HELP A BOY BY
WRITING TO HIM

Probation Officer James c. Lanier
finds fifteen boys in the reformatory
at Mariana, who are without parents
or relatives of any description and who
feel isolated from the outside world
and nothing to look forward to nor no
one to call even friend" at the eXpi-
ration of their sentence. To offset this
to some extent at least, with the con-
sent of the superintendent, Mr.. Lanier
is going to try and find mother" or
big sitter" as friend for these boys
who will correspond with them and to
whom they may look forward to as a
friend. Mr.. Lanier interviewed all of
the boys in this condition and without
a single exception they said they would
love to have friend to write to and
promised to write to them on the first
and fifteenth of each month, the DAYS
they are allowed to write. Mr.. Lanier
believes there is no influence as help
full in a boys life as that of a good
woman and the knowledge that there is
some good woman on the outside who
recall cares for his welfare will go a
long way towards helping him make
Sood while he is in school and look
| forward with new zeal for his chance
in the future. In other words, mother
4
love always has been and always will
be the strongest force for good in the
world, and by this plan he is suggest
ing. Mr.. Lanier hopes to bring at least
something of this "motherlove" into
the lives of these boys who by misfor-
tune have been deprived of it. Mr..
Lanier believes that there are enough
good women in the state who would
be willing to render this little service
in an effort to brighten these BOYS
present condition and make their out
look for the future a little more hone
full. Mr.. Lanier has the names of these
boys and can give a brief history of
their past lives and would greatly an
preciate it if any woman willing to do
this would write to him and ask for
a name of a boy.
There is one example in the school
OF this plan. At Christmas time a lady
from Tampa sent a present for one of
the boys in this condition He ac-
knowledged receipt of it himself and
he has since that time been cores
ponding with his friend regularly and
looks forward with great pleasure to
getting letter from her and of the
opportunity to write to her. Mr.. SUI
perintendent says he has noted an i'm.
provement in every respect in this boy
since this little ray of outside interest
has come into his Tallasassee

TOWN OF HAVANA DESTROYED
BY FIRE THURSDAY NIGHT

The beautiful and progressive little
town of Havana, eighteen miles
north of Tallahassee, in Gadsden coun
ty, with the exception of one store was
completely destroyed by fire Thursday
night
The places burned included the hotel,
garage, bank, postoffice, drug store,
telephone exchange, millinery store
and five residences, together with sew
eral smaller stores.
The only houses saved in the bust
ness district was the G. F. & A. depot
and the store of VIM. M. Fineberg.
The fire is said to have originated in
the millinery store, between the post
office and the bank While the citi-
Zens were fighting this, fire broke out
in several other places in the town.

work of incendiaries, for the purpose

The TOWN. being wiwthout fire fight
ing apparatus, it was not possible to
make much Roadway against the
flames.
This is the second destructive fire
the place has sustained within the past
ten years. The business district was
originally of wooden buildings. The
firsrt fire destroyed these, and brick
buildings replaced them These have
now been swept by the fire fiend.
Those wwho visited the little town
Friday, witnessed desolate scene.
The loss is approximately 500, 900,
without about half insurance
But the people are plucky. The
town is located in the center of one
of the richest of farming sections, and
the place will unquestionably rebuild.

WatterSOn Declares We Will
Ultimately Control Mex. From
Rio Grande To ISthmuS

The territory between the Ric
Grande and the isthmus will ultimate
ly be controlled by the United States
says Col. Henry Watterson, distin
guished editor of the Louisville Cou
rier-Journall, whwo is here with Mrs
Watterson for ten days or two weeks
Accompanied by Mrs. Watterson, they
arrived here yesterday morning from
Miami, where the party has been stay
ing since December. While in Jack
sonville they will reside at the Semi
mole hotel.
Mr. Watterson received a represent
tatve of the Florida Times Union in
his suite last night and talked at
length on a number of topics of per
sonal and national interest Among
other things he said that his visits to
florida every winter. during the last
thirty years, have given him a right
to feel like he is at home in the state
Up to year ago the Wattersons
spent their winters at Naples -onthe-
Gnlf, but Miami has been their head
quarters at this season since the lat
ter part of 1914.
The Times Union representive
called Mr.. Waterson's attention to an
editorial slap taken at him by the
New York Herald of the preceding
day, asking for an expression from
him. The paragraph read as follows:
CLOSE reading of the Courier-Jour-
nal forces the conclusion that Col
Watterson never will forgive Col. Her
bert Slocum for not having got as far
as Panama at least two days ago.

The distinguished Kentuckian read
the clipping and said:

in comparison with which | am an an
gel of patience. | am hardly so pre-
ripitatc, however. as the Herald would
mae me. Nevertheless, it is on to
Panama with me destiny-if you
please manifest destiny that we shall
ultimately control all of the territory
between the Rio Grande and the 18TH
mus"
'You think this means interven-
tion?" he was asked.
THAT will be the end of it. There
will never be order in Mexico until
we compel it. We shall have to an
neX-purchase of Mexico-all of the
country this side of the mountains,
Sonora. extending from Arizon to the
sea, and Lower California. with Del
agoa bay for naval base. The move
ments now wonder way are but pre-
ludes to this.
Next Mr.. Watterson was asked for
his views of the administration and it's
policy.

the interviewer.
