Mr.. p. w. Collens, sditor of the
Symmetrical Chronicle, heard Senator

ments upon it as follows:
Last FRIDAY night, Senator pIncan
i. Fletcher spoke to the people Of
ocala and vicinity The meeting had
been arranged to take place on the
Courthouse grounds, but owing to the
rain the meeting was held in the
doors, many having to stand in the
hallway. Senator Fletcher was intro
duced by Mr. L. W. Duval in few
we'll chosen words. When the senator
arose to speak he was greeted with
a burst of applause which lasted fully
a minute
Mr.. Fletcher is not what one would
call a spellbinder, but a quiet and
convincing speaker. He spoke of his
stewardship in the past five years
and referred to his record; he enumer-
ated each bill in which he was person
ally interested or had presented him.
self for the good of the state of Flor
ida. He also told of the many impof-
tant committees he was On and. ex-
planned to his hearers how long time
it required to be in congress before
a member is appointed to any of the
many important committees.
Mr.. Fletcher was d member of the
banking committee had helped frame
the present Federal Reserve system.
He is the father of the great Farm
Loan measure which is now enabling
the farmers throughout the country 70
borrow money from the Government
at d low rate of interest and on long
time
In speaking Of Mr.. Cats. he showed
the governor up in great shape, but
he did it in a kind of mild sarcasm
which was most convincing and had
the direct proof against the ranting
and tearing Cats. Throughout his
exposure of Mr.. cats he kept the au-
dience in a continual roar Of laughter.
Mr.. Fletcher told the people that
he was before them for reelection
and that if they thought he had done
his duty to his state and the country
he asked their support. At the end of
the speaking the senator held recep-
ton shook hands with his old friends

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

Arthur Woods. chairman of the
National Americanism Commission Of
The American Legion issued the fol-
lowing statement from National Head
quarters of The American Legion, at
Indianapolis:
1T has been brought to my atten-
tion that a plan has been adopted by
the Reds to acquire membership in
the American Legion for the purpose
of finding out what we are doing
against them.
. We welcome into the Legion all
sorts and conditions of men; the only
belief we insist upon is the belief in
Americanism. The Legion has no con-
Germ with political parties or with in
dustrial economic or social theories
so lang as they are consistent with
the principles of Americanism.
The American Legion is against
those who are against America, wheth-
er they be external or internal enc,
mics. If enemies of America become
members of the Legion they do so only
after falsely subscribing to the Lee
gion's declaration of principles.
No real harm, however, can be
done to the Legion or its work of
promoting Amerieanism by the pres
ence in its membership of such per
sons. We are working to promote
public welfare and good citizensht
and the more they find on, about
this work the better 1t will do them
good
They will find it very difficult
yes impossible to convert to belief
in anarchy men of the stuff that
characterizes our membership and they
win run grave risk of being converted
themselves to a belief in law and or
der as a prerequisite to social and
economy justice and happiness.
I'VE welcome in the Legion any
person who has acquired eligibility
by reason of his service in the Great
War and who subscribes to the Con.
stitution. which specifies in the pre-
ambie the purpose Of the Legion.
'To uphold and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States of Amer
lea: to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate one hundred
per cent Americanism; to preserve
the memories and incident of our as
sociation in the Great War: to include
a sense of individual obligation to the
community, state and nation; to COM
bat the autocracy of both the classes
and the masses; to make right the
master of might; to promote peace
and good will on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the princi-
pies of justice. freedom and democ
racy: to consecrate and sanctify our
comradenship by our devotion to mu-
tual helpfulness.'

Neiuhborhood Canning A Success
Plan now for plenty of surplus vege-
tables in year garden
Canning OH the community plan will
not become seasonable until the sum
mer, but it is worth thinking about
now, so that gardens will be planted
on the scale that will insure plenty Of
Surplus vegetables And when can
ming time comes there should be use
in many places for schemes that prov
ed successful last summer in suburb
of Washington, D. G. Here is the plan
as it was reported to the United States
Department of Agriculture:
A group of neighbors arranged for
one of their number to purchase a
canning outfit. consisting of steam
pressure cooker. a small can-sealing
machine. and a supply of sanitary
Gems, the same as are used in the can
ming factories. A surplus of such
crops as tomatoes, string beans, and
sweet corn was grown in the gardens.
| Every few days during the summer
months a canning bee was held, only
one kind of product. as rule. being
| canned on a single day. The canning
/ outfit was set up at one of the homes
where there was plenty of pure water
under pressure, and here the neigh
bors gathered, bringing with them
their vegetables to be canned Some
times the work of preparing the vege-
tables was done at various homes, only
the actual canning being done at the
central place
AS result of this effort several
thousand cans Of vegetables We're pro
vided for the winter, The quality OF
the product was about equal to that
Of the commercial canning factories,
and the number of cans spoiled was
very small
Equipment for up-to- date home can
ming is now so perfected that almost
anyone can use it successfully. It
should be the plan of every home
gardener to grow enough vegetables
the coming season to have surplus
| for canning.

Why Grow. Velvet Beans?

Why Grow VelVer Scans!
The following reasons why velvet
beans should be grown on every farm
in Florida are given by John III.
Scott. of the Experiment Station:
Because the velvet bean is the best
soil improving legume for Florida. 1t
produces a vast amount of leaves and
vines, which add both humus and fer
tility to the soil.
Because an acre of good velvet bean
vines when plowed under. will add as
much ammonia to the soil as will an
application of 1000 pounds of cotton
seed meal
Because the velvet bean is adopted
to Florida soils and produces salts
factory yields of 90 to 80 bushels Of
shelled beans per acre
Because the velvet bean is an i'm
portant protein feed for the produc-
ton of beef and dairy products. and
furnishes excellent winter foraging
for cattle
Because from two to two and half
pounds of velvet beans in the pod will
be found equal for milk production to
one pound Of bright cottenseed meal.

He saw the Arab now throw aside
the empty pouch, and grasping his
long gun by the barrel, clublike, sneak
stealthily through the jungle beside
the trail along which Werper had
gone.
AS the man disappeared from his
view, Tarzan dropped to the ground
and commenced gathering up the

moment that he obtained his first near

CHAPTER XIV.
Jane Clayton Again a Prisoner.

Afugambi, after his successful break
for liberty, had fallen upon hard
times. His way had led him through
country with which he was unfa-
miliar, jungle country in which he
could find no water, and but little
food, so that after several days of
wandering he found himself so re-
duced in strength that he could barely
drag himself along.
A few stagnant pools at considerable
distances apart saved him from death
by thirst; but his was pitiable state
when finally he stumbled by accident
upon large river in q country where
fruit was abundant, and also game
which he might bag by means of a
combination of stealth. cunning, and a
crude knob-stick which he had fash
toned from a fallen limb.
One day. as he hunted, pair of saw
age eyes discovered him from the con-
cealment of the branches of great
tree beneath which the black warrior
passed. Bloodshot, wicked eyes they
were, set in fierce and hairy face.
The creature was ChullS. and he
looked down upon the unconscious
man more in curiosity than in hate.
Chulk eyed the pouch which, suspend
ed over Mugambi's shoulder, swung
beside his black hip. This took his
fancy, FOR it was ornamented with
feathers and a fringe. and so the ape
hung about Mugambi's bona, waiting
an opportunity to seize it either by
stealth or might.
Nor was it long before. the oppor-
tunity came. Feeling safe within his
thorny enclosure Musambi was wont

There was another who had seen
the pouch and recognized it, who adj
vanced with Achmet Eek, lowering
above him, as silent and as sure as
edeath itself. and as the Arab, finding
little spot less overgrown with
bushes than he had yet encountered,
prepared to gloat his eyes upon the
contents of the pouch, Tarzan paused
directly above him, intent upon the
same object.
Wetting his thin lips with his
tongue, Acf1net Eek loosened the tie
strings which closed the mouth of the
pouch, and cupping one clawlike hand
poured forth a portion of the contents
into his palm.
A single look he took at the stones
lying in his hand. His eyes narrowed,
curse broke from his lips. and he
hurled the small objects upon the
ground disdainfully. Quickly ne
emptied the balance OF the contents
until he had scanned each separate
stone, and as he dumped them all upon
the ground. and stamped upon them
his rage grew until the muscles OF his
face worked in demonlike fury, and
his fingers clenched until his nails BIZ
into the flesh.
Above, Tarzan watched in wonder
ment. He had been curious to dis.
cover what all the pow-wow about his
pouch had meant. He wanted to see
