movement. Lettuce has slumped ire
mendously since the cold wave, the
movement year ago being 5S7 as
against 100 cars this year. Tomatoes
have fallen off a little, the figures be-
ing So to 45, celery has dropped from
384 to 224, and strawberries from A
to &c cars. Pineapples show an in
crease of "a cars as compared to a
year ago, no movement appearing dur
ing the first fifteen days of February,
1916, while the shipments in two
weeks has run from six to SO cars.
The gain in the general vegetable
shipments is accounted for by the
trucking in Manatee and Dade county
largely. The falling off of lettuce is
ascribed to the almost complete loss
of that crop about Sanford. Tomatoes
are grown principally in the southern
counties and are not so badly affected.
Celery, one of the, big crops in the
Sanford section, was considerably
damaged. Strawberries is another
Florida money4maker that shows up
in, the railroad shipment figures as af-
fected, the movement having fallen
from Al to 26.cars in the fifteen days,
"A. larger part of the crop had moved,
however, as a. year ago shipments

SECOND FLORIDA
UNDER HOT FIRE
ON The BORDER

Laredo, Tex, Feb. 16.-Twenty
Mexican bandits and detachment of
Florida infantry engaged in a skir-
mish last night near Zapata. One
bandit was captured and several hors-
es belonging to the Mexicans were
corralled. The soldiers fired on the
bandits shortly after they crossed the
Rio Grande and the fire was returned
by the Mexicans, who then fed. The
Americans pursued them some dis
lance down the river, losing track of
them in the darkness.

the ruthless submarine campaign
made by Germany upon the United
States was discussed at the cabinet
meeting late today. 1t was said that
no new steps had been decided upon.
1t is understood that President Will
son has a very definite opinion as to
what should be done, but that he has
not yet decided that the time has come
for it. The tieing up of American
ships is in effect acquiescing in the
German policy. This state of affairs,
it is admitted, cannot continue indef-
nitely.
The arming of American merchant
men and the economic effect of the
partial tieing up of shipping out of
American ports were the subjects up
on which the cabinet centered its at
tention. Secretary McAdoo is compil-
ing a list of ships held in port. Sec
rotary Redfield is making a compare
tive analysis of the inroads the subma-
rines are making on our shipping gen.
orally.
While the different phases of the sit
uation resulting from the break were
dis used, officials emphasized that the
fundamental problem before the ma
ton is the illegal submarine campaign
Press dispatches telling of the re-
lease of the Yarrowdale prisoners by
Germany caused the demand that the
men be freed to be withheld, pending
official advices on the subject.
Two important moves by England tc
meet the submarine menace were an
nounced. They are larger zone seek.
ing to block the route of submarines
towards the Atlantic and the practical
closing of the English channel with
nets and mines. A south Atlantic port
of examination for outgoing ships may
be established by the British at the
Bahamas or Bermuda.

violating the national defense laws.
He is specifically charged with enter

legged to have obtained military in
formation. Kaiser resided here.
Kaiser was released on $4,000 bond
furnished by his employers. 1t is said
that he was formerly German vice
consul at Manzanillo. Government
agents charge that since the arrival of
troops at the border, he has cultivated
the acquaintance of officers, entertain
ing them lavishly and asking ques-
|tions regarding military equipment. It
was this action that was called to the
attention of the department of justice.

No News From the
Soldier Means That
He Is All Right

Although the failure to receive
letters from the men in service is
not pleasant to relatives and friends
at home the adage 'no news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every cas-
ualty at home or abroad is immed-
lately wired or cabled to officials at
Washington, being relayed from
there without loss of time to the
emergency address of the soldier or
sailor affected. 1t is also released
for publication in the newspapers.
No news of casualties has or will
be held up.
No man in the service has receiv-
ed orders not to write home; he has
been urged, on the contrary, to
keep in touch with relatives and
friends. The forces in France have
at their disposal post cards giving
general information in regard to
health and the receipt of letters and
parcels, which may be dispatched
without payment of postage.
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldiers and sail
ors reaches them promptly. Where
the regimental and company des-
ignation of a soldier is not known
it may be secured by application to
The Adjutant Generals Office,
Washington, d. c. In one week
1874 letters with insufficient ad-
dresses were received at this office.
On 1882 the addresses were COM
pleted and they were forwarded,
1913 were returned to senders,
SO went to the dead-letter office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held
with the view that the addresses
might be completed later.

SCOTS CONTRIBUTION

AS finally enacted into law the
food control act, among other
things, gives the President power
"to license the importation. manu-
facture, storage, mining, or distri-
button of any necessaries" When
the bill was before the House for
consideration the word mining"
did not appear in the paragraph.
The necessity for its inclusion i'm
pressed itself upon Representative
George c. Scott of Iowa, who held
that the production of coal, for in
stance, was not included in the
terms, importation, manufacture,
storage, or distribution" He de-
clared that the licensing of coal
operators might prove quite as nee
essary as that Of the other activities
covered by the bill, and at his sug-
gestion the word mining, was add
ed to the language without opposi-
ton, and remained to become a part
of the statute.

Poultry the Best Chance

Poultry must be produced next year
in places where it has not been produced
before, and everywhere that poultry
has been produced that production must
be increased. 1t is necessary that peo-
Pile in the country and in the towns
answer alike to this call. Farms and
backyards must both do their bit, for
the doubling of our poultry production
next year is an indispensable item is
the nations food production program
"a program which must be carried out
if we are to win the war.
The best supplies available for Euro
pean use are short. Meat must be sup
piled if the war is won-by the forces
that fight for freedom. The war will
be won if we fail in food producticn-
but not by us. We must understand
what will happen if We do not provide
the enormous quantities of foodstuffs
that the Allies cannot produce for
themselves.
Are we going to feed our Army on
chicken and eggs? Of course not not.
But by greatly increasing our pro-
duction of chickens and eggs, and by
eating those chickens and eggs ourselves
we will, naturally, eat that much less
beef and pork. In turn, that beef and
pork can be sent to Europe.
The United States Department of
Agriculture calls upon the country to
double poultry production next year,
That can be done if the farms will keep
an average of 100 hens instead of an
average of 40 hens, as at present, and
if every family in town will keep enough
hens in the back yard to produce all the
eggs used by that family-or two hens
to each person.

SEEDS WANTED.

While making a canvass of Waldo
Country, to determine how much and
what the farmers are to plant this season,
the Committee on Public Safety has been
confronted with the fact that seed is short.
This is especially true of barley and wheat.
Now if there is in the county any farmer
who has more seed of this kind than he is
intending to plant, and is willing to sell it,
will he please communicate by phone or
letter or in person with the Public Safety
Headquarters in the C. o. Poor building,
Phoenix Row, Belfast, stating the amount
he will sell and the price Also if there is
any person in the vicinity of Belfast or in
the city, who has land he or she will not
use, and is willing for some one else to
plant it, will he also kindly report to the
headquarters at once. Several have al
ready done so but the supply was quickly
exhausted. At headquarters there are
some very interesting booklets sent by the
Agricultural department at Washington,
which give many practical suggestions to
the man or woman planting garden in
this locality These books are free to
those who ask for them, but it must be
understood that they are for those who
are really interested in gardening.

Selective Draft Bills in Brief
As Passed by Senate and House.

As Passed by Senate and House.
Both bills provide for recruiting the Re-
gular Army to 287, 900 and the National
Guard to 625, 600 by volunteers.
For raising 1000, 900 men additional, in
instruments of $780, 600, by selective draft.
For exempting legislative and judicial
officers of the United States and the sew
eral States, members of religious organi-
cations whose creeds are opposed to war
and ministers of all denominations.
For exemption at the Presidents dis
erection of certain Federal employees, pilots
and mariners in the merchant marine and
persons engaged in industries, including
agriculture, which are necessary to the
military establishment.
The Senate bill makes persons between
the ages of 81 and 81 subject to draft; the
house would include men up to 40.
The Senate would raise the pay of the
enlisted man from Sis to $2g month; the
House would make it $50.
The Senate bill provides that persons,
who voluntarily present themselves for
registration shall be classed as volunteers
and forbids the sale of liquor to men in
uniform.
The house bill provides that quotas for
the several States shall be determined by
population and credit given for men al
ready in the service, and that the Presi-
dent may keep local organizations togeth-
er
A compromise will probably be affected
on the age limit, fixing the limit at be-
tween the ages of 81 to 35.
In the choice of the age period there
are only two questions to be considered,
the interests of the Nation and. the inter
ests of those to be drafted. For the lat
ter, it appears needless to argue that any
young man can better spare the years be-
tween 10 and 81, before he is established
in his life work and has taken on mans
full responsibilities, than those between
Is and q.
The age figures of the Civil War, when
the country's manhood took a very real
though informal referendum on the age
period for war service, emphasize the
point; of the wearers of the blue 80 per
cent were 81 and under, SO per cent were
Is and under, and rs per cent were under
80 when they enlisted.
There are about as many men of 81 to
q to-day as there are of 10 to 25-some
{, 200, 900 of them; but not so many are
available for service. The country wishes
to spare those with dependents, and
whereas the 1910 census showed only 3.8
per cent married at 10 and Sc per cent at
20, at Is and 26 the per cents were re-
spectively 45.5 and 81. Industry's need
of the older men, too, is greater than that
of the younger, who have not ''settled
down"
These arguments all apply with increas-
ed force to the ages above 81. With the
30's three-quarters of the men are mar
ried and most of them have children to
support. But the great argument against
this extended age period-for it is not ex-
pected that these men would be actually
drafted-is that it would nearly treble the
work of registration, adding more than
10, GOO, 600 names.

School Boys and Girls Enlist.

The patriotic boys and girls of the
United States are responding to their
country's need of more and cheaper food
by enlisting in Boys and Girls Agricult-
ural Clubs. In every State of the United
States the young people under eighteen
years of age are planning to raise corn,
potatoes, a vegetable garden, calves,
pigs, poultry or some other agricultural
product In addition to raising gardens,
the girls and boys will can fruits and
vegetables so that no products will go to
waste and there will be food for the win
ter months.
There were last year more than 500, 900
boys and girls in the country enrolled in
Agricultural Clubs. The clubs are con-
Quoted by the State Colleges of Agricult-
ure; instructions to guide the young farm
ers are furnished by the colleges and the

Hoyt Quimby, Corn Club boy of Har-
lakenden, New Hampshire, harvested 1874
bushels of corn from one acre.
But how about the boys and girls of
Maine? They have made wonderful
achievements in Potato Clubs, Sweet

Garden Clubs and Canning Clubs.
If you want to organize one of these
clubs in your town this year write at
