For County Judge

Fellow Citizens of Charlotte Coun-
judge. because believe a free express
sion OF the voters at this time will
register a change in opinion from
that expressed in the primary; and
as the right to vote guaranteed to
US by the constitution pertains to
Ieloctions and not to party primaries,
it is only by voting in the election
,SoVerned by the power that gave this
guarantee that you exercise this
fright of citizenship-a right that
each person should exercise indepen-
IDENTITY because automatically with
that right comes duty to exercise
our best Judgment and try to place
in office persons who will render the
most satisfactory service.
1t is especially necessary for us to
use the greatest care in selecting
person for judicial position. OF
course there are rules of evidence and
established court procedure which are
supposed to govern a judge. but |
have seen both ignored at the ex-
.pense OF the prisoner and justice.
To hand out any Office to an indi-
vidual as recompense for political ac-
tivities, as | have heard some advo-
cate, is a sacrifice that we who re-
Sard voting the performance of
sacred duty should not allow.
To the sister voter | wish to say
that it was hoped by advocates of
woman suffrage that women would
not allow themselves to be obsorbed
by the poll cal parties but would use
their own Judgment in voting on is
Isues and for persons. May that hope
be materializod in the vote for coun-
ty Judge!
AS to my educational uualifica-
tions: ! taught school for 16 years,
| the greater part of this time under
a state certificate. | studied law for
! four years under the direction of a
reputable law school and in examina-
tion made an average of Sc percent
on the complete course. Probably I
have as good excuse for not being
engaged in the practice of law as has
Imy opponent
If l am commissioned by the citi-
zens of Charlotte county TO perform
the duties of county Judge, my ut
most endeavor shall be to cultivate
respect for that office.
Accept my most sincere thanks for
Iy6ur inhuence.--Gco.W w. CLEEK.

GET MORE MILK
The Dairy Herd May be Improved by
Selection

Professor j. NJ. Scott, Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, says, one of the
.chief reasons for low production rec
ords of COWS in Florida is that dairy
men in the past have paid no atten-
.tion to Improving their herds. They
have been content to buy additional
COWS when more milk was needed
and to sell cows when a surplus was
being produced.
To build up profitable herd and
to do it economically thru careful Sc
lection, will require at least ten
years. This may seem like long
time, but investigation will show that
the most successful dairymen have
been in the business for a much long
er period
Increasing the productiveness Of a
dairy herd thru selection must begin
with the individual as unit Cows
with the best performance records
are mated TO a bull backed by line
of high producing ancestors. Even
this will not guarantee Offspring
equal to their parents in productive
ness, since the law of chance oper-
ates to make results uncertain. How
ever, the average will be as good as
their parents and some will exceed
their dams record. The best pro-
ducers are further bred for further
improvement.

HOME GARDEN AN ASSET
Plant Garden at Home and Have
Fresh Vegetables the Year
Round

The home garden is an asset. But
with many people it is more of a
memory or theory than a reality.
People in Florida can eat from the
home garden throughout the year,
because the climate of this state is
delightfully."- mild, making possible
the growing of some kinds OF garden
PLANTS at all seasons. Discussing the
home garden, w. Floyd, professor
of horticulture, Florida College of
Agriculture, recently said:
THE winter garden Will return
many times the labor put out upon
it, provided this labor is expended
intelligently. The soil must be deep
ly and thoroughly prepared. In many
cases a supply of good horse or COW
manure should be applied and mixed
thoroly with the soil at time Of prepa-
ration. When the plants show slow
growth or lack of vitality, top dress
with nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia"
Vegetables to be planted in late
October or early November are nu-
merous. Continuing along this line,
Professor Floyd said:
at this season it is not too late to
Ilant beets and carrots. In North
Florida brussels sprouts make q deli
ciOus winter vegetable. IT is per
fectly hardy and will stand severly
cold weather Plants should be set
out Immediately.
Cabbage plants should b" set out
and seedbed prepared 50 as 10 have
plants for larger paintings Collards
are desirable for every garden, and
kale is another favorite and is as
hardy as collards. The Scotch Curl
cd variety is recommended.
Rape makes a desirable vegetable
for ordinary greens. 1t has really
better flavor than collarde and is
coming rapidly into favor. The Dwarf
Essex variety is probably best. Tur-
nips of the Purple Top White Glove
vIiety may still be planted with Il
fair assurance Of getting crop, but
may be killed by severe frost The

TRY Chiefs PATIENCE .
FOR COURTS OPINION
(By Associated Press1

Frankfort, Ky, July 12-Ken-
tuckians, from one end of the
state to the other, watching the
Court of Appeals (the Kentucky
Supreme Court), for a decision on
the validity of the General Regis
tration law passed by the 1922
legislature, did not know on June
% how nearly they came to lrav-
ing the decision held upfor an in
definite period. Just one inter
ruption of the Chief Justice, Rol-
lin Hurt, stood between the Civ.
ing out of the opinion on that day
and holding it indefinitely.
The law was attacked by an in
junction suit. This is an informs
al action and the opinion was not
handed down from the bench. On
June % Justice Hurt was engag-
ed in writing the opinion of the
court declaring the law uncon-
stitutional. Friends, newspaper
representatives, attorneys and
state officials sought to find out
when the opinion would come
down. Justice Hurt had planned
to leave for his home in Columbia
at 4 P. m.
Numbers of people called the
Justices office to ascertain the
time the decision might be ex-
pected. Others went to the Of
flee. One man did not leave when
he had asked his question, but
loafed about half an hour.
Finally the patience of the chief
justice, who is known as an ies-o
pecially and conscientious official,
became exhausted. Zone more
interruption and I'll stick this
thing in my pocket and take it to
Columbia with me and write it in
my own sweet time,p he told Hill
Cheshire, Sergeant at arms of the
court. Mr.. Cheshire impaired
this Information to attaches of
the court, officials and newspaper
men.
From that time until the de
cision was made known at 4 IS,
p. M, Gordon of clerks from the
office of the Clerk of the Court of
Appeals, the sergeant at arms and
were maintained
across the Capitol Hall at the end
in which the Chief Justices office
is located. Nobody was allowed
to approach the office except the
sergeant at arms, and the chief
deputy clerk of the court who had
to see the justice about court
and finally the opinion
as handed down just in time for
night editors of afternoon papers.
