UNIVERSITY EXTENSION URGES
PRODUCTION OF FIGS IN STATE
(By AseocleIed Pressl

Gainesville, July 5.--A large pro-
duction Of figs for family consump-
ton is advocated by the Florida Ag-
ricultural Extension Division which
says 100000 worth of the fruit was
produced in this state in 1920.
The deliciousness of the fruit is
set forth and the opinion expressed
that almost every home-owner could
have several trees as the fruit is said
to be well adapted to the various types
of soil and climate in Florida.
The Celeste fig is most suited to
Florida, according to C. X. McQuir-
RE, state agent for the Extension Di-
vision, while he names the White
Adriatic and Brown Turkey as second
and third choice. The Black Genoa
fig is adapted to the clay soils Of
North Florida, he, says.

Des Moines, Ia, July 5-From a
different angle, but a no less impor-
tant one, than that of natural par
ents, is the "Parenthood of the
State" to the child Judge Ben B.
Lindsey said tonight in an address
before the national Education asso-
citation here. "This was first ex-
pressed in the struggle for acknowl-
edgment by the state that it was its
duty to educate the child" Judge
Lindsey added. mo one today SER
iously questions this responsibility.
Since that acknowledgment, the State
is becoming more and more the over
parent of the child"
"The next phase of this struggle
concerns the responsibility Of the
State for the health and morals of
the child. Since health and morals
are so nearly related, they may be
considered almost as one.
"The 'Parenthood of the State in
cludes its duty to see that the child
is well born. By strictest kind of
marriage laws, the State must forbid,
as far as possible, the bringing of
children into the world unless they
come from healthy parents. The
child must ID longer be the victim
of conditions overwhich it has no
control but for which society and the
State itself is to blame. When the
State is imperilled, it calls the child
of eighteen to defend it with its life.
When the child is imperilled, it has
a right to call on its over-parent, the
State, to protect it with its wealth.
"The time will come when it will
be regarded as a crime against
childhood if the State permits that
child to suffer from under-nourish-

Watched for Weeks
Higgs has been under surveillance
for several weeks, the authorities
having been informed of his activi-
ties both at Key West and here and
were also informed that the negro
Garvin, publisher of northern ne
gro periodical, met Higgs in Key
West and provided him with the pro-
paganda which he assiduously spread
here and in Key West.
When Higgs was taken from his
house at Cocoanut Grove Friday night
by eight men, his followers and fell
low lodge members started the trou-
Bile which caused nine of their mem
bers to be brought to Miami late Fri
day night and locked in Jail.
According to the story told by
Higgs yesterday morning to Sheriff
Louis A. Allen, Higgs was taken to a
spot on Fl. Lonesome road, four miles
west of Larkin, and there given the
choice of leaving the United States or
taking the consequences.
Lashed With Rope
He was tied and pleced face down.
ward on the ground and a rope end
was used to impress on him an un-
derstanding that the eight men
meant business. A rope was placed
about his neck and he was told, he
informed the officers, that it would
be best for him to leave the United
States and do it speedily. He was
given his choice, he said, and he pro-
missed to leave on the next boat for
Nasssu.
Mr.. Howe said he was satisfied no
local men were involved in the adj
given Riggs. This state
ment was further borne out by an
assertion by Higgs, who declared he
heard no names mentioned, but that
each of the white men was address
ed by an appelation which indicated
he had come from a distnt city, one
being Detective Jacksonville another
Detective Havana, a third Detective
Palatka, and the fourth Detective
Key West. He did not recll the names
applied to the other four.
