The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1916-12-04

The citrus crop of the entire state
of FLORIDA totals about $6,000,000 an
nually. There is one small city in
California which does 100000 an
nually in eggs and broilers and poul-
try supplies. Twenty years ago that
town had an idea-today it IS the
largest producing city in the
world. Mighty is the hen.
They claim for that California egg
city that it is the logical location for
the business. But it has nothing that
Florida has not. The three great fac
tors for poultry success are a sandy
loan soil, moderate temperatures,
moist sea air-and, of course, we'll
drained land. Next is the market.
Florida has the market as it is nearer
to the center of population, and ii
has Cuba trailing off the southern enc
OF the state. In Florida we are rails
ing the same breed of chickens-whitt
tLeghorns for eggs and plymouth
Rocks for table use.
The average price of eggs at whole
sale in California has been 80 cents
a dozen; at Tampa 35 cents (fresf
country eggs cents higher and prop.
erly balanced ration eggs cents
higher) and in comparison with the
California ration eggs at 80 cents
and ours at 40 cents dozen, the diff
ference is worthy of consideration.
The average price of broilers in that
California egg city has been So pei
dozen; at Tampa, $40. The average
old chickens in California has been
81 dozen; at Tampa $3.50.
These figures are taken from the

SENATOR OWEN
To URGE ELECTION
FUND INQUIRY
CHARGES $1O,OOO,OOO WAS SPENT
ON HUGHES AND DEMANDS TO
KNOW THE CONTRIBUTORS

Washington, Dec. 2.-'The day that
congress meets" said Senator Owen
Of Oklahoma on his arrival here today
81 will introduce a resolution for ar
investigation of the alleged election
frauds in the last campaign.
81 have been told that the republi-
cans spent $10,00O,O0O in an effort to
elect Mr.. Hughes and 1 think the
country should know where the money
came from and how it was expended.
~ will demand that the men in Wall
street, who put up the money and
evaded the campaign publicity act on
technicalities to keep from making
their contributions and distributions
public, be uncovered"
Senator Owen declared that his res
olution will include Senatorial as well
as presidential elections.
81 am convinced that large sums Of
money used in New York, Indiana, H.
llnois, Ohio, West Virginia, Massachu-
sets and other states have not been
accounted for. The present law is
easy to get around and the republic
ans took advantage of all the loop
holes.
"Some of the New York people who
went as far as possible to elect Mr.
Hughes violated the law, and they
should be brought to account. An in.
vestigation by special committee Of
congress will reveal the facts"
Senator Owen will press this bill tc
regulate, control and limit campaign
and other contributions and expendi
lures in connection with presidential
and senatorial elections at the com
ing session of congress.

81 haven't much hope, though that
I'd receive much support if l started
TO make fight for smaller galleries
and no Record, so l won't start it. But
there is hope that the present method
CT taking roll calls will be abolished.
1t is archaic and time waster."
The speaker also favors reducing
the house from 435 to 300 members
and holding it to that number.
Minority Leader Mann today ex-
pressed the view that under no cir
cumstances could the democrats have
a majority in the next house, but that
there was chance for the republicans
to have 218 members. He said he was
not worrying about the speakership,
and thought it would be much more
fun to remain on his present job.

BASKET BALL CLUB
WIN FIFTH GAME

Saturday Sevening the Tarpon
Springs basketball club cut another
notch in their stick where they record
their string of victories, which now
totals five-an unbroken string of de-
feats for their opponents-and they
now have the scalps Of Clearwater,
Sutherland, Largo and Key West
hanging at their belts.
They anticipated hard game with
Key West, as that team had the repu-
tation of being a hard one to beat,
but the score shows that the local
team was the superior aggregation,
for they defeated Key West by 80
to Is.
A good crowd greeted the teams, the
ticket sales amounting to about $35.
the following is the score in detail;

paign:
Each campaign involves the renova.
ton OF the interiors Of buildings as
well rs yards, streets and alleys.
The removal Of all rubbish and ,Ise.
less things is most important
Some revenue can be derived from
tho sale of waste paper.
During the "Clean Up and Paint Up''
campaign is good time to have rub.
bish cans placed upon street corners
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve tho
appearance Of a town than the liberal
use Of paint
Useless and unsightIy outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub.
bish accumulates In cellars, under
stairways, In stOrerooms, passageways.
and in the rear OF hotels and restau.
rants. Look out for RATS here.
A clean yard is not sufficient: II
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
In lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and trees
The thresholds Of a town should he
made inviting to the visitor.
This is good time to find out ahout
the sanitary ordinances Of the town
How about the regulations In regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure piles, splitting,
toilets, etc.i Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint a committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
1t Is very important that the "Clean
UP and Paint Up" idea be impressed
upon the minds of school children.

have in mind two towns. Entering
one, the railroad runs between two
rows Of dirty back yards filled with
tin cans and rubbish. Entering the
other, it passes houses neatly painted,
back yards with flowers in them, and
streets swept clean.
These two towns had the same pop
ulation five years ago. But recently
two new factories have moved to one
OF them; real estate values have ad-
vanced; new houses are being built;
everybody is prosperous and happy.
And the residents Of the other town
cannot unde rstand their bad luck"
A real "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign would have taken the bad
luck" town out of it's rut
This year more than 6,OOO cities and
towns in the United States are con-
Quoting "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paigns.
Many men and women 20 through
lie without ever doing anything for
their community. "Clean Up and
Paint Up" offers you your chance.
The greatest miracles of modern
times have been performed with bon
hres, drain pipes, soap and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the av-
erage American town. Typhoid has
been stamped out Of Serbia. The
Panama Canal zone has been trans
formed from a dismal, unhealthy
swamp to wholesome place for
homes.
Last year Cleveland, in its "Clean
UP and Paint Up campaign, disposed
OF refuse sufficient to fill train three
and one-half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred its boys together, and, by offer
Ing reward for each 100 tin cans
abolished its unsightly back Yards in
q single day
There is no better test of the civ
nlzation of community than this:
BOW much paint does it use?"
a wise man said that
1t Is not given to you to found a re.

But you can make your town n
cleaner, better place to live in. And

Lack Of paint causes a great.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.
To Remove "For Rents Siqns
BY T.. T. TOBEY,


BY f. T. TOBEY.
President Real Estate Bureau.
Little Rock, Ark.
1t is not surprising that houses
which are for rent should be
without tenants, because in most
} cases such houses are unpainted,
the steps are rickety and the
porches not in repair.
The number Of vacant houses
In any city is largely due to the
negligence of the landlord him
self. l recently took two ladies
out, trying to find for them de-
sirable six or seven room house
to rent. I was unable to find
anything to suit them, either on
my own list or on the lists of
other real estate firms, and
these ladies were not exacting
in their wants. They were shown
q few houses Of the desired
size, but the houses were not in
good condition. 1t is true that
some of the landlords say they
are willing to make certain re-
pairs for a good tenant, but it
has been my experience after
years In the business, that 1t is
best to put your house in attrac-
tive shape first and you will
} quickly get tenan1
Houses that are kept re-
paired and painted not only rent
better. but they greatly improve
the looks Of the city.

DR.. Stewart Talks With Gloves
Off

the remarks by DR.. H. D. Stew
art before the Woman's Club of
Monroe a few weeks ago:
1t is said that almost IS per
cent of the married women that
go to hospitals for treatment or.
for operations have to 60 be-
cause they have been infected
by their husbands with gonorr-
hoea. The conditions are
alarming.
A young fellow infected with
gonorrhoea, againt the advice or
over the protest of his physician,
marries a young lady of the
community. She may be your
daughter, YOUR sister or mine.
She is the picture of health.
She is ignorant. She little sus.
poets that the fellow who pro-
fesses to love her and promises
to keep her in sickness and in
health is about to ruin her for
life.
II is nv opinion that the doc
tor or the family physician
shold call halt right here.
MANY women have been kill
ed by their husbands.
1t is said that as high as Is to
60 per cent of blind people, (of
whom there are half a million in
the United States). were render
ed blind by gonorrhoea of the
eyes when they were newborn
babes. The husband infected
the wife and mother and the
mother the baby's eyes. Tie
doctor failed to cure or prevent.
Then these blind people mar
ry and 60 per cent of their chill
dren are born with hereditary
blindness.
Syphilis is the great black
plague. 1t has many obscure
manifestations. 1t causes aneur-
ism. paralysis. badness. insanity,
demetia and mental defects in
the children and many other
evil effects. A friend of mine
has just told me about the case
of noble young woman that
married a syphilitic. He was
rich and belonged 10 promi-
nent family in Southern city.
She married him for wealth and
family name and social positiom
He infected her with syphilis.
Within two years she died a
terrible death.
You would be astonished to
know the truth about some so.
cial tragedies that have been
enacted right here in Monroe.
1t is alarming how many peo.
pie have syphilis. 1t is claimed
that IS per cent of the negroes
and many of the white people
have it.
am candidly of the opinion
that marriage should be denied
to the fellow who cannot show
a clean bill of health. 1t should
be denied TO the confirmed, un.
cured, syphilitic, to the chronic
gonorrhoeic, to the epileptic, to
the habltual drunkard, TO the
mental defective; to the insane;
to anybody with any incurable
disease Of mind, body or moral
nature.
The right to marry should be
denied to pseudomaniacs, nym-
phomanlacs, kleptomaniacs py-
romaniacS, monomanlacs and
to just everyday ordinary Union
county or North Carolina Anglo
Saxon maniacS.
