Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
1t is long time since we used one of
Oliver Wendell Holmes poems as a head
ing for our column, il indeed, we ever
did do ourselves honor by placing one
there. l have no recollection OF reading
this one before. think it was furnished
by B. E. S. Few writers could blend the
humorous and the pathetic so aptly as
Holmes. You will agree to shat state
ment, as you recall some of his familiar
poems. Emerson may have written the
law of compensation" but Holmes
expressed it in the stanzss above. He
might call for-one hour OF his youthful
days-but life, in passing, had given him
treasures that could not be battered

ONE U.B0AT CAPTAIN
IS REALLY HUMAN
Submarine Commander Did Aid
Wounded, So Survivors of
British Ship Say.

One instance in which an enemy SUBJ
marine commander, after sinking a
British vessel, amazed the survivors
by giving them bandages and liniment
for their wounds, stands out in sharp
contrast with the brutality or indiffer-
ence to suffering practiced by the Ger
man sea pirates. Nevertheless, the
survivors tell a story of extreme hard
ship endured in small boats for six
days and nights. Seventeen are miss
Ing of the ships company of 80.
Five hundred miles from the Irish
coast a large British steamer, outward
bound in ballast, got a torpedo death
blow. No time was lost by the ships
company in getting away from the
sinking vessel.
Many of the crew had been wound
ed, especially among the engine room
force. With difficulty the injured were
placed in the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
near by and the commander came on
deck. He noticed the wounded, and
calling the boats alongside his craft,
he went inside, returning with band
ages and liniment, which he handed to
the surprised officers in charge of the
boat. This act Of kindness saved sew
eral lives.
A steamers smoke was seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off rap
idly. The small boats shaped a course
toward land, but the wind was light
and unfavorable.
Only a small store of biscuits was
carried. There was water enough for
a very limited ration and in the days
that followed the suns heat was al
most intolerable. Wounded succumbed
one after another and were consigned
to the sea.
Torture reached its limits. Previous
ly the officers had resorted to physical
force to prevent the Lascars from
drinking the salt water. Now moth
ing could restrain them and they
eagerly drank the brine. Soon after
ward two died of their sufferings.
Hope had almost died when late
that evening a vessel sighted and
picked them up. They were landed in
Ireland.

Some Old Day Battles.

The great odds in numbers which
the British army has had to face on
the western front is no rare expert
enc in its annals. Wellington has
borne witness to that fact in his re.
marks that Talavera was the only
battle in which he had a numerical
superiority, owing to the presence of
the Spaniards, who, while showing
much personal gallantry, were badly
led. At all his other battles he had
fewer men than the enemy. "At Sala'
maca 1 had 10000 men, and the French
perhaps $4,000. At Vittoria / had co.
900 men against 10000. At Waterloo
the proportion was still more against
me. / had $4,000 to $4,000; Napoleon
had near $4,000. The whole army in
the south of France under my com.
mand was considerably larger than the
force of Soult at the battle of Tou.
louise, but in numbers actually EN-.
ployed in that battle l had less than
he" All of which goes to show that
strength and success do not neces.
sarily lie with mere weight of num-
bers. There are other factors vastly
more essential.-Christian Science

BrakInc AirpIane While FIyino,

A braking mechanism for airplanes
has recently been introduced, accord.
ing to the Popular Science Monthly
This consists of two rectangular planes
of small area, mounted on a shaft that
runs along the rear edge of the main
plane, and passes through the fuselage.
The control is by means of a hand
wheel and connections. which act In
conjunction with a mandrake.
When an airplane is flying at a rate
of a hundred miles an hour the air
pressure is not less than 30 pounds to
the square foot. 1t will thus be seen
that the added resistance of a few
extra square feet of canva has a very
great retarding action on the speed of
the plane.

William Kranz, a farmer neal JEFF

SEE GOOD PRICES
FOR EARLY ORANGES

Ocala, Fla, July 26.-That early or
anges, particularly Parson Browns,
can be expected to bring excellent
prices in the northern markets was the
trend of opinion expressed at a rally
here today of Marion county members
of the Florida Citrus exchange.
Speaking upon the subject of prices,
DR.. J. HI. Ross of Florence Villa, pres
ident of the Florida Citrus exchange,
said it seemed probable that specu-
lators had been responsible for the
impression that orange and grapefruit
prices would not be good this year;
and that, in consequence of this inn
preston having gotten out, a number
of growers had been led to contract
for the sale of their fruit for consid-
erably less than it was worth.
"We have no information, said
DR.. Ross, "that conditions will be such
as to compel growers to accept for
their fruit less than it is worth. At
the same time, we believe that, with
the greatly increased costs of citrus
fruit production this year, growers
should see to it that they obtain fair
prices for their crops.
Inasn1uch as our government, and
the director general of railroads in
particular, are on record as desiring
to afford every possible facility for the
movement CT Florida's citrus fruits,
we have every reason to expect our
fruit to reach the markets in reason
able time. Rumors that citrus fruits
might be denied transportation, for
the reasons that they are enormously
~ thought by some people to belong
to the luxury class, probably originate
from the same sources which have
been responsible for the impression
that prices will not be good"
In addition to DR. Ross there were
present at the meeting F. L. Sicily,
sales manager, and C. E. Stewart, jr.,
business manager of the Florida Cit
rus exchange; R. H. Holland, manager
lof the New York Office Of the organi-
cation, and considerable number OF
the leading men of the citrus fruit in
dustry of Marion and Orange counties.
While it was declared that no pre-
diction safely could be made as to ex-
act prices, the opinion expressed by
the various speakers was to the eff
feet that an excellent market for
Florida's citrus fruits could be ex-
pected throughout the selling season;
and the tone of the meeting was de-
cidedly Optimistic

to save Germany from her just
fate The Germans, holding no higher
than those Of force and ruth
lessness, believe that American ideal.
ism must necessarily be based on sen
and weakness Of character.
The kaiser, therefore, expects the
United States to accept his flattery and
to summon all the rest Of the world al
sinners to hear the irrevocablo judg
ments of the American nation. BY this
means the democracies Of Europe
would naturally be melted TO cnmity
against America. The resulting dis.
cord would immeasurably benefit Ger.
man interests. It IS not through any
such intrigns as this that just peace
can be imposed on the Germans. Peace
must be in agreement with the funda-
mental terms Of all the democratic ma
tions, If democracy is to win the war
Germany must not be allowed tc
gain the victory by subtly planting
seeds Of future strife between America
and the democraciss of Great Britain
and France.
