four-legged part in June Caprice's
comedy-drama, "The Heart of Ro-
nance" which will be seen at the
Royal theatre tonight. The picture is
presented by William Fox and is one

Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Lowe, Marion
and Earl Lowe, Miss Corinna Lowe
and Mr.. Grady Patterson took trip
to Tampa yesterday and saw the big
fish on exhibition there. MI. Lowe
gave Jus an interesting description of
the Monster, which we wish we could
print here. He gave us very start
ling piece of news when he informed
us that our old friends Captain NAL
colin Gum and Mr.. Earl Stumpf are
acting as ticket grabber and publicity
agent, respectively, and together with
Capt Thompson, who hauled in the
beast off the coast of Knights key,
are pulling in the coin. The fish will
be on exhibition Sunday at St. Peters
burg, and those desiring to see it may
do so by forking over so cents, which
Mr.. Lowe states is little enough for
the privilege Of seeing this wonderful
fish, and we think it cheap indeed for
the privilege of meeting again these
two former Tarponites.

THIS MAN is MAKING GOOD IN
THE FLATWOODS
From the Largo Sentinel)

y
1t takes grit, labor and cash for al
most any one to make success tilling
the soil, and especially is this true
when they go out and tackle a piece
of wild land and bring it into state
of productive cultivation, but that is
what H. A.. Van Nice has done down
in the flatwoods about four miles
southeast of Largo.
Mr.. Van Nice came here several
years ago from Nebraska and built
himself and family home on his hold
ings in the flatwoods and commenced
to clear it and get ready for making
a living. This was rather an uphill
business for more than one reason, but
the greatest obstacle encountered was
lack of the proper drainage so that
the land could be properly cultivated
sweetened and made productive, but
since the present system Of drainage
has been completed Mr. Fas-N Nice has
been meeting with greater success and
is beginning to get results that prom
ise greater returnes for all future eff
forts.
We have not made personal visit
to his place, but we have seen SAM
pies of the products from there that
were as good as could be grown any
where and his efforts this year have
been satisfactory from a financial
standpoint. One small plot Of corn,
we arc informed, has returned to him
about forty dollars, while other crops
have been reasonably profitable.
An cid saying that there is more
in the man than there is in the land"
may be applicable in this case, for
where one may succeed ten may fail,
but in any case it takes grit, labor and
cash to succeed anywhere at anything.

OUR BOYS COVER THERE" EN-
JOY TOASTED CIGARETTES.

Through the patriotism of the citi-
gems of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiersin France. Author
tiles agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country agreat
movements to keep our boys supplied
with smokes.
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are @going over"
all the time. There's something
about the idea Of the toasted ciga-
rette that appeals to the men who
spend their time in cold. wet trenches
and biliets.
Then, too, TIE -eal Kentucky Rurley
tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga-
rette gives them the solid satisfaction
of pipe, with lot less trouble.

Yesterday afternoon one of our
Greek citizens, Emmanuel Mandikis
by name, and SIS years of age, in
alighting from a jitney at the sponge
exchange, fell and landed on the back
of his head on the pavement. The
impact brought on internal hemor-
rhage of the brain, which caused his
death at / o'clock this morning. The
funeral will take place this afternoon
at 3 o'clock, with L. D. Vinson in
charge. Mr.. Mandikis is survived by
a wife, who is in Greece.
Mrs. L. D. Vinson, supervisor of
surgical dressings, wishes to request
al ladies of the town to give as much
time as possible on the surgical dress
ings work, as the allotment for the
month Of May is very large. The work
rooms are open every day and all day.
The splendid work previously accom-
plished by our women is deeply appre-
ciated, and we feel that they will con-
tinue to help in the work.
The best joke of the season happen
ed Wednesday morning, according to
DR.. ]. E. Douglass, when a negro man
jumped off the passenger train going
north, after it was moving, rushed to
the Greek coffee house on the corner
of Tarpon- and Stafford avenues and
asked for cigar in a hurry. The
Greek handed him dow box, and the
colored individual grabbed it and ran
back to the train, followed by two
Greeks. The train was gathering
speed so fast the Greeks jumped off
without locating the negro. That's one
way to get box of cigars for nothing,
but don't try this same Greek next
time-he's looking for black streak
with box of cigars, while no doubt
the big smoke is enjoying life reclin-
ing under the fragrant shade of his
pure Havana cloud.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
DISCUSSES BOARDING
RULING OF FEDERAL FOOD ADJ
hiNISTRATION QUOTED
All to Whom Ruling Applies Asked
to Take Notice and Govern Them
selves Accordingly Something More
Definite Promised for Next Week.

Editor Leader-Please allow me,
through the columne of your paper,
to call attention to the recent ruiz
ing of the Federal Food Administra-
ton. That the public may fully
understand it, will quote in full
notice which / received from our
State food administrator:
Attention is again called to hoard
ing. It is reported in several coun-
ties that many families have hoard
ed flour. Where there is more than
half a barrel Of wheat flour in a
home, it is prima facie evidence of
boarding. In such cases YOU should
notify the head of tho family that
unless the flour is again placed in
the channels Of trade he will be re-
ported to the department Of justice
for boarding, under section Z of the
Food Control Act. Hoarding will
not be tolerated"
Let everyone to whom this applies
take this as personal notice to
him, and govern himself accordingly.
This flour is to be returned to the
merchant from whom it was bought.
If you should have a little over
half barrel, do not return that, but
use it according to the rules and
regulations of the Food Administra-
ton. Those having flour bought from
merchants now out Of business will
have opportunity to dispose of their
surplus flour to their neighbors who
may be out, requiring them to use
it according to the rules and regu-
lations of the Food Administration.
| hope to have something more def
mite along this line next week.
Respectfully,
r. X. MCBRIDE,
County Food Administrator.
