that more than 10000. 900 boxes Of

The supply which will facilitate

Thomas. He credited the great pros
perity Of fruit growers to q tremen-
dous. increase In the fruit acreage
and to the delightful weather con-
ditions experienced by the producers
during the cultivating season.
Years previously, according to
Mr.. Thomas, California producers
excslled Florida farmers, but during
the past two years the Southern
planters have made such wonderful
strides that their product has
overwhelmed that Of their competi.

Thomas. have almost driven the
fruit production In the Western
State into oblivion.
Great strides by Cooperative bust

to Mr.. Thomas. He said: business
interests have grasped the oppor-
tunity and have succeeded In com.

Mr.. Thomas declared that Florida
II the only State In the country

THE GUARDING TAN.

Protesting against what it calls the
Harding tax otherwise known as
the sales tax, Farm and Home" says:
IL this tax is imposed, it means that
you will have to pay an extra tax of
probably cents on every dollar you
spend. OF course the retail prices that
you pay will be correspondingly in
creased. Worse yet, the wholesale
price that you get for your produce
when sold will be correspondingly de-
creased.
Thus you, the farmer, the producer
the worker-all persons of moderate
means-may be forced to pay the
equivalent OF not cents, but some
where between 5 and 10 cents extra
upon every dollar you spend. while
having as much more deducted from
every dollars worth of stuff you pro-
duce and sell.
The absurdity of this readily is seen
IL one will multiply the SUM of the
billions spent by the American people
every year by the between and 10
cents extra upon every dollar" The
result would<be a sum sufficient to
pay all expenses Of the government.
including the bonus for two or three
years. Nobody has proposed a tax ,ex-
ceeding per cent.

at the beginning of a month. Then
they would race to see who would get
to quarantine first. In one instance, a
ship arrived at 1905 and another got
in two minutes later. This has
stopped.
Whether the quota law goes out of
effect June 80, or whether it is re-
newed depends on congress Con-
gress has for years wanted such a law
by which the steady stream of immi-
grafton from southern and eastern Eu-
rope might be partly checked without
restricting the immigration from the
northern and western Europe. The
immigration from these southern and
eastern countries was more than four
times as heavy as that from the rest
Of Europe and the balance tended to
become more unequal all the time.
The quota law settled the proper
tons definitely, giving northern and
western countries 100000 immigrants
in the year. and the rest of Europe
1855, 1000. With nearly five months of
the fiscal year left, the northern and
western countries have not sent their
quotas, while the other countries al
most without exception have filled
theirs for the year.

1880 now and the dance is at 9. I
guess we can just about make arrange
ments.''
First there was a telephoned COM
munication with Tom Maitland and
Dalton Drew at the Maitland house.
Dalton had come to town hoping to
be able to go to the dance, he said,
but he had no partner. Was it pos
sible that his sister would consent to
go? Then the florist had arrived with
a box so full of orchids that little Jane
Mateland's eyes overflowed with tears
and happiness At $50 Dalton Drew,
looking the incarnation of evening
propriety, but smelling a little of the
Forsyth's cedar chest, arrived He
was UNNECESSARILY relieved to find that
the evening dress bought with her
grandmother's $50 did not fit so well
or look SO smart as to rob Jane en-
tirely of her charming awkwardness.
Dalton had a great longing to tell Jane
that she was the most charming girl
he had ever seen-he knew it would
be the first time any one had ever told
her that. But he didn't tell her then;
he wanted to wait until he could gath
er Jane and her stiff pink silk dress
into his arms and feel the firm
smoothness of her cheeks against his
own.
Many a fate has been sealed and a
destiny shaped within the five or six
hours of a Willard Junior ball To
those who sit in the patronesses box,
deafened by the music and tanning
themselves to keep away the drowsi-
ness, there seems no opportunity down
there among the dancers to fall deeply
| in or out of love.
But it was possibly the only environ
ment in which Dalton Drew could
have brought himself to this important
decision. for the whole place was laden
with associations of his youth There
was a glamour about it that seemed
| to close in about him as he started to
dance with Jane Maitland and that did
not depart from him when. two days
later, he found himself back in his
law offices with the knowledge that
he had asked for and received the
| hand of Jane.

Dorothy Dir TALKS
The Parents, Union-2.
BIZ DOBOTHY DIX
worlds Riehese Paid womaH writes


No mother can want to see her
daughter go forth half naked to a ball.
No father but must shudder as he
thinks of his innocent little girl dane
ing with her cheek resting against
the face of some roue. No man but
knows that the old name of the auto
mobile, the devil wagon is we'll
chosen when young boys tear madly
around in them at all times of the day
and night. No mature man and
woman but realizes how demoralizing
to the young are the lewd pictures,
and sex plays which mere children
go to see
The individual parents would gladly
keep their children unspotted from the
world, but they can't do it as individ-
uals. Mamie will roll her stockings
and show her bare knees because all
the other girls are doing it. Sally
will dance cheek to cheek because she
will have no partners if she doesn't.
All the other boys have the use of
their fathers cars, and Johnny con-
siders himself a martyr unless his
father let's him use his. And SO it
goes, all down the line of the wild,
uncontrolled young, hurting to de-
struction.
The only remedy for it is for parents
to get together and form an IRON clad
union, for what the individual parent
cannot do, the collective parenthood
of the country can do. Especiallyis
Mothers Union needed because
mothers can rule the world IL they
want to, and make it fit place in
which their children may safely live.
Mothers can even control the fash
ions. and they could make red flan-
mel underwear just as smart. and as
much desired by their daughters, as
orchid tinted lingerie is at present.
| They could make decency as much
the mode in dress as vulgarity is now.
For in mothers little black bag is
the money that makes trade prosper
Gus. or dull, and if the Amalgamated
| Order of Mothers would issue the fiat
today that henceforth they would buy
nothing but modestly designed gowns
! for their daughters, tomorrow the
show windows would display nothing
but CONNECTIONS built on conservative
lines, and Yflodesty would be the vogue.
Picture houses and theaters would
give no more improper exhibitions if
they knew positively that not single
young person would be permitted to
attend them. There would be no more
vulgar dancing If fathers and mothers
put their foot down good and hard
upon it. Let the parents of the coun-
try see that their children only patron
ize clean places of amusement and
nothing but clean amusements will be
| offered.
In union there is strength. The
children are already members of g
sort of Bolshevik organization, sworr
| to resist all authority, and to know nc
law but their own desires, and it is
only by the parents getting together
and standing shoulder to shoulder
that they can hope. to regain their lost
auth ority, and save their children IL
! spite of themselves.

The department of commerce, thru
the bureau OF the census, has issued a
statement showing deaths and death
rates by age groups from different
causes in 1910 and in 1920. In every
age group the death rate was lower in
1920 than in 1910. the most pro-
nounced change appearing in the rate
for infants under 1 year of age which
declired from 1904 per 100000 in
1910 TO $3.50 per 100000 in 1920, a
decline of about 26 per cent. The gen.
eral death rate from tuberculosis has
decreased in the decade from $50 per
10000 population to ia. The rate
from acute nephritis and Bright's dis
ease has decreased from 80 to SO. The
rate from accidents has decreased
from 81 to II. and the rate from ty-
phoid fever from "a to 8. The peop'o
who contribute thru taxes or other
wise to public health activities are
being given a good return for 'thei.

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY e. HOUSE
tFrom Philadelphia Public Ledger.)

President Harding told the baseball
owners-"owners'' being slang for
''magnates" he would be at the
first game with a pencil and a score
card In the larger affairs which en-
gross him President Harding compels
admiration; in minor matters he is
not infrequently disappointing. We
regret to see him align himself with
those who believe they can score a ball
game, and who insist on doing so.
President Harding is not contu-
macious man. He is broad minded
and fair and liberal in his judgments.
And SO we except him in the charge
that the amateur scorer is the real
pest of baseball. The amateur scorer s
inability to agree in the matter of
registering hits and errors with the
man who makes a business of scoring
ball games and his belief that the
latter is p crook make of the fight for
freedom an eternal battle.
As one who was the near-victim
of a mob of amateur scorers, We feel
deeply on the subject. The incident
happened long ago We had been
scoring professional ball games for a
number of years and had given the
matter some attention and study The
favorite slabster of the home team was
whale of a game. But in the second
inning the batter, a left-hand hitter,
caught one outside and chopped a slow
bounder between third base and short.
The third-bagster went after it and
clawed furtively at the snhe~o'A -v--'1
his ungloved hand. But all he did was
defect it out of reach of the sho.Ls.o.. =,
who had backed him up on the play.
The press box agreed that it was a hit,
and so scored it. The amateur scorers
gave the third baseman an error.
Thence on the favorite pitched per-
feet, baseball, and at the close of the
game the amateur scorers mobbed the
press box and demanded a no-hit
game. They didn't get it; they got a
fight instead. But we have always
