WEATHER REPORTS
Why Telegraphic Reports From
Punta Gorda are Not Pub
lished

The following communication
from A. j. Mitchell of the Wealth
err Bureau, stationed at Jackson
vile, speaks for itself. The COM
munication bears date of Febru-
airy goth and addressed to the OBJ
server of Tampa. Gen. Gilchrist
says that he took up the matter at
the suggestion of Mr.. c. M. Car
rier:
In connection with the request
of Ex-Governor Gilchrist that you
publish the daily report from Pun
ia Gorda, and your suggestion to
Mr.. w. j. Bennett, the Official in
Charge, Local Office, Weather
Bureau, in that city, that he Sc
cure the report by wire, as is
now done in the case of Fort My
ers, Barlow, and other stations,
please note that daily Geographic
reports are not received from
Punta Gorda, as is the case with
the other stations to which you
refer. The establishment of these
special stations was done with the
view of serving the general in
terest. For instance, Fort Ny
ers being to the south of Punta
Gorda reflects conditions over
the southern section, and as we
have Tampa to the north of Pun
ia Gorda and several stations in
the interior, reports were not
deemed necessary form Punta
Gorda. You appreciate fully no
doubt, that limited funds make
it possible to receive Biographical
reports daily from only limited
number of stations, hence, the
Chief Of the Weather Bureau has
not been able to comply favorably

Clean Up Campaign

Mayor Stone is bending his en-
orgies to carry out plans for max
ing Punta Gorda the cleanest
town in the country. He has cir
culated notices that the ordinan-
ces applying will be strictly en-
forced, and he has been giving
personal attention to the work
that is being done at city ex-
pense. Already great improve
ment is noted, as in the case of
some few spots in the town that
had become very unsightly. The
drainage of the town is also be-
ing improved, cutters opened and
bitches worked over, and alto
gether the sanitary conditions of
the city and vicinity are being
made first-class. The mayor de-
sires the cooperation of all citi-
zens that the desired ends may
be accomplished.

Presbyterian Missionary Society

The ladies of the Missionary So
ciety of the Presbyterian church
meet now every two weeks, one
meeting sewing and the next de-
voting the time to business. Fri
day, a week ago, the ladies of Ac-
line were invited in for the day
and a picnic dinner was served.
The day was a very enjoyable
one.
The society is now studying
the social aspects of foreign mis-
sions with Miss Mary Phinney as
teacher. Miss Phinney has been
under the best Of training in
these studies and therefore is
thoroughly qualified to teach.
The following ladies were elect
ed as officers of the society at a
recent meeting: Mrs. Jno. M.
Weeks, president; Mrs. G. G. Da-
Wis, secretary and treasurer.

The Library Gives Thanks

Last week Mrs. Chas. Dean of
Boston, presented the library
with fourteen volumes, most of
them classics of the 18th century.
Several years ago Mrs. Dean
gave us a full set Of Thackery,
which has given pleasure to many.
Mrs. Meadow gave us, lately,
thirty volumes of modern fiction,
which were needed and are highly
appreciated.
Mrs. Grove and others have Civ
en- makazines.
We thank them all heartily.
The library has been quite a
social center this winter.-STEL-

SAND-OIL ROAD
At Sebring Attracting Attention
-Punta Gordans See It

Senator f. M. Cooper, Commits
sioner VIM. M. Written and
Bond Trustee A. B. Tucker of this
city, with Commissioner Jno. Ha-
gan of Charlotte Harbor and
other members of the county
board with leading citizens ofAr-
cadia, Wauchula and Zolfo visit
ed Scoring on Friday and made
dn inspection of the sand-Oil road
that is being constructed there.
Those of the party from here
Charlotte Harbor and Arcadia
went as guests of Commissioner
d. L. Skipper, going via automo-
bile from Zolfo.
A pretty thorough investiga-
ton of the materials, plans of
construction, probable cost, etc.
was made, and the gentlemen who
composed the party were favor
ably impressed, for the most part
as to roads of this construction
proving durable and economical.
So far as could be ascertained
it appears that the roads can be
built at a cost not to exceed
$1,000 per mile, and it is the opin--
ion of some who were among the
investigators that it is such a
road as is well adapted to the re-
quirements of this part Of Flori-
da.
Thus it seems that road matters
are receiving more attention with
it in prospect that the best sys-
TENS of construction and the best
materials, subscribing Doth econ
omy and usefulness, will enter in
to the building of improved high
ways in Southern Florida, which
in a few years will be well pro-
vided for in this particular.

Mizell John Bear Field

There are three paintings of the
famous John Bear seed in which
the regular Livingstone Globe
growers are much interested.
While this is hardly a season to
consider it the best sort of test
the crop from these fields will be
watched closely. j. Mizell is al
so sticking right to the crop.
Many of these plants have been
pulled through the rains in seed
beds. Others were set out when
small and those which were so
treated show better than those
left longer in the beds before be-
ing transplanted. On plants set
out fourteen days ago roots reach
out six and seven inches already
and the plants look as if they
were ready for business. Much
of these three acres was solid Ber-
muda and Mr.. Mizell says he will
keep it out of his plant rows east
ly by the method he used and will
follow until they are laid by.
There is a Globe planting sepa-
rated by one field from the John
Bears. These have weathered
some rain and Mr.. Mizell is not so
sure as to the results from them.
Some people, however, would
think they were rather nice look
ing.

Laws Governing Subscriptions

Most readers of newspapers and
mnay publishers are not familiar with
the laws governing subscriptions.
Here are the decisions of the United
States Court on the subject. They will
be interesting to publishers and many
will undoubtedly be glad OF the OPP
portunity to print them for the benefit
of delinquent subscribers.
Subscribers who do rot give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.

may continue to send them until all
dues are paid.

which they are directed, he is respon-
sible until he has settled his bill and
ordered the paper discontinued.
"If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former adj
dress, the subscriber is held respon-
sible.
"The courts have held that refusing
to take periodicals from the postoffice
or removing and leaving them uncal.ed
for is prima facie evidence of inten-
tor to defraud.
IF subscribers pay in advance thew
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it, otherwise the sub
scriber is responsible until express
notice with payment of all arrearage
is sent to the publisher.

Burden On Motorists

plain as to leave no room for doubt as
to the meaning of the Legislature in
enacting it, He further says in his
opinion, the reference in the act to
the speeds of II, Is and % miles an
hour, in certain places, Is not for the
purpose of establishing those rates of
speed as lawful rates to be maintained
by operators of motor vehicles in
those places. The act simply pro-
vides that if those rates of speed are
exceeded, that fact alone is in itself
prima facie evidence. that the opera
tor was driving at a rate greater than
what was reasonable and proper and
in violation of the law, and it throws
the burden of proof on the operator to
show the contrary
'Now what is reasonable and prop
er speed is under the facts of each
particular case the underlying test,
for it is within common knowledge
that slower rates of speed than II, Is
and % miles an hour in the districts
specified can be, and often are, un-
reasonable and not proper under GER
tain conditions of traffic and upon
narrow highways.
Squarely Up To Motorist.
"The Judge says, in short, the law
puts it squarely up to the motorist to
exercise due care at all times. He has
no exclusive or greater rights on the
highways than other travellers. On
the contrary, owing to the nature,
character and ready control of the We
hicle which he operates the necessity
for greater care of and respect for
the rights of others using the high
way is cast upon him than upon the
pedestrian, horseman or horse drawn
vehicle and the Judge closes by say
ing that IN fact. all the provisions Of
the State law governing the motor
vehicle traffic are so clear and minute
that aside from the element of human
carelessness it should be impossible
for any operator Of a motor vehicle
who has read it to 60 wrong, except
by his own willful act"

He walked thoughtfully homeward.
The wide street was almost empty,
only a few storekeepers sat under
their awnings, gasping in the heat.
Here and there was a knot of white
crepe upon the handle of door.
Vane fancied that the eyes of the
townspeople followed him little ma
liciously.
He was within block of his house
when a woman rushed out at him
from an open door on whose handle
the familiar knot of crepe hung.

THE CLAIM OF LIFE
BY H. M. Egbet

BY H. M. Egbert
Copyright by w. G. Chapman,)
Cyrus Vane stoodin the laboratory
of the hospital, watching his test
tubes. The little colonies that were
spreading upon the gelatine meant
that the new bacillus could be devel-
oped in an ordinary medium. With
this he planned to do what science
had hitherto failed in doing. He hoped
to cure infantile paralysis and con-
vert what was a scourge into mild
illness merely.
For six weeks he had devoted his
time to this alone. Meanwhile the
scourge had fastened itself upon the
town. Children were dying. 1t had
never been checked What a boon
the new antitoxin, prepared from the
bacillus, would be!
Vane was sure of it. He had in
recover from artifcially induced pes
thence. He had tested the serum in
every possible way. Why, then, could
he not give it to the world?
That question is often asked by
those who are impatient for new rem
edies. The answer is that, before the
conservative physician will make pub
lie his achievements it is necessary
for the proof to have been piled up
in at least a thousand experimental
cases.
In short, all over the country ply
sicians were trying out Vane's discov-
cry, on monkeys, on apes, and per-
haps here and there on children who
we're in the grip of the disease and
could not have been harmed by the
serum, even if it failed to benefit
them.
But until the results of the thou
sand cases were known the serum
could not be made public property.
Vane had said as much to the
wFetched women, who, having heard
rumors of his discovery, groveled be-
