London, April 29-The kilt as a
soldiers uniform has proved itself
entirely superior to the trouser in

Il am told that the Canadian
Scottish regiments treat their kills
as sort Of dress parade and put on
trousers when they go into the

and easier than the cotton scheme
in that it makes no demand on

raised at small cost. In the cities,
of course, the pigs would not be al
lowed close to residences, but in the

Big Shipment
OF Lumber For
South America

Pensacola, April 29-Loaded with
100000 superficial feet of lumber,
the British steamship Wenvoe clear
ed and steamed for sea yesterday,
bound for South America, Rosario
being the specific point of destina-
tion.
Rapid despatch was given this
vessel, less than a week of actual
working time having been consumed
in loading the big steamer. This is
record-breaking accomplishment,
as the steamer loaded lumber car
60 complete, and did 1t in about
one-half the time which it required
in the past to fill vessel with lum-
Der of this size. A little more than
1000 standards were loaded.
Big Russian Vessel Here
Another large four-mastered Rus
sian bark reached port late Sunday
afternoon, this being the Margar-
ctd, WHiCu WCuI " qudi ohIAhS' "AN
which will come over probably this
forenoon, to be berthed probably at
the G., F. & A. wharf, for discharg-
ing ballast and to receive cargo.
The Margareta is not as large as the
ship Frieda, which has been loading
timber, lumber and rosin since ar
rival, but it may be stated the two
Russian sailing vessels are the larg-
est craft of their rig now in port.
The Margareta is consigned to
the Southern States Lumber Com
pany, and, like the bark Superior,
which arrived a few days previous
ly, the Margareta will be filled out
with lumber by the Southern States
Lumber Company.
To Finish With Blumberg
Within the next couple of days,
all cargo will have been removed
from the German steamship Iudolf
Blumberg, which is moored on the
east side of Perdido wharf. The en-
tire cargo is being stacked on the
bench at the head of the wharf, this
being done under an order from the
court. 1t is possible that sailing
vessel will be filled out with the |
greater part Of the consignment and |
the same be exported by that means

RAIsE-A-PlG MOVEMENT

St. Petersburg negroes who have

increase the wealth of the people
of his race and thereby help the
whole South. Through Prof. 0gle-

the raise-a-pig movement has been
started in and near st. Petersburg
and it is expected that scores of ne
gro families here will found with
pigs in their back yards.
The pig club movement promises
to be a big thing. 1t is explained
in the following letter which is be-

Our race is in constant search Of
means with which to provide better
homes, schools. colleges and

HISTORY OF THE WAR
BEING TAUGHT CHILDREN
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, April 29-The history of
the war is being taught to the chill
dren of France as it goes on. By
order of the minister of public in
struction the schools have observed
a patriotic day. Every teacher talk
ed about the war and brought out
the patriotic character of the con-
flict from the French standpoint.
There followed a Belgium day de-
voted to King Albert's heroic atti-
tude, Serbian day, and a day con-
secrated to the praises of the cele-
brated 3-inch field gun.
Instead of distracting the minds
of the children from school work.
the war has been made to heighten
its interest and the attendance has
been normal throughout the winter.
The greatest difficulty was the nee
essity of finding new quarters for
the primary classes, most of the
school houses having been utilized
by the army for barracks and hos
pitfalls, but this has been overcome.
The details of instruction in mat
tiers pertaining to the war are left
to the discretion of the teachers.
some Of them read and comment up
on the official communicates. Others
read the exploits of officers and men
as disclosed by the citations in the
orders Of the day, and many letters
sent from the front by soldiers of
the vicinity are read. It is often the
soldier in person who tells the little
ones Of his experiences. for many
teachers, disabled for further SER
vice in the army, have returned to
their school duties. Sometimes 1t is
a soldier that has never been a peda-
gogue who relates his experiences.

Governor Trammell Fav0rs Central
Route For Dixie Highway

In the St. Petersburg Times OF
Sunday there was printed copy of
q letter, written to Governor Tram
NELL, urging him to investigate the
routing of the Dixie Highway and to
confer with the commissioners ad-
vising them of the advantages to the
whole state if this highway is built
down the center of the state, instead
of on the extreme east coast.
The governor has Just written the
following letter, which speaks for
itself and shows that he is greatly
interested in the matter and will do
all he can for it. He gave the re-
quest personal and very prompt at
tention.
The letter, written ON April "a,
follows:
Mr.. Fred F. Smith,
St. Petersburg, Fla.
My dear sir:
l am in receipt Of your letter of
the 21st instant, relative to the To-
cation of the Dixie Highway, and
can assure you hiatt l am heartily in
sympathy with the idea that it
should be located so as to touch as
large number of the counties of the
State as possible. will endeavor to
see Mr.. Saxon and talk with him
upon this subject. l remember quite
we'll our pleasant meeting in Tampa.
With kindest regards / am,
Sincerely yours,

AN OHIO FARM IN FLORIDA

Representative Frank Clark of
Florida never loses an opportunity
to impress his colleagues in the
House with the great resources of
his State, the superior climate, and
the big opportunities offered for the
investment of capital. Whenever
Mr.. Clark is visited by constituent,
says the Washin gton Post, he en-
courages the latter to talk in glow
ing language of the greatness of
Florida. Recently Mr.. Clark was
conducting about the city J. d.
Rooney, secretary of the Ocala Board
of Trade, and chairman of the Flor
ida Vegetable Marketing Bureau.
At Congress Hall, Mr.. Clark and
his constituent joined party of
members, among whom was Repre-
sentative Bathrick of Ohio. Mr..
Rooney took the first opportunity to
launch into panegyric of his state.
He addressed his conversation par
ticularly to Mr.. Bathrick.
"Now, in Florida, we can produce
the finest Irish potatoes in the
world" said Mr.. Rooney.
"Oh, SO can !. on my farm" re.
turned Mr.. Bathrick.
1--WE can raise the finest oranges
in the world" continued Mr.. Rooney.
$50 can I on my farm" said Mr..
i Bathrick.
"There Is no grapefruit on earth
that can compare with the grape
fruit raised on my farm in Flor
ida," persisted Mr.. Rooney.
mot any better than I can raise
on my farm" averred Mr.. Bathrick
Mr.. Rooney was beginning to get
nettled. That a member of Con-
gress from Ohio should insist that
he could raise on his farm the same
quality of tropical fruits that could
be produced in Florida was amaz-
ing him.
Mr.. Rooney began to sputter and
get angry. when Representative
Clark moved quietly up behind him,
and pulling his coat tail, remarked
in low tone:
Lay off, Rooney, and shut up
Bathrick owns one of the finest
farms in Florida"

A strong wind was blowing ana

crashing of limbs and ran to her
child. but when she reached her, the
tree had fallen across the little body
and broken the childs neck, killing
her instantly.

SWEET potatoes are one of the most
profitable crops in Florida. 1t is
estimated that the acreage this
year will be fully 25 per cent. larg-
err than last season. Growers are be-
ginning to realize that sweet pota-
toes of uniform size when raised in
such quantities that shipment can
be made in car lots are a money
maker. There is a steady increase
in the demand for good stock. The
yield per acre is large, and the re-
turns per acre compare favorably
with any other crop in Florida,
when fertilizer, labor and condition
of soil are taken into consideration.
For northern markets the Jersey
red, Triumph and Jersey Yellow are
the most popular varieties. All
southern markets prefer the yellow
yams. Sweet potatoes are in de-
mand the year round. Prices range
from coo to $1.25 per bushel. They
can be raised on almost any kind
Of land, and by cooperation the
growers Of every county agree to
plant a certain number of acres
which would insure shipments of
car lots to the markets. There Is
not time during the entire year
that sweet potatoes are not in de-
mand to a certain extent. OF course,
prices fluctuate considerable but the
southern sweet potato is a staple ar
ticle and growers are realizing the
fact more every day.
Kissimmee is planning to have a
fair day and has announced that on
May Sd there will be a general dis
play of farm products, canned goods,
and preserves, and now the Valley
Gazette says that the stockmen of
that vicinity will add to the import
ance of the date by bringing in Hne
cattle for a big cattle sale. The idea
at first was only for the display Of
Osceola county products, but the
cattle sale will add interest to the
occasion. Stock will be brought
from adjoining states and this will
be offered along with Florida range
cattle. Within the past year the
live stock industry has attained
greater prominence than for many
years past and sale such as is pro-
posed in Kissimmee will attract
considerable attention.

forth the above expression from Gov (.
Trammell and which appeared in the
St. Petersburg Times follows:
All Florida is taking a great in
terest in the new Dixie Highway
and it will be a great thing for the
whole state if it is properly located,
but there seems to be disposition
on the part of it's promoters to lessen
its value by placing 1t loo much on
the edges Of the state rather than
running it down near the center.
The two terminals, Chicago on
the north end and Miami on the
south end have been decided on
definitely already, but the exact
route in each of the states is left to
two commissioners in each state,
who have been appointed by the
governors.
In Florida the route contemplate
ed by them is from Live Oak to
Jacksonville and thence all the way
over the road bed of the Quebec
Miami highway, which is already
built from Jacksonville to Miami,
thus leaving entirely off OF the route
the thirty important cities in the
middle and west coast and q tre-
mendous effort is being made by
our good road boosters to influence
those in charge of it to route 1t via
Gainesville, Ocala, Brooksville, Plant
