FIRE DESTROYED
BARTSCHE HOME
DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT AT 2:9O
THIS MORNING TO BLAZE ON
WEST SIXTH
Low Pressure of Water Interfered
With Effective WOrk-COntents
of House Saved

Fire starting from a defective fiue
practically destroyed a residence on
West Sixth street, near the university
poultry yards, at 2.3O this morning.
W. R, Newland, Viola school teacher,
was sleeping in the building in the alb
sence of the owner, H. E. Bartshe, who
recently moved to Oregon. He had
started fire in the range last night
to heat some water, and it is presum-
ed the fire caught early in the night
and smouldered until it was discover
ed.
Owing to the distance from the var
ious fire department headquarters the
building was nearly destroyed before
the fireboys arrived They were SER
iously handicapped by low pressure in
the water mains and it was not until
some time after the streams we're
started that the pressure was suffici-
ent to work effectively with.
Mr. Newland was awakened by the
popping of the fire on the dry roof,
but mistook the noise for the cooling
of the water tank and did not investi-
gate until several minutes later when
he found the kitchen in a blaze The
alarm was turned in at 2:30, but it
was about 20 minutes before the de-
partments got together at the scene
owing to the distance they had to
travel. Practically all the contents
of the house were removed by Mr..
Newland
Chief Mordhorst asks the Star-Mir
ror to take this opportunity to request
all water users to observe the ordin
ance requiring that all hydrants be
shut off when the fire bell rings. Some
OF the difficulty last night is said by
the freboys to have been caused by
sprinklers going on several lawns, |
when the water was already low.

Hon. w. V. Knott, candidate
for governor, holds some sound
views on state questions and in
his platform expresses himself on
one issue in terms that will meet
with the general approval of the
state press and the thinking pub
lie. Mr.. Knott says: "Our exist
ing libel laws as applied to the
press, and interpreted by four
courts are too restrictive, and, un-
der my prerogative as governor,
/ shall urge upon the legislature
such amendments to and revision
Of the libel laws as will give to the
press absolute liberty of publica-
ton when made in the public in
terest and without malice. -
Plant City Courier.
Mr.. Knott has incorporated in
to his platform a plank which ap-
peals very strongly to the news
paper people of Florida, and we
trust that all his competitors in
the race will see, the point and a.
dopt the same plank. He is tired
of the gross, fragrant injustice to
the newspapers of Florida in the
present tyrannous and restrictive
libel laws.e" y We suggest to
all the candidates for governor
that they step right up on the
plank in Candidate Knott's plat
form in which he pledges himself
to use his influence, if elected, to
secure a libel law for this state
that does not outrage every prin-
ciple of justice and common sense,
as is the case with the present
one. As that law now is, it seems
designed to restrict the legitimate
rights of the newspaper in the
spirit Of pure tyranny and Incl
dentally to aid the damage suit
lawyer whose eagle eye is always
piercing the horizon in all direc-
tions seeking for a chance to
scare up a damage suit.-Lake-
land Telegram.
Among the planks which go to
make up the platform of Hon. w.
". Knott, is one which will doubt
less be met with satisfaction by
every newspaper publisher in the
state as well as by that vast num-
Der of people who believe in free
speech and an unmuzzled press.
1t is a fact that cannot be disput-
ed that Florida s newspapers are
muzzled as no other newspapers
in the United States, and that as
a result the papers are forced to
suppress much of the news and
happenings of the day that the
public is justly entitled to and
has every reason to expect.
Under a recent decision OF the
Supreme Court at Tallahassee,
the daily and weekly publications
are placed in a most peculiar and
unwarranted position. If there

Start Saving Now for an Educa-
tion

Do you know boy or girl who
would like to have an education ?
You do. There are several in ev-
cry community. Perhaps you
have children who would like to
have an education or whom you
would like to send to school. Do
you know why more children do
not go to school? They have not
the necessary funds.
Why not begin saving now? If
you are like almost every man
you meet you cannot spare 5000
to $400 a year to send your child
to college. But if you had start
ed saving fifteen years ago you
could have had the money and
you never would have missed the
small monthly savings. Plans are
under consideration at the Uni
versity of Florida for an educa-
tional savings fund. A deposi-
tory will be provided in one bank
in each county. The money will
be available to the child or per-
son under whose name it is de-
posted at the age of twenty or
when the child is ready to go to
college. Persons will not be re-
quired to attend the University
of Florida. 1t is probable that
banks will compound the interest
quarterly.
This plan will enable many par
ents to send their children to col
lege who would not be able to do
so otherwise. 1t will also pro-
mote the habit of saving not only
in the parents but in the child as
well.

ed right by that section and stop
ped not till they had a bed hired
in a big Los Angeles hotel at a
fancy price. And the same is
true here in Florida. Where can
there be found finer citrus fruit
than is grown at Crescent City,
and yet who knows a thing about
the place? Where are there to be
had finer strawberries than all
produced in Bradford county,
and yet the prospective purchaser
of Florida berry land scoots right
through that section and HES him
self down to Plant City. And SO
it is all the way through the cata-
log.
But now for the why of it all
1t is simply publicity and promo
ton. In Los Angeles thousands
and thousands of dollars were in
vested in boom editions of the
city papers and sent broadcast all
ever the East During the flood
tide of immigration which struck
California in 1878, the trains were
all unloaded at Sacramento and
San Francisco. When the next
boom of immigration struck the
State, not man ever thought of
stopping north of Tehachipi. No
man would rest easy till he could
arise in the morning and feast
his eyes on Old Baldy.
In South Florida they have
wide-awake newspapers, boards
of trade, active business men, get
up-and-do Rotary clubs, and all
that goes to make it worth while
for a man to come into the com
|munity and invest his money and
help build up the country. They
have good roads and fine farms
and all that goes to make a COM
munity prosperous and thrifty

know about Sumter.
Mr.. Gilchrist spoke of the Ev-
Ierglades.
"My opponent, Mr.. Stockton,
promises Lee county to carry out
the drainage schemes under any
circumstances. | tell them that
a proposition of this kind, re-
quiring the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars, is one of business
and not of politics, and that | will
act accordingly to my best Judge
ment. My record in that respect
is known" "
On this subject he added that a
bill was introduced in congress
by John Sharp Williams and
Speaker Clark providing for the
expenditure of about fifteen mil
lions of dollars then held by the
government and derived from the
sales of lands in the various
states. This bill provided for the
expenditure of this money in the
purchase Of drainage bonds, the
government to sell the bonds, buy
more bonds, and thus keep up an
endless chain of drainage bond
buying. "I will do my best to
see that measure enacted into
law" said Mr.. Gilchrist.
The literature which he is dis
tributing personally contains
some racy reading, many side
lights on political matters, and is
worth perusal by those who want
information about the campaign
which is now getting to white
heat. Miami Herald, Feb. IL.

Plant Leguminous Crop for Citrus
Grove

There may be plenty of nitro
gen in the soil for your citrus
trees now. But you may have a
different story to tell in eight
weeks. That is habit nitrogen
has in these loose citrus soils. 1t
stays in just long enough for the
grower to decide that he will not
need to plant cover crop. Readi-
ly available nitrogen teaches rap
idly. It's availability depends on
its ready solubility. The supply
available for the plant may leach
from an open soil within eight
weeks. The trees show need of it
by yellowing.
b. F. Floyd, plant physiologist
ito the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, advises those
growers who intend to apply very
little or no fertilizer during the
summer to adopt some means of
supplying and maintaining the
nitrogen. Cultivation of legumi-
nous cover crops is the best meth
od. No matter whether the grow
er plans to fertilize or not he
should grow legumes in his grove
They furnish not onlynitrogen but
humus and organic matter as well
which are necessary for the main
tenance of soil life. Wherever
conditions viii permit, cover
crops should be planned before
planting time.
Cowpeas and beggar weed are
the favorites because they can be
grown quickly. Velvet beans are
fully as good as, if not better
than, either, but owing to their
rank growth they are apt to
smother the trees or interfere
with their growth otherwise. Seed
should be obtained for the cover
crop before planting time.

South Florida

There was a time when people
went to California quite indiffer-
emily where they struck the State
at Shasta, San Francisco, or Los
Angeles. But all that is changed
now. No one ever goes to Cali
fornia any more, they just run
out to Los Angeles. You can
meet hundred men in a day who
have been out to the coast, and
when you ask them to locate their
place Of visit it will be Los Ange-
les in more than 80 per cent. Of
the cases.
1t likewise used to be that peo-
pie came to Florida indifferently,
and it made but little difference
whether they stopped off at Jack
sonville or went to some other
point in the state. But all that
is changed now, and you can
stand in the depot at Jacksonville
and question the tourists as to
their destination, and more than
80 per cent. of them will answer,
South Florida. +"
Now, there is great big why
for all this in both States. Some
years ago citrus fair was in OPP
GRAFTON in Los Angeles, and the
only ripe oranges displayed came
from the foothills above Sacra-
mento, and yet the people scurri-

was ever need for a revision of
the libel laws of any State, that
need is in Florida today. One of
the first things that should be ta-
ken up by the Legislature of next
year should be revision of these
laws which now permit the crimi-
nal, the fakir and forger and the
what-nots to poster and hamper
the publication of a newspaper
with legitimate aims and pur-
poses. Florida newspapers have
long ago realized this need; but
it was not until the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme Court above
referred to, that this need was
driven into the minds of publish
ers and the public generally in a
forceful manner. -
The Metropolis sincerely hopes
that every candidate for Govern
or will view the situation as does
Mr.. Knott and that each and ev-
cry one of them will declare them
selves on the subject of freedom
of the press" No man who is not
in sympathy with laws which
would give the newspaper the
right to print "all the news that s
fit to print" should receive the
endorsement of Florida Demo-
Gratis, for he would be in sympa-
thy with suppressing one of the
guarantees of the federal consti-
tution.-The Florida Metropolis.

R. C. Blount enjoyed the ex-
perience of an automobile head
on collision and wreck on Sunday
night of last week. He was alone
in his own car going INTO Tampa ;
and, when in the neighborhood
of Dover, while crossing a short
bridge he met another car driven
by DR.. Wright of Plant City. The
latter made an error in movement
and the two cars came together.
DR.. Wright's car was wrecked,
the Blount car badly damaged
and all hands shaken up. The
only personal injury was suffered
by a lady in the Wright car, who
received a small cut on her fore
head.
