STRIKERS IGNORE
 REQUEST TO MEDIATE
LONGSHOREMEN TO CONTINUE STRIKE UNTIL EMPLOYERS
 GRANT DEMAND

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-lnstead of a settlement of the differences be- tween the strikers and the employers as some had expected yesterday. the situation remained unchanged this In point of fact, conciliation appears farther than ever, according to a report from the headquarters of the strikers. It was reported that at a meeting held last evening, res olution was adopted whereby the re- quest for mediation is to be ignored and the strike continued until the em- ployers grant the men their demand.
 Today the employers are holding a meeting at which the question as to whether strike-breaRers will be em- ployed, will be settled. It is thought that non-union men will start to work within the next twentyfour hours.

GERMAN RAIDER
 IS DEMOLISHED
DISGUISED AS NORWEGIAN SHIP, BUT IS DISCOVERED AND
 BLOWN UP

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-That the Moewe was not the only German raider on the high seas and that some of them had been peppered by British guns, and that at least one of them was blown to pieces was stated yesterday by F w Bingham, veal
 thy Englishman, here on his way home from the Far East
 Quite recently he said, "an inno- cent looking merchantmen flying the Norwegian flag was noticed off the English coast, close to the guns of a British fortress, By means of sig nals, the vessel, which proved to be a German raider towing submarine, was told that a boat would be sent out to examine her papers.
 When the boat with the examining officers approached the ship, the raid CT opened fire. The guns of the fort ress blazed and the German ship was blown to pices. Then the submarine was discovered and captured

GOVERN MENT IS
 GETTING GENEROUS
WILLING TO GIVE US A CHANCE TO GIVE IT OUR
 TREASURE

Larger postal savings will now be accepted at the post office. This is made possible by an important amen dment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by President Wilson. A postal savings depositor may now have an account amounting to $1,000 upon which interest will be paid. For merly $500 was the maximum amount he could have to his credit. This en- will be very gratifying to thousands of depositors who have already reach ed the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savnigs to Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public and to postal officials is doing away with the limit on the amount that could be ac- cepted from a depositor monthly.
 Under the old law only $1OO could be deposited in a calendar month The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the postal savings system has already proved signal of success as shown by the fact that more than half-a million depositors have over eghty million dollars standing to their credit, still it hasfallen short of meet in the full demands of the public be-
 cause of restrictions which have now been eliminated Postmaster General Burleson and Third Assis- tant Postmaster General Dockery have been tireless in their efforts to secure modification of the limita- tions and the new liberalizing legis- lation is particularly gratifying to them-From news bulletin issued by post office department.

New Use For AeropIanes

Sending supplies to an isolated mine by aeroplane is the latest adap- tion of aerial transport Aeroplane service to the Dolly Warden Mine in the Alice Arm district of British Columbia prevented a shut down, threatened by exhaustion of supplies, due to the unusually prolonged winter the Dolly Warden mine is benig ren- dered under contract by the Califor mia Aeroplane Co at a cost of $500 a month and provides, according to the Spokesman review of May IT, for an average of two round trips daily be- tween the company's wharf on Alice Arm, a branch of Observatory Inlet, and the mine which is distant about If miles from tidewater. Supplies to the amount of 500 pounds are to be conveyed to the mine on each trip The Dolly Warden is a rich silver-lead mine, a"d it is now proposed that shipments of ore, carefully selected on account of high silver content may be 1ade by the same method on return trips With the great devel- opment cf aviation, aerial transport is destined to be an importnt aid to the mining industry. In case of "stampedes' to new finds, an aero planewould give it's owner a great ad- vantage over ordinary mixers" and it seems certain that nj a few years supplies viii be regularly carried by aeroplanes to many isolated mines It may sm to the Spokesman Review ba, 1t uoesn't. to us.-Mining Journal

GET BUSY!

The loss Of the Taliami Trail to this
section would be calamitous, and II
would forever cut this end Of the dis
trict from any Of the mail public lines
Of travel. The question is in the
hands Of the citizens Of the affected
territory.
While we want the lower end Of the
county to have the Tamiami Trail,
and all the good things that their en-
ergy and get-up makes them heir TO,
yet we want the Trail to come via Ar
cadia. and unless some steps are
promptly taken, II will never do It.
In conversation with a prominent
citizen Of District No. 2 last niht, he
expressed the opinion that territory
on that side Of the river could be
formed into a bond district, and would
support bonds to construct hard sur
faced roads from the line Of District
No. ON the north to Acadia; from
Lily TO Limestone; from Peace river
through Pine Level to the Manatee
county line, and from Peace river TO
some point in the owens section. He
further stated that he would gladly
support proposition that would guar
antee to his people these roads, hut
that he preferred a separate bond dis
trict for this territory.
The people over there pay the
freight. and should nave just the
roads they want, but their interest de-
mands prompt action on the question.

REMARKABLE STATISTICS WITH
A MORAL.

What is known as the rate of NOR
tally at various ages is a most inter.
esting study. The great life insurance
companies Of the country compile
such statistics and accept risks on
healthy lives based ON these Stats
tics. One Of the most astonishing
facts in connection with these thor
oughly reliable statistics is that your
chances to live ten years longer are
better when you are 40 years old than
when you are only % years old. The
mortality rate as taken from great
life insurance company shows that
five men in 100 die between the ages
of 25 and 35, while it shows that on:
ly 1 in 100 die between the ages of 40
and %. Probably one of the causes
Of this remarkable condition is that
between the ages of 20 and 80 is
more prevalent season for Sowing
wild oats"

DISTRICT NO. 2
SHOULD JOIN Us FOR BONDS.

1t seems that the interests Of the
people of the sc cond district, just
across Peace river, would impell them
to join the pc ople Of district four ~
a good roads bond issue.
If, perchance, they prefer to be in
district to themselves, that would
be alright but construction should be-
gin simultaneous, with or before dis.
trict four.
Personally, we believe that the
bonds of the consolidated area could
he handled to better advantage than
IL No. were to cut of a small area
ana attempt to market the bonds. but
if the people Of district two desire
that procedure, it's their own affair.
The main proposition is, let us have
at least some main line hard-surfaced
roads leading to the prosperous cen
tiers Of district two, and to connect
with the Tamiami Trail at the Man
aztec county line. The interest Of the
people of that prosperous district de
mand something better than sand
streaks over which to haul their ever
increasing commodities to market.
Pine Level, Lily and Limestone should
all be connected with Arcadia by good
hard-surfaced roads.

ON CIGARETTE SMOKING.

The late Ebert Hubbard never
spoke greater words Of wisdom than
the following:
"As a close observer and employer
Of labor for over twenty-five years,
I give you this: Never advance the
pay of a cigarette smoker; never pro-
mote him; never trust him to carry a
roll to Garcia, unless you do not care
for Garcia and are willing to lose
the roll. Cigarette smoking begins
with an effort to be smart. 1t soon
becomes a pleasure, satisfaction.
and serves to bridge over a moment
Of nervousness or embarrassment.
Next it becomes a necessity Of life, a
fixed habit. This last stage soon
evolves into a third condition, stage
Of fever and unrestful, wandering
mind, accompanied by loss of moral
and mental control"
