In the clothing trade, you
hear a lot about balance"
With perfect balance"
there's perfect fit.
Any strenuous alteration
to a finished garment is likely
to throw the whole thing out
of balance, and spoil the fit.
The one way out for a
clothier in cutting his stock
is to consider "longs,"
Shorts" extra longs"
"stouts, short stouts" and
long stouts," as we'll as
regulars"
Think of all the combina-
tons Of those seven types
with all the chest measures
from 80 to 54-you see why
the average clothier must
often fall down.
1t takes a stock like ours
to give room for a real va
riety Of fabrics. at q wide
range of prices, to fit men Of
every size.
But it pays-for here any
man gets the sort of suit he
wants without any danger Of
losing his balance"

Among the welcome visitors to the
Telegram Office yesterday was Editor
w. l.. Straub of the St. Petersburg
Times and we much enjoyed a half
hour's chat with that alert and ca
Fable newspaper man whose paper
has long been recognized as one Of
the best edited in the State. Straub
is the embodiment of progress and
tfficiency, perfect DYNAMO of en-
ergy, and there is never a time when
he isn't busy on some scheme for the
betterment of people and things in
St. Petersburg and Pinellas county,
and all Florida for that matter. He
is a strong, clear thinker, and a
writer of metropolitan breadth and
style, who can put the grace of hui
NOR and the punch of force into
what he writes, and hence the Times
carries the just influence of a pop
ular and widely read paper and is a
favorite among the exchange editors
Of the State press.

EVERGLADES TO GROW
VALUABLE FABRIC PLANT

With the purchase of eleven
thousand acres of land in theuppcr
Everglades from the Southern States
Land Company, George w. Moore, os
Boston, and his brother-in-law, Mr..
Adams, who for the past several
years have carried on experimental
paintings in the Everglades near
navie, have demonstrated their faith
in thesoil of the Glade land for use
in producing a plant likely to revo-
lutionize certain fabric manufactur-
ing industries.
For the past three or four years
Messrs. Adams and Moore have con-
Quoted their experiments on tract
of some twenty-six acres up the New
River canal from Davie. and, as it
has been generally said that they
would allow no one to inspect their
crops, many rumors have been cir
culated in connection with the I'M
ueTtaklng.
The latest, and apparently the
most authentic report relative to the
plant with which Messrs. Moore and
Adams have been experimenting, is
that it is fiber producing plant
brought by Mr.. Adams from the
Orient, presumably from the Philli-
pines. 1t is explained on what pur-
ports to be reliable authority chat
the fiber from the mysterious plant
il akin to vegetable silk and is Of
such texture as to revolutionize the
vegetable silk industry, when it is
i: rown in sufficient quantities.
1t Is said that the experiments
conducted by Messrs Moore and
Adams have been so successful that
they decided to go into the industry

of Everglades land, which lies be-
tween Fort Lauderdale and Hills

the Everglades called the upper

velopments progressed to a point
where actual drainage began.
One thousand acres of the newly
acquired tract will be planted g:

acres additional each year until the
entire tract has been set to the f.
brous plant, such at least being the
present intention of the expert

streets of Miami.
Persons interested in Everglades
land are elated over the sale of this

HOW A POLK COUNTY
GIRL CAN SWIM

The Telegram recently had some
thing to say as to the importance of
learning every boy and girl in the
land how to swim, subject about
which we feel strongly as a matter
of more than ordinary Importance
for both sanitary and safety reas-
ems. In this connection we repre-
duce the following from the Jackson
Mich Patriot, which has added
interest because of it's reference TO
the wonderful swimming accomplish.
of little Polk county girl out at
Crooked Lake:
There is no stronger argument
for teaching people how to swim
than the experience of men and
women who were passengers on
steamers attacked by submarines
during the past year, or the death
lists from drownings in our lakes
and rivers that are made public ev-
cry season, Many of the drownin gs
could have been prevented if the vie
tins had had even a rudimentary
knowledge of swimming Accidents

their shores or close to shallow wa

What's the matter with the allies
in France that they don't make that
great advance movement which the
whole world has been expecting ever
since last May? In the absence OF
information on the subject, and our
6Wh military expert having trans
ferred his activities in other direc-
tions, we reproduce the following
from the Times-Union, which is sug-
sestive, though not satisfying
They say Joffre learned his STRAIT
egg from Lee and is defending Paris
as Lee defended Richmond; don /
you see the difference? When Lee
put his army in trenches he didn't
propose that it take root there; when
Grant attacked he always found Lee
entrenched, but Lees army was al
ways mobile and could strike when
ever half an opportunity was offered
But the French and English are fas-
tened so deep in their bitches that
when half the German army goes
away to fight and keeps away for
two months, Joffre and French wait
kindly and patiently for the enemy
to come back-to pull away from the
mud in which they have lived so
long would tear out their hearts:
they are rooted like. the trees and
can only fight when the Germans
run up against them"

That Austrian ambassador in
Washington who so far forgot duty

should torpedo the ship he goes on

American citizens travelling on the

fidence will enable any person to
keep afloat for short time by learn
ing the simpler strokes needed in
swimming. Every child living near
q lake or river should be taught to
swim, and every boy or girl of the
over eight thousand enrolled in the
public schools of Jackson county
should 'be given an opportunity to
master this accomplishment. The Y.
M. C. A. and the Y. w. C. A. are
doing an important work in teach
ing the art of swimming, but they

BIG INCREASE Of
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled ~ the public
ment show that last year. notwith.
standing that quite a third of the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. Al
though southern Alberta had bad
year agriculturally. the province as
whole experienced a period OF great
prosperity, due principally TO mixed
farming, which is becoming more gem
eral with each succeeding year
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk. cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
Of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
ducing 34,997,117 bushels. or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of SOC
per bushel these yielded a revenue OF
