GROWERS ENCOURAGE
THE STEAMSHIP LINE

Whereas, the future advancement
and prosperity of the East Coast of
Florida is vitality dependant upon the
securing of cheaper rates of transpOr-
tatiOn not only for articles there pro-
duced for shipment, but also for all
commodities and necessities of life
whether inward or outward bound.
And, whereas, the utilization of our
natural advantages in the way of water
transportation at every available point
affords the surest and most permanent
means of securing such reductions.
And, whereas, the fruit and vegetable
growers of the East Coast being not
only the producers of the outward
bound freights but also the ultimate
consumer of the greater proportion of
the inward bound commodities, are
most vitality interested in the question
of rates of transportation.
And, whereas, all begi n,ngs are diff.
cult and those who undertake to es-
tablsh new lines of transportation are
especially dependant not only upon the
good will, but also upon the actual and
material support of the community
which they undertake to serve.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the board of directors of the East Coast
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Associa-
ton, that the Cook Steamship Company
is entitled to the sympathy and pat.
ronage of the members of said associa-
ton, and they are hereby urged to use
al! proper and legitimate means to en-
courage and build up its enterprise and
especially by urging upon the merchants
and other receivers of freight the ne
cessity of sustaining the steamship
company by their patronage.
2. That those merchants and others
of the community who by their cour-
ageous and answering support of the
steamship company have rendered pos
sible its Institution and maintenance
are entitled to the warm commentator
of all persons interested in the future
prosperity of our section.
g. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished to each o. the newspapers
printed in the territory covered by our
association, with request for publica-
ton.

take to use it for snake bites. When
| a person has been bitten by a poison
Gus snake, every precaution should be
taken to prevent the venom from be-
ing distributed through the body by
the blood. Whisky is stimulant, and
it increases the circulation of the
blood, and thus facilitates the dis
tribution of the poison through the
body.
Three things 1 always carry with
me when 1 am hunting poisonous
snakes-a sharp-pointed knife, stick
of caustic and some strong cord. II
1 am bitten on the leg 1 at once bind
the leg with a cord above the wound
and then use the sharp-pointed knife
and the caustic. This is a much
safer method than drinking a quart
of whisky"
After two years of snake hunting in

ployed, says the Kansas City Times.
He lives at 5O1A Park avenue

"A waistcoat made of rattlesnaHe

grave defect in the system of coast de-
Iense tnat the war department adopt
ed the plan of requiring the militia
FORCES OF the sea coast states to spend
ten days or more in duty within the
forts instead of in summer encamp-
ments, as had formerly been the rule
This change was for the purpose of
familiarizing the militia with the
handling of the big guns, thus forming
a reserve that might be quickly util-
lied in case of some sudden emer-
eency.
Man New Forts This Year.
In accordance with this general
plan the infantry and artillery of the
Rhode Island militia will this year
man the forts in Narragansett bay and
Fort Mansfield, below Watch Hill
The latter is in the New London ar
tillery district, and the men assigned
to that post will be doing the same
work under the commandant of New
London that the bulk of the state
troops will do at the Narragansett bay
forts under Col. Howe in June
By reason of the great shortage of
men, only six companies of coast ar
tillery are now stationed in the forts
These are Companies rs, 81, ITO, 1T,
129 and $50. But that the war depart
ment contemplates making this region
around Newport and Narragansett bay
the chief drill ground of the depart
ment of the east is shown by the fact
that board of army officers recently
made an elaborate survey of the
shores of Narragansett bay and
mapped out camp sites sufficiently ex-
tensive to encamp an army of 500, 900
men.
This board also selected places
where additional batteries could be
placed if need be, and where signal
stations and searchlights could be in
stalled. Report had it that some of
these sites included some of those oc-
cupied by the summer colony in the
vicinity of Ocean avenue. The report
so much exercised some of the land
owners that delegation of these went
to Washington to make inquiries at
the war department. But, following
it's usual policy, the department kept
necessary to use the sites, it will use
them, no matter what landlords may
say or think
No Real Cause for Worry.
Heavy firing heard off the New
England coast was newspaper
headline that had frequent employ
ment in the early days of the Spanish
American war. AS a matter of fact,
there was no firing there at all, but
Newport, as well as other seaports,
trembled every time the report was
made. If the city only had known it,
its defenses even then were puissant
enough to fend off any attack that
poor Spain could have made. But
while the army and navy knew this,
the average citizen did not. And until
Cervera's fleet was blockaded in Santi-
ago, the average seaboard citizen was
generally obsessed with notion that
he had cause to worry.
But thanks to the awakening which
that little war brought about and to
