RURAL SAVINGS
CLUBS WILL Be
FORMED SOON

Arrangements for the organization
of War Saving Societies in the rural
communities Of Florida are being
completed. This is part of the work
of the 1919 thrift campaign, an in
tensive movement carried on by the
government to promote wise spend
ing, intelligent saving, avoidance of
waste and safe investment
VIC. Cooper. educational director
of the war savings division of the
war loan organization has obtained
for the work the hearty support and
cooperation of DR.. P. H. Rolls. dean
of the state College of agriculture.
and director of the farm extension
work who is much interested in this
work.
Much enthusiasm was manifested at
the state convention OF farm demon
stration agents which met at Gaines
vile on the 18th of this month. One
thousand packages of war savings
society literature was shipped to this
convention to be used during the
campaign and more will follow when
this is exhausted.
With the cooperation Of the farm
demonstration agents of the respec-
tive counties, Mr.. Rolls will organize
war Savings Societies among the
farmers clubs of the state. It is ex-
pected that every farmer in Florida
will be enrolled in one of these So
cieties.
The purpose of savings societies
among the farmers is simply to place
them in a position where they won't
have to worry about whether next
year is rainy season or dry one.
or whether the boil weevils eat up
all the cotton or the cows break down
the pasture fence and eat np all the
corn.
Membership in a savings society
protects for the future, provides for
old age and sickness, and insures
the children a good education and
start in life.

President Emeritus Charles william
Eliot of Harvard, declares that the
vital remedy for these diseases, "the
most destructive Of all contagious
and transmissible diseases" is educa-

Paris, Dec. S.-(Associted Press)
The Supreme Councils notes dealing
with the Peace Treaty were delivered
to Baron Won Lersner, head of the Ger
man delegation, this evening.
The first note denies the German de-
mands for modification of the treaty
clause relating to the surrender of Ger
mans charged with crimes against the
usages of international warfare and to
the return of prisoners Ii agrees to
consider the economic effects on Ger
many OF the indemnities required for
the sinking or the warships at Scapa
Flow in spirit of equity, after hear
ing by the Reparation Commission"

last time that denunciation of the
armistice would give the allied armies
all latitude for necessary military meas
ures, and adds: In this spirit we
await without delay signature of the
protocol and the exchange of ratifica.
ton"
Regarding the coercion clause of the
protocol, the Supreme Council consid-
ers that the signing of the protocol
and ratification of the treaty will
make the latter effective, and that the
execution of the protocol will be
guaranteed by the general terms Of the
treaty and by ordinarily recognized
methods. II rejects the Germans pre-
tended right to modification OF the
treaty clauses as compensation for the
absence Of Americans from the com
missions and declares that "it is vain
for Germany to seek TO delay the
treaty's effectiveness because of the
position of the Americans with regard
to the commissions
The second note deals entirely with
tho Scapa Flow incident. 1t places the
responsibility for the sinking upon the
Germans and sees in the protest onIyI
an attempt, difficult to explain. to
delay the treaty
The note cites the secret messages
sent in May, 1919, of the chief of the
German Admiralty (Admiral Won Tro-
thai to Admiral Won Reuter-, in com
mand vph, the German crews of the
Scapa Flow ships. telling him that the
disposition of the fleet cannot be de-
cided without us it will be finished by
us, and delivery to the enemy avoided. ,"
The Supreme Council this morning
took upsffe' Unfinished business OF the

pose of the mere urgent questions. It's
purpose also was decided upon the con
ference OF the other pending questions
