PINCHED is THE EOlCT OF THE
CITY DADS WHO HAVE PUT AN
OTHER ORDINANCE IN FORCE.

The Jay walkers" Of Ardmore are
having their troubles today.
This IS the first time the new ordi-
nance has been enforced compelling
all pedestrians to cross the streets
like big city folks, and not go gallop
ing across at any old angle. They
must observe the rule, as a policeman
has been stationed at every crossing
to see that they walk within the pre-
scribed limits. Last night a white
mark large enough to be seen by all
was drawn across the streets at every
intersection, and this morning when
the usual jay walker attempted to
cut the corners he was halted by
Little Boy Blue wearing badge and
told to shiny on his own side
1t was hard shedding for some of
the old-tmers. They have been in
the habit of walking iwhere they
pleased, and without doubt it was
CALLING to have to De reminded to
watch their step. All looked alike,
however, and the officials say that
the traffic laws recently enacted are
going to be enforced to the letter.

Immense Beds in the State, Can be
Used Not Only for Fertilizer, but
as a Basis for Ammunition

Jacksonville, Sept. 28-Robert Ran
som, peat specialist, who has been
making an exhaustive study of Flor
ida peat beds, has just returned from
Washington, where he attended the
annual meeting of the American Peat
Society, Of which he is vice president.
Mr.. Ransom declares there is great
interest in official circles in Florida's
peat deposits, and that particularly
Senator Fletcher is impressed with
the immense deposits, estimated con-
servatively at 3,500,000 acres.
The Florida peat, according to Mr..
Ransom, is richer in nitrogenous units
than that of other sections, which
makes the war department particular
ly interested. The practicability of
using peat as the base of cheap but
highly efficient fertilizer appeals to
the department of agriculture and an
appropriation was secured jointly
from the two departments some time
ago for Investigations. The nitrogen
Gus element is so plentiful in Florida
peat that the war department is SER
iously considering, it is said, the feas-
ibility of using peat as a basis for
ammunition manufacture, and General
Crozier, head of the United States
ordnance department, has shown keen
interest in the situation.

ORANGE SPRINGS PICNIC
A SUCCESSFUL EVENT

The basket picnic and farmers meet
ing at Orange Springs yesterday was
a decided success. The address of C.
S. Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union, was the feature Al
excellent dinner was served by the la
dies, and thoroughly enjoyed. A
house to house canvass was decided
on for the purpose of promoting the
Orange Springs fair, and the Marion
County Fair. Mr.. Barrett will attend
the Marion County Fair, and will
make an address.
Mr.. Barrett was introduced by M.
P. Walsh, advertising manager for
the Florida Farms and Homes Inc.
The farmers union has been in ex-
istence II years, and Mr.. Barrett has
been president for II years. He spoke
on the "Co-operative and Educational
Movement Among the Farmers"
Mr.. Barrett said that he had trav-
eled extensively over the country, and
that he was much impressed with the
possibilities in Florida. Florida
natural resources, he said, exceeded
those of California, which has been
built up by concerted boosting" He
said that Florida, with greater natural
resources, could, with one-tenth of
the money and one-tenth the popula-
ton, be as successful as California.
Mr.. Barrett referred to the parcels
post as one of the things promoted by
the farmers union. He spoke of the
farmers need for education, for legis-
lation, for good roads. The greatest
need, he said, is better marketing fa-
cilities.
A local farmers union was organic
ed yesterday. Those who attended
the picnic from Ocaia were: 51rs

AMERICA NEEDS
AN AWAKENING
President Lynch of the Bankers AS
sociation Presents Some Self
Evident Truths to Our People
ASSOCIATED Press)

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 28.-The
American Bankers Association, whose
membership has during the past year
reached total of 16,016 banks, open
ed it's general convention here today
with it's president, James X. Lynch of
San Francisco, delivering an address
in which he discussed the federal re-
serve act and national defense.
"The primary purpose of govern
ment," he said, "is to provide ade-
quate defense for the country govern
ed, and how shamefully this purpose
has been neglected under one admin
tale.
owe are given to boasting of our
size, but when we are no longer
capable Of feeling pin pricks in our
feet, are we not too large. For years
cur citizens in Mexico have been sub
jected to murder and the most un-
tellable outrages, and the national
consciousness is barely aroused. Not
in Mexico alone, but within our own
borders as well as on the high seas,
have our people on their lawful oc-
cupations been done to death while the
nation has slumbered or murmured
feebly in it's sleep.
Gas a nation;w have grown rich,
and have grown fat, and have grown
soft, and we are today the most
tempting prize under the blue canopy
of heaven.
"But if as a nation are sick, it is
as individuals that we must supply
the cure. Congress does not lead, but
follows public opinion. First of all,
we need cooperation, team work, the
things that win any kind of human
endeavor, and to secure this there is
nothing quite so good as universal
military training which arouses ma
tional feeling and national conscious
ness as nothing else can do.
"In the task of vitalizing the nation,
the most important agency is the
press, which informs, instructs, ad-
vises, admonishes the people. 1t i'll
becomes one ignorant of the Difficult
ties encountered in collecting and dis
tributing the news, to critisize the ap-
parent failures or deficiencies, but is
it too much to ask of our papers that
they take the larger view of our ma
tional affairs and help in the difficult
task which is before US, and to ask of
our people that they discriminate be-
tween the varying grades of ability
and integrity with which the work is
done?
eff our people can rise to the
heights of citizenship that the times
demand, the work that must be done
can be accomplished peacefully and in
order, but if they will not learn from
the bitter experience of our kin
across the sea, the reformation will
be worked out amid the ruin of war"

Garry the State

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 27, 1916"
Notice of call for meeting of State
Democratic Executive Committee of
Florida:
executive committee of Florida is
hereby called to be held at Jackson
vile, Fla, Seminole hotel, Saturday,
October 7, at 10 o'clock in the fore
noon, for the purpose of adopting
such measures as may be proper and
necessary to aid in the election of all

Immediately on adjournment of the
state committee.
Every truly yours,
Geo. p. Raney,
chairman State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Florida
Mr.. Raney's statement follows:
ct is undoubtedly the duty of the
state democratic executive committee
to give every assistance in it's power
to the election of the regular nominees
of the democratic party, national,
state and county, in the ensuing gen.
eral election.
"The republican party encouraged
by the factional fight within the dem
ocratic party in this state is, for the
first time in many years, making a
genuine effort to become a factor in
Florida politics.
"One contestant for democratic
nomination has undoubtedly declared
his intention of running for governor
in the general election whether he OBJ
tains the democratic nomination or
not; Notwithstanding the fact that his
leading counsel has stated substan-
TALLY over his own signature that
every ruling made by the supreme
court of this state with respect to
such contest has been absolutely fair
and impartial, and that such counse
, has perfect confidence that future
rulings of the supreme court will be
equally fair and impartial, and the
same leading counsel is quoted in the
press dispatches as having voluntari
ly apologized to the supreme court
for the unwarrarted aspersions cas-
upon the judiciary of this state by hi:
client.
with the democratic party con
fronted with these conditions I deem
1t my duty to issue the above call fol
another meeting of the committee"
