Joined; Il mean how do you manage to

Harrison has a thick crop OF beard
on his face. his hair is shaggy and
matted. and he looks like he can eat
anything. The judge asked him if he
could eat grass.
No, grass is a little too coarse for
ms. I so along and pick up a potato

Marshall Vestel Of Plant City was
in court. Oficer vestel told the judge
that Harrison stayed in the Plant City

BY DECISION OF THE FEDERAL

OF THE CONSTITUTION.

The Florida coupon law has unani-
nlouSly been declared unconstitutional
and invalid by the three United States
judges which recently gave hearing
to both sides in the case at Hunts
vile, Ala, says the Tampa Times,
Judge Rhydon NJ. Call of the Southern
district of Florida, who wrote the opin-
ion, has announced the decision, which
is adverse to the state authorities and
favorable to the merchants making the
night against the coupon law.
The hearing was given by Judges
William B Sheppard OF Pensacola,
Judge Call of Jacksonville and Judge
David D. Shelby Of Huntsville Ala,
Their decision that the statute enacted
by the legislature Of 1913. imposing a
tax of $3.50 on each dealer for each
place of business and for each brand of
cigars. cigarettes or other articles car
ried in the package contains any re-
deemable coupon is unconstitutional,
will probably settle the question with

The Kissimmee Gazette prints the
below item: r. j. Roliff one of the
foremost BREEDERS of Hereford cattle of
West Virginia, visited Kisstmmee last

splendid opp ortunities OF producing
cheap beef. and recognizing the great
need of a better breed of cattle, has
decided to come to Florida and embark
In the growing OF a better grade OF
cattle than We have here at the present
time.
Just such men as Mr.. Roliff is what
brings q country into its own, and de-
ve1ops the possibilities that are sure
and certain. The fact that cattle
never require feed at any time during
the year, that there is always plenty
OF grass and no lack OF water at any
time, with no severe storms. makes
this state an ideal place for the cattle
growing industry. which is sure to
grow to Larger proportions.
4 Florida alone consumes more than
5000 beeves daily, thus the home mar
kets are encouraging and constantly
growing better, and there can never be
sufficient beef grown any more to sup

extremely low prices, can be counted

and if the use of coupons as advertis-
ing. and trade bringing methods were
not dropped, amount to thousands Of
dollars and affect even the smallest

The opinion, which is brief, filing
but ten typewriter pages, concludes:
I'VE do not care, however, to con-

violates the interstate commerce clause
Of the constitution. Having reached
the conclusion that the section violates

necessary that We consider the other
