the use of farm machin-
cry. Man labor is scarce. The
lack must be made up largely by
better utilization of men, horses
and tractors. There are three i'm
portant ways in which farmers
can improve on the old methods,
says F. M. Rast Of the University
of Florida college of agriculture /:
Increase the horsepower per
man by increasing the size of
teams.
Increase the area covered per
man and per team by substituting
large-sized implements for smaller
ones.
Increase the area covered in a
given time by increasing the size
of the fields.
The first method consists in the
farmer driving a two-horse team
where before he drove one horse.
This is perhaps the simplest ex-
pedient for increasing labor eff
ficiency on the farm, and one
which is already coming into gen.
eral practice. Where horse labor
is abundant doubling up teams eff
fects a material saving, even with
out any increase in the size of i'm
plements, since the large team
works more easily and rapidly
than a smaller one.
When the size of teams is in
creased and larger implements al
so are used, a further saving of
man labor and of time is effected.

A Wheatless Egg-Laying Ration

Wheat is not essential in an
gg-laying ration, and excellent
results can be secured by using
corn and oats as scratch mix
ture, provided this is fed with a
good mash containing 25 percent
beef scrap, says the University Of
Florida extension division. IF the
wheat is omitted from the ration,
this large percentage Of beef
scrap is essential, but at present
prices beef scrap is one Of the
cheapest poultry feeds, consider
ing its high protein content.
Here is a good ration: Scratch
mixture, 2 pounds cracked corn, l
pound oats; dry mash. 3 pounds
corn meal, ! pound beef scrap.
Another mash which is slightly
cheaper than this one is made of
A percent each bran and mid
dlings, 26 percent beef scrap, and
Sc percent cornmeal.

ey do these districts get-Arcadia
needs the money.
Not only this, but the people of
the Punta Gorda District have
bonded and spent an immense a.
mount of money to do it's bit in
hard-surfacing the Dixie High
way in its district and are spend
ing fortune to build a bridge a.
cross Charlotte Harbor, and now
Arcadia would cut Punta Gorda
off the Dixie Highway.
The official map published by
the National Highway Association
shows that Punta Gorda is on the
official "Dixie Highway" The
people Of Punta Gorda had conf
dence in the National Highway
Association and the State Road
Department and have spent their
money on the Dixie Highway.
Now, since Arcadia has $780,
900 to add to its bond money,
iPunta Gorda is to be cut out, the
road running from Arcadia to
Carlstrom Camp, thence to Dorr
Camp and thence direct to Fort
Myers, cutting Nocatee, Fort Og-
den, Cleveland and Punta Gorda
off the Dixie Highway, having no
consideration for any town except
Arcadia.
And yet the office holders and
pap-suckers of Arcadia would
lead you to believe that they are
surprised that the people want
county division.
If any man in Arcadia will cite
us TO one incident where Arcadia
has been liberal or helpful to any
other section, of DeSoto county,
we will seriously consider drop
ping the division question forever.
On the other hand we can cite
scores of incidents where Arcadia
has played the hog, and this road
question is only one-and not the
greatest .-Wauchula Advocate.
AS a matter of fairness, The
Herald will state that Sunday s
Arcadia News denies the charges
made by the Wauchula Advocate
and prints a table showing that
the Arcadia district has bonded
for larger amount than any 9TH
er district in the county and that
the money derived from the bonds
is for roads entirely outside the
city" This debt for outside
roads amounts to $405, 100000,
which, added to the cost of city
paving, makes nearly $750,000.00
which the city and district have
spent and are spending on high
ways.
The News says that the $780,
100000 of state and federal road
funds are being used for purely
patriotic purposes, to help whip
the Huns" by building roads to
the aviation camps; also, that
part of the bond money recently
voted will be used to complete the
Dixie Highway south to the line
Of the 'Punta Gorda district.
The News threatens that, if Ed
itor Goolsbv does not quit his dew
iltry, it will vote for division just
to get rid of him.
The Herald begs to make just
this one comment: the $50.00000
are to be applied in building the
state highway not only to the a.
Walton camps, but through them
and on via Bermont to Olga,
thence to Fort Myers, which
makes it longer route to Fort
Myers than if the road came by
Punta Gorda-and the adoption
of the route via Bermont and Oh
ga leaves Nocatee, Fort Ogden,
Cleveland and Punta Gorda "out
in the cold"

ARCADIA is CHARGED
BY EDITOR GOOLSBY
With Being a Stacker in Road
Building
A SEVERE ARRANGEMENT
Wauchula Advocate Accuses the
County Seat of "Hogging"
State and Federal Road Funds
and Ruling Certain Places Off
Dixie Highway.

~S ~~5
The following was published in
the Florida Advocate of Wauchu-
la last Friday, and it ought to be
read carefully by every citizen of
DeSoto county:
Editor Advocate We are in
formed that our good Uncle Sam
gave to the states goodly sum OF
money to be used in making good
roads. On some proper basis, this
money is divided among the sever
al states, and our own state
Florida-came into her share of
that money. Then, on some wise
basis, the money that Florida re-
ceived was divided among the sew
eral counties. We write to in
quire when this part of DeSoto
county will receive her part of
that money, and what use we shall
make of it when received.
Some evil-minded person has
said or intimated that the Arcadia
district has appropriated the
whole amount. That certainly is
not the truth. Will some one in
form us? Just now such things
are of interest. t.-CITIZEN.
"Citizen" evidently does not
understand Arcadia. He does not
seem to realize that Arcadia has
for its motto: Arcadia Always
Ahead" and that motto means
Arcadia is always ahead when
there is any public pap on tap.
And furthermore, Arcadia con-
sistently lives up to that motto.
But the funny part of it is, the
State Road Department appro-
priated this ,$50,000.00 to DeSoto
county because "DeSoto county
is one of the most progressive
road-building counties of Florida,
inasmuch as it has bonded for a
total sum of $1,200,000 for
roads"
Let us see what part Arcadia
played in building this reputation
for DeSoto county. The Wau-
chula District bonded, the Zolfo
District bonded and the Punta
Gorda District bonded, and the
Arcadia District played the slack
er.
The other district builded roads
to the very line of the Arcadia
district and tried to, shame that
district into doing its bit, but Ar
cadia continued to play the slack
er.
Finally, Uncle Sam informed
them that their so-called good
roads were no roads at all; and,
if they did not get out of the
Stacker class and build some real
roads, the aviation camps would
be moved.
Then, and not until then did the
Stacker wake up.
But Arcadia is not used to MAX
ing improvements with its own
money. 1t has always found it
cheaper to make it with other peo-
pies money, and therefore the
hooks were thrown out and the
fifty thousand dollars of state
money secured-not for building
or the upkeep Of roads in DeSoto
cOunty-but in the Arcadia dis
trict,
The Wauchula District has
twelve miles of the Dixie High
way in its territory; the Zolfo
District has as much or more, and
the Punta Gorda District has
more than either the Wauchula or
Zolfo district. The Dixie High
way through each of these dis
tricts is a hard-surfaced road,
much of it being of brick or as
phalt, but not a cent Of state mon

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very chesp
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to piece You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in; about a teaspoonful is
all that Is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Be
sides. it loosens and takes out every
particle OF dust, dirt and dandruff.
