FLoRIDlANS WORKING TO
SECURE A U. S. SIGNAL
CORPS STATION SHORTLY

Tallahassee, Nov. 17-Florida will
get one of the United States Signal
Corps if the energies of the members
OF the Board of Control and DIR. A. A.
Murphree, president of the University
of Florida, count for anything.
The Board of Control authorized
DR.. Murphree to offer the facilities at
the University of Florida to the gov
ernment for this purpose, and it is
very probable that the offer will be
accepted, for the government officials
are said to be enthusiastically in fav.
or of the Gainesville location.
II the university is decided upon
several new teachers will have to be
employed by the university, but the
funds that will come from the govern.
ment will at least cover every ex-
pense the university will be put to,
and in the long run the State institu-
ton will receive much in the way Of
permanent equipment.
1t is thought that not less than IT'S
young men will be sent to Gainesville
Immediately IL the government de-
cides to accept the Board of Controls
offer.

Sheridan Jewett Ships Them From
West Side
Sanford, Nov. 1.-THE first two
solid cars of head lettuce to leave
Sanford this season we're rolled on
Wednesday and Thursday consigned
to Chas. Pape & Co., New York, by
C. l.. Smith, their representative here.
The lettuce was grown by Sheridan
Jewett
The lettuce crop of the Sanford
section never looked better and there
will be quite an acreage Of early
stuff that should bring good price
1t is said that several cars are sold
for shipment next week that will
bring the grower $500 I. o. b. San
ford, which is a good price, although
it is rumored that lettuce will bring
more around Thanksgiving time.
The cool weather that has pre-
vailed for the past thirty days is
heading up the lettuce and the crop
is looking fine and crisp and readily
sells to the buyers that are flocking
here to get the standard Sanford
brands.
Ramaine was the first to go this
season, several cars having already
been shipped and lettuce will con-
tinue TO he shipped from here for
several months and long after the
celery crop has started. The early
lettuce will bring the money rolling
into Sanford and will greatly stimu-
late every line of business here and
the outlook for the holiday business
was never brighter.

HAVE EVIDENCE GERMAN
ARMY Is DETERIORATINc

Liverpool, Nov. 16. Evidence that
the German commanders are well
aware that the German army is deter
iorating and that they have to try to
keep it together by terrifying their
troops is given in letter written by
an officer of a Liverpool regiment to
one Of the local newspapers. Ex-
pressing the opinion that the "col-
lapse of the German will come soon,"
he added:
"The best cure for pessimism would
be few days in the front-line trench
es. There are no pessimists here ex-
cept among the German prisoners.
1.-THE last time our battalion was in
action we took quite a number Of pris-
oners, and they were a dismal lot.
One non-commissioned officer with
whom I spoke told me that large
numbers of the Germans simply will
not face our fire, but refuse to at
tack His ow ncompany had been un-
der fire for nearly five days, and at
last they had signed round-robin to
the company commander to say that
they could not stay any longer Two
of the ringleaders were arrested with
the idea of making an example of
them, but their comrades demanded
their release with such energy that
the officers had to give way. Later
on the men repeated their demand to
be taken out of the front line. The
officers ordered them back to duty, but
the men refused. The officers threat
ened the soldiers, who replied by kill
ing all but four of the officers and
marching over to the British lines te
surrender.
when this particular battalion
was moved up against the British the
had to be bullied into fighting by be
. ing sent into action in front of NAV
ing barrage, which meant certain
death to all who Jagged behind.
"On another occasion recently ou
, Liverpool regiment had fierce figh
which ended up with strange exper
ience. We had heavily engaged ant
driven off in panic some Germans VIII,
had been holding a strong position
!. Moving on to the next objective, an
other party of the enemy appeared
We felt certain that we were in 70
rough experience, but the truth wa
that this bunch wanted to surrende
badly, and they had made a pretens
of advancing to a counter-attack wit
the object Of getting near enough t.
us to be sure of protection from thei
own officers.
when the German command foun
: out what had happened, they sent fol
ward great body of reserves wit
order to recapture our prisoners
Heavy gunfire rained on us, of whicl
the prisoners got good share. The
l begged us hard to save them, and W
did all we could But at one stage W
! were nearly caught, when the enem
suddenly turned on party of liqui
fire experts. Fortunately we wer
, alert and charged at once, capturin
r the whole liquid fire outfit. There er
, sued terrible row between the eal
lier prisoners and the men we ha
l taken with the liquid fire outfit. TIL
r first prisoners wanted to kill the lie
D uid fire men. We had our hands ful
getting them all back"

TO
ADVERTISE

WITH the approach apr of the
w Fall and Winter season,
come the desire and neces-
sity for the purchase OF new
and different kinds OF goods
for every department OF the
household.
An entirely different regime enters the
homes of the people, apropos to the de-
mands Of the season, and they naturally
seek the best places to secure the necessi-
ties and luxuries they want and need.
No matter how complete or at what prices
merchants stock of goods may be; no
matter what bargains he has to offer; no
matter how anxious he is to serve you, the
people Who buy and who create the demand
will never know it. if the merchant or busi-

reliable and sure medium at his command,

Florida Should Advertise Her
Resources, Says Fletcher

Jacksonville, Nov. 17.-That the
time was never more opportune for
the State of Florida to advertise her
varied resources to the world was the
gist of the address of Senator Dun
can U. Fletcher at the Great Florida
State Fair and Exposition boosters
meeting held in the auditorium of
the Jacksonville Chamber of Com
merce last ngiht, and in forceful
language, the senior member Of the
upper house in Washington from
Florida impressed upon his hearers
the necessity and value Of State
Fair to concentrate the energies, re-
sources and results of the labor Of
the citizens of the State for the ben
eft of the many thousands of tour
lists who will visit the exposition.
Senator Fletcher had just re-
turned from attending the big Su-
wannee County Fair in Live Oak,
and was filled with enthusiasm over
what he had seen exhibited there,
representing the agricultural, live
stock and educational possibilities of
that section, and he spoke with con
ytction upon this subject which has
been the one great means of hrins,-
ing every city, town and county in
the State together on one united pur-
pcse-to make the Florida State Fair
credit to Florida. In beginning his
remarks he stated that in every COM
nurity there were to be 'ound three
classes of people: those who were
there for what they could get, or
these who always knew Just what
they wanted for themselves: second
those who were always seeking per
sonal advertisement by seeirg their
names in the papers, those who de.
sire to be professional prominent
citizens, and third, those who work
for the common good of all, but
wrcse activities are rarely ever made
pullic.
Time to Advertise
Senator Fletcher was strong in hi,
declaration that now was the TIM
to advertise the respective ccmmun
tiles Of the State and the State a
whole, and called attention to tn
large building in Washington whicl
had been set aside and thrown opel
for sixteen Southern States for ex
tibition purposes. "Most of thes
States refused to taks advantage o
this offer" he declared, "ard amcn
thest States was Florida, alttougl
I'd all I could to induce the stat
to take advantage of this opportun
lty. When the last Southern Com
mercial Congress was held in Ney
York City the tenth -four Of the ht
tel in which the meeting was hel
was set aside for exhibits of the six
teen Southern States. 1t would hav
cost Florida $500 to have sent al
exhibit there, and of this sum
agreed to give 800, another $40
was donated from Miami but I coul
not rails the other 800 in the State.
Senator Fletcher was preceded b,
James Murphy, Of Palatka, Putnam
county. who spoke of the county fai
In Orange City, and of it's drawin;
p5wer to induce settlers and adver
tise the community, and he declare,
that the holding Of State Fai
would would be the best medium t
advertise Florida.

The Alaska daily empire., 1917-08-15

old boundary monuments establish ed by Great Britain and Russia had been discovered in the Chilkat river country. Capt. Richardson was sent to Alaska to investigate the re ports. They were erroneous. Later in the same year he was detailed to select a site for and build regiment al headquarters at the head of Lynn Canal At that time they were oc cupying rented buildings at Skag way. Fort William H. Seward was the result.
 His work in Alaska suggested two things to him--the need for , system of telegraphic and cable lines connecting the various military posts in Alaska and roads. He had pre- viously urged that a whole regiment of infantry be stationed in Alaska, and the strength of his report on that subject had resulted in the or. der which caused the Department to act on that matter.
 To conceive always meant to act with Gen. Richardson, and, just as his recommendation that whole regiment of troops be stationed in Alaska resulted in his assignment to select sites and build quarters for a regiment, so his recommendation that the War Department take up the project of road building in Alas ka resulted in the necessary legis- lation and his assignment to the presidency of the commission hay ing the work in charge. The re port written by him short time before had served as the starter for the cable and telegraph lines.
 For eleven years now Gen. Rich ardson has been head of the road building branch of the Government service in Alaska. Hundreds Of miles of good roads have been built, more hundreds of miles of trails are in use, communication great deal of Alaska with wagons and automobiles has been established and many of the previously out of the way places have been made available for the purposes of the people through his work. As head of the Road Com mission he has secured millions Of dollars for this Territory

AN UNLUCKY DIVE,

]. G. Hewitt, local agent for the
Santa Fe company, had a rather
close call last Tuesday evening, and
that he missed his final summons
for kingdom come was by the merest
chance. He and J. e. Beck were
bathing in the settling basin of the
agency pumping station. In max
ing dive, Mr.. Hewitt's head struck
one of the concrete cross-walls, which
rise several feet from the bottom of
the dam and are were placed there
to collect the sand. He was momen-
tarily stunned by the collision but
fortunately retained his senses suf-
f1ciently to reach shore, saving him
self from drowning Beck, who was
on the other side OF the dam, seeing
his companion struggling unnatural
ly and surmising that something
was wrong, hastened over to him
and assisted him out of the water.
Mr.. Hewitt had cut across the
forehead about two inches in length,
as result of the mishap, which bled
profusely. He was at once taken to

the wound, three stitches being re-
quired to close the same

HERE TODAY
COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AF-
FAIRS IN PARKER TO INVES-
T1GATE LANDS OF COLORADO
RIVER RESERVATION.

Hon Cato Sells Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, arrived i'll Parker
Thursday night, with party OF sew
eral other friends in the Indian SER
vice.
Commissioner Sells visit here at
this time is for the purpose of MAX
ing an investigation of the irrigable
lands of the Colorado River Indian
reservation, and the feasibility Of
their irrigation either by means Of
pumping plants or by gravity. Ac-
companying the commissioners are
Chief Engineer Reid and Assistant
Engineer Olberg of the Indian Re-
more or less familiar with the re-
quirements of the Parker irrigation
project 1t is generally understood
that Commissioner Sells is desirous
of more extensive cultivation of In
dian land, and as the surplus lands
of the Colorado River Indian reser-
walton are capable of producing
enormous quantities of foodstuffs, If
they are available to settlement, it is
believed that the commissioner will
lend his powerful assistance and
influence in having the reservation
thrown open to entry and settle
ment.
Commissioner Sells and party, ac-
companied by superintendent A. F.
Duclos, left this (Friday) morning
on a trip through the reservation,
and they will spend the day inspect
ing the local Indian project and a
large portion of the surplus lands.
A trip will also be made to Blythe
and Yuma by the commissioner and
his party, and they will probably
leave Saturday. This is Commits

MORE SHIPS NEEDED

LONDON, Sept 12.-It is learned
here that the entente governments
have agreed that the shipping situ-
alton Is the most serious problem of
all those facing the entente at the be-
ginning Of the fourth winter of the
war and every effort will be made
during the coming months to I'M
press the people of England and
America with the fact that the
greatest effort of the whole war will
be necessary to solve it. A govern
ment official Informed the Associated
Press today:
LAS Britains great effort of the
first year of the war was to create
a huge army, as her great effort for
the second and third years was to
create an inexhaustible supply of
munitions, so the greatest effort of
the fourth year must be, not only
in Great Britain but also in Amer
lea, to create a merchant navy to re-
place the submarine losses and supply
the constantly increasing demands.
