who are only teo anxious to learn
where they can buy just what Tarpon
Springs has to sell?
This stock of goods was placed on
the shelves of the city's store for the
purpose Of selling. Every customer
who learns of them and purchases be-
comes citizen and thereby attracts
ether customers. 1t is human nature
to follow the crowds, and when Tar
pom Springs finds ways and means OF
letting the outside world know what
she has in her store the crowds VIII
fock here like they did to the Klon-
DIXIE during the first years of the gold
fever.
Just this morning we learned of a
nan who has been in Tarpon several
days. He came from Duluth. He made
up his mind to seek warmer climate
and he had heard of Florida. He pack
ed his grip and set out, but he had no
idea what part of Florida he would
like best except that he had read OF
Jacksonville, st. Augustine and the
east coast, and Tampa and st. Peters
burg on the west coast. He had not
decided which of these places he would
so to. He made the acquaintance Of
g. fellow passenger, travelling mar,
while on the way and stated that he
was "going to Florida" "What part
ef Florida 2" he was asked. The gem
tleman from Duluth did not know and
the travelling man told him that he
had read descriptive story of Tarpop
Springs which was printed in The
Leader, and that while he considered
the illustrations beautiful he thought
more of the description of what was In
Tarpon Springs and that he was stop
ping off in Georgia but intended to
make a trip to Tarpon later. The gen
tleman from Duluth then asked How
do you get to Tarpon Springs ~ and
was told that he would havesto inquire
at Jacksonville. This he did and he

P|NELLAS COUNTY
ROAD PROGRESS

The work of paving the Safety
Harbor road has been held back by the
non-arrival of brick. The road is COM
pleted as far as the Saddler Hill and
a gang of men are working on the
culverts, where the wooden structures
are being replaced with cement cul-
verts.
If the brick arrives soon it is believ
ed that the road can be finished by
December 1. The Largo road is now
closed and a gang of men are laying
the curbing and preparing for the
brick paving. The Belleview road IS
almost completed. A part of it is be-
ing used, and the whole OF it will be
open by the first of DecemberGleac-

these alleged contracts for county

TO OUR HONORABLE, CITY COUNCIL

them. What we are saying is said
foi the purpose of showing the people
that they cannot expect body of bus
mess men who act as directors of the
city's affairs and on whose shoulders
the destinies of the city rests, to give
the time from their own business
which is necessary for the best inter
ests of the city, but we do believe that
they have the authority to employ
men of ability to perform this labor
and levy sufficient taxes to pay for
having the city's opportunities grasp
ed and thereby building up a greater
and better Tarpon Springs, and re-
fiecting much credit on the ability Of
our council besides bringing great
good to all who are interested in the
city's welfare.
As The Leader sees it the city coun-
ell is in the same position as the man.
ager of'a big corporation of any kind,
say merchant, who has stocked up a
big store, with the best and most at
tractive goods and then sat down and
made little or no effort to induce pur-
ckasers to come and buy the goods.
The city has spent hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars in good goods which
it has placed in its store. 1t has put
in a fine water plant, one of the best
in the state; it has water second to
no other city; it has purchased great
quantities of paved streets to add. to
its stock; it has acquired a lighting
system and sewerage system which
greatly add to the attractiveness of its
store; it has scenic beauty spots which
no other city has; it is the prettiest
and best located city in the state to
which it added these hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of artifi-
cia1 improvements-and then they
have sat down on the job and waited
fer detectives with blood hounds to
find where they have stored all these
goods. Only once in while some de-
tective or prospector stumbles over
this beautiful store with it's magnifi-
cent and attractive supply Of goods
goods which would go like hot cross
buns on cold day to bunch of school
children, if their location were only
known.
And why is this the case Why is
it that the business managers of the
city have not hunted up purchasers
The evening leader., 1916-11-18

We are all familiar with the story
of William Randolph Hearst, of how.
as an inexperienced youth he came in
to control of a big newspaper and a
large sum of money. The question
asked by. all who knew him was
"What will he do with it," Young
and inexperienced, and yet no fool,
Hearst realized that he needed men
of brains to direct his destinies. He
realized his limitations and SO he en-
ployed smarter men, men with ideas,
men with initiative ability and we all
know what Hearst has done and what
he is today. He directs a chain of
great newspapers and magazines, He
is man with whom all political par
ties have to reckon. His original cap
ital has doubled, tripled and quadru-
pied. In other words Hearst has made
good for Hearst. And his great sue
cess was achieved because he employ
ed men of expert ability to find ways
and means Of doing the things which
he desired to have done. Hearst as a
manager Of his great industries is a
success.
Well and good, SO far. Now the
question before the people of Tarpon
Springs (and when we say "the peo-
pie" we mean the property owners,
the manufacturers, the storekeepers,
the men who conduct business and EN-
rloy labor, for they are the heart and
soul Of any community is, WHO d.
RECTS THE DESTINY OF OUR
CITY? Who manages the city's busi-
ness? On whom does the decisions of
what is right and best fall?
We believe it is the city council who
deserves the praise and commentator
for devising ways and means for fl
nancing, building and securing indus
tries, new settlers, new citizens.
We believe if the city fails to get
these new settlers, these new citizens,
and fails to secure new industries that
it is negligence or inability on the
part of the men who are the business
managers of the city, and as we un-
derstand it the council is the business
manager of any city, and if the coun-
Gil has not the time or inclination to
tive to the vast amount Of work which
is constantly coming up, to attend TO
the cases where immediate action
means big thing for the city, the
council does hold the right and power
to employ men of ability, as did VIII
liam Randolph Hearst, to do what
they are not qualified to do and what
they have not the time to do.
Don't understand us to be CRITICS.
ing our city council just for the sake
of having something to say. We know
every member Of it and they are fine
bunch of men and we personally like
The evening leader., 1916-11-18

The present editor of The Leader
worked in st. Cloud about year and
a half and he knows some of the Sc
crets of how it was built. If the city
council is interested we will tell them
ali we know. We are here to boost
Tarpon Springs and we never intend
TO knock anything except where it is
for the purpose of getting action and
bringing good results to this city and
section.
The councilmen have been appointed
by the people to attend to the business
and direct the destinies of the city.
Have they done all they could with
the the trust imposed upon them or
have they been too conservative to
spend the city's money for the good of
the city?

CHICAGO'S MUNICIPAL
LODGING HOUSE EMPTY

Chicago, Nov. 18.-The municipal
lodging house is empty, although win
try weather has prevailed for nearly
a week.
Itinerants have failed to appear this
wear. it is said, on account of the great
demand for labor throughout the coun-
try.
Owners of cheap lodging houses are
complaining that while ordinarily at
this season their places are filled to
capacity, and they have to turn men
away. at present, despite the cold
snan less than half Of their beds are
being occupied.

PROFIT WITHOUT RISK.

The real-estate agent was driving round town with a prospective buyer and trying to interest him in a cer-- tain Ipiece of land. The agent had shown the same man several pieces of property for sale below current prices, and was beginning to think that he would never buy, no matter how tempting the offer he might make.
 Finally, the agent, exasperated at his clients faultfnding, said to him, Well, MT. Pickering. you don't want to buy anything. don't expect to sell you anything, no matter how good it is or how low the price" I"Fll buy something good. You show me a real bargain, and you can sell it to me- replied Bicker- ing. sF
 T have already shown you half a dozen good bargains. and I don't be lieve you would buy. dead sure cinch for a big immediate profit. I'll prove it to you right now. Here. I'll sell you this silver dollar fo- 95 cents" &
 Pickering took the dollar, exRmin- ed it on both sides, "hefted" it tn his hand, and asked, "Is it a good dol lar 2"
 "Of course it is a good dollar," re- piled the agent. "It's not even scratched, as you can see."
 Well, I hardly think I want it. answered Pickering. .
 ...I'll tell you what I'll do." inter- rupted the agent. "I'll sell you that dollar for 75 cents. There is 33 and one-third per cent. profit for you a tonce." v V Pickering examined the dollar again very closely, sounding it and netting it repeatedly, asked sev- eral more questions, and finally hand ed it back to the agent, saying:
 Well, you can keep this and give me the 25 cents.

KEEPING TOMMY CLEAN.

The consideration of just one an- parently simple problem-the per- sonal cleanliness of the armies is worth a moments attention. 1t is unnecessary to say that it is a matter of supreme importance. The very first step had to be to take over inc whole sanitary arrangements of ev- cry village and town anywhere near the fighting lines, the water-sunnlv sewerage and drainage: an Angean task for the modern Hercules, Rut 1t has been accomplished as the splendid health statistics of the enor- nous semi-stationary armies that flooded into these villages demon- strate. Ambulatory chemical labor atories repeatedly test the source of every water-supply; not pump or tap but has a certificate of some kind attached to it. Ambulatory patho- logical laboratories everywhere pry into the secrets of 'sbug diseases Breweries and factories are comman- deered and converted into public baths. Two thousand Tommies a day are washed in one of these. in patches of 150-at times to the music of Jack Johnsons'' dropping into the water-supply. Tin sheds" have been erected for fitch" treatment a skin disease that has laid up as
 many as 1000 men at a time. Nc happier men exist in France any where than these victims just freed from their tortures. The jolly naked crowds of splendid1y developed fel. lows, singing and shouting in the great baths within hearing of the thunder of the guns, make the mur. der of war seem plain devilish.- Wi. fred T.

THE WORLDS BIGGEST BUSINESS

Bigger than oil! Bigger than steel. Bigger than any other business is the business of Christianizing the world. IndomitabIe perseverance has been an element in this as in every great enterprise Carey worked in India seven years before he made his first convert; Moffett in Beshuanaland, I years. It took 15 years to win the first Zulu. After 20 years of preach ing Gilmour was able to report re- suits in Mongolia. The first half century of work in China brought reward of only 50.converts.
 Throughout the world it. took 90 vaars to win the first million con- verts: 23 years to win the second
 rillion. Converts are now being added at the rate of a million in l2 years.
 Five thousand new converts a month if India! Three thousand week in Korea!
 This is big business! And it is handled in a big way.
 An array of nearly 5o,o0o mis- sionaries is employed. The annual aroount spent by all the mission boards. including Protestant, Catholic .,,d nrivate agencies, is not far from s1OO,O00,000. :, The cost of administration in all this vast enterprise is only about eight per cent. Some boards do even better.
 Resides the making of converts, foreien missions maintain 3O,OOO schools, have one and half million s+rdents under instruction at the 1 present time, give 100000 medical treatments a year.-Willard Price Tn | World Outlook. Iii
