OF BOY DESPERADOES

When City Marshal Carson started
home Tuesday evening he was joined
by John Zolls. Lets step to this back
window" said Mr.. Carson, and "see
what the boys we have here are talking
about"
The men soon learned. The boys
were discussing plans for escape.
They were proposing to strike the mar
shal the following morning, when be
came to feed them, and make their es-
cape. Mr.. Carson's Kentucky temper
got the best of him at that moment,
and he Immediately arose, saying,
"Here | am, boys, DO that trick you
were talking Of now.
While one Of the boys was being ex-
amned before Judge Buck, the other

gether and reaching with the stick thus
formed for a key left in the lock of an

OUR NATIONAL GUARD
SIZES UP WEAKLY

Washington. Nov. Much has
been said and written, since the
European war becan. as to the mill
tary preparedness Of the United
States Organizations whose pur-
pose Is to encourage preparedness
and to urge more liberal appropria-
tions for the army and navy have
been oreanized in all parts of the
country. The army and the navy
have been thoroughly studied in re-
cent months. and the President is
now busy with their problems: but
then, of military age between
eighteen and fortyfcur years. of
whom, according to the reports of
State Adiutant Generals on file in
Washington, there are nearly H.
100000. OF this number, as great
almost as the total of all the armies
now lighting in Europe, only sixty
one hundredths of one per cent. are
in the militia of the various States,
which means that more than &c.,
S00,O00 are men practically without
military training.
TO get an idea of the situation, a
representative was permitted a few
days ago to read some of the govern
mcnt reports on the condition of the
militia. The result was startling.
In more than "a score of States there
Is no field artillery of ay sort, and
in the whole country there are fewer
than forty officers of ordinance. In
thirtyfive states there are no or
ganzations trained for coast artil-
lery. lwenty-four have no cavalry, a
large majority are without signal
troops, while the total force of or
ganized engineers. officers and men,
totals less than l,50O for the entire
country One State, Nevada, is with
out military organization of any
kind.

the finishing touches have practical
ly been placed on the presidents an
nual message to Congress, it is an
open secret in Washington that Mr..
Wilson has been the recipient of
much contradictory advice on the
labor question. The recent contro-
versy over the "anti-dumping
clause" of the new antitrust laws,
of which Secretary of Commerce
Redfeld was tn central figure, was
only the forerunner of the general
conditions that the administration
probably will be called upon to face
when peace has been declared in Eu-
rope. Some economists declare that
labor will be cheap, while others
say that tn shortage of men, due to
the casualties of the conflict, will
keep wages higher in Europe than
they ever have been. American in
dustry it is admittd, is in no shape
to meet foreien competition of this
type unless the tariff is invoked to
aid it.

BIG LEGAL FIGHT OVER
SEIZURE OF FLA. GRAPEFRUIT

Cincinnati. Nov 2I-The seizure
of 80 boxes Of grapefruit by the gov
ernment. in the hands of the trade
here, which had been shipped by the
j. X. dickson Packing Company,
from Narania, Fya., October 16,
likely will develop into very i'm
pOrtant test case in the United
States Court before the matter is
settled. The fruit was seized in
stragglinfg lots October 30 having
been taken from thestore doors by a
United States Marshal, accompanied
by r A. Gray, government 1nspec-
tor, who had been tracing the car
from shipping point to destination.
He, with other federal agents and
laboratory men. furnished the infOr-
nation from which United States
District Attorney Edward X. Bruce,
prepared a liberal action through
which the federal officers will prose-
cute the case alleging a violation of
the Food and Drugs Act
The action brought is in line with
the recently issued circular by the
Department of Agriculture which
recommended the seizure of oranges
which had been artifcially colored
by sweating. either prior to ship
ment or in transit.
The % boxes taken here are stored
in two lots from which samples have
been taken by both the government
and those representing the shippers
and distributors and which are be-
ing analysed for the acidity test.
Probably there will be a very inter
esing controversy in the way of evil
dence between the experts when the
matter comes up for hearing.

LAKELAND ASKED TO

The attention of Lakelands pro.

scheme for advertising Florida as a
whole, and in which every commune
ty is invited to share. Nothing of
the kind has ever been attempted
before, except in California, the re-
suits in which State are too well
known to relate here.
This plan was presented yesterday
at the Memberbership Council of the
Chamber of Commerce and it was un-
animously decided that Lakeland
could not afford to be out of it. A
Representative from Avon Park, lit
tie village just over the Polk County
line stated that they had sent in
their quota last week, amounting to
5000. If Avon Park cannot afford to
be out of it for the sakespf 5000, GER
tainly Lakeland must get in at a cost
of only 1911 80, for which she will get
the benefit of the whole $4,000 to be
spent in carrying out this big scheme.
The first copy goes to the press
| early in December, to run for about
ninety days, and quick action is nee
essary.
The railroads in the Florida Ter
rtory have already subscribed $685.
600 of the whole amount as their
share, and if these corporations are
willing to put so large an amount, the
worth OF the enterprise cannot be
questioned.

ment (371.90) must be raised with
in seven days or it will be too late
to get the full benefit of the adver-
/ tsing which commences in some is
sues on the 18th of December.

do something to make them better,
and this is one logical way of get
ting such results.
A proposition made yesterday by

81 to contribute $40 to the fund,
would easily secure the amount, ii
