1t is reported on good authority
that orange growers in the Punta
Gorda vicinity are even now selling
their crops on the trees. Contract
prices are given at 81 rs to $1.T5 per
box for oranges on he trees, grape
fruit prices not stated. The with
drawal of the Exchange from Punta
Gorda appears to have had something
to do with these sales.

The Boy and the Cigarette

The Boy was ten years old; the
cigarette about ten minutes. The Boy
weighed ninety pounds; the Cigarette
less than a quarter of an ounce. The
Boy could walk about, and talk, and
read and think. The Cigarette could
do nothing but shoulder when some
one put lighted match to it. Yet the
little Cigarette threw the Boy down.
took him prisoner, made q slave of
him, and worse than this in the end,
as you shall see.
1t makes no difference what kind Of
Cigarette it was. Afy kind will do.
But it makes a great deal of differ
ence what kind of Boy it was, for
there is only one kind of boy to whom
the little Cigarette could have done
these terrible things. We have all
seen him. There are some Of thar
kind in every town and village; some
in every school. He is not very
smart Boy. In fact he is not smart
at all. In fact he is very stupid, weak
and foolish. But if he is not smart,
he thinks he is. I should call him
not smart, but "smarty."
He is very impatient to be a man,
and he thinks he can be a man all
at once by copying the mans habits
and doing just as he does. This would
be all right if he would copy the
best things the man does, but the
"smarty' Boy thinks it is manly to
smoke, spit, swear, make bets. talk
loud, brag, stay out nights, in short
to do the silliest things that the sill
Hest men do-zfor all these things are
silly, and men or boys who do them
are very silly, Though they often think
hey are very clever.
The Boys father did his best to
prevent him from falling into the
tobacco trap. No. am wrong. He
did not do his best, for he smoked
himself, and SO set the Boy bad ex-
ample in his own home. But he
warned the Boy against it, and told
him 1t would do lot of mischief
to his health and reputation. He
pleaded with him not to smoke at
least until he was twenty-cne, and
even offered him a gold watch and a
hundred dollars If he would not.
But the Boy was wiser than his ia
tier. Most of the "smarty" boys are

fairly good crop after being sprayed.

ARMY EQUIPMENT IS
ORDERED RETURNED FOR
ROAD BUILDING
VIII Be Distributed Free Among the
State Highway Departments Re.
quest Of Agricultural Department

At the request of the Department
of Agriculture the War Department
has ordered to be returned from
| France as soon as possible large
quantity of engineering equipment to
be distributed by the Department Of
Agriculture, through the bureau Of
Public Roads, to the states for use in
| the construction and maintenance Of
Federal-aid highways.
The equipment will be distributed
tc the states without charge, in ac-
cordance with recent legislation en-
towering the Secretary of War to
turn over to the Secretary of Agri-
culture surplus military equipment
not needed for military purposes but
valuable in highway construction
work.
The equipment will be apportloned
on the basis of the allotments in the
Federal Aid Road Act, in the same
way that 10000 army motor trucks
are now being distributed by the Blu
reau of Public Roads at the request
of the State highway departments.
Much Equipment Needed
The equipment which the Secretary
of War has been requested to return
from France includes about 1900 ca
terpillar tractors; about 400 road
rollers, steam and gas driven; and
large number of concrete mixers, road
graders, elevating graders, rock
crushers, industrial locomotives. in
dustrial railway track, dump cars,
steam shovels, hosting engines, cleo
trio motors and quantities of smaller
equipment.
In his letter requesting the return
of this equipment the Secretary of
Agriculture said:
"The highway construction program
which the Federal government and
the States propose to begin immedi-
ately is the largest public undertake
ing contemplated in the near future.
1t offers an immediate field for the
employment of labor and the use of
materials that will help to stabilize
business along a number of lines.
TIE work has been expanded SO sud-
denly that it has not been possible
to make adequate provision for fur
nishing the necessary equipment, and
previously all the available supply
was absorbed by the demands Of the
War Department.

heard all this and laughed in its
sleeve.
The Boy tried the Cigarette. 1t
made him very sick and he didn't
care to smoke again. But the other
"smarty' boys all laughed at him
and called him molly coddle, and OF
course no "smarty" boy could stand
that.
At twelve he was swallowing the
smoke and blowing it out of his nose
and Dragging about it.
At thirteen he was spending
about half of his pocket money for
Cigarettes. He couldn't buy them OPP
emily at the shop, but the other boys
knew how to get them and told him.
At fourteen he tried to get job
in a store. The man looked at him
sharply and said, do you smoker
NO" said the Boy. Said the man.

showed them. Said the man. "You
smoke Cigarettes, and you have lied
about it; don't want you
At fifteen he began to grow thin
and pale. His father and mother
worried, and sent for the doctor. The
doctor looked at him sharply and said
"How long have you been smoking
Cigarettes?" Said he Boy, mot very
long, and I don't smoke much--only
with the other fellows when they are
smoking" Said the doctor, "Stop
it," The Boy was frightened and
tried to, and found that he couldn't,
or thought he couldn't.
But he was mistaken. At sixteen he
stopped 1t, and never smoked again.
The people said at the funeral that he
died of general weakness. The doc
tor looked wise and said nothing.
His mother cried, his father and the
schoolmaster and the minister won
dered that the poor Boy could have
been SO foolish, and the little Cigar
cite laughed in its sleeve.

result Of conference which I have
just held with the executive commit
tee of the American Association OF
State Highway officials, at which 1t
was represented that the various
States are very anxious to secure ad-
ditional equipment of the kinds indi-
Gated.
II am thoroughly in sympathy with
the efforts that are being made by
the War Department to aid returning
soldiers in securing employment and
l am convinced that If the equipment
and supplies listed are made avail
able it will facilitate highway con-
struction, and thereby stimulate the
employment of labor"

EXPECTING TOO MUCH

A woman not so very long in tn,
town came home very lndlgnan: re-

knowing her at all, refused to receive
and cash a check fer her. She re
marked that he need not worry about
her honesty. l don't believe there Is
any one in this town that pays their
bills more promptly than I do OF
more careful about money matters
than I am. Now the check was quite
disable, but the clerk had never seen
the woman before. OF course the
lady looked honest enough and so do
a good many people. If he had made
mistake he would likely have los.
his position in that store and would
have been called upon to make good.
If the check was forgery. What he
suggested to her was to bring in
some one he knew to identify her, but
she was in too much Of a hurry and
flew out in huff.
Now that is altogether unreasop.
able for any one to take offense at
such matter and yet one often finds
people of just this type. For instance,
I once knew young Miss who would
get very hot because the conductor
of street car would not allow her
to get off before the car came to a
full stop. She was a very athletic
young woman and knew enough to

claimed that she was no more liable
to harm than the men who were al
lowed to get off before the full stop.
When the conductor put out his arm
to stop her from getting on the car
step she became very indignant with
him. She seemed to lack the reason
that the conductor could not be
blamed for her action toward her. He
had his orders what to do and also
has his place to look out for. He
is not supposed to know of her abil-
ity to get on or off car and knows

ableness is the resentment of the
woman who has charge account at
the store where coins are given for
credit to safeguard the clerks and
accounts and who objects when the
clerk will not allow her to take away
goods on approval without her coin
check which she had unfortunately
left at home. We wonder il she
would want some other one to &c;

PRAISE FOR THE POLICE
FROM 0DELL 5. Smith

Been on the Job" in Trying
Situation.

TOO much praise cannot be given
to the magnificent spirit and team
work Of the police department Of

gency of Sunday and Monday nights"
Odell 8. Smith, deputy director of the
Rome Defense League, said today.
ut has been my privilege" he said.
ito have lived with the police depart
ment during the last trying nights
to know the plans of it's chief and to
see their fulfillment in the work OF
the officers and men. On Monday last
martial law seemed the only thing
to some that could be solution to
g. fast-growing bad condition OF
seeming race hatred which gave
promise to wreck the entire quietude
Of the nations capital and result in
murder and bloodshed on vast scale
The decision of the superintendent of
police, the District Commissioners
and the government advisers to re-
frain from their last resort to main
tain order has proven most sat1sfac-
tory and gratifying and has justified
a wise policy.
The War and Navy departments
have co-operated by furnishing to as
sist the police the very best of officers,
men and equipment. The Home De-
Tense League has proven it's worth.

man, has been on the job. Many of
the men have not seen their homes
since Friday of last week except for
meals.
Not a complaint Of WEAKNESS or
overwork has gone up from man in
the department. Cool-headed. eager to
serve, forgetting everything else for
the time being, their one thought has
been to serve the community. save
lives and restore the city to it's usual
peaceful and normal condition.
I'm my residence of thirty years in
this city, ten years of which time has
been devoted to public order work to
a large degree, which has thrown me
in more or less contact with the police
department, no emergency has arisen,
in my opinion, which has called for
such quick action. generalship and con-
tInuous hard work.
The men have responded willingly
and loyalty" he concluded, Ito the or
ders OF their chief Maj. Pullman is to
be congratulated on having such a
loyal and well trained police force"
