This is a story with a moral There is money

opinion of some of our friends, it will grow about
equally well in every part of Florida.
Instead of few localities devoted to that fruit.
it should be grown in every agricultural center,
and shipped from every station. That might cut
the price below the present truly exorbtant figure
but the difference would be far more than made
up in the bulk of sales. Florida would get lots of
money and the outside world would get lots of the
best fruit in the world.
For the strawberry is the genuine queen of
fruits. Raw or cooked, fresh or canned with
CT without cream, the strawberry is always de-
licous. Nobody has the slightest idea how many
car loads it would take to supply the market for
although there have been temporary "gluts' there
has never been time when the American people
whole had all of this fruit they wanted.
There is room in Florida for unlimited expan-
SIGN. The grower of moderate means and modest
ambitions, by combining strawberries with bees
and poultry, keeping the latter closely confined
in the picking season, can make more clear money
on hve-acre farm here than he could dig out
of forty acres in the northern farming regions, and
enjoy good deal more life while doing it.

NO SETTLEMENT AT ALL

he public is being treated to a lot OF punk
about the proposed four-power agreement to set
tie the eastern question. 1t is being heralded as
something new-the triumph of the inventive gen.
ius OF the conference and the glory of the Amer
lcan state department. AS a matter of fact the
idea is not new. 1t has been discussed before, and
could have been put any time if the other
powers the benehcares of the arrangement, had
supposed America would fall for it, Bunk delivery
reached its climax Thursday when the press was
treated to scarehead story to the effect that
Japan accepted the proposal.
AS it was mainly Japan's proposal there was
some reason to expect she would accept it: and
as Great Britain had seen in it the means of
getting down gracefully >from the bizarre position

hope that London cables would be favorable. AS

HEADACHE POWDERS
(By DR.. r. H. Bishop

(By DR.. r. H. Bishop
1t is ignorance that prompts so many women
to hasten Immediately for pills or powders when
their heads begin to ache
If it were not ignorance they would know that
a headache is always a symptom of something
more serious. Therefore, instead of resorting to
headache powders, the thing to be done is to
find out at once what is wrong and correct it..
1t is a strange fact that headache may come
from any one of dozen ailments and it is often
extremely difficult to locate the exact seat of the
trouble. There may be defective teeth or eye
strain, they may be irritation in the nasal pas
sages, or it may be the first evidence of a brain
tumor.
1t may signify disease of the kidneys, or of the
arteries. 1t may mean poisoned blood, whether
from tea. lead, tobacco or intestinal toxins. 1t
may mean an Impoverished blood as in anemia,
or it may mean fatigue of the nervous system
which is called neurasthenia
Often the immediate of a headache is
overstimuaton of the heart. Undue heart stimu
lation accompanies a number of organic disturb
ances and results in abnormally high blood pres
within the brain
The majority of headache remedies offered for
sale contain powerful heart depressants which
bring only temporary relief and leave the heart
in more dangerous state than before. There
is always danger, however, in taking any drugs
sufficiently strong to depress the heart.
When you have found the cause of the head
ache, an attempt should be made to apply the
remedy. If it is indigestion, give the stomach
rest for meal or two, or cut down on the guam
tty of food
If it is lack of exercise and ventilation take
walk in the open air. Walk slowly at first
and gradually increase your speed as the pain
departs. See that the rooms of YOUR Office and
home are always well ventilated even in the
coolest weatLeE
Such causes as detectiveJteeth and strained
eyes should be attended to Immediately com
petent physician can usually tell by a few well
directed questions just what the cause is

RIPPLING RHYMES
(By Wall Mason.)

'The winter will be long and cold" observed
the prophets, bent and DID, who know the goose
bone lore; "the signs and tokens all agree that
thereH be weather fierce to see, and stormy
winds will The little creatures of the woods
have stored up nuts and other goods in quanti-
ties immense; in hunting deep and stormproof
lairs the groundhogs and the grizzly bears have
manifested sense. The bark is thicker on the
trees the prophets say; such signs as these
were never known to fall We'll have a winter
long and stern, and he who'd have some coal to
burn should salt away his kale" The signs and
tokens all agree, and yet the seers don't worry
me, for always they are wrong; never knew a
prophet yet on whom man might safely bet; the
winter won't be long. The winter won't be long
or cold, since length and ferceness are foretold
by these prophetic boys the skies will be serene
and clear, and Gentle Annie will appear and raise
a cheerful noise. There may be sundry pufs of
snow, and now and then cold winds may blow,
but they will wink out soon; when all the
prophets are agreed that winter will be fierce
indeed, it's sure to be like June. When prophets
differ we can't guess what sort of eementaj
stress is scheduled to appear but when they're
all agreed we know that nothing they predict is
SO, and thus our course is clear.

LAND VALUE INITIATION
(St. Petersburg independently

-
The various Standard Oil companies have paid
$925,00O,O0O in cash dividends since they were
separated from each other in December, 1911. In
the same period the assessed valuation of real
estate in New York City has increased more
than twice as much. And that is only part of the
real valuation on which rents are based
The same imitation of real estate values is
steadily going on in st. Petersburg and in most
other cities. 1t makes one wonder whether some
of the bricks hurled at industrial corporations
should not be reserved for land values Single
takers claim that rising land values absorb
wealth as fast as human labor creates it, Right
or wrong it is worth serious thought Land
values may be the kitty" in the poker game of
wealth creation.

To the plea that such tribunal would be con

Washington, July 21-Reptblican

in reports made public agree in con-
demning in severe terms the methods
used by the navy in detecting those

tees.
The only outstanding point of diff

in the responsibility of Former Sec
rotary Daniels and Former Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt for the use OF
naval enlisted men as participants IN
the improper practices in order to OBJ
tain evidence against offenders.

100000 VETS ARE IN SCHOOL
mer Service Men Reports to
Senate Committee.

Washington, July 21.-The work of
the federal board for vocational educa-
ton in the training of former service
men was explained TO the senate spe-
cial committee by Harry L. Fidler,
member of the board, and Ralph L.
Fisher, assistant director.
The board to date has registered
3S9,OOO veterans as eligible for train
ing and of that number has accepted
25S,OOO for training, the committee
was told. The witnesses added that
only 10S,0OO had actually entered train
ing.
Of those accepted for training 1885,
600 were entitled to training pay, of
whom only $4,000 have actually entered
training. OF the $1,000 accepted for
training without pay, only $4,000 have
availed themselves of it, Mr.. Fisher eX-
planning that the small number was
due to their inability to support them
selves without assistance from the gov
eminent.
The committee was told that of the
10000 men entering training about
Al 900 chose trades and industries
about 10000 business courses, about
| $4,000 agriculture and about 11,OO(
| professional courses.
