PIGEONS AFFECTED BY
WAR RATI0NS AND AIR RAIDS

London.-The pigeons of St. Paul's
are not as fat as they used to be. Wa,
rations and air raids have affected
them materially.
Visitors to .London's famous cathe
dral are not as numerous as they were
In pre-war days and even those per
sons who do feed the pigeons nova
days don't care to pay twenty-five
cents for pint of peanuts just to see
the big birds peck. It's violation OF
the defense of the realm act to feed
bread to the birds, so the pigeons have
to content themselves principally with
scanty leavings from the cab-horses
dinner bags.
The pigeons of st. Paul's and of all
London, too, dread the buzz of an air
plane propeller overhead and even
during the daytime when an observing
allied aviator appears in the sky-and
this is almost daily-the pigeons fiut-
ter about and fret considerably until
he is out of sight.
And at night, when the Boches have
come, dropping bombs and things. the
pigeons are out in a jiffy from their
roost in the belfry wherein is hrng

until daylight. They spend the re-

STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN

"A
A copy of the latest catalogue of the
Florida State College for Women has
been received. 1t is a book of 127
pages and gives brief statement of
all the activities of the college. /.
From a general overview of the cat
alogue it is evident that the state
College for@Women is one of the lead
ing woman's colleges in the country.
1t has the following divisions: Col
lege of arts and sciences; school of
education and normal school; school
of home economics, school of music.
school of art, school of expression,
and physical education, business de
these e depaaqeefsffasp siSRR aHiSifRf5nf.o t a.
courses under the direction of able
faculties.
The staff, including teachers and of
ficers, is composed of 65 men and
women. The enrolment in the win
ter form of 1917-1S was $780, If to
this be added that of the summer
school for teachers and the short
course in home economics, the total
enrolment was 951. The student
body represents practically every
county in the state.
There are nine buildings on the
campus when the. new education build
ing now under construction is com.
p'eted. The college also operates g
large farm to supply the dining room
with milk and vegetables, thus reduc-
ing the cost of living on the campus.
1t is to be noted that all these high
grade facilities are offered at a very
low cost, making it possible for every
Florida girl to get a first class col
lege education. Florida offers hel
daughters the very best.

SOUTHERN PORTS AND THE
WEST COAST ROUTE.

The Leared is informed that a sur
yey of southern shipping ports will be
put under way in the near future by
the National Shipping boards For.
and Harbor Facilities commission, as
part of the boards plans for develop
ing fuller use of all southern harbors
in the hope of reliving congest.va. II
the eastern ports.
We had sad experience in port con-
gestion last winter when it became
necessary to suspend all manufactur-
ing industries for period of time to
allow for clearing the ports, and the
Shipping board anticipates the neces-
sity for opening new ports to take
care of the great amount of traffic
and have turned to the southern ports
! this purpose.
When the roads are all frozen in the
t2rth this coming winter traffic will
he diverted to southern ports which
have been determined upon, and ships
will be there to take their precious
cnrgoes to our allies across the water.
Doubtless this will be great thing
for Tampa. With the opening of the
West Coast rail route trains will come
from the middle west direct to Tam
pa. Of course there are New Orleans,
Mobile, and Pensacola to be consider
as being nearer the. middle west,
but likely these ports will also be han
ding all the freight they can and our
government intends to use all the IA
cilities at it's command to the utter
most until the war is Overland when
that will be no man knoweth. Pros
poets are that it will last many years
yet.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields.

Can Answer-By C. B. Galbreath)
In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on, We brave. The shrieking
shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully for all is well.
Your flaming torch .aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through;
To crush the foe, or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

WEDDING BELLS RING FOR
MISS KATHERINE SNITz[S

A beautiful wedding took place Sun
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Hattie Smitzes, when Miss Katherine
Smitzes and Mr.. Cossas Lenas were
united in marriage. The ceremony
was performed at 4:30 o'clock by Rev.
Father Davis, the double ring service
being used. Only few close friends
were present, including several Am
erican friends of the bride.
Miss Smitzes made a strikingly
handsome bride, gowned in white sat
in and georgette crepe, and carrying
a shower bouquet of lace fern, white
roses and lilies of the valley, her veil
being caught with orange blossoms.
Mrs. Peter Economies was matron of
honor, and Mr.. TIL. Salonfass best
man.
Immediately following the ceremony
delicious cakes, cherry punch and can
dies were served, and the bride and
groom received the congratulations of
the guests, after which they departed
for Tampa. After a weeks stay there
the young couple will take up resi-
dence in Fort Myers, where Mr.. Lenas
is engaged in business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lenas have the we'll
wishes of their friends here for long
and happy life together.

shell all night. He put his head over
the parapet gingerly and waited. Mo-
body fired at him. He felt somehow
that the night was waiting for him,
that something uncanny and unex-
pected would happen soon. He heard
voices in communication trench
somewhere behind him; there were a
few sentences of gruff, unitelligible
conversation; the voices died away.
There was long silence. Cheeser fell
to wondering whether the night was
black or gray; he stared hard at the
night to study its exact color; the
night stared back at him and seemed
to be threatening him; it was gray;
/ gray and artful, like cat or fox.
at was uncanny, thought Cheeser.
| If shells would come, or Germans, or
anything at all, you would know how
to take it; but this deathly quiet, like
mist over huge valleys! Anything
rs,,oight happen. Cheeser waited and
waifes. and the night waited, too H
felt they we're watching each other
the night and he, both crouching, both
ready to spring.
"His mind grew so acsa.yye that his
head throbbed with the physresai e1-
ertion of thinking. He was wateh,l-sso'
with eyes and ears and Imagination,
hoping to anticipate by a second or
two the dread something that he felt
was sure to happen soon in the omin-
Gus mist of No-Man's Land. He
thought of throwing a stone out into
the b,ackness, just to see what would
happen. Then he began to wish fo1
his boyhood's slingshot, so that he
could catapult a nice round stone right
across the blackness into the German
line.
"a little wind blew in the night, toe
cold for the time of year. 1t made for
moment lane in the mist over No
Mans Land. Cheeser peered into it
but the mist closed round again. No,
Night seemed to say, you can't guess
my secret And the awesome hush
intensified. What are they up to now
thought the sentry. What are those
crafty enemies planning in all those
miles of silence?
Gwen the very lights were few and
| far between. When one went up, fan
/ hills of shadow seemed to sit and
brood over the valley; black shapes
grew up and vanished in the shadow
The rocket faded and the hills went
back into mystery again, and Cheesel
still peered level over the ominous val,
, ley.
"AIl the dangers and sinister shapes
and evil destinies that the sentry fac
ed that night cannot be pictured o.
described in words. It was only two
hours that he stood there, and not {
shell fell in all that time, not Ger.
man stirred.

that first night in the trenches. Tht
next time it is an easy matter"

WHAT WILL THE FIRST NIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES BE?

of The Associated Press. )-What will
the first night in the trenches be, is
a question that thousands of Ameri-
can soldiers have faced perhaps with
some misgivings, certainly with lively
anticipation. The experience of many
of them must be like that of British
ploughboy soldier described by LORD
Dunsany, captain of the Inniskilling
fusiliers.
"a mans first night in the front
trecnhes is an epoch-making expert

first vote, or his twenty-first birthday
1t is a milestone in his life, marking
the change from the mimic warfare

experience affects a solofsar by telling
you the story of a recruits ftl,SSt night
in the trenches. Dick Cheeser, ore Of
my men, was a ploughboy just past
18 when he enlisted, and not yet 10
when he went on his first sentry go
in the front line.
1T was quiet night, and dawn
was only an hour or so distant when
Cheeser took his post. The corporal
told him where to stand, and warned
him to keep good lookout, and left
him.
"There was Dick Cheesor, alone in
the dark. with an army in front of

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
by Lieut.. Col. John McCrae, Cana
dian Expeditionary Forces.)


In Flanders field. the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce head amid the guns below.
We are dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
If We break faith with US who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples
blow
In Flanders fields.

tention to the income tax and urging
them to be willing and ready to do
their full share toward helping the
Government in this particular way.
The assessors then held an informal
meeting in which they discussed their

GREAT YEAR FOR
AUTOMOBILE DEALERS

Nineteen eighteen will be great
year for automobile dealers. The con
yeyance by team and buggy is about
as scarce on the highway today as
TIE auto was ten years ago. And still
there are thousands of farmers not
vet supplied, but who intend buying.
Then the repairing and adjusting to
be done this year is enormous.
