ABOLITION OF HOTEL COMMISSION BILL IS PROPOSED (BY HERBERT FELKEL.) Tallahassee.. May 24. Senator Sin gletary attempted today to pass a bill abolishing the hotel commission and putting the inspection of hotels under the board of health, but failed to get the matter to . a vote. However, be fore adjournment was t.-.ken he suc ceeded in making the original bill, his. substitute and the Roland substitute for the substitute a special order for tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock. He called up the original bill and sub stituted in its place the one to abolish the state hotel inspector and his of fice. The Roland substitute for that would leave the commission in' tact but increase the fees, it was stated, fixing the salary of the commissioner at $2,500 a year, that" official to be p polnted as "how by the governor. During the discussion it was stated that the fees collected Were not pay ing the expenses of the department When Senator Mathis moved to com mit" the bills, Senator Singletary said i prof essdr . of chemistry at Northwest- Washington, May 24. At the educa tional exposition,-Illustrating the war time and reconstruction activities of the department of the Interior, now being held there- is being shown un der guar! a sample of the most ter rible super-poison gas known, the dis covery of Prof. W.- Lee Iewis, while In the employ of the bureau of mines at its American University labora tories. ' ; - This gas, formerly called "Lewis ite," late known , as "Methyl," be cause the latter name meant nothing t -ocurious persons, was being man ufactured by the war department at the rate of ten tons a day when the armistice was signed, The gas Is being variously describ ed as "the climax of the country's achievements in the lethal arts," and as "the most terrible Instrument o" manslaughter ever conceived. The department itself declares that It la the most deadly of all war s-ase, much more deadly than mustard gas, which heretofore was known by chem ists as "the king of poison gases." It is. said that ten airplane loads of "Methyl" would I have been sufficient to destroy all life in Berlin, if such extreme measures had been necessary. and that a single day's output would have been sufficient to snuff out the four million human lives on the Is land of Manhattan. This gas was not only discovered by Prof. Lewis, "but was also devel oped; by him. to a point where it was ready for production at the American University while those laboratories were still under the control of the bureau of mines, one of the organiza tions of the department' of the In terior. When this work was first taken up by the bureau In behalf of the military authorities. Prof. Lewis was called from his civilian duties as that would be equivalent to killing his bill to abolish the office because it would mean the death of all new legislation on the subject as far as this session was concerned. The chair ruled that Senator Roland's substitute for the substitute would be out of order but suggested that.it might be offered as an amendment, the Singletary bill being struck out from the enacting clause down and the substitute insert ed in lieu thereof. Such an amendment was being prepared when the motion to make the entire matter a special order was put and prevailed. iiimm.illiii.MMHiiiiiiiiil iiuii Jii ym-i.., t-l! mi ujii i uiu ., ininii n -i.n. , , ,lllul ,i n . , ,, "You gsg:, ; Know "S, : ; 1 I , has the e oods and fllf slide over the pal- r I ... r. i . 1 has the goods and puts the ordinary pop in the class with the also rans.

Noth ing need be add ed for it's ern University, Evanston, 111., and at the request of the bureau was commis sioned as captain in the ordrumce department - and asisgned -to the gas warfare service of the bureau ' of mines. While acting in this capacity Prof. Lewis discovered and developed the gas,, and eighteen days after thd gas work of the bureau of mines was transferred to the Jurisdiction of the war department an eleven-acre plant for its manufacture was started near Cleveland, Ohio, where the work was conducted under the strictest mil itary secrecy. .This plant, which was dubbed by the workmen the "mouse trap" because, in order to prevent the leakage of information, it was under stood that the men who entered would nto leave until the war was over, was in operation within a miraculously short time, and plans were made r by the war department to have 3,000 tons of this most diabolitical gas at the American front by March 1, 1919. When the armistice came the plant was well ahead of its production schedule, but "the opportunity had not come for the use of the gas at the bat tle front. Thus the Germans did not have 'a chance to obtain a first-hand experience with this most frightful of all poison gases, of which it Is said that a single drop on the hand will penetrate to the blood . and soon reach the heart, when it kills the vic tim in great agony. It is declared that among the 800 men at the plant there was not one fatality, this im munity being largely due to the pro viding of all employes with gas masks, protective clothing and" extreme pre cauttons in operation.

Scott, vice president of the Ex periment Station, University of Flor ida Prof. Scott says: "What is the obJe of a county fair? What benefits are derived from it? Who is responsible for making the county fair a success? "The object of a county fair should be educational to the largest degree possible. This can be ccomplishea by having exhibits of the best crops and of the best livestock in the county, along with some Information, such as the name and variety of the crop shown, how many bushels per acre was grown and the expense of growing the crop, Including the amount and analysis of the fertilizer. 'This will bring before the people of the different sections the best crops that are being grown, . and will be a help to others in growing these crops. With - exhibits of livestock, the breed, age and weight should - be given.' It it is a dairy cow, give the gallons or pounds of milk produced in the year, and the pounds of butter made. It would be Interesting to 'state the kinds of feed and the amount given a day. : "Exhibits must be made attractive so that people will take time to stop and examine them thoroughly. Looks count for a great deal in exhibits, as well as in other things. The writer has seen many good exhibits affairs that were not appreciated Simply be cause they were not arranged in an attractive manner. Other exhibits that were not so good, but arranged more attractively received more recognition. , "In exhibiting livestock it is abso lutely necessary to have the animals in good condition if you wish to make a good showing. They should receive a little extra feed and care for 60 days before they are put on exhibi tion, and should be in good flesh. "It will be necessary to use shears or clippers to remove any long hair around the horns and ears of the cat tle, and especially inside the ears, ut-ten-time the clipping of long hair on the rump and tail will . greatly im prove the apearance of the animals. The shearing and clipping must be done with considerable care so as not to disfigure the anlaml. Practically the same treatment should be given the horses and mules. This preparation should be done at least a month before the animals are put on exhibit. Don't be afraid to use soap and water. See that the skin is in good condition. Use the curry-comb freely, ; and also a good brush. See that the hair is bright and shiny. The horns of the cattle should be polished. This can best be done by the use of sandpaper or em ery paper, which will take off the rough edges. After these rough edges are taken off, polish with a woolen cloth, and a little oil applied to the cloth will be found helpful. The hoofs of both the cattle and horses should have attention. See to it . that the hoofs are trimmed and clean. Horses, mules and cattle when shown as indi viduals should be broken to the halte so that they can be shown to better advantage. ' Plan Ahead for Exhibits. "Getting exhibits is usually a diffi cult problem. This is not because the farmers have any objection to exhibit ing material, but beacuse they do not have the material. To have an abun dance of good material for exhibits means that plans for. having it. must be made in advance of the planting season. The same Is true with live stock. -The cows and .sows must be bred at the proper time so that th calves and pigs will be the proper ags , to enter in the various classes. The Individual's Responsibility. "A successful county fair should" have exhibits from all sections of the county. If all sections of the county are not represented It is not truly a county fair. If all sections of the county are represented, as they shoulj be, it means a good deal of individual responsibility. It means that some one must be responsible for exhibit fro meach section of the county. Are you willing to take this responsibility? There is no reason why you should not take that responsibility and see to it that there is a creditable exhibit at the next county fair. . . Community Responsibility. "In addition to the Individual re sponsibility, there Is a pertain amount of community responsibility. in addi tion to individual farm exhibits, there should be community exhibits. There Is no good reason why the next coun ty fair should not have from ten to a dosen community exhibits. To get these community exhibits there must be cooperation of Individuals in each community. The farmers and stock men should get together four or five months In advance of the fair and de cide on what they will exhibit. Then again some one must be responsible for getting the exhibits ready to send t the fair and see that it Is arranged properly after it arrives. "What better advertising can. anv community get than can be gotten as a result of a good exhibit Remuneration. ' 1fae county fair is J not a money making Institution. If the exhibitor puts his exhibits in the best possible condition to show, the prizes than he may take will not always pay for his aniQi it on save mum iMfcaJJi Paints and Varnishes Match Up the Freshness of Spring ' The freshness and beauty of spring is ah inspiration to freshen up the home and porch furniture in sympathy with the bright out door life and to renew the finish on dark, dreary, worn indoor and outdoor surfaces.

There may be some direct monetary return from prizes, but the greatest returns will be the good word spoken of the individual farm or com munity. This is worth more to a farm or community than any direct money return that can be expected in the way of prizes. "New settlers are looking for loca tions in just such communities. These community exhibits will attract' -i larger number of the right kind of settlers than a carload of literature.''
