NEWS NOTES

Some people have asked why the Gateway does not publish statement from another paper regarding town site surveys by the government in the Seward neighborhoOd. 1t can be said that no authority is given by the other paper for the statement and that if a paper published everything it saw it would only lead the people astray Tn most cases. We may be all sure the government of the United States will do nothing to rob people of their prop erty, or rob their property of it's value.

KEY WEST TO HONOR
HER CIVIL WAR DEAD

Key West, Nov. 15--The United
Daughters of the Confederacy have
planned for fund to erect a monu-
nent to those from Key West who
lost their lives in the Civil War.
Seven men from Key West were
killed during the war and their
names will be inscribed on the
monument
request was made to the post
office department for a location on
the new site recently purchased for
q federal building on which to erect
the monument. and the correspond
ing secretary read a letter in which
the postoffice department acknowl-
edged the receipt of the request and
stated that the matter would be
taken up with the officials of the
treasury department.
The Daughters are eager to have
the monument erected as soon as
possible and will work earnestly un-
til their efforts haveproved success
full. The site requested is the corner
OF Simonton and Caroline streets.

FALL SOWN OATS MAKE
BIGGEST YIELDS.

Oats is cool weather crop. In
northern countries it is usually
sown in the spring because the
winters are too severe for the
most cold resistant varieties. But
in the South the cool spring
weather does not last long
enough for the crop to make max
imum yields. A few hot dry
days at the wrong time often
mean the difference between a
good and bad yield.
The winters are so mild in
Florida and in many of the neigh
boring states that winter oats
grow well. They will mature be-
fore the weather becomes hot and
dry enough to cut the yield
Some farmers obtain good yields
from spring oats, but, all other
conditions being equal, the win
ter oats will produce more. E.

University of Florida Extension
Division, calls attention to an ex-
pertinent carried out by the Ala
bama Station. Winter oats gave
a 20 per cent. greater yield than
February sown oats. This in
crease is worth trying for. Be-
sides, the oats will make a good
cover crop during winter and
may be pastured to some extent

NOTED CONVICTED
MURDERER DIGS TO NEAR
LIBERTY WITH TEASPOON

John Ashley, in the county Jail
under conviction for the murder of
DeSoto Tiger, the Seminole Indian,
was within three feet of liberty
when his plans were frustrated by
Sheriff Dan Hardie and Jailer Hicks
The desperate prisoner had. for
five weeks. been undermining the
floor Of his cell, digging through
the three inches of concrete and in
to the rotten rock with an ordinary
spoon, and throwing the dirt into
the closet in his cell. flushing it
away in small quantities at a time.
Ashley's cell is on the ground floor
on the west side of the Jail. and be-
tween his cell and the outside wall
is only the corridor three feet wide.
His method was to first dig a hole
about eight inches in diameter in a
dark corner of the cell, through the
concrete. Having accomplished this.
he took the spoon and gradually.
tediously dug away toward the west.
under the concrete floor, and, when
the sheriff flushed the game Monday
night, Ashley had undermined to a
point outside his cell and was with
in two feet of being outside the
outer wall of the jail His inten-
tion obviously was TO complete the
undermining to point outside the
Jail wall, then break in the under
mined portion of the concrete floor
in his cell and crawl through to
liberty
Sheriff Hardie states that about
five weeks ago he and the jailer dis
covered what was going on during
the hour when Ashley was allowed
liberty in the corridors. They de-
cided to watch the progress of the
excavation, in order to see whether
any other prisoners were implicated.
Fine and Crawford, two other con-
vieted murderers, have cells next to
Ashley, one above and the other
on the ground floor. There is no
communication, however, between
the two. The officers permitted the
excavation to proceed until they
thought it dangerous to continue
further. and on Monday night they
entered Ashley's cell and broke in
the shell left of the floor and re-
moved Ashley to more secure
place.
Ashley was furious when he dis
covered that his planh were known.
and he charged Florian R. Craw-
ford. a condemned murderer, with
having given him away to the
sheriff The latter states that in his

Stock Harvest
Efficiency

Livestock should not be giver
free range over large fields wher
they are turned in to harvest thu
crop. Corn, peanuts, velve
beans, sweet potatoes, and some
times peas, can be harvested
cheaply and efficiently by hogs Of
cattle, but they should be limited
to small area at a time. If they
are given the whole field they
will roam over the whole anC
trample down more feed thar
they will eat.
Much of this will get dirty and
become SO damaged that its nu,
tritive value will be lessened even
though the animals would eat it
E. S. Pace, district agent for the
University of Florida Extension
Division, is advising the farmers
to put in cross fences and limit
the range of the stock. In this
way they will clean up the feed
on given plot and waste very
little. Change the fence to an
other plot when necessary.
The fields may be divided BY
permanent fences, but since these
might interfere with cultivation
temporary fences would be more
desirable and less expensive. The
wire can be attached to stakes
and moved from one place to an
other. An additional advantage
is to be had from being able to
sow the harvested area to other
crops, especially winter covers
If the stock are allowed free
range over the field they probably
will not get all the crop har-
vested until too late to plant
other crops.
As soon as one plot is cleaned
move the fence to another and
prepare and SOW the first. While
it is best to plow the land, if hogs
have rooted for peanuts on a
given area it may be disked or
narrowed and sown without
further preparation Exchange.

ANOTHER WINTER CAM.
PAIGN FOR TROOPS

Bologne. France, Nov. 13-Signs
are plentiful that winter is close
upon the troops in the north OF
France. The nights are already cold
far too cold for comfort, and the
characteristic winter nightmist from
the marshes is in the air. The trees
are not yet bare. but the leaves that
remain have turned to a sere yell
low, while the roadways are cover
ed with fallen leaves which the
soldiers here and there heap into
little piles for a fragrant warming
| fire..
1t is evident that there is to be
another winter campaign; robbed,
| however, of much of the horror of
last years ordeal in Doggy trenches
and along impossible roads. In
, northern France, at least, winter
will find the rival armies well pre-
lIpared to receive it. The wet mud.
the ice-cold water knee-deep in the
communication trenches, the ooze
and discomfort of the dugouts, will
b. the exception rather than the
rule this year. The shelters, even
in the advance trenches. will gen
orally be fairly livable, thanks to
Plentiful use of concrete and tar,
and the skillfull employment of
drainage.
Moreover, the armies will be
properly clad and amply fed. The
British soldiers will again don
their sheepskins, supplemented by
ample supplies of warm caps, socks
and heavy boots of rather better
type than last years.
Many of the trenches now have
brick floors, and practically all are
drained and protected against land
slide by timbers.
The great problem Of the winter
will be the billeting of all the new
divisions which have come out since
last year. In the village well be-
hind the firing lines, every out
building and old barn has been re-
Questioned, cleaned, repaired and
made into shelter against the wind
and cold. But nearer the firing
lines most of the buildings have
been smashed into ruins, and al
though they were unable for hous-
ing purposes during the summer,
they are plainly impossible after
mid-November The problem is
being dealt with to some extent by
the building of portable houses and
hUts, but the armies grow too fast
, for the carpenters.
The work of the aeroplane OBJ
servers gets more difficult as winter
approaches. The fogs of the late
autumn cling to the ground in little
patches well into the day, while the
evening mists make observations
difficult soon after mid-afternoon.
