made appropriations sufficiently large
tl put a man jn the field whom they
tmnl can carry out the work These
appropriations range from $175 up
to $1,200, and additional funds are
raised from other sources.
The State Demonstration work is
now under the supervision of P. H.
Rolfs, Director of University Exten
sion; C. K. McQuarrie Jstate Agent;
A. r. Spencer, District Agent ior
South Florida, and E. S. Pace, Dis
trint An-ont for Wpst. Florida, and
Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, Assistant

The nnmose of the meetinir of the.

still be emphasized, while other lines
of farming will be taken up as fast
as the agents can jianoie tne situa
tion. The first morning of the meeting
was taken up with matters concern
ing the Boys' Clubs. In the after
noon the discussions were about hog
raising, curing meats, hog cholera,
etc. At night ur. uox, oi tne uni
versity of Florida, presented a splen

Tick Eradication in Florida, then
Crop Rotations, Soil Building, msn
Potatoes, Fertilizers, Co-opt ativc
Pmiini, nf Fertilizers, and a demon
stration of inoculation with hog chol
era serum. These topics were han
dled by professors of the University,
county agents, and the State Veteri
narian. Probably the most mteresi.-
ine1 discussion of the day was led by
Mr. T. K. Godbey, of Waldo, the
sweet potato king, who has made
sweet potatoes a very profitable crop
and who answered a great many
miestinns rpo-nrHinp" his methods of
raising sweet potatoes. Mr. Godbey
is the best Known sweet pouiiu grow
er in the South, and his lecture was
most instructive and interesting. Oth
er discussions were on Legumes,
Beef Cattle in Florida, Grazing Crops,
Sugar Cane, the Cotton T3oll Weevil,

of the most important "things, if not
the most, was a demonstration of im

The final session was one of in

Mr. Savely emphasized the important

LUCK AND LOVE.
First He Won the Father, and Then He
Captured the Heireas.
A dozen years ago. fresh from the
school of Versullles, came a younu un
der lieutenant of artillery In liix new
uniform, returning from Normaud.v.
where he had been to see hi iirntlier
On the train the young otllc-er round
himself seated beside mi old uiiin. wlui.
like himself, wa n"li"C to 1'iuls.
They entered Into louversntlou. An
ninlable Ihtiumc.v was established be
tween the two travelers. At the west
station the old iieiitleinuu. taking leave
of the young otliter, said, "1 ueed a
soii-ln law like you."
Three umntliH later the officer re
turned to Normandy. He narrated
the Incident nf the journey to his
brother mid iiiestlniied liiin about the
straiiL'e companion.
"I know tills old fellow." responded
the brother. "Io you know that he
offered you u very pretty partner? His
daughter possesses nn income of l'JO.
0K) frniies."
"Where is she? I'll go after her."
said the oUicer.
The brother made a sorrowful ges
ture. "Alas! you are a little lute."
"Ell, what! Is the young girl to be
married?"
"So: her father was buried eight
days' ago."
The Jieiitenant was silent for a mo
ment. "But I knew her father. A visit
of condolence ! imposed upon me."
Dressed In l.'s best uniform, he call
ed upon the lady. He spoke in the
most tender terms of the old gentle
man. Without doubt the prestige of
the uniform was not without effect on
the young provincial, and the story as

VENUS HOT AND COLD.
One Half the Planet Burns, While the
Other Half Always Freezee.
Venus, the "evening star" of the po
ets, the most brilliant object In our
western sky. that planet which re
volves around the sun In a path Inside
ours, must it' inhabited have beings of
a very different type from ourselves,
for Venus lias always had one hemi
sphere tinned toward the sun and one
turned away from It. Consequently it
Is always daytime and summer on
one-half of Veuus. always uiglit and
winter on the other half.
As Venus is more than 23.000.000
miles uearer the sun than we are. It
must be twice as hot on her day side
as it ever is at our equator. And on
her night side, where a ray of sun
light has never shone, it must be so
cold that the air ts liquefied, if not
solidified. There must be constant
uprush of hot air from the scorched
surface and a corresponding inrush of
Icy air from the frigid side. Along the
boundary between the two hemi
spheres this must cause a violent and
perhaps almost perpetual rainfall.
Seen through a small telescope or
field glass Venus often appears like a
crescent Then are visible the pro
jections that can be nothing but moun
tains of great height New York

The Chain of Lakes.
North Missouri's famous huntlug
ground, knowa as the Chain of Lakes,
having resisted all attempts to drain
and cultivate, has been allowed to re
turn to its natural state. The Chain
of Lakes is wilderness surrounded by
rich farming land, towns and good
country roads. This section was the
original happy hunting ground for the
Indians of the west. On the banks of
the Chariton river, nt the edge of the
lake territory, they pitched their wig
wams, built a stone fort or dam and
put up an ingenious fish trap, for there
were no game wardens in those days.
That trap, repaired and strengthened
from time to time, was inherited by
white men who followed the Indians
and operated half a century. Then the
game wardens, attracted by the an
cient fish trap's fame, went over to the
river and blew it up with dynamlte.

STORY OF A FRONT TOOTH.
A Small Fortune That Was Restored to
Its Rightful Owners.
One winter niornins a little boy of
eisht or ten years run into the office of
the United Charities' in New York city
crying bitterly. Between his sobs he
irnsped out. "Uncle has stolen mother's
front tooth: please set It back for us."
His mother, then lying tloiid al home,
was an actress. In her youth she hud
had a large diamo'id inserted in hor
front tooth, and the advertisement had
proved profitable.
As the years passed misfortune over
took her; she was deserted by her hus
band: the family larder was often
empty and the children hungry. Reso
lutely she refused to pnrt with the dia
mond, always telling the children that
after her death the money it brought
would supiiort them for some time.
When the little mother became ill
with tuberculosis the children h'jshed
her fears Hliout their future with reas
surances of the value of the jewel. But
before the funeral a wicked uncle i-anie
in the night and pulled out the tootli.
An ollieer was sent at once to the
uncle with threats of nrrest If restitu
tion whs not made nt once. The mis
sion v.ns smcessful. the tooth restored,
tin- diamond taken nut. sold nnd the
prorei'ds tird for the ihililieu -Oru-denseii

Father's Ultimatum.
The father of a large family of chil
dren was trying hard to read the even
ing paper
"What's that terrible racket In the
hall. Martha?"
"One of the children Jdst fell down
stairs." "Well." he replied, turning over an
other page of the paper, "you tell the
children If they can't fall downstairs
quietly they'll have to stop it" Lip-pincott's.
