There Are Others.

The president dwells with unctuous
eloquence upon the universal desire of
the world for such a league Of nations
as is provided for in the covenant Of
standardization and the unanimity
with which the allied powers regard
it as a practical necessity; and his
voluble press agents and propagandists
are unwearying in their declarations
that the only opponents Of that pre-
cious scheme, who are to be found
from Dan to Beersheba, not to say
from Gina to Peru, are the "pigmy
minded insects of the United States
senate.
Yet there are others. We recently
quoted some passages from The Spec
tator of London unmistakable indi-
eating that that pre-eminently
thoughtful and representative journal
regarded the value of the success Of
the scheme with the gravest Of doubts.
Also The Daily News of London, a
conspicuous advocate Of peace and
good will, declares that the treaty of
peace, comprising the covenant, is dis
appointing, travesty on the presi-
dents fourteen commandments, and
perilous menace to peace. Really, we
do not recall that any "pigmy minded"
senator has ever criticised it more Sc
verely than that.
France, too. 1t will be recalled that
M. Leon Bourgeois, perhaps the fore
most French advocate Of peace through
the reign Of law, strongly urged some
radical changes in the covenant before
it was adopted, but under the DONNA
ton Of the president the big four re-
jected his suggestions Now the
peace committee of the French parlia-
ment recommends that the covenant
be revised as soon as possible after it's
adoption, so as to include it in the
amendments of M. Bourgeois; and the
prime minister, M. Clemenceau, ap-
proves the recommendation.
There is also to be considered the
attitude toward the covenant Of the
league which was manifested by the
British parliament, when the house Of
commons was spontaneously convulsed
with mirth at every mention Of the
thing, and when the prime minister
with difficulty smoothed down his own
risibles as, with Rabelaisian JUNCTION
he implied the plea, "Don't nail his
ears to the pump!"
On the whole, therefore, we cannot
claim for The majority Of the United
States senate any monopoly of criti-
cism of the covenant. Nor can we
perceive that it is any more turpitu
dinous for our senate to propose
amendment Of the thing before it is
adopted than for the French chamber
to demand that as soon as it is adopted
| it shall be torn to pieces again and
radically revised. AS a matter of
practical common sense we say that
the former plan was the better.
At any rate, if we should-as we
shall decline to ratify the thing as it
stands, letter-perfect, the heart of the
world may be broken, but we are quite
sure that there are many hearts in
France and Great Britain that will not
be so much as cracked, but will con-
/ tinue to beat in complete integrity in
unison with our own. Harvey's

applause. A talented company put
on a one act comedy, "The New
Clerk" there was plenty of dancing
by Marguerite Myers and her Follies
Girls, and the usual good pictures.
A complete change of program by this
company, direct from the Keith Cir
cult, will doubtless play to a full
house.

TEXT BOOKS FOR
HOME NURSING COURSE
HAVE ARRIVED

The text which is to be used as a
guide in the course in Elementary
Hygiene and Home Nursing has ar
rived and will be on display at the
| City Drug Store tomorrow where in
| formation concerning this work may
be obtained from the committee IN
charge A room is being gotten in
readiness for these classes in regard
to which more definite announcement
will be made in tomorrow's issue. 1t
IS hoped that many of the women of
Lakeland will avail themselves of
| this opportunity for the beterment of
health conditions The lessons will
probably begin the last Of this week
or the first of next and will be of
IL or hours duration.
The same course is being offered
In Tampa and yesterdays Tribune
has the following to say concerning
it:
"A room on the fourth floor of the
City Hall has been secured and the
women Of the Red Cross have been
busy during the last few days fitting
this out and putting 1t in readiness
for the opening day. There have been
six classes organized thus far, and
these will be given lessons alternate
ly. Noting how beneficial and neces-
sary these instructions will be for
the betterment and preservation of
health, the women of Tampa have
made good response and the enlist
ments have been very large The
afternoon class has been already re-
cruited to its full quota and those
desiring to get the benefit of these
instructions will be obliged to join
either the morning or the night class
es. The clinic will be tutored by ex-
perienced nurses It is not the idea
of the movement to give technical
instructions as to home nursing, as
the time is very limited and too short
to do so. The lessons that will be
taught will concern only things that
are of foremost Importance in the
sick-room, such as attendance to ply
stefan, writing charts, giving medi-
cines, etc, to give comfort to the
patient" ..."
1t is also proposed to offer a course

clusion OF the present course II pos

EDITOR LES les WEEKLY
SAYS FLORIDA
YET IN ITS
INFANCY

Mr.. John A. Sleicher, editor OF
Leslie's Weekly. has just spent a
month in Polk county at Mountain
lake in the Lake Wales section, and
is now in st. Augustine. OF his visit
the St. Augustine Record says:
John A. Sleicher of New York, ed
itor of eLslie's Weekly, is a visitor
in St. Augustine and guest at the
Hotel Ponce de Leon, arriving there
with Mr.. and Mrs. e. T. BEDFORD
and Miss Gladys Bedford also of New
York. Mr.. Bedford is we'll known ir
New York city, being president of the
Corn Products Refining Company anG
he was at one time associated will
the late Henry M. Flagler. Members
of the party have been at Mountain
lake, in the beautiful highland sec
ton Of Polk county. They are very
enthusiastic about the beauties o.
that portion Of the State, and Mr..
Bedford has in fact purchased prop
erty at the Mountain Lake Club with
the idea of building a home there. II
is hoped that Mr.. Sleicher's present
trip through Florida will inspire him
as did former journey a year or
two ago, this resulting in two inter-
esting articles on the State, which
appeared in Leslie's. In an inter-
view with representative OF this
newspaper Mr.. Sleicher remarked
that as yet everything is in its In
fancy here in this wonderful State,
industrially, commercially. agricul-
turally and otherwise. People are
only just beginning to find ont the
great possibilities of Florida's soil
climate and her splendid system o!
waterways. The next few years, he
said, will mark a tremendous change
as Florida moves forward. In re
marking on the quaintness ana charm
Of st. Augustine and the appeal il
holds especially for persons with the
artistic temperament. Mr.. Sleichel
said that Grant e. Hamilton, the ART
editor of Leslie's and Judge, was de
sirous Of coming south next winter
with his family, and that he had dc
cided to recommend st. Augustine al
the place for him to locate for tht
season.

Farmers Club
Held Fine Meeting;
Discussed The
Fertilizer Problem

The Farmers Club was delightful !,
entertained Saturday at the pleasant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Grill near
Scott Lake. There was quite a large
attendance and the usual good din
ner was thoroughly enjoyed, after
which the business session was called

president and vice president, Mr..
John 5 McClelland was elected chair
man for the day. The club SANE

offered prayer.
New members received were Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. W. Zietlow. Mrs.
Laura Fowler, Mrs. J. H. Corn
forth, Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Gwyn and
Mrs. Sophia Smith.
The subject for the day was "The
Fertilizer Problem and as Mr.. Grill
has very fine looking grove, he was
asked to give his experience but he
said that so far it had been rather an
expensive one. He has lived here on
|? short time but his grove shows
the benefit of fertilizing.
Mr.. R. T. George said the cues
ton Of fertilizer is what it takes to
improve our soil, He believes in com
mercial fertilizer and says 1t can
hardly be overdone as there Is moth
ing in it to hurt the tree except
ammonia and that will evaporate ii
too strong. 1t should be applied at
the proper time. The first applica-
ton being made by the last Of October
or the first of November He gave his
experience with his own grove. The
first year 1886 bearing trees yielded
S73 boxes The second year 1000
boxes, and the third year 1900 ',ox-
es-all done by feeding. The reason
it seems expensive is because It takes
some time to get returns. FERTILE
ing truck and other crops was 6is-
cussed by several members, all u the
opinion that 1t pays to fertil;ze.
Mr. McClelland told OF the immense
truck crops raised at Parish, Fla, by
the use Of castor bean puln for Ger
tilizer.
Mr.. Bartholomew spoke Of making
our own fertilizer by raising heggar
weed, COW peas. velvet beans and
sweet clover. All of these put nitro
gen and humus into the soil
We were then entertained with
some recitations by little Miss Doro-
thy Grill and Mrs. M. e. Lake also

Important Chicken Decision

In order to send a person to
the penitentiary for stealing
chickens, the Appellate Court has
held it must be proved that the
stolen fowls were worth 81. The
answer to the question of value
as somewhere about ST. is not
sufficient. Ace Saylor, of Leslie
county, was convicted on the
charge of stealing chickens, but
the cuort failed to give petit
larceny charge, and a new trial
was ordered.
