taining large quantities of wood, tree trunks, and stumps. Some of the stumps are of great size, a few of them reaching a diameter of 9 or 10 feet. Much of the wood is we'll preserved, showing clearly the woody structure and the external mark ings of the bark. A prelimin- ary examination indicates that one of the more common trees of. this ancient swamp was cypress.
 The story of these trees, however is only brief chapter of the whole geologic history shown in the excavation, which has just been examined by Chester K. Wentworth for the United States Geological Sur vey. Ages ago this part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain was from time to time covered by the sea, into which streams swept vast quantities of mud sand and gravel and boulders which formed thick deposits that covered large areas. The larger boulders are derived from the granite on which the gravel lies, but some of the smaller pebbles come from parts of the Potomic basin be- yond the Blue Ridge and others from veins of quartz in the granites of the Piedmont Pla- teau.
 Over the layer of plant de- bris and muck in this old swamp fine clay and pebbles were laid down by streams of water during the glacial epoch when the northern part of North America, as far south as northern Pennsylvania, was covered with immense sheets of thick ice, showing that the trees lived in the latter part Of the Great Ice Age, which is variously estimated to have ended from 10000 to 30,OOO years ago.

The Water Question

The citizens of Williams are awaiting with interest the re- suits of the conferences which are being held with the Santa Fe regarding cooperating to se- cure water. In the event that the Santa Fe does not see fit to go in with the city on good terms for the town, it should be possible to issue additional bonds on the city and solve the problem in this way. The senti- ment of the people in favor of
 better water, is unanimous. Ii

More Houses Needed in
 Williams

The demand for more houses in Williams is becoming more and more insistent. Hardly a day passes but what someone calls at the News office inquir- ing for a house to rent. The News is at loss to help them for we know of no vacant hous- es to suggest. Small four and five room houses are what most of the applicants ask for.
 Williams needs house build ing campaign. Rentals are high enough to make small houses a good paying investment. Why do not some of the local men with means, put up more such houses? People who would like to live in Williams are be- ing turned away for want of housing facilities.

grains, as wheat, oats, and bar ley should be.collected from the standing grain and the leaves stripped off while the material is fresh.
 For exhibits of threshed grain, select plump kernels of good color; clean it in the fan ming mill to remove all dust and light grain; then go over the exhibit sample by hand and pick ont any bad kernels you may find. Frequently very few bad kernels will throw an exhibit out where competition IS close.
 The weight of oats and bar ley may be increased by tramp ing the sample in a sack. This treatment will rub off lot of chaff, tips of boards, etc. Do not overwork the sample or the judge will discount it on this account:

Michigan Republicans Repud.
 iate Newberryism

Michigan Republicans over whelmingly repudiated New berryism when they went to the polls ard cast vote of two to one against Senator Townsend the defender of and an apolo- gist for Newberry. The anti Newberry vote, however, was divided between the three op- ponents of Senator Townsend, who in this way secured a re- nomination by plurality un- der 25,O0O. Senator Towns end received in fact only 37 per cent of the vote.
 Chairman Cordell Hull of the Democratic National Com mittee pointed out in a signed statement that this break is an assurance that the great major ity of Michigan Republicans will join with all good citizens at the polls next November to make permanently effective their verdict in the Michigan primaries.
 In Massachusetts Senator Lodge, after thirty years of ser vice in the Senate, ran behind the Republican candidate for Governor, and although renom- mated by a large majority over his opponent, about 10000 Massachusetts Republicans voted for his opponet as a pro- test against continuing Lodge in public life. At this rate Massachusetts Democrats are encouraged to believe they can accomplish his defeat in Mo- Vember.

wOIu.D DO ONE THING
 AND DO THAT WELL

The Coleman Lake Develop ment Association made Wlse move when it narrowed the ob- feet of the association down to one thing-the development of Coleman Lake. So often IL happens that a Commerclai Club or other Club organized for the advancement of the 1n- terests of the community, is be- sci with such a varied number of community needs that the en- erpies of the members are scat tered over a wide field. with nothing definite accomplished from all the effort expended. The same would probably be the result with the newly organ ized association if it were to un. dertake to do the score or things which are needed for the advancement of the community. In narrowing the work Of the organization down to one thing and centering all of the ener- gies of the members upon the accomplishment of that one object, the association assures the success of the underta king. Once the lake is fully developed it is possible that other objects might be undertaken, but until the lake is so developed the as sociation will not even consider any other measures.
 Every citizen and especially every taxpayer of Williams should interest himself in the improvement of Coleman Lake as a summer resort, to the ex- tent of contributing something to the treasury of the organiza- ton, and should also offer some of his time to help along this good movement.

Republican Tax Reductions

Have you noted the way the republican administration at Washington has gone about the business of reducing taxes? They set to work to greatly re- duce or to abolish big income taxes, sur taxes and surplus profit taxes. That is their way of reducing taxes. Then they raised the tariff thus increasing the burden on the small tax payer. To raise a few hundred millions by tariff they levy rates that add billions of profits to the protected interests, and the working man and small proper ty holder must pay the tax to the government and the profits to the interests, when they buy the necessaries of life.

 Detroit. Sept 22.-Henry Ford's industrial strike" came to an end last night
 At midnight his great auto motive plants in the Detroit district, employing upwards ot 10000 men, which were closed for an indefinate period last Saturday as the manufacturers protest against what he termed ~excesive coal prices" again were the scenes of industrial activity.

 The reopening order not only puts back on the payrolis the more than 10000 Ford workers in Detroit and the 30,OOO oth- CTS in assembling plants thru out the country, but also means the reopening of scores of small machine shops and acces- sorry concerns chiefly in the Detroit district that were obllg- ed to close last week because Ford company is their sole or chief customer. The smaller concerns employ upwards of 100000 men.

LI,IE-sULPHUR FOR MITES
Rust Mites Cause Big Loss But May
be Controlled

Rust mites cause a loss of fifty
cents a box on about half of the cit
rus fruit grown in Florida. This is
heavy loss and one that may be pre-
vented with but slight expense, if the
young fruit is sprayed with lime-sul-
phur solution.
Spraying should be done as soon as
the mites appear and be repeated
throughout the season as often as the
mites return in appTeciable numbers,
says Professor j. r. Watson, entOmOl-
Ogist of the Florida Experiment Sta
ton. This means that the fruit must
be watched closely for the mites are
very small and can be seen only with
the aid of hand lens.
Rust mites are worst on grapefruit
in April and on oranges in June.
However, growers should be on the
alert constantly in order to discover
the mites as soon as they appear on
the fruit foliage.
1t is usually safe to spray the grow
ing fruit with lime-sulphur solution
for the control of rust mites. but
this solution should not be used when
the temperature is above 90 degrees.

he said. He urged that Governor
Hardee be called on to get the next

if they must hold one in Tallahassee
as they claim, according to law, then
make it an adjourned meeting from
Tampa. He said that east coast and
south Florida contribute 70 percent
of the funds of the department, and
have received less than percent Of
the total spent on roads. Mr.. Friend

plans to meet about April 21st, in
