Recruiting Service for the United
States Shipping Board

In the window of the Rexall
Drug Store, Seminole Pharmacy,
there is displayed a double-page
advertisement from a current Is
sue of a great national weekly
that brings the war on the sea dl-
rectly home to this section, and to
the store where the advertisement
appears. The proprietor of the
store has a personal interest in the
advertisement also, for it relates
to war work that he is doing for
the Government. Furthermore, he
helped pay for it-and the cost OF
the cad" for the single issue was
$4,000.
The advertisement asks for So
900 men, between q and 30, for
service in the new Merchant Ma
rine. In the language OF its head
line, it offers 100000 jobs at sea"
to clean-cut young Americans. 1t
states that the U. S. Shipping
Board will give them special
training before putting them into
actual sea service, carrying sup
plies to our armies and Allies in
the fighting fields of Europe. So
much Importance is attached to
this work that men accepted for
| it are exempted from call to mil,
itary duty.
The advertisement relates
further, that fthe REXALI
iSTORES throughout the United
States, nearly 1000 of them, have
been designated by the Govern,
nent as enrolling stations for the
IU. S. Shipping Board. At these
stores, right in their own home
towns, young men may now sign
on for training and subsequent
sea duty in the U. S. Merchant
Marine. "
The personal interest Of Mr. "
e. Mobley, in common with other
REXALL druggists, in this strlk
ing war announcement, IS con
tained in the concluding words Of

Able WOMAN CHOSEN
HEAD OF CONSERVATION

Florida has the distinction of hav-
Ing the only woman Chairman of
Food Conservation.
This lady is Mrs. j. t. Fuller, Of
Orlando, who was recently appointed
by Federal Food Administrator biax-
ton Beacham, to take the place OF
Mrs. w. M. Hooker, of Ocala, whose
duties with the Woman's Committee
of the Council of National Defense
had multiplied to am extent that pre-
vented her from continuing In the
Food Administration work.
Mrs. Fuller is charming lady, ana
in addition to her winning person
aJity has a deep understanding OF
business affairs and especially the
work of food conservation. She has
been very prominent in matters or
progressive nature such as nave Deen
studied by leading women OF Florida
during the past few years, and has
done great work in her home sectlon
for numerous patriotic movements.
Mrs. Fuller will shortly begin a
campaign of the State, and will make
addresses at the most Important
points of Florida, these meetings to
be followed by others Wherever tnere
Is need of calling attention OF the peo-
nle to food conservation. She will
also have charge Of the county chair
men of conservation, and in this work
will proceed along lines that VIII
agree with the original or fixed plans
of county food administrators. Being
well acquainted with household eco
Monies. Mrs. Fuller will be able TO
work directly with the housewives, or
at least will be able to make a spe-
cial appeal to them, while arranging
for special efforts or organized cam
naigns to be conducted by the coun-
ty chairmen.
Mrs Fuller's first work after TAX
ing up her duties was an address pc
fore the ladies of the Springfield I'M
movement Association at Jackson
Vile. and also an address at an eve
ming meeting where the serving
maids and cooks were in attendance.
County food administrators will no
doubt find Mrs. Fuller valuable as
sstant in their work, and she will re-
snond to all calls for aid in teaching
food conservation.

Deadly Marshes Of Siberia.

The largest extent of marsh land IL
the world is to be found in the low
lands which form part Of the steppc o.
Baraba, between the rivers Intish ana
Obi, In Asiatlc Russia. The region is
fiat and covered with forests. salt lakes
and qulyerinG marshes, extending over
an area which is not less than l0000o
square miles. During the summer
dense clouds of mosquitoes float over
the treacherous ground. Immense areas
of these dreaded urmans have never
been visited by man. The marshes
treacherously concealed under a sway =
ing layer Of grassy vegetation, can oniy
be crossed by means of kind of snow

THE EDITOR DISAPPEARED
He Was Carried Away by Two
Airplanes

A long story with a moral or
two might be written about a lit
tie adventure which The Herald
man had Tuesday, but he will
make it as short as possible. 1t
was about 8 80 a. M, while he was
war ing near the Red Cross head
quarters in the old bank block,
that the Hewitt Brothers in their
aristocratic auto and Mayor Ira
bue came along and invited him
to ride, saying they were going
out west of town to see an air
plane land in the sand-fats. Of
course he went, and of course and
of course and so on.
Norman Hewitt was driving at
his usual rate of 81 LIZ miles an
hour, and we got there in thirteen
seconds. immediately, there was
the familiar buzzing in the skies
above and an airplane was seen
circling overhead. Pretty soon,
another plane put in an appear
ance.
The aquatic birds took to flight
in terror and those that had nests
on the "fats" resorted to all sorts
of pitiful subterfuges to conceal
them-just as quail and bull-bats
do.
But we gave little attention to
the poor birds; we were absorbed
in contemplating Uncle Sans
eagles. The two planes landed
very gracefully and the Hewitts,
Mayor Trabue and this scribe
went up to them and extended to
them a cordial welcome to the
deserts, fddlers and delights OF
Charlotte Harbor, all of which
was accepted in the most cult
waited manner by the lieutenants
in charge Of the planes.
By the way, the names of those
urbane officers are as follows
Plane 3O85, Lieuts. d. Ellis~and j
d. O'Brian Plane 1918, Lieuts
W. T. G. Smith and A. M, King
all from Carlstrom Field, Area
dia. They left Carlstrom Fielt
at 10 is a. m. and landed here on
" fifteen minutes later. They
made a beautiful landing.
After a short confab with thu
self-appointed committee, thu
Hewitt Brothers, Mayor Trabu'
and the scribe, the aviators re-be
took themselves to the skies; and
after flying clear cut of sight
came back and landed again. By
this time, dozen more peopl'
had come there in cars to wei
come the aviators. Nobody, how
ever. except the Hewitts khev
that they were going to land here
otherwise, thousand peopl
would have been on the sand-fat
10 welcome them.
Well, it was very interesting t.
see the planes land and after
wards rise into the air, and it wa
also very pleasant to meet tn
lieutenants in charge and tai
with them. They are all fine fel
lows and eager to meet the HUI
devils, and we hope it will not b
long before they will be givin

running from IN cents pound in
the first zone to one-fourth cents a
pound in the eighth zone. The raise
in the rates will not be SO intolerable
as the nuisance Of observing the zones
and getting the proper postage, on the
different papers, and to the ordinary
county newspaper it will double the
work on the mailing list, and the pub
Usher will have to insist on cash in
advance upon all papers that are sent
to any distance. The free list will
have to be dropped entirely, as the
publisher will be unable to pay post
age as we'll as furnish the paper.
