Wauchula Advocate - Yester-
days Tampa Tribune carried the
following headline over a Punta
Gorda date line: "Punta Gorda
Making Great Improvements.
We have wondered why Punta
Gorda with its beautiful water
front and fertile soil was not one
of the best and most prosperous
towns in Florida, and after visit
fling that city and mingling with
its citizens we have concluded that
the only reason was the lack OF
unity among its own people. II

lay aside petty jealousy and strife
and work together it will become

with petty factional strife can

The directory will contain the
names of every wholesaler i'm the

the exact nature of the stock that
each carries. IL will be distributed

suggested that each wholesaler send

Every salesman that makes his
headquarters in South Bend will
carry a directory In case he has

recommend a local firm that does.
This action. insofar as it will be reel
procal on the part Of the South

increase in local business. There
was no question about the utility and
possibilities of this plan. and the

DR.. GAMMACK NOW IN
ENGLISH ARMY SERVICE


DR.. p. F. Gammack, one OF South
Bends prominent physicians who
left some time ago for r rope, has
recently been attached to the
southern command Of the British
army. He had a number Of inter
esting experiences while crossing the
Atlantic which he tells in a letter.
In part he said:
when the Titanic was sunk there
were on board two members of the
order of Elks. Both men were
drowned. so their lodges sent two
wreathes 10 our captain. asking him
20 throw them overheard on Me
mortal day just where we passed
the spot where the Titanic went
down We did not leave New York
as soon as we should so We could
not reach the exact spot on Me-
mortal day. but at 10 minutes TO I
o'clock on Wednesday morning the
wreathes We're thrown overheard
from the bridge. one on each side
of the ship. Some of us stayed up
20 see it done
Speaking Of the feeling shown by
the passengers he said: There is
no alarm on board. but it is unde-
uiable that there is a distinct un-
dercurrent Of anxiety. and Of course
ii could not be otherwise. The pre-
cautions are exact. In the afternoon
the whistle blew and each man,
woman and child appeared in the
saloon wearing his or her lifebelt
and all were instructed as TO what
TO do in case OF danger. Then all
were taken out on deck. and each
was assigned his place in a lifeboat
1t was rather interesting and rather
significant of the times Each day
at o'clock there is the boat drill
and each passenger has 10 parade
With his lifebelt on and take his
place beside the boat to which ne
has been assigned. No one is alarm
ed, but it is undeniahle that there
is a strong undercurrent of anxiety
everywhere. The out-swung boats
are mute but eloquent reminders
that trouble is not impossible. 1t
is remarkable that three-fourths of
all the passengers are women"
In the last day Of the Voyage DR.
GammaCk writes:
1t was glorious this morning 10
see. the destrOyers come out Of the
fog like ghosts have look AT us.
and then disappear like phantoms.
As the day cleared. 1 stood on deck
and saw ireland on the left and

Which Defed
4 Submarine to be
Shown Here Sunday

The "Falaba Bible" "A Bible that
was enroute from the United States
10 Africa on the steamship Falaba
that was sunk by a submarine, Will
be on exhibition at Hope Presby-
terrain chapel Sunday morning and
evening.
The Bible was thrown out of its
torn express bag by the explosion
and washed ashore weeks later. 1t
was being shipped from "a firm in
Chicago 10 purchaser in Africa.
The explosion of the torpedo ripped
the bag open and threw the Bible
far enough from the vortex of the
sinking ship that il was not drawn
down. Still carrying its original
wrappings il washed ashore on the
coast of England some weeks later,
and from there returned TO the
shipper in Chicago from where il
was obtained for the purpose Of ex-
hibition here by interested persons
at Hope church.
Although the Bible was much bat
tered by flashing against the rocks
and considerably stained by the wa
tiers of the Atlantic ocean. it is still
easily readable. IL is doubtful if
there is another Bible in existence
that has had "a more romantic eN-
perience than this one which has
been recently known as the Bible
which detied a submarine"
The program at the church will
also he varied Sunday morning TO
include "a sermOnette TO children.
