That the reputation of Polk county
is at stake, and that the progressive
ness of her people will be judged by
the outside world by their action on
the proposed bond issue for good
roads, is indicated by references to
the project in many papers both in
side of Florida and outside of the
State. The following from the Ar
cadia News illustrates the way the
matter is being viewed by competent
and disinterested parties, who GER
tainly have no axe to grind, and are
surely as worthy of confidence and
credence as the man who is "agin"
the bonds, without being able to give
a logical reason therefor. The Area
dia News gives its view of the matter
as follows:
All eyes are now turned towards
Polk county, that is shortly to vote
on a bond issue for the purpose of
building 225 miles of good roads.
What you do, good people of Polk,
will not only affect you, but will also
be an influence for good or bad to
your neighbors, Do your full duty.
Good roads are an absolute neces-
sity, and positively the only way to
have them is by bond issue. What
ever others may say to you, good
roads are the very best of invest
ments and not cost. The question
admits of no argument. Quit YOU
like men,"

REVIVAL OF AMER
ICAN sHIPBUILDING

Only the happiest conclusions can
be drawn from the activity now pre-
vailing in American shipyards. 1t
gives the same promise to develop
ment of foreign commerce that the
building of the early middle west
railroads did to the unprecedented
development of that section, and still
later to that which followed their
extension on to the Pacific.
| The following statements are TAX
en- from long presentation of the
subject by the New York Journal of
Commerce, a publication Of marked
conservativeness and a recognized
authority on financial matters:
Steel mills in the past few days
have taken orders for 10000 tons
steel plate bars and shapes from
shipbuilders on the Atlantic coast,
who have just accepted orders for
seven more steamers which are TO be
delivered in the last half of 1917.
Although full details as to the pur-
chasers have not become available,
it is learned that three of the yes
sells are for the account of Norwegian
owners. A surprising development in
connection with the contracting for
these vessels is that the purchasers
have agreed to accept delivery in the
last half of 1917, thus showing their
faith in the continuance of abnormal
shipping conditions for some time to
come, even in the event of the war
being terminated this summer. Be
fore the war shipping tonnage could
be constructed at about $37 d ton,
while now increased cost of steel and
labor and the enhanced value of
ocean tonnage has brought the price
up to $3.50 a ton. Thus, prospective
buyers of steamships who are ar
vessels that will not be de-
livered until late in 1917 must be
assured of operating their vessels at
high freight rates, otherwise the ex-
ceSsive cost of construction would
prove a drawback to her profitable
operation.
At various New England seaports
ship building plants are being resur-
rected while along the South Allan
tic and at gulf ports ship building
activities have become pronounced.
A revival Of wooden ship building is
also in prospect. Difficulty secur-
ing steel plates and shapes for de-
livery this year has led some ship
ping interests who desire to partake
In the high freight rates now obtaih-
able to build moderate sized vessels
of wood. Steamers up to 1900 tons
capacity are now under discussion
between shipping interests and
builders at eastern ports who, years
ago, specialized in the construction
OF wooden schooners. The enlarge
ment Of building ways is under pro-
cess in many ports and, although diff
ficulties beset the path of builders in
securing raw materials for construc-
ton, it is hoped to overcome these
troubles by wooden ship construc-
tion.-Jackson (Mich.) Patriot.

The paper manufacturers excused
the tremendous advance in paper or
the ground of shortage of raw ma

government promulgated a notice
asking the people to gather up anC

dous quantities of raw material have
been collected in this way the paper

is evident that like many other in.

fact of the war as an excuse to fleece
the consumer and line their own

Marburg Refused Passport
To Return to Beluian Arrnv

Washington, Nov. 2.-The applica-
tion of Theodore Marburg, jr., son Of
the former minister to Belgium, for a
passport to return to England to re-
join the British aviation corps, mas
been refused by the bureau of citizen
ship and referred to higher officials
of the State department.
Marburg, upon inquiry by the
bureau, admitted he had fought in a
foreign army and planned to return
to resume his post. On that ground,
In conformity with the law of 1906,
the bureau refused the passport and
referred the case.
Secretary Lansing, while refusing
today to discuss the incident, said
that an American who enlists in a
foreign army has forfeited his citi-
zenship. Applicants for passports
must reaffirm their allegiance to the
: United States and state the purpose
OF their trips abroad before a pass
port is granted.
Marburg lost leg while flying with
the British army in France, and
planned to return to England as an
instructor in the aviation corps.

Foot Ball Teams
Come to Front

New York, Nov. 2.--As a result of
the heavy scoring in number of
foot, ball games last Saturday, the
leadership in the struggle for indt
yidual and team scoring honors shows
some remarkable changes. Southern
and western elevens have wrested the
premier positions from eastern in the
total point competition, while a west
,ern player, now aat tie United States
Military academy, heads the list Of
star individual performers.
Oliphant of the Army team, with
ten touchdowns, seventeen goals and
one field goal has amassed eighty
points, while Gerrish, last weeks
leader, has fallen to second place,
with seven points lesss Cofall
of Notre Dame is third with fifty
eight, and McCreigh of Washington
and Jefferson fourth with ffty-seven,
Devitalis of Brown is the best of the
eastern scorers, with Captain Mueller
of Cornell close second.
Georgia Technical has collected 309
points in FIVE games, which give the
southerners a big lead over Mime
sofa, in second place with 236. Van
derbilt is third, one point below
Minnesota. Penn State and Syracuse
are the two eastern teams to pass the
200 mark. A number of other elevens
are closely punched between 1874 and
100 points, and the contests of the
coming weekend are likely to de-
velop further changes in the standing
of the teams. Holders of runs-fog-
touchdowns record include Moss Of
Rennsaelar, 100 yards; Oliphant
Army, &c yards; Beck, Penn State, 95
yards, and his team mate, Robb, with
