How to Tell a Live Town

Every new resident that the
newspapers help to bring to a
town means more patronage for
the grocery, drygoods, hardware,
drug, clothing and other stores
says an exchange. The average
American is generally looking for
a live, wide-awake town, where
there are living and up-to-date
merchants. A good way to
bring more people to your town
is to let outside people know that
we have a live set of merchants in
it, and that they are imbued with
civic pride and are public spirit
ed, and are anxious to make pub
lie improvements. There is no
means of telling the outside world
anything about your town, only
through the town newspaper.
They do the work and others
frequently reap the benefit. Take
away the newspapers in a small
town, and see how many improve
ments would be made in them.
Also note how many non-adver-
tisers Ego to the wall. "-Zo1fo

Facts About Mosquitoes

kerosene oil on the surface OF the

every wiggler IN it. But thu diff
fculty of placing drop in the
cup of every palm tree hereabouts
may be easily appreciated by
those who know something of the
number of palm trees and the
agility necessary for reaching the
cups that contain water. There
is one simple precaution that all
can take, however, either by get
ting rid of all tin cans and other
receptacles that catch and hold
water, or turning them so that
they will not act as voluntary
mosquito breeders. Mr.. Hirsch s
demonstration has proved that
mosquitoes breed from clear wa
ter in less than three days.

Cornwall Having More Trouble

Local readers may be interested
in knowing that the Cornwall
Construction Company of Tampa,
which laid the asphalt paving on
Punta Gorda's streets, is having
in Putnam county similar trouble
to that had here. The company
had contract to pave with as
phalt long piece of road in Put
nam county, and had graded the
road and placed asphalt in bar
rels all along the roadside, when
the engineer, Frank S. Fagin,
held up the work of construction
because the asphalt did not come
up to specifications. That was
last fall, and the work has been
at a stand-still since then. Mean
time, the barrels have burst and
thousands of dollars worth of the
asphalt has gone to waste. The
Putnam county commissioners are
now after Cornwall and his bonds
men with a sharp stick" All
this we learn from the Palatka
News.

The nine were placed in line
beside the railroad track and in
front of them was truck upon

Progressive Baptist church, was
master of ceremonies.
First, large number of girls

patriotic, excellent address was
made to the nine by Rev. w. w.

They ar Little Government
Bonds and a Good Investment.

President Wilson has designat-
ed June 2Sth for this country to
make a great drive to secure
pledges to buy War Savings
Stamps. This affects every town
and hamlet in this country, and
every person is expected to do his
bit to help win this war. This
drive is to be under the supervis-
ion of the department of educa-
ton and will be conducted
through the national, state, and
county and local school officials.
The Punta Gorda Local School
District has been apportioned for
tv thousand dollars as its pro rata
share of the five hundred and six
thousand dollars that has been al
lotted to the county.
No one will be asked to pay
cash for the stamps, but will be
urged to pledge to buy between
now and December 31st as many
stamps as he is able. These
stamps will cost in June $4.17,
with one cent extra for each
month later until December 31st.
On January 1st, 1923, the govern
ment will pay the holder five dol
lars for the stamp. These stamps
can be bought at the post office or
banks, where the pledges will be
left. In the next issue of this pa
per, a full account will be given as
to how this campaign will be con-
Quoted. Watch the papers and

With Those of the Armies of
Today
THE soUTH's HARDsHIPs
Ports Blockaded, People Had to
Live at Home and Did So-Con-
federate Soldiers Suffered for
Food d Clothing-Today's
Army Splendidly Cared For.

A veteran of the war between
the states on the Confederate side
would offer a comparison of the
great wars of 1861 and 1914, not
in critical spirit, but rather as
a parallel, showing what was done
by the people of the South during
their family fuss and what is be-
ing done by the United States in
our great world war.
The ports of the South were
blockaded so effectively that
nothing passed without taking
chances with the Federal gun
boats, Today our ports are open
to the commerce of the world. The
suffering and inconvenience in
cident to a strict blockade cannot
be fully appreciated or realized
except through experience. Our
merchants had nonthing to sell,
and there was no market from
which they could replenish their
stocks. Their shelves were emp
ty; "store goods" of any and all
kinds were not to be had for love
or money. Homespun cloth, home
tanned leather, and homemade
hats and shoes were fashionable.
Blankets were made from carpets
taken from the floors and cut into
proper size. For coffee and tea
we substituted parched corn, nuts.
acorns, seeds, and burnt bread
and corn meal. This WASH t pleas
ant, but it was the best we could
do. Medicine was contraband
and could not be had. Bark,
roots, and herbs were used. There
was no complaint. The South
was an agricultural section, cot
ton the principal product. Europe
was her market, and the blockade
killed that industry The South
grew but little or no wheat, yet
she had no wheatless days"
Having no wheat, we used corn.
The South depended upon the
North to a large extent for meat
pork, bacon and beef. This was
cut off by the Northern armies.
Yet who ever heard of "meat-
less day. during that war? Of
course we were very often short
of meat, but no fuss was made a.
bout it.
The railroad facilities of the
South were extremely limited and
insufficient for transportation of
her armies and supplies, but the
government did not sieze the rail
roads and did not attempt to op-
crate them. We had no railroad
dictator The coal supply was
very limited and far below the de-
mand; but we had no fuel direc-
tor, no food director, no railroad
no meatless days, no
wheatless days. Much of the ter
ritory of the South was occupied
by the Northern army, upon which
we depended for all kinds of sup
plies for our army. We had very
few manufactures for cotton and
wool; therefore our armies were
poorly and inSufficiently clothed.
Yet who can say that they were
not efficient soldiers?
Did the South manage her af-
fairs more efficiently than is now
being done? She did not have
time to prepare her men for the
field by environments, drill, and
education. AS soon as they were
sworn in and drilled a little they
were put in the front line to meet

Experiments Prove That They
Breed in Clear Water
SCIENTIST TAUGHT LESSON
West Palm Beach Hotel Man Con-
founds Scientist and Others
Proves That Mosquitoes Can
Live Three Days Without Food.
Still Experimenting.

In recent years, the scientists
have been befuddling the world
with so many new theories, some
of which do not work out in
practice, that it is genuine pleas
ure to see one Of them knocked
out" as was the case at West
Palm Beach one day last week.
The story is related in the Post of
the 18th, but, before printing it,
we want to say that the theory
that ~malarial fever is conveyed
only by the mosquito is absolute
ly baseless. We had malarial few
er for two years and we are,
therefore, prepared to speak dog
matically.
But here is the narrative of the
West Palm Beach Post:
Frank Hirsch, proprietor of the
Lake Park Hotel, has been con-
Quoting a school in practical mos
quito breeding during the past
three days, which has been the
means of informing many of the
genesis of the pest; after he has
finished with this demonstration
Mr.. Hirsch will likely take his
classes through the second stage
which will treat of the exodus of
his friend culex and enopheles.
Mr.. Hirsch was inspired to
make this demonstration largely
by talking to government ex-
pert on mosquitoes and disco YER
ing the profslndity of the said ex-
pert's ignorance regarding mos
quitoes.. The expert had told Mr..
Hirsch that this section would be.
rid of mosquitoes forever when
the Everglades were drained. AS
an intensely practical person, Mr..
Hirsch knew the experts theory
was incorrect.
"Where on earth do the mos
quitoes come from?" remarked a
lady guest of the hotel
"They come from those vases
in your room that you keep filled
with water" said Mr.. Hirsch.
Nonsense" replied the fair
lady with some hauteur.
"I'll show you," said the genial
and confident Frank. And there
upon the proprietor of the Lake
Park hotel filled a glass jar half
full of water drawn from fau-
Get in the hotel, and he tied the
jar over with a bit of cheese cloth.
Yesterday was the third day of
the experiment. A hundred wig
glers were wiggling about in the
water, and half a dozen full
grown mosquitoes had graduated
from the wiggler class and had
flown up and were clinging ten
aciously to the cheese cloth top of
the jar.
The government expert had
told Frank that mosquito didn t
live over twenty-four hours. Mr..
Hirsch has proved the falsity of
this idea with his pet mosquitoes.
Three are over twenty-four hours
old and haven't had anything to
eat, and yet they are alive and ap-
parently contented and happy.
How long they will live without
food, Mr.. Hirsch will probably be
able to tell if he manages to mark
his first born in some manner to
distinguish them from the others
that are being added every day
to the forcastle from the wigglers
below deck.
The demonstration is being con-
Quoted in the lobby of the hotel,
and Mr.. Hirsch delivers lectures
at ten minute intervals during the
day.
The way in which to get rid of
mosquitoes is simple. A drop of
