Free nations in the past have never
fallen before the invader except when
there was dissension within. There is
but one business for everyone of us
now, that's licking the kaiser-if we
fail to attendsto our business, may
God have mercy-the kaiser won't, for
he doesn't even know the meaning of
justice and square-dealing, and free
dom to the kaiser means license for
him and his bunch of crooks to do as
they darn please at any time they
please.-Vero Bulletin.

In your editorial of November 30th
1917, headed "Will Tarpon Springs
Lose the Sponge Industry" you men,
ton few very true facts concerning
the Greeks here, but I believe you
were misinformed in writing the
fourth paragraph or you would not
have made the statement: "This ca

sum of money is ready to begin the
work, but the matter of OPENING
PINELLAS AVENUE THROUGH

contamination of these plans, as the

Subscribers to The Leader will con-
IeE a favor upon us by refusing to pay
the carrier boys unless they give a
receipt from the book they carry.
When these receipts are not called for
we have no record of the subscriber
having paid, and consequently charge
him again, thus causing confusion.

the oldest Egyptian monuments and in

supposed to belong to women during
leap year, originated in 1928 by an act
Of the Scottish parliament, which said
that during the reign of Queen Mar

tate, should have the liberty of asking
any man she wished to be her hus-
band. If he refused to marry her he
was fined 400 pounds or less, accord

You've heard the myth about Achil-
less heel, haven't you? Achilles, you
know, was the son of Thetis, and his
mother, wishing to make him invul-
nerable to arrows-they didn't use
guns in those days-dipped him, while
he was still baby, into the river
Styx. She held him in the river by
one of his little feet, and the water
failed to touch the heel which was COW
cred by her hand, leaving it the only
vulnerable spot on his body.

some people are happy and successful
while others are miserable failures.
In reality we all have pretty much

TO build our destiny Most of us meet
about the same kind Of people. Most
Of us get married. Most OF us have

some lnsorutable fate, but upon our
selves.
Take friendship, for instance. We
are always hearing people complain
that they have no friends, that no one
cares for them, and that the world is a
selfish place where there is no such
thing as di,intcrestcd affection. Such
a wall is an indictment OF the indl-
vldual who utters it and not OF the
balance 2of humanity. Such a one is
getting ont Of the game just what he
puts into It.
When people tell you that they have
no friends it is proof positive that they
are not friendly themselves. When
they tell you that no ono cares whether
they live or die it is because in all their
miserable, selfish, seli-ccntered lives
they have never done anything to bind
anothcr's heart to them. They have
never gone to a man in financial trouble
and offered him enough money to tide
him over a hard place. They have
never sent a load OF coal to a poor
widow, or paid her rent. They have
never given a Struggling boy or CIR
a hand up the ladder, or taken a child
to a circus, Why should anyone low,

Upon the presidents approval OF
the army bill, the first increment will
be added to the regulars. AS soon as
possible thereafter the remaining i'll
crements will be created, existing reg
iments being divided and expanded to
form the new units.
Already orders summoning officers

The result of this expansion will be

by about 25O,000 more in the regl-

From this force will be formed Is

During the interval between the re-

MADE A FARCE

Columbia, May 5.-Former Chief
Game Warden Alfred A. Richardson
is responsible under his official bond
for the custody of the records anu
other property belonging to the office,
and can not be legally relieved until
they are turned over to his successor
or until the legislature shall make
direction as to their disposition, not
withstanding the fact that in the tan
gle which has arisen in regard to the
office, leaving it vacant, as the result
of Governor Mannings refusal to ap-
roint unon the recommendation OF lie
Audubon society, there are no funds
available for Office rent, no successor
in sight, and the next session OF the
legislature eight months off! Nor afe
there any funds available for the sal
aries of employees of Col. Richardson's
office since March 7, when his term
expired, under the decision of the
courts, although the Office has to It's
credit a considerable sum in the
State treasury.
Such is the anomalous position i'll
which Col. Richardson has been plac-
ed
The matter was taken up with the
attorney generals Office, who has d.
rected the following letters to Col.

legal opinion:
"Dear Sir: Answering your letter OF
April 80, to the attorney general IN
which you ask to be advised as to
what disposition you should make OF
the office fixtures, books, records ana
other property belonging to the State

same to your successor, after ne mas

made direction as to the disposition !
of the same.
Gas to the rent for these Offices
which has accrued during the lltlga- /
tion over the title to the offices ana
now remains unpaid, I beg to- advise !
that there is no provision under the
law whereby this money can be drawn
from the game protection fund by
you or anyone else for the purpose OF
paving this rent. After a chief game
warden has been duly appointed ana
qualities as your successor, this clalm'
after it is properly established, can De
paid by him and in the event that the
office remains vacant, the claim could
be presented to the claims committee
to be recommended by them to the

her of offices now occupied by the
property of the chief game Warden's
office to the smallest number OF
Offices actually necessary for the
