certain that nobody can know on one
day what will happen on the next, but
the bolshevists are in such a strong
position that no other party at present
Is able To turn them out. He said the
b~olshevists will be the ruling power as
long as they are able to keep their
promises to the people.
Sir George declared that Foreign
Minister Trotzky was working whole
heartedly for peace and at the same
time fighting the Germans with their
own His propaganda in Ger
many certainly had had a certain
amount of success, although the Ger
mans denied il.
Whatever happened, Sir George, who
Is returning to London on leave OF alb
sence because of illness, said he was
convinced that Russia's role as an &C
tive participant in the war was ended.

aims Of the United States has been
published in full by the Berlin news
papers and by papers in other northern
cities Of Germany, according to re-

from Copenhagen. The department
probably will now cease efforts to dis

The Superiority of the
AmpicO Reproducing
Piano Is Too Marked
to Be Denied

There is really no basis of compare
son between the Ampico Reproducing
Piano and any other reproducing or
player-piano, because the principles
are entirely different.
You may have heard all the other
player types and not realize, until you
have heard the Ampico, how marvel
Ously the human performance can be
reproduced.
The reason for this is that the AM
pico records are all made by vibration
Of the piano wires, whereas the ordi-
nary player-piano records a note
through the impression made by a
punch on the roll.
In the latter case the impression
ends when pressure is removed from
the key In the Ampico record the
sound registers as long as the note
SINGS. 1t reproduces what musi-
clans term the chemistry of tone"

you will find five Of the most cele-
brated pianos of America incorpo-
rated into Ampico reproducing pianos.

The old story of Columbus making

to push his boat, the "Caraval," few
leagues farther on. and mere matter of

Columbus, sitting by and hearing
what was said, took an egg from the dish
on the table, proposed that they should
show their ingenuity by making the egg
stand on it's end.
The egg travelled all around the table

in some sections. A man from a

here this week that banks in his
town were losing money because
they have so much money on de-
post. They are afraid to loan it
to prospective cotton growers for
fear of the boil weevil; and if they
hold it, will have to pay interest
to the depositors. Too much pros

South Florida's Great Daily

On New Years Day, the Tampa
Tribune became twenty-five years
old. Every newspaper reader In
Florida and thousands outside the
state are acquainted with the fame
of the Tribune, but all the people
of South Florida are not only &C
quainted with its fame, but they
know and appreciate its greatness
and are proud Of it. The growth
and development of the Tribune
from a small, insignificant jour
nalistic starveling into great and
powerful metropolitan daily has
been one of the wonders of South
ern journalism. Its phenomenal
success is due to the energy, sagac-
ity, tireless perseverance and un-
faltering devotion to the interests
of Tampa, of South Florida and of
the state in general, which, since
it started on it's career, have been
the leading characteristics of it's
founder. Col. Wallace F. Stovall.
In brief reference to his expe-
rience, made in Mondays Tribune,
Col. Stovall says:
"The Tribune and the editor
have within the past few days eel
ebrated our birthdays. There
seems to be kaleidoscope move
ment of events. 1t seems only
yesterday when we first started
the Tribune without money, in
fuence or friends and day before
yesterday when we borrowed $25
from d. E. McIver, an Ocala
friend, to buy a Washington hand
press from, Editor A. p. Jordan,
then of Brooksville, to establish
the Lake Weir Independent. Time
do move"
In another paragraph, he says:
During the Tribune's entire |
existence it h"c labored conscien-
tiously for the development and |
prosperitr of Tampa and all South |
Florida, and it Ill continue its
onward course until Tampa is the
Los Angeles of this state, and the
Tribune the New York World of
Florida journalism. "
Well, if the Tribune doesn't
make Tampa another Los Angeles,
it will make it another New York, |
which is better. At any rate,
thousands of friends wish for the
Tribune the greatest success in all
its laudable undertakings. May
its noble editor live to see Florida
the wealthiest and grandest state
in the Republic and Tampa the
most brilliant city in America,

ly patronized by the home mer-
chants, and that shows the kind of
people who are keeping Arcadia
