REFUSED TO BURN CANKER
TREES AND IS ARRESTED

w. O. Shepperd was yesterday put
under $1,000 peace bond and an
other bond of $3.50 guaranteeing his
appearance at the next session of
criminal court of record, following
complaint of members of the State
Plant Board that he had refused to
comply with their requests in ex-
terminating his grove of citrus
canker.
Mr.. Shepherds grove is located in
the Redlands district, and the plant
board members complained to Coun-

NO GUNS ON THIS ISLAND

l Ouc VI the mOSt poctiS VI PhAA
thopies is that of Mrs. Russell Sage,
who, at cost of $4,000, has pur-
chased Marsh Island, off the south
coast of Louisiana, and dedicated it
as a perpetual refuge for North Am
erican birds from the snares and
guns of the fowler.
| This island is one of the best that
could be chosen for refuge purposes.
In their spring and autumn migra-
tions it is the stopping place for a
great many varieties of birds and
in the winters it is frequented by
great numbers of wild fowl. 1t is a
natural refuge and breeding place,
especially for egrets (Which have
been almost exterminated, owing to
the demand for their snowy plum
age), and also for herons, bitterns
and looms; while in the winter
there are many species of shore
birds. The yearly slaughter for the
| island has been something like
loo, 900.
For many years Mrs. Sage has
been interested in bird preservation
and contributor to the Audubon
Society. Through the effors of Ed
ward A. MtIlhenny, who some years
ago established a bird refuge on
Avery Island, Louisiana, she was
acquainted with the facts in connec-
tion with Marsh Island, and the de-
: STABILITY of securing it for ref
uge.
Impressed by Mr. McIlhenny's
plea, she commissioned Dr.. George
Bird Grinnell, founder of the Audi
bon Society, to investigate the is
land. DR.. Grinnell reported that
the Island, which is eighteen miles
long and nine miles in width. and
comprises $1,000 acres, was an ideal
spot for refuge. Mrs. Sage there
upon purchased the entire island.
To protect birds from poachers a
gasoline cutter will patrol the north
side of the island, nearest; the
I mainland, making it's entire length
each day. On the south side, which
is less accessible because of the
shore formation, it is thought that
one or tdwo sentinels on horseback
will be sufficient.
| Signs has already been put up
declaring the island privcate prop
erty, and warning gunners to keep
off in accordance with the law of
Louisiana.
Among the commonest fowl found
on the island by DR.. Grinnell were
Canada geese, snow geese. the blue
geese that are becoming extinct as
a result of gunners' campaigns. and
several kinds of ducks.
| On the west point is a colony of
royal terms, and to the north a small
city of laughing gulls. Caspian and
Foster terms, black swimmers and
other water birds. Among thee Their
birds are the fellow-crowned night
herons, Louisiana herons, great blue
herons, chapperrails, and few of
the rare sandhill cranes.
Means for bringing snowy herons
to Marsh Island are being consider
ed. About the pools and ponds of
fresh and brackish waters 1t is pos
sible that heronries will be estab-
lished, not only as resting places.
but as breeding grounds. This
would necessitate the planting of
trees; but 1t is believed that will

The tourists will not care to visit

forced to become acquainted with
their own land.
Accordingly, Florida must get rec

to the square miles than any other
state-it being the first to have
white settlement. 1t contains more
fossil remains of the huge animals

than any other part of America .
Nowhere else in the United States
are there such boating, sailing,
bathing and fishing facilities in
both salt and fresh water, at time
when the states north of the Ohio

snow. And Florida visitors, too, at
this time, are eating fresh vegetables
from the gardens and ripe fruit from

Florida should arrange to secure
lot of home makers from this pros

munity should be prepared to show
up its advantages in the right way,
without imitation of facts and prices.
Every visitor should be supplied
with printed matter detailing the
real truth about the state-not i'm
aginings-things as they are. The
truth is good enough. No commun-

1T is strange to hear people who
are supposed to read the newspapers
as the only source from which they
can get information about the war,
say that the British troops are doing
no fiehting and the British navy is
an idle asset. And yet the Germans
would have had both Paris and Ca
lais months ago but for the heroic
resistance of the British army in
France holding nearly forty miles of
battle line, and in holding it lost
nearly 100000 soldiers dead and
wounded. And as for the British
navy being an idle asset, it has
swept all the seven seas of German
ships of war and commerce, holds
them securely bottled up in German
harbors and interned in neutral
ports and has kept all the ocean
lanes open to British vessels. The
only reason there have been no great
spectacular sea fights between the
dreadnaughts Is because the German
warships are huddled in mine-pro-
tected German waters and dare not
come out in the open to meet the
more numerous ships of Great Brit
ain. The British navy has been of
enormous service to the allies since
the war began and without it Ger
many would be bossing things on the
high seas about like she is in Po-
land, and ravaging the British coast
and coast towns and cities at her
pleasure

STRIKE SITUATION RESTS TIL
/. ARBITRATION STARTS
Chiefs of the car companies and
union heads are each claiming that
their side gained actual points and
moral victory in the Mayor Thomp-
son arbitration plan.
It's all over now. The temporary
jitney bussifer, now happily reunited
to his strap, is probably no longer so
deeply interested, since he does not
have to walk.
The company officials, including L.
A. Busby and B. L Budd, presidents,
say their side won, because they say
a victory was gained for unlimited
arbitration.
The union leaders, all of them, are
elated. They call it a great victory
for fair arbitration.
It is not an unlimited arbitration.
1t is agreed, before arbitration starts,
that the company is to do away with
the 'ftripper" system, that the men
shall receive so per cent of straight
runs, that the night men be paid So
for six hours or less, that all books
of the company wanted shall be
opened, that the working day be
completed in reasonable length of
time. So will the demand of the
men that the number of grades be re-
duced from nine in five years to two
in one year. 1t is understood in adj
vance that there shall be no reduc-
ton of wages. ..- ...-
Both sides say they are satisfied
and the straphangers are resting
their tired shanks in pleased con-
tentment-

tives on the arbitration board Satur-
day. With smiling Mayor Thompson
