ZEPPELIN RAID
OYER ENGLAND
Biggest Yet Undertaken by Ger
man Aircraft
FIFTY FOUR WERE KILLED
Reports are to the Effect that Six
or Seven Airships Passed Over
Middle Country - Land Opera
tions Orershadowed

London, England Fifty-four
persons were killed and sixty
seven injured in Monday nights s
Zeppelin raid. Little informa-
tion has been given to the public
by the war office concerning the
raid.
Newspapers comment at length
upon Monday nights Zeppelin
raids but no official details have
been made public in addition to
the war office statement to the eff
feet that six or seven airships
passed over the eastern, north
eastern and midland counties of
England, dropping bombs.
The London Globe says it
would appear that the ostensible
object of Monday nights raid
was an attack upon certain mu-
nitions factories.
Most papers agree in urging re-
Iprisals,
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"Londoners instinctively knew
that raid was going on last
night and the theatres suffered by
the return of number Of tickets
though no sounds came within
London s listening ears. /"
The Evening News points out
that this raid was the largest
which has yet occurred, so far as
the number of Zeppelins is con-
cerned.
What is believed to have been
an attempt at third air raid on
Paris within three days was foil
ed by the lookouts on the French
front, according to Paris advices.
Naval and aerial activities ov-
for the moment interest
in land operations, regarding
which important new develop
ments are lacking. The Caucas-
us campaign is a fruitful field
just now for interesting reports.
and the situation at Erzerum is,
according to one of these reports,
more serious for the Turks than
previous advices have indicated.
There are said to be $4,000 men
under Field Marshal Won Der
Goltz locked up in the city with
only two weeks provisions ON
hand.

CONVENTION TO BE
HELD In TAMPA
In the Interest of the Cattle In
dustry of Florida
Will BE IMPORTANT AFFAIR
Authorities on Cattle Raising to
Attend from Many Sections OF
the United States-Every Coun-
ty Should be Represented

On Monday and Tuesday, Feb,
ruary the 7th and 8th, there will
be held in the City of Tampa, a
Cattle Conference. AT this Inn
portant meeting there will be
present men from many sections
of the United States and several
foreign countries, who are inter-
ested in the growing of livestock.
AS the Commissioner of Agri-
culture Of Florida, | have given
special attention for two years to
farming and stock raising. This
campaign started with one hum
dred letters addressed to the var
ious stock (cattle) exchanges, in
dividuals and companies, and to
stock journals, in which letters
was set forth the advantages of
Florida as an agricultural and
stock raising state. / made the
statement that Florida could easi-
ly be made to support ten million
head of cattle on her ranges, and
that the cattle should be finished
for slaughter at home. That it
was a crime to send the cattle
from the state to be finished for
the market, also stated that
livestock of all kinds could be
raised as cheap in florida as in
any country in the world, and |
am sure the claim is not over
drawn.
To impress upon the people of
Florida the Importance both of
this question and the convention
as well, the following statement
of the work of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture is offered:
During the month of December
alone, there were 1850 packages
of matter mailed out of the ,Agri-
cultural and Immigration Divis-
ion of this Department. OF the
above 1,045 packages related to
livestock production and kindred
subjects; sos of these packages
covered general questions of ag-
riculture and horticulture. These
packages contained 1880 pieces
of mail matter covering a little
more than 10000 subjects.
Of the 1850 packages above
referred to, 1862 packages aggre-
eating 3,258 pieces relating to

Health Agencies Working
to Prolong Human Life

| The United States Public
Health Service and the various
health agencies of this country
are working to prolong the aver
age duration of life. In this they
are obeying the desire for exist
ence which is the strongest in
stinct of mankind. Only a small
proportion of the human race
rounds out it's tour of duty on
this earth. Some people are born
with good bodies which they
treat well. Barring accidents,
they live a long time. Some peo-
lple are born with poor bodies
which they treat well. Barring
accidents, they can live to ripe
old age. Some people are born
with good bodies which they treat
badly and some people are born
with poor bodies which they treat
badly. They don't last long.
1t is recorded that in Yorkshire
in 1901, Henry jenkins was born.
He died in 1910, cut off at the age
of 169 He remembered well the
battle of Flodden Field. This oc-
cured in 1913, when he was IL
years Of age. The Register of
Chancery and other courts show
the administration of oaths to
him 140 years prior to his death.
He gave deposition as witness
when he was 1871 In his young
manhood, when he was little ov-
er 100, he was a remarkable
swimmer.
The term cold age" too fre-
quently is another name for the
falling due of the debts of youth.

playing, over-working-these are

The Case of Mr.. Bob White
The Friend of the Farmer

Mr.. Bob White. of Everywhere
after working faithfully all sum
mer in the farmers fields and po
tato patches to rid them of boil
weevils and chinch-bugs, potato
bugs and ncxious weeds, is now
hiding to save his life from the
greedy American hunter.
No more does he care to send
his clear, cheerful "bob-bob.
white" across the sunny summer
fields to his working mates. The
feathered toilers who survive the
awful onslaught of singing shot
and yelping dogs as they run
hither and thither seeking some
place of safety, call but family
and tremulously to their frighten-
ed companions, "Quiet, quiet,
quiet. +"
In some states the greedy ones
are trying to declare a migratory
bird law recently passed "uneon-
stitutional. +" A few states still
have no state laws to protect their
game from being ruthlessly
slaughtered for market at any
and all times of the year.
The COW which has provided
food for your family through
long years, the horse which has
toiled for you many weary sea-
sons, are tenderly cared for in
their old age. But your most
tireless and cheerful helpers, who
saved your crops that make food
and provide every comfort for
your family, that worked most
faithfully for what little they
could eat, now that they can no
longer serve you are left to starve
or to become the prey of their
enemies.

Mr.. Edmonds might properly
have restricted his remarks to ap-
ply to South Florida all that
portion Of the state south of Ced-
ar Key and Gainesville on the
west coast and south Of Sanford
and Daytona on the east coast, for
that comprises the real Florida.
North of the points named, the
state has no tropical or semi-trop-
ical features, and it resembles
southern Georgia and Alabama
more than it does southern Flori-
ola. The winter garden of Amer
lea is here in the south, particu-
larly along the Gulf Coast, where
both climate and soil contribute
to the production throughout the
winters not only of all tropical
fruits, but of everything in the
vegetable line. A great advan-
tage of this region is the artesian
water supply, which not only
adds to the health of the people,
but furnishes the most inexpen-
sive means of irrigation, thereby
certain the production of
the vegetable and fruit crops

Many people are probably not
aware of the fact that there are
more military pensioners in Flori-
da alone than there are in all the
countries outside the United
States. The number of pension
ers in the state is 1850, and they
receive the sum of $1,027 ,368.89.
In seventy-two foreign countries,
4,642 persons drew pensions for
military services rendered, and
the amount paid to them during
the fiscal year 1915 was $945, ,22O.-

Ii you were troubled with dis
eases in any crop last year it will
be well to write the Experiment
Station of the University of Flor
ida at Gainesville and learn the
trouble if possible. Preventive
measures for many diseases must
be taken weeks before the dis
ease appears. 1t is often too late
after the disease begins work.

Some forms of economy are ex-
pensive. One man can do about
twice as much plowing with a
two-horse, as he can with one
horse, plow. The same is true of
cultivating. A two-horse culti-
vator will cover more land and do
it better than some of the primi-
tive implements that are used.

Villas PROPOSAL.

The impudenee of Francisco Villa in
proposing conference with the United
States is altogether characterize of the
man. He is not supposed to be deficient
in the sense of humor, and vet he seri-
ousiy suggests that this government ar
range parley between himself and the
American military commander on the
score that he is in control of northern
Mexico, and therefore a power to be
recognized. He ignores the fact that
American troops are now in Mexico I'M
der basic instructions to "get Villa"
and that although their active efforts
have been suspended pending an adjust
ment of relations with the de facto gov
eminent the desire of the United States
to secure the person of the bandit who
raided Columbus Hast spring remains I'M
diminished. To parley with Villa as an
authority in control of northern Mexico
would, of course, stultify the United
States in its assumption of the right to
protect itself even to the extent of send
ing forces into a neighboring state after
criminals.
Yet it cannot be gainsaid that Villa
is virtually in control Of northern Mex
leo, at least negatively. He has set the
orgc nized government at defiance, and

has raided cities and towns at will. He
has killed many people, captured much
loot, and appears to be capable of elud-
II all pursuit and of striking telling
blows about wherever and whenever he
wishes. His successes have given him a
perhaps exaggerated sense of his prowess
and Importance, as indicated by his
present proposition to meet a repre-
sentative of the United States on equal
terms.
Meanwhile the conference with rep
resentatives of the CarranZa governpent
is making no progress. The protocol re-
Gently agreed upon has been sent to
Mexico for consideration by the first
chief and has been returned, with re
suits not vet disclosed. The United
States continues to pay out heavy sums
for the maintenance of a large force on
the border and in Mexico itself, while
Villa grows stronger and conditions
grow worse. Just how much longer this
condition can prevail without disaster is
for no man to foretell. and American
patience would be sorely strained were
it not for the fact that this is but con-
tinuation of conditions that have been
endured for several years and to which
the public seems to have become callous.
