GROW MORE STEERS
IN FLORIDA

Conditions in Europe now give
special emphasis to the rare oppor-
tunity here in Florida to build up
a great cattle industry. Not only
is beef on the hoof in the United
States scarcer than it has been in
any time for years past, but in the
warning lands across the water the
necessities of the huge armies and
the ravages Of war have denuded the
country of cattle and it is sure that
for years to come beef will COM
mand high price and cattle raising
be among the most profitable of in
dustries. 1t is now demonstrated
that many parts of Florida are Pc
culiarly fitted for this form of enter
prise and in such localities it would
pay much better than truck farming
or fruit growing. A western paper
has this to say as to present Euro
pean conditions which make so plain
the opportunity for Florida:
AN American war correspondent,
Harry p. Burton, writes: In the
most exclusive restaurant in Paris
you can buy neither butter, cream
or milk. Every cow in the country
has been Communicated for the
army That is, taken for beef. This
means that high as meat it, it will
naturally go higher. so great is the
slaughter of beef animals in Europe.
The United States, Canada, Austria
liza and Argentina will be looked to
for meat, not only for home con-
sumption, but for Europe. To a
large extent they will be called upon
for breeding animals and for dairy
products after the cruel war is over.
AS Farm and Fireside says, In
France at least the farm herds are
swept out of existence, and the
same thing exists in all probability
in each of the warning nations. ;
This means that cattle and dairy
products will be scarce in Europe
for years after the war is over, and
there are four hunded million in
habitants on that continent to be
fed. 1t will take years to remedy
this loss to the farmers of Europe.
with the peasants COW taken to
be slaughtered and fed to the SOL
diers in the field, the demand for
beef and dairy animals will be far
greater than those countries can
supply. American farmers should
raise all the cattle that is possible
Corn and oats, alfalfa and clover,
cattle and sheep and swine, will be
the most profitable products for our
farmers for years to come"

The Ocala Banner, quoting the
Tampa Tribune to the effect that the
late Confederate reunion in Lake
land was the most successful and
enjoyable ever held in Florida, NOR
allies as follows:
"The more We recede from the
war the more pleasant these gather
ings are because the incidents that
they gave birth to can be discussed
without rancor or bitterness. Next
year it will have been full fifty years
since AppomattoX and the reunions
will be more than of general inter
est "

The immortality of the Demo-

accepted almost as a fundamental

it's a long road from a black eye to

There is no rest for the harrled

OLD VETS
WEMISS YOU

Yes, old vets, We miss you. We
remember way back In 1862 when
you marched along our public roads
with the sound of fife and drum, to
our country church grounds to drill
and prepare for the great civil con-
flict which once alienated the North
lind the South. You were then in the
flush of health and vigorous man
hood, with aspirations soaring to
the skies. How l envied your clean,
gray uniforms, and bright muskets.
and wished then that was old
enough to join you (which l did be-
fore the war closed, though a mere
boy) You looked so erect, SO full Of
Southern chivalry as you marched
along to the sound Of fife and drum
that l felt the highest aspirations Of
my life was to become a soldier
wearing the gilt edge trimmings, or
star of an officer. Now you are old
and gray and bent, but we love you,
and miss you from the streets of our
hospitable Lakeland.
Some of your comrades never re-
turned to their homes and country
church yards. where they used to
drill in their young and hopeful
manhood. Where mothers prayed
on Bonded knees for the safety
home coming of their hero sons, who
never came. Even the faithful old
dog missed the young master, and
the spirited saddle horse whined for
the dashing, agile rider who never
came back.
Those were sad, dark days for the
old gray haired parents, when your
return from the turmoils of battle
brought not the sight of some of
their most cherished hopes of life.
Gloom spread over our southern
homes, where sunshine and happi-
ness was wont to enter. Houses
were demolished and fields laid bare.
1t was indeed a sad picture after
four years of strenuous combat,
without resources, against almost
unlimited numbers. we'll fed and
equipped.
What courage it took to rebuild
these homes and make fertile again
the devastated fields! But you had it
in you, and you did it. Now you
have the satisfaction Of gazing upon
your handiwork of courage in peace.
as well as in war, and you can ex-
claim with us: "Well done good and
faithful soldiers and builders. -
Heroes in war; heroes in peace! No
wonder we love you. We like the
CLINT of your eye, the pose of your
honest, courageous countenance
The warm clasp of your hands acts
as an electric current, instilling
within us some of the courage that
you possess. Some of you We have
not met for over twenty years; we
were glad to see you; we were sad
to sec you go. T: J. HOOKS.

BRIEF WAR NEWS

The bombardment OF Russian ports
on the Black Sea coast by Turkish
warships was tho most important
event In the European conflict during
the past week. The entrance OF Tur.
key into the conflict on the side OF
the Germans adds to the complica-
tions and will undoubtedly widen the
area affected.
The bombardment Of the Russian
ports seems to have taken place with
out the direct sanction OF the Turkish
foreign office. The Turkish foreign
minister made disavowal to the
French ambassador, declaring the &c.
ton was due to the German officers
and crews on the Turkish war ships.
This disavowal did not prevent
breach and state of war exists be-
tween Great Britain, France and Rus.
sia
Germany failed to carry forward
her offensive In western Belgium dur
ing the week The dominant German
military maxim to be always doing
something, has been well emphasized

suit.

THE INCREASE IN IMPORTS.

The increase in imports under the Underwood tariff bill, about thirty millions a month, has been matter of curiosity. Reports for May are only in gross, but classified figures for April are out.
 They justify the belief that the in- crease in custom receipts over the estimate of the administration is largely due to duties reduced, but they do not uphold the theory that the increase in totals was due to inn portation of free foods and reduced textile manufactures in competition with domestic products.
 The largest increase is in wool and manufactures of wool-over eight millions. The only large increase in free foods is in animals, meats and dairy products-nearly five millions. In none of these has there been a general fall in price, and wool is higher than it has been for years. Silk and sugar increase two and half millions each, due largely to in- creased duties, without much fall in price. Coffee, the only other in- crease over two millions, is unaffect- ed by the tariff.
 On the other side, breadstuffs, cot ton manufactures, steel and iron and paper, of which heavy reductions were made for the benefit of the con- sumer, show the smallest decreases, all below a million, and steel and iron less than fifty thousand. Appar ently we have reached stage of in- dustrial development where prices vary more from natural than legis- .lative reasons and where our duties have more effect on revenues than on prices.

MISUSE OF PUBLICITY.

The disclosures in the New Haven railroad case show that the direct. ors financed newspaper to the tune of $4OO,OO0 of stockholders money, the aim being, of course, to Use the newspaper to influence public opin- ion. In earlier days this form of attempting to mold the public view was not unusual. In recent years it has been comparatively rare. For ambitious magnates have discovered that when a newspaper is subsidized to convey transformation it loses it's force. In other words, when a news paper is run for selfish interests it is at once deprived of it's authority. The moment the public discovers that newspaper wears corporation collar of gold it becomes nil as an influence in its community.
 The New Haven roads directors even went further than that, it is al legged. They spent, it is said, many dollars to bribe weak reporters, thus doing serious damage in at least three directions, namely: To them selves, to the reporters, and to the newspapers that employed the re- porters. It would be interesting to know-and probably further revela- tions may tell us-how many at- tempts of this kind were made and in how few cases it succeeded. We shall be much surprised if the per centage is high. It has been said by men who ought to know that the very hardest men to reach" are newspa- per reporters. Usually they have a very high sense of honor in such af- fairs. That is the teaching they re- ceive. So we'll known has this sense of honor become that efforts to bribe them are rare. Discovery, of course, means disgrace and dismissal, and discovery, sooner or later, is high ly probab ble.
 There are legitimate ways for rail. roads to place their causes before the public, and efficient use of funds for proper publicity is justifable. The
