their methods and plan operation
was likewise intensified and
strengthened, SO that in the period
following from 1903 to 1910 in
elusive, these associations increased
in assets to $17O,750,527.91, maxi
ing an annual gain Of $9,932,726.52.
They occupy high place in the
the financial situation in the State,
and must be reckoned with when
finance is considered.
The Bureaus report for Ohio for
1912, shows assets of $205, 445,
994.59, which shows an increase of
assets in 2 years of $34,695, 1868.
With the best possible reason, the
report of the State Bureau says:
"The confidence Of the public in
the methods and management Of the
building and loan associations Of
this States emphatically evidenced
by these figures"
Lest some one may question
whether our name will bring us un'
der this Florida law for domestic OF
local associations, we will quote
from section of this new law.
1.-The corporate name adopted by

shall contain one or more of thu
words building, loan, savings, ant
shall not contain any of the words
bank, banking or trust.
Our name was chosen to homo
Lakeland, to conform to the law
and to be as short and yet expressive
as possible of what it stands for.

Miami, Aug. 81 Preparations
were made yesterday by A. T. La
Sale, supervisor of registration for
the holding next Tuesday of an
election in Dade county to determine
whether the county shall declare in
favor of compulsory school attend
ance. Ballot boxes were made ready
for all the twenty six precincts OF
the county, and in each were placed
ballots, poll lists, instructions to the
inspectors, certificates of returns, and
the other matter necessary for the
conducting of the election.
Dade will be the first county in
the state to hold an election under
the newly created act, but both Palm
Beach and Pinellas counties are pre-
pairing to follow in Dade's footsteps
within a few days.
The ballot to be used next Tues
day will be plain white paper upon
which will be printed the words
For compulsory school attendance"
and Against compulsory school at
tendance" so arranged that the
voter may express his choice, as in
the Australian ballot, by making II
cross mark to the left of one or the
other of the two lines.
Should three fifths of votes cast
at the election be for compulsory
school attendance, then the compul-
sorry school attendance laws will be
in force for the next two years, or
forever thereafter until such another
election is held in compliance with
the provisions of the law.
If three fifths or more of votes
shall be cast against compulsory
school attendance, then school at
tendance shall not be compulsory in
the county until otherwise determir-
Cd by an election held in pursuanc 2
of the law.
The act provides that when any
such election is held in whole
county compulsory school attendance
shall be enforced in any school
board district or districts of the
county wherein a three fifths vote
was cast for compulsory school at
tendance though three fifths vote
OF the county as whole was cast
against compulsory school attend.

Ut is also provided that when ans
such election is held in a whole
county, compulsory school attend

Britain Will Do Her Best.
FRANCE CONFIDENT.
That America and England Will Adjust
Differences

Paris, Jan. Extensive comments on
the American note to the British govern
ment are appearing in the French press.
IL is agreed that no danger exists Of a
rupture OF the excellent relations be-
tween the United States and England,
France and Russia. The opinion Is ex-
pressed generally that the conciliatory
attitude of both the American and Brit
ish governments points TO an amicable
adjustment.
America, it is said, of all nations,
would avoid any unjust policy. Several
newspapers say that President Wilson's
own reference TO the sharp practices
employed by some American shippers APP
pears to Justify the precautionary meas
ures which have been taken. The sug-
gestion is made incidentally that the
American note renders imperative the
publication by France of the new list Of
contraband This revised list has just
been agreed upon by the allies.
Germany, the newspapers declare, has
inaugurated new methods Of warfare
which are criticised severely. In conse-
auence Of these measures, il Is asserted
i has been necessary for the allies TO
defend themselves vigorously, and all
measures adopted had been adopted by
necessity. The general opinion is that
there viii be- little difficulty in making
a satisfactory explanation 20 the Ameri-
can government along these lines.

BARRE ALL-STARS"
WERE WINNERS
Defeated Company F Basketball Team of
Mortified by Score Of 60 to 10
Yesterday Afternoon.

Before a small audience, the Barre
All stars" defeated the Company +
team of Mortified by a score of SO to 10
at the Church street gymnasium yester-
day afternoon. The visiting team has
for this season long list of victories,
and its defeat of yesterday came some
what as a surprise. The first game be-
tween the two teams was played some
time ago at Mortified, when the Barre
team suffered defeat by a narrow
margin. The game of yesterday eyened
up matters, and a deciding game will
probably be played later.
At the opening of the game, neither
side seemed able 20 cage the ball, and
il was only after a number of minutes
play that Brown was able to make the
first point. The rest of the period was
not full OF scoring, and when time was
called the score stood II 10 8 in Barre's
favor. The rest of the game was faster,
but the Barre boys completely outclassed
their opponents. Brown. the Barre star
center, was by far the best shot Of the
day, caging the ball nine times from the
floor and three from fouls. The best
work for the losers was done by JeiIries,
captain OF their team. The lineup:

Lane yesterday issued regulations under
which settlers may take for two-year
periods ten-acre tracts Of Alaska coal
