Commissioner
Edw. Beckett
Complimented
HON. STEVEN b. AYRES RE-
MARKS ABOUT PROMPT
WORK ON ROADS

Our reporter had an interesting talk
yesterday with Hon. Steven B. Ayres,
who probably motors about the county
as much as any man in Tarpon
Springs and knows the condition Of
the roads. He compliments Commits
sioner Beckett highly for his prompt
ness in making the small improve
nents upon the roadways that are al
ways necessary to keep brick pave
ment in good repair. "For instance"
said Mr.. Ayres, II noticed in The
Leader Friday an item calling atten-
ton to the unsafe condition of the
roadway at the bridge just south of
the Methodist college at Sutherland.
Today observed that force of work.
men were there putting the place in
good shape. Commissioner Beckett is
doing good work and should be prais-
ed for it."

CONDENSED BUTTERMILK

A plant for condensing buttermilk
has been established at Grand Forks
N. D., and during this year will use
100000 pounds of buttermilk, max
ing $4,000 barrels of the condensed ar
ticle. This is part of chain of but
termilk condensing plants projected
for that section, and after the product
has been introduced for baking and
other commercial uses it will be put
up in small jars for family use. Bar
relied condensed buttermilk is also
packed for hog feeding. Matted butter
milk is said to be satisfactory soda
fountain drink.

DASHEEN BREAD

"Dasheen" bread with good toasting
properties has been contrived at the
Hotel Blackstone, Chicago. The dash
cen is a vegetable similar to the pota-
to, grown in Florida and very warm
climates. At the Chicago hotel it is
sliced crisp in the oven and ground
into dasheen -four in a. mortar ET3

According to the records of J.fF. C.
Griggs, director for Florida in the sale
of war savings stamps, the little
county of Pinellas has a better record
than any in the state. These figures
show that enough stamps have been
sold in Pinellas to give each man,
woman and child in the county $1.57
worth of the 'baby bonds"
This record is due first to the pa
triotic spirit that pervades the county
and second to the loyal work of those

Military and
Naval Meet
Big Success

The military and naval meet held at
Madison Square Garden, New York,
March Is to II, for the benefit of the
Women's Overseas hospitals, U. S. A.,
the first unit having reached France
on February 26, surpassed anything
of the kind ever before attempted by
New York city. More than 5000 per-
sons took part in the stupendous spec
tacle, including men from Camp Dix
and Lamp Upton, French marines,
naval recruits, the newly organized
state constabulary, the women's mo-
tor corps service, the women's land
army, boy scouts, girl scouts and vet
Grams of foreign wars and the Civil
war. Every regiment stationed in
greater New York was represented in
large numbers in the military and
naval pageant.
A monster parade with some dozen
bands in Incl led by Lieut.. John Philip
oousa, preceded each performance.
Following the programs of Friday and
Saturday nights came ball in the
garden, the band from the Seventh
regiment furnishing the music.
The meet had tremendous educa.
tional value aside from its spectacular
feature as it included military drills
and various formations showing the
daily work of the army as it prepares
for overseas service. A realistic eX-
hibition of how they fought the Hun,
shown by corps of British bayonet
fighters here on leave, was a feature
of great interest. An Oriental trans
port with camels, bullocks and mules,
gave an illustration of the campaign
methods of General Allenby's expedi-
tion in Palestine.
Jeanne dare was in attendance at
the meet in the person of Anna
Vaughn Hyatt, the sculptress, as a re-
minder of the part woman has played
in the history of the nations wars.
The success of the gala affair which
sets a record even for New York, not
ed for it's elaborate successes, is due to
large corps of New York women
who worked valiantly under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Elizabeth Ryle Strange,
executive chairman of the meet and
national treasurer Of the hospital
fund. Mrs. Howard w. Beal was vice
chairman Of the affair and Mrs Ogden
Reid, as treasurer Of the New York
State woman suffrage party, was one
tof the ardent leaders.
The worasn have had wonderful CO.
operation from every point. H. R.
Burnside, managing director of the
Hippodrome, and his assistant, w. G.
Stewart, supervised the staging of the
big spectacle and Augustus Thomas
as chairman of the advisory board of
the meet, contributed valuable aid.

who have had charge of the campaign
Folks in Pinellas county wanted t.
help Uncle Sam, or they wouldnf
have bought the war savings stamps
but they wouldn't have bought then
in such quantities as they have, if the
campaign had not been brought tt
their attention by the persistent work
of those in charge of the campaign.
Not only is the per capita sale Of
war savings stamps in Pinellas coun-
ty larger than that of any other coun.
ty in the state, but so far as reports
have been made it is the best in the
entire South. Not every county has
made per capita report, but of those
which have the next best is that OF
South Carolina, where the highest
county has attained the sale of $1.13
per capita.
Pinellas should feel proud of this
record. 1t tells to the whole state
once more the fact that Peerless Pi-
nellas is everything that the name i'm
plies. Peerless in climate, peerless in
hospitality to her winter visitors,
peerless as a winter home for thous-
ands, peerless in the production of
citrus fruits and now last and greatest
of all, peerless in proven patriotism.
Pinelias has put the pay" in pa
triotism, and with such a great rec
ord to sustain we should bend our
selves to the task of retaining not
only the lc2d in per capita for Florida
but for the entire south.
The sale of war savings stamps in
the United States reached on March
a record of 100000 per day, which
provides the treasury with about one
tenth of the entire amount now ex-
pended by the nation for the war.
While 100000 is only cents day
for every man, woman and child in
the country, the entire cost of the war
is only 80 cents per capita a dav.
How much sacrifice would it cost
you to buy one thrift stamp each day
and then lay aside a scent piece in
addition to buy an extra one every
FIVE days?
Even that might be accomplished
and the entire cost of the war borne
by the baby bonds" But such high
pace IS not set by the national war
savings committee, which hopes only
to reach record Of $6,000,OO0 day
or 6 cents per capita. Just about the
price of one cigar for each man and a
package of chewing gum for each
woman or child would make possible
this record. viii you help sustain
