Death to White Fly.

St. Petersburg FlaD Gazette:
George Mcars the orange grower
of St. Petersburg, has been cX-
perimeniing along all lines to rid
the peninsula of the white nv.
Today he is ready to back it against
anything that has been offered as
vet and scores of his friends will
attest that the Gold Dust has ever
thing else faded to a frazzle.
The solution is one pound of
Gold Dust to ten gallons OF water.
1t has Killed the white fly, the
red spider, scale, in fact every
parasite, and even the orange dog
Succuinbs to the solution.
1t kills the bug and gives new
and stronger growth to the tree.
Besides all this, the solution is
not pOisOnous---On the contrary
it is known as a sanitary house
hold commodity.
This is not an advertisement for
Gold Dust. The publication of
this story will be a surprise to the
people who make the washing
powder. 1t is given to the orange
growers as a remedy to rid them
of the greateast curse they ever
met up with---the white fly. Not
alone is Florida in its throes. in
California they are cutting down
whole orchards to rid the state of
the pest.
The Potter grove was sprayed a
couple of weeks ago with the
solution and Mr.. Potter said it
killed the white fly by the million,

Fire Destroys a Boat.

Tuesday morning, just about a
O'Clock the fire alarm was sounded /;
being for a fire in the boat of Mr..
Otis Hoffpauir, which was just
about to leave with party for a
days outing to the bay. The boat
was practically a complete loss.
Mr.. Hoffpauir stated that it had
cost him about $4,000, and had
81 200 insurance on it. 1t seems
as though the fire was started by a
lamp, and before any one had time
to do anything the boat was showed
into the bayou, so as to get it
away from the nearby buildings.
The lunch baskets and bathing
suits were lost, except one or two,
and practically everything on the
boat.
Chester Labit was hit on the
eye, accidentally, as he approached
the place where a gentleman was
taking a rife from the boat, the
handle striking him.

After experimenting for two
years with electric starters, the
Hup Motor Car Co., of Detroit,
Mich, announces that OH and
after Sept. LIST their "Hup 32''
will be electrically started and
lighted, and will be optional with
the buyer. In other words, the
Hup 81 can be bought with or
without the starter and electric
lights.
Carrying out their policy of a
simplicity and accessibility, the
starting device adopted by the
Hupmobile factory, will be the
most simple, yet efficient, ever
put OH any car, and will carry the
same guarantee as the Hups and
will help make the Hup 80 in its
class, the best car in the world.
On crippled rims, with but a
bare minute to spare, the second
Hupmobile 81 entered in the 1913
Glidden Tour, dashed under the
massive redwood arch that framed
the picturesque finish of the tour.
Twelve minutes before, the other
Hupmobile entery, was brought in
the final control by safe margin,
thus making for the Hups, perfect
scores.
The 1913 Glidden Tour though
being but l, 800 miles, was one
that put the cars to the most severe
test, when for the first three days
the going was awful from rain and
mud.
Leaving Fargo, n. D. OIL the
third day, they went through
ninety miles of the worst gumbo
ever found and the crippled pace
maker caused every car to slow
down to 10 miles per hour. Then
it was that the Hupnobile made a
showing that stood as a record for
the trip. Every radiator, except
those of the Hups. boiled from
two to four times. but the Hup
radiators never took OH water
anywhere during the trip out of
control,
Hupmobiie enthusiasm was man
ifested all along the route of the
Glidden Tour extending fromMin-
neapolis to Glacier National Park,
but it remained for Williston, North
Dakota to show exclusive organiza-
ton of Hupmobile owners. Twenty
five of them greeted the Hup
teams at the station with a band
of sixteen pieces, and afterwards
turned over their Hupmobile for
the entertainment of the entire

Another victory for the Hup-
mobile was the winning of the
First Grand Prix held in Russia
OIL June Sth, 1913.
A Hupmobile 20 entered in this
tour was awarded first prize. The
race was held on the outskirts OF
St. Petersburg, the distance being
200 miles, and in many places
there was considerable rough
going. No assistance being allowed
a contestant whatsoever.
The Hupmobile was the only
American car that participated in
the race and was only a stock car
which had been taken direct from
the packing hox in which it had
been shipped from the factory.
The day following the Grand
Prix was devoted to speed races.
Two Hup 81 models were entered
for the one mile time record. In
the trial heats, more than two
dozen cars were eliminated and
for the final run "a cars were
entered, of which the only Amer
lean cars, were Hupm obiles. They
swept everythings before them
and took first snd SECOND prizes,

TWO STRONG POINTS OF VIEW
Society Divided Into Camps on Ques-
tion That Has Always Been Con-
sidered Important.

No work under heaven is more i'm
perative than the rescue Of young and
innocent girls; no crime Is more das-
tardly than the sale Of their youth and
innocence; no charity is greater than
that which lifts the sinner from her
sin. But the fact that we habitually
apply the term white slave" to the
willful prostitute as well as to the
entrapped child, shows that power
full and popular sentiment Is absolved
from the shackles Of accuracy. Also
that this absolution confuses the
minds of men. The sentimentalist
pities the prostitute as victim, the
sociologist abhors her as menace
The sentimentalist conceives that men
prey. and women are preyed upon;
the sociologist, aware that evil men
and women prey upon one another
ceaselessly and ravenously has no
measure Of tenderness for either. The
sentimentalist clings tenaciousiy TO

Morning found the great capital In
the splendor of deep mourning. The
elevated sidewalks, the roof gardens,
the terraces were crowded by people
dressed In black. The newspaper roof
terraces were especially crowded;
there, on immense opal glass plates
sparks Of electricity printed the latest
news and illustrated the happenings
Of the moment with moving pictures.
On the main tower of the new capi-
tol building "a colossal creation Of
pure American architecture) the Bell
Orchestra, comprising four hundred
players, played the march Of Com
ing Peace" a march that thrilled the
hearts with Its melody, that elevated
the souls with thoughts Of Heaven,
that drove away evil thoughts with its
exquisite harmony and foretold the
happiness awaiting beyond. Resonant
horns spread the melody farther and
farther. until it soothed the mourning
people In neighboring towns.
The fourteen-hour San Francisco
limited had just slid into the central
depot Of the Tube Lines; the broad
glass doors were flung open and the
passengers hurried out.

With steady hand she transcribed
her notes on the typewriter, but when
she came to the word written by Han
nibal Prudent, "Cirynith," the tears

She could not understand the mean

from the East and the West. Europe
