II every county in Florida had q
road system like that of Polk, what a
Paradise for motorists the State
would be! And how Florida would
I'LL up with people and how Florida
lands would rise in value!
Vice-President Marshall comes to
Florida to open the auditorium of the
Community Forum" at Daytona. He
might have come on down and op-
ened beautiful building in Lakeland,
had not spirit of opposition to all
constructive movements muddied the
waters and prevented its erection.
Nothing would please some people
more than to see the crooks back in
Lakeland this season They are not
going to be allowed here-at least,
the raw, open work of the past two
seasons is not going to be tolerated
again. They and their local friends
had as we'll put this in their pipes
and smoke it.
Had one cent been invested at the
beginning of the Christian era 191s
years ago. at the same rate OF inter
est that a Liberty Bond bears, a
learned professor informs us, it would
now make 100000 globules of solid
gold each the size of the earth,
Look what an opportunity we missed
by not investing a penny; back in
them good old days!" Had we done
so, we could now easily pay off allythe
debts of the world, and still have
enough to buy a dozen eggs and q
side of bacon. Its pretty late. bur
we are tempted to put penny out al

REVERSE METHOD OF NATURE
How Japanese Produce Dwarf Treeo
Which In Many Cases Are Re-
narkably Beautiful.

There Is general impression that
the method of producing dwarf trees is
secret that the Japanese have never
divulged, but the course to he pur-
sued Is really simple. The whole sys-
TEN Of culture may he summed up tls
the reverse Of natures method. II
really consists, not IN The survival Of
the fittest, but rather In the survival
Of the unfittest. A poor, weak seed Is
usually chosen and planted. As soon
as II has attained some growth the
leading shoot Is trimmed of. The lit.
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits a strength and vi
tnllty greater than its fellow. Il Is at
once cut off, and the weaker shoot Is
untouched in order 10 form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk, This
system Of trimming and cutting Is fol-
lowed punctlliously. Water is seldom
used-Only In very small quantities to
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree is kept In pot too small for
Its full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent TO follow
the growth Of large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Jap
aneSe never tire watching the growth
of the tree from day to day. week to
week, and month to month. When the
tree has been growing for about Ave
years. II can then he practically left
to take care Of itself. 1t has become
accustomed to its training, and It's sur.
rOundngs, and, like force of habit, fol-
lows the course laid out for 1t. In this
manner some very magnificent spec.
mems Of dwarf trees are produced
which IN their miniature beauty and
majesty compare favOrably with their
big brothers In the untrained forests.

How TO Retrieve stamn.

Most people do not know that an
unused postage stamp which has been
attached to letter that 1t Is decided,
later not to mail, can be very easily
separated from the envelope 1t cleaves
to--wthout the troublesome soaking In
water that takes time when one wants
to use the stamp in hurry, And most
people do want stamp In hurry.
The trick Is simple enough: Simply
tear the envelope from the stamp in.
stend Of trying to wrest the stamp
from the envelope. Cut the envelope
away from the stamp, leaving just a
margin Of paper for thumb and finger
to grasp; then with the stamp turned
nwuy from you and the paper toward
you, begin to peel. .awny the paper Mt
one corner Of the stamp, then another,
then another. Presently the paper will
be loose at all the edges and n little
care will get 1t quite off the stamp nt
the center, Try this, next time you
want TO use an already pastpd-down
postage stamp and see how easy II is |!

was the "prong-horn" antelope. II has

that this beautiful species must lnev'

Columbia No., Jan. l6-The fact
that most oi the disabled soldiers i1
the University Of Misso-ri are TAX
ing agriculture is pointed out by
Albert R. Gwinn, specialist for the
federal vocational education board, as
proof that large percentage Of the
men seriously wounded in the war were
recruited from the farms. The record
Of the board, he says, SHOWS that approx
imately 40 per cent Of the disabled
men were farmers. AT present the vo.
cational board has lis disabled men
going 10 school here. About $40, 900
is distributed among them monthly.
Seventy Of these men are studying
agriculture, sixty-two Of them in the
non'collegiate course and ten in the
collegiate course.

barometers is a SPIDERS web. When

is variable. If Il elongates its threads

HOW 1T is POSSIBLE TO
iO ~ RECORD EMOTIONS

~ RECORD EMOTIONS
OF CERTAIN VEGETABLES.
Did YOU know that vegetables
can write? An Indian scientist,
who has made a very close study
of vegetables, has invented an
elaborate instrument through
which vegetables record their
emotions In visible marks and
dots.
AS, In the ordinary course of
events, 1t would take too long to
walt for the emotions to occur
(fOr vegetables do not pass
through such rapid emotions as
human beings), the scientist In
duces the emotions, reading"
Subsequently, the vegetables re-
marks upon the subject.
This scientist excites the veg.
etable, and Its excitement Is
plainly shown by the manner In
which It writes its dots. He be-
nrunbs 1t with potassium cya-
nide. The "pen" writes nothing.
He makes II drunk by admins
tering intoxicating vapors, and
the dots are as struggling as a
toper's foostepsl
Finally, he kills the vegetable
hy heat. The dots descend as
the temperature rises. At 140
degrees Fahrenheit the dots
bound suddenly upward. This
Is the final spasrh--Ths vege-
table is dead.
Astonishing as this may ap-
pear, II Is less surprising, scien-
lists say, when It is realized what
a fine line divides the animal and
vegetable kingdoms.

 The National Tuberculosis Associa tion estimates that ii5.0 GOO out oi every million active cases of tnber culosis in the United States could be cured fl facilities were provided for early diagnosis and treatment Thls statement is us peculiar importance to Arkansas since more than 8 ag0 deaths annually fin this state are due to tuberculosis
 In arriving al this conclusion. the National Tuberculosis Association es. inmates that there are at least seven cases of tubereulos.s for every annual death in the United States On this basis, one-seventh of the million liv. Ing active cases would prote to be reasonably incipient Estim. .es made by reliable authorities indicate that tuberculosis is curable if discovered early in as high as so per cent of the cases. On this basis there are ap- proximately 115.00O curable con sumptives in this country. In addi. ton, the National Associa .,on esti- mates that there are probably another l50,000 of the 100000 that could be restored to reasonable degree of working efficiency, and that a great deal of benefit could be given to the remaining cases if facilities were available for that purpose.
 The facilities needed, according to the National authorities estimates. in. clude dispensaries, visiting nurses medical consultants, and travelling clinics for the early discovery and diagnosis of tuberculosis. In addition they include sanatoria, hospitals and facilities for home treatment of every case thus discovered. They also in clude adequate financing of boards of health with full time health officers in every community.
 At the present time there are not half enough facilities in the country to provide for these needs The in- vestment of a few million dollars in proper provision for the care of the tuberculous, says Dr. Charles J. Hat field, Managing Director of the Ma. tional Tuberculosis Association, would produce very large returns to the American people. The returns would come not only in improved health. but in improved earning ca pacity of hundreds of thousands of tuberculosis victims"
