United States Will Boss Europe

The former minister of finance
of Italy has it pretty well figured
out. He has issued warning to
the entente powers that unless
they begin to prepare a combined
monetary defense Immediately
and the war continues any great
length of time, say, perhaps, a
year or more, the United States
will absorb complete financial con-
troll of Europe, and then the en-
tire continent, no matter who wins
the war, will be under the finan-
cial thumb of Uncle Sam. The
Italian has figured it out about
right. 1t will be a victory much
greater than the United States
could win should it declare war

the field which cannot be dupli-
Gated in the laboratory that an a.
nalysis is usually waste of time
and money. The information which
Iic gives certainly is not worth the
cost and trouble it requires in
most cases.
| The best method of determining
the amount and kind of fertilizer
to use is given in the following
statement Of the University Of
Florida Experiment Station: "We
frequently receive samples of soil
for analysis and a request to ad-
wise the best method of fertilizing.
Except in extreme cases, such as
heavy clays, pure sand, and muck
lands, there is but little informa-
tion derived from soil analysis
that benefits farmers. SO much
depends ON tilth, drainage, culture
and other physical conditions that
an analysis made under laboratory
conditions is of little value.
The method recommended by
the Indiana Station is the field
fertilizer test or plot system, in
which long narrow strips of the
field are measured off side by side.
The crop is planted uniformly ov-
er each. Different fertilizers are
applied to the different plots, ev-
cry third of fourth one being left
unfertilized.> The produce from
these plots is harvested and
weighed. In this manner the
farmer can tell what fertilizer is
best suited to his needs. AS eli
matte conditions may influence the
yield with different fertilizers, it
is best to carry ON such tests for
more than one year before draw
ing definite conclusions. There is
no easier or shorter
method of testing the soil that we
feel safe in recommending" This
method will also tell whether a
complete or an incomplete fertili-
ger is needed.

The South InUef1fed
the First Submarine

Imagine a cigar thirty feet long
and six feet thick and you have a
fair photograph of a Confederate
submarine that sank a big Union
Iwarship in Charleston harbor,
This curious craft was built in. Mo-
bile and Capt. Hundley, who help
ed construct her, perished while
making an experimental trip.
The submarine was propelled by
eight oarsmen, and it carried only
one torpedo, which it towed
through the water and placed be-
meath its intended victim. Three
different crews were drowned be-
fore Lieut.. Dixon, of Alabama,
|piloted in 1864 the queer little
submarine. out to where lay the
huge Housatonic of the Union
feet.
The torpedo was exploded a
gainst the hull of the unsuspecting
Federal warship, which sank in a
few minutes. The Confederates
also went to the bottom.
To get that submarine beneath
the surface it was necessary to fill
compartments with water, but

county last week comforting with
the DeSoto County agent, Miss
Allie Stribling, in regard to the

free to the club members by the
Domestic Science Department of
the DeSoto County High School.
Just now the wide-awake men,

Soil Analysis of Little
Real Practical Value

! There is a widespread opinion
among farmers that chemical a.
|nalysis of their soil would enable
them to use fertilizers more intel
Iligently. There is very little prac-
Itical value in such analyses. This
opinion has been expressed by
practically every experiment sta
ltion in the country, and the United
States Department of Agriculture
has ruled that the stations shall
not analyze soils except in connec-
ton with experiments.
A chemical analysis will give
the chemical composition of the
soil and that is all. There is no
means of determining theavailibil-
|ity of the substances to the plant.
There are so many conditions in

cense to fish, this is why Mr.. Hod
ges is so anxious for you to pay
this license, because by doing Sc
you virtually agree to transfer
your right to all fish to the state.
You had better protest in thunder
tones while protests will prevail,
and by thus doing show to the
Governor and the Legislature Of
the state Of Florida, that you have
mot been represented in the mat
ter and that you refuse to give up
your right and title to the fish, or
the very first thing you know af-
ter paying your license to fish you
will have no place to fish, since all
the best bottoms and natural fish
ing ground will be leased to pri-
vate parties, as the oysters are to-
day. And you will be met with
certain signs and posters. "No
Fishing Allowed" on these prem
ises, etc, etc, similar to what the
oyster men are meeting today
And you will find when too late,
your license tax is simply to
furnish "police patrol" and
gunner to keep you from taking
the things which God has given
you, but which you have allowed
to be taken from you and you are
paying the bills to protect the pro-
perty of private parties, then you
will be the Estate" and in your
proper sphere, paying gun men to
prevent you taking what is right

ton is compulsory in the army
and navy. Military authority en-.
forces it. But under our boasted
constitutionally guaranteed sys.
tenn of liberty to each individual,
every man may legally do or re-
fuse to do anything that pleases
him up to the point of directly and
Intentionally injuring his neigh
Dor, and such a rule cannot be ap-
piled in civil life.
Therefore and consequently, if
you do not choose to accept this
Insurance against disease--a gift
of science to mankind that ranks
with smallpox vaccination-no
one can compel you to accept. For
decades there was a prejudice a.
gainst smallpox vaccination, and
even in these days an appreciable
percentage of the population, 9th
erwise seemingly sane, prefers to
risk the loathsome disease rather
than accept immunity, even if it
doesn't cost a cent.
Florida State Board of Health
urges the employment of preven-
tive measures against all diseases.
More than this, it provides at cost
known antitoxins to citizens of the
state, and where the individual is
financially unable to meet this
small cost, the Board furnishes the
serums free as air, for the taking.
None is so poor in Florida that he
may not have full benefit Of the
latest developments of medical
science.
From the viewpoint Of the indi-
vidual it becomes a question whe-
ther he will accept this form Of in
surance against disease, be it
smallpox, typhoid, diphtheria or
other Affections, or whether he
chooses to "carry his own insur-
ance" and take the chances that
the luck that has kept him i'm
mune so far will stand by him in
definitely. There is no insurance
against death, ultimate and final,
but there is protection against

syndicates, who never till foot
of this land, while hundreds Of
thousands of Florida S citizens are
without land and could and would
lprovide a comfortable living for
his family if he could get posses
sion of this land. Can he get it ?
Not a foot and yet it was the
states land.
Yes, you say, but the state can
not sell the water and the fish,
that is impossible, besides uncon-
stitutional Lets see. Less than
ten years ago / had the same argu-
lment concerning the oysters, but
today what do we find ? Literally
hundreds of natural oyster bars
leased to private parties and peo-
Iple even getting killed over it and
good, honest, law abiding citizens
languishing in Jail. Not much
state are they? Well that is what
state ownership amounts to.
Read Section One again now
and see if the state, which plainly
is not you, owns the fish of other
property she has a right to do as
she pleases with it, and to control
it in any way she sees fit.
Now here is help and the only
way out.
Article 4, Section 3, of the con-
stitution of the United States, pro-
vides, that the citizens of each
state shall be entitled to all pri-
vileges and immunities of citizens
in the several states.
Article IA, Section l, in the a.
mendments to the constitution
provides that "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the state wherein
they reside. No state shall make
or enforce any law which shall a.
bridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United
States. Nor shall any state de-
prive any persos Of life, liberty or
property, without due process of
law, nor deny to any person the
equal protection Of the laws.
Now Mr.. Hodges advises you
not to go to law but to pay your
license tax, and claims that if you
do go to law you will lose, be-
cause the fish law is thoroughly |
constitutional. W
/ claim that the law in question |
is violation of our constitutional
rights, because we have not been
deprived of our property the fish
that God gave us, (see Gen. /, 26-

that the people of the state of |
Florida was not represented in the

There is no reason why ty-
phoid fever should not be a rare
disease by 1890"
The statement is credited to the
Public Health Service in a recent
4, news dispatch from Washington,
and it is supplemented by the esti-
mate that not less than 100000
person in the United States will be
immunized in 1915.
Attention has been called re-
peatedly by the press within the
last two years, to the results gain
ed by incubation with antity-
phoid serum. So thoroughly has
it been tested that the treatment
has passed entirely beyond the ex-
pertinent stage and it is classed
with vaccination against small
pox among the "sure things" of
medical science.
During the six months mobili-
cation Of United States troops in
camps in 1898, the year of our
troubles with Spain. War Depart
ment doctors were called upon to
fight 10000 cases of typhoid.
There was but one case of the dis
ease in the entire army of 10000
inoculatcd men in 1913, and this
record stood against an average
death rate from the disease of
16.5 per 100000 of the civilian
population of the country.
Every enlisted man in the Unit
ed States Army and Navy is re-
quired to take the antityphoid
vaccination. 1t is compulsory in
the French army, but it is still op-
tional in the British army. Ty-
phoid has been, until the present
decade, the apparently unavoid-
able scourge of war, as also in
civil life. Now the discovery that
the dead bacillus in sterilized sol
ution injected into the human
blood is a preventive of the dis
case, has changed it all. just
why the dead bacillus, literally
billions of him, in a mans circu-
latory system should nullify the
live germ, is probably beyond the
understanding of the average lay
man, and it really is unimportant
that he should know the why, if
he avails himself of the fact.
If typhoid has liking for one
season of the Florida year over
another, it is the late summer and
fall months, and it is at this time
that more than ordinary precau-
tion should be taken to ward it off.

WHAT OWNERSHIP BY STATE MEANS

CIV. j. Walker in st. Andrews
Bay News-Re-printed by re.
quest.)
Section one of the new fish law
Act of 1915, provides as follows;
That all fish in the rivers, ,bayous
lagoons, lakes, bays, sounds and
inlets, bordering on, or connected
with the Gulf of Mexico or Allan.
tic Ocean within the jurisdiction
of the State of Florida, are hereby
declared and shall continue and
remain the property of the State
of Florida, and may be taken and
used by citizens of this state and
persons not citizens of this state,
subject to the restrictions and
and reservations hereafter impos-
ed by this act. Now there you are,
read it over twice more. Study
every word, it is law, read it care
fully, what does it say? Does it
say that the citizens of the state
are the state? As you would pro-
baby say, if asked what consti-
tuted the State of Florida, no it
says nothing of the kind, and it
means nothing of the kind. But
clearly points out that citizens Of
the state may take and use the
fish subject to certain "restric-
tions and reservations hereafter
imposed by this act, Imposed,
yes certainly. Well lets just con-
slider one or two of these imposi-
tions.
In Section 8 we find that after
certain time of year, that it will
be considered a violation of law
for you to have a mullet fish in
your possession, and to have such
fish in your possession will subject
you to a fine of 5000 or one year
in Jail, or both, and further, if you
happen to be fisherman your net
will be taken and burned, and if
you own a boat your boat will be
and sold, regardless of
value. And further, you are de-
lied access to your county or city
courts. The case can only be tried
n a state court, where you proba-
ply will not have a friend or know
and there is no help for
you until you can prove this law
unconstitutional, which cannot be
lone according to Mr.. Hodges,
,ur shell fish commissioner.
Why can it not be doneY Be-
,ause you have given up your
light to the state through your
representative. So you see now
you are not much state, are youY
And further, if the state owns the
ish what is to prevent the state
rom selling the fish to private
parties? Nothing. Absolutely |
But you say this is i'm
possible. 1t is ridiculous, yes GER
ainly, but is it any more impossi- |
lie or ridiculous than that the
tate has sold million Of acres of |
-aluable land to private parties,
nd that large tracts of Florida s
and, containing millions of acres
re owned by foreigners, even
