WEsTFLoRIDA's CHANCE TO HELP

For the purpose of conserving the rapidly
diminishing meat supply of the country,
bill will soon be introduced in congress
making it a felony to ship calves for
slaughter 1t is predicted that unless the
killing of calves is checked serious beef
shortage is unavoidable. While there is
some question as to whether the proposed
legislation would be constitutional, it is
generally agreed that some such action is
needed, at least until stock raising is
gagged in upon much more extensive scale
than at present The number of beef cat
tie in the United States is rapidly decreas
ing, while there is vastly increased de
mand for dressed meat.
The railroads have agreed to discontinue
serving meat in dining cars one day each
week, and hotels of the larger cities are con-
Many housewives, too, are limiting the use
of meat. All of which is helpful, but the
only real solution of the problem is in
creased production. The millions of acres
of land available for grazing must be
stocked with cattle.
In West Florida alone, enough beef cattle
could be raised to relieve the threatening
situation, and nowhere else are natural
conditions so favorable for this industry.
Some of our farmers are awakening to
their opportunity to aid materially in in
creasing the meat supply of the world
while producing farm products that will
yield highly satisfactory returns. More
should follow their lead and help West
Florida attain its deserved position as the
most important stock raising section of the
country

PERFECT ANSWER TO DIS
IOYAITSTS

Sooner or later the American govern
ment will have to come down with an iron
hand upon those who openly preach dis
loyalty talk and write sedition, and give the
Germany enemy aid and comfort by oppos-
ing everything that will make this nation
potent in war.
Some of those guilty of these things are
native-born,. and some are foreign-born,
who have become naturalized cieizens
If anything, the sin of the latter is the
greater. They came here voluntarily.
They assumed the burdens and duties, and
the inestimable privileges of American citi-

them. But once they did so, it behooved
them to walk straight, act straight, think
straight.
No better words on the subject have been
spoken than those by Chief Justice Andrew

NEGRO PALMS OFF.
WORTHLESS CHECK

E. F. Mortimer, colored, yesterday
presented a check for 81 to Jacob
Lipps, which had Joe Weiland's name
signed to it, and Mr.. Lipps, in bust.
ness almost directly across the street
from Weiland, let the negro have the
amount of money the check called for.
Within a few hours, however. the
check was turned down at the bank
as a forged instrument, and Mr..
Weiland, upon being later questioned,
said he had issued no such paper to
the negro in question nor to anyone
else under date of the worthless pa
per.
Upon this development, the check
was turned over to the police, and
the negro was later arrested. He
endorsed a fictitious name to the
check, which was made to 'cash". and
this difficulty caused the police some
trouble in finding him as Mr.. Lipps
did not know Mortimer. Later in
the afternoon, however, the negro
was arrested and pleaded guilty to
forging the name of Mr.. Weiland and
also to getting the check cashed. AS
proof of the plea, he had $3.50 in his
pocket, which he claimed was all that
remained of the money he had raised
on the paper. He is charged with
being a dangerous and suspicious
character.

How Moving Picture Is Made

Linda A. Griffith, in Film Fun.
 There is vast difference between even the writing of a clever play and the writing of good, strong motion pie ture scenario. The very first things the newcomer must learn are the peculiar limitations and vast possibilities of the camera. A play is rehearsed and little changes made each day as the rehear- sals continue. But each day one is look
 ing at the thing in the form it is even tually to be seen. That is, the audience will hear the voices and actually see the person in the flesh as at the re- hearsal of the play.
 How different in the motion picture studioi A five-reel scenario, with its 300 or 400 scenes, is ready for produc- ton. RehearsalS are in order The voice is used and speeches uttered as at the rehearsal of the spoken drama. But just here is where the director who Is a raw recruit, especially from the theatre, is apt to be misled as to values. He must never forget for a moment that that voice is a negligible quantity as far as the finished product is concerned, and that only photographic represen- tation of the actor is seen. Here is one place where long and conscientious study of that sensitive instrument, the motion picture camera, is necessary. With the proper understanding of the camera and
 
 file, three-quarters or full face, the wise director need only let his star be seen at her best. It would take more space than I am allotted to point out the things peculiar to motion picture produc- ton that must first be learned if one
 would be "a successful producer. From the inception of the story, the writing of the scenario. the selection of the cast, the selection of the star, photogra- phy, development of film, cutting of film, splicing and sub-titling it is some long job, all of which needs to be thoroughly understood. To do it well, 1t were wisest to take off ones coat, roll up ones shirt sleeves, and go to it. Be a super fl necessary. The top of the motion picture ladder of success has few men who so began in the movies.
 Many atrocities in motion picture pro- duotion and some very fine things can be attributed to those who have entered the motion picture arena by way of the stage door, The atrocities result in a measure from a feeling of superiority and over developed ego on the part of the playwright, directors and star from the spoken drama They are always going to revolutionize the picture busi- ness and set heretofore unattained standards in motion picture production. It were better they attained the stand ards first, and then did their talking.

Dodge Brothers dealers In the United States and Canada are beginning to re- ceive their first consignment of Dodge Brothers commercial car. Already ths car has been proclaimed favorite in the commercial field and dealers are prepar- ing for a demand as heavy as that which has greeted the other Dodge Brothers products since they came on the market three years ago.
 The building of the commercial car was influenced by the frequent and con- sistent demand for Dodge Brothers chassis for commercial purposes. The mechanical features of Dodge Brothers standard touring car were so well adapt ed to use for light commercial work that hundreds of business concerns bought the chassis alone and had spe

cial commercial bodies built to suit their requirements. Naturally, this practice led to demand for a light commercial car as part of the Dodge Brothers regular line of cars.
 The result Is the practical, substantial, and good appearing vehicle which is now being marketed. Precisely the kind of car you would expect Dodge Brothers to build" was the remark with which many dealers received it. The specifications are similar to those of the standard tour ing car, except for several details in which consideration is given the necessity for handling a much greater load. Among the details referred to are 33x4 tires heavier springs, steering post set at g higher angle and gasoline tank under the drivers seat. In view of the fact that the standard car chassis has served witf much satisfaction in commercial work

COMMERCIAL CARS
 MAKE LONG TOURS
Dodge Brothers Dealers, Eager to Meet Demand, Drive Hundreds of Miles Through Snow

It is apparent from activities to. be observed around Dodge Brothers works | fin Detroit that neither dealers nor the general public are losing time in their l drive on the commercial car department | Nearly every one of the long and con stant processions of passenger cars which leaves the factory gates for cross
 country runs to the homes of dealers Is | headed by one or more of the trim | appearing commercial cars on which de- | livery began only a few weeks ago. The | fleets of cars in this respect are not | unlike the great troop trains of trucks which were almost invariably preceded by a Dodge Brothers touring car or roadster when the motor system of transportation was introduced in the American army on the Mexican border. l Drivers usually are eager to be as- signed to the commercial car, for, in the snow and blustery winds, it's warm cur, tain enclosure is a comfort not to bs scorned. At any rate an emphatic re- mark to this effect was made by a party of Georgians few days ago when thel arrival from the warm and sunny south was heralded by the first snow storm ot the winter Owing to the difficulties ot freight car transportation many dealers from al sections of the country are meeting the demand for cars by going to the factory and driving them through to their destinations. This method win be followed the entire winter, regardless of weather conditions.
 Commercial cars already have been 1rtx ,nl. e.,
 Lawrence, Kan, Atlanta, Ga, Hannibal Mo. Paris, Tenn, Cincinnati, O., Water loo, Ia, Davenport, la, Johnstown. Pa, and Terre Haute, Ind. The first com- mercial car went to the Dashiell Motor company, Chicago.
 Commenting on the immediate de- mand which greeted this car Blaine Brownell or Brownell Auto company, the dealer in this city, said:
 Almost since the day Dodge Brothers began building motor cars, business men have asked why commercial car was not added to the line, as the standard passenger car obviously possesses rugged. dependable characteristics which could easily be made to serve a more general purpose. In fact, hundreds of owners who had experience with the passenger car bought the chassis alone and built special commercial bodies for use in their business.
 This car is Dodge Brothers response to that demand While the body is of a type that will answer most general pur- poses, it is simple matter to meet the precise requirements of any mrchant by building body to order. We can ob- tain the chassis alone for this purpose Department stores. funeral directors, grocers, meat merchants, contractors, draymen, plumbers and in fact, everyone who needs commercial car iny his busi- ness will find it interesting, at least, to study the economy phase of the com mericial car suggestion"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-02

it is apparent, with these extra assur- ances of stability, that the commercial car is destined to occupy position or importance in the light delivery field.
 The illustrated statement concerning the commercial car, recently issued to dealers by Dodge Brothers, describes the body as being of pressed steel, with a black enamel finish similar to the finish of the standard touring car. For en- closure of the car there is a set of sub stantial oiled duck curtains, for both sides and rear of the drivers seat as well as for the sides and rear of the body. The drivers seat and back are uphols- tered in genuine leather. The wire screens of the body are removable
 The commercial car Is practically 3 duplicate of the car which Dodge Brothers have been delivering to the government in large quantities for several months.

 gloos is more than ordinary schoolhouse It is in very real sense a community center.
 The villages gather in the schoolroom on week days for instruction in the Eng

 There Is also in the schoolhouse a room set apart where the villagers may gath CT at any time of the day or evening to sit around the fire and smoke while they visit At these informal gatherings ev- erything is discussed from the teacher. whose popularity depends to an apprecia- ble extent upon the number of presents he hands out, to hunting. the weather, the white mans ships. etc.
