The Florida senate late today referred to a special committee Governor Har dee's recommendation that Sheriff J. R. Jones of Leon county, of which Tallahassee is the county seat, be re moved from office. The committee will investigate ac cusations against the sheriff and make its recommendations- to the senate. The governor's recommendation to the senate grew out of the Investiga tion of the death of Martin Tarbet. North Dakota youth, who is alleged to have been whipped to death in a convict camp. Under the Florida law the gover nor can suspend an officer only when the legislature is not in session. When it i3 in session he can only re commend to the senate permanent re moval from office. The senate, there fore, must act to impeach Jones. EGGS FOR HATCHING Rose Comb Rhode Island Red eggs for hatching. Best of stock. $4.00 per 100. Call Mrs. M. S.

Governor Bryan, Secretary Pool and Tax Commissioner Smith will form a majority of the state board and can do as they wish in the mat ter of increasing or decreasing the taxes of railroads. Suits by railroads are now pend ing in the federal court. The Bur lington. Northwestern and M. & O. roads obtained an order from the fed eral court for permission to pay 75 per cent of their taxe3 to county treasurers. The Burlington in this suit contests the valuation placed upon its property by the state board for the year 1922 and the North western and M. & O. roads are con testing the valuation of their prop erty in 1921. This case may come up for hearing in the federal court in May, possibly in time to be settled before the state board values rail road property this year :rost of the wheat in this region is very low, and a heavy abandonment J is expected here also.

In south central, counties the adverse condition was further aggravated by blowing and filling up the drill rows containing the small weak plants and much of the wheat was smiply smoth ered. Digging out the drill rows will reveal the yelowish smothered plants. T!. is same explanation applies also to considerable of the early seeding.

While in some of the cases the youngsters may be good drivers, the fact remains that the practice, if continued, will lead to serious results for the young drivers and the public in general. Tne state lawmakers had this point in view when they formulated the section of the statutes that pro vides that a driver of a motor ve hicle shall not be a person of less than sixteen years of age. Had they deemed others of more tender years fitted to drive a car they would have lowered the age requirements instead of placing it at a period when the youth is considered to have reason able judgment in handling an auto. The city and county authorities have had the problem of regulation before them and if the practice of giving the autos over the younger members of the family to drive is continued by the auto owners it will lead eventually to some of the vio lators getting mixed up with the ma chinery of the law and its corre sponding disagreeable outcome. the present time, only can be expected. a small crop LUTHERAN CHURCH Eight Mile Grove Precinct SPEEDER IS IDENTIFIED - AS A TRAIN ROBBER Announcements for the 4th day after Easter.
