Cow Was Frozen Up.

Little Howard had been accustomed
to going for milk to a neighbor who
kept a cow.
One winter day he was told that the
COW had gone dry and he could have
no more milk until spring. The little
fellow lost no time in rushing home
and exclaiming to his mother: "Oh
muvver, the cows frozen up and he
won't have no more milk till spwing."
Vanilla grows on rock soil and the
plants obtain their chief sustenance

DR.. II. L. Cortis, one of the greatest

1t is interesting to note the progress
made since DR.. Cortis first developed
the speed mania. The fifty-nine-inch

Don't Feed WeeviIs, Kill Them

The Florida corn crop is fast ma
turing and a few weeks should be
harvested. AS a general thing, Flor
ida farmers allow corn to stay in the
field too long. 1t should be gathered
as soon as it is thoroughly dry, as it
is attacked by numerous enemies
birds, molds, weevils, etc. Further
more, the longer it stands the more
dificult to gather, as the fields grow
up in weeds or velvet beans.
The most serious enemy of corn is
the weevil These fly to the corn
from other vegetation where they
have been feeding, and lay their eggs
In kernels. The eggs hatch into small
grubs which live inside the kernels.

|;ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Six months ago l became
! acquainted with a young man
with whom l fell in love. Re
Gently, while attending a dance,
he disgraced himself by engaging
In an argument with another
man. When l asked him for an ,
explanation he refused to an
swer. i told him / did not wish
to see him again, and whenever
he called l refused to see him.
Yesterday / heard through a
friend that the reason he fought
at the dance was that the other
. man, had made insulting remarks
about me. / have heard that this
young man expects to go to Sc
attic shortly, where he will re-
main for about q year. / would
like very much to see him and
apologize for the way I have
treated him. but do not think 1t
proper under the circumstances
to ask him to call. Will you
kindly tell me the best thing for
me to do? w. Won B.
YOU were hasty in your judg.
ment. AS q matter OF fact,
however little you liked the mans
actions at the dance, was 1t decent
to snub him when he came to see
you? You owe him a deep and
humble apology. Perhaps he did
lose his temper and indulge in
what you call a shameful argu-
ment, but you held on to your
wrath and rancor day after day.
II you want to see the man write
him how sorry you are that you
hadn't a little more breadth of
vision than to act as you did. Tell
him you now know how brave and
chivalrous he was - first to fight
for you and then to refuse to de-
fend himself by telling you the
truth at the cost of hurting your
feelings. Tell him that you hope
he will make another call at your
home-this one at your invitation.

THE NEED OF EXERCISE
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

Very many of our adult disabil-
tiles. indeed, are founded upon the
lack Of systematic physical train
ing in youth. FL,
Children should not take vigor-
Gus exercise directly after eating a
hearty meal, but neither should they
exercise upon empty stomachs.
School children should be allowed
to play In the school yard, unsuper-
vised. before the opening hour, ar at
intervals during the school period
Supervised games and exercises
should be practiced during the
morning session. The competitivc
games and athletics should come
after school hours.
Any system of physical training
which includes walking and swim
ming will be the most generally
beneficial.
