NOMINATED
Nominations for the Various Elec- tue Offices in the Town of Hol- brook HaUe Been Made Elec- lion Occurs Monday, May 28.

for filing nomination papers by candidates for the various town offices, and enough candidates announced them selves to make the election an interesting one. The off cial printed ballot will con- tain the names of eight can didates for councilman, two candidates for clerk, two candidates for marshal and one candidate for street su- pervisor.
 The candidates for coun- cilman are J. w. Richards, P. T. Coleman, w. B. Woods, Geo. w. Hennessey, John Flanigan, c. P. Cooley, w. H. Chamberlin, and L. D. Divelbess.
 Mrs. Ruth Kelly and B. B. Neel were nominated for clerk.
 For marshal, L. F. Me Clanahan, present incum- bent, was nominated, and Jos. F. Woods was also mo- minated.
 For supervisor of streets, but one enomination was filed, that of w. G. Clemons, who was appointed to the place by the present council.
 But two of the members of the present council would consent to accept a nomina- ton to the office; these are J. w. Richards and P. T. Coleman. The other no- minees are all new men and plenty of choice is furnished the voters in making their selections.
 We are glad that the sug- gestion made last week in the News that a full set of candidates be placed in mo- imitation has been followed. This is especially gratifying because it is an acknowledge ment by the opponents of incorporation that they have abandoned their efforts to have the town disincorporat- ed, and that they will abide by the decision of the voters as to who shall conduct the affairs of the town for the next two years.
 Having won our fight to incorporate the town, and the fight to prevent it's dis incorporation; and likewise having had our suggestion to place a ticket in the field accepted by both sides, we are content to leave the balance to the voters. We are satisfied that the voters are competent to select the councilmen who stand for progressive policies, and who will work for the best inter ests of the town.
 Eight representative citi- zens are candidates for the office of councilman. Five of these men voted for in- corporation, and if elected they will work for the advan- cement of the town. Theothel three candidates for the council have always been Op- posed to incorporation, anC it is reasonable to suppose that, should they be elected they will attempt to undo what has already been done and also attempt to block al future progress.
 This is a case in which thC voters must decide for them

of Niobe's sons and Artemis all the
daughters. Out of pity for her grief,
the gods changed Niobe into a rock
on Mount Sipylus in Phrygia, in which
form she might continue to weep. And
this rock so appears to this day when
viewed from the proper distance and
location.
According to some records, Niobe is
the goddess of snow and winter, whose
children slain by Apollo and Artemis,
symbolic the ice and snow melted by
the sun in spring; according to Others
she is an earth goddess, whose pro-
geny-vegetation and the fruits of the
Soils dried up or slain every sum-
mer by the shafts of the sun god.
But Niobe, in the real, becomes the
representative of that quality of hui
man nature liable to pride in prosper
ity and forgetfulness Of the respect
and submission due to the source of
all good things.

erals for Major General Tasker H.
Bliss, army chief of staff, and Major
General John ], Pershing, command

Though both officers have equal rank,
General Bliss takes precedence by vir-

PINELLAS COUNTY BOARD OF
TRADE SESSION HERE TODAY
On Matters of Importance Effort in Behalf Of
Western Rail Outlet - Committee to Go to
Perry, Fla, in Interest Of Missing Link Built by
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad

made an interesting report on its in
vestigation of the road work, and. of
examination of the roads recently
built in the county with the $715,000
bond fund. In some instances the re-
port did not show conditions to be as
satisfactory as hoped for, though up
on the whole the board decided to ac-
cept the report with the recommends
ton that it be referred to the county
commissioners for consideration. Spe-
cial markers on roads, mostly in the
north end of the county, danger
signals and the erection of mile-posts
were urged to be- provided, and this
report, also, was referred to the coun-
ty commissioners.
The matter of securing as early as
possible a west coast outlet from
Florida to the west and north, was dis
cussed at length, and the desirability
of such connection was stressed
1t is now possible to go, by the west
coast, as far north as Perry, Fla,
and the building of a connecting link
of only % miles from Perry to Shelf
field, would give new rail connec-
ton from Florida northward and west
ward. The work would have to be
done by the Atlantic Coast Line which
owns the track northward to Perry.
1t was decided to appoint a commit
tee to go to Perry to attend the next
meeting of the Perry board of trade
in the interest of the new line. Tt
committee will go via Brooksville and
meet the Brooksville board of trade
in the interest of this matter, and OF
cooperating with that body in get
ting state aid to improve the section
| of read between Brooksville and Arr,
peka.
The financial condition of the beare
was seriously considered. At the
time of the transfer of the headquar.
ters from st. Petersburg to Clearwa
| ter, the board had an Indebtedness Of
between $500 and $500. 1t was de-
sired to clear away this debt, and i
was decided that it might be don,
through the issuance of much-need
ed Pinellas County guide book Ac
cordingly the plan was adopted, ant
W. B. Powell was appointed a com
mittee of one to make plans for TIL
issuance of the guide book
Much time was spent in the dis
cussion of these important matters

Niobe is one of those characters OF

The Liberty Loan
Must Be Success

We must make this loan a success
We can make it success. The failure
of single issue of government bonds
would be worse for America than a
disaster upon the field of battle. We
must never let that happen.
A few days ago ] read the following
manifesto issued in Berlin by the
League of German Municipalities:
IF money talks, the president of the
United States may learn by October
Is, when the subscription lists close,
that the echo of the new war fund
given by the German people will have
drowned out completely the clamor of
intending protests to which his reply
to the pope has given stimulus"
Let. us meet that challenge by sub
scription to our second liberty loan
on the 9th day of October, nine days
after the close Of the German loan,
which will make it clear to the Ger
man military despotism that America
marshals not alone her brave soldiers
upon the battlefield, her invincible
navy upon the high seas, her indus
tries throughout the length and
breadth of this land, but as well .hel
financial resources, and that she is de-
termined to use them all without stint

FINE CHANCE FOR PROMOTION,

Red Cross work. Men are badly need
ed for this service and those interested
in work of this nature are earnestly
urged to enlist. 4
Infantry: This is the largest unit
of the Army and naturally promotion
is faster in this service than any 9TH
er. It will be of advantage to men,
having no special trade to enlist in the
infantry.
Enlistments for all the above are
for the duration of the war only and
the minimum rate of pay is $50 per
month. No person who has been CALI
ed by a local board may enlist, even
after he has been exempted from the
draft.

Open Letter To Council
And the Board Of Trade

Springs had better hotel facilities
than the bay city and an electric light
plant which they had not. Our local
light plant was owned by Sam Weller
who was operating without a fran
chise. He applied for one, but our
wise council argued that he was here
and couldn't get away, and refused the
request. But he did get away and his.
plant went with him to St. Petersburg
where he got the encouragement and
protection he failed to receive at the
resort he really loved. This misfor-
tune was followed by another-the
burning of the Tarpon Springs hotel.
During the next ten years our city
was stagnant while St. Petersburg
forged ahead. Was it natural advan-
tages that did this A thousand times

The following letter was received
this morning from Mr.. E. M. Smith
with a note saying it was refused pub
gcation in the "official city newspa-
per-" 1t appeals to us as a very good
letter containing some good ideas.
Perhaps, the fact that it does not Law
ish praises on the city council is the
reason it was turned DOWN.:
On the approach of the tourist sea-
SON it seems most appropriate to give
the matter of advertising Tarpon
Springs the most serious attention; to
rectify and profit by the mistakes OF
the past and look earnestly to the fu-
ture. 1t seems to me that possibly
the best criterion to go by would be
the experiences and successes OF our
neighboring cities, such as Clearwater
and ST. Petersburg. Twenty years ago
when I first gazed upon the beautiful
bayous in and about Tarpon Springs
and saw the active work being done
here by coterie of influential men
such as Jacob Disston, F. A. Davis,
and others, the possibilities of great
tourist and pleasure resort for our
beautiful city seemed endless, the out
look sublime. At that time st. Pc

rival of Tarpon and in many respects
in point of enterprise and push, was
behind US; for instance, Tarpor

Rains Delay Haig's Advance in Flanders
Artillery Duel Keeps Heavens Ablaze!

Although the sun shone again yes
terday in Flanders, the rain had rem
dered the territory east of the Pass

bog, making infantry actions on
large scale impossible for the present.
There have been, however, num-
Der of small actions in the nature of
trench raids and reconnaissance and
the big guns of both the British and
the Germans are keeping up the
mighty duel virtually without pause.
Likewise on the southern line in
France and in the Austro-Italian the
alter, only the artillery is active. On
the northern end of the front in Rus
STA several attacks by the Germans on
positions in the Riga sector have been
repulsed by the Russians, who also
took prisoners.
Although it had been anticipated
that the main committee of the Ger
man reichstag on Monday would dis
cuss Germany's war aims, the debate
was postponed to today. Meanwhile
the imperial chancellor had gone to
the main army headquarters, a fact
which may be of some significance.
Always prior to the opening of debate
on important subjects in the reichstag

quarters for the conferences with En-

Proper Furniture
for the Children
Prepared by Children's Bureau. u: S.
Department OF Labor

Too many homes, even those where
essary margin Of choice, are furnished
without apparent regard for the needs
or rights of children, and in these 1t Is
hardly possible for a child to find a
place to play or use his own things
without having to be continually
warned against breaking or harming
something. It is plainly not just to any
child TO surround him with furnishings
designed entirely to accommodate
grown-up people and ask him to re-
spect them, unless there is somewhere
place in which he has equal rights,
and where the grown-ups must pay
equal respect to his possessions. For
this reason there should always be
some room, or at least corner of the
family living room, where the children
may keep their own things and use
them in comfort.
The ideal rooms for children contain
only such furniture as they need for
comfort or convenience; and this will
be simple and easily kept clean. Wash
able painted walls, bare hardwood or
painted floors, simple curtains and
painted furniture are suitable. If wall
paper is used it should be inexpensive,
so that it can be frequently renewed.
All the holdings, door panels, window
anu door screens should be made with
plain painted surfaces so that they can
be readily cleaned.
Only the lightest curtains should be
used, and they should not cover the
windows, save when necessary to sim.
out the hot sun. The chairs, tables,
beds, shelves, bookcases and all other
necessary articles of furniture should
be small and low, so that the children
may find them comfortable and con-
venient. The continual effort to use
tables and chairs which are too high,
to get things that are out of reach,
and to be under the necessity of trying
to adapt the strength, size and skill of
children TO the furniture of grown per-
sons results in no little irritation,
some Of which might be easily re-
lieved. The washbowl In the bathroom
is usually too high for child to use
