To Experiment
With Flax In
Manateh County
Relieved That It Can Be Successfully
Grown Here

In the current issue of the FLORIDA
Grower, &c. c." writing from POINT
Jomar. Cal, gives some interesting
Information in regard to New Zea-
land flax. He says: without ques-
ton New Zealand flax will do well
in Florida, but it must be borne IN
mind in the growing of this plant,
it being of the swamp lily variety
i, is more a question of water han
Of he quality of soil where it is
lrianted. There is no doubt that
great industry can be built in Flor
ida by the growing of this plant and
the manufacturing of it's fibre there.
Further along in his letter, &c. C."
says: "The seeds and bulbs can be
procured here in California from sew
eral florists, among which are the
Harris Seed Company, San Diego,
Cal, and the Germain Company, Los
Angeles, Cal.
Mr. w. M. Tuttle, manager OF the
West Coast Realty Company and an
eernal booser for Sarasota and South
Florida, is very much interested in
the possibilities of this industry and
is snXious to try ou some of the flax
in the lowlands near Sarasota. He
wishes to interest others in the ex-
teriment and give he industry a
thorough try-out in this section
While writing his article, Mr.. A. B.
Edwards was asked about the mat
ter and stated that he was willing to
do his part in giving the industry a
try out. There are no doubt others
in the community who would be glad
to be instrumental in bringing this
indusry to our section, and we would
suegest that anyone interested write
to Mr.. Tuttle or to this Office, stating
the amount of seeds or bulbs they
are willing to buy and plant, and
giving their views in regard to the
industry in this section .-Braden

; Per Cent. Is
Now Added
To Freight

No use to grumble; war burdens
are falling on all of US. Let us 90
our bit with a becoming grace and
spirit of patriotism.
Beginning last night the public is
contributing in another form toward
the financial burden of winning the
war. Every person, firm or coopera'
ton paying for the shipment OF
freight is now required to pay an ad-
ditional 3 per cent, as a war tax. The
new law acects all shipments paid for
according to railroads and boat lines.
Comon carriers are required to pay
the tax just the same as another firm,
person or corporation when their
freight is sent over line where they
must pay transportation. Only when
a carrier deadheads its freight over
its own line does it escape paying tax.
All shipments of freight that the
freight has not been prepaid will be
subject to this. In other words, on
any collections made by Transports
ton companies an additional 3 per
cent. must be collected. The only
freight escaping the tax is that of the
common carrier over their own line,
and any movement of freight for Un.
Sam, state, territory or District OF
Columbia, and all shipments con
signed to Canada, Mexico or a for
eign port. In shipments destined for
foreign ports the bill must not be ad
dressed to local concern at the port
from which the shipment leaves fol
foreign part. The person paying
the freight is subject to the tax re
gardless of the end of the line the
freight is paid.
The penalty for failure to carry out
the law in its entirety is $1,000

Former Bandit Evans
Is Dead In Portland

Portland, Or, Feb. 10.-Bandit Chris
Evans is dead. The California high
wayman, who fought the Southern Pa.
cific railroad for years, ended his
career at st. Vincents hospital, at the
age of 10.
With johnson Sontag, Evans de-
clared war on the railroad after it had
driven him from his ranch in the San
Joaquin valley. The two men organ
lied a bandit gang, held up trains, rob
bed express companies, did everything
to injure the road, but never molested
passengers.
Evans and Sontag were finally corn
cred near Dunlap, and in the battle
Sontag was killed. Evans leg and arm
were shattered, and one eye shot out.
Convicted and sentenced for life, he
escaped with Ed Morrell, but was re
captured. Governor johnson pardoned
him April Is, 1911. He was recently
committed TO the poor farm here.

South American Nations
Not Enthusiastic Over
Position of United States
By Charles P. Stewart

Omitted Press start correspondent
Buenos Aires, Feb. l0.--It is a mis-
take to construe notes forwarded to
Germany by South American nations as
an endorsement of President Wilson IS
position, in the view of Jorge Mitre,
editor Of the influential La Nacion and
regarded as one of the leading authori-
ties on Pan-Americanism and South
American affairs.
'The Argentine government, y Mitre
explained today, twas especially I'M.
enthusiastic over America S stand and
in more or less degree the same feel.
ing was shown in notes of other repub-
lies, except Brazil, And Brazil obiects
to Germany's submarine blockade be
cause Of her own overseas trade in
grain and coffee. She is also particular
ly friendly to President Wilson.
Personally, | consider the Chilean
note the best Of those forwarded nv
the South American repubis, because
Chile expresses her inability to reeo;-
nize the blockade and declares she will
decide future developments according
to their merits.
Also, my personal view is that the
South American republics adopted a
mistaken position, inasmuch as they fo-
eused their notes on President Wilson $
attitude, instead of upon the German
announcement of the unbridaled sub
marine campaign.
Summarizing the situation, it can
be said that the South Aerican com
are not intended TO sup.
port President Wilson. -
The Argentine government today
handed to American Ambassador Stim-
son curt message of forty words trans
mitting copy of Argentine's note TO
Gerany. The forty words merely state
that the copy Of the note to Germany
embodies Argentine 5 reply TO President
Wilson 8 request that neutrals join the
United States.
