were among the other particularly de-
lightful functions of the week. Mr.
and Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis held
reception on Wednesday night, which
as the last function to be given in
Corcoran House, may almost be said
TO nave historic interest. The fine old
mansion, which has played an i'm
portant part in Washington's social

torn down this summer to make way

Little Season" To Be Busy
The "little season." as the weeks be-
tween Easter and June have come to
be called, will be marked by much
entertaining for the several newcomers
to diplomatic and official society. Mrs.
cambridge Colby, for instance. has
finally reached town, after having been
delayed by the railroad strike. She
has joined Mr.. Colby, the new Secre-
tary of State, at their residence, 1907
K Street, and parties in their honor
are in order. beginning probably with
the dinner which the Ambassador of
Peru and Nine. Pezct will give for
them on April 80. Tho Pezets had a
dinner last week, entertaining for
Senor DR.. Augusta Cochrane de Allen
car, Ambassador Of Brazil. who Is still
rather newcomer to the corps, and
for whom many parties are being
given.
1t used not to be considered good
form for an ambassador to be enter
tanned by official folk until after he
had been received by the President.
But diplomatic etiquette has been con-
ssilderably modified during President
wilson's long illness, and there isn't
one of the large group of foreign en-
voys waiting to present their creden-
tials to the Chief Executive who has not
had score Of parties given for him,
With the possible exception of the
Colbys, the new British Ambassador.
Sir Auckland Geddes, and Lady Geddes
probably will be the most feted of the
newcomers. They arrived in Washing
ton last Sunday and are getting set
tied at the embassy, which has been
redcN-ated and put in order against
tnelr coming. Their children three
boys and girl-did not accompany
tihen!' but will remain in England un-
til tAe schools close.
Nine. Shidehara, wife Of the Japanese
Ambassador, also has arrived to
lloln her husband, her presence at the
Embassy giving earnest Of a revival of
the picturesque festivities for which
tho Japanese are noted. The amba.-
sooor went to the west coast to meet
hef and their two sons when thew
landed in this country.

Memories of Home.

A clerk of a large musical instru,
ment store was sent out Monday after
noon to deliver new banjo to a pur.
chaser, when he was accosted en- route
by dusky man from the South At
first the clerk feared he was about to
be held up, but the man assured him
that he was merely interested in the
banjo and for purely musical reasons.
WhereupOn the clerk opened the case
and allowed the man from the South
to feast his eyes on the gllttering nick
ell plate and shining pearl. Then the
Muse called and, hastily tuning the in
strument, the wanderer struck the
strings a bit uncertainty and then
strummed several melodies associated
with cotton fields and baked possum.
A small audience gathered and even
the clerk was lOath to take the in
strument from its true master. The
man stood for moment gazing after
the messenger and then muttered {:

WARNiEST OF ALL.
Political Meeting Monday Night Was
a Regular Circus.

-
The warmest political meeting
held in Punta Gorda during the cam
paign preceding the primary of Tues
day, and probably the warmest fo
many years, was an event of Monda!
night.
B. G. Lettering, candidate for coun
ty commissioner, of Fort Ogden
came down to make his closing ap.
peal to the voters of Punta Gorda
In the course of his remarke he made
references that were resented by c.
NJ Carrier, and Mr.. Carrier express
ed his resentment in no uncertain
terms-unless there is something I'M
certain about a mans state of mind
when he rises up, shakes his fist at
another and repeatedly declares him
to be a plain, straight-out, unmitigat-
ed liar. Mr.. Lettering asked Mr.. Car
rier to sit down, but this the latter
refused to do and informed Mr.. Letz-
ring that he was not going to have
lies told on him and remain silent.
After Mr.. Lettering had fninshed
his address, a gentleman whose name
was not learned, mounted the truck
and, amid Kisses and laughter from
Mr.. Letzrings friends who accom-
panied him from Fort ogden, de-
nounced Mr. Lettering. Mr.. Lettering
answered the charges of this gentle
man and after he had left the plat
form two young men, whose names
were not learned, mounted the plat
form, and one made a number of
charges against Mr.. Lettering, most
of which were answered.
A large crowd of Fort Ogden folk
accompanied Mr.. Lettering here,
about half of whom seemed to be
friendly and the other half neutral
or othelwi The street was crowd
ed with people and at times it look
ed as if things were going to be too
warm for comfort as charges and
counter-charge were carelessly hurl-
ed from one side to the other. How
ever, there was no disorder and
everyone seemed to be in a good hu-
NOR after all was said and done.
Letzring's friends claim that he gain
ed votes as a result of the meeting
and others claim he didn't. 1t was
some" meeting, anyway, and worth
four times the price of admission.

SAVE WATERMELONS
From Stem. End Rot by Applying
Disinfectant Paste.

Watermelons arriving at the mar.
ket are very commonly found to be
affected with rot at the stem end
This rot sometimes destroys as much
as three-fourths of all melons in a
car, and on the average about 20 Der
cent of the melons are lost, due to
this rot. Mr.. c. M. Tucker is en-
ployed by the Agricultural Extension
Division to assist in preventing I'M
necessary loss.
Last season a car of melons was
shipped from Bowling Green, Fla. to
Minneapolis, Mimi, one-haIf of the
melons were treated with stem end
paste to prevent stem end rot. The
other half was left untreated, as is
the usual practice. Other conditions
in each half were equal. On arrival.
the melons were inspected by the
federal inspector. The treated mel
ons showed about 4 per cent rot, and
the untreated melons showed % per
cent. rot.
To prevent the stem end rot the
INV" ms illSttouiCo oiloulu Dt ODSGIN-
ed:
l. Each week remove the culls
and rotting melons. For this use
cart or wagon which will not be used
for hauling good melons.
2. When cutting melons from the
vines avoid slashing the rind with
the knife. Standing melons on end
often bruises them and causes decay.
Cut the melons with long stems.
3. Pad the wagons used for haul
ing with sacks and straw.
4. The car should have plenty of
dry, clean bedding. The ventilators
should be open.
5. In the car recut the stems to
oEe-half inch, and apply stem end
paste to the freshly cut stem. The
paste is made of blue stone and
starch paste, and acts as disinfec
tant to keep out the rot fungus.
The paste has been distributed to
some railroad agents. If your agent
cannot supply you, write to the Agri-
cultural Extension Division, U. of F.,
Gainesville, Fla.

China's Cotton Industry EXPANDS,

The large profits made by Shanghai
mills and the desire of the Chinese to
make their own cotton goods were the
factors combining to bring about the
unparalleled expansion of the local cot
ton industry. There are now approx
mately 100000 spindles in China.
but replacing the imports of finished
products of various kinds, from yarns
to piece goods, would require 100000
SptndIes. Formerly the predominating
interest in China's cotton mills was
foreign; the development in the last
six months has been almost entirely
native, and when the new factories
are in operation Chinese capital will
be we'll in the lead.
