Chinese Adopt United States Idea.

There are about 150 Chinese women and girls in New York city, a few of them students, but most of them wives, mothers and daughters of merchants and other business men. These wom- en will some day carry back to Chi ma western ideas and methods, and es- pecially the practices aof American women. They are interesting them selves in everything that American women do. "We are hoping to learn of the best elements in American wom- anhood," says one of their leaders, "and at the same time to retain our ideals of Chinese civilization" This is a Chinese branch of the Y. ". c. A. that will train women in citizen ship, American customs, organized rec reation. physical exercise and all the usual lines of activity.

ROAD SIGNS EASY TO FOLLOW
Comprehensive System Soon to Be Put in Effect on the Highways
 of France.

A new system of road marking, born of the war, Is to be put into effect in France as soon as may be practical. It provides for road signs which those who ride in fast automobiles may read en passant. On both sides of the fighting lines these great staring signs, painted on wall or on large bulletin boards, were put at all road functions. They were not esthetic, but we can count on the French to improve that. The new plan provides for boards at least q yard in length on which the name of the place where 1t Is posted shall be painted full size-white on a blue ground, with only slightly smaller in- dications-names and distances in kilometers-of the next place in either direction. The kilometer stones by the roadside are to have distinctive colors marking the main road and one has only to follow the red or the blue or the green to keep to the road. One suspects this is a relic of the system first employed in America by paint ing the telegraph poles along main roads distinctive colors.

ASSOCIATION FOR
PROTECTION OF SAVINGS
Ponzi High Finance FiascO Taught
People of Boston Needed
Lesson
(Associated Press)

Boston, Nov. 2.-An organization
to promote thrift and to protect saw
ings has been incorporated here as an
outgrowth of the wartime conserva-
ton campaigns and the recent Ponzi
high finance fiasco. It viii be known
as the Association for the promotion
and Protection of Savings and will
combine with the encouragement of
safe investment an educational pro-
gram to combat quick-rich schemes.
At the head of the association is
Alfred L. Aiken. former governor Of
the federal reserve bank in this city.
Those associated with him include
leaders in the thrift, liberty loan and
other campaigns of recent years. The
association viii cooperate with the
work of the savings division of the
treasury department. but its activities
will be distinct from any government
branch.
The educational department will
tie divided into school and home eco
nomic sections, the former covering
education in thrift in colleges, public,
private, parochial. normal and voca-
tional schools and the latter working
with women's organizations, fraternaI
bodies. the army and navy, the pro-
fessions and the churches.
The business department viii be
divided into industrial and CONNER
Icial, agricultural and banking sec
tons. The Industrial and commercial
section will work with labor unions,
associated industries, the wholesale
and retail trades, Americanization
committee and the Young Mems
Christian Association industrial sec
Iretaries. The agricultural section will
be concerned with the oranges and
farm bureaus and the banking section
will have its work with the savings
rational, trust company and co-operas
tive. banks, insurance and investment
banking accounts and trust com
panies.

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

Interesting to cane syrup produc-
.eTs lis the announcement from the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton that a process has beer worked
out by the bureau of chemistry for
making syrup that viii not ferment
or turn. to sugar. We have q letter
from the chief chemist, explaining
the precess and offering to give DEM
c8strations of the method to the
farmers. of this county if they are in-
Iterested. AS soon as definite plans
for these demonstrations can be
worked out, we will advertise the
meeting places and dates.
The great trouble with syrup has
been that when made thin enough not
to crystallize it would ferment IN
summer and when made thick so as
to prevent fermentation it would
turn to sugar. Either trouble is an
obstacle to handling syrup IN bulk and
has made necessary the practice Of
using air-tight containers with pro-
per sterilization. The new method
involves the use Of little extract Of
yeast when the cane juice IS boiled
down half way to syrup arid leaving
it to stand unfinished for twelve
hours when the cooking III resumed
and carried on in the regular way.
The extra expense is very small, but
extra barrels or tanws viii be requir-
cd. and a second kettle or pan where
large amount of syrup is to be
made.
Now is the time to select the hens
for laying the eggs from which TO
raise pullefs next year. The hens
that have been laying all summer
and fall and have not yet fully moult-
ed are the good layers. They haven't
shed their feathers because they have
been laying. Those hens that n1olted
along from July to September are the
poor layers. They shed OF then be-
cause they stopped laying and had
nothing else to do. They viii never

from them to raise pullets

pruned as soon as the leaves have

the vines improves the crop of grapes
and tends to lengthen the life Of the

FLORIDA STANDS BY THE POLITICAL
FAITH Of THE Fathers
Opposition by the Republicans Seems
to Have Only Stirred Democrats Up.

Owing to the length of the ballot,
there being four ballot boxes with
unequal numbers of tickets cast. caus-
ing different sets of inspectors to
finish at widely different times, it is
impossible to tel accurately what the
v1te in Ocala is. twenty hours after
The polls closed.
Enough is known however to say
that both the bond amendment and
the republican ticket were heavily de-
faated.
AT least 1408 votes were cast, of
which something over 400 were color
ed. This is more than has often been
cast at an election in the entire
county. The colored people were VeTy
quiet and orderly. They voted mostly
for republican electors and L. R.
Hampton, their candidate for the
Legislature. c. w. Hunter. demo-
cratic candidate for representative,
received fourteaa votes from the ne
groes, and L. r. Hampton received
eight votes from the whites. The coll
|ored people voted heavily against the
amendment.
The whites voted democratic by a
hAge majority, and against the
amendment at least five to one.
Returns from several country pre-
cincts showed about the same pro-
portion as in the city-democratic
and against bonds.
sMr. r. B. Meffert was elected coun-
ty commissioner by large majority
It viii take a long time to tabulate
the result of the election. but enough
is known to make it certain the state
went democratic by a big majority,
and from all returns available. the
bond amendment is defeated. Alachua
county went against it almost as
heavily as Marion.
