1t looks as if there were about as
many silk suits as there are wool suits
In the displays at the shops. One
hears women who have no need TO
save money, saying and repeating II,
that they are not buying wool clothing
at all. They intend TO look to cotton
and silk to supply them with what
they need, for this summer and they
are doing this from patriotic motives.
Wool suits are being remodeled, fresh
ened with new collars and cuffs Of
satin, or garnished with fiat silk braid
In many precise rows, and we are
pointing with pride to these made-over
possessions.
In the meantime those VINO manu-
facture silks are centering attention
on new beautiful and very practical
weaves, for all sorts of wear. There
are among them some wonderful, dis
tinctive dress fabrics.

sistance and cooperation in the work

This matter was referred to the board
of governors for action. We are very

members to be more attentive to the
board of trade. The secretary GER
tainly like sto see the ladies at the
meetings for they have suggestions
to offer for the betterment of the
town, often things which we men

O'BRIEN'S MINSTRELS
MONDAY EVENING

Neil O'Brien and his great AmeriA
can minstrels will be seen at the Tenn
pie theater Monday evening. Mr..
O'Brien is now on his sixth season
with the organization ebaring his
name, and there can be no doubt that
this attraction, begun six years ago
is now the leading one of its kind, and
the promise is given that there will
be an entirely new production this
year, one of much pretention and
high class in every respect. OF the
first part, which of course, is the dis
tinctive feature of a minstrel pro-
grom, the promise is given that it is
rich in its list of comedians and
vocalists, and that a very novel and
beautiful setting has been provided.
The second part of the program will
begin with new and elaborate sing
ing and dancing act called "Mandy's
Syncopated Reception" conceived and
staged by Neil O'Brien, and which
embodies novel idea of introducing
eccentric, comedy and refined dane
ing. There is also a new act for Mr..
O'Brien, entitled "In the Secret Serv-
ice" that is described as the very
best vehicle this popular comedian
has had in recent years. Eddie Ross,
who has been identified with this at
traction fo rthe past three seasons,
will again be in evidence with an en-
tirely new line of jokes and songs.
The final number on the program will
be q big one-act play called "The
Cruise of the Ebony Yacht Club, /"
which is said to be highly humorous
and permitting of a stage setting of
unusual scenic beauty.
OF course, there will be a parade
and band concert and it is said to be
well worth waiting for.

GREATEST INSURANCE
BUSINESS IN THE WORLD

More than $12, ,000, ,000, 900 of insur-
ance upon the lives of members of
the military and naval forces of the
United States has been written by the
bureau of war-risk insurance of the
United States treasury
A year ago the total amount of life
insurance in force in the United
States was about $4,000, 100000. In
few months the United States gov
ernment has written more than so
per cent of that amount.
1t furnishes this insurance to the
benefciaries at the same rate that
private companies would furnish it in
times of peace. This insurance is
bought and paid for at regular rates
by the benefciaries, except that the
nation assumes the additional risk
that being in the military and naval
service of the country entails upon
the benefciaries.
When Americans give up their pri-
vate occupations and in obedience to
the call of their country and the law
of the land, often at great financial
sacrifice, face the dangers of war and
offer their lives in the service of their
country, it is but right and just that
upon the nation and not upon them
should be put the added cost of in
surance their dangerous occupation
incurs.
Secretary McAdoo says that the
soldier and sailor insurance is the
justest, wisest and most humane pro-
vision ever made by any nation for its
fighting forces. This opinion is shared
by the soldiers and sailors and by the
people of the United States. The IN
Justice, the partiality, the inequali-
ties and other evils of the old pension
system are replaced by a just, fair
and generous insurance system which
over 80 per cent of the fighting forces
o fthe nation have hastened t otake
advantage of.

PLANS FOR HANDLING
FLORIDA PERISHABLES

Following strenuous efforts on the
part of Braxton Beacham, federal
food administrator for Florida, word
has been received from Washington
to the effect that plans have already
been worked out for handling Florida
perishables on schedules which were
in effect during former years.
Mr.. Beacham has insisted that this
matter be taken up with the greatest
possible efforts on the part of the
foo administration, and the result
has been that all branches of the
food administration handling perish
ables such as fruit and vegetables
shipped from this state have COM
bined in one great effort toward a
solution of the problem.
A meeting of the railroad officials
of southern and northern lines was
held in Richmond, on the 20th, for
the perfecting of schedules.
Florida shippers can now rest as
sured that their needs will be taken
care of and they cannot fail to give
credit to the food administration for
the excellent result obtained in get
ting this matter properly adjusted.
Through the work of Mr.. Beacham
an dthe authorities at Washington,
negotiations were carried on past the
department of agriculture and direct
1y to the attention of Director of
Railroads McAdoo, who was shown
that great loss would result if Flor
ida perishables were not taken care
of.
Now that the needs of the grower
will be filled, Mr.. Beacham hopes
that a great acreage of staple crops
will follow the perishables as the
farmers viii have this land available
in the near future, and there will be
an exceedingly strong market for
corn, peanuts and other crops which
are so badly needed at the present
time
