Already many requests for copies
OF the premium list are being received
at the headquarters of the fair in this
city. These requests, which are com
ing from all points in Florida, as well
as neighboring and far distant states,
indicate a widespread interest in Flor
ida's big exposition, which this year
will eclipse all past fairs held in this
state.
The distant states from which these

Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts.
Georgia South Carolina, Michigan,
the District of Columbia and even far
away Island of Guam.

Large numbers are expected to take
advantage Of the exceptionally low
rates to visit the Fair, which will be
well worth the time and money spent
to attend.
The State Fair this year combines
features and attractions making it in
reality a combined short course for
farmers and stockmen, a circus and
a race meet. A first class track will
be completed in ample time for the
Fair this year.
Added attractions, coupled with the
low rates, should bring a record at.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR

At evening, when the lamp is lit
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing
And do not play at anything.
Now with my little gun, 1 crawl
All in the dark along the wall, 17
And follow round the forest track
Away behind the sofa back.
There in the night where none cal
spy,
All in my hunters camp lie,
And play at books that have read,
Till it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these the woods
These are my starry solitudes;
And there the river; by whose brink
The roaring lions come to drink.

AS if in firelit camp they lay,
And I, like to an Indian scout,
Around their party prowled about.
So, when my mother comes to me,
Home I return across the sea,
And go to bed with backward looks
At my dear land of Story Books.

RECONSTRUCTION IN AFRICA

We hear great deal now about re-
construction in the war-rent countries
of Europe, but few Americans dream
that there is need Of anything of the
kind in far-away Africa. Let them not
forget that the belligerents of Europe
have colonies in Africa where san
culinary struggles also took place.
The Missionaries we're scarcely able
to pay for the ordinary expenses of
their missions in pre-war times and
now they are incapable Of meeting
the present crisis. The cost of living
has risen as. high in Africa as it has
elsewhere, and the cost of Transports
ton is double that of the articles trans
ported.
To mention but two among the many
mission stations that we're pillaged,
there are Kayambi and Chilubula in
the Vicariate, Of Mgr. Larue, who sends
a distressing appeal for help.
The losses incurred at these sta
tons are estimated at $8,000-a big
sum for poor African Missionaries! AT
Kayambi the Fathers and Sisters had
hardly time, on the night Of Novem-

was signed, to escape into the forest

The age of plaeeable children may
be briefly stated as follows: Boys
to and including the age of fourteen;
girls to and including the age of ten.
The placing of girls over ten years
of age, particularly where there are
other children in the family, does not
give promise of good results. The
most fragrant exploitation of child
labor and neglect Of scholastic train
ing occurs in the cases Of girls be-
tween the ages of ten and fifteen.
The experience of placing-out agen-
cies will show that the most success
full results occur in the cases of chill
dren below the age of five years.
The fundamental extract from the
resolutions adopted by the Internation-
al Conference on Child Welfare, held
under the auspices of the Children's
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment Of Labor, in May, 1919, may be
offered as a proper guide for persons
of any creed or lack of creed who
undertake to provide for the future
welfare of children.
Parent and Child.
Parent and child should not be sep.
arated because of temporary disab-
ility. If poverty, illness or even i'm.
proper guardianship makes it neces.
sary to give the child temporary care
nothing should be done to cause def
mite and continuous separation, il
there is hope of rehabilitating the
parent and again restoring the normal
relation. AS the natural order pro
vides for the parental care, based
| upon love and affection, for the support
and training of the child, it also de
mands reciprocal service for the
aged based upon filial love and duty
when, therefore, there is possibility
! of reuniting parent and child, such
