TRADE BODY TO RISCUSS
FREIGHT RATES IN STATE

Tampa, Aug. ga communica-
tion from President Miller, of the
South Florida Chamber of Com
merce, has been addressed to differ
ent organizations and manufacturers
throughout the State, requesting
their presence at meeting which
will be held in Tampa on Sept. for
the purpose of discussing freight and
express rates in the State.
The communication reads:
"The freight and express rate sit
uation in Florida has reached the
stage where 1t becomes necessary to
try to get together all shipping and
farming organizations, phosphate
companies, crate material manufac-
turers and similar Industries, in or
der that the matter of freight and
express rates can be taken up on q
broad basis and handled to a salts
factory conclusion.
"At recent meeting of the Hills
borough County Board of Trade 1t
was decided to hold a mass meeting
of all interested parties at Tampa
on Thursday, Sept. Z, at the hour
of 2 p. m. to go into the rate mat
ters. Our organization has been
working on this matter for several
months, and having assurances from
many large shipping organizations
that they are in favor of movement
of this kind, think 1t would bs ad :
visable for our organization to meet
with the Hillsborough County Board
of Trade and try to arrange to put
in operation either a South FloFida
or State Tariff Bureau.
81 would therefore request your
sanction and approval to call a meet
ing at Tampa on Sept. Z, and sincere
ly hope that we may receive your
hearty support OF this movement that
means 30 much for the future OF the
State"

stain of high temperatures and dry
ness. A new crop should be planted
now, and it may be profitable to try
the experiment of planting both In
the open ground, where the plants
are to remain and in frames for trans

be located in relatively cool, shady

thinning to one plant. If the field
planting should not survive, however,
in some instances, the grower, 1t is
pointed out, is protected by having
on hand the frame grown plants. Or
dinally the seed planted direct to the
field will produce an earlier crop
than seed planted in a frame and
transplanted.
Among the vegetables which may
be planted at practically any time
during the summer, with fair assur'
ance of success, ARE beans. Bush
SQUASH may also be planted even on
the hottest weather If they have not
been made a part of the garden at

the gardener for choice. Beets, pars'

Despite the statements OF certain pro-

Allies. and not OF Germany. that
prompted the Dutch government TO
take war-like measures month ago
Certain reports reaching the Dutch
government about steps taken by the
Allies at the Paris economic confer
ence caused grave concern here.
The Minister OF War informed news
papernien that the government was ex
pecting an economic crisis OF great
importance. though he refused to go
further in his statement.
Evidently in anticipation Of sharp
measures by the Allies. the govern
ment chartered several steamers and
sent them to America for wheat.
Measures taken by the British gov
ernment to enforce the blockade OF
Germany are steadily becoming more
Irritating TO the Dutch.
This does not mean. however. that
the anti-German feeling OF the greater
part OF the people Of Holland has been
lessened.
Holianders are generally convinced
that Germany has respected Dutch
neutrality In this war only because
she depen's uron Holland for her
food supplies.
The people blame high food prices
rpon Germany tecause expectations
to the Kaiser's realm have iessened
the supply here.

let alone by both s.des.

WORTH KEEPING IN MIND
Some "Don'tsv for the Consideration
of Those Who Are Planning
Building Of House.


If you are planning to build house.
whether it be for your own occupancy
or for rental or sale. remember there
are many things which should be omit
ted in the planning. Some OF these
are enumerated IN the following
don'ts:'
Don't, in the plumbing OF the bath
room closet. permit the use of other
than a gas-proof metal to metal con
nections with the soil pipe.
Don't in planning your home
grounds. forget that there is one
form only of imitation that is safe
the imitation of nature.
Don't. If you are building in the
country. think that you cannot have
an electric equipment. Private ELECTRIC
light and power plants are quite with
in reach OF even the moderate-sized
purse. and furnish abundant light and
current for the modern household ap-
pliances.
Don't forget that wall board is a
very good substitute for lath and plas-
ter and that fractures which often oc-
cur in walls of plaster are not possi-
BILE where this material is used.
Don't forget that you can make the
back entrance to the new house quite
as attractive as the front entrance.
Don't. when planning the fireplace.
fail to remember that good taste is
expressed in a simple mantel de-
signed according to the architecture
OF the house.
Don't forget that mirrors. in add
tion to fulfilling their utilitarian pur-
poses OF rejecting objects. nelp archi-
lecture.
Don't fall to allow for plenty OF
windows in the kitchen. This makes
for cheer as we'll as for yep.ilaticn.
Don't waste space inside tie ward
robe closets: utilize every i1ch- Poles
for hangers may be placed v9ry high
for one-piece frocks, lower ,-nes for
coats and skirts, and underneath these
drawers or shelves to take care OF the
boots. slippers and hats.
Don't. IN planning for the windows
in the sleeping room. ignore the
possibilities OF q easement window
placed very high above the head OF
the bed.
This solves quite satisfactorily the
problem OF an additional window. and
in appearance IL most pleasing.
Don't plan for single doors between
the living rooms and the hall. Wide
openings give an air OF spaciousness
and a hospitable effect not possible to
obtain with a single door.
Don't forget that beamcd ceiling
not only looks more durable than u
ceiling OF plaster. but that II is 30.
The more exposed timbers there are
In the Interior the longer will be the
life OF the house. Plaster retards the
action of the air upon wood. and this
causes decay.
