The French Premiership.

Who is likely to succeed Clemen-
ceau as French premier? M. L. X.
The successor of M. Clemenceau,
should he retire as premier at the
final conclusion of peace, is not now
a certain matter. Andre Tardieu
has been prominently mentioned
however, and survey Of his record
furnishes evidence of his fitness for
such high position. For nearly two
years during the war he resided in
Washington as French high COM
missioner in the United States. Pre-
vious to his appointment to this post
NJ Tardieu had visited the United
States, lectured at it's universities,
studied its political life, interviewed
it's statesmen and publicists, and put
himself on record in book giving his
impressions of what he saw, heard
and felt. In the early part of the
war he saw active service, especially
before Nerdun, and was cited in
army reports for bravery. He is
known as a journalist, as former ed
itor of LIE Temps, and as diplomat.

POLK CORN CLUB
BOYS MAKE GOOD

The history of the Boys Corn Club
work in Polk county dates back to
1915 when A. A. Lewis of Kathleen,
was appointed county agent, and
took up the boys club work as his
first duty. Mr.. Lewis visited the
schools throughout the county and
gave every boy an opportunity to en-
roll as a member of the corn club, IN
order to demonstrate the better meth
ods of growing corn. AS result OF
his first efforts. 81 boys took up the
work and each one measured off an
acre of land as his first demonstra-
ton Mr.. Lewis continued to visit
the boys during the growing season
and gave them instructions as to how
to conduct their work. AT the end
of the year each one was advised to
select 10 ears from his field and bring
them to contest in order to deter
mine the results of the first years
work. Twenty-three boys reported at
this first county contest, each one
producing record of his work.
Their total yield was 1919 bushels
of corn grown at total cost OF
$354.97. This was an average yield
of 4O.7 bushels per acre with an av
erage cost of 81 cents per bushel. We
should remember that the average
yield of corn grown by farmers dur
ing that year was only Is bushels
per acre. This makes very cred

20, 1918, AT WINTER HAVEN

There is a loved one gone to Heaven;
Yes, we loved so well:
She left us in December
In her Fathers home to dwell.
Our thoughts are ever of her,
So kind, SO sweet and true;
Her life was of beauty,
A blessing to all she knew.
To give up one so lovely
In character and face
Without a silent murmur
Takes so much faith and grace.
We know she was happy here
And longed for her to stay,
But her kind and Heavenly Father
Has beckoned her away.
We would not call her back again,
We would not have it thus,
For she watches DER us daily
And breathes a prayer for US
She prayers that mother, father.
Sisters, brother and loved ones toe
Will lead the Christians life below
And some day meet her, too.
If they will only follow
In the path that she has tread
They will have the JOY of knowing
/ That she lever liveth" and Is not
dead.
Her memory will always be dear tc
AS long as the years roll or
Because her short life with us
Was sweet and beautiful song.
And the angels will put to music
To the deeds that she did here
And Heaven will be brighter
And nearer because Eloi5e is there.
