The defense measures were put
through. The outbreak of the great
war in the midst of Sweden's prepar.
ations naturally served to add fuel to
the fire and hurry along her afyna-
ment.
The army has been increased from

With this army at his back and oc-
cupying his strategic position able to
offer important services to both sides
in the struggle King Gustav has been
the most independent neutral ruler
who has figured largely in the contro-
versies growing out OF the Sxag. He
has protested strongly to Germany
against the depredations of her sub
marines, but he has taken an even
mroe belligerent position toward Eng
land. England is accustomed to as
sumo a somewhat superior air in deal
ing with the little nations of the
world, but her attempt to do this with
Sweden has resulted in her ill-con-
cealed discontinue.

REPORT BEING TAKEN
AMONG THE CONDUCTORS
Decision, 1t Is Expected, Will
Shortly Be Announced-Man-
agement Has Not Yielded to
Demands of Employees.

Passenger conductors of the Allan
tic Coast Line, according to a news
item sent out from Wilmington, n.
c., are taking a vote for the purpose
of determining whether they will go
on strike as a protest against the
recent adoption by the road of an au-
dit company's system of checking All
of the passenger conductors of the line
are being canvassed to determine II
they will submit to the operation of
this checking system.
The management of the Coast Line
has not been officially notified that a
vote is being taken, hence no formal
notice has been taken of it. Officials
have known for some days, however,
that the conductors were being can
vassed. That the road will insist on
the operation of the new chcc..ing
system appears certain.
Protests against this checking we're
made by the conductors soon afl2r
January IS when the services OF tie
White Audit company, Chicago, were
secured by the railroad to check its
passenger conductors. 1t is under
stool that the complaints of the con
ductors went so far as to bring about
a conference between a committee
from the conductors and the man
agement at Wilmington. The de-
mands of the conductors at this
meeting have not been stated.
1t is understood, however, that the
conductors failed to reach an agree.
ment with the company and are now
taking a vote of every conductor on
tn line to determine who will accept
the system and who will not. A large
number of the men, it is said, are vot-
ing to reject the White system.
Considerable bitterness has entered
into the protest of the conductors
against the new checking system. The
conductors state that they do not OBJ
ject to a checking system such as
they designate and approve, but that
they object to being checked by a
foreign company and under the White
system in particular.
The railway company, it is under
stood. has taken the position that it
has a right to have the check made
by any concern selected, provided the
conductors are treated fairly; and
that the company now is checking it's
conductors as business proposition,
Just as all railroads and other con-
Germs check employees filling import
ant positions.
Under the White system, which is
operated on 23 lines throughout the
country, the conductors are checked
periodically by auditors, just as agents
and other employees of the railroad are
checked.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Punta Gorda People in Poor
Health Without Knowing the
Cause

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness, Ian
guor and depression. Perhaps
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of filtering the blood
and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You can
use no more highly recommended
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills
endorsed by people all over the
country and by your neighbors in
Punta Gorda.
Mrs. w. II. Walters, Goldstein
ST., Punta Gorda, says: 81 had
a severe case of kidney and blad-
der complaint. My right kidney
panied me so severely that it drew
my body to one side and for two
weeks ! was unable to straighten.

Synopsis of Weather and Crop
Conditions in Florida for the
Week ending August 20, 1916

The week was drier than usual
over the northern, most of the
central, all of the western, and
much of the southern divisions !:
The dry, sunshiny weather was
verv f-arable for cotton picking
hollis are opening rapidly, and
picking is active over most OF the
belt. The weather is ideal for the
harvesting of hay and other crops.
The dry weather is being seri-
.ouol-- felt, however, over portions
of the citrus belt, especially in the
central division. Locally, there
were beneficial rains on several
days in some central counties, and
on the lower west coast; also, a.
long the east coast from Brevard
to Palm Beach Counties. On the
Goth and 9th, Fellsmere recorded
"a; Georgiana. 1t; Hypeluxo, l.
o; Titusville, LIS, and Ft, Myers,
on the West Coast, 10 inches.
Seed beds, fall truck, and citrus
fruits would be favorably affected
by more rains over most of the
section. Peanuts are generally
good; also cane, except locally in
the northern division, where it is
below the average. The sweet po-
tato crop win be good, as whole,
but there are some localities where
dry weather will result in a short
age. The week was moderate as
regards temperature.-A.G G. NIT
