Mrs. Albaugh's
Open Letter

Mr.. Editor
We wish to say that we enjoyed the
excellent talk at the theatre building
yesterday afternoon. While we all
read of the doings in France, yet it
is much more Impressive to hear from
one who has been there. And his
words ought to inspire us on, to do
more than we have been doing.
But we wish here to make an explain
alton so that the higher authorities Of
the A. r. C. may not be misunder-
stood.
The speaker referred to a stand the
Clearwater preachers had taken
against playing cards and tobacco be-
ing sent to our boys in France. He
called them narrow, ETC., and said:
"Send the boys cards; send the boys
tobacco"
If the audience had been informed
as to the real facts in the case there
would not have been such an enthus-
iastic applause. Here | will give a
quotation from the A. R. C. book of
instruction 165, Department of Mill
tary Relief, Bureau of r. c. Supply
Service. Approved by A. R. c. Page
8 under special directions, playing
cards and tobacco can not be sent to
France, not even in comfort bags, nor
can the American Relief. clearing
house, Paris, accept shipments of al
cohol."
So, after all, some of the good peo-
pie of Clearwater were only trying to
conform to instructions of the Rec
Cross authorities when they objected
to sending playing cards and tobacco
instead of being narrow.
| | doubt not that some of the boys
lin France use cards and find comfor
in them, but | am glad to know tha
lmany of our American boys take witt
them in heart and pocket the swort
of the Spirit WORD of God) which il
the hours of peril gives them the rea
comfort they need. We are so thank
lful for the grand work being done b,
the A. r. Cross and Y. M. G. A.
Mrs. A. P. Albaugh.

READ THE SANTA CLAUS LET
TIERS.

Everybody should read the letters
to Santa Claus, care of The Leader
from the children of Tarpon Springs
They are funny and will make you
laugh.
The Leader intends to give many
useful articles to those who are really
needy. 1t is impossible for US to
think of giving to all who have writ
ten letters asking for Christmas pres
ents. The parents of many of the
children can make their little ones
very happy by buying for them the
things they ask for in their letters to
The Leader.
The Leader will provide only for
those who the county probation officer
says are really in need.

BASKET BALL TONIGHT

Not discouraged by their defeat Sat-
urday night the Spongers will meet
the Southern college basketball team
tonight on the local court.
The boys earnestly request that ey-
eryone come if possible and if impos-
sible to attend buy a ticket anyway for
the team has had some heavy expense
of late and needs every bit of finan-
cial help possible. They are out to
give the public a good, clean sport
and desire little better patronage
than has been afforded them. Is cents
is all they ask. Everyone come out.

SPONGERS LOST GAME
HERE SATURDAY NIGHT

The Citrus high school basketball
team defeated the Spongers Saturday
night by the score of 38 to 25. The
visitors are fast bunch and the game
was hotly contested. There was con-
siderable dissatisfaction over the
refereeing. Mr.. Neate officiated at
first but was replaced by Prof. Will
liams of Inverness, whose decisions
are said to have been rotten toward
the close of the game.

. NEW PORT RICHEY j

. q . . : y = y y II y n y 4 r
New, Port. Richey, When Guy
Embrey wrote "Over the Top he had
no Idea that he was doing the best
selling book of the time and that he
was to make a phrase. wrold-wide, a
slogan, for millions upon millions of
men, in the trenches, on the battle
fields and in the homes and clubs.
"Over the Top" is the ambition of the
humble clerk, the artisan, the man and
woman in every walk of life; of clubs,
associations, war activities, and of
armies and nations.
Neither did Embrey dream that he
was to give this little town solar
plexus blow and cause the people
thereof to wonder and ponder where
they were at or what they were to
do under theYriircumstances.
It is this way:
Through the town of New Port
Richey flows the pellucid Pithlaschas-
cotee river. 1t is famed in history
and song. 1t is some stream, about
eight miles long. 1t is wide at its
mouth, where it empties into the gulf
or rather where the tide waters of
the gulf empty into it. But the stream
narrows in its upper reaches until one
can about jump across it, though it
maintains a depth sof about twenty
feet. The banks are lined with rank
tropical vegetation-palms and oaks,
moss covered, form a bower over the
waters. 1t is picturesque fascinating.
Painters and poets have raved about
it, while the kodaker goes into dis
traction over its possibilities had he
but the light to get the effects.
Embrey has associated this won
derful stream with the horrors Of
trench life.
Keep your seattle story will soon
be unfolded, la o. Henry.
The name of the river, Pithlaschas-
cotee, is Indian. Some believe that it
| is baseball English invented by Goode
Guerry when he was still young
man. The name was positively use
less. No one could pronounce it, and
it was not long enough to use to tie
| up boat to the landing.
So, at the suggestion Of the editor
of the Literary Digest, the name was
contracted to Cootee-and it is COM
monty known as The Cootee river-so
advertised, so referred to, and stands
as the Cootee except in government
reports.
"The Beauty of the Cootee," a song,
has had a wide sale. 1t bids to rank
with the Suwanee river dividing hon
ors with those black waters.
Now Embrey in "over the Top" tells
of minute animal life that makes life
unbearable for men in the trenches
The army louise simply covers the
bodies of the men-it is more dreaded
than poison gas. His story of tbs
louise gives one the creeps.
And what does he call them?
What do you think Why our weep
ing and gnashing of teeth? Why i
our pride stamped upon? Why, o
why?
Because Embrey, who made "ove
the top" famous over night in all tn
world, has dubbed the army louise a
"Cootees."
So. friends, come over and ride o.

SHE HURRIED
To SAFETY
IN CARY

While 1t is probably true that the
newspaper stories OF the recent fire
and it's attendant peril when the ben
zol plant of the Inland Steel company
was threatened. are stretched. yet in
vestigation made in the light OF sub
sequent and imprisoned perspective
shows that sthere were many citizens
Of Indiana Harbor were panic-striclen
when the news spread that the flames
were near that factory product prod
uct is supposed to be extremely ex-
plosive.
For instance, a lady was in Times
reporters office yesterday and she
frankly stated that she was one of
the number that hurriedly grabbed
what clothing she could carry. piled
into an automobile and hurried to-
wards Gary. She said that two fiat
buildings located and near 1925 Michi-
gan avenue were practically emptied
OF their tenants. who made haste as
best they could by machine and other
wise to get out of town with their eff
fects and their children.
This is only one specific instance. but
IL looks reasonable that there were
many such instances throughout that
part of the city.

With both the superior and federal

swamped with naturalization work It
was with difficulty that the demand
for permits to enter barred industrial

Deputy L. S. Marshal Cretors yester-
day received fifty applications from
Germans at the Standard OIL Company
plant at Whiting for permission TO
come and go within half a mile OF a
plant making supplies for the govern
ment and today received applica tons
from Germans at the Betz. Simplex,
Chaplin plants and the Hammond Dis
tillery, besides thirty at the office of
Charles Surprise. He left this after
noon for Indianapolis. More than thirty
Germans who sought to apply for the
permits which are TO be granted at
Washington were put off temporarily
owing to the press of business The
deputy was unable to care for them
now and will return 70 Hammond as
soon as possible to take up the work
where he left off today.
