NATIVE HAY BEST
FOR HOME STOCK
AGRICULTURAL EXPERT MAKES
DISCOVERY AND ANNOUNCES
FACTS OF HIS FINDINGS

Feeders of the South spend millions
of dollars annually for northern hay.
The Extension division of the Uni
versity of Florida has been urging
farmers of the state to grow more hay
to supply local and southern markets.
The custom of buying foreign hay is
merely habit formed when native
hays were not available
A recent feeding experiment at the
Mississippi Station showed that ma
tive hay produced better and cheaper
gains than timothy. Twenty-one
mules were used in the test. Each
lot was given a balanced ration con-
sisting of the same feed except for
the hay. Alfalfa stood first in feed
ing value and cheap gains; lespedeza
was close second; johnson grass
was third; timothy fourth; and Ber-
muda fifth.
The cost of pound of gain with
each hay plus the additional feed
which was the same in each case, was,
alfalfa 81 cents, lespedeza 81, John
son grass Sc, Bermuda 81, and tins
othy AZ. The mules fed Johnson
grass made slightly greater gains
than those fed Timothy
These figures should convey a great
deal of meaning to feeders who have
been using imported timothy There
are many hays which can be produced
in the state that are just as good or
better than timothy. The experiment
also shows the value of alfalfa Of
course this crop has not been Sue
cessful here but COW peas grow well.

FORMER MAYOR
AND BANKER IS
BACK IN CITY

R. I'll. Samons, ex.mayor, founder
of the Greek-American bank, and 9th
erwise once former citizen of Tarpon
Springs, has returned to the city after
having been out4of it for several years
past. Upon walking up the street of
his old home city, Mr.. Samons ex-
claimed, Certainly this is not the
Tarpon Springs in which l once had
my home" He expresses amazement
and establishment on every hand at
the marvellous Improvement he sees
in the city.
Since leaving Tarpon Springs, Mr..
Samons has been engaged in business
in various parts of the United States.
After several years absence from Tar
pom Springs, however, Mr.. Samons de-
cided that he wanted to see his old
home town again, and made this trip.
Just what are the plans of Mr.. Sam
ons are not known and he refuses to
divulge them for the present. His
more intimate friends express the be-
lief that Mr.. Samons is looking over
his old home town for business ven
ture, however. He has large circle
of old friends who are glad to see him
back in the city again.

SITUATION Of ALLIES CRITICAL
IN BOTH SERBIA AND GALL|POl|

the presence of large Russian forces
close to the frontier and the now rap
idly developing Russian preparations,
with Odessa as a base, from which
no inference is possible than her inn
mediate entrance into the Balkan con-
fiict.
Russians Threaten BulaaFlz
Emperor Nicholas is said to have
promised the appearance of Russian
troops in Bulgaria within a week.
There are increasing indications that
this campaign will be launched by way
of Roumania, and it is reported that
conferences are being held between
representatives of Russia and Rou-
mania to obtain the latter's consent
to this move. This consent, as intimat-
ed clearly by Roumanian statesmen,
has depended on whether the Allies
gain preponderance of forces in the
Balkans. Roumania gives evidence of
being impressed strongly by the con-
centration of 100000 Russian troops
at Isllail, and REM, near her border.
Serbia Fights Gamely
No important achievement has been
recorded on either side since the Ger
man announcement of the fall of Pris-
tina and Mitrovitsa. With only a small
strip of territory left to defend, Ser
bias leaders declare she is unbeaten
and can still harass the invaders. Gen
eral 8oyadiieff, the Bulgarian com
mander, says, on the other hand, that
nIng Peter ; troops will be put out Of
action in few days.
The official report has reached Lon
don at noon today of the capture of
Gorilla by the Italians, although the
fall of the city was regarded as immi-
nent. This important system of fortif-
cations commanding the railway lines
connecting the upper and lower Isonzo
and called the key to the Austrian de
fenses to the north, has been the OBJ
jective for which the Italian army has
been struggling for several months.

in the pounltry business in England
has been paralyzed by the great war.
Ordinarily the birds probably would
have cost considerably more.
Transit was surprisingly rapid con-

have birds of the finest strain to be

Evincing the enterprise and pro-
gressiveness of poultrymen of Tarpon
Springs, five pedigreed male White
Leghofns arrived in the city this
morning from one of the most fam

are of direct line with international
prize winning birds from the Tom
Barron Yards, at Catforth, England,

LABOR CONVENTION

CHINERY SYSTEM

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. 27.-The
proposal to eliminate several trades
from the building trades department
of the American Federation of Labor,
is one of the principal matters be-
fore the ninth annual session of the
department today. 1t came up in the
form of a resolution proposed at an
earlier session, directed at the Inter
national Association of Machinists,
and the boilers, shipbuilders and help
ers. The resolution declared that
these are not building trades and con-
sequently not eligible to membership
in the department.
The delegates also have before
them for discussion a resolution pro-
viding for an investigation to deter
mine when a six-hour day can be es-
Established in place of an eight-hour
day law. Advocates of the resolution
contend that shortened hours of labor
offer the only remedy for conditions
caused by the invention and perfec-
ton of machinery making it increas-
ingly harder for working people to
continue in steady employment as
shown by the large number of unem-
ployed at ali times of the year"

NEGRO THIEF
IS HELD OVER
TO THE STATE

Under charge of grand larceny, Lee
roy Williams, negro, was bound over
to the state from the magistrate
court yesterday afternoon for the rob-
berry of the Haliczer Jewelry shop re-
Gently one Sunday afternoon. Henry
Gresham, whom Williams claimed was
with him, proved an alibi and was dis
charged. Williams pleaded guilty to
the charges.
The robbery occurred in daylight,
and for the time aroused considerable
alarm because of the holiness of the
thieves. Arrests in the case came
about through Mr.. Haliczer recogniz-
ing some of his jewelry on the person
of Williams, who then implicated
Gresham. Nearly all of the stolen
goods was recovered at the home of
Williams.

MONKEYS TEAR UP HOME

When Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Foley re-
turned to their home about supper
time last night they found the resi-
dence looking like cyclone had
blown through the rooms and as much
damage was done as would have re-
suited from a fire. The cause was
easily determined. Two pet monkeys
belonging to Mr.. Foley had escaped
from their cage and while the mem
bers of the household were away, the
monkeys got into the house and for
several hours were uninterrupted IN
their work of destruction.

HINT TO SWIMMERS

A swimmer who loses his strength
far from shore, or is seized with
cramp, runs small danger, provided
he remains cool and keeps his wits
about him. He should turn on his
back and rest, awaiting assistance or
recovery, instead of making a mad
dash for the beach, or for support. 1t
is quite possible, in floating position,
to hold out indefinitely, and even to
work out cramp.-Outing.

London, !. Nov. 27.-The Serbian

troops. In the important military de-
veIopments which may be looked for
in the valley Of the Vardar river is
the maneuvers of this army against
that of the allies.
While the results of these move
ments are being watched with some
anxiety, better news from the allies
point of view comes from the north
where a big Russian army is mass
ing. 1t is reported that General Alexei
Kuropatkin is to command this Rus
sian army of invasion, which win
either be sent up the Danube or allow
ed passage from Roumania to attack
Varna on the land side. The other
Russian forces are being organized at
Odessa and Sebastopol and doubtless
will be sent to either the Bulgarian
OR Turkish coast.
Send ReinfOrcements
It is reported from Switzerland that
the Austro-Germans are sending re-
Inducements into the Balkans to meet
this force, but other advices state that
these reinforcements are being sent to
the eastern line because the Balkan
campaign is having a direct effect on
all other lines.
In Galician territory the Austrians
are attacking in the hopes of forcing
the Russians to divert a part of their
Bessarabian army thence.
The Austrians holding the Italian
offensive on the Isonzo front being I'M
able to get reinforcements, are counter
attacking with awful fury and thus
far have prevented the Italians from
entering Gorilla which has been hard
pressed for week.
British Hold MessOpOtia
Reports from Messopotia show that
the British hold the city of Ctesiphon
and that the Turks are retiring to
Dialah, within ten miles of Bagdad.
Prisoners taken by the British have
been increased to 1900 while the Brit
ish wounded alone number $500.
Troops engaged in this region are un-
dergoing hardships unknown in other
campaigns, there being a shortage of
both food and water.
The Turks are showing more activ-
ity in the Gallipoli peninsula where,
with new ammunition SUPPLIES, they |
attacked the allies position without, !
however, making any gains.

A Courageous Governor.

Few governors have rendered a pub
lie service more bravely than Govern
or Slaton Of Georgia.
There is in every community an ele-
ment that may be formed into mob.
1t Is this element that is sometimes
called the rabble. In most American
communities 1t is very small ele-
ment indeed. A rabble or a mob is
always cowardly. 1t never attacks a
body Of equal size or power 1t usu-
ally is directed against single in
dividual. 1t is easily dispersed by
an organized force. 1t is thought
less as we'll as cowardly. BY mere
numbers 1t may at times seem dan
gerous to the community, and it is
always dangerous to individuals.
There are two ways Of dealing with
the mob. One is to accept 1t at its
own valuation, to yield to 1t, parley
with it, and submit to Its dictation.
There is only one other way, and that
Is to defy it and suppress it. During
the trial of Leo M. Frank there was
abundant evidence to show that the
mob was largely In control The very
fact that the court was not willing
TO have the prisoner face his accusers
when he was sentenced, as is the pris
oner's right, for. fear of mob violence
shows that at the crucial moment the
mob was uppermost.
Governor Slaton defied the mob
and won victory for the state OF
Georgia and for American civilization.
