JACKSONVILLE, May 10.-To-
matoeS r recovering rapidly from
threatened serious damage by heavy
rains Of last week. With from three
TO five inches Of rainfall in three
days and considerable high wind in
some sections, farmers viSioned con-
siderable loss. However the fifth
consecutive day OF warn sun tends
to insure a fine quality crop. Plants
which had not been staked and tied
before the weather broke against the
farmers, are o being put in place
and crops prospects are bright.
The season, delayed two or three
days by the cool weather OF last
week, Is estimated to start about
May q. Much small fruit is in evi-
dence. Decreased acreage in this
section is expected TO aid the 1885
price although some sections Of the
nation report an increase in plant
ing.
Jacksonville is busy preparing for
the 1885 National Tomato Show
which will be held June 2-5 along
with the local tomato festival which
will provide social activities for the
event. Support is being volunteered
from several outside states which
indicates that the show will attract
many entries this year. Food stores
through the East and Midwest will
feature tomatoes during the week.

WASHINGTON, May 10. -(PH.
Delaying the final struggle until

Saturday into a weekend effort

strength in a laSt-minute effort to

defeating the world court protocols
were called into play as veterans
leaders sought TO deluge the capt.
tol and the White House with a
million or more kilograms from
supporters.
President Roosevelt made no
pronouncement, though he con-
ferred with fiscal advisers in what
was generally regarded as a move
to marshal statistics for a veto on
the $4,000. 900 1000 bill. He did not
mention the word bonus" in q.

country as a whole" he said. Our
constant objective is TO care for

In some quarters this was re-
Rarded as echOing the idea the
president expressed at Roanoke,
Va. some time ago in an address
generally interpreted as a stand
against full and immediate pay
ment OF the bonus.
The inflationary bill, which has
passed both houses of congress,
remained bottled up in the senate
while its hackers sought support.
Private senate polls had indicated
that a veto would be sustained pos
sibly by as many a five or six
votes.

LESSON
Text: Matt. 2S:19, 20; Acts S:26-39
The international Uniform Sun
day School Lesson for May IS.
BIZ VIM. L. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor of Advance

LuAtuE VI AQtd1lIc
The passage constituting the
major part OF this lesson on baptism
has been the occasion in days gone
BY OF much very serious and none
too friendly controversy.
! remember how, in the little
town where I grew up, the Meth
odlSt minister and the Baptist
minister were much of the time on
quite %unfriendly terms and engaged
in a rather unholy controversy over
the amount OF water TO be used in
Christian baptism, the manner OF
using il, and those to whom it
should be applied.
The warfare between those who
favored immersion and those who
favored Sprlnkllng, and between the
advocates OF infant baptism and OF
the baptism only OF adult converts,
has been a notable and none too
noble warfare in religious history.
There was a time when such con-
t~roverSial attitudes tended to make
baptism almost more important
than conversion. Today we have
come TO a Saner view. and most
Christians would say that the i'm
portant thing is the tranSforma-
ton of ones life by the power Of
Christ. and not the outward sign
or symbol by which that transform
alton is acknowledged before the
world.
In both passages in the lesson
baptism manifeStly was consequent
upon discipleShip. The disciples Of
Jesus were commissioned TO make
disciples of all nations, "baptizing
them in the name Of the Father.
and OF the Son, and Of the
Holy Spirit" and both discipleShip
and baptism were associated with
the teaching Of men TO observe the
commandments Of Jesus.
The story OF Philip and the
Ethiopian might be regarded as a
case study. and a very interesting
case, in fulfillment Of this commits
sion that Jesus gave the disciples.
When Philip found this eminent
Ethiopian sitting in his chariot and
reading the Scriptures. he sought
that Christian contact Though
which so many influences have come
into the lives Of men. In a gracious
and kindly way he approached the
Ethiopian, inquiring whether he
understood what he read.
1t must have been with no Sug-
gestson OF superiority or offensive
ness. for the Ethiopian responded
at once TO his question, and APP
parently perceiving that he vas IN
the presence Of who was able
to teach him. he replied, How can
], except someone shall guide me?"
And he invited Philip to come and
sit beside him.
What a great lesson it must have
been. as Philip. expounding the pas
sage in Isaiah, preached unto him
Jesus The Ethiopian was as de-
cisive in action as he was wise in
spirit. Philip had evidently told
him concerning Christian baptism.
and when they came TO water the
eunuch said, Behold, here is water,
what doth hinder me to be baptiz-
ed?"
We wish that we had a sequel to
the story, in which We might follow
the course Of grace in the life Of this
eminent man from the south. II
we had II, we might discover how
much this Ethiopian's influence may
have had TO do with the building Of
the church in its early days in the
Dark Continent.

BY EARL GOODWIN

Squirrels on the White House
grounds are gnashing their teeth
on the iron fence, and the boys
don't know whether it's because
they are weeping and wailing over
political matters, or because a con-
slant diet of peanuts from sight
seerS has softened the teeth of the
little rodents.
Washington observers declare
the squirrels at 1900 Pennsylvania
Ave. N. w. have little about which
to grieve, because they are fatter
and sassier under the Roosevelt
administration than they have
been for several administrations
One reason is that the Roose-
Velt dogs don't chase the squirrels,
which gives the little animals time
to take life easy. The Coolidge
and Hoover administrations were
characterized from a squirrels
point of view by several dogs
which took keen delight in chasing
a squirrel whenever one hove into
view. The squirrels were on the
run most of the time and viewed
the world mainly from tree tops.
Although there are two or three
bird dogs of high degree at the
White House now, they pay almost
no attention to the squirrels. Con,
sequently there are t'om three to
a dozen squirrels in sight on the
lawn most of the time.

ADVERTISING
TAX BACKED
international News Service

A defense Of constitutionality of
the Louisiana law taxing news
paper advertising, which was
passed when the late Huey z.
Long ruled the State, was made
in a brief lied in the Supreme
Court yesterday by Alice Lee Gros
jean, supervisor of public ac-
counts.
The case is expected to be
argued in the high court in Jan
uary. The State of Louisiana ap-
pealed after a three judge Federal
court held the law unconstitu-
tional as an assault upon freedom
Of the press.
The Grosjean brief asserted
that the Federal court did not
have jurisdiction to act in the
cas- and defended the law against
the charge that it attempted 10
abridge freedom of the press.
The law, which affects news
papers with a circulation of more
than 10000 copies a week, is de-
signed to tax a business which
yields revenue and not to sup
press newspapers, the brief as
serted.

Squirrels Getting Fat
At White House

White House squirrels have a
closed corporation Of their own.
When one Of the squirrels from
across the street-a Lafayette
Park squirrel-dares to stick his
nose inside the iron palings Of
1900 Pennsylvania Ave-, there is
riot call and a fight. You can
tell the Lafayette Parkers by their
lean appearance as the dogs chase
'em on the north side Of the Ave
nue..
White House squirrels have an
elderly chieftain who is so gray
that he appears to be wearing an
extra fur coat. This old squirrel
keeps an eye on the tourist trade
at Steve'S peanut stand at the
corner of Pennsylvania and East
Executive AYES.
This stand is there by virtue Of
a decree of Mrs. Roosevelt despite
a contrary police regulation. The
stand enjoys the patronage Of
many distinguished customers.
Tourists buy peanuts there, be-
ginning about 10 a. m. every week
day-and right away the old chief
squiA:el sounds the dinner bell
Squirrels come Looping to the fence
from all directions, and when the
squirrels start running, the pi-
geonS concentrate on the same
spot. The same thing holds good
for the SparroWS.
