FLORIDA CATTLE ARE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND

Another eighteen hundred head
of Florida cattle have just been
shipped from Arcadia-this time
headed for Texas. In time these
will be sold to the combination
packers-and then will this state
receive its quota OF western
beef" which is so much better
than anything that can be grown
here" While it is true that
there are produced here an insult
ficient quantity of cattle to sup
port a packing-house in this
state, yet how much better
would it be il the cattle produc-
ed here were brought to a point
in this state where they were fit
70 rthe block-instead of having
to pay, when the meat is con-
.Sumed, the several freights which
must, perforce, be added to the
cost OF production. Florida will
find that many years must elapse
before the state will be able to
fill her own needs so far as beef
is concerned-but it is fact that
a percent of her present needs
might even now be supplied by
careful management. Palm

CLEMENCY TEMPERED
WITH JUSTICE

-Four years ago the chief of po-
lice of Danville. Va, was arrest
ed as prisoner who had escap-
ed from Georgia after he had
been convicted of murder. After
escaping the man had evaded
capture for fourteen years; had
married under another name; had
made a good record for himself
and was deemed the best CHIEF
of police ever in Danville. Final
ly he was recognized by for
mer acquaintance who promptly
gave away the secret; he was re-
arrested, admitted that he was
the same man who escaped four
teen years before, and was com
mitted to serve his life-term. Be
cause of the pleadings of his
daughter, Governor Harris has
pardoned the mainland he has
now returned to Danvile where
the people will select him for the
new chief of police. The entire
story reads like tale of fiction
and shows that in every man
there is a streak of good-if only
conditions arise to bring it into
prominense.-Palm Beach Post.

EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The educational campaign which the
Navy League intends to institute. in
those parts of the country more or less
remote from the sea front for the pro
motion Of interest in the development
of the navy should have good result.
1t is not nom lack Of patriotism that
so many Of the inhabitants OF the mid
die, western and southern states are
so generally disposed to leave naval
discussions to people on the seaboard.
nor is the mere fact that the Atlantic
and Pacific state are exposed TO danger
from the attack by sea. in case there
should be any provocation for such at
tack, the only reason why their repre-
sentatives in congress are generally
willing to vote in favor OF large naval
appropriations. The people who live
at tidewater see the ships frequently:
they have first hand information of the
capacity Of the navy, its quality and
its needs. The navy is too rarely. If
ever. uppermost in the minds of the
voters in more than half OF our states.
The Navy League proposes TO put all
the facts about our principal means OF
defense wildly before such people, to
impress upon them the indisputable
fact that the maintenance OF an eff
cient modern navy i5 as necessary for
their prosperity as for ours and the
Californians. N. Y. Times.

GERMANY MIsLED ABOUT OUR
WAR EXPORTS.

The German people are informed by
their home newspapers that one-halt
of the ammunition used by the allies,
the enemies OF Germany. is supplied
BY the United States. Undoubtedly the
falsehood is generally believed in Ger,
many and explains the feeling of all
Germans that their submarine attacks
upon enemy ships carrying this ammu'
milton shall not be abated. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that enormous orders
have been given for ammunition TO

built the ark. Its body looked like Ii

the corkscrew curve every time they
turned over. The exhaust sounded
like fog horn with cold.

The engine ran very nicely and neg

He didn't stall on the crossings and
get in bad with the traffic cops.
Everything went lovely.
