TOURIST CLUB NOTES
Twas a Pleasant Evening They Had
Last Tuesday

The Tourist had hall full Tues
day evening and all enjoyed every
thing.
The ladies needle work club meets
as usual at the hall Wednesday after
noon; no men allowed.
We regret to learn that Mr. Ded
wyler was killed near his home in
an automobile accident last week.
He had been called home on ac-
count of illness of his mother. His
wife and children left at once for
their home at Carlton, Ga. Our sec
retary was instructed to forward our
sympathy to the family.
After the business session, Mr..
Tucker, who attended the state Amer
lean Legion meeting at West Palm
Beach last week, was asked to ad-
dress the club. He gave us good
and instructive talk and to those not
well informed as to the personel of
Legion members made it plain that
they were members by merit. He al
so advised us that the soldiers bonus
that is creating so much stir at the
capitol in Washington was not foster
ed by the soldiers but by politicians
who want the Legion votes. At the
same time the soldier who went in
the trenches is justly entitled to part
of the big wages and fortunes made
by those who stayed at home. Mr.
Tucker said he would not take fifty
dollars for the cross country trip but
that he would not take it again for
that amount which made a doubt in
President McAfee's mind whether it
was on account of bad roads or be-
cause Colonel Stewert accompanied
him.
The entertainment committee then
offered its program.
The Glee club sang an opening
song.
Everybody enjoyed Miss Rogan's
piano recitation, which was good.
Miss Elizabeth Mayes sang and her
splendid voice was such a treat to
our music lovers that our program
was halted till she sang the Blue
Bird song for us
Then Miss Sadie Card put the |
whole house to laughing by Il funny
reading, THE Old Maids Blessings" I
or something like that and of course !
the laughing and clapping did not |
subside till she gave another piece, !
We always had rather hear Miss
Sadie twice than once.
Mr.. Anderson told us the funniest |
story about catching bull frogs with
a hook baited with red flannel rags. |
He says bull frogs are talking toi
each other when folks who do not
understand the language think theyi
are simly bellOwing Ought to get
Mr.. Anderson to tell you what they
say.
Miss Emma Dell Roy and Miss
Marion Harrocks, two of our sweetest
little girls, each recited cute piece.
We always enjoy recitations by these
two young ladies.
Mrs. Brown save us a splendid and
much appreciated reading for which
we heartily thank her.
Now, loyal tourist, if you can tel
a funny story, give reading, sing
song or do anything for your clubs
offer yourself to tho
entertainment committee for next
Tuoedav evening. DO not think YOU

TGpiocG Is Made From
Root Of CassaUG Plant

Tapioca is made from the tuherous
root of the cassava plant. 1t is said to
have had its origin in tropical South
America and has been introduced into
the Malay Archipelago and the west
ern part of tropical Africa. The tapi-
oca plant grows from four to 10 feet
in height and consists of two or more
woody stalks which are from an inch
to an inch and half in diameter at
the base. From these stalks branch
out long slender stems with skeleton
like leaves. The stalk is cut up into
pieces of six or eight inches long and
planted for the new crop. The cut
tings are merely inserted in the ground
to depth of two or three inches and
thereafter require little attention until
the crop is ready to harvest, about Il
or IS months after planting. 1t is
said that the tubers sometimes grow
to considerable size, weighing from
20 to 80 pounds.-Detroit News.

COINS FAIL To JINGLE
IN DONATION KETTLES

Officials of the Salvation Army re-
port that the citizens of Richmond
have not responded to the call for help
made in order to give aid to the needy
families, as in previous years. Captain
Amberger of the Salvation Army an
nounces that the call is almost fail
ure. The kettles placed on the streets
for receiving the donations for the
benefit of the poor are as empty in the
evening as when they are placed on the
streets in the morning Very few peo-
pie are contributing to the fund for
buying the poor people Christmas.
AS is the annual custom, the K. D.
Cabinet company took up a collection
among the employees and every one
gave something. A sum of $35 was
realized. Last year the KID. gave 1913.
Officers of the army believe that some
of the other business houses and fac
tories could do the same if not better
in supporting this charity work.

new TRIBUNAL GIVES
CHANCE FOR PUBLIC
TO CLEAR DISPUTES

A unique tribunal which will under.
take arbitration Of every kind of civil
dispute except divorce and which is
expected to do away with red tape
and reduce the volume of litigation
rs per cent has been organized in New
York by a group of prominent jurists
and merchants, says the New York
Sun.
The Arbitration Society of America,
as it is called, will have for its aim
the granting OF speedy and fair deci-
sions on an economic basis. AS it is
incorporated under the membership
law, none of its officials or governors
can accept payment for their services,
but the necessary support until the or
ganization becomes independent will
be by contributions from interested
persons.
The authority for the society is to
be found in a law passed by the leg
islature in 1920, which gives legal
status to arbitration and vests the ar
bitrator with the power of subpoena
ing witnesses to appear in the court
of arbitration.
1t is the purpose of the society to
have the state legislatures pass uni
form arbitration laws conforming to
those of New York and, with some
slight changes, those in New Jersey.
If this can be accomplished the mem
bers believe that the organization can
be extended to become nationwide in
it's scope The question will be con-
sidered at the annual convention of
the American Bar association in San
Francisco this summer, and a bill has
also been drafted for presentation to
congress extending the right of arbi
tration to admiralty cases.
The purposes of the society were
set forth as follows:
l. To conduct an international cam
paign of education in promotion OF
the general cause of arbitration In all
disputes and differences.
2 To organize and operate in New
York City and in other cities of this
country tribunals of arbitration fol
the speedy, inexpensive and just de
termination Of all disputes and con
troversies.
8. To move for a uniform arbitra
ton law in all states of the union, and
for the insertion of an arbitration
clause in all trade and industrial con
tracts.
1t will not be compulsory that the
litigants be represented by lawyers
although they may have attorneys
with them to act as advisers if they
wish Since it is the object of the
society to eliminate all unnecessary
details and technicalities there will bt
no Formally of calling witnesses
Neither will any cross-examination BY
opposing lawyers be permitted.
The only fee that will be asked vii
be a nominal one for the use of thS
rooms of the society, but there will bt
no charge for the services of the arbi
traitor unless he specifically asks fol
compensation

1t is seldom that anyone has such
instantaneous success on the screen
as Robert Agnew, who plays the part
of Bobby Goodwin, in 1.-THE Highest
Law" the Selznick picture which is
playing at the Murray theatre.
Only one year has passed since Mr..
Agnew made his debut in pictures, but
during that time he has played in
four feature pictures, the last three
being "The Valley OF His Doubt, "
1.-The Sin That Was His" and 1.-THE
Highest Law" from the Selznick stu
dos.
Out of Texas came this brilliant
young actor and walked right into
part in a picture which was being
made by Mrs. Fiske. Selznick then
selected him to play juveniles as his
type is peculiarly adapted to the "dif'
ficult age" between boyhood and man.
hood. Many will be surprised to learn
that Mr.. Agnew has had such a brief
career, as all critics have been favor
able toward his acting. This talent
is not Inherited as none of his family
have ever been on the stage.
