GIGANTIC LOAN
BEING RAISED BY
JEWS Of AMERICA
Will Raise Great Fund as a Loan
After the War-Loan is to Be

est" is to be raised to place the Jews
CT Europe definitely beyond the reacn
Of suffering after the war, according
to DR.. Judah L. Magnes, who returned

How the loan is to be obtained will be
left to the Judgment of those who will
undertake to raise the money. 1t was
explained that the proposed loan is
distinct from the fund of $10,000,000

details of the plan will be revealed
by DR.. Magnes at mass meeting here

GOV. ELECT Cats
AND SHELL FISH
COMMISSIONER

That Shell Fish Commissioner
Hodges deserves continuance in office
is the contention of the Tampa Times
in the following tribute to his past
services. The Times says:
Among the declarations accredited
to Governor-elect Cats during the re-
cent campaign was one to the effect
that he would dynamite the yacht
Roamer, used by Shell Fish Commits
sioner T. R. Hodges, and then dis
charge Mr.. Hodges.
The absurdity of the threat to de-
molish the shell fish commissioners
boat is too evident to warrant atten-
ton, but that to remove Mr.. Hodges
from office is one that does demand
the consideration of all who are inter-
eSted in the conservation of Florida S
great fish industry, which is in a par
alytic state compared to conditions
that existed a decade ago. Year by
year the supply of fish and oysters
has decreased because of the careless
methods employed by the fishermen,
together with the lack Of regard for
the spawning seasons, and the indus
try that should bring millions to the
state annually is in sad plight. This
in spite of the fact that the demand
for sea foods is greater than ever be-
fore, with high prices prevailing.
One of the best laws enacted by the
legislature of 1918 was that providing
for protection of the fisheries, under
which Mr.. Hodges received his ap-
pointment. Since that time, and in
the face of great opposition, also in
spite of the murder of one or more
of his deputies by ignorant fishermen,
Mr.. Hodges has not only worked in
cessantly for the rehabilitation of the
industry, hut in p intelligent and ef-
fective manner. In his quiet, manly
way, he has given the fishermen to
understand that the law was enacted
for the purpose of being enforced, and
his influence has been felt from Fer
nandina to Key West, from Key West
to Pensacola. Because protection is
guaranteed under the law, increased
interest is being manifested in fish
cries and with proper conservation the
industry should be a source of i'm
mense revenue within five or ten
years.

LABOR DEMANDS
RIGHT TO STRIKE
AS THEIR WEAPON

Baltimore.-The American Fedora
tion of Labor, by a unanimous vote
declared against that provision of
President Wilson's legislative pro-
gram, making illegal any railroad
strike or lockout prior to the investi-
cation of the merits of the case"
The convention had before it the
executive committees report referred
to the threatened railroad strike. The
bill referred to strikes and interrupt
ticn of transportation and the report
says:
"This apparent intention to again
subject workers to involuntary servi-
tude has aroused wage earners gener-
ally. To their declarations against in
voluntary servitude the proponents Of
the legislation have replied that all
though : strike would be illegal un-
der the proposed law and strikers
criminals, yet individual workers were
not deprived of the right to quit work.
"It is pure sophistry that only aug
ments the sense of injustice that
wage-earners may feel for industrial
wrongs to follow them by law, the
right Of individuals to quit work and
to declare that they cannot agree with
fellow workers that conditions are 50
bad their only hope for justice and
fair dealing lies in agreeing together
to quit work, that is, to refuse to per-
form their usual tasks-to strike"
Problems of industrial justice and
redress for industrial wrongs, the re-
port concluded, cannot be worked out
by laws.
The creation of a federal commits
sion to investigate all phases of the
cost of living and recommend to con-
gress measures designed to remedy
this situation and to prevent it's re-
currcnce, was demanded resolu
tion.
The resolution demands that chief
benefciaries of this abnormal condi-
ton, the chief enemies of organized
labor, be punished. d,

FallsinLoveWith
Tarpon Springs

Frederick Hacker lives in the city
of New York. On week days he is
the travelling representative of Fred K
Hacker & Co., manufacturers of laces
and embroideries, at 31-33 west 21st
street, New York. But on Sundays,
his "off days." he allows his love of
the beautiful, his keen sense of artis-
tic and scenic surroundings, and his
thirst for exploration among things
historical and romantic to have full
sway. Therefore, yesterday, being
in Tarpon Springs, he visited the
Greek sponge boats, the famous
Spring bayou, and later chartered the
motor boat on Lake Butler for a fish
ing trip and "fish fry" afterward on
the shores of the lovely lake beneath
the palms and the pines"
He satisfied his thirst for things ro-
mantle by visiting the mansion house
where the Duke and Duchess of Suth-
erland once lived, and standing on the
piazza of the old house gazed off over
the broad expanse of water and forest,
and fixed in his mind the dream of
grandeur that the old duke and Mad
am Blair, the so-called duchess, were
never to realize. From the same point

MOTOR TO FLORIDA CROWD
FIND BAD ROADS IN HERNANDOCO.

The one bad stretch of road for au-
tomobile tourists coming into St. Pc
tersburg by way of Brooksville, Ari-
peka and Tarpon Springs is the road
in fernando county this side of
Brooksville, according to two auto
parties who reached the city this week.
This opinion is borne out by other au-
toists coming that way.
The bond issue in fernando county
whereby the roads are to be hard sur
faced will make the Brooksville route
a good one in short time, say those
who keep posted on road building in
this part of Florida. The verdict of
autoists coming into the city now is
that the route via Tampa is better at
this time than the Brooksville route.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20.-More
than 100000 select fruit-bearing buds
from citrus trees with known perform
ance records have been placed in the
hands of cooperators of the bureau Of
plant industry, of the U. s. depart
nent of agriculture, who are to permit
the department to secure progeny rec
ords from the trees so propagated.
The purpose is to secure uniformity Of
strain of the trees and the fruits borne
by such trees. This distribution fol-
lows extensive taking of records of Sc
lect trees of the Washington Navel
and Valencia oranges, Eureka, Lisbon,
and Villa Franco lemons, Marsh
grapefruit, and Dancy tangerine. The
buds are supplied not merely for prop
agation of nursery stock, but, in many
cases, for the top working of unprofit-
able trees in established plantations.
Recently, in cooperation with the
California Fruit Growers exchange,
a systematic campaign has been un-
dertaken to eliminate all of the infe-
rior strains of grapefruit in Califor-
MIA by top-working trees of such
strains with select buds from trees of
the Marsh variety, with known per-
formance records, thus reducing the
grapefruit production of the state
practically to a single variety. Each
year sees an increase in the number
of citrus growers in California who
adopt the commercial tree perform
ance record system for locating trees
of Improbable character, either be-
cause they bear little fruit or because
they bear fruit of a strain not we'll
suited to commercial use. A second
commercial nursery has been estab-
lished during the year in California
for the purpose of propagating trees
from wood borne by record individ-
uals.
Of interest also to the citrus grow
er is the statement in the annual re-
port of the chief of the bureau of
plant industry that a machine has
been invented which successfully re-
moves the oil-bearing portion of the
rind of waste and Gull oranges and
other citrus fruits, thus making it
possible to eliminate a large part OF
the expensive hand labor which has
heretofore rendered the domestic pro-
duction of sweet-orange oil CONNER
cially improbable. This machine has
been patented and dedicated to the
public. There has also been devised a
simple, practical and inexpensive
method of manufacturing sweet-or-
ange oil from the rind of Gull and

To THEIR HOME

Mr.. H. A. Gibble and bride have re-
turned to Tarpon Springs and are at
home to their many friends. They
occupy the large roomy home owned
and occupied by the bride before she
became Mrs. Gibble.
The marriage of Mrs. Martha J..
Craver and Mr.. H. A. Gibble, which
was solmenized in st. Cloud, Fla, last
Wednesday, was an event of much in
terest in Tarpon Springs, as the cou~
pie are favorably known to practically

of Gibble & Son, decorators, while
Mrs. Martha ]. Craver, the bride, has
made her home here for many years
and being free dealer and possessed
of a goodly amount of valuable prop
erty which she has successfully man
aged, has become known to every one,
and to know her is to admire her, for
she has so many noble traits of char
acter. To say she has many friends
would be putting it mildly. The whole
population here are her friends.
The wedding took place in St. Cloud
as Mrs. Craver desired that the Rev.
