Florida, with limited money for the
whole state, Is pursuing the wise pol
Icy of bridging the great waterways
Of the old Spanish Trail through west
Florida and leaving the roads for
awhile to the counties. This will lei
traffic through, for the roads can be
made comfortable when bridges cross
the rivers. The time is now at hand
and the work will soon be started to
improve the remaining bad road Sec
tions and to Mark the highway
through Florida, for when the Apal-
achicola bridge is opened this spring
two of the four big west Florida water
ways will be bridged and traffic should
then find comfort across that state.

really been seen In the act of making
their rounds
AT this point in the program, a
young woman rose to ask II she had
heard correctly that $4,000 was paid
out for police. When she was assured
that those We're the figures, there was
some rapid-f1re discussion of the pro-
lection afforded under the $50, 900 fund.
County Taxation.
From the city taxes, Mrs. Bonacker
touched briefly on county taxation,
which is at the rate of 4915 mills.
In reporting on the county budget,
she gave the following figures:
Estimate Of general expense
fund ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS So, $40 SO
Estimate fine and forfeiture
FUND "a, 440.54
Expense road fund, construc-
ton and maintenance Of

Agricultural .......... 2,347.63
Bond trustees, court house
ana jail ................ 11,993.31
Estimated expense bond
trustees road and paw
ing bond fund ...... 14404564
One fact which was strongly brought
out at the meeting was the great ne
cesslty of an organized effort to COM
pei people to pay their poll taxes. Sew
eral members spoke of the present in
justice of the laws which allow those
who do not choose to pay their taxes
to shift the burden on the shoulders
of those who are honest enough to do
their rightful part.
Attention was called to the fact that
If a property holder is so dishonest as
to take advantage of the law, he can
fail to pay his taxes for 10 years, can
then pay three years taxes and be ex-
empted from payment for the other
seven years.
The Importance of the payment of
taxes at this time, in view of the school
situation, was especially stressed, and
the members pledged themselvs to
make a concerted effort to have the
laws of the state so changed as to
make the payment of taxes compul-
sorry
Mrs. F. w. Marsh, chairman of the
legislative committee, was asked to
look into the legal aspect of the case,
and, with her committee, to frame a
bill to be presented to the club for it's
approval, and later to be presented to
other clubs throughout the state, urg-
ing their cooperation in getting this
bill, or some other covering the situa-
ton, enacted as a Florida statute.
Miss Evelyn Thornton and Miss
Pauline Reese spoke briefly, calling the
attention of the members of the club
to the fact that Escambia is not the
only county in the state suffering
through the non-payment Of taxes, Cit
ing conditions in other counties of tine
state which are qually as bad as here
in relation to education.
There are 10000 women in the state
federation of women's clubs and their
influence will be asked to put laws on
the statute books to compel the pay
ment OF taxes, and to prevent such
conditions as now prevail throughout
the state.

Two systems are used I'm feeding
folws-the dry-mash and the moist

TEN a llght-mOist mash often is fed. BY
the term mash poultrynen mean a
mixture of ground feed, either moist
or dry. The greatest advantages TO
be derived from the dry-feed system
are the saving of labor and the less
ened danger OF bowel trouble result
ing from sloppy or soured mashes. In
the dry-feed system for laying hens,
as practiced successfully on a New
York poultry farm, the grains fed are
as follows, In the proportions indicated.
This mixture is scattered in the lit
ter early In the morning and again at
about IL 80 a. m, and this induces
abundant exercise. 4 hopper con-
tanning dry mash Is hung against the

The hopper containing this mash Is

Corn is the most popular of all the

because of its abundance and compare
