Mrs. HelvenstOn's Report of the F. F
w. c. Convention

It reminded me of the familiar say
| ing of Hooligan's, "Of again, on
again, gone again." the rapidity with
which at o'clock in the morning, /
jumped out of warm bed and into a
sleeper bound for st. Petersburg to
attend the meeting of the Florida
Federation of Women's Clubs. Upon
awakening, found Mrs. McCollum of
Gainesville and met several other la
dies on their way to our common des-
tins.tion. q,
AS the opening of the convention
was not until evening, we had all day
Tuesday to enjoy the sights of the
Sunshine City. with its splendid wide
b~ick streets, beautiful tropical
growth and modern buildings. Notable
among these are it's school buildings,
the best in the state-perhaps in the
South-equipped with gymnasium,
roof gardens for outdoor study and
play, a large auditorium. play
grounds, ETC.; postoffice consisting
almost entirely of porches with all
the boxes out of doors; many hand
some hotels and restaurants, gift
shops, beautiful parks and most up to
date apartment houses. / went thru
several suites in the handsomest
house of the town and was struck with
the Morris beds and other space and
labor saving devices. 1t is hoped that
at no distant day Ocala may have sew

Carroll on a drive to the "Jungle" out

thing like a park with benches and
pavilions amid the natural tangle of

in the drive from Daytona to New

AT night came the opening session
of the convention with eloquent
speeches of welcome from prominent
club women and men of ST. Peters
burg, followed by a brilliant reception

The yacht club is situated on the

scene was quite festive with brilliant
lights, beautifully gowned women,

SACRIFICED BOY FOR DONKEY
Giving Up of His Son and the
Direst Poverty.

Some years ago a Chinaman was
confronted with the problem Of secur-
ing a donkey, without available means
to purchase it with. He had a number
of children and would not be able to
support them unless he could secure
the animal with which to work in his
attempt to keep starvation from his
door.
On bordering the matter he decided
that the donkey could serve his pur-
pose better than could any one Of the
children in the family. He therefore
arranged an exchange, giving a son
of his into slavery that he might gain
possession of the animal as a means
Of support for the rest of his family.
1t happened that the lad was rescued
from the life of slavery and placed in
a Methodist institution.
Quite recently one Of our Methodist
missionaries had occasion to address
the student body Of large Chinese
school. His interpreter won his adj
miration by his quickness and by his
accuracy, and he inquired into the
matter. The missionary discovered
that this was the little boy who had
at one time been exchanged for a
donkey, grown into young manhood,
and beginning professional career
of large usefulness to that community
of his needy people.-The Methodist.

HUMAN HEART WORKS HARD
Vital Organ of Mankind Can Be
Keyed Up to an Energy That Is
Astounding.

1t is an astounding fact that the av-
erage heart beats 100000 strokes
every u months, working, resting or
sleeping. In that period it does work
sufficient to fire with their present w
locity a dozen of the largest projec-
tiles that were used in the war, or to
lift a light cruiser clean out of the
water, says London Tit-Bits. If such
is the energy of single mans heart,
what is the aggregate force of 3,0O0.-
600 men in heartbeats? If it were con-
centrated into one explosion 1t would
be sufficient to destroy utterly the Kiel
canal.
Such an explosion, operating in q
moment of time, has never been en-
gineered by man, although nature has
exceeded it many times in her volcanic
energies.
To put it another way, the hearts
of 100000 men force river OF
blood, 900 feet wide and six feet deep.
over course of seven miles in sim
gle hour, and in the course of day
as far as from Liverpool to Edin-
burgh, and in a week as far as from
Paris to Constantinople.

PREVENT INJURY
BY ARMY WORMS
important That Pest Be Discov-
cred Before Crops Have Been
Seriously Damaged.
EXAMINE MEADOWS CLOSELY
Grass or Grain Should Be Carefully
Inspected to Detect Presence of
CaterpIIars-Poisone Bats
May Be Used.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Watchfulness is the key to success
in cases Of invasion by army worms,
which are young of certain moths or
millers that fly only at night. The
eggs from which the army worms
hatch are laid commonly on grasses
Or grasslike grains and the tiny cater
pillars, upon Matching, feed for several
days near the ground, hidden by over
hanging grasses or grains and thus
may escape notice until nearly full
grown, by which time they have be-
come widely distributed over the in
tested fields.
Upon the discovery Of the pest in its
younger stages depends very largely
the possibility of stamping out infes-
tations before serious injury to crops
has occurred. Meadows therefore
should be examined frequently, partic-
ularly those planted to timothy, blue
grass, wheat, and especially millet, to
discover the young worms.
If the infested spot be small, the grass
or grain can be moved off and straw
scattered over the spot and burned,
thus destroying the worms. If the
caterpillars have become distributed
over a considerable area, this can be
marked off by stakes and the crop
sprayed heavily with a solution of
paris green at the rate Of one pound
to SO gallons of water, or of arsenate
of lead at the rate Of two pounds
Of the paste or one pound Of the pow
der to so gallons of water.
Poisoned Bats for the Army Worm.
Poisoned bats have long been used
as means Of destroying the numer-
GUS species of cutworms and also the
army worm. An efficient bait Of this
kind may be prepared and used as fol-
lows: To so pounds Of wheat bran
and one pound of paris green or two
pounds of powdered arsenate Of lead /;
add the juice of one-half dozen Or
anges or lemons. Then bring the
