TEUTON RAIDER OFF BRAZIL
Officers of American Steamer sa,
They Saw Her.

They Saw Her.
An Atlantic Port, Oct. 4.-Officers of
an American steamer here reported
sighting what they believed to be
German raider off the Brazilian coast
recently. When first seen the ship
appeared to be three masted schoon-
er in distress, but as the American
boat appeared she made off under
auxiliary power. The officers said the
strange ship flew no flag, and had her
decks piled with lumber, an odd deck
house and a dummy funnel.

HUMOR FROM OVER WATER
Some Samples That Seem to Disprovs
SngIishmen Have No Sense
of Wit.

We spoke last Sunday of the Pail
Mall Gazette's funny column. Mr.. C.
e. Jerningham's "Maxims Of Marina
duke gives a more cheerful view OF
English wit and humor. Here are
two or three samples:
Almost every Englishman imag'
ines he is moral because he objects
to immortality-in Others"
He who is drunk in first-class
carriage has had fit; he who has had
a fit in a third-class carriage is
drunk"
"Man-a biped with prejudices-
which he calls principles"
Here is quotation from woman
as Work of Art:
"Since her return rom the restorers
at Homburg Mrs. Bias, as we ex'
pected she would, greatly improved.
We are now able to detect the delicate
coloring and the elaborate workman
ship which were before obscured by
unnecessary varnish. In Mrs. B.
the nation has secured an important
example of the New York school. She
possesses considerable freedom o.
style, but her middle distance is
tride pompous. "--Boston Herald.

ton in the production of forage
for your own use.
With a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull all together, I feel that
the Indians will play a large and
important part in the economic
history of the nation during this
period of war stress.
Bread and..meat are an essential
factor in this dreadful emergency
and I am extremely anxious that
the Indians shall fully demonstrate
their. devotion to our country and
their capacity for industrial &C
complishment, as we'll as other
wise should circumstances require.
The success Of our efforts in this
respect will depend very largely
upon the capacity, aggressiveness,
and diligence of the superintend-
ents having immediate supervis-
ion. Report progress from time
to time by letter and do not per-
NIT any let-up in this campaign. :"

Production Of fo!odStufs
By the Indians,

Hon. Cato Sells, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, under recent
date has issued the following cir
cular letter to all superintendent
throughout the Indian service:
II am much. gratified at the
prompt and enthusiastic response
to my telegram of April 8, urging
increased production of foodstuffs
by the Indians. Plans are already
under way on practically every
reservation. This campaign must
be aggressively followed up by
every means within our reach.
The exact methods to be followed
will depend upon the conditions
on each reservation and upon the
superintendent ingenuity in de-
vising ways apd means.
AS stated in my telegram the
war situation makes it imperative
that every tillable acre Of land be
intensively cultivated. With the
entry of the United States into the
world war the Importance of an
increased food supply cannot be
Over-estimated. We must sacrifice
every non-essential along other
lines for this supreme object. The
Service farmers should get into
the field early and stay late, en-
couraging and assisting the In
dams in every way possible. En-
list the cooperation of the lessees
of Indian land and of the white
farmers in the vicinity. This ap-
peal is based on both economic and
patriotic grounds. See that. it is
brought home to every employee
and Indian on the reservation,
through the farmer and other in
dustrial employees. Publish it in
the school and agency papers and
circulate it by every other means
which may occur to you. Appeal
to the patriotism of the Indians.
Show how they can serve their
country effectively in the present
emergency by exert:ng themselves
to the utmost in the production of
foodstuffs. While my telegram
mentioned fuodstuffs, particularly
wheat. beans, potatoes, corn and

"MANANA..

It is commonly said of some of our
friends and neighbors that they are
always Giving in the future" By this
is meant their evident willingness to
do some good thing in the days to
come, their ready response to all
things not due and payable now, their
shiftless expenditure of what they
have at. hand in the expectation of q
future gold mine, and their general
habit, like "Micawber," of waiting for
something to turn up in the mysteri-
Gus and unfathomable years to come,
which will pan out well for them and
make life grand roadbed of ease.
1t is therefore necessary, often
times, to call the attention of folks,
and especially young folks, to the
importance of living in the present,
and Of not losing their opportunities
in the dreams of what the future may
possess. Ten to one the man who is
always about to land wonderful
dream never gets any closer to it as
the years roll by. He pursues the
phantom all his life and at the end
he understands that he lost by not
grasping the small opportunities OF
+ the DAYS which were at hand. Those
who do well in life are steady accum-
ulators; they are not in the class OF
the ones who wait until tomorrow to
begin their saving, nor do they eat
at the same table with the boys who
intend to save when the wages are
raised. The man who arrives in bus
mess way is the man who saves some
today and more tomorrow.
If you must live in the future, let
that part of your living be its extrav-
agance, its pleasure, its useless ex-
penditures and frivolities, because to-
day is the time you must use to pre-
pare for. the days, which all hope may
not come, but which in each life ha7
come.

SACRIFICE EVERYTHING
FOR GERMANY'S DEFEAT

Most Of the people do not realize
just what German kultur means. They
feel, sometimes, that it is asking a
great deal to have to contribute to
Liberty loan bonds, Red Cross funds
and now the big Y. NJ. c. A. fund. 1t
is asking considerable. It is almost
going the limit, but it must be done.
The American soldiers cannot do their
duty and crush the Hun unless they
are, themselves, properly cared for.
Those who are asked to give are not
asked to die for their country. This
is the soldiers lot, He bares his
breast to the enemies of his home
land.
The government furnishes the sol
der his food, clothing, training, trans
portaticn, pay, medical service, lodg-
ing and chance to fight. The people
must pay for his amuse;nents. It will
cost considerable to pay for the
amusements of the American soldiers;
bat they are our boys! If we do not
amuse them so as to keep thena fit;
if they fail to win the war because Of
our failure to do our duty by them.
we will pay for the amusement of the
Huns!

Generals Won Kries and Won Kissing
have made this boast. The cities and
towns have been robbed of all their

money to fight good fight, but it viii

the most patriotic.

COOPERATION
IS THE" WORD

The bushes men of this city have
signed a call in today's issue of The
Leader for the people doing credit
business here to get together on Fri
day evening at 7:30 o'clock, Nov. 9
for the purpose of discussing the prop
osition of organizing a credit mems
association.
Nothing better can be done by those
who extend credit than to go into this
movement with determination to get
the best organization possible and to
create it on such a fashion that it will
prove of real benefit to its members.
Of course, there are those who will
not join. Some people will knock it
and say that they can take care OF
their own credit accounts. This is
true; if they wish to continue under
the present system, all right.
What the men who signed the call
want is to get some agency whereby
they can place the extension of credit
on a basis of merit. As it is today, A
extends credit to a man whose record
at different places in the city is not
known, but Mr.. A wants all the good
business he can get. He asks the APP
plicant where he works, when is his
payday, etc., and the account is open
ed. For some time everything goes
well. After a while Mr.. A notes that
the account has a little balance and
the balance grows larger from time
to time, until the man gets "discour-
aged" if you please, and commences
to complain about the service and
the prices, etc. First thing Mr.. A
knows the fellow has gone to some
other place with his trade, say to Mr..
B. He tells Mr.. B that Mr.. A was so
high in price that he has got to find
another place. Now Mr.. A is holding
the bag, as it were. He hopes to col
lect the money due him and hates to
tell Mr.. B that this man owes him
money on an old account.
There is simply no systematic meth
cd Of ascertaining the records of peo-
pie who are in the habit of leaving
accounts unsettled, who are constitu-
tionally opposed to paying what they
owe to this dry goods merchant or
that groceryman.
To be sure the nature of ones bus
mess has something to do with the
credit losses sustained, but all men do
ing credit business can help in max
ing a better credit business in this
city by joining in and showing spir-
it of cooperation. 1t is at least fair
to ask and expect all to come out when
the proposition is to be discussed from
every angle.
Tarpon Springs has a great future
before it---why can't the business men
get together and form credit asso-
citation that will surely help to do
away with some, not all, of the dead
beats.
