RADICALS AND SOLDIERS
ARE DEMANDING A NEW PO-
LITiCAL SYSTEM IN SPAIN

Madrid, Via Paris, June 1S.-A
movement for a radical rebuilding OF
the whole political edifice in Spain is
gaining adherence everywhere. Dis
content with existing methods has
been long general among the more
advanced liberals and reformers. In
ternal and external difficulties arising
from the war have served to heighten
and increase it and it has gained
among all parties. Even former Pre-
mier Maura, leader CT the cOnserva-
tives. agreed that there is ground for
dissatisfaction.
Senior Romeo, editor of the CORE
spondence de Espana, summed up the
general grievance in a forcible article
recently. He wrote: I'VE ought all to
initiate the soldiers in refusing to be
downtrodden a moment longer. The
soldiers have shown US the only way
"a firm determination TO carry out
the point regardless of sacrifice.
The whole of Spain, with the ex-
ecption of a thousand families who
monopolize the sweets of office, is
sick to death of the favoritism which
condemns the country to external
stagnation, and is only waiting for the
signal to rise like one man and do
away with it forever. Favoritism is
the danger which is killing Spain,
and will put an end to her unless we
put an end to it."

ALIENS LEAVING U. S. NEED NOT
HAVE AMERICAN PASSPORTS

Washington, June 1S.-The depart
ment of state has issued the follow
ing:
There is a current report that all
aliens as we'll as Americans leaving
the United States must carry Ameri-
can passports, issued by the depart
ment of state, Washington.
This is a mistake. It is true that
all persons leaving the United States
must carry passports, and that all
American citizens leaving this country
must carry American passports issued
by the department of state. Aliens,
however, leaving the United States
should carry passports issued by their
own governments or by their diplomat
ic or consular representatives in the
United States.
There also seems to be misappre-
hension in regard to the viseing of
passports of persons leaving this
country. The viseing of passports is
done by customs officers. However.
there is at present no regulation re-
quiring that passports be presented

PUBLIC THE VICTIMS
OF FOOD GAMBLERS
Over Quarter of Billion Dollars
Contributed in Past Five Months
to INSCRIPTIONS Spectators
HOOVER EXPLAINS PURPOSE OF
FOOD CONTROL BILL

Washington, June 19.-Food specu
lators have been taking $50,000,00O a
month for the last five months-a to-
tai of a quarter of a billion dollars
from the American people, Herbert c.
Hoover today told senators in explain
ing the purpose of the food controS
bill now before congress.
Mr.. Hoover outlined broadly the
question of prospective food supplies.
THE real question" he said in
prepared statement, sis whether the
shortage will continue next year and
what will be the need of the allies
and America. Despite the reduced
consumption of the allies, they will
require a much larger amount of ce-
reals next year than ever before. The
allies are more isolated in food sourc-
es.
THE allies are Dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
of their food imports. We should be
able to supply sixty per cent. of what
they require. The other forty per
cent. must be made up by further de-
NAL on their part and saving on ours.
Without an adequate food supply no
European population Will continue to
fight, and we shall find ourselves alone
against Germany.
THE Average prices to the consum-
ers in countries where food admniis-
tration is now in effect are lower than
those now prevailing in the United
States" he said. In England the
price of bread is even 25 per cent.
below the price We paw"

NO CHANCE FOR THE STACKER
WHEN OUR HEROES RETURN

Atlanta. Ga. June 19.-Men from
the officers reserve corps training
camp at Fort Mcpherson are the So
cial lions of Atlanta, and already the
fellows who don't wear the uniform
are beginning TO wonder what will
happen to them when the United
States gets into the actual fighting,
and soldiers from the trenches begin
to return home with the scars of bat
tie and all the glamor that goes with
feminine hero worship. If a young
man who is merely training for war,
they figure, can get away with so
much of the social cream, as it were,
what are the returning heroes going
to leave for the plain citizen?
Every Saturday night the men of
the 20. r. c." are off duty, and in
spite of their strenuous weeks grind
of drill and study they manage to ac-
quit themselves very nimbly and cred
itably on the dancing floors. Wher-
ever they appear they are usually
surrounded by admiring groups of
girls who seem to have eyes only for
the khaki.

ANOTHER STOCK FARM FOR MA
RON COUNTY

1t will be seen by referring to our
advertising columns that Marion coun-
ty is to have still another stock farm.
The name OF this new enterprise is
the Florida Live Stock and Farms
Company"
1t will also be noted that the gen.
tlemen composing it are all from
without the county.
Nine of the eleven composing the
board Of directors are from the good
state of Pennsylvania, a state which
has fairly won the reputation of being
the finest agricultural state in the I'm
ion. and when men hailing from such
states, after looking Florida over, and
determine to embark in the stock bus
mess here, one may know that it
means something, and that Florida
promises great possibilities in this
direction. Mr.. Harvey l. Thompson,
the manager of the company and a
member of the board of directors, is
already here, and has already gone
actively TO work. He is pleasant
gentleman, is not a novice in this line
of work. and is optimistic, buoyant
and hopeful.
The property purchased is the Low
ick P. Miller place.
In bellum and ante-bellum times it
was regarded as one Of the brag plac-
es of the county. 1t was first owned
by the Keits, name we'll known in
South Carolina, and noted as fine,
practical and successful planters.
This place was afterwards owned
lby Mr.. Jacob Eichelberger and again

DETAILS REGARDING A $4,000, 900
IRISH POTATO CROP

st. Augustine, June 1S.-A casual
review of the results obtained by the
farmers of st. Johns county from the
Irish potato crop, now that all of the
crop has been marketed and total re-
ceipts obtained, reveals some inter
esting statistics, foremost among
which is the fact that more than So
100000 were obtained from the sale of
potatoes during the past three
months. This is more than double
the total receipts of any previous sea-
son.
A brief detail of the crop just har-
vested will be interesting, of
which the following are the essential
features, and the figures can be re-
lied upon as very nearly accurate:
Total number of acres planted, H.

Total yield in barrels. 100000.
Highest price obtained per barrel,
$40.
Average price obtained per barrel,

SURGEON GENERAL CORGAS
OF THE UNITED STATES
ARMY ISSUES STATEMENT
An Opportunity for Service in the
Medical Officers Reserve Corps
Where Service is Most Needed
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND MORE
DOCTORS WANTED

Washington, June 19.-Surgeon
General Gorgas of the army authoriz-
es the following statement:
The medical corps must have 1900
more doctors for the army, and it
needs most of them now. In Germany
when the army has such call the
government orders the doctors to join
the colors, and that is all there is to
it. This government is 10th to follow
that example. Doctors coming into
the medical officers reserve corps are
commissioned as first lieutenants, cap
tains or majors in the service, and are
liable to be ordered to any duty re-
quired of their grade. The surgeon
generals endeavor is to put each man
where he is most needed and where
his speciality will count most
Foreign service is the attraction,
and it will eventually fall to most of
the corps. The examination of re-
cruits and the care OF their health
through treatment and in a much
broader way by sanitation is the mat
ter of earliest Importance, and it will
be the first duty of many of the new
medical officers.
The United States needs more med
ical officers than France or Germany,
because, through lack of universal
military training, the difficulties of
examining recruits will be multiplied
many times, and because we wish to
aid our allies and also give the best
service to our own soldiers and sail
ors.
The country needs more doctors
now that they may be trained in mil
itary ways, in sanitation, and in the
surgical methods developed by DR.
Carrel and other surgeons since the
war began.
An applicant must be a graduate of
a reputable medical school, and be be-
tween % and 55 years of age. The
annual pay of a lieutenant is $4,000:
of captain, $4,000; of a major. $4,000.
with an additional 10 per cent. in each
case for foreign service besides head
quarters. Any physician who intends
to join the medical officers reserve
corps should communicate with the
chairman of the board most conven,
eint to him.
Never has there been a greater de-
mand for sacrifice, but it is the sacri-
flee for country. The country is in
the war to win, and no class is more
needed at the present time than doe
tors.

FORMER ANTHONY WOMAN DIES
AT PORT TAMPA

The community was saddened Sun
day by the sudden death of Mrs. Lee
Hayes, aged eighteen, the young wife
Of Leon Hayes, at 4 a. m. Her death
was made unusually sad by the fact
that she leaves an infant daughter but
two hours old. Mrs. Hayes, who was
formerly Miss Lee Lamb of Anthony,
Fla, was married btuone short year
ago to Mr.. Leon Hayes of this city.
She had won many friends by her
sweet disposition and attractive per-
sonality, to whom the news of her
death came as great shock. Be-
sides her sorrowing husband and lit
tie daughter, she leaves to mourn her
loss her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. G.
Lamb, and two sisters, all of Anthony,
Fla.-Tampa Tribune.
The body Of Mrs. Hayes was ship
ped to her former home at Anthony
Monday for burial, the funeral TAX
ing place there Monday afternoon.
The body of Mrs Hayes was accom-
panied by her sorrowing young hus-
band and by several Port Tampa
friends.
The friends of Mr. Hayes and of
the Lamb family at Anthony and else
where where they are known, will re-
greet exceedingly to learn of the great
bereavement that has come to them
in the death of Mrs. Hayes.

LIFT YOUR coRNS OFF WITH FIN

Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or Calious So II Lifts Out
Without Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn
or callous without infiaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores. but win positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or har-
dened callous II your druggist hasn't
any freezone he can. get It at any
wholesale drug house for you'd.

new heart. The French newspapers
have been as profuse in their praise
as have been the English journals.

welcome accorded the French and
English missions exceeded nothing in

BILE
Too much Importance cannot be
given to the personnel of the Russian
mission just sent to the United
States. headed by Professor Boris
Bakmeteff. One unusual feature of
the mission is that both men and
women compose it. All branches of
the Russian government are repre-
scented. and there are also members
of the press and news services. For
the purpose of the mission, Prof Bak-
meteff has been raised to the rank of
ambassador, which makes him the
personal representative of the head
of the Russian government.
The appeal issued by the kaiser to
deserters is having practically no
good results, according to reports
from Germany. The German emper-
or is trying to induce deserters to re-
turn to the colors before the middle
of July. Those who do so are prom
ised amelioration of punishment or
pardon, if they show themselves
worthy in the field Furthermore,
they will not be placed under pre-
ventive arrest Those who do not
take advantage Of the offer before
July u, however. will not have an
opportunity to profit by its provis-
ions. for it will not be repeated.
The allies are expecting a 5~eat
deal of the American soldiers who
are expected to be in the trenches
by early fall, especially as it has been
stated that the makeup of the first
troops will be three-fourths national
guardsmen. New York regiments,
acknowledged to be the best trained
in the country. are expected to be the
first to arrive in Europe. The Unit
ed States and the allied governments
will have no easy time getting I'm
Gle Sans men to the front, for even
the largest of the transports which
are available cannot comfortably con-
vey more than 1000 at one time.
