BETHLEHEM FANS ARE
PROUD OF SOCCER TEAM
Over Scottish-Americans
Gives Upstate Eleven Cham
pionship for Season

BETHLEHEM. Pa, June 14-There' is
admirers since the Bethlehem Steel soccer
team on Saturday cinched the champion
ship of the United States by defeating the
Scottish-Americans OF Newark, for the
American Challenge Cup.
The people here are proud of many ad-
uncts to the Bethlehem Steel but there is
probably more pride In the soccer team
than in anything else. The soccer team was
developed by II. Edward Lewis, now assist
ant to the president and said to be in line
for vice presidency.
Everybody around the Bethlehem steel
offices and works is tlckled over a request
that has come to send the Bethlehem team
to Scandinavia for a series of six games
with the leading clubs of Sweden and six
more in Norway, IL games in ALL The re-
quest was made by the same association
headed by the King of Sweden, that several
years ago manager the worlds Olympic
games when Jim Thorpe won the title of
worlds champion athlete and then was too
shy TO meet the king.
The association has deposited $4,000 In
New York to show It's good faith.
After the swelling on his face had gone
down sufficiently to allow a thorough exam
ination, 1t was ascertained that Pepper
the inside right on the Bethlehem team had
received fractured cheek bone in last
Saturdays game. The accident occurred
during the early part of the game in n coll

fering intense pain. played through the en-

NEWSPAPERS AND SOME
POLICE DEPARTMENTS

Newspaper men everywhere who
have had experience with police de-
partmnts have been requested by Of
ficers to withhold information about
certain cases. This request is most
frequently made in regard to cases
upon which the police are at work
and in which the man wanted has
not been apprehended
The universal plea of the officers
in such case is that the man will
read the papers, find out the police
are after him and never be caught.
Some times in such cases the off
GERS take the newspapermen in their
confidence. At other times they will
tell the reporters nothing.
The sooner police officers drop this
absurd idea the sooner can they Sc
cure the full benefit of publicity in
bringing criminals to justice. If a
man kills another, robs a bank or
steals horse he knows that the DO
lice are looking for him without
waiting to read the newspapers to
see If he is fugitive from justice.
In Withholding such information
as they have about the suspected
criminal the police make his escape
easier because the man is confront
ed only with the task of outwitting
the police. If the reporters are told
about the crime, the man is de-
scribed and his pictures are printed
nearly everybody will know about
him and his chance to escape is
greatly minimized.
AS police departments are main
tanned for the protection of the pub
lie it should be part of their pol
icy to protect people to the extent of
letting them know who are Grim
inals.
Police officers are also reluctant
to give news of robberies before the
suspected persons are caught. They
say that the robber will never be
caught if he finds out the police are
after him. But they do not seem
to realize that if systematic robber-
les are being carried on the people
have a right to know it so they can
protect themselves. ~ Pensacola

BELIEVES FLORIDA IS UNDER.
LAID WITH OH.

We note that persistent efforts are
being made in this State to discover
petroleum. We see no reason why
oil should not be discovered in nav
Ing quantities in Florida, as well as
In most of the other gulf states. The
mere matter of fact that it has not
yet been discovered here is no reason
10 suppose that 1t does not exist.
The same fact stared the people of
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri in
the face for generations. neverthe
less within a few years, there has
been developed in those states one
or the gratest oil fields in the world.
The same is true of the Louisiana
and Texas oil fields that have pro-
duced millions of barrels of oil with
in the past two decades. Neither
does the fact that biologists and
scientists have failed to announce
any real signs of oil here insure the
fact that it is not here. For it is
we'll known fact that biologists had
thoroughly investigated the noun
tain range wherein the world famous
Cripple Creek gold mines have been
turning out millions of the yellow
metal for a generation, and assured
prospectors that there was not the
slightest use of prospecting there for
gold, as all the geological forma-
lions were against there being gold
in that range, and yet simple Cow
puneher" too poor to do down to the
city to celebrate the Fourth of July

the Independents" mine and became
a multi-millionaire There is every
reason to believe that Florida is
underlaid with oil, and we hope it
will be located.-Milton Gazette.

/ feared. Whereas people once feared
to come South in the summer months
it is now not uncommon to select
Florida as a convention State in

farther north, and they are gaining
in popularity as the years come and

At the recent South Florida fair,
held in Tampa, declared to be lone
of the best exhibitions of it's kind
ever held in the South those who
attend it, speak of it in the highest
terms. Of the premiums for county
exhibits seven were awarded to Polk
county. Among it's winnings were

ducts, the best display of minerals,
an exhibit of wild animals and birds,
and of fish from it's inland waters
One of it's citizens, n. j. Thompson
received first premiums for the best
exhibit of preserved fruits, and for
the finest arranged display of the
products of its fields, orchards and

At the next national census, in

ers to build winter homes. Some six
miles north Of Crooked Lake, three
thousand acres have been plated at
Iron Mountain, bordering upon
Mountain lake, for homes for
wealthy people who desire to spend
a few months away from the rigors
of northern winters. The grounds
have been laid out by leading land
scape artist from New York city, and
an expensive club house is already
built. Building lots are held at $3.50

The future of this scenic hieh-

to the growing number of perman-
