save their lives. They dashed out of
the barn il a panic. Boys in neigh

offer of rs cents for each horse cap

had to be shot. Twenty others may
die. Forty were owned by the gov
eminent. None of these were hurt.
Fire damage was $4,000.

BUY AT HOME-BUT
BUY ADVERTISED GOODS
(Sarasota Times)

| (Sarasota Times)
There is a great movement afoot II
this country. which is being cham
pioned by every paper of any conse
quence, the BUY at Home" move
ment
We heartily endorse the movement
but wish to add an amendment, /. e..
buy advertised goods.
1t seems to us rather too much of a
good thing for the local paper to be
eternally working to its utmost capa.
city to get people to buy at home
when the majority of the merchants
are not progressive enough to let the
people know, through the columns of
the local paper, what they have to
sell or the prices at which they wish
to SELL
Aside from this view of the mat
ter, the merchant who is not progress
sive enough to advertise is seldom
progressive enough to carry an up-to-
date stock of goods. or to buy to the
best advantage.
Advertising is not an expense, il is
an investment. The increased pat
ronage due to any well-written ad
that offers fair prices will produce
more than enough profit to pay for
the advertisement Therefore, the
merchant who advertises is nearly al
ways able to sell at a closer margin
of profit than the one who does not
advertise
We, at all times stand for Sarasota
and Sarasota institutions, but we too
stand for the best interests of our
subscribers, and we want to impress
upon each one of them the advantage
and necessity of buying their goods
from Sarasota merchants who adver-
tise-from men who know they are
only making legitimate profit on
their goods and are not afraid to ad-

Wilmington TURKEY
MARKET SMASHED

Wilmington. Dec. 2l.--The Christ

went to smash today under the drive
made by H. Ridgely Harrington, of
Dover. Offer by the latter OF So. 200
worth OF Virginia. West Virginia and
Maryland fowl at a nat rate OF q
cents a pound evidently got "on the
nerves of the King and French street
dealers. As a result they sold for ~
cents.
Meanwhile Harrington's own sale
was progressing at top speed. and his
new headquarters on Fourth street
were besieged by customers. all willing
to pay ~ cents fiat for birds.
The attempt OF the regular dealers
to undersell. judging from conditions
tbs afternoon, was not likely to have
serious effect. as there was every in-
dication that Harrington would dis
pose OF his full stock. Moreover. the
sudden cut in prices on the part of
the regular dealers was taken by pur-
chasers as evidence that Wilmington
heretofore has been mulcted in its
markets.

sending them along to the shipyards

U. S. MAY soon
HAVE CHARGE
OF R. R. MEN
Is Prediction of Director
Prouty, of Interstate Com
merce Commission.

New York, Dec. H-Prediction that
the time Is near when the railroad
workers OF the country will be either
the direct employees Of the govern
ment or at least under its direct su-
pervision was made last night by
Charles A. Prouty, director OF the Blu
reau of Valuation Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, In an address
before the Railroad mems Improve
ment Society.
The operation OF a railroad is a
government Junction." said Mr..
Prouty; although you are paid from
the treasury Of a private corporation
the money Is levied from the public.
1t seems highly probable that this re-
lation under which you are today d.
rectly the employees Of the United
States will ere long become even more
intimate. SO that you will be either
the direct employees Of the govern
ment, standing as such upon Its pay
roll, or at least under its direct SUPER
vision.
To Debate Question.
The actual operation OF our rail-
roads or any considerable portion OF
them by the government would be q
hazardous experiment at any time. 1t
certainly should not be resorted to In
the present crisis unless II IL abso-
lutely necessary. II the emergency
exists. and II no other effective way
Of meeting it can be found. then the
government should not hesitate"
Referring to the question Of wages,
he said:
III the wages fixed for you should
not seem liberal IL would devolve some
patriotic self-denial upon your part to
accept them, but your patriotism is
certainly equal TO it."
