Florida Outlaws
Slot Machines

The Florida Legislature Saturday
climaxed bitter, prolonged fight
by voting rs to II to outlaw slot
machines.
The measure was sent to Cover
nor Fred P. Cone who had previous
ly said he would sign it. The law
would make it criminal offense to
own or operate the devices after
October l.
Slot machines were 1egalized by
the 1885 Legislature and Legislators
estimated the "take" was approx
mately $60,000,000 year.
Civic and religious organizations
raised hue and cry against the ma
chimes. State Comptroller ]. M. Lee
termed them "one-armed bandits. :"
The opposition came to head with
formation of the Florida Anti-Slot
Machine organization, headed by the
Rev. J. E. Barbee of Jacksonville.
This group organized committees
in so counties and, assisted by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce and
other bodies, circulated petitions de-
manding a referendum. The vote
was held last fall and was unfavor-
able to the machines in the so coun-
ties passing on the question.

Struggled Letters
Tell of Horrors in
Ecuador Prison

New tales of terror are beginning
to come from the grim Galapagos.
Naked and starving men are run
ming wild, and life has reverted to
the primitive since Ecuador placed
a prison camp on those lush Pacific
islands, officials here have been in
formed by struggled letters.
Begging for help lest they die of
suffering, five political prisoners
sent the narrowing story from San
Cristobal, $40 miles off the South
American coast, to the newspaper
Star Herald.
':You cannot imagine the suffer-
ing we have to endure" they wrote
we are entirely without clothes.
1--WE are deprived of the most ele-
mentary articles of everyday life.
eve are detained under conditions
probably unparalleled in any other
country or part of the world.
"This island is under military
guard, 20 men under command of
two officers, who at the same time
are the highest authority on the
island.
"At our arrival, they simply in
formed us that the government of
Ecuador does not assign as much as
one cent for the purpose of feeding
persons confined to this island and
thus could not supply us any food.
''The officers informed us that
from now on it was entirely up to
US to see what to do or how to make
a living"
The prisoners, whose spokesman
signed himself S. Coleman of Hun
gary, said their "only crime was
having entered the country of Ecua-
dor without proper travel papers
yet ''even criminals confined behind
prison bars live much more hui
namely than they treat us on this
remote island"
The five prisoners on San Cristo-
bal came from five countries: Hun
gary, Russia, Spain, France, and
Honduras. They called their treat
ment on the island ga disgrace to
civilization" and pleaded for "all
that you be so kind and to do for
U.s."

FOR THE PEOPLE

On hundred and fifty years ago
this summer group of fifty-five
Americans planned and wrote an
historic document that stands as one
of the highest lights of human
achievement.
It sounded a new note in govern
ment. It made government of the
people, by the people, for the people
practical and lasting. It became the
inspiration and the model of demo
cratic governments throughout the
world.
1t was the Constitution of the
United States.
In this and succeeding articles
will be told each week the story OF
how, on the same dates of $50 years
ago, those fifty-five men wrought
through a sweltering Philadelphia
summer, to give the American ideal
of freedom both reality and per-
manent.
The Convention that wrote our
Constitution opened formally on
May Is, 1887, at Philadelphia, in the
historic structure already famous as
the birthplace of the Declaration OF
independence. It's purpose was to
achieve more practical form OF
union than was provided under the
Articles of Confederation, which
had proved so inadequate as to be
called "a rope of sand"
To many contemporary observers
that opening session seemed rela-
lively unimportant. But later his
torians learned to acknowledge it as
one of the most significant sessions
of the entire summer. For on that
date the Convention chose George
Washington as its presiding officer
Although his voice was seldom
heard thereafter in debate, into the
final product of that Convention
the American Constitution, was
woven much of the strength and
grandeur of his character.
Realizing, but undaunted by, the
difficulties ahead, Washington faced
them with a soldiers simple faith
and courage.
LET us raise" he urged, "a stand

FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Question: What can use for nat
ural skim-nilk in feeding young
calf?
Answer: Fresh powdered SKIM
milk, whe1 properly mixed with
water makss a good substitute for
the naturalskim milk. It can also be
used in the dry form in calf meal
mixtures. One pound of powdered
skim-milk % nine pounds of water
will give good mixture. Make a
paste by first mixing the skim-milk
powder with a small quantity of
water and then add to this paste a
sufficient quantity of water to give
the proper solution. The water
should be heated to a temperature
of 100 degrees before mixing and
the reconstructed milk fed immedi-
ately. The calf should be changed
from whole milk to the reconstruct
ed milk the same as when natural
skim-milk is used.
Question:: How much corn should
I plant to provide silage for ten
dairy COWS?
Answer: This depends upon the
fertility of the soil and the breed of
the COWS. On the average corn will
yield one ton of silage to each five
bushels of grain produced and the
required acreage must be estimated
on this basis. The average Jersey or
Guernye cow will consume from 80
to IS pounds of silage day which
will mean that each animal should
be provided from three to three and
one-half tons for six months feed
ing period. For your herd of ten
COWS about 33 tons will be needed
and to get this you should seed
enough acreage to produce approx
mately 165 bushels of grain.
Question: Is it safe practice tc
cross breed poultry?
Answer: There are several angles
to this question. A first generation
cross, if carefully planned, should
give higher INABILITY and an in
creased egg production over that OF
the parent line. In broilers, there
should be produced hybrid vigo1
which makes for lower mortality
and rapid growth. After this first
cross any additional cross breeding
does not do so we'll and, if practiced
year after year, the desirable quail
ties of the stock is gradually lost.

LARGE SPIDER FOUND IN
STORES BANANA BUNCH

Mrs. John Mac Edwards received
a most unpleasant surprise on Tues
day, when a large black spider
Jumped at her from bunch of ba-
nanas hanging in the window of the

Holding the cluster by the STEM
she had reached up to cut off some
of the fruit for a customer, when
the insect sprang toward her. AS
she drew back, the spider fell on the

George WG'hi"s'o" standing feature
was it's proposal of a National Legis-
lature in which the people should be
represented, rather than the sepa-
rate states.
It's basic principle was probably
best expressed by Madison when he
wrote: "The genius of republican
liberty seems to demand .. that all
power should be derived from the
people,
It proposed too, a National Execu-
tive and a National Judiciary.
All these proposals were new and
at variance with the Articles of
Confederation under which the new
nation had lived since the close of
the Revolution.
The second plan came from an
other Southerner, youthful Charles
Pinckney, of South Carolina. SINH
lar in general principles to the Ran
dolph Plan, it was more specific in
detailed provisions.
It was, however, the famous Vir-
ginia Plan which formed the basis
of the early debates. What was said
in those debates and how from them
developed the Constitution under
which our nation has risen to great
ness, will be told in succeeding ar
ticles.

Aged Father Dies in
Home at New Bern
Civil War Vet Startled Medical
World by Becoming Father
After 94th Birthday

New Bern, May 20.-George Isaac
Hughes died peacefully here today
of a heart attack after a life of 81
years, the last three of which saw
him gain international fame. The
Civil War veteran who at the age
of "a became the father of little
Franklin Roosevelt Hughes and only
last June was the proud father OF a
girl. Mary Gertrude, died in the lit
tie cabin home where he and his
29-year-old wife an children lived.
Wednesday night, the family ply
stefan called on him and found him
somewhat stronger than in previous
days, but early today came the
change for the worse. He died
peacefully.
For his first "a years, the Confed-
crate veteran lived in complete OBJ
security as far as the world in gener-
al was concerned. Then, just before
Christmas of 1884 and scarcely more
than a week before his birthday, tel
egraph wires carried from New
Bern the report that his wife had
given birth to son. The story made
front pages all over the country.
Make Investigation
Physicians were smilingly incred-
ulous. Their records, they said, fail
ed to show any authenticated in
stance of man of that age becom-
ing the father of child. A commit
tee of medical men came to New
Bern, however, and after an investi-
cation, announced that they were
convinced Hughes claim to pattern
ity was substantiated. They so re-
ported, and the record books of
medicine were revised.
Hughes merely snorted at the sug-
gestion that there should have been
any question of doubt, gave out in
terviews in which he predicted he
would live to 10, and admitted that
he was not yet content to rest upon
his laurels.
A few months later, he let it be
known that another arrival was ex-
pected at his house. Last June 8, the
daughter was born. This time no
body thought it was necessary to
send a committee, and the non
agenarian father received more pub
licity, but, unlike many other record
breakers, he was unable to cash in
on it to any appreciable extent, al
though his need was obvious.

SAYS BRICK BROODER
rs REST FOR POULTS

"A brick brOoder has 1t all over
a turkey or chicken hen in raising
poults,' said c. F. Parrish, extension
poultry specialist at State College.
A hen can be used successfully in
small flocks, he added, but unless
great care is exercised, the losses
will be heavy.
Either way, he continued, the
young turkeys should not be allow
ed to range on ground with older
birds or where adult turkeys or
chickens ranged the year before.
Where a brick brooder and a
! brooder house are used, both should
be cleaned thoroughly and moved to
a new location not used by poultry
or turkeys during the past two
years.
