BIG PROFITS BEING REALIZED
FROM WOOL AT BURBANK

The New Florida has on several Oc-
casions called attention to the ad.
vantages of Florida as sheep coun-
try, and printed articles from north
ern sheep journals setting forth these
advantages from a disinterested point
of view.
Probably one of the best demon
strations of these advantages is fur
nished by the flock of sheep belong
ing to Major J. K. Priest that is run
ming on the range around Burbank
Major Priest has had sheep for TWEEN
ty or twenty-five years, and says that
they have been practically free from
disease all during this time. His
lesses from this cause have been
scarcely worth taking into account.
His sheep are allowed to run free on
the range the entire year and receive
little or no attntion. About the only
time that they are rounded up is
when he wants to shear them.
This years wool crop he has just
gathered and marketed through John
Edwards of Ocala, the buyer being
D. Kirklan of Savannah, Ga.
The shipment amounted to 1862
pounds which brought six cents a
pound, the total being S2791.20. This
is practically all net profit.-New

ders are received.
The trains yesterday brought in
quite number of members from out
lying points and soon the city assum-
ed quite a military appearance.
They are being remembered and
honored in many ways. The ladies
have gotten together quite a large
number of jars of jellies, jams nd 9th
er sweets which have been carefully
packed and the young soldiers will
take them to the camps.
The Red Cross members have made
comfort bags containing quite num-
Der of useful and necessary articles
and each officer and private will be
presented with one with the compli-

have been selected for the rooms are

1t was an ideal place for an August
night If the rooms haG been design
ed for the purpose they could not
have been made any better.
The building was handsomely dec
grated with flags, pictures of Presi-
dent Wilson, ferns, pot plants ana
flowers.
The decorations of the vesiibule
were especially tastefully planned and
the design was uniquely carried out.
The flags and bunting were contrib

spond to the call of patriotism and
duty and are always found at the
forefront
One of the flags used in the decora
tons was contributed by Mr.. Dye

tween the states and was not stran-
ger to wars fierce alarums.
The merchants and citizens gener
ally were generous in their contribu-
tons and there was food enough to
have fed and punch enough to have
quenched the thirst of a regiment.
Besides the several tubs OF punch
there was large contribution Of
Chero-Cola contributed by the gener-
Gus proprietors of that delicious bev-
erage.
The chairs aui .db,es we're loaned

The chief attraction was chicken a

and eight hundred in number by ac-
tual count: pickles. crackers. salads,

After taking trip in tank, and

The question is, "Why are the tanks

themselves nothing but great gawky

The answer is that y = tank do
ing stunts proves to be in fact most
overwhelmingly funny.

believe, even while the ludicrous per-
forma nee is going on right under your
eyes. 80

tank0drome, number of the crea-
lures were paving the ground In the
center of a field, apparently eager to
begin the show.
The whole thing was unreal. bit

shops housed tanks in various stages
of construction and repair. In one
corner OF the field a number of the

As smoothly as ship sliding out ot

When proceeding with portfolios

which two of the crew are continually
tinkering, do moi seem TO be raising
