Miami Metropolis: Due promi-
hence should be given to the fact that
the National Biscuit Company bought
$5,OOO,OOO worth of Liberty Bonds.
All five cent packages of this COM
pany's product have been increased
to eight cents and all ten cent pack
ages have been increased to fifteen
cents. On a million boxes of the five
cent goods this represents an in
crease Of $4,000. On a million boXe,
of the ten cent goods this represents
an increase of $4,000. So after all.
the homes of the United States where
the convenient National Biscuit have
become a standard part of the days
provisions were the ones that paid for
those five million dollars worth of Lib
erty Bonds which are registered in
the name of the biscuit company and
which will earn that patriotic concern
interest at the regular three and a
half per cent rate! A hundred per
cent increase on the price of crack
erss gives opportunity to buy many
Liberty Bonds.

Regular Army Recruits Still Needed.

A great many people are under the
impression that Recruiting for the
Regular Army will be discontinued
after July LIST. This is not the
case-men are needed and more
earnestly urged to enlist now than
ever before.
Enlistments may now be made in
the Infantry, Field Artillery or Medi-
cal Department, and it is well worth
the time of any young man OF mill
tary age to personally investigate the
unusual opportunities now being Of
fered in the above branches. Join
the Regular to-day and be the first
to see active service in France. All
vacancies for commissions after Sep
TENDER 1st will be filled from the
Ranks.
Don't be a "Slacker'-be a soldier
by choice rather than necessity-"Be
went, not a sent" If you are a
true, patriotic, red blooded Ameri-
can you will respond to Uncle Sans
call and help to win the worlds
greatest struggle for Democracy
The greater the number of enlist
ments from a town or county the
fewer the number to be drafted.
Florida is leading all Southern States
in enlistments according to popula-
ton Do your duty, young man, and
she will continue to lead. Enlist to-
day.
Postmasters will continue to re-
ceive their usual bonus for all recruits
procured by them.

BAD DAY FOR BOOZE.
Mash lille Banner.)


Nineteen states in which the saloon
has been outlawed will also on July
l be protected by Federal law from
liquor advertisements and from all
forms Of solicitation of orders by
mail. Five more states will step
within the pale by the close of next
year. In a number of counties in 9TH
erwise wet" states the same law up
plies. Tennessee is not in this list,
which only includes states where by
state law it is unlawful to advertise
the liquor business or to solicit orders.
In these states there will in a Few
years be many of the rising genera
ton of boys and girls who will know
of the saloon only by hearsay and to
whom the sight of an advertisement
of intoXicants will be a curiosity.
Not only are circulars barred from
these states, but newspapers, maya
zines and periodicals carrying liquor
advertisements are shut out. This is
not such a hardship as it might SEEM,
for nearly all reputable magazines
and the great majority of newspa-
pers of wide circulation have already
excluded liquor advertisements. In
the case of publications which still
permit such advertisements to appear
in their columns it is possible to Gift
out the advertising Of tear out the
pages for that part of the issue
which is intended for the barred zone.
The following are the states from
which this kind of advertising will be
entirely excluded from and after July
|: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Col
orado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Maine,
Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carroll
ma, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Carolina, Virginia, Washington
and West Virginia.
The law forbidding advertising in
states where the soliciting by mail of
orders for liquors is under the ban
was passed in the form Of an amend
ment to the postoffce appropriation
bill approved March 3.
Another and more important pro-
vision of the same amendment is
known as the "bone dry" law. This
clause prohibits the importation of Ii
quors into any state or territory
where the manufacture and sale of in
toxic. ting liquors>is prohibited by
state law. This section of the amend
ment puts "teeth" into the prohibit
ton laws of the states where liquor
is 'outlawed.
All things considered, July will
be "Black Letter" day for the IL
quor business in the United States.

Times Require Common Sense-

Miami Metropolis: When a feder-
al judge in West Florida discovered
that a number of defendants held on
charges of illicit distiIling were farm
ers whose crops needed attention, he
let the entire batch go on bond in
order that they might harvest their
corn and their hay and everything
else that can be added to the ma
TONS food supplies from their farms
between now and cold weather when
they will return for trial on the moon
shine charge. This is the sort of
administration that requires good
common sense as well as legal lore.

Our Troops in France.

The curtain of censorship lifts long
enough to let us glimpse the disem-
barkment of the second contingent of
American troops to set foot on
French soil By what route they
went at what port they arrived, in
what numbers and with what convoy
are matters which for obvious reasons
cannot yet be made public. But one
circumstance is shiningly apparent:
the arrival of the Americans awake
tumultuous enthusiasm.

the county clerk of Manatee county, a

Gov. Cats may be justified in all
these suspensions. Unless he is JUS

when it meets two years hence, his
action will prove very expensive to
the counties and to the state, as, I'M

No Primary Law Needed

Ocala Star: Speaking of the pri-
mary law, a prominent lawyer of this
city, says there shouldn't be any.
He says that every party should make
its own rules and conduct it's own
primaries and conventions. He re-
fers to the fact that the democratic
party of Florida coducted the first
primaries without any trouble before
the legislature interfered. It's the
Stars opinion that he is correct. We
don't see why the legislature should
make rules for primaries any more
than for prayer meetings. Next

Governor Strikes Snag-

Governor Strikes Snag-
Lakeland Telegram: The Governor
has summarily fired A. L. Messer,
State Hotel Commissioner, iustifying
his act by the usual charge of NAL
feasance and misfeasance in office,
and, as usual, giving no instances of
official misconduct and no opportuni~
ty for hearing or word of defence.
Of course, the whole truth is that the
Governor wants Messer's job for one
Jerry Carter, political henchman.
Messer is not as complacent as some
of Cats other victims and will fight
his removal in the courts. The fact
that F. M. Hudson and other reputa-
BILE members of the legal profession
have taken the case would indicate
that the Governor has struck a snag.
