Important changes in his office at Or
lando, and has adopted plans which
viii greatly facilitate work of the of
flee and viii place certain departments
in charge of various directors, who
under the new plans will be able to
keep in closer touch with the subjects
and the work allotted to them. IS
Under this new system, Mr.. Beach
ANS assistants are given the title of
director" and each of them chosen
will have entire. charge of their re-
spective divisions, with Administrator
Beacham in supreme authority and
acting as advisor on all questions de-
manding his judgment or final direc-
tion. Eeach of the directors will ham
die correspondence relating to Their
respective divisions and touching on
kindred subjects which in the very
nature, of their work extend much fur

Administrator Beacham has created
divisions and has designated their di-
rectors as follows:

products. Administrator Beacham.

! forcement, T. E. McLin, director.

mes E. Harris, director.

Young, director.
Reviewing these divisions, Mr..
Beacham takes over the cotton seed
matters as he IS so familiar with tn S
subject that every phase of the indus
try is perfectly understood by him,
and he is in better position to handle
the various questions than could be
expected Of any of his assistants who
lack experience in this particular field.

the accounting division, is able to
draw on an experience of eighteen

so been at the head of Florida's sugar
division since the food administration
took over the work of distribution OF
that commodity and therefore is able
to carry on this particular and inn
portant work without break in the
systeya he has already perfected.

lation and enforcement, has had years
of business experience in this state
+ which has been further assisted by his
