HOME OF THE WATERMELON
Monticello, in Florida, Rightly Claims
to Be Worlds Greatest Market
for the Seed.

Jefferson county, Florida, of which
Monticello is the county seat, is the
home of the watermelon seed indus
try of the United States" declares the
Monticello News. ''It could be sait
that this is the home of the industry
for the world, for this county grows
more watermelOnS for seed purposes
than any other section, and more wa
termelons are grown in North Amer
lea than anywhere else"
The News gives some figures on the
proposition and no doubt good many
people would be surprised to know
that of the ten thousand acres utilized
in the United States for growing wa
termelons for seed. Jefferson county
Florida, has more than eight thousand
acres busy toward that end. 1t is the
only place in the world where an or
der for a carload of watermelon seed
can be filled-and such orders are
often filed and the cars go out OF
Monticello.
Florida is a wonderful state. The
balance of the country might be able
to get along without us, but they
wouldn't have nearly as good a time
as they do now.-Florida Times-Union

Roosevelt as a Writer.

in an article on Theodore Roosevelt
in the Yale Review, Henry A. Beers
says of him as writer:
"Mr. Roosevelt produced much eX-
cellent literature, but no masterpieces
like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
second inaugural. - Probably his
sketches of ranch life and of hunting
trips in three continents will be read
longest and will keep their freshness
after the public questions which he
discussed have lost interest and his
historical works have been in part re-
written. In these outdoor papers, be-
sides the thrilling adventure which
they-very mOdestly-record, there
are even passages of descriptive beau
ty and chapters of graphic narrative,
like the tale of the pursuit and cap
ture of the three robbers who stole
the boats ON the Missouri river which
belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

Classics Lose French Favor.

Changes in the system of examina-
ton for the French degree of licent-
late of letters are under consideration
at the ministry of public instruction.
Some faculties consider that Latin or
Greek should be obligatory for all can
didates, while Others think that class
les might be omitted in the case of
candidates who do not undertake to
use the degree for obtaining post
as teacher
Such d degree would meet the re-
quirements of American students. who
are now very numerous in France.

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
