KESTREL GOING INTO
PATH OF HUN RAIDER

The last vessel to leave. Honolulu
for the South Seas, which may en-
counter the German raiders, is the
British steamer Kestrel, which sailed
from here last Thursday for Tanning
Island with four passengers. Roder-
lex Lamb, manager of the Tanning
Island property, his wife, H. C. Wal
dron and Charles Mathews we're the
passengers.
The Kestrel is carrying considerable
gold and food supplies which would
fatten the haul of the raiders if they
run into the little British ship.
Early in the war Tanning Island
was partly destroyed by shells fired
from the German cruiser Nurnberg,
which was afterwards sum- off the
Falkland Islands by the British fleet

More tourists in Florida than ever
before in it's history, and, with the
exception of about five days, Florida
has shown the best weather in a
decade. IL such weather has not
made us hundreds of thousands of
friends we are at loss to know the
reason. Our great regret is that at
this time we cannot show the usual
number of flowers and also that our
roadsides groves look dead and des-
olate; they came with their intelli-
gence, their refinement and their en-
ergy and their money; we welcome
them heartily only pausing to say
that we are sorry that they were
obliged to undergo short visit Of
their own kind of weather. the kind
they supposed they had left behind
them.-Florida Grower.

large quantities here, but he produc-

increased.
Much interest is also being mani
rested in the raising of hogs and cat
ne and the production of meat is
becoming very important item. The
erection OF modern packing house
IN Jacksonville furnishes the means

grown here and will prove a great
encouragement. There are already

An automobile ride over the see
tlon surrounding Dade City was taken
with Mr.. Slough recently and proved
10 the newspaper man that the
Paseo County highlands are rich and
productive in the extreme Prosper
Gus farms We're seen to stretch for
miles in all directions. producing all
the crops for which this section is
famous. The high rolling nature of
the country was very evident on this
trip and an opportunity was given to
make an examination of the soil
which was seen to be very black
wherever plowed UP and to hold the
moisture remarkably.
During the trip the property of the
Dade City Development Company. be-
ing sold on the furnished farm"
basis was visited The lands are be-
ing divided into farms of forty. eigh-
! ~. 120 and 100 acres each and are
being prepared for the purchaser ac-
eording to his individual needs. For
the buyer who desires to embark in
stock raising the barns and other
buildings necessary are provided, the
required forces are erected and Ma
tai bag and other grasses are plant
ed on the grazing lands If the pur-
chaser desires an orange grove the
citrus trees are set out for him or
any crops planted that he desires.
In addition to this the company
erects an attractive dwelling house
according to the plans selected by
the purchaser, so that everything is
ready for him to take charge upon
his arrival. During the trip. sever
al of these bungalows were visited
and were seen to be very comfort
ably arranged inside, each one having
its screened sleeping porch and be
ing neatly plastered
Mr.. Slough also took the newspa-
per man to visit the site of the new
gor course, work on which is about
TO be begun. The location selected
! for the golf course is excellent, as it
abounds in natural hazards. A site
for magnificent club house has
/ been selected on one of the high hills
( which is covered by virgin pine tim
Der. The view from this point is
+ wonderful and will be sure to excite
enthusiasm from all who visit the
club house The golf course is ex-
pected to prove drawing card to
new residents and especially pur
chasers of the farm lands, many of
whom do not wish to be altogether
isolated from the pleasures and
amusements of up-to-date communi-
ties.

AUTOMOBILE FOR EVERY
25 PEOPLE IN U.
Nearly Four Million Cars Are in
Operation in This Country Today

New York, March 4.-One automo-
bile for every % persons in the coun-
try,
More than 100000 cars, valued at
$4,000, 600 900. now in operation in the
United States
These are the amazing estimates
which have been made, as to the auto
show season starts, to reveal the I'M
precedented extent OF the motor car
industry in America.
Can such astounding expansion
continue?
Will we not reach a point where
the automobile industry will collapse?
vii there not be a disastrous re-
action as there was after the bicyc-
ling fad?
Can Use 100000
The keenest observers of the in
dnstrv answer NO" They declare
this country can use 12,000.000 auto
mobiles-a total which would APP
proach an average of one auto to ev-
ery family, This giant in size Is
still an infant industry, these obsery-
ers say. At least 100000 more au-
tos can be sold to Americans before
the limit is reached,
According to David Beecrof editor
Of the Automobile and one of the
men most closely in touch with ma
tional developments in the industry,
there is also an amazingly rich ex-
mort field which is wholly untouched
as vet by American makers, and
which viii insure tremendous pros
perity for years to come.

As for any parallel between the
automobile industry and the bicycle
industry. you must remember that BIZ
cycling grew to be a fad. and it was
the only fad that Collapsed.
But the automobile is not fad.
II has become a necessity.
Even the so-called pleasure car
is business investment. increasing
its owners efficiency, aiding his bus
mess and making his trips about
town speedier
But even when the domestic de-
velopment of the possibilities of avia-
ton are examples of these new fields
And then there is the export in
dustry, wholly untouched as yet.
We exported 1900 cars in the last
year. That is only per cent of our
output, And this big market prac-
tically came to us.
when our manufacturers are able
actually to go out and cultivate the
foreign markets. the export trade of
this country will leap in an astound-
ing way.
south America Africa, Asia and
Australia offer great possibilities. 1t
is the war demand which accounts
for a good deal of our recent exports

known manufacturers are going after

About 9:45 last night an east bound
Western Pacific oil train, in charge of
Conductor Lewis, took fire near Trego,

resulting in the derailment OF thir-
teen cars, ten of which were con
sumed by the fire.
There were thirty eight cars in tho
train, one of which was loaded with
coco oil and the balance with distilate
The fire started about the middle OF
the train and was soon communicated
to the cars behind. The train was run
ing at a good rate of speed which
famed the flames, and the car was
soon injured to such an extent that il
jumped the track, taking with 1t
twelve other cars. The ten cars ahead
0f the fire were taken a safe distance,
and the fifteen cars behind were
saved.
How the fire started is a mystery
II may have been through a hot box,
or lighted cigarette carelessly drop

of inCendiary origin.
The fire ragged fierceIy after the
wreck occurred, the flames shooting
