How To Vote, Tuesday


Unless voters who approve the
adoption of the "no-fence" law in Pi-
|nellas county read their ballots care
fully when they go into the voting
booths Tuesday they may fall into
the error that has been con non with
those who are supporting the measure
The Daily Times has been 4 party to
this error by persistently urging the
voters to vote eyes" for the law, when
the wording of the ballots makes it
necessary for those who favor the law
to vote mo"
Instead of putting the question on
whether the law shall be adopted OF
rejected the ballot states tie actual
condition in these words:
''Shall horses, mules, cattle or 9TH
er grazing animals run OF roam at
large in Pinellas county?"
Those who read the ballot carefully
will be fully advised as to how they
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-10-22

shall vote, but those who may have
thought of the question in the other
light may carelessly record a vote
against the measure by placing a
cross after the wrong answer.
Get it clear in your minds before
you go into the voting booths that
If you want the law to become effect
i've you should place cross after the
word mo"
Opponents of this law have seized
upon this misunderstanding to bewil-
der the voters and all those who are
working to Danish the roaming live
stock from the lands and highways of
the county should read carefully the
ballot and urge their friends to do
likewise. If the voters will read and
answer the question asked there can
be no doubt as to the proper register

The Revival Has
Started Off Well
AT M. E. Church

Excellent congregations greeted the
Rev. Mr.. Thrower at the special reviv-
al services at the First Methodist e.
Church, South, yesterday, both morn
ing and evening. Numerous friends
gave him warm welcome, and there
were many expressions of qualification
at his presence in assisting in the
revival. The singing was bright and
spirited, and the whole atmosphere
breathed of devotion and faith in God.
The speaker used as the text of the
morning, Isaiah 1:18, "Come now, and
let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool" He announced as his sub
ject, Goods Great Challenge" and
showed that Christianity, Gods last
and supreme revelation, met every de-
mand of mans nature, mental, moral,
and spiritual. He told how God had
REVEALED himself to unbeliever after
unbeliever who had fairly met Gods
challenge to reason with him, remov-
ing every atom of doubt and unbelief.
This was illustrated with number of
ticking incidents personally known to
the speaker.
At the evening service Mr. Thrower
gave most vivid and powerful de-
scription of Gods answer by fire on
Mt. Carmel in response to Elijah's
obedient faith. He declared that COG
was ready today to meet his peoples
faith in an. answer of fire. That
through one consecrated man a
mighty revival of religion would flash
from the skies. At the close of the
sermon many went forward in token
of their willingness to cooperate by
attendance, prayer, and work in a fea,
revival ssv7ce at this time. )
M1,. Thrower will speak this evening
on "A Spiritual Vision He announc-
ed that he had real message from
God for the people. You should GER
ttainly hear him. Other pastors and
choirs are expected to be present and
take part. Services every day at
and Z p. m. This is real emporium
lily.

Mr.. ]. c. BEEKMAN NOTICED
A FEW THINGS WHILE
VISITING KIsSIMhEE !!

was IN klsslmmee few days ago,
and | noticed a few things. | noticed
first that there was an atmosphere q
cordially; the people generally no
ticed US and bowed or spoke pleasant
", and it felt good. I noticed that
they have been careful to save tn
the line of the sidewalk had been built
around rather than cut out, because it
takes years for fine tree like that
to grow to such size, and wherever
possible the trees along the streets
were saved. The consequence is that
most of the streets there are well,
shaded with fine natural trees just If
regular enough to give honey look
and comfy feeling. | also noticed
that the county roads in both Polk and
Osceola counties are constructed of
sand-asphalt and more building. They
look fine and the cars glide over them
as if oiled. l could see no wear on
these roads that had been built year
or more. | naturally thought about
our beautiful bargain for our county
system of $715,000, of nine-foot brick
roads and $35, 900 paid to engineers to
see that we got the worth of the mon
ey in construction according to speci-
fication. And I remembered that at
the time we were arguing on materials
and contract there was committee of
representative business men from Polk
county who came to Tarpon Springs
to look at our little stretch of sand
asphalt road which they had heard of,
and they liked it. They were touring
the state studying the paved roads
and making notes to determine the
best roads for them to build in their
county for their bond money. They
certainly have the smoothest and best
looking roads / have seen; they look
ali right and the people there are sat
isfed with what they have got for
their money.

bombed the port of Ostend, Belgium,
which is being used by the Germans
as submarine base. The Berlin of
fetal statement says numerous houses
in the town were damaged by the
shells from the naval guns.
On the fighting front in Belgium,
heavy artillery activity on the part of
the British and French continues, with
the Germans answering spiritedly on
various sectors. No infantry actions
have taken place, except in the nature
of reconnaissance. There also have
been violent artillery duels. In Cham
payne the Germans delivered some
what heavy infantry attacks against
the French west of Mont Cornillet.
but were repulsed.
tween the Italians and Austrians in
the Trentino region and along the Ju-
liam front, the Austro-1talian theater
and between the Entente forces and
Teutonic allies in Macedonia.
In East Africa there he's been re-
newal of intensive fighting between
British and German troops, in which
the Germans were defeated near Ny
angao. Later, however, the Germans
returned to the fray, and at last &C
counts a new battle was in progress.
Heavy losses had been sustained by
both sides when the last reports were
sent to London.
The preliminary parliament has
opened in Petrograd. Premier Keren-
sky made the opening speech and was
loudly applauded when he announced
that while Russian desired peace, she
never would bow her head to force.
