FEEL PROSPERITY
Judge Grubb Also Says
Country Hopes For
Mexican Peace
HAVE GREAT
FAITH IN WILSON

Followinc a two-morths' trip TO
Rio de Janerio. Brazil, Former Judge
lenatius C. Gmbb arrived home on
Sunday greatly benefited by the trip.
He has been to Brazil for the past nVe
summers. In speaking of his trip and
his observations relative TO trace re-
lations in Brazil, Judge Gruob said:
Il have been informed by leading
men there that conditions are already
improving and that business is re-
viving. and that the future outlook IS
promising especially for our Ameri-
can products.
MANY of our American commercial
men have assured me that their sales
in both Brazil and the Argentine have
of late been very encouraging, and In
some instances beyond their expecta-
tions.
eThey are now supplanting the Ger
mans since the great war began, It ap-
pears. and are rapidly learning how
to adapt themselves TO the habits and
needs Of the South American. There
is surely q growing confidence among
our Americans there that our country
has a promising future in South
America.
Judge Grubb also discussed the Mexi-
can situation from the South American
viewpoint, saying;
"Since the people down there see that
the United States is not out for con-
quest, they are heartily in sympathy
with the policy and are fostering the
hope that peace and prosperity can be
restored without conflict They are will
ing 10 lend a helping hand and assist
in whatever way possible
When asked relative to the prevailing
feeling Of the PEI le in the South
American countries regarding the Euro
pean conflict and the present crisis, be
replied that all South America is sym.
pathizing with the allies. While discuss.
Ing this q, ,iect he pointed out that
when he made his first trip 10 his "sum.
ner paradise five years ago, he coulc
zee the feeling Of distrust that the peo
pie there had toward the United States
but this year the old feeling had beer
wiped out. The people saw the war ant

tion was 10 come out with the uppel
nand IN the war, the next step would b.

rest under the protection Of tho sam,
doctrine that few years ago they fear
ed and dreaded.
Anothcr thing that has instilled faitl
in these people, he implied, is that Presi
dent Wilson accepted the representative
OF the now famous A, b, G delegation
to mediate for peace in Mexico. "Noth

spoke favorably of the commission

used as his principal argument that

DELINQUENT MOTOR
LICENSE PAYERS
TO BE PROSECUTED
TAX COLLECTOR SMITH NOT TO
ACT AS COUNTY WARRIOR"
HEREAFTER COUNTY NEEDS
THE MONEY.

County Solicitor Roy P. Hamlin
and Sheriff z, l.. Smith were at the
meeting of the board of county COM
missioners held at DeLand Monday
evening. ordered to arrest and pros
ecute all persons operating automo-
biles In volusia county who have not
paid the required license.
At the beginning of the fiscal year
the commissioners appointed license
inspectors in the larger towns and
agreed to pay such inspectors 20
per cent of licenses collected. be-
lieving that such action would mean
the collection of much money that
would otherwise escape the county
Golfers. Someone raised the objec-
ton that the payment of the
commission was illegal and the COM
missioners rescinded their action.
In the meantime there is no way for
the license inspectors to collect their
pay for the work actually done.
At the November meeting of the
board Tax Collector ID. p. Smith was
ordered to enforce the collection OF
automobile licenses. The collector
says he has been threatened with a
licking several times for stopping
cars In the road and extracting a
license tax from the owners of such
cars. He contends that he is not the
county warrior and consequently
viii not use any more force. but will
hold himself in readiness to take the
license fee when II is offered to him
The law seems to sustain the collec
tor and as a result the solicitor and
sheriff were ordered to bear down
on delinquents.

as matter of economy, believing
that the amount of revenue received
