 the demonstration that they might
 secure their tickets at an early date, as
 only a limited number can be seated al the school which Is to be held on the
 second floor of Oster Bros Furniture company
 Of Mrs. Wilson and her sooking one
 who knows has said:
 Those of us fortunates who have
 eaten what she cooks wonder if she did not originate the food served to the gods on Mount Olympus, and if at
 some time ages ago she was not high
 priestess in the royal kitchen of love himself. Numbers know the gloriously good things she can cook, but for the
 eason that her home loving nature keeps her near her own hearthstone
 there are fewer people who know any
 thing of the wonderful personality, the foundation of which is understanding an understanding deep and sincere, of
 the lives of her sister women, an un-
 derstanding that realizes with warm Isympathy the petty worries Of poor servants, daily small economies and the friction that each day brings the home maker. This understanding of other women's lives makes of Mrs. Wilson friend as well as teacher It gives to her advice a weight of authority that carries conviction to her audiences. One feels that here is woman who knows, not profes ssional impartinS knowledge but an earnest worker pass ing the experience of a lifetime on to her neighbors. This is one of the se-
 crets of her marvellous personality the neighborly attitude of heart that takes each woman with whom she comes into contact into her confidence and with friendly sympathy tells her just the sort of things that will help her most"

There was a day when l watched the
ringing of the d0Orbell, and hasted that
l might open the door; and Keturah
she noticed it. And when the bell rang
and the eXpressman brought a large
package, l was at the door, and so
was Keturah.
And 1 essayed to slip the package
into mine own room unObserYed, but it
profited me nothing.
And Keturah required of me an an
swer, Hast thou been buying more
books?
And I was speechless.
And she asked, Are they new books,
that look well upon the shelves, or
are they dusty and rusty and musty?
And 1 answered her not, for they
were all that she had said, and then
some.
And she said Let me behold them.
And I cut the strings and opened the
package.
And Keturah said, of all the pur-I
chases which thou hast made of old
and tattered books. these are verify the,
worst.
And I said, 0, thou most lovable
among women, be silent that I may en-
treat thee. Behold, there is in the city
uGdief whose place OF business is
in strange easements and garrets, So
that he moveth every time the rent
cometh due. And I found him yester-
day in a different place, and that was
more so than the one before. And he
IS about to move as soon a $ he can find
place more dark and with lower rent
And my heart pitied him. And for
asmuch as he is about to move, he sold
me these books very cheap.
And Kenturah said, Yea, and that isl
the worst of it. For had his prices
been high, thou hadst looked at hisI
books and bought one, or peradventure
thou hadst bought two it had not been
SO bad. But where wilt thou putt
these?
And 7 said, I think I can find room
And she said. Yea, and will thyI
second wife dust them as I have donel
all these years?
And I said, I hope not. For neither
do I desire q second wife nor yet that
my books should be disturbed.
And she said, My Lord, have heard
that sad tale about the Old BOOKSELLER
and his poverty. When an Habituallyl
Truthful man attempteth to deceive /
he should begin to practice on someI

SELLING WEST FLORIDA.

The question of whether or not the
| people OF west Florida would prefer
| to become Alabamians or remain as
Floridians is being agitated more than
we had thought possible. Arguments
both in favor of the sale of the west
Florida counties to Alabama and
against the project are being advanced
by many residents of west Florida as
well as by the people of east and
south Florida.
1t would be interesting to know what
the opinion of the majority in west
Florida is. If the matter came to a
vote would the people of this section
of the state vote to become Alabam-
ians or would they decide to remain a
part OF Florida?
In making this decision it is not
amiss to mention that the state of
Florida would certainly not give West
Florida to Alabama but would require
a payment sufficient to offset the tax
alton derived from this portion of the
state. Alabama would have TO float
a bond issue to pay for the purchase
and the taxes to sink that bond issue
would, of course, be levied on the en-
tire state of Alabama, including the
newly acquired counties now west
Florida. In other words we should be
in the position of helping to pay for
our own purchase.
The Journal is interested in this
question and it suggests to its readers
that they discuss the matter through
the columns of The Journal. Space
will be given to all communications
the only request being that the articles
be made brief as possible and yet deal
intelligently with the subject.

use to a nation unless properly officer

use to a nation unless properly officer
ed and fully manned.
We know what the condition of the
American navy was in 1914, when the
general board officially advised the
secretary of the navy that our ships
lacked 10000 men of having a full per
sonnet, and strongly recommended that
the deficiency be made up. Little at
tention was paid to the findings and
recommendation of that general board
of the navy, and as a result, when we
entered the war three years later,
many of our ships could not be COM
missioned for lack of crews and many
were sent into the war zone with much
less than their proper complement.
Just such a situation confronts the
American navy today. 1t is officially
stated by the bureau of navigation
that there are not men enough to sup
ply the needs of the first-line battle
ships and the new destroyers. The
navy is our first line of defense, and
drea dnaughts and destroyers are the
principal fighting force of that navy;
consequently when they cannot be
manned because of a lack of enlisted
men, the situation is indeed a serious
one.
Congress owes it to the country, as
one of it's first duties of the special
session. to remedy the glaring defect
in our navy which has been pointed
out by the general board. because in
the next war which may enlist our at
tention we will not have the British
navy to hold the enemy in check while
we leisurely make our preparations.
This provision to bring up the person
mel of the service to the requirements
of the vessels is an imperative one and
and will admit of no delay.-Miami

MALARIA PREVALENT.

PRESS COMMENT
AIsaee Potash Mines Re-opened-

AIsace Potash Mines Re- Opened
The search for an American supply
of potash in sufficient abundance for
the needs of agriculture having had
no satisfactory result as yet, farmers
will be interested in the report that
French engineers have been able to
restore to working order the potash
mines OF Alsace. During the years Of
German occupancy little was done to
develop their stores of the mineral so
valuable in the arts, especially in agri-
culture, Germany preferring to exploit
| the mines of Stassfurt. In the man
agement of the latter the imperial gov
eminent, in the days before the world
war, exercised a strong control, recog-
nizing It as one means of coercing the
rest of the world. There have been
symptoms of a renewal of this policy
! by the present government.
That the Germans did not utterly
destroy the works, that they did so lit
tie damage, comparatively, that the
French engineers have been able to
put them into working order in about
two years may be attributed to their
belief that their ultimate victory was
certain and that they would never lose
Alsace, therefore it's potash mines
could never be a rival of those of
Stassfurt.
AS the Alsace potash beds are esti-
mated to contain more than three mill
lion tons of pure potash and therefore
to be the richest in the world, France
will be in the future a formidable rival
of Germany in the supply Of one Of the
most necessary of fertilizing materials.
to say nothing of the uses of potash
in the other arts. One of Germany's
most potent weapons in debating to-
the rest of the world through it's agri-
cultural needs. through the partial
control Of the worlds food crops, in,
fact, is now wrested from it.
Farmers will remember how their
crops suffered during the war from the
short supply of potash, how they We're
encouraged to believe that they could
get along with the surplus left in theI
soil from the over administration of,
he potassium salts due to their follow
ing the advice of the German Kali
agents, how potash went up to almost
unbelievable prices and finally became
quite unobtainable.
Now the prospects are for an album
dant and therefore cheap supply be-
comes generally available. - Florida
