Prior to this action, representatives
Of the British embassy had called at

Since that time, 1t became known
today. the state Department has
completely reversed itself as to the
status of the treaties affected by the
Jones act. In its recent announce

to ignore section "a, II was stated
that the treaties in question contain
no provisions for their termination in

BOARD OF TRADE
WILL PASS A MEETING

There will be no meeting of the
Marion County Board of Trade to-
night. There is nothing of particu-
lar Importance to be brought before
the members of the organization at
this time, and it is not deemed wise
to ask the members to meet unless
there is something for them to con-
slider. At present the Board of Trade
has number of projects under way
and an effort will be made to dispose
of some of these before undertaking
new ones. The organization has
enough to keep the secretary and COM
mittees busy, and it is believed best
not to crowd the organizations pro-
gram. If any member of the Board
of Trade has in mind any matter re-
quiring immediate consideration, the
secretary would like to be advised of
it. The next regular meeting of the
will be held two weeks
from tonight.
During the next few weeks there
will be much work to be done in con-
nection with the bond issue for good
roads to be held April 20.

Duty Before the World.

Millions of gallant young men have
fought for the new world. Hundreds
Of thousands died to establish 1t. IL
we fail to honor the promise given to
them we dishonor ourselves. What
does a new world mean? What was
the old world like? 1t was a world
where toll for myriads Of honest work
ers, men and women, purchased moth
ing better than squalor, penury, anx-
iety and wretchedness "a world
SCARED by slums and disgraced by
sweating, where unemployment through
the vicissitudes of industry brought
despair to multitudes of humble
homes; a world where, side by side
with want, there was waste OF the in
exhausdble riches of the earth, partly
through ignorance and want Of fore
thought, partly through entrenched
selflshness. If we renew the lease of
that world we shall betray the heroic
dead. We shall be guilty Of the basest
perfdy that ever blackened a peoples
fame.-David Lloyd George.

to his prestige as candidate and help
him in the primary.
The sender of the dimes for these
votes need not sign his name to the

sary is to say, enclosed herewith so
many dimes for so many votes for
Cary A. Hardee for the most popular
man for governor Address all COM
munications to L. G. Hitchcock, tax
assessor, Jacksonville, personal.
Do not delay attending to this mat
ter at once. The time is short and the
ether candidates are organizing their
forces all over the state to have votes
sent for their men, and unless we get
busy in the new few days. we will lose
this opportunity.

Want SeVen-Cent Coin to

The United States treasury depart

Ing from all sections that a coin be
minted of cent denomination. Many
banks and trust companies are among

as a result of the changed prices. The

out Of existence and II its place is

raise fares to cents; milk and bread
have doubled In price and usually call

equal to, or greater than, those from
staple field crops on the same land.
The best plant for summer pasture
is Bermuda. 1t will survive more
drouth, moisture and abuse than any
other grass that we have. But do not
over-stock it and be sure to keep
down weeds by moving.
The best way to get rid of Bermuda
grass is to smother it with shade. For
this purpose nothing is equal to a
mived crop of cowpeas and velvet
beans. Use one bushel of peas and a
bushel and a half of late beans per
acre and plant broadcast about the
first of April. The peas will cover the
grass until July and then the beans
will furnish shade for the rest of the
summer. AS soon in the fall as the
beans shed their leaves, either Craze
off, or disc down. the bean crop and
plow the land for oats. planting i'm
mediately two and a half bushels of
seed per acre. Then in the spring, re-
peat the operation if much of the
Bermuda shows up. This method is
effective and will kill out the grass en-
tirely, but a good stand of the shade
crops must be secured in order to
keep the ground covered.
