Basheen Comes to Aid Of Potato.
The first carload of American-groam
dasheens recently arrived n New York.
They were grown on the east coast Of
Florida. Owing to the limited quanti-
ties shipped p market at present the
vegetable, which is recommended as 4
substitute for the potato in locations
where that crop can not Be grown, IS
high in price, selling for as much as IS
cents a pound in New York within the
past week.
The Trinidad dasheen, which is a
particularly fine favored variety Of
the taro,. is one Of 5000 foreign
plants introduced into the United
States BY the Department Of Agricul-
ture. Il was brought here in the be-
lief that il would yield tie South a
tuber crop which could be used 10 sup

more protein than the potato.
Dasheens can not Be grown II the
North. but they are finding favor a.
mong consumers in that section H the

the new tubes, even at the high prices.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST RTE
BY Joe Earman in Palm Beach Post. J

Some candidates will be convinced
that there are more liars than voters
to the square mile.
There will be joy and ecsfacy in
some quarters.
There will be the pail Of gloom and
despair in other quarters.
There will be soreness that will
skin any boil that ever erupted.
Certain checks that covered cam
palgn expenses will be hung in
frames of gold and will always be
looked at with "glee" and the kindly
thought didn't | give EN- help
Other cancelled checks will be salt
ed away in the musty recesses of
dusty desks and when 'gaped"at from
time to time with the vicious thought
what a bonehead I was-once. but
never again.
TO some, lemon juice will be sweet
nectar.
10 others, sugar will be as bitter
as gall.
Some candidates wives will haya
new dresses.
Other candidates wives will find
their husbands hard to get along
with.
Such is politics.
Such is life.
To be shore.

PLAYTIME
(By Edgar A. Guest.)

The only real time for fun
is when you know your work is done
Who leaves neglected tasks behind
Fakes with MIN an uneasy mind,
Rut he can sing along his way
Who earns the right to rest and plav
The sweetest hours of joys are those
Which every weary toiler knows
The holidays which now and then
Shine through the lives of busy men
When, free from. care. and duty's
grind,
They leave the daily tasks behind.
There is no real joy in play
For him who knows that he should
stay
And keep his post, however sweet
The pleasures he has gone to meet,
Because forever on his mind
Tire lies the task he left behind.
He only knows the thrill Of fun
VINO plays not till his work is done
Then he may wander fancy-free
And claim the joy. whate'er it be,
knowing the laughter and delight
Which come 70 him are his by right.
Sod grant that when l come to rest,
With life's sun sinking in the west
And the last bugle call is blown
By dutys herald, l may own
The right to turn from toll and rest
knowing that I have done my best.

tenn enough is known to insure that
Florida has redeemed herself from the
influence of Cattsism, and that the
cratic political career of the father
of that cult in Florida has come 70
final and decided close.
Duncan U. Fletcher will continue
to serve Florida and the nation in the
SEINE able and effective manner az in
the past and the threat that he might
DC supplanted by mountebank who
would make the state laughing
stock is happily removed.
herbert j. Drane has been re-
turned to Congress by decisive ma
]ority. There has never been anv
doubt as to this result, but the fact
that all over his district the people
nave rallied to him despite the fat.
that ne mad a strong and popular man
as ms opponent, is a gratifying testi-
monial to his distinguished services
Perhaps the most important matter
10 oe decided in yesterdays election
as affecting most directly the interests
OF the people and the credit and prog.
ress OF the state, was the selection of
q Governor. In choosing Cary Har-
zee TO this responsible and honorable
position the people have acted WISE
~, and they have insured that the
state will have a chief executive n
"nom they can take pride instead Of
one whom they are compelled TO
blush for and apologize for. Cover
nor Hardee will restore State self-re-
spect and substitute business meth
ods and dignifed policies for the slim
