CENTRAL OR EASTERN TIME

To the Tampa Times, Greeting:
One of the many good reasons Mi
ami had for adopting eastern time
was because she likes to see noon on
the clock and noon by the sun cor
respond in time Florida is very
silly to have its midday at eleven
o'clock.-Miami Metropolis.
1t doesn't. At Miami it is mid
day at 1928 At Ocala, it is mid
day at 1881. The entire tendency
of modern times is for men and
women to have a a little more time
in the crowded morning. The time
Florida is now working on gives
tired people a little more rest, and
in the winter time saves poor folks
a big bill for electric light, gas or
kerosene.
If We change the time to eastern,
it will make us all get up an hour
sooner, which will be long before
daylight four months in the year.
And it won't let US go to bed a min
ute sooner.
Twenty-Five years ago, the writer
had a chance to see how central
time worked, crossing the South
from Savannah to FL Paso. Change
to standard time had then been in
operation only few years, and peo-
pie had not forgotten how sun time
worked.
Savannah was on eastern time,
which didn't suit any but the rail
road people. All local work was
carried on by the sun, and the town
had two different sets of time, which
was very annoying.
Central time suited everybody
from Savannah to some hundreds of
miles west of New Orleans, where
the railroad time began to get ahead
of the sun, and worried the people
just like it will worry Florida if we
adopt eastern time.
1t is a very great convenience to
run on thine that enables man to
travel over a very large stretch of
country without resetting his watch
every time he goes two or three
hundred miles east or west.
AS for the Metropolis statement
that it is silly for Florida to have its
midday at IL o'clock, the Metropolis
has been highly instrumental in hav-
ing noon come at 1928 a. M. in its
own city, as it can find out by doing
little figuring.

MRS. STEELE

Summerfield Chronicle: Last Tues
day August 18th, 1914, the angel Of
death visited the home of G. Steele,
when the soul of Mrs. Helny Horn
strom .Stahl-Steele went before its
maker. Mrs. Steele came here few
months ago with her husband from
Illinois; Mrs. Steele was in bad
health and it was hoped that the
change of climate would benefit her.
Some days ago change for the worse
came, and on last Sunday all hope
Of recovery was abandoned. Mrs.
Steele leaves a husband and little
son to mourn her death. The SYM
pathies of the community are extend

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Government Bulletin on How to
Make Arsenical Cattle Dips for
Texas Fever Tick

Washington, Aug. 24-The U. S.
department of agriculture has just
issued a 16-page farmers bulletin
(No. 603) on methods of prepara-
tion and directions for the use of
arsenical cattle dips. These are the
dips which are effective against the
Texas fever tick.
The bulletin gives farmers and
stock raisers explicit practical direc-
tions for the making and use of boil
ed and self-boiled dips. The meas
ures prescribed for the safe handling
of these poisonous substances should
be read attentively by every farmer
who wishes to dip his own cattle.
The bulletin will be sent free to
any one who will send a postcard to
the editor and chief, division of pub
lications, U. s. department of agri-
culture.

A MODERN NECESSITY

The value of advertising is felt at
three ends-the merchant, the con-
sumner and the publisher.
Through the medium of his ad-
vertisements, the merchant ac-
quaints the consumer with the wares
he has for sale, with their values
and their attractive features, and is
himself constantly in touch with the
consumer.
The consumer reads of the goods
he wants, learns where to find them,
and saves the time of fruitless hunt
ing from place to place.
The publisher is the go-between,
the medium of communication be-
tween the buyer and seller, a sort
of public convenience. Strange as
it may seem, he, too, has his uses.
Advertising accomplishes more
good and better results for all peo-
pie than any one feature in com.
mercial life.
1t is a modern necessity, made sc
by the constantly increasing de
mands of discriminating public.

They have had the full weight of
the science of war hurled upon them
in the last week. Even If they have
surrendered, they have well paid for
themselves. The Germans are now
hammering away at Namur This
renowned city has endured many
sieges, and during the wars that
ragged almost constantly from the
days of the Normans to the fall of
of Napoleon, it was most impor-
tant strategic point, being taken
many times and beating its assailants
off many times more. Namur is a
town of about forty Thousand peo-
pie at the confluence of the Meuse
and the Samibre, about 35 miles
from Brussels. 1t is more strongly
fortified than Liege, and as French
army is backing it up it will probably
give the Germans lot of trouble.

Secretary j. ID. Rooney, of. the Ma

ing that he secure from all shippers
this seasons account sales for truck
shipped either by freight or express If
you have done any shipping this year
it is to your interest not to neglect
this and bring your account sales
to Mr.. Mayo.
The object is to produce these ac-
count sales to both the railroad and
express officials who meet in Ocala on
August 2Sth., to show them that the
railroads and express companies re-
ceive more than the farmer.
The board of trade committee is

duction in rates. Mr.. Mayo has al
ready attended number of these

right direction.

Jacksonville Metropolis: There

next year, greater than any year
since the civil war, If the European
war lasts six months. Florida is a
producing country. She has millions
of acres from which she can produce
practically anything that is produc-
ed in any other part of America. We
need the producers. We can get
them by going after them in the
right way.

RUMoRs AND REPORTS

The United Press Association,
which is a competitor of the Asso-
ciated Press, happened to great
piece of luck the other day The
United Press sent messages out at
2:29 p. M, New York time, stating
that the pope was dead. This was
four hours and twenty nine minutes
before the pontif actually died, as
he passed away at 1920 p. m. New
York time. The Sun will stick to
the Associated Press and get its
news Immediately after lit happens
instead of before and take chances
on it happening. Gainesville Sun.
The Star received a telegram
Wednesday afternoon announcing
1t is reported in London that the
pope is dead Thirty minutes later,
it received another telegram, an
nouncing that the report was de-
MED, SO it printed neither. The
Banner, which takes the Associated
Press afternoon service, did not
have any notice of the pope's death,
though it is morning paper.
Speaking of rumors, the Asso-
ciated Press sent out dispatch,
which was printed in all its papers
of Friday morning, announcing the
death of the pope's sister. This
was untrue, and it was corrected in
the papers of that afternoon.
The reason the United Press pa
pers printed the report of the pope's S
death prematurely was the same
reason the Associated Press papers
printed the report of the death OF
the pope's sister The dispatch
came in and the paper went to press
before it was corrected. 1t is very
likely the Associated Press also sent
out the premature reports of the
pope's death. This paper was made
at an hour in the afternoon when
all evening papers, except those Sc
curing protection" service, have
stopped taking dispatches. If the
Associated Press didn't send it out
it was because it didn't hear Of it in
time.
The Gainesville Sun shouldn''
Judge of press dispatches by its owr
rather limited service. If its editor
will go for a few days into the Office
of a big paper that takes full re
port, and see how often an import
ant piece of news comes in one houl
/ to be contradicted the next, he vii
be rather slow to jump on the UNITED
Press for mistakes other services arr
making.

press service from an unjustifiabl'
attack, but it hasn't any sneers TO
the others They are all handled b.

who are faithfully doing their hes
to supply the most accurate new

Antwerp, CON the wharf'') where
King Albert and his army are max
ing their final stand against foreign
invasion, is the principal port of
Belgium. Like Jacksonville, it is on
q river, number of miles from the
sea, and if the Germans succeed in
capturing both banks of the Scheldt,
they can prevent any relief by water
from the British or French. It is,
however, we'll fortified, and like
some of the neighboring cities OF
Holland, can add to the defense by
emitting the dykes and flooding the
gUnnfry. Antwerp has been an i'm
portant place in northern Europe
ever since the Normans held it in the
NINTH century It has already stood
=. number Of sieges and always made
an obstinate defense. If the Ger
mans take it, they will probably U.S.
