ENTER THE
CAMPAIGN
Expects to Get Into Action
October %, Opening
at Ardock

United States Senator A. J. Gronna
of Lakota. who has been busy cam
paigning for Senator Bob LaFollette
throughout Wisconsin, will take the
stump in this state Oct %, in behalf
Of Senator McCumber, and Judge
Hughes, it was announced at Republ-
can headquarters today.
The senator is in good speaking
trim, say his friends, and has been
meeting with warm enthusiasm in his
Wisconsin addresses. His speeches
have dealt with Hughes record as
governor of New York, In which the
latter proved himself the champion
OF public rights against private
privilege and LaFollette senate and
state records. In his North Dakota
campaign, Senator Gronna will carry
his fight into the record Of President
Wilson, and his close alliance with the
munition makers, whom the senator
declares are financing the Wilson cam
paign, and he will devote a large part
of his time to the support Of Senator
McCumber.
Senator Gronna has been booked
from Oct. % until the end Of the
campaign, and he will open at Ardoch.
I'm trying to place our speakers so
that every community can have an
| opportunity to hear some Of the best,
it has been difficult at times to reach
all the smaller places" said Chairman
Lemke 1--WE are placing Senator
Gronna so that he can reach a number
of these, although his route will of
course take him to some of the largest
| towns and county seats. From Wis
consin headquarters we have word
that our North Dakota senator has
been proving himself strong factor
in the race, and there is no doubt but
he will bring to the farmers and
townspeople of his home state a mes
sage full of inside information, and
facts that they will be glad to hear

THE STRAND

Charles Ray, who Is starred in The
Deserter, at the Strand, is one of the
newcomers to the Triangle galaxy.
He was born in Jacksonville, Ill. When
he was ready to attend school, his
parents moved to Springfield, Wnere
he went through grammar classes.
Then for three years, he lived on the
desert of Arizona, at the end of which
time he went to Los Angeles and at

actor, so, after taking a business
course to please his father, he allied
himself with several successive nusi-
cal and dramatic companies on tour

THE GARRICK

The Combat, conforms to all Of the
we'll known rules of a good, acceptable
melodrama. 1t has an intricate well
worked out plot, the action is excit-
ing, the interest well sustained, and
the suspense we'll carried out. 1t de-
pends entirely on the interest created
by the plot action rather than upon
character development for its success
and this is as 1t should be in an Of
fering of this kind.
In order to obtain a purely inciden-
tai effect, a fast moving railroad train
was made to jump the track and be-
come wrecked in the ditch. This big
scene is used merely as an incident.
Another good effect Is the battle of
conscience in one Of the leading char
acters The story is gripping, not a
part is lacking in exciting and dra-
matte incidents. The Combat is show
ing at the Garrick today and tomor-
row.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. IS. - That the
industrial workers of the world are
not through with their Mesaba range
program is vouched for by Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn Of New York, who ar
rived here to address gathering of
Swedish Socialists last night. Miss
Flynn will go to the Range today.
Our work in this part of Minneso-
ia really just has started" said Miss
Flynn. I'VE are not only going to
continue work among the miners. but
will devote much time to the organiza-
ton OF the men who work in the
woods. l believe that this is a rich
field-the lumberjacks have no organi-
cation. 1t will be our aim to get them
good wages and have them live under
sanitary conditions-somethin they
have not had in the past"
Miss Flynn stated that many I. w.
w. missionaries would be kept work
ing in the north continually and that
many speakers would be brought here
to talk to the workers: She reiterated
that Miss Helen Keller and Frank P.
Walsh would be here shortly.

Seven Burned to
Death in New York
Fire Late Tuesday

New York, Oct. 1S.-Seven persons
were burned to death and two others
who are missing are feared to have lost
their lives in a fire which destroyed
two factories in the manufacturing
section Of Queensborough late yester-
day with a material loss estimated at
$3.50, 900.
The charred bodies were not found
until the flames had been extinguished
and firemen had poured water into the
ruins of the buildings.
The fire started among chemicals on
the first floor of the Oakes building and
spread with such rapidity that the Of
flee force was trapped on the second
| floor.
In addition to the Office building
five one-story, storage buildings of the
Oakes company were destroyed. From
these buildings, the fire spread to the
Astoria Veneer mill and lumber yards,
where many thousands OF feet of lum-
ber was destroyed.
| The police have learned that an
electrician at work on the first floor of
the dye-making plant, dropped a lad
der, which struck jar containing
chemicals which burst into flames.

DO You Know the
Mdrvels OF Psychic Power?

If you had told your grandfather fifty years ago
that with X-ray the human skeleton could be
seen in living body, he would have considered
you mildly crazy.
If you hnd told him that men would ever talk
through the air, their winged words flying across
the trackless sea, he would have thought you q
raving lunatic. '.,
Yet today we can see through walls, and our
messages beat back and forth in the air to tho
far corners Of the earth.
The world stands today on the outer edge Of
the sea of knowledge.
We are merely beginning to understand tho
tremendous influence of psychic force-or mind
power-with it's influence for good or evil.
A few men, endowed with finely critical, scien-
tifc minds, are spending their lives in nvestgat-
ing psychic phenomena, with all its puzzles of
sprit-rapping, telopathy, personal magnetism,
and naturalization.
Such man is Hereward Darlington who, in
collaboration with Charles w. Goddard, has writ
ten "The Mysteries Of Myra."
Mr. Darlington is the worlds greatest authority
on ychic phenomena. In this great motion pic
ture drama he tells you all he has learned in his
lifetime of investigation.
The drama has been produced under the direc-
ton of Theodore and Leo Wharton, the most re-
nowned directors Of motion picture plays in the
world. e,,

And the battle begins-without
spoken word. Plot meets counterpart,
and Evil, reaching from afar through
the velvet darkness, touches the COOL
strong hand of Love raised like wall.
This gripping story-in which the
deadly power of the mysterious and
unseen is brought to lights depicted
in this great motion picture drama.
Every episode startles, and attracts, and
mystiGes, until the dramatic and stirring
end.

Big Development at Murdoch

The Southern Investment Co.
will put in 100 acres in a demon
stration farm on each side of the
Tamiami Trail. This work is to
begin at once. The Tamiami Trail
runs through a rich belt of land
in the Murdoch drainage district.
This Company owns 5000 acres of
land in the district. The Com
pany is to be congratulated in TAX
ing the lead in development in
South Florida.
j. +. Bowdoin of Murdoch
is to superintend this demonstra-
ton farm. Mr.. Bowdoin is a prac-
teal farmer, stock, and real es-
tate man.
1t will be remembered that his
name appeared among those that
carried off first and second prizes
from the DeSoto County fair, and
he is now putting them on notice
that he will be with them this fall
Mr.. Bowdoin is a booster of
good roads. He was the first to
suggest the building of the bridge
across Peace River from Punta
Gorda to Charlotte Harbor and
worked up the connection of the
Tamiami Trail over this route.
He thinks that anyone that is not
a booster for good roads and gen
eral improvements of the county,
should take a back seat and keep
quiet. Subscriber.

Infantile Paralysis

The epidemic Of infantilc par
.alysis, which is prevailing so al
.armingly in New York, has caus-
ed fear through the entire count
ny, which varies in degree in in
verse proportion to the distance
from the center of infection. 1t
has produced a condition of anxi-
ETY. in Florida that has not been
paralleled in many years,
For several reasons it is the
part of wisdom that every state
and section should guard against
its possible coming, however re-
mote that possibility may be. 1t
i'll disease that is not wholly I'M
derstood by the medical profes-
sion, and this mystery seems to
complicate the menace. The dis
ease appears 10 be slow, cOmpar-
ed with other infections, in its
development, and the patient may
travel far before the disease may
reach its diagnosablc stage. 1t is
but natural that families with
children in the infected city, in
face of the prevailing disease,
should fly from the pestilence
scattering it 20 every part OF the
country.
In view of these facts, the
State Board Of Health, cooperat-
ing with the health boards in the
various cities of Florida, at the
first warning Of danger, prepared
to resist the incoming to the state
of this disease. These efforts at
protection have been concentrat.

Another Florida Resource

Referring to the Portland ce-
ment plant recently established at
Houston, Tex, by the Texas Port
land Cement Co., the United Stat
es Geological Survey calls atten-
ton to the fact that this plant is
to use as it's raw material oyster
shells dredged from reef in Gal
weston Bay and clay from Hous-
ton, Tex, and that, as it is on
tidewater, efforts will be made to
establish for it an export trade
with South America.
Along portions of the east coast
of Florida there are oyster beds
or reefs which apparently are al
most endless in extent. If the feas-
ibility of using these oyster shells
for the manufacture of Portland
cement has never been investigat-
ed, consideration might be given
to the matter by the establishment
Of the Houston plant. Florida is
a large user Of cement, all of
which is now shipped from other
sections to that state, and the in
vestigation of the possibilities of
concentrating in Florida might
develop an interesting situation.

Life On The Florida Keys

Poets have woven into undyine

upon immortal canvas the glorieS
of southern Italy. Its romance and
its charm have been theme OF
bard and subject of artist for CEN
turtles.
But with all that may be said
of Italy and her climate, her yari-
colored skies and opalescent wa
tors, can they truly compare with
the beauties of the semitroplc
Florida keys along our Gulf
shore? Thousands of Americans
who have toured Europe until lit
tie remained for them to see have
returned to Florida, and they are
entranced over the Gulf coast and
its beautiful islands.
Kissed by the warm sunshine OF
winter, famed by gentle and
warm breezes in winter and cool
breczes in the summertime; sur
rounded by waters that reflect ey-
cry glory of the opal; shaded by
palm and myrtle, towering pine
and fragrant cedar, these islands,
many of them of great fertility,
form a chain Of wonderful beauty
along the Gulf shore from Cedar
Key to Key West.
Some day they will be known OF
and advertised from Bangor to

would be taken to prevent the

measure, though it might work
hardship in individual, cases
would still be justified as a pro-

ton to existing conditions, and
asking their earnest cOopera-
ton with the State Board, to keep
control of the situation, by report
ing by telegraph any case or sus-
pected case of the disease.
ESpecian vigilance has been ex-
erciscd at Jacksonville, as
through this gateway to Florida a
large portion of travel to the state
finds entrance. The Jacksonville
Board of Health has combined
with the State, Board to inspect
every train entering the city with
passengers from points north of
Georgia. All ships entering the
port are stopped at the Mayport
quarantine and the quarantine
officer makes a careful examina-
TON, submitting his report, so that
when the vessel reaches the termi-
nal at Jacksonville, the health au-
thorities are forewarned and pre-
pared to act.
This inspection of trains and
vessels, however, is confined to the
examination of children under
six years of age. On arrival of
trains from the North, passengers
who have young children in their
charge, are required to remain in
their places until the appearance
of a physician and professional
nurse. who are assigned to the
work. A brief but searching ex-
animation is made; the tempera-
turo of all young children is taken
and their general physical condi-
ton is noted, and within few
moments the party is released, if
no suspicious conditions are dis
covered.
Nm case a child is found with a
temperature above normal, the
name and address in jacksonville
are taken and the case is kept I'M
der observation for further devel-
opments. If the destination is be-
yonR Jacksonville in any part of
of the State or Cuba, the name,
time of probable arrival at deesti-
nation and other conditions are
noted and wired tc the represent
tative of the health board at such
destination, with instructions to
keep the cast under observation.
lnasmuch as through travel
parties with young children from
the North to Florida and southern
points, is comparatively light dur
ing the summer months, the delay
for examination is usually short,
but in Ito respect is the vigilance
of the physicians and nurses re-
Taxed.
Should positive case of infan-
tile paralysis be discovered by this
inspection, it would be promptly
isolated in Jacksonville no matter
what might be the intended des-
