SOCIALIST SAYS WILSON Is
THE ENEMY OF LABOR

New York, Sept. 29.-Allen l.. Ben
son, nominee of the socialist party
for president, addressing two meet
ings of socialists in Brooklyn tonight,
accused President Wilson of being an
enemy to labor and declared that no
issue is too dead for Charles E.
Hughes, the republican nominee for
president. to reveiye.
president Wilson calls himself the
friend of the working man. Mr.. Ben
son said. "He cannot be a friend be-
cause he is your enemy. In years
past when Mr.. Wilson was president
of Princeton University and when he
did not need your votes he devoted
some of his fine English to the tell
ing Of what monstrous institutions
labor unions are. He has now reach
ed a situation when he no longer talks
that way. He now poses as a friend
of labor. If he was a friend of labor
he would use his influence to protect
the life and property of the working
man. He has not done this"
Mr.. Benson said the only act of the
presiderr that can be construed as
friendly to the working man is the
passage of the S-hour law.
Unfortunately" he said, this bene
fits only 10000 railroad employees. If
Mr.. Wilson is such a good friend Il
labor why didn't ne do the same for
all classes of working men as he die
TO the railroad men?"

Roofing

protects our buildings from the violence Of storms; success
fully resists the attacks of rain, hail, seet and snow; is
unaffected by the sharp assaults of frost, and the whitening fire
of MD Summers sun. 1t even ~withstands the ravages of time,
for CE~RTAIN-TEED Roofing is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS
years, according to ply Il, 2 or -. Experience proves that
it will out-last the period Of guarantee.
The long life of C~ERTAIN-TEED is due to the fact that it
does not dry out, as ordinary roofing does. This is because It's
made Of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with
a blend of softasphalts-the formula of the Generals Board OF
Expert Chemists. Tkis soft saturation IS then covered with a
coating of a harder blend Of asphats, which prevents t~hedrying-
out process, and keeps CERTAIN-TEED impervious to the
clements for years after the harder, drier kinds Of roofing have
dried out and gone.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-syrfaced
shingles. There is type of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing for
every kind of building, with fiat or pitched roofs, from the
largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence Or out-building.
CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers all over the

MEDICAL PRESCRIPTIONS
BY WIRELESS

A new use for wireless biography
is reported from North Carolina
The wireless station at Cape Hat
teras the other day picked up mes
sage stating that there was a baby
critically ill on a ship several hum
dred miles away, and the ships doc
tor had been unable to do anything
for it, The message gave the baby's
SYMPTOMS, and asked that some good
physician be asked to prescribe for
it,
The operator got in touch with a
doctor. obtained the desired pre-
scrirtion and flashed it into the
ether. And few hours later came
another message bringing the pleas
ant news that the prescribed treat
ment had been followed and the
child's condition had already i'm
proved so that it was considered out
of danger.
There have been greater radio
triumphs than this, particularly in
bringing rescue to burning vessels
at sea. But it would be hard to find
a case making a stronger human APP
peal. 1t is magic, sure enough, in
comparison with which all the ma
giciar's work maeined in the mid
die ages seems trivial and unimpres-
sive
And it is another proof of the
scientists assertion that wireless de.
velopment has taken all isolation out
of the world Whether far at sea
or il the midst of desert or on a
barely accessible mountain top, II
there is a wireless station anywhere
within reaching distance one is in
touch with the whole world.-Jack-

SHELL FISH COMMISSIONER
A BUSY MAN

Just arriving from Boca Grande
and points along the lower West
Coast, Shell Fish Commissioner T. R.
Hodges is enjoying a brief stay in
st. Augustine. Upon arriving here
he was met by one of the State pa
troll boats, the Sea Foam. He will
proceed Monday to Fernandina, and
will later come back to Mayport.
From thence he will go up the St.
Johns river as far as Sanford, it hav-
ing recently been decided by the at
torney general that the fisheries
along the st. Johns are under the
control of the State of Florida. The
Sea Foam will then proceed on down
the East Coast to Key West. On
the West Coast the larger and newer
patrol boat, the Roamer, is kept
busy enforcing the fish laws and as a
result there has been great i'm
provement in conditions and at the
same time the fish industry of the
State is being carefully conserved
Mr.. Hodges is essentially a man of
action, and he has demonstrated be-
yond all question chat his appoint
ment to this very important posi-
ton has been a most happy one
He is gradually overcoming the mis-
taken ideas of many with regard to
State regulations in connection with
the fishing industry, but the cam
paign of education will undoubtedly
take some considerable additional
time. His department is more than
self-sustaining and. therefore, is no
expense upon the State.-St. Angus

GRAPEFRUIT IS PROFITABLE

A gentleman said to the News re-
porter few days ago, 81 am a care
full reader of your paper, and regard
all that you say in regard to the
possibilities of Southern Florida as
being stated most conservatively, in
deed l believe all your statements
can he easily verified" The gentle
man is correct. We make no state
ments that we do not know person.
ally to be true, or that are not made
by men in whom every one has the
highest confidence.
While out yesterday the reporter
interviewed a gentleman who has
grove, planted partly to orange trees
and rarity to grapefruit trees. He
has sold his grapefruit and told us
the results of his sales. His grape
fruit trees are ten years old, and he
said these averaged him a little over
$1,000 per tree for this years fruit.
Counting fifty trees to the acre, this
makes an income of $500 on each
acre set to grapefruit. The cost of
fertilizer and other expenses did not
exceed $4,000 per acre, thus leaving
a clear profit at the rate of $4,000
per acre. But you should bear in
mind this is not his first crop. for
two years ago this same grove
brought him a little over $4,000
per tree. and even last year, the
worst ever known in the history of
citrus fruit culture, the grapefruit
averaged nearly $1,000 per tree.
This is by no means an isolated
case. for it is not an uncommon
thing for groves to do even better
than the above. OF course not all
groves have any such bearing ca
pacity, but everything considered.
we believe the business will not only
compare favorably with other en-
beavers. but that it presents the best
opportunities for safe and profitable
investments that can be found any,
where, north or south.-Arcadia

New York, Jan. 10.-With the
revival of boxing at Harvard, east
ern college sparrers are looking for
ward to the formation of an inter-
collesiate boxing league. The pro-
ject has been considered several
times in the past but never went
beyond the discussion stage. The
faculties at the few institutions
where glove competition is permit
ted, frowned upon the plan although
the boxing coaches warmly advocat-
ed the proposition and pointed out
that the famous English UNIVERSE
ties, Oxford and Cambridge sane
toned an annual meeting between
the best boxers in all classes of the
two universities and that althoug h
knockouts occasionally occurred the
inter-varsity sport was exceedingly
popular among the students and ap-
parently without bad effects.

NO ROAD TAX VOTED IN Dlac
 COUNTY. Fs

Through an oversight of { Election Commissioners [ I Road Tax question was left te the ticket at the last electio C and 1t now seems evident tha | after the coming year, this coui ty will have no road funds unt another election is held.
 This was a most unfortunate oversight, since the improve meut of the roads mean so much to the prosperity of the country, and the convenience and pleas ure of the inhabitants.
 If Amendment No IA had car ried, 1t would not have been 50 bad, as we could have organized under that Amendment and built good roads by means of issuing bonds, but 1t seems likely, now, that the Good Roads Amend ment was defeated, in the state. Unless something better can be solved, our roads will only re. ceive the work of free labor, which is wholly inadequate for the purpose of making good roads.
 Under the Alexander Act, inl provement districts can be form. ed and good roads built, but this now ssems the only legal saliva. tion for the county. However, it IS to be hoped that some plan will be hit upon to keep up the work of bettering the condition of the public roads. for there is nothing that adds more to the prosperity of country than good roads, and nothing that sets a country back more than the lack of them.
 The failure to vote the tax IS a blow to the ewlv elected over. seers, as 1t will deprive them ot their salaries.
