Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, Dec. s.-Fears expressed
that Canada would seize more wheat
had o decidedly bullish effect today
on prices here. Tho market closed
strong 3D31sc TO 3ssc net higher, with
December at S1.O9a and May at
s1.12h. Notable gains, too, were made
in other staoles-corn, lie to 2Ac;
oats. i &c to 1sc, and provisions 15c
to 45c.
Corn advanced to new high prices
for the season. Favorable weather had
failed to bring about any increase in
country offerings. Receipts at primary
points were only half the amount Of
that which arrived year ago. Big
export sales helped to lift the oats
market. The total Of European pur.
shacing was said to be 100000 bush
els.
Huge decreases in the stock of meats
at western points as compared with a
month ago, were largely responsible
for the strength Of provisions. The
usual thing Is an increase during No
vember instead of a decrease.

Let s Play Craps"

And now The Punta Gorda Her
aid, always original, has a column
editorial defending craps" as an
amusement for the colored broth
er. Fact is craps" is pretty ex-
citing amusement for anybody
Tampa Tribune.
Brother Jordan of The Punta
Gorda Herald, defends the game
of craps" as an amusement for
the colored brother, which leads
us to infer that he would not be
adverse to tossing the spotted
cubes on his own hook.-Pensaco-
la News.
We believe Editor Jordan of
The Punta Gorda Herald, is right
when he says negroes working at
mills, turpentine stills, etc, should
be allowed to shoot craps or play
skin games. The negroes that
follow such work are not a part
of the citizenship of any country
and what they do have but little
more influence in a community
than the behavior of the cattle on
the range, and to fill our jails full
and burden our courts with these
hard working negroes simply be-
cause they have been caught at
petty gambling is worse than
farce. Hundreds of amusements
enjoyed by white people are deni-
ed these turpentine negroes and
they must find amusement of some
kind on rainy days and Sundays.
-Wauchula Advocate.
Now, we rise to ask Brothers
Lambright and Felkel, who are
evidently informed, to give us de-
tailed instruction for playing
Craps" for we want to know
Even if they do not believe our
honest assertion of ignorance of
the game, they should enlighten
their thousands of readers about
this "pretty exciting amusement, "
as brother Lambright designates
it.
We once asked Dan Henderson,
colored barber of Leesburg, to
explain and exemplify the game,
and when he started to do so he
saw the sheriff coming and he pre-
cipitately absented himself. Since
then, we have witnessed the play
ing of several games, but never
could "catch on. "
Some expert, some time ago, de-
clared through the press that
"craps" is a better game than
draw poker and would soon take
its place with the sporting world.

The editor of the Estero Ameri-
can Eagle has made valuable dis
covery to the effect that the soft
fiber or rag" that is found at the
base of the leaf-stems of the saw
palmetto, is an effective agent for
staunching the flow Of blood from
wounds. The fiber is applied
like lint dressing. Brother An
draws attributes its efficacy to
the tannin contained in the fiber
Add this to the fact that the ashes
from the burned roots of saw pal
metto contain 20 per cent. of pot
ash, and we shall find that this
hitherto despised plant is valu-
able indeed.

Down With Them

There are few people in Flori-
da (thank Heaven ! there are only a
few who are both fools and liars.
They are those who seek to divert
strangers visiting the state from
going to the places to which they
are ticketed or to which they
announce their intention of 60
ing. In past years, Punta Cor
da has suffered considerably from
the lying tongues of these fools
and now the press complains that
Fort Myers is being made the vic
tim of these liars.
The folly of this contemplate
practice will appear from the
statement of a hypothetical case !:
Mr.. Jones and family start from
Nebraska to visit Florida with
view to settling in this state. On
reaching Jacksonville and letting
it be known that they are on their
way to Sanford, some fool tells
them that Sanford is no place for
them and that they had better go
to Miami. Accordingly, they de-
eide to go to Miami and pretty
soon another idiot tells them that
no honest man would think of liv-
ing in Miami, that the place for
them is Arcadia. On making
further inquiry about Arcadia, a
third fool informs Mr.. Jones that
it is infested by snakes and mos
quitoes, which make life a burden,
but that the best place in the state
is st. Petersburg.
And so it goes, from one liar and
a dozen lies to others, until Mr..
Jones concludes that there is no
place in Florida that is fit for any
man to live in; and, after looking
around a while and enjoying the
climate, he takes his family back
home and tells all his neighbors
to keep out of Florida, that no
man can make a living here and
that the state is over-run with real
estate agents who are the most
monumental liars on earth, who
will tell a man any sort of a lie to
induce him to buy a worthless
piece of land on which nothing
but malaria can or does flourish.
The Press concludes its criticism
of the reprehensible methods a
bove denounced with these very
truthful remarks:
"The point is that there is room
enough for all. All Florida is
good, and all good people will
work for the common good Of all.
We, like those of other towns,
think we have the best owing to
our peculiar and favorable loca-
ton, but we do not find it neces-
sary to try building up our own
town through the process of tear
ing down some other"

Give the President the Power

This paper commends the sug-
gestion of Mrs. Julian Heath,
President of the National House
wives League, that President Will
son prohibit the expectation of
wheat and flour from the United
States. Congress should immedi-
'ately give him the power to do
this.
Every one of the warning coun-
tries of Europe has laid an embar-
go on the expectation of food
stuffs, and it is but right, in view
of all the circumstances, that the
United States should follow their
example.
The prohibition would tend to
end the war in Europe and would
also have the desired effect of
keeping within reasonable limits
the food prices in this country.
AS a result of the wholesale expor-
tation of wheat and -four from the
United States, our people are al
ready having to pay for these
products the highest prices known
for thirty years past, and these
high prices are inficting great
suffering upon thousands of peo-
pie in various parts of the coun-
try.
If the President were given the
power and should exercise it to
lay the proposed embargo on the
expectation of wheat and -four,
we are sure it would meet with the
cordial approval of at least ninety
per cent of the people.

Drane for Congressman

In the Lakeland Telegram of
last Saturday, Hon. Herbert j.
Drane announces that he will be a
aandiGaoe in next years primaries
Cor Congressman from this dis
trict. He is a man of ability and
high character; has rendered dis
tinguished services in the legisla-
ture, in which body he has been
president of the senate for several
terms; is fairly well known
throughout the district and has
the respect and confidence of ev-
cry one who knows him. He will
prove very formidable opponent
to Congressman Sparkman, if the
latter again becomes a candidate.
Mr.. Drane will have the cordial
support of that very influential
paper, the Lakeland Telegram, as
well as doubtless of the rest of the
papers of Polk county, and we are
quite confident that the Tampa
Tribune will support him. 1t is
likely also that more than half
of the papers of this district will
favor his candidacy
Provided that Governor Tram
nell does not run for the same po-
Sition. For, it has been suggested
in several parts of the district that
the governor will enter the race
for congressman next year. But
Mr.. Drane's announcement is very
likely to cause the governor to de-
eide to become a candidate for
the United States Senate, which
a large majority of his friends
and many others fully expect him
to do. The governor appears to
be the most popular man in the
state, and he will make a good
race for any position to which he
may aspire. But, during the
past forty years, only one govern
or of this state has ever won a race
for the United States senate, and
at least four of them have tried it.
The one who did win had to make
two successive trials.
AS to the congressional race,
Hon. A. j. Angle of Tampa, who
ran against Mr.. Sparkman last
year, has declared that he will
run again, but, with Mr.. Drane in
the race, Mr.. Angle will have no
chance.
We predict that Mr.. Sparkman
will not again be candidate how
ever, our political prophecies have
often resulted in non-fulfillment.

Arcadia Enterprise One man
can plant and cultivate forty acres
of sweet potatoes on average De-
Soto county land and gather
thereform from 100 to 200 bushels,
according to the fertilization. He
can sell his crop for 75c to $100
per bushel on the local markets.
He can do all of this and not get
behind with his fishing or hunting.
And what is more, he can produce
nearly everything he needs for
home consumption while his TIA
ters are growing. Yet, we hear
some talk of hard times in this
country. Hard time in DeSoto
county? Well, what do you know
about that? Had times will come to
any man in any country who re-
fuses to buckle down to real work
when necessity demands it.

1.-TWO Good
BALL GAMES
YESTERDAY

Two interesting games of baseball
were pulled off at the local damon
yesterday afternoon by the different
clubs. The first contest between tn,
Moose Club and Company = proved
to be only fair exhibition of base
ball, Tilton, pitcher for Company !!
being knocked ont of the box in tn,
first inning. Turner was then put
in. and the rest of the game indicat-
ed that the two mines were pretty
evenly matched. An exciting fea-
ture of the game otherwise anything
but spectacular occurred when Scott
Winn collided with Turner, the force
OF the collision breaking the form
er's nose. The final score stood s to
. In favor of the Moose.
The Elks and Holm gsworth clubs
put up a good game Immediately fol-
lowing the conclusion of the one be-
tween the Moose and Company d and
furnished some real thrills for the
rooters when Hollingsworth with
three men on bases failed to score in
the first inning. Goss. pitcher for
the Elks, twirled the horsehair in
such a dextrous manner that Hol-
lingsworth had considerable difficult
ty in mailing his handouts. and onl =
succeeded in getting one run to the
Elks' five
