Closer Work For
Boards of Trade
OF SOutS Florida
Suggested by Pres.
of Tampa Board

An organization in the board Of
trade to work with Boards of Trade
from other South Florida cities for
the general good of this section was
suggested by President Gillett of the
Board of Trade in the Board of Gov
errors meeting.
There has been wonderful
awakening of South Florida spirit
in this section of Late" said he.
Every board of trade in this terri
tory seems to be taking on new life
and planning ways to push the in
terests Of this section. Winter Hav-
en-, Plant City, Bradentown, Lake
land, Tarpon Springs are but few
who are asking us to help them with
plans and information. We are do
ing all we can in that way, believing
that in the building up of the Tampa
territory there is most substantial
way of building Tampa.
1T has struck me that if we
could form an association of dele
gates from these boards of trade. say
three men from each board and
could ask them to meet in this city
or in some other city three of four
times a year, good deal could be
done for the general good in the
way of outlining methods of boost
ing this section and in the way of
hearing what others are doing. May
be we can be of some benefit to these
men,"
ut is just possible that some of
them might be able to tell us what
We need" suggested J. A. Griffin,
cashier of the Exchange Bank.
"They can do it, too," said Mr..
Gillett. "Their judgment on the
things that Tampa should do will be
Of much benefit to U.S."
The board of governors decided
. that the idea was a first rate one,
and gave the president and secretary
authority to go ahead and organize
their advisory board.
Mr.. Gillett pointed out that the
board was beseiged with offers to
advertise the city in ways that didn I
seem dignified or best to the board
For instance, we have a gentle
man who wants to walk to San Fran
cisco advertising this city," said
4, Gillett. "All he needs is $3.50 for q
raincoat and hat and he will start
Another gentleman wishes te
travel through the north and cas-,
this summer, attracting capital tt
Tampa
1t was pointed out that the care
of these propositions could be best
be left up to the president and sec
rotary, but that there was no ap
preparation for such Advertising
Tampa Times.

w. C. T. u. Notes
THE COUNTRY READY FOR IT

Interesting, in view of the State
sovereignty argument against a pro-
hibition amendment to the federal
constitution, is the fact that of the
1877 votes in Congress favoring the
Hobson resolution SO were cast by
southern members. Eleven of the
sixteen southern States lined up in
its support, some unanimously, 9TH
ers by a majority vote. OF the 105
representatives from Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana.
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia, GA voted in favor of. "a voted
against, and most of the seven not
voting were paired for the amend
nment. Taking the nation at large,
as represented in the House, the vote
stands thus: Eighteen States solid
ly for the amendment, eight solidly
against it; twelve States a majority
for. nine a majority against.
We believe that a majority vote
of eight in Congress means more
than the guess of the members as to
the opinion of their constituents; we
believe it indicates that the people
of the United States are ready for
national constitutional prohibition I.
We believe with the Chicago Tri-
bune that eff a nation wide vote
upon the manufacture and sale of
liquor were permitted the nation
would prohibit it,"

THE COLLEGE MOVEMENT

An important division OF the tenn
perance army and one which is rap
idly increasing in numbers and eff
ficiency is the intercollegiate Prohi-
bition Association. The national
convention Of this body, held re-
Gently in Topeka, Kansas, is char
acterized the greatest national stu .
dent gathering Of civic character
ever assembled in America. The
keynote Of the convention program
was THE Callenge Of the anti Liquor
movement to the present student
generation" and its slogan, We'll
see this thing through" A nation :.
wide campaign was initiated, the
aim of which Is to enlist college men
and women for active service in the
fight now being waged for national
prohibition. Dozens of college ana
university presidents and many well
known political leaders sent greet
ings to the convention, Secretary Of
State Bryan's being in the form of a
two-page hand-written letter.

HOUR BY HOUR.

One single day
Is not SO much to look upon. There
is some way
or passing hours of such a limit. we
can face
A single day; but place
Too many days before sad eyes
Too many days for smothered signs
And we lose heart,
Just at the start.
God broke our years to hours and
days, that hour by hour
And day by day
Just going on little way,
We might be able all along
To keep quite strong.
Should all the weight of life
BE laid across our shoulders and the
future, rife
With woe and struggle, meet us face
to face
At just one place,
Our feet would stop; and so
God lays little on us every day,
And never, I believe, on all the way
Will burdens bear so deep,
Or pathways lie so threatening and
! so steep.
But we can go, II by Gods power
We only bear the burden of the
| hour.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY

You cannot cure. the demand by
cutting off the supply" says Mr..
Bartholdt of Missouri, known as the
brewers spokesman in Congress. "If
all the liquor in the country were
destroyed the demand would force
men to make their own" Well, at
least the government would be guilt
less. Even If American citizens were
such slaves to drink as Mr.. Bart
holdt would have us believe, we as a
nation would no longer be respon-
sible for the legalized liquor traffic
with all it's ravages and absurdities.
Better have the demand making the
demand.
Mr.. Bartholdt is the man who de-
tends the saloon ION the floor of the
United States Congress) as a place
where a gentleman would not hash
tate to take his wife and daughters"
We wonder how many gentlemen of
his constituency agree with him!

THE GERMAN VIEW.
BY Hugo Won Klest.
q q q q q q u u u

The Chicago election is momen-
to mort for the Wilson administra-
ton. The country has reached the
end of its patience with weakened
sophist in the White House and his
preposterous Secretary of State. We
cannot reverse the policies Of the
spineless Statesmen" whose subser-
vience to cowardice and greed makes
us ashamed of being Americans, but
we can punish them at the polls.
The resentment against the Admins
tration, strong in every section of
the country, is most clearly defined
with Americans of foreign descent +.
The recent full-page appeal signed
by the editors Of publications of
many alien tongues that are spoken
in our country side by side with the
English language, French, Swedish
Polish, Russian and Ihtalian. demon
strates that the severe condemnation
of the attitude of the Wilson admin.
istration on he subject of the ex.
port of arms Is not confirmed to its
German and Irish opponents. Those
of us who have mastered two
tongues and whose horizon stretches
beyond the confines of the United
States realize more fully than Others
that the way of the Wilson Admin
istration is the way to ruin.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE HORSE IN WARFARE

One thing the war has emphasized
and that is that the day Of the horse
has not passed. The Importance of
the horse in warfare is almost as
great today as ever, although the i'm
provements that have been made in
artillery in modern times have tend
ed to lessen the value of all other
branches of the service to more or
less degree. The work Of the cal
vary, however, in scouting expidi-
lions, raids, advance movements,
ETC., cannot be done by any other
branch of the service.
There are sections where the BIZ
cycle, motorcycle and automobile
cannot penetrate.
In the conflict now raging In Eu-
rope the calvary is playing and will
continue to play an important part.
The German Uhlans are doing as i'm
portant work for the Kaiser as they
did for his father in 1870, and
along the so-Austrial and Russo
German frontiers the celebrated
Cossacks are rendering yoeman SER
vice to the Car. The automobile has
simplified the proglem Of transport
ing from place to place the neces-
sary accessories of an army in the
field. But without the horse the ar
tillery would be we'll nigh useless.
That the important role Of the
horse in the present war is recog-
nized by the English government Is
proved by reports that officials have
depleted hunting, polo and hack
stables and have taken everything
answering the requirements for the
calvary and artillery purposes.
Many belonging to Earl Kitchener's
new army will find themselves on
half-breds, three-quarter-breds and
full thoroughbreds. The owners
have not complained, however. and
have the most part been glad to be
able to aid the country's cause.
In the past government recogni-
ton of the Importance Of national
horse breeding for military purposes
has been sought in vain. Indeed, the
agents of Germany, Austria, France
and Belgium have annually taken
from Great Britain the cream OF Its
horsefiesh for the replenishment OF
foreign remount studs and year after
year foreigners have been the CHIEF
purchasers at the Dublin horse
shows.
1t is probable that in future the
British authorities will pay more at
tention to this matter and that tho
British army will be supplied witt
suitable horses before the nations
Of continental Europe are permitted
to enter the field.-Ocala Banner.

PaSS-a-Griue
Getting Ready
For Dentists

St. Petersburg, April 24-The fine
new pavilion that is being built over
the Gulf of Mexico, two hundred
feet from the shore in front of the
new Pass-a-Grille hotel will be form
ally dedicated when the State Dental
Society gathers for their annual
convention on the resort island June
to II, inclusive.
In designing and building the big
pavilion the management had in
mind the accommodating Of state
conventions and like assemblages
where LANCE auditorium space is nee
essary. There is sufficient space to
| handie any ordinary crowd and the
! goOd-slzed stage offers excellent ia
J cIlities tor the showing OF slides and
Ior any like demonstration work, as
| well as serving exceliently in other
Instances where entertainments are
to be given.
The TACT that the pavilion is built
out over the water and is ventilated
from all sides, Will make it especially
fitted for convention purposes. 1t
will be like holding the meeting on
shipboard since the cool gulf breez-
es will insure delightful temperature
at all times.
| The convention headquarters will
be at the Pass-a-Grille hotel. The
annual banquet will be held on the
night of June IL.
DIR. w. X. Bradfield, well known
local dentist is a member of the ex-
ecutive committee and he states that
the plans are progressing smoothly.
There will be in the neighborhood of
200 visitors here during the week
and it is likely that this years af-
fairs will be such as to impress all
with the delights of the Sunshine
City and it's envions. Many speak
ers of national note will speak and
an excellent and instructive program
is being prepared. A strong effort
will be made to bring the convention
here next year also.

Further Details
OF Suicide At
Bradley Junction

The community was shocked this
morning by the news of the death of
Snyder Mills, aged 20 years, who was
born and reared here, young man
OF good family and fine reputation,
at the farm house of his mother,
near this place.
The immediate cause of death is
supposed to have been brought on by
brooding over i'll health, the result
of a shock received some three years
ago from a live electric wire. Since
this occurrence Mr.. Mills has not
been in the best of health, most of
the intervening time being under
medical attention for stomach dis
orders and the fear that cure was
not in any way possible and he SEEM
ed to be brooding over this fact. At
the time that he received this cleo
trio shock he lay for two hours in
water and the dead body of his fav-
orite dog lay along side of him, a
mute evidence of his faithfulness.
But for the dogs life young Snyder
Mills would have died before aid
reached him, which assistance came
two hours after he was felled from
his horse.
Since that time any mention of the
dogs death brought to Snyder Mills
the recollection of the awful day and
its attendant suffering and was no
ticeable to all his friends. Since the
accident Mr.. Mills has not been the
same and this fact was remarked by
his large circle of friends.
Just before the evening or morn
ing of his self-destruction, Snyder
had been talking to his mother.
whose farm he was managing, and
as she had been called to the rear of
the house by some household duty,
he slipped out of the house and as
Mrs. Mills supposed, had gone to his
work about the farm. That night,
Pete Anderson, friend of Snyder
Mills, was asked by Mr.. Mills what
he owed him for the few days work
at the farm and when Mr.. Anderson
stated that the amount of the work
was not of sufficient volume to re-
ceive pay foy, Mr.. Mills handed him
a check for a small amount, remark.

MARKET IRREGULAR
 BUT PRICES GO UP
Prediction of Reaction Checks Advance of COttOn-ClOse at
 10 to Is Point Gain.-COm- mission Houses Buy Heavily.

New York, Sept. 2S-While still higher prices were reached in the cot ton market here today, fluctuations were more irregular and after selling at 12.75c, January contracts closed at 12.64c, with the general list steady at net gain of from 10 to Is points.
 The market opened firm, at an ad- vance of 12 to 20 points on overnight buying orders and renewal of bull support which had the encouragement of relatively firm cables, bullish over night advices from Southrn spot mar kets and apprehensions as to the course of the disturbance reported in the gulf. There was good deal of Liverpool selling here on the differen- ces, while there was also heavy req lizing and prices soon reacted some 10 to IT points from the best, but offer ings were we'll taken at the decline and the market firmed up again on reports that storm warnings had been
 ordered for the Louisiana coast and
 the offer compared with TOP per cent last month.
 Commission houses were credited with buying very heavily during the day, while some of the older bulls were credited with fcial forecast for un- settled weather in the Western belt. This second advance carried October up to 12.25c, December to 12.5Sc and
 March to 13.04c, or 24 to 27 points above last nights closing figures, with the relatively firm ruling of the near
 months suggesting that notices es-
 timated at from 5000 to 10000 bales had been readily absorbed at the pre- vailing differences.
 Demand seemed to slacken some what at the advance, however, and fluctuations during the balance of the day were extremely nervous and ir- regular under more or less general realizing and predictions of reaction in advance of the government reports on Saturday. Closing prices showed setbacks of 10 or 12 points from the best. A private report published dur ing the morning made the condition of the crop 61.9 per cent selling freely for profits. Domestic spinners were reported to be buying spots little more freely, but the demand from that source is still said to be far be- low the normal for this season.

NIGHT BASEBALL IN BROOKLYN

New York, Sept. 29.-"Weather permitting" Washington park, the home of the Brooklyn Federal League baseball team, stages tonight the first game of night baseball ever served up for the enjoyment of the fans of the metropolis. The Brooklyn and Buffalo Feds are to furnish the en- tertainment. A similar venture was launched some years ago by Charles Comisky in Chicago and failed of success. The modern development in lighting facilities, however, are count ed on to aid greatly in the success of the present venture.
