The Unbalanced Woman

If she is unbalanced OF unseat-
ed or out of her place, what is
the cause? Who is to blame
who brought about this change
There is but one answer. H el
God-decreed protector is to blame
Man is wholly responsible. The
federal head of the family is
guilty.
Womans place is home. Her
throne is the domestic circle. She
didn't leave ii of her own volition.
She didn't sacrifice her place vol
UNFAIRLY. Man is wholly respons-
ible for the unbalanced condition
of woman. He is the federal head
Of the family. 1t is his business
to provide and protect. And ii
is his business to exercise the
righteous discipline necessary to a
perfect home and a good govern
ment. He has utterly failed in
these last two duties. He has
failed through indulgence, because
of a lack of courage, a sense of
responsibility, and a willingness to
face his plain duty. He has prac-
ticed indulgence until he has made
the woman extremely eXtravagant.
The average girl hates work, de
spises domestic responsibility, and
is criminally Conspiring to avoid
those high duties.
The man has neglected to build
the home, to make it attractive
and magnetic. Consequently, the
woman has gone out into the

FLORIDIAN TELLS OF The
BIG CALIFORNIA FREEZE
Says Many California Grove Owners
Are Offering Their Property
for Sale

The following interview with Irwin
Yarnell, of Lake Wales, which ap-
peared in a recent issue of the Lake
| Wales Highlander, will be of interest
to local people, since it gives an in
sight of conditions in California since
the recent freeze. Mr. Yarnell. who
has just returned from a visit to
California, is a prominent business
man and grove owner of the ridge
section.
Well pleased that his land is in the
Ridge Region of Florida and not in
California, Irwin a. Yarnell, of the
| big Highland Park development, who
with Mrs. Yarnell, has been in Cali
fOrnia to observe the effects of last
winters freeze and to note the pres
ent styles" in bungalows, has re
turned to Lake Wales with renewed
faith in Floridas future, says the
Highlander.
In Mr.. Yarnell's opinion the freeze
has been a real calamity to California
and will greatly decrease the size of
the citrus industry in that state with
corresponding benefits to Florida. In
holding and expressing his opinion,
