The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-10-31

There is going to be plenty of work
after the war, though there inevitably
will have to be some readjustment
in wages as we'll as the price of other
commodities. But these readjust-
ments will be made gradually and we
do not look for any sudden or de-
moralizing changes in conditions. In
deed, we believe that for Florida In
particular the end of the war will
mark an era of unprecedented In.
dustrial development and prosperity.

NJ. KERENSKY APPEARS
BEFORE LABOR COUNCIL

Linden. Jure 26-The appearance
OF NJ. Kerensky before the labor
council today was merely prelimln
airy to a speech which he had ex-
pected to make tomorrow. He had
planned TO address the delegates at
greater length.
M. Kerensky expects to go to
Paris. perhaps before the end of the
week, and few days later to sail
for America. He left Russia less
than three weeks ago by way OF
Mourmansk. Between the days OF
his disappearance from public at
fairs and then, he spent the time in
Novogorod, Petrograd and Mos
COW. His wife remains in Russia,
in hiding with her children.
Although kerensky's evasion OF
the police agents of his own country
was facilitated by a moustache and
a long beard which he grew i'll his
long months of hiding he did not
think this sufficient to disguise HIM
self and added the dress of a soldier
servant. a friend procured for him
the pass and other papers of an or
derby, and finally he risked passage
on the railway and got out of the
country.
Kerensky's mission in England
and America is to inform the people
OF the two countries, especially the
influential Russians. of the exact
conditions i'll Russia with a view to
procuring allied aid for that coun-
try, NJ. Nabokoff, charge d'affaires
of the Russian embassy in London,
told the Associated Press today.
"kerensky told me that Russia is
like strong man recovering from
Sickness he said. She is health
ier than before. All she needs is
assistance from the outside. She
does not want interference in her
internal affairs. That problem she
will solve in her own way 1t is &c
onomic and financial aid that she
needs. He does not believe that
Russia has gone out OF the war.
He insists that the Russian front
still exists, that it has been merely
pushed back by the Germans and
Austrians and will be restored by
the resurrected Russians. who are
rapidly recovering from their III
ness.

The freeze Thursday night, accord
ing to all reports, was one of the
most peculiar that Maine has ever
known For instance: One man had
a dozen tomato plants growing, and
all but one Of these were in an eX-
posed position. The 18th plant. which
was unexposed, was frozen stiff, while
the other II were untouched. At an
other place in Lewiston. two men had
large paintings Of beans. In one Of
these fields an outside row was lost,
but the chill jumped the intervening
rows to the field of the second man
and destroyed every plant.-Lewiston

Java's SUGAR Production.

Java is such a fruitful land that one
hesitates to specify the principal crop,
but it is one of the great sugar pro-
ducing countries of the world. The an
nual export of sugar amounts to some
thing like 100000 tons.A People are so
accustomed to thinking of sugar in
terms of pounds that nearly 1000, 900
tons of sugar seems to have a stupefy
ing effect on the mind. There are more
than 100000 acres of land under cultiva-
ton in sugar on the island of Java and
the average yield per acre is four and
one-half tons. which is a yield that is
high above the average of sugar land
