LEE EXERCISES
AREPOSTPONED;;
NO One TO TALK

Exercises commemorating the birth
day of Robert E. Lee were not held
here yesterday afternoon, as was
scheduled because the speaker for the
the occasion, Hon. Lawton B. Evans,
was unable to attend.
This morning Mrs. Frank Harold
was advised that Mr.. Evans wa
threatened with pneumonia, and that
his physician had forbade him making
the trip.
An appropriate program had been
arranged, and there was considerable
disappointment.
Three years ago Mr. Evans was due
to speak here, but at the last minute
he was prevented by a death in his
family.

OF EGGS
WILL Be FIXED
FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRATION
NOT TO ALLOW ANY PROFITEER-
ING ON EGGS LOCAL NOTICE is
GIVEN.

The federal food administration has
fixed the price of eggs. A telegram
from Washington has been sent to all
federal food administrators, and was
given out yesterday by the county ad-
ministrator, Franc Mangum. 1t is as
follows:
"The poultry and egg section of the
United States food administration ad-
vises that after careful study of
costs and other factors involved, the
food administration considers the fol-
lowing to be fair wholesale prices fol-
storage eggs now in stock: For Chi,
cago, 40 cents per dozen for storage
first and Al cents for extras; for Buff
falo and Pittsburg, Chicago prices,
and a differential of cents for eastern
seaboard centers, Chicago prices, plus
o differential of 2 cents. We have
sent this telegram to exchanges.
II is JuS uCSIIC VI the 1OOu cluHihA
istration that the public be enabled to
consume the remaining stock Of stor-
age eggs at cost indicated in previ-
Gus telegram plus a reasonable profit.
Any one asking more than such profit
will be considered as protiteering.
1.-THE food administration holds that
wholesaler or jobber who is out of
eggs and must purchase to fill his rea-
sonable requirements will be permit
ted to such purchases at a profit not
to exceed 21-2 per cent on car lots
and 4 per cent in small lots, said pur-
chase not exceeding one weeks re-
quirements; but the burden Of proof
as to the necessity of the purchase lies
with the buyer. Consumption OF stor-
ed eggs at this time is necessary, as
their food value will son begin to go
down rapidly, and your assistance to-
ward securing this consumption will
be appreciated.

Only the men at the front can fully realize the

Men in the trenches come down to fundamentals

pause to think of the eternal verities. The nat
ural tendency is to turn to the simplest form
of reIigion-their religion. When man is fac
ing death it does not make much difference
whether he is Jew or Gentle, Catholic or
Protestant, and the closer one gets to the front
the less he finds of ritualism and Journalism. The
Y. M. C. A. is helping men in religious need.
There is no place for dogma and doctrine. There
is one God and faith in Him alone counts.
Moreover, men cover there" instinctively turn
to spiritual things sooner later. During the

France 400 out of 1900 men voluntarily asked
for copies of the New Testament. They needed

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The Amendment to the constitution Of the
State of Florida will be submitted to the people
on November 5th for them to decide whether or
not they will ratify it. This Amendment wasj
written by county superintendent and sub
mitted to the Legislature and after careful con-
sideration of the Legislature joint resolution
was passed by them, submitting. the Amendment
to the people.
The public schools Of Florida are several mil
lions of dollars in debt, owing largelySto the fact
that Florida nearly doubled in population in ten
years, and the income for schools did not in
crease proportionately. County sSuperintendents
of Florida have been reading continually in the
newspapers of the state cry for better rural
schools, longer terms, and higher salaries for
teachers.
The people of the statef and patrons of the
schools all agreed that they are willing to pay
more for the maintenance and Improvement of
the schools and that teachers should be paid
under the present existing Constitutional Law
OIL TIOrlQd, because Cne law un1lCS the county
levy for schools to 7 mills. When the z mill
limit was written in the Constitution of Florida,
the makers of the Constitution intended that
property should be assessed for its full value
But instead property has been assessed for not
over one half of it's value and in many cases
less. So it is plain that we are paying only l-2
mills on full valuation for the support Of the
schools. 4
1t is necessary now to raise the salaries of
teachers 25 per cent in order to keep the schools
of Florida efficient, but it cannot be done for
any length of time under the present levy
In Enid City, Oklahoma, teachers salaries
were increased Is per cent, but that was easy in
Oklahoma, because they have a. ID mill levy on
la full valuation of property. DON'T you think
that the children of Florida need just as good
teachers as the children of Oklahoma do ? Don't
you think that teachers ought tosbe paid enough
| to continue their chosen work of teaching and
not be compelled to quit and do something Of
less Importance in order to earn living wages :?
Don't you think that the training that our boys
received in the public schools of the nation has
had much to do with the success Of the American
soldier abroad? If you do, vote for the Con-
stitutional Amendment of Florida, to Section SO,
Article XII, and keep the schools of the state,
efficient.

ALLIES Plan TO
BOMB BERLIN
{ BY EDWARD M. THIERRY
N. e. A. STAFF Correspondent.
PASSED by Censor)


Paris, France, oct 26. - Bombs
rrattling on the roof Of the Palace OF
Potsdam-dropped not by one flyer but
by hundreds Of airplanes bearing the
coiors OF the Omitted States, England,
France and Italyl
An Independent, inter-allied air force,
as distinct an arm Of warfare and I'M
der as separate command as the inter
allied armies on land and the inter-
allied navies on the sea.
This organization, the expansion OF
the British independent air force, is
considered the strongest weapon for
victory and peace the allies possess.
And this is the plan for the aerial Of
fenslve against Germany.
Results Anticipated.
Development Of such strategic
force, its sponsors hold. will bring
about these results in the shortest
time:
Dislocate the munition industries
which lie at the root OF all German
military endeavor.
Deal a heavy blow at the enemy
submarine
Deal heavy how at the enemy
submarine
Bring about far-reaohing moral and
the heart and brain Of the central
powers
Supporters OF the plan declare this
scheme Of development OF inter-allied
air power affords the best and the
most rapid return for the expenditure
or man-power, material and money.
the allies air power my inform
ant said, could be accepted right
now fas the most prominent determin-
ingfactor for peace.
Dominant Peace Factor.
Just as the offensive is the domi-
mant factor in war so is the strate-
gic offensive the dominent factor IN
aiD power
The purpose of an independent inter
allied air force is, figuratively and lit
orally, ito darken the sky of Ger
many"
Allied airmen concede the high mo-
raj value Of such an individual flight
as Gabriel D'Annunzio made over vi |
emma, when he dropped propaganda
bombs
THAT may do for Vienna" my in
formant said, but something strong is
needed for ,Berlin-somethfng that
has dynamite and death. Berlin can
and will be bombed. Not by a single
aviator but by hundreds They can
carry war IN all its dreadful reality to
the kaiser's doorstep at Potsdam''
Would Spread Terror.
The salutary effect Of such expe-
ditfons, or series Of expeditions, may
be visualized from the terrorism that
has spread through the population of
such cities at Stuttgart, Mannheim,
Coblenz, Cologne. Frankfort, and the
other cities in the Rhine country al
ready bombed by British PLACES.
The independent British force. I'M
der General Trenchard. has had a num-
Der Of American pilots and observers
attached to it. There are six squad
rons OF about a dozen machines each,
carrying and dropping into Germany
upward of IS tons Of high explosive
bombs on each raid
The expansion of such force at
least four-fold with American aviators
playing their proportionate share, is i
planned. The force would be Of in |
dependent command and distinct from
their air forces attached to each army |
under the supreme command Of Gen.
eralissimo Foch and supporting those |
armies in their land warfare.

a shameful thing. If they go into the stockings

SteIIa-vitae
THE GUARANTEED TONIC
FOR WOMEN

Stella-Vitae has been in success
full use in the treatment of those diseases
peculiar to women for more than a
third Of a century.
For nearly ten years it has been
sold under plain, positive guarantee
TO benefit. Less than one bot
tic out Of every one thousand
sold has been refunded for, and every
claim for a refund has been satisfied.
Thousands Of letters like this praising
Stelia-Vitae and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.
rirs. e. n. Russell. of Mill Springs,
N. c., gratefully writes us as follows:
Il was in a most wretched condi-
ton; had palpitation of the heart
and would swell and bloat in a most
distressing way. When | began
using StelIa-Vitae | weighed 1O8
pounds. Now l weigh 135. l am
more thankful than can ever tell
you for the great good this Won
derful medicine has done me-"
Mrs Russell was at that critical
period, the ''change," and her sincere
gratitude for the blessed relief will be-
understood and appreciated by every
woman who reads her letter.
Stella-Vitae has proved boon to
suffering No.nanhood, to young girls
approaching their first vital period, to
women approaching til, anguish Of
childbirth, to women approaching the
"change Of life" Steila-Vitae strength
ems the female organs and promotes
regularity in the monthly function.
No risk of loss is taken by any suf-
fering woman who tries Stelia-Vitae
on our guarantee of the first bottle.
All dealers sell Stella-Vitae and will
return your money if it does not bene
fit you. Don't put off trial.
