FAVOR USE OF CHURCH
BELLS FOR AMMUNITION

Copenhagen, May I0.-Schleswig
newspapers, commenting on recent
order of the military authorities, say
that it seems that they favor the
wholesale dismantling of church
bells for ammunition purposes. the
order was occasioned by the publica-
ton of a memorandum from the Con-
sistory at Kiel which stated that a
Berlin firm had sent a circular letter
to the German clergy Offering to buy
all the church bells in Germany and
forward them to the army
The general commanding at Bran
denburg Immediately prohibited the
firm from circularizing the clergy
for this purpose, and issued another
circular letter to the clergy warning
them not to deal with private firms
but to apply direct to the army
headquarters.

Gladys Writes
To p. C.'S
Prominent Citizens)

Dear Mr.. Holworthy: l can't un-
derstand why you men are talking
so much about good roads and Just
wasting time that way. / should
think you would just go out and fix
the roads. should think anybody
that sees how bad the roads are
would simply go out and fix all the
roads he had time for, and then we
would soon have them done. asked
Bill Sammon about this and he ex-
planned it to me quite carefully and
said you had to get the consent of
the people, but that sounds SO silly.
II anybody objects to having good
roads, Of course they must have a
good reason, and so how can you tell
that they could ever change their
minds
Bill Sammon and know about the
roads around here. We started to a
picnic last week, and we had to take
the Chero-C. Well, after he began
to lose his temper about the roads
and nearly swore once, / thought of
the Chero-Cola, and whenever l saw
that panied look on his face getting
too intense, I would say, please open
up another bottle of Chero-Cola, "
and that would divert his mind a
little while. If person could drink
too much Chero-Cola, we'd both be
dead. We told them at the picnic
that we forgot to bring it. TRULY
said, "Well, I'll be. how do you
think we can have a picnic without
Chero-Cola?" So you see, 7 needed
one more bottle.
I was glad they hadn't asked us tc
bring sandwiches They said they
wouldn't trust us to bring anything
important after this.
And, / am writing to ask you as
favor to me, If nothing more, tC
please have the roads fixed right
away.
Your True Friend, GLADYS.

Was 1t the Greeks who had a say
ing warning their countrymen to be-
ware of the Trojans when they came
bearing gifts in their hands-or was
1t the other way about? Anyway, it
was pretty sound logic, and it is ca
pable of a broader application today,
inasmuch as it is not too much to
say that we should look closely into
the motives of anybody that gives US
something for nothing. A case in
point is the free plate" game that
is being worked by certain interests.
This paper is repeatedly offered vari-
Gus free services''-that is, articles
set up and ready to print-and to
many papers this forms an attractive
proposition, saving the cost and la
Dor of considerable type-setting. In
variably these articles, though their
purpose is cleverly disguised, are for
the purpose Of creating sentiment
favorable to some scheme, legislation
or condition desired by the parties
who, in the background are footing
the bills. We note several otherwise
carefully edited papers printing much
Of this free stuff cunningly devised t.
align the people on the side of the
RAILROADS in their conflict with EN-
. ployes as to wages and hours. w,

would warn other papers who ma,
not have looked closely into the mat
ter to read the "free plate" they ar,
printing and see If 1t expresses theii
views.

IRISH EXPORTS HAVE
INCREASED ON ACCOUNT
OF THE WAR
CBy Associated PressJ


Dublin. Ireland, May l0.-lrish
exports have increased considerably
IN account of the war. The official
returns lust completed for the year
1914 show a total of 77,3Oo,Voo
pounds, an increase of three ana
half million pounds over 1913. Ine
increase is due almost entirely to the
shipbuilding at Belfast.
II is a curious feature OF the re-
port that although 81 per cent OF
the Irish exports are represented Dy
farm produce and foodstuffs, 81 per
cent Of Ireland's 100000 pounds
of import should be food, and the
department of agriculture comments
pointedly on the fact that food
producing country should be annual
Nv importing great quantities OF farm
produce, much of which is admir-
ably suited for raising at home.
'On the whole the report is regard
ed as a gratifying record of con-
tinued progress in ireland. In addl-
ton to the increase in exports, the
decade has also witnessed an in
crease of imports by 35 per cent IN
value and ~ per cent in bulk. The
total imports and exports of Ireland
in fact, now represent higher per
capita value than the average for
the United Kingdom, the unlteo
States. France or Germany.

Of the Polk County Good Roads Asso-

outlook for the carrying of the mil
lion and a half dollar bond issue to
build the sand-asphalt roads in that
county.
In speaking of the outlook Manager
Pope said: 1.-The bond issue will
carry without doubt have just made

been met and overcome and from now
on there will be no "ifs" or lands"
about it.

of that I am certain, but we will not
go to sleep on the job for a minute
and will keep up the fight until the
last vote is polled on election day.
We are going to win but we want to
win by such a big majority that we
can show the state that Polk county
will not only keep step with any other
county in the state. but take a step
ahead.
I'VE have the most complete and
smoothest working organization be-
hind this movement, in the South. We
went into this thing to win and we
will win. The road system we have
outlined is the best that could be de-
vised for any county, and the best in
the state, bar none.
an the first place it will mean
more than a million and a quarter OF
dollars worth of advertising. 1t will
quadruple the population of Polk
county in less than ten years. Land
values will double and treble and life
will be worth living in the richest
county of diversified interest in the
South
Every progressive business man
banker, merchant, citrus and truck
grower, cattle man and real estate
dealer is for the bond issue, knowing
that 1t means increased prosperity fol
