A NEW GERM DESTROYER.

Adiscovery, for which is claimed the power OF XIII
ing anthrax germs in wool while sthi IN bales mas oeen
a a n and demonstrated in England. The process
ia said to kill ali the germs with which It comes in con-
tact and consists of q new type Of electric ray which
produces a powerful killing wave capable OF destroying
tetanus germs in sixty seconds, cholera germs in ff-
4pen seconds and the bacillus coli instantaneously. The
machine throws off billions Of electrons. Protective
measures are necessary for those engaged in handling
the process. The invention is considered an extreme
" important addition to science and Of direct benefit
to the live stock states of the west, where anthrax may
have its inception
Anthrax is a malignant and contagious febrile dis,
ease of cattle and sheep, and is communicable to man.
It has been transmitted to those handling wool or hair
c, en- at long intervals after the animal afflicted has
died. Germs OF the disease are known to have been
transmitted at such great distances as from Australia
or Siberia to the United States in this way.

NOT A FAILURE.

The greatest achievement at Washington states
the last veil of doubt and misunderstanding between
me men VINO count In Britain and the men who count
IN the United States. They all know now that thew
sc sraVelnns the same international road-a5 least,
for the present We shall not make the mistake Of
imagining that there are or can be any fnalities in
world politics. But for the next decade or two. the
W ashihgpon road-map viii govern. And that is a great
accomplishment. Paris and Versailles have left a doz.
on wars going on in the area over which they proclaim
ed peace. Washington hns established peace in the
racine world and between the two great English
speaking peoples for a generation.
TO call it a failure becauze 1t has not also brought
in the millennium and wiped the war spirit from The
hearts OF all men-has not induced France to disarm
before revengeful Germany nor the newborn nations
OF ~mid-Europe to trust Trotzky-is just another ex-
ample of the costly folly of rushing, blindfold, after
the impossible. 1t is of a piece with the trusting juve-
nile creduiity of those who genuinely thought that the
late unpleasantness' was really "a war to end war"

We are to look forward not only to physical losses
IN our descendants but to the loss Of institutions and
customs for progressive evolution involves not only
an acquisition but also q loss of characters
These things are coming at some future period be-
cause as the professor says "an progress must neees-
sarly be attended by degeneration" This explains
why the older generation is always scandalized by the
younger and never remembers that it scandalized its
parentS
And thus we of this day are left with no pride at an

THE

The soldiers bonus bin is before the lower house of
congress today under suspension of the rifles. It is
altogether likely that it will receive the t~we-thirds ma
jerity required to pass it.
The estimate in the committees report that the total
cost Of the bonus would be S4,oes, 71e $50 was based
upon the assumption that 10 per cent Of the 4.45s, 1879
veterans who would be eligible for compensation would
accept adjusted service certificates; PA per cent vo.
eational training aid; 10 per cent farm and home aid
and 7h per cent land settlement aid. The remaining
~ per cent would be paid in cash after passage of the
bill under n provision requiring veterans whose ad-
iusted compensation would not exceed $50 to accept
cash.
Total costs under the various options of the bin
were estimated as follows:
Cash payments, $4,000 900.
Certificates on account of deaths. S577.571 600.
Certificates on account of maturity, SO, 1884. s2s. $50.
Vocational training, $50, 1926, 900.
Farm and home aid, S1S6, 200, 900.
Land settlements, SIP, 900, 900.
The greatest cost In any one year was estimated at
$J'154,S23,S5o in the fiscal year 1913, when the GER
tthcates then outEtanding would mature. The costs
under al other options except the certificates would
cease IN 1927. The last payments under vocational
training would be In 1926; under farm and home cid
In 1925, and under land settlement In 1927. After
that time the only cost each year until the year Of the
maturity of the certificates would be PAYMENTS ON ar
count of deaths of holders of certificates.

For those peace time needs we re-
quire practically the same type Of
balanced merchant marine as for
war purposes. We require the fast
passenger ship which transports the
negotiators of trade, and the mails
which keep the trade going; we re-
qulre refrigerator ships and ships
built for special trades. Thus the
manufacturer can see, in the Gang

z Graduated Negro Killed

The auditorium of the high school
was packed to its capacity, Monday
night, with an audience that was at
tracted by the graduating exercises of
the senior class, which class was COM
posed Of five girls and two boys. The
exercises began with an invocation by
Rev. Howard Dutill, pastor of the
Methodist church, which was follow
ed by a literary address from DR.
James NJ. Leake of the University of
Florida. This address was MASTER
ly effort. nobly conceived, well de
livered and received with sincere ap-
plause. The seven graduates then
appeared in succession and held the
close attention of the audience for
a little over an hour. Their compO-
sitiOns were well prepared, showing
careful thought, and were read with
a distinctness of utterance that was
commendable. Each reflected much
credit upon the young author, so
that it is a matter of regret that
made Miss Elizabeth Cooper was
the salutatorian, the subject of her
essay being "The Ages and their
Wonders" The class poem was read
by Miss Minta Hopper; class history
by Miss Lusy Muriel Ingram; class
song, Seniors Lament" by August
RiCkenbach; class prophecy, by Jus
tus n. BlOunt; class will, by Miss
Lena Goulding. Miss Addie Larri-
more who was the valedictorian, had
as her subject THE Common Peo-
pie" After the reading of the es-
says, diplomas were awarded to the
graduates, and then all the pupils
present joined in singing a beautiful
song. The exercises closed with the
benediction By Rev. Kerns, pastor of
the Presbyterian church.

Wasn't Their IIiouOp

According to Arcadia papers, Capt.
Geo. Stewart and C. Potter Lucas
were arrested in Arcadia last week
for having liquor in their possession
and one paper stated that they were
selling it in COCa-cola bottles to
spectators at a ball game which they
went to Arcadia to witness. 1t seems
that a bottle containing little liquor
was found in their car, but il is said
that the liquor did not belong to the
two men arrested and was put there
by other parties. Both young men
bear the best of regulations here and
are highly regarded by all who know
them and the charge contained in one
of the papers that they We're selling
liquor, while ridiculous, is unjust and
casts an unwarranted reflection upon
them in the eyes of people to whom
they are unknown.

Decides to Make Race After ConsuIta-
ton With Friends; Announce
ment a Surprise Here

Ex-Governor Albert w. Gilchrist
will be a candidate for United States
senator in the coming primary against
Senator Park Trammell, according to
announcement contained in the daily
press. This announcement came as a
surprise to the eX-goyernor's Friends
here, his definite announcement be
ing the first intimation they had had
of his intention to make the race.
According to the Tampa Tribune
.of Tuesday, Ex-Governor Gilchrist in
formed the Tribune of his intention
to make the race by telephone from
jacksonville, where he had been in
consultation with a number of
friends from all parts of the state.
and his decision to enter the race re-
suited from these conferences.
General GilChrist was governor
from 1908 to 1912, inclusive, being
succeeded to that Office by Park
.Trammell, who is now senator, and
for whose seat the general will CON
tend. Senator Trammell defeated
General Gilchrist, Perry G. Wall and
N. p. Bryan in the race for the
senate six years ago.
AS the time for making a cam
paign is short, it is expected that both
General Gilchrist and Senator Tram
nell will Immediately start to can-
vass the state.
Eli Futch, who is well known and
has many friends here, will manage
Gilchrst's campaign.

SCAB OF CITRUS .
Those Who Haven't Sprayed Should
Get Busy Now

Citrus growers who have not made
their fungicide sprayings should get
busy at once. The later in spring
these sprayings are delayed, the less
effective they will be.
County Agent II. f. Stevens, Of Lee
County, suggests that the first appIi-
cation of spray for scab be made just
before the new growth puts out. He
says that the old foliage and the
branches on the interior of the tree
should be thoroughly covered with
the solution so as to kill any of the
scab spores that may have lodged
there. The second spraying should
follow about the middle of the bloom
ing period and the third soon after
the fruit has set.
If your trees have already passed
the time for first or second spraying,
then prepare for the third. These
sprayings should come at different
times in different sections of the
state.
Bordeaux mixture, ammOniacal So
luton of copper carbonate, or com
mercial lime-sulphur solution may be
used for this purpose. The bordeaux
should be a $3.50 mixture. The
ammoniacal solution of copper car
Donate is made by mixing, ounces
of copper carbonate witM water to
make thin paste. Dilute pints Of
ammonia, rs degrees Baume, with
three or four times the same volume
of water. Then add the paste to the
ammonia solution, and make up to so
gallons with water. The lime-sul-
phur should be applied as a 1-to-40
dilutiOn.
