All Eyes Now
Are on Florida

Never before has there been So much
talk of the interest that is manifested
in Florida, of the number Of people
who are coming to see and enjoy, or
of the prosperity that has been enjoy
ed, enabling many to come who night
not otherwise do so. Good advartis-
ing has been done for Florida and it
has attracted much attention, causing
practically all eyes to be turned to-
ward this wonderful state. Every one
who has visited the north brings the
same story of interest and dete1e1ina4
tion to come. There can be no 1oubt
that the state will be crowded that
hotels and boarding houses wi,l' be
taxed to capacity to accommodate the
guests and that houses, laepe and
small, will be in great demar4 It is
the awakening; the people have dis
covered Florida, and the resu'ls will
be astonishing.-Fort Myers Press.

The complete returns of Tarpon

man spent several hours in an auto
this morning going over the country
to the homes of George w. Baker, w.
j. Meyer, inspectors of election in pre-
cinct 25, and H. B. Webster, clerk;
and after talking to each of these gem
tlemen learned that they knew abso-
lutely nothing about the vote in their
precinct and that S. L. Taylor, one of
the inspectors, had left early for
Clearwater with the records. None of
these gentlemen Sc, ID to think that
the voters in precincl 25 had any in
terest in the way their precinct voted
and did not keep record. This was
a display Of marvellous intelligence.
Let US hope that at least the count in
precinct 25 is correct.
The above figures were secured by
phone from Clearwater and st. Pc

Precinct "a of Tarpon Springs had
their votes all counted before nine

SUBMARINE AND
DESTROYER IN
DUEL TO DEATH

Rome, Italy, Nov. 8.-(Via Paris).
AN Austrian submarine and an
Italian destroyer were sunk in duel
on the night of October 16, according
to an official statement issued by the
admiralty today. The submarine had
attacked a transport which escaped.
The statement follows:
can Austrian submersible attempt
ed on the night of October 1917 to
torpedo one of our transports convoy
ing troops but was attacked and de-
stroyed by one of our destroyers. The
submersible and the destroyer sank,
while the transport reached its des-
tination safely.
The majority of the crew of the
destroyer were saved and two officers
and eleven men of the crew of the
submarine were made prisoner.
"On the night of November 1, our
destroyers after crossing boldly and
successfully a mine zone and sur
mounting by their daring obstacles

age of part of the Austrian fleet.
Two torpedoes were fired against one
large ship and were observed to catch
in the vessels torpedo net.
"For two hours our destroyers re-
connoitered within a few hundred
yards of the forts and strong citadel
of Pola and only withdrew when they
had accomplished different and most
delicate missions. Numerous powerful
searchlights beat the sky and sea and
batteries opened random and futile
fire.
"On the night of November 3 sew
eral of our destroyers sank large
Austrian steamer anchored at Duraz-
20 under the shelter of defenses and
mine zone. Enemy destroyers came
out and were attacked by our ships
which forced their retreat. Our de-
stroyers then returned safely to their
base. On November 5, three enemy
destroyers appeared at dawn before
Santa Pldiolmare and began to bon-
bard that part of the coast although
no military works are there. One of
our armored trains rushed up, engag
ed and drove off the enemy. Two de-
stroyers were hit, one was seen with
a heavy list being assisted by others.
The enemy fire was ineffective, rail-
road man being slightly wounded and
small damage being done to private
property"

The SOUTH'S
CHILD LABOR
LAW PROBLEM

"a widower's job," is what Owen R.
Lovejoy calls the reason of child la
Dor. Mr.. Lovejoy is general secretary
of the National Child Labor commit
tee, and in an adrdess on the subject
he said:
"None of us quite believe in the or
phan asylum as an ideal place for chill
dren, yet in most states, politically
speaking, all the children are half-or-
phan. In the halls of legislation,
mothers are non-existent, and law
making for children is laboriously car
ried on as a widower's job; therefore
it is poorly baked, mussy, and badly
served.
"It is no answer to this that New
York has a better child-labor law than
Wyoming. That fact is true, and has
been made much of by the opponents
of equal suffrage. But that fact is
insignificant. The significant fact is
that child-labor is known and meas
ured evil in New York state and is
practically unknown in Wyoming. In
New York state there are 10000
working children, in Wyoming less
than 1000. In manufacturing and me-
chanical pursuits, Wyoming has, ac-
cording to the last census, exactly II
children under 16 years. 1t is disin-
genuous to compare states in that
way. The fact is that women do not
vote in North Carolina, South Carroll
ma, Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi.
States that have been dragged in by
the heels during the past month and
forced to a standard of protection
against child-labor by the federal gov
eminent which they were unwilling to
enact for themselves. And let it be
remembered that North Carolina has
more working children than all the
suffrage states combined, including IL
linois.
But the time has come to rally,
whether in states where women vote
or in those where you still contend for
the right of political existence. Such
intelligent interest must be shown in
the welfare of children that no one
can doubt that when the American
mother gets the vote the American
child will get the education"

law, has had a rural school term of
1887 days; the number of pupils at
tending daily in every 100 enrolled
was 90.6. While Oregon's legal school
term was Gil days shorter than that
of Maryland, yet on account of Ore
CONS statewide mandatory compul-
sorry attendance law her actual aver
age rural school term was 1915 days,
or 1873 days longer than Maryland's
actual average rural school term.
However, the last session of the gen

statewide mandatory school attend

will "put Maryland straight on this

Stephens again.

the fire was the malicious act of an

The authorities here were promptly

Through Belgian newspaper pub
lished in Detroit, Mich, and friends in
Elfess, Fla, Mrs. William A. Casey of
New Port Richey, has received the
first information from her relatives
in Belgium which she has had since
the beginning of the European war.
A brother of Mrs. Casey, Lieutenant
Maurice Casteleyn of the Belgian
army, in hopes of locating his sister
who he knew formerly lived in De-

Mrs. Casey since coming to New Port

brothers letter which was written last
August and which just appeared il
the paper and hastened to bring the
glad news to Mrs. Casey.
| About seven years ago, Mrs. Casey
then young girl of thirteen, having
lost her mother by death, came to Am
erica with her father and located in
Michigan. In Belgium were several
older brothers and sisters and two
younger sisters. After her marriage
Mrs. Casey came to New Port Richey
and since the beginning of the war
has been able to find no trace of her
family. The last heard from her
father he was expecting to return to
Belgium to join the army of his ma
tive country. Having changed her
name and moved to a distant state ii
was by mere chance that the brothers
letter was brought to her attention.
The brother gave an account of the
other brothers and sisters, all of whom
are living, and stated that if this let

sister Photographs of the family
would be sent. He also stated that the
hearts of the Belgian people are full
of love for Americans from whom as
