IS A MULE A HORSE9

Is a mule horse? Upon the de-
cision of which in the Minnesota
courts, developed the question of
whether mule-thief was a horse
thief. In that state there is a
standing offer of a reward of 5000
for the catching and conviction of
horse-thief. A man stole two
mules, was caught and convicted of
the theft, but when the reward was
claimed. objection was made that a
mule was not horse, therefore the
claim for reward would not hold.
This view was sustained by the
court. Then the argument was set
up that a mule was half horse, and
as two mules were stolen, and that
two halves make whole, ergo,
there was at least one horse stolen.
But the court couldn't see it that
way. so now the thief catchers in
that state won't bother to catch
mule thieves.--Estero Eagle.

SERIOUS OFFENSE TO TAKE
AUTO FOR JOY RIDE WITH
OUT OWNERS CONSENT

Taking an automobile from its
garage without the consent of the
owner, and using it for joy riding or
other purposes was construed this
morning by Municipal Judge Phillips
as serious matter which, in the alb
sence of extraordinary leniency,
might land the one who does it in
the penintentiary.
The case was that of E. C. Allen,
young man employed by j. A.
Damn, and the charge against him
was larceny of an automobile. The
facts are developed from the testi-
mony showed that Allen entered
the garage last night, took the auto
mobile without permission, and Mr..
Damn, visiting the garage, found the
machine gone. The arrest Of Allen
followed. The defendant admitted
the offense, but in explanation he
said that he did not suppose Mr..
Damn would object and that he had
used the car before in the same way.
Judge Phillips acted as peace
maker and hettled the case satisfac-
torily. Mr.. Damn was permitted to
withdraw the charge of larceny and
q charge of disorderly conduct was
substituted. This. the court stated,
was In consideration of the fact that
the young man is supporting his
mother and that the court would re-
greet seeing him suffer the extreme
penalty in such cases.
The judge then stated that he
would require the defendant to
apologize to Mr.. Damn for the trans
gression and assure him that it
would not occur again. This was
done in the proper spirit, and the
court closed the incident by impos-
ing Jail sentence on the defendant
and paroling him on good behavior,
with the admonition that if his con-
duct in the future in this respect is
all right the sentence will rot be
cxacted.-Miami Metropolis.

GOING GERMANY ONE BETTER

nearly twenty-five miles distant,
they fought the greatest long dis
lance battle ever know in modern
warfare. 1t was the first time that
projecticle had dever been fired at
all actual target at such a distance
aEd the feat has attracted the at
tention of military men everywhere
IT took theprojectile 1O7 seconds TO

at a great angle, it reached a max.

why, then, it will be asked is a
gun built that can fire a distance of
thirty-one miles when its rational
range in battle is intended to be
about 5000 yards? 1t is merely a
latter of angles. In normal battle

known as direct" firing, or low
angle firing. Their normal angle 81

coed fifteen degrees for the 1900
Yards range. But the resorting To-
high-range firing, by training the
gun at an angle of forty-ive de-.
grees, using the proper powder
charge, Unnecessary weight of pro-
jectile and fitting the twelve-inch
naval gun on a proper gun carriage
so that it may be fired like a
howitzer, is entirely practicable and
by so doing the staggering range Of
$1,000 yards, or thirty-one miles
can be covered by its projectile.
Not only has the American nan
such gun but the United States
army is able to make similar
boast. The long-nosed twelve-inch
coast defense gun, which built like q
marine gun, is able to throw shot
weighing 700 pounds a distance Of
tLirty-one miles when red from :
properly constructed carriage at an
angle of forty live degrees and with
the proper velocity. There are an
even dozen of this latest model Of
American twelve-inch naval guns on
board the battleship Wyoming. Il
is the gun technically known to the
ordnance experts of the United
States as the Mark VII l2-inch,
breech-loading rife, fifty calibers in
length.
No wonder, then that the ordans
experts Of the American army and
navy do not regard the Dunklf'
performance as remarkable except
as a matter of gnnery and as .
practical demonstration of what mas
already been worked out on paper
Gun-making has advanced to the
point during the last five yea'
where any Of thelaaest models OF 'le
50-caliber twelve-inch guns ma"
for the United States, Germany u
England have been powerful enough
for the long-range shooting OF INC
Germans into Dunkirk The eXper"
assert that it was merely a mater
of practice and formula.
Uncle Sam must not sit down nov
and fold his hands. He does nO'
have enough of the guns, nor does '
have enough men to man then nv
must get more and he must Tran
more men. Let him build the guns
and then establish training cahp

''One of the reasons for selecting
the newspapers is that we have
learned to follow the local adver-
Users lead. We have for a long
time used the so-called national
magazines, but would rather, 10 to

newspaper than in any of the ma
tional magazines, because / know
that there it will come face to face
with the man who is going to buy
car alingside the intimate reading
matter that is part of the daily
reading. 1t is because of this posi-
bility of getting in close personal
touch with them that we use news
papers. and would rather be where
the mass of advertising is, in the
newspapers that cry the most than
not. Place it in the paper that is
most used"

WHY FORD USES PAPERS

Speaking before the st. Louis Ad-
vertising club recently, C. A. Brown
ell, who has been advertising man.
ager of the Ford Motor Company for
nine years said:
"Our advertising department, in
buying advertising, is absolutely de-
void of sentiment, as in the buying
of vanadium or any other mer-
chandise. We figure that it is as
much a part of the coast of produc-
ing an automobile as is the steering
wheel or the carburetor, and we buy
our advertising in as cold blooded a
way as we do the steering wheel
For our purpose, we almost ex-
clusively use the newspapers, be-

Conditions throughout the South
generally are reported to be very
much improved, insuring a greatly
increased demand for railroad trans.
portation, and this will be of great
benefit to the railroads financially.
Cotton has been the only great
American crop that has suffered
from the war and the British paper
blockade" The South is beginning
to feel acutely the hostile attitude of
Great Britain manifested in denying
the right of this country to do bust
ness freely with all neutral nations
But war, justice and humanity
are never punched together any

"The financial history of 1914
bpoints anew the security and dedsir.
ability Of investments in building
and loan associations. As in every
preceding period Of financial dis
/, turbance the stockholders found
that their funds could be withdraw
without delay or depreciation; they
had neither to question the security
of their investments nor their avail
ability in case of need.
These conditions have given an
increased share of confidence and
patronage to financial institutions,
like building and loan associations.
that lend only upon first mortgages

The in tmcnts offered by

secure as to rincipal, certain as to

pend upon the earnings of their in

and for the Investment of trust

The above is taken from the
literature of the IIarrodsburg State
lapltal Savings and Loan Associa-
ton. Their manager had kindly Of
fered to send us anything they had
and we thought would help spread
the gospel of "Savings-Loan'' in
Lakeland and all Florida. We
wrote and asked for three, folder,

their diligent, honest and co-epera-
tive labor and methods, they have a
comparatively short time, built I'D
the largest local society of our kind
in Pennsylvania, with her over

pleasure that we can now advise the
public that we will supply one Of
these to all who are even a little in

want to be II really good.

SAND ASPHALT ROADS
$500 CHALLENGE

the First State Bank of Eustis as a
RESPONSIBLE citizen. comes forWaro
and makes the following CHALLENGE
which carries the main facts as 10
sand-asphalt paving:
"Eustis, Fla,
editor Lake Region: Inaccurate
statements intended to deceive the
ppblic have been printed in certain
newspapers. which ! propose to re-
frte by making the following state
ment and challenge, regarding the
sand-asphalt road in front of the
new Osklawaha hotel, in the city OF
Eustis, Fla.
Fact No. IL will pay $500 TO
any man who will prove by compe-
tent witnesses that there has ever
been one cent of repairs made on
the above roadway since 1t was
constructed in January, 1918.
Fact No. 2-This road was not
laid on clay or mari foundation,
however desirable such might be.
The fact is the old clay surface was
dug out to grade and the sandals
phalt mixture was laid on a sand
foundation.
"Fact No. Sand has not been
thrown upon this model road more
than three times since it was con-
structed, over two years and a half
aco, and this was done in lieu OF
the regular finishing surface which
was never put on the road. The road
was thoroughly washed of all sand
in August of last year and has con-
t;nued thus.
Fact No. "A knife can he
plunged into this road at any point,
evidencing the life of the materials
of which it is composed The very
fact that pure asphalt roads and
ST nd-asphalt are more or less ficx-
lille attests the life of them
"Fact No. This Eustis road
turns water like ducks back. The
oil-binder does not allow the water
to penetrate.
Exact No. 6-There is more traf-
fic on this road than on any other
load in the city. A twenty-passen-
wer auto bus used this road every
hour in the day the past threesea-
sons. A two-horse disc-harrOw,
heavily loaded, was run over this
road from end to end, and made no
more impression upon it than upon
tie concrete crossing at the end.
"Fact No. Il was present
throughout the construction of this
roadway: I reside along side of it,
and am perfectly acquainted with it.
both here and where it has been eX-
tensively used in Massachusetts, and
I pronounce it to be the solution of
the vexing road question in sandy
countries like this.
I furthermore wish to say that the
efforts to discredit the Eustis sand
asphalt road are traceable to two
sources, directly or indirectly: /. To
statesmen, engineers or retained
boosters for brick or concrete con-
q. To honest but misin-
formed persons, who cannot yet I'M
derstand how sand and cement will
build sky-scrapers and sand and as
phalt will build roads, at one-third
the cost of brick. Come to Eustis
and see. Respectfully,
WALTER T. CHISHOLD."
N. B.-Other testimonials will
follow in succeeding issues both with
regard to sand-asphalt and rocmac.

CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH

Every Florida paper that comes to
our notice speaks encouragingly OF
the corn crop in that state. One
farmer in Marion county has 700
acres in corn that promises large
yield. The three Polk county pa
pers that we see regularly speak in
jubilant terms of the acreage and
yield there.
In Georgia the results of diversi-
fled agriculture are referred to in
most optimistic terms. The Indian
corn harvest when made will be
found to be the largest ever gather
in that state, and other crops
than cotton-which also is prom
Using one-will yield large har-
vest.

counsels are worthless in a great ma
tional emergency. Nothing is surer
than that if Roosevelt were presi-
dent he would not advise war with
Germany in this crisis, but being
merely a private citizen, his hot air
has no official weight or significance
and he can indulge himself without
restraint. Its real meaning is that
the jealous soul of Teddy envies the
splendid poise and wisdom and cool
composure of the man at the head
of the government.
