curing a connected system Of high
ways extending entirely across the
state. Mr.. Clarkson's suggestion met
with favor and he was appointed a
committee of one to draft resolutions
to be acted upon at meeting to be
held in Jacksonville the next month.
At the Jacksonville meeting resolu-
ions were adopted calling for the APP
pointment of a committee to take steps
to perfect an organization having for
it's object the securing of such a con-
rIected system of roads through West
a Florida as had been suggested by
r. GARRISON. This committee, of
which Mr.. Clarkson was a member.
called a meeting to be held in Mari
anna in November, 1915. The meet
ing was attended by nearly 100 dele
gates from the counties of Western
Florida and resulted in the organiZa-

West Florida Highway Association.
Early in 1916 Mr.. GARRISON intro
duced a resolution in the Tallahassee
Boosters Club favoring the construc-
ton of a highway bridge across the
Apalachicola river near Chattahoochee
or River Junction. The resolution was
adopted and Messrs. ]. p. Clarkson, j.
Will Yon and r. o. Collins were ap-
pointed a committee to present and
urge the passage of a similar resolu-
ton at the meeting Of the North Flor
ida Chamber of Commerce to be held
in Chipley in May. The Chipley meet
ing adopted the resolution and the
newspapers Of Western Florida nave
constantly urged the building of the
bridge since that time
At the annual meeting of the state
road department in October, 1916, Mr..
]. d. Smith, of Mariana, secretary
Of the department, secured the pas
sage of a resolution pledging the de-
partment to do all within it's power
to secure an apportionment of federal
aid equal to one half the cost of the
proposed bridge. The department has
worked steadily along that line and at
last has the satisfaction of knowing
that its recommendations have been
approved and that the bridge will
now be built when Jackson and Gads-
den counties put up their portion OF
the cash required.

Descendants of Ship Wrecked Sailors.

Tristan da Cunha, To which, after an
interval OF ten wears, mail has been
sent from England, Is an island about
midway between the Cape of Good Hope
and the South American shore. When
Napoleon was imprisoned on St Helena
a company of artillery was placed on
guard in Tristan, although IT was 800
miles south OF the Little Corporal's
prison.
On his death the guard was removed,
and only three men left to guard the
forts. These adopted agricultural per
suits and did brisk business with pass
ing ships. In eight years the population
increased from three to twenty-seyen.

Somewhere IN France, Sept. 3.--Ac-

Fortunately for the Allies that IS one de
partment In which their avIators excel.
II is interesting To note the progress
made IN the weapons used by aviators.
At the opening of hostilities, airplanes
were used mainly for observation work.
Their plots were armed generally with
carb,nes. and sometimes only with an
automatic revolver Then came the fight

But these newer and 'm0re deadly

MIR. Hoover has brought back from
London many thousands of letters from
the British bows and girls aod his plan IS
to send AT least one letter 10 every public
school IN the United States.
The letters were delivered TO Mr. Hoov-

Some Of them were written by individuals
while Others we're signed by the children

letters were heartfelt expressions OF gratI-
tudc 70 the American nation which had
denied itself 70 provide England with food

something very beautiful and inspiring IN
the thought underlying them and for
