LAKE LARGO O|SCT.
IS BEING PUSHED
TO COMPLETION
WORK STARTED ON CONSTR UC-
TION OF THE BRIDGE ACROSS
+ FOUR MILE BAYOU

All the work which is to be done by
the dredges west of the railroad
tracks has been done. There is still
a great deal of finishing work to be
done and this will be carried out by
crews of men.
The dredges are now side by side
and working their way to the lake.
If there are no unforeseen delays the
canal into the lake should be done in
two weeks. This Lake Largo canal
has been the most difficult piece of
work in the entire district, the roots
of oak, hickory and many other va
rieties of trees being interviewer in a
thick mat. Work started last Mon
day on the actual construction Of the
bridge across the bayou on the Ul-
merton road. AS the county has re-
fused to help the district in the con-
struction of this bridge it will not be
possible to have the artistic structure
for which the plans had been drawn
some months ago and the district will
therefore replace the old half-rotten
structure by a substantial wood
bridge. The board of supervisors did
not feel that the district was liable for
the construction of any bridges on
county roads and in other counties in
Florida the law has compelled the
county to build all bridges, but rather
than inconvenience the people in the
country by taking this matter to the
courts, it was decided to build these
bridges as the work progresses.
The new tax book containing ..th'
taxes for 1916 was turned over to tht
county collector last Saturday. These
taxes are due November first and be-
come delinquent April 1st. This veal
| a small maintenance tax has been add
led to the regular installment tax. This
maintenance tax is at the rate of @G
of the total benefits assessed. Fol-
instance if the original commissioners
appointed to assess benefits decided
that certain parcel of land would be
benefited to the extent of $3.50 by
reason of the construction of these
bitches, then the tax would be $1.50.
The board of supervisors have under
consideration plan Of having cut
made of the entire plan of reclama-
tion showing the location of all ditch
es. If this can be done for a reasona-
BILE sum the publication will be made
in the near future-Clearwater News

The Halloween committee of the
Parent Teachers association held an
interesting business meeting last
night to take up the bills and count
the receipts of the Halloween carni-
val.
The checking up showed balance of
$42.45 in the clear to go into the treas
ury of the association, and all of the
committee expressed themselves as
delighted with the outcome.
In this connection, the president of
the Parent-Teachers' association de-
sires, on behalf of the association, to
thank everyone who in any way, par
ticipated in the carnival, for his or her
part in making it so splendid sue
cess. Especial thanks are due to the
Halloween committee, of which Prof.
Portz was chairman, for their able
handling of the preparations. On their
shoulders We're placed the work and
the responsibility, and they met it no.

Rain A BLESSING
VEGETABLES MOVE;
BERRIES BLOOMING

If there is one class of farmers hap
pier than another in Florida today, it's
the strawberry growers of Plant City
and vicinity. The plants were in a
fair state of thriftiness last week, hut
since the drizzling rains of Saturday
and Sunday the plants have assumed
Teutonic front and it's going to take
all manner of Allies to prevent pro-
duction of a bumper yield. Blooms are
reported by several while others are
just beginning to set plants, thus as
suring long shipping season. The
precipitation amounted to only three
tenths of an inch in two days, but the
sky was cloudy when it wasn't raining,
and as result the water seeped into
the soil, affording maximum benefit.
Vegetables Moving
The movement of vegetables, which
has been on for several weeks, holds
up well. There is no great increase
in number of packages, but prices
range fair to good, and the growers
are satisfied with results so far. Gu
cumbers have been bringing from
$1.50 to 81 on the platform this week,
and in most instances the product was
of the quality to command the 50
figure. Egg plant ranges around S so,
squash, 81, and pepper $1.25. Okra
sells well, the local association getting
returns from a shipment to New
York last week, netting S1.60 the
hamper. These prices have obtained
pretty much all the past week on the
platform, the principal buyers being
Robt Daniels, Louis Rothstein, W. T.
Estep, 7. M. Fox and E. L. House,
secretary to Manager Galyean of the
Plant City Growers association.
Many other we'll known buyers are
noted on the platform daily, but ma
jority of them are laying off" await
ing the spring movement.
Setting Cabbage Plants
Since the light rains, setting of cab
bage plants has been on in earnest,
and shipments of plants to other
points has been quite heavy veral
days. Many are still planting seed,
the Kilgore Seed company having
sold forty pounds of fifty-pound lot
received yesterday morning. These
seed were seold locally, and from what
can be ascertained the acreage Will
likely be double that of last year.
Planting of peas is also under way

FOUND A TRUE
BILL AGAINST
JOHN |. BRANCH

John L. Branch, county tax collec-
tor of Hillsboro county, who was sus-
pended by Governor Trammell Octo-
ber IA, was indicted by the grand jury
before it adjourned yesterday on ac-
count of the alleged shortage of $685.
O78.29 discovered in his accounts. In
the Indictment it is alleged that the
money was embezzled between No
vember 25, 1915, and October Is, 1916.
This action follows a recent audit by
Assistant State Auditor Mcintosh and
the placing in office of Mr.. Branch's
successor, Theodore Lesley.
The capias was served on Mr..
Branch soon after the indictment vas
found, bond having been named at 3d.
900. No trouble was experienced in
furnishing this sum, and H. L. Knight
and A. ]. Knight signed the bond,
which was approved by Judge F. M.
Robes. During his tenure in Office
Mr.. Branch was under bond of $30, 900.
The case will be tried before the Grim
inal Court of Record. Thomas Palmer
is expected to represent him.
Mr.. Branch was suspended by Gov
errnor Park Trammell October IA.
M. C. Mcintosh, assistant state audi
tor, had spent three weeks on his
books, and had reported to the gov
ernor that he was $S3,257.9S short,
and on this report the order of sus-
pension was issued. Details of the
audit, of transactions involving real
estate owned by Mr.. Branch, and of
trust deed which he made transfer
ring all of his property to the First
Savings & Trust Co., for the benefit
of his creditors, have come out since
the executive order was filed.

PARENT-TEACHERS COMMITTEE
REPORT HALLOWEEN SHOW

bly,, aptly typifying the truth that
responsibility always gravitates tc
the shoulders of those who are strong
enough to bear it"
Prof. Portz is a host in himself, not
only through the school, but in the ac-
tivities of the association, and in all
things pertaining to the welfare Of
our city. In the Halloween prepara-
tions he and his committee were un-
firing.
AS soon as the Halloween prepara-
tions were begun, our city press took
hold with a vim, and the association
appreciates how, almost daily, The
Leader kept the city informed of what
was being done by the committee
Then the city council came nobly to
the assistance of the association, and
that assured success.
Again, because the newspaper world
of South Florida has learned that
what The Leader has to say is worth
while, the neighboring press copied it's
comments on what was in preparation
and thus the outside world knew of it
and planned to come to Tarpor
Springs to participate in it.
Again, the association appreciates
the way in which the business men
the other clubs,-all professions, bus
inesses and organizations caught the
spirit and responded with their con-
tributions and displays. Enough can
not be said in praise of the whole
heartedness with which the people OF
Tarpon Springs worked for it's sue
cess.
Greatly does the association appre-
ciate the services of the home band
and their generous donation to the as
sociation. Many compliments were
passed upon their work, and they
did much to make the evening a sue
cess-perhaps more than they them
selves realize.
The halloween was a magnificent
success, because each and every one
took hold with so hearty a good will
and became vital part of the festiva
in preparation.
And with our thanks we wish to ex
tend to everyone a cordial invitation
to come to our semi-monthly meet
ings, find out what we are doing ant
lend us your counsel and advice.
Our next meeting will be in tn
High school chapel next Thursday a
three p. m. Come and hear the report
and listen to the interesting program
which is being prepared.
Harriet Baker Robinson,
President.

SCHOOL TERMS OF
BOYS AND GIRLS
OF THE SOUTH

In the Education Special of the
Progressive Farmer" for June "a
1916, the editor, Clarence Poe, pre-
sents one of the most fearless, logical,
and eloquent pleas ever made for a
longer school term for the rural chill
dren of the South. His appeal for a
longer school term is of vital interest
to the entire country. 1t is, therefore,
submitted in our nationwide cam
paign for better rural schools. Mr..
Poe declares:
"We must give the boys and girls
of the rural South longer school
terms-and we must do this no matter
what it costs in time, effort or money.
Not only is it true that in no other
section of the United States are the
people doing so little for their boys
and girls as we are doing; not only is
it true that probably no other country
in Christendom except Russia is doing
so little for its boys and girls as we
in the South are doing, but the shame
FIJI fact is that when the writer was in
Japan, he found even that so-called
heather country aroused to the i'm
portance of education and giving its
country boys and girls twice as long
a term as we are giving ours-and
with compulsory attendance.
Simply to stir US up and shame US
into action, we are showing the num-
Der of days schooling received by the
average child in each state in 1910.
We Of the South have made gratifying
progress since then, to be sure, but yet
all too little. Your boys and girls,
kind reader, your boys and girls here
in Florida who were getting only II
days average in 1910, South Cardinals
with so days, Virginia's with So, and
Georgia's with 62-these boys and
girls of ours must face the competi-
tion of boys and girls from Massa-
chusetts who were getting 131 days
average, from Ohio who were getting
113, from Illinois who were getting
108, and from Washington who were
getting 107, and so on down the line
Are you willing simply in order tc
save few pennies to send your boys
and girls out into life less we'll equip
ped than their competitors
"Nor can we lay the flattering unc.
tion to our souls that in proportion t.
our means we of the South are doing
as we'll as people of the other state!
are doing. We are not"

Storing Butter
In the South

Southern creamery butter has about
the same keeping quality in storage
as any other creamery butter of the
same quality. 1t has already been
proved, the department specialists
say, that southern storage butter of
good quality can be marketed in COM
petition with northern and western
cold-storage butter. The lower the
acidity, the better the quality of the
cream used, and the higher the quail
ty butter the better it will "hold up"
in storage. 1t is therefore highly de-
sirable that butter for storage be pro-
duced from pasteurized sweet cream.
The use of very sour, old cream with
a high acid content is very undesira-
bic, as the butter made from such
cream is likely to develop "off" fla
vors after it has been in storage few
weeks.
An attractive appearance is neces-
sary if the butter is to be marketed
successfully. Specialists of the de-
partment, therefore, advise the prep
aration of the package goods in we'll
nodded, carefully wrapped prints, in
air-tight cartons.
In putting up tub butter, it is point
ed out, bright, clean tubs should be
used. The tubs should be paraffined
on the inside and lined with parch-
ment liners made for the purpose. The
liner should be carefully placed so that
when the tub is filled it will fold over
the butter about an inch. A circle
should be put in the bottom of the tub
and another on top. If cloth circle
is used on top, it should be moistened
with water after it is applied, so that
it will stick to the butter. A small
handful of salt should be sprinkleo
over the upper circle and the cover
fastened with four tub fasteners
which should be doubled tackled al
each end. The tubs should be KEEP
clean and under proper refrigeration
both at the creamery and in transit.

WAR FRONTS
MORE QUIET
THAN USUAL

Violent fighting continues to mark
the Austro- German attempts to pene-
trate. the plain of Rumania south of
Kronstadt and Hermanstadt and TO-
ward Bucharest. The stiff defense CT
the Roumanians is yielding slowly to
the blows of the Austro- German artil-
lery and infantry about Predal and
Berlin announces further progress
south of the border for them.
East of Predeal, however, the Ru-
manians advancing in the BuZeu val
lev have driven the invaders back over
the frontier in the region of Table
Butzi. They also have taken Mount
Siriul and Taturamia, along the Tran
sylvanian border southeast of Kron-
stadt. South of Hermannstadt in the
region of Rothenthurm pass the Aus
tro- Germans have extended their lines
and captured an additional $50 prison.
ers. West of Rothenthurm and in the
Prahova valley the Rumanians are
holding their ground.
On the eastern front fighting has
taken place east of Kovel, in Volhynia
and southeast of Lemberg, in Galicia
Berlin announces the repulse of sever
Russian attacks against the Austro
German positions on the left bank Of
the Narayuvka river near Halicz, il
Galicia, while Petrograd says the Rus
slams have reoccupied part of theil
trenches on the west bank of the Stok
hod, in the region of Kiselin, in Vol
hynia. Near Lipnicadolna, in Cali
cit, the Russians have pushed bacl
the Austro- Germans in some places.
There have been no heavy actions
on the Somme front. The Frencl
have made slight gains at Sally an'

Through the secretary of the "Old
Spanish Trail' association, Stewart A..
Leblanc, and other officers of that
body, Tarpon Springs and vicinity
will be brought to the attention of
the tourist and automobile public as
it has never been brought to their no
tice before.
Something like a month ago The
Leader received a request from the
headquarters of the "Old Spanish
Trail" association, at Mobile, asking
for photographs of Tarpon Springs
and vicinity to be used in making cuts
to illustrate articles in motor and
tourist publications published in diff
ferent big cities of the north. This
matter was brought to the notice of
the Board of Trade who went to sleep
on the job. Finally we asked Mr.. j.
C. Beekman to take half day off and
secure these unmounted photographs
and forward them as requested. He
at once "got busy" on the proposition,
collected the photographs and sent
them at the cost of an hour or so of
time and a few cents in postage
stamps; result:-the best and cheap
est advertisement Tarpon Springs ev-
er had.
The secretary of the association, Mr..
LIE Blanc, was not only pleased with
the collection of photographs sent him,
but they were revelation to him. We
republish his letter to Mr.. Beekman
acknowledging the receipt of the pic
lures, and also his letter to the pub

SOME OF US NEED
MENTAL FIXING
ON SEX QUESTIONS

Some of ms need mental readjust-
ment on the question of sex. With
complacency born of dishonest view
point and social deceit, many of US re-
gard women as the protected and fav-
ored sex, and then in the same breath
the man agrees with the Oriental in
thanking God he was not born won
an. His illogic does not extend to
thanks that he has no financial protec-
tion or other favorable opportunities.
His gratitude is merely for unfavored
sex.
Cora Harris, southern writer who
says some very clever things, has this
comment in the Saturday Evening
Post:
"Why should anybody, man or wom-
an, thank God for his or her SEX Is
there any advantage before Him ir
being born a male? l believe there's
plus mark put after every woman's
name in the Book of Life! We have
not fought the wars; or built the cit
les or carried on the Divine business
of amassing wealth in this present
world; but we do keep the faith. What
would happen if all the churches drop
ped out and went into business with
the brethren? The pastors might still
get their salaries, but your missiona-
ry collections would drop two-thirds.' u
