DRANE'S LOVELY TIE
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
And Admiration From His Eel
low congressman

Under a Washington date line
Ithe following appeared in the
Tampa Times of the 4th -
Congressman Herbert j. .Drane,
of Lakeland, Fla, is wearing the
most elaborate necktie in all
ashington. 1t is probably the
most elaborate and patriotic tie in
the whole United States.
This necktie has attracted the
attention of all Congress and as
the members have crowded around
Representative Drane asking a.
bout it they have heard a pathetic
story Of a Florida woman's pa
triotic fervor burning brightly as
she sat patiently watchful at the
bedside OF crippled widowed
mother.
This necktie is sample of the
daintiest needlework imaginable.
so dainty that the women of the
congressional circle have marvel
led at the minute stitches made
with mathematical precision. 1t is
made of broad red, white and blue
stripes. Embroidered upon it is a
waving U. S. Flag. This flag is
perfect in all details. 1t has 13 al
ternate red and white stripes.
There are As tiny stars on field
OF blue and each star is perfectly
formed. Congressman Drane's
initials, III. j. d." are embroid-
cred at the flare end of the tie.
This elegant gift was sent to
Congressman Drane in apprecia-
tion of letter he wrote after visit
ing the Florida soldier BOYS in
camp. 1t was sent by Rev. G. |.
Stacy, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, Lakeland, and is the hand
work Of Miss Hoffman, 525 East
Orange street, Lakeland, who
fashioned it while tenderly caring
for her invalid mother, widow of
a Lutheran clergyman. The tie is
the joint gift of these two adj
mirers of Congressman Drane.
Congressman Drane is sched-
uled to make several speeches for
the Third Liberty Loan and is 60
ing to wear this tie on these occa-
,ions.

The clerk was instructed to send
copy of report of engineer of the
Charlotte Harbor Road and
Bridge District in regard to the
progress of the work on Charlotte
Bridge, to sureties of F. j. Stamm

The action of the board calling
an election to be held at the same
time of the June Primary to deter
mine whether or not there should
be compulsory cattle dipping in
DeSoto county, was rescinded on
account of lack of necessary funds
to care for the work at this time.
An appropriation of 100000 was
ordered from the Agricultural
Fund with which to purchase dip
for the .vats now constructed in
the county.
The County Drainage Commits
sioners were given until the next
meeting of the board in which to
make report upon the district pro-
posed by the petition of Fl. R.
Dreggors and others.
The clerk was instructed to no.
tify the trustees of the Limestone
Drainage District to construct nee
essary bridges on public roads
which their canals cross, the road
from Cookers to Limestone and the
Lily and Zolfo road now being

EIGHT TARPON TAKEN
BY TOURIST ANGLERS
Local Record Up to the End of
Last Week

Wm. R. Smith, the noted Chi
cago angler who is sojourning at
Hotel ,Punta Gorda and devoting
himself to catching big fish, land
ed two superb tarpon last Thurs
day. They appeared to be the
same size and were estimated to
weigh IS pounds each. They were
hung up in front of the hotel, Fri
day morning, and attracted the
admiring inspection of many peo-
pie.
Saturday, Mr.. Smith went out
again in the upper bay, and sue
ceeded in capturing two magniti-
cent "silver kings" one weighing
rs and the other 125 pounds.
These also were hung up in the
front gardens of Hotel Punta Cor
da, where they were seen and ad-
mired by many people both on
Saturday evening and Sunday
morning. Having caught one on
Tuesday previous, Saturday s
catch brings Mr.. Smiths record
up to FIVE in one week. The week
before, he and Mr.. Carrigan
caught one each.
To this record should be added
one tarpon, weight As pounds,
which was landed Sunday, by
Lieut.. John B. Shoby of Philadel-
phia, who is an officer in the avia-
ton service of the United States
and, at present, stationed in Camp
Carlstrom, Arcadia. The tackle he
used was rod and reel that cost
$125.00 and which was presented
to him, on his arrival here Satur-
day evening, by a millionaire
friend from New York. Previous
to capturing his prize, Lieut. Sho-
by had three strikes, which he
lost. This last capture, we are
told, put Punta Gorda one ahead
of Boca Grande and Useppa.
The reports and records of the
past few weeks show that Punta
Gorda is the ideal place for pisca-
torial anglers whose game is big
fish. Our bay seems to be alive
with superb tarpon, huge Jewish
and saw-fish and porpoises.
Why doesn't some sport har-
poon a porpoise? Eve think that
would beat tarpon fishing.

No Dogs on the Streets

Punta Gorda has taken step
In advance Of all other towns in
the state. By ordinance, all dogs.
whether muzzled or not, are pro-
hibited from being on the streets.
For the past week or two, Mayor
Irabue and Marshal Lipscomb
have been busy rounding up and
impounding all dogs found on the
streets, unless they were in leash
In hands of their owners. The re-
suit is that it is now a rare thing
to see dog out on the street; and,
when one is seen, it is very likely
that he has escaped from his own
er's premises.
Several good reasons, which it is
not necessary to mention. have
been given for the anti-dog 9rdi-
nance. The best one probably is
the fact that hydrophobia has az
peared in Tampa and we don't
want to take any risk of it's ap-
pearing here.

Sebring Against Brother Jones

Just a short time ago, Editor E
r. Jones of the Arcadia Daily
News, announced himself as a can.
didate for the high Office Of repre-.
entative in the legislature from
grand old DeSoto county. This is
unfortunate in many ways.
First, Editor Jones comes out
and says county division is unpa.
riotic at this time. For eighteen
years, according to the powers
that be over in Arcadia, this move
on the part of the east end has
been rmpatriotic. With this sim
pie issue passed up, the candidate
takes up another matter.
Second, this other matter, is one
hat seems to be near to Editor
Jones heart. He takes a broad
stand in it; in other words, he
lodges the issue completely. The
matter~of "no-fence" is the para
mount issue, according to many in
the Arcadia district. 1t is an i'm
portant question and one that is
going to be settled right, when ii
lis settled. incidentally, Editor
Jones remarks that the cattle in
dustry of Florida has been a great
one. We agree with him in that
much. The development of Desc
0 county, the bringing in of men
,f means and enterprise, is a
rreater one; and right here we
would like to ask Editor Jones to
tate where he will be on the ques-
ion. No use to leave it to the
,eople. Where are you at on this
'uestion, Bro. Jones?
Right here let us say that the
,ast end wants division of the
ounty. To secure the support of
this end of the county, man will
certainly have to give his plat
form; and, in this particular, Edi-
tor Jones has made himself quite
clear: hence we are forced to be
qually clear and must tell him
squarely that we do not nor can
we endorse him, and we are of the
opinion that there are many more
in this section that feel the same
way about it. SO we shall have to
look further, and the White Way
rises to remark that its support is
going to the man that can give the
relief as regards county division.

With his mind set free of depress-

|. He came to the buyer for one Of the
biggest department stores not In the
buying hours, but just before lunch
time.
Look here, Mr.. Warren" he said,
genially Lets combine business
with pleasure. It'll be pleasure to
me to have you my guest for lunch.
And what I'll talk about will be bust
ness. You can listen just as intelli-
gently about my new books over a
steak as in your office. And both Of
us will be saving good business time"
1t was no new proposition to Mr..
Warren. Other men had proposed it
to him. Only they were not the steady
going kind Ferrol was. Usually he
frowned on this effort to bribe his
judgment as he saw it. But Ferrol in
geniously won him over to the idea.
You're thinking, Mr.. Warren, that
I'm trying to bribe you with lunch"
Ferrol said. "Well, it's precisely what
/ should like to do. But I have no
such hope. I'm afraid you'll Judge my
wares just as strictly as though I'd
proven a poor bunch. The most
hope is to get ten minutes more of
your listening time than could get
otherwise"
Ferrol's openness disarmed Mr.. War
ren's suspicion, and the costly, excel
lent treat he provided warmed his
business judgment to a kindlier view
of FerroPs wares. Ferrol's suit of
Kings Own" cloth had also had it's
modicum of effect, as Ferrol had fore
seen. Warren noted it, and a tiny
thought-seed dropped into the topsoil
Of his sub-conscious judgment, where
1t took root.

other buyers if he can afford such ex-

ing the goods these days-and good
goods"
Ferrols frequent dreams and long
ings for excellent food, drink and to-
bacco now came in good stead. He
took the buyer to one of the best res
taurants in the city and ordered like
a gourmet. He knew the bill would
be a staggerer-and it was. But SO
was the bill of goods which Warren
ordered under the influence Of excel
lent f1let mignon, fresh mushrooms, a
taste of cool Rhine wine and the best
Of Havana cigars.
Ferrol came back with an order
which. combined with the dinner he
err, made him feel that hard times
were over. A new regime had set in.
On the face of it, his idea of lavish
treating had justified his hopes ten
fold.
He made his new method perman-
ent policy in selling. His best work
ing time became the luncheon hour.
1t cost him disturbing amount of
money. But some of it came back in
increased sales from susceptible buy
ers. Most of it came, however, from
the rising Of Bonanza Copper. He
had not yet drawn on it, but it was
there just as though it were in the
bank to his credit, Ferrol knew.
In the shortest time one can form
habit. Ferrols new free-hand policy
of combining business with pleasure
at lunch time took hold of him with
the strength of a powerful appetite
Commissions did not come in fast
enough to foot the bills He began to
draw on what was left of his little
