Corbett a Native Son.

Jim Corbett was born in San Fran
cisco in 1866. which makes him fifty
one years old He has always lived a
clean life. however. and appears fully
ten years younger. His hair is tinged
with gray at the temples.
Jim Corbett early gave evidence of his
fistic prowess. He INDUCED in all kinds
of athletic sports when lad. was a
fleet runner. a gymnast and won local
fame for the skillful manner in which
he handled his dukes" A career in
the ring. however, was not his aim at
that stage of his life. He obtained a
position after leaving school in a mer-
camille establishment, for the boy Cor
bett was apt at figures. When he grew
to young manhood he got job in a
bank and rose to a place in the teiler's
cage. During his leisure hours he de-
voted much time to athletics. Always he
retained his fondness for boxing
And about this time Corbett became
interested in amateur theatricals and
took part in a number of performances
in his native town. His distinguished
bearing and round deep voice fitted him
for leads" and it is a matter of rec
ord that Jim Corbett in later years
won the praise of many critics of stand
ing for his histrionic ability

Billy Welsh in the first round of their
bout on the coast. Again the same year

north Of Tampa and five miles west Of
Dade City-the county seat In the
very highlands Of Pasco County and
one of the highest points In the state.
We have more cement sidewalks than
any other town of its size In Florida.

smith shops, gristmill, laundry, Citrus
Fruit Packing House, sugarcane mill,
electrician and supplies, physician,
dentist, public bath house, pure water,
fertile soil. good hunting and fishing,

FOOD BILL PASSES
SENATE AGREES UPON A COM.
PROMISE MEASURE.
Proposed Act Is Adopted Following
Hot Verbal Argument Between
Senators Hollis and Reed.

Washington, July 21.A compromise
food control bin drafted in bipartisan
conferences by leaders was adopted by
the senate by vote of 60 to 16 as a
substitute for administration measures.
1t provides that only feeds, foods and
fuels, including kerosene and gasoline,
shall be placed under government CON
troll and administered by a board of
food administra don of three salaried
members instead Of a single individual
An amendment to the food bill by
Senator Husting proposing to authorize
the president by proclamation to place
under government control any products
or articles he might deem necessary
was rejected, So to 10.
The vote came after several amend
ments had been voted down, and fol-
lowed a verbal clash between Senators
Reed and Hollis over Senator Reeds
amendment, which contained an attack
on Ii rbert G. Hoover, food administra
tor.
Senator Reeds amendment is frank
ly directed at Mr.. Hoover" Senator
Hollis declared. "If the senate sympa-
thizes with the views of the Missouri
senator it will vote his sentiments into
the bill and Mr. Hoover out"
Preceding the clash Senator Hollis
had attempted to prevent Senator Reed
from introducing his amendment by
raising a point of order, which was
Overruled.
Senator Williams vigorously defend
ed Mr. Hoover, saying If he had the
power he would name Mr.. Hoover III
the bill as the administrator "tO answer
the attacks made on him here which
were unprovOked, unjust, and uncalled
for"
Another amendment by Senator
Reed, which Senator Ashurst said was
a dirk in the belt to be thrust at Mr..
Hoover" provided that food board com
missioners shall be United States cleo
tors. This was defeated
