INJURY MAY PREVENT

London. England. Dec 2S - Miss

Regarding her tour last summer in
Canada and the United States, Miss
Leitch declared it was purely of a
private nature. She was particularly
impressed with womens golf in the
dominion or the outstanding players
in Canada. Miss Ada Mckenzie and
Miss Pepler were probably the great.

Miss Alexa Stirling, in her opinion,
was the greatest exponent of women's
golf in the United States, in spite of
the fact that she curtailed her play
during 1922 She was the finest "chot
maker" over there, Miss Letch de-
clared. She had more shots almost
than any other player. Miss Leitch
considers that the majority of women's
golf courses in the United States and
Canada are easier than those in Eng
land. There are no undulations there
as in England, and virtually no wind.
The courses, however, are much better
kept than in this country

take up the former life; when gradu-
ally this country commenced to as
sumo its old habits and the people
began to live the old life; then came
the belief that the Red Cross had
won it's spurs in the fight to give
those yearning for aid and peace and
comfort in illness, and would no more
be needed.
That is why the American public,
little realizing the ever-present needs
for preserving and continuing that
organization, fails now to respond to
the appeal for financial aid. That is
why a circus will carry from this citl
full five times the amount of cash
that is pledged to the Red Cross for
assurance that no cessation from its
work shall take place.
The figures tell the story. Palatka
should not be singled out as an illus
tration. Without doubt the majority
of cities in the state will find the
same conditions existing as the
amusement train visits those cities.
But it does seem sometimes that
patronage is sadly misplaced.

steps have shown progress; but now
that the methods have proved to
bring perfect results there is to be a
bulletin at once issued to explain the
entire process.
The process just made public will
be of more benefit to Florida than
the experiment station has cost the
state since it's first creation, and the
good which will attain in other states
where the growing of cotton has been
abolished on account of the boil vice.

gree of accuracy.

STATE PLANT BOARD
WINS VALUABLE VICTORY

Every assurance has been given
the world by the state plant board of
Florida that at last plan has been
perfected by which cotton will once
again be safe crop.
The boil weevil is to be wiped out.
1t is true, however, that the board
states that only the short staple, or
upland, cotton will be affected by
this discovery. Yet that means a
gained annual value throughout the
country most stupendously large. 1t
means that the farmer who takes adj
vantage of this discovery made at the
agricultural station in Gainesville
will have "sure crop" barring visi-
tations of nature which in no case
can be combatted.
One excellent feature about the
discovery is the fact that no large
sum of money is needed by the farm
err to see that his crop is made safe.
The investment is but a mere trifle.
No grower of cotton will complain at
the expenditure. He can then take
his fiends which were previously in
tested with that awful menace, the
boil weevil, and after the treatment
has been applied he will feel conf
dent that he twill get a crop"
It is but fair OF presume that the
protection now offered one grade of
cotton will be studied out and will
later be adapted to the protection of
the sea island and other varieties of
the product.
The commissioner for the state
plant board, Wilmon Newell, makes
this assertion:
"The boil weevil's weak point has
now been found, and by this method
of control the farmer will be able to
hand him a solar pleXus blow. The
treated fields will produce just about
as much cotton as if there had been
no boil weevils. The return OF prof
liable short staple cotton culture in
Florida is now assured"
The Gainesville institution is not
in the habit Of making misleading
statements. The experiments which
hav ebeen carried on in an endeavor
to discover some means of terminal
ing the weevil damages have gained
but little publicity as the several

THE RED CROSS NEEDS
AND THE CHANGING CIRCUS

So closely as the receipts have been
reckoned there was collected in the
Sunday campaign in this city for
funds to aid the Red Cross a sum not
exceeding six hundred dollars.
At a conservative estimate there
was taken in by the circus showing in
Palatka Monday at least four thou
sand dollars.
1t is generally conceded that man
who earns his money may spend it
about as he may see fit-with a few
exceptions; and those who chose to
do So had a perfect right to toss their
funds to the circus.
Looking at the two propositions,
can any thinning person find plea
for The patronage given to the cir
Gus while i,tt1c heed is paid to the
organization whose whole-hearted
supper means the alienation of dis
tress and suffering over the whole
world?
Four thousand dollars to a circus
Six hundred dollars to aid in the
great work being put over by the
Red Gross. For an hours amuse-
ment six times the amount given that
was subscribed for a years work by
a grand organization! 1t sound rath-
Ger unIair. 1t is unfair.
No doubt there were many of those
who made 4 tender to the Red Cross
who visited the circus; but think OF
the vast number who sidestepped the
Red Cross Tor tie sake of the saw
dts ring. The assertion may be
made that a continued lack of pat
ronage would force the circus from
the road; but along that line it may
be sid chat. continued lack of pat,
rouuge would force a cessation of the
service that is being done by the Rec
Cross over the entire country.
Il is admitted that the circus was
a "E0Cd one. as amusements OF that
sort fraaupnt1v are. Doubtless it was
far better and cleaner than the av.
erace aggregation covering the coun.
try. That is not the point at issue il
this case.
IN a nutshell the American people
are impetuous and impulsive-and
too readily is the old discarded fol
the new. But a few years ago, when
this country was wrought to the
highest tension over the work that
was being done abroad by the REQ
Cross, people "gave till it hurt They
