ly together. There are no real mar
keting laws In Kentucky such as some
other states have and the department

tion, have been conducting exchange
lists for months. In the publications,
most OF which are simply mimeo-
graph sheets. the farmers list the
things they want to sell and exchange
such as setting Of eggs, machinery.

TIMES-UNION CLASSIFIES
PROGRESSIVE EFFORTS.

There has never been any miseon-
ception in south and peninsular Flor
ida as to. the attitude of the Times
Union on any question at issue be-
tween the peninsular and the west
ern arm of the state, and the motive
behind this stand, nearly always with
the western section, justly or unjust
ly ascribed, has been indicated on
more than one occasion, and never
more positively than in yesterdays
edition when the Times Union slop-
ped over in praising the Lake County
Chamber of Commerce for assisting
a neighboring county to organize a
Chamber of Commerce and also for
refusing to participate in the delib-
erations of the Capital Removal AS
sociation.
"Now, if the Lake county people,
says the hybrid morning Journal,
chad any faith in a more or less pop
ular superstition it might be taken
for granted that the date of the Pa
latka meeting, rather than its pur-
pose, caused declination of the in
vitation to send delegates. That be-
ing out of the way there is only one
justifiable inference, which is that
the Lake county people, as represent
ed in their chamber of commerce, are
not disposed, or inclined to chase po-
litical butterflies, being too complete
ly employed with worth while work. -
The Times Unions opposition to
anything that would offend the con-
trolling section in the states legis-
lative body is entirely logical, The
Times Union has great interests to
serve. Every dollars worth of its
stock is owned by the three great rail
lines of the state, the Seaboard, the
Coast Line and the Florida East

recently there has been no develop
ment at all.
AT the present time there are near
ly one hundred farm colonies Of jew
ish people who have migrated to the
homeland of their fathers. They have
brought with them modern methods
and modern ideas. Their methods
are spreading through the entire
country, and the result is a new era
of productiveness. The work has
been greatly aided by an agricultural
training school, which now has ft-
teen instructors and ITS students.
Some rather remarkable social
work has been carried out also IN
these colonies. .Orphanages, hospi-
tails, medical and pure milk dispensa-
ries have aided materially in making
conditions of living desirable. The
notable difference in health condl-
tions of Jewish and non-Jewish chill
dren had been a strong influence in
extending the work of the colonies
along the line of social effort.
The present movement is non-po-
litical, and has no connection with the
Zionist crusade, except that all the
Jews in Palestine hold to the dream
of day when there shall be restored
Palestinian nation. This hope,
like that of the Zionists, is not for an
aggressive world-power, but for a
place where in conjunction with men
and women of other creeds and ma
tionalities the Jews can help in build
ing up new nation in prosperity and
freedom, which shall restore and
maintain some of the splendid tradi-
tions Of the race. There is much
sympathy with this hope among nom
Jewish people, both in England and
America. Certainly, to the sort of
restoration that is now going on in
Palestine there can be no objection

RESTORING PALESTINE.

There is a difference of opinion
among both Jews and Christians as
to the advisability of the Zionist
movement, looking toward the resto-
ration of Palestine as a Hebrew ma
ton. While this is true there is un-
der way and has been for several
years a steady migration that is
bringing about a practical and very
valuable restoration of parts of Pal
estine to the Jewish people.
This movement has taken the form
of the creation of agricultural colo
nies, which have made what are real
oasis in the barren land of the Isra-
elites. The foreign occupants of
Palestine for the past two thousand
years have not been notably efficient
farmers. They still use, many of
them, the antiquated methods of
twenty centuries ago, and until quite

THE CUTTERS.

William Allen White alludes to the
10000 people who took their own
lives in the United States last year
as having voluntarily got up and
walked out, leaving the world cold
and fiat. Observing the great tragic
drama of life that unfolds daily, to-
gether with its accompanying come
dy, Mr.. White concludes that these
10000 cutters, wherever they may
be going, are missing mighty good
thing. Their chief trouble is that
they lack the vision to behold, and
held so much to charm the eye and
engross the soul as it holds today.
All of which is true. The trouble
with the cutters, however, is that
they lack the vision to behold and
that they are engrossed not in the
drama and comedy of life but in their
own petty affairs; they are absorb
ed in their own selfish concerns to the
exclusion of everything else, and
therefore miss the great drama that
is being enacted on the worlds stage.
The person who takes his own life is
an egotist of the most pronounced
sort. His thoughts are concentrated
upon himself. He exaggerates his
own importance. He takes himself
too seriously. He magnifes the trou-
bles that beset him. The cure for
his disease is to be found in the cul-
tivation of self forgetfulness, in con-
temptation of "the great panorama
