TOURISTS CAR
STOLEN HERE
Denver Man and His Mother Visiting
friends in keokuk Have Their
Trip Nearly ended by
Thieves.
FOUND BY THE ICE MAN
FURRY of Search on insufficient and IN
correct Information in Absence
of Owner in Chicago
for Day.

The automobile tour of Reed Penn
ington and his mother from Denver
to the east seemed rudely stopped
here when his car was stolen last
night from the alley in the rear of
COG Franklin street.
But this morning the ice man
found the automobile couple OF
blocks up the alley. unchanged Now,
1t is stored in garage with the other
Fords not in use by their owners.
The tourists came to visit Mrs.
Bruce L. Gillian, and yesterday Mr..
Pennington went to Chicago for
day, while his mother went to Milton
to visit other friends.
The automobile was left in the
alley. In the early part of the night,
somebody started away with 1t. A
packing had become dislodged, caus-
ing the engine to make more noise
than battle in France. and it is
supposed this caused the thieves to
drop the automobile within few
blocks. a
Made Big FURRY.
The car was missed early this
morning by Mrs GilfiIlan who at once
notified the police. She had no real
description of it except the color of
its body and other points in its cos
tune, and the police were badly han
dicapped by lack Of description. But
Chief Henneman telephoned sur
rounding towns what he could obtain,
Including the Colorado license num-
bers.
1t was thought the car was locked
with two wheel chains and padlocks,
which would have made 1t a job by
professional auto thieves, but after
the car was found. this proved in
correct
After the furry subsidized with the
discovery of the car, 1t was sent to
a garage by Mrs. GilfiIlan for storage
until the owner returns from Chicago
at midnight tonight.

mains of Mr.. Barnett will be laid be-

At the urgent insistance of Capt. J.
D. Young, z. c. Worrell has taken
over the active management of Muc-
Ian Farms in Marion and Lake coun-
ties and will push food production on
this rich land in answer to the plea of
the government. For this purpose Mr..
Worrell was released from his man
agement of plumbing and camp out
fitting work in eastern camps but his
organization was retained Leesburg
Commercial.
We daresay Mr.. Worrell will make
fine manager, but why does Leach
speak of Muclan Farm being in Lake
and Marion counties? Muclan is elev-
en- miles in bee line from Lake
county, and tho the farm stretches
far to the southwark every cultivated
acre of it is well inside of Marion.
Leach is greedy He keeps on trying
to steal that Muclan Farm. Some
day we are going to have him arrest
ed for grand larceny.

SALE OF WAR STAMPS

Up to June 1st, which commences
the preparation for the June drive to
sell $20,000,000 worth of stamps in
Florida, the total sale of stamps
through the postofiees is 81, 154, 642.
Hillsborough county is still leading
in the amount of total sales through
the postofices. At this rate it would
take several years for Florida to alb
sorb it's quota of war savings stamps,
and it is for this purpose the June
drive was inaugurated. 1t is hoped
that by June 18th, which has been Of
ficially designated by President Will
son as War Savings Day, to either
sell or pledge for sale during the re-
mainder of the year Florida's full
quota of stamps. The gross amount of
sales does not represent the real
standing of each of these counties, as
they are supposed to be based on the
population.
In the report of bank sales appear
ing on the same sheet issued by the
state director is represented only the
stamps which have been sent to the
banks by the Federal Reserve Bank
at Atlanta. The fact that no sales
through banks are credited on this
sheet does not mean that the banks in
counties where such spaces are blank
have not sold any, for the majority of
the banks in Florida are receiving
their supply of stamps through the
postofices and these are represented
in the postoffice sales. Those receiving
their supplies through the Federal
Reserve Bank and which are listed
under, the head of bank sales are not
represented in the postofice sales.
While the grand total of sales thru
the postoffices and the amount of
stamps absorved by the banks for re-
sale show Duval county slightly ahead
of Hillsborough, the postoffice sales
for Hillsborough are considerably
ahead of Duval, and it also shows that
the actual amount of stamps sold in
Hillsborough county exceeds that of
the actaal amount sold in Duval.

OUTSIDE, PALE OF HUMANITY
That German Spies Can Be classed
Only as Dangerous Reptiles, Is
Opinion of One Writer.

It is not dishonorable to be a spy.
says the Santa Fe New Mexican. One
of the Americans we most revere,
whose only regret was that he had but
one life to give to his country, was
shot as a spy. The spy must be most
daring and courageous, must face ex-
trsordinary perils, must have remark
able nerve and resourcefulness.
That, at least, is the conception of
the spy which we had until the Ger
man spy got into the game and made
the word synonymous with all that is
most execrable in treachery and cum
ming, dishonor and all forms of evil. A
spy has come to mean an incendiary
and murderer, an assassin of women
and babies, a poisoner of food and
water. dynamiter and train. wrecker
a coward and a human reptile.
The fate which made Capt. Nathan
Hale immortal is much too good for
the men whom America has sucked
and who have become vipers at the
bosom of their adopted mother. The
sooner government valves charity and
leniency and drops hesitation and half
way measures the better for all con-
cerned.
The German who breathes word OF
disloyalty should be interned, no mat
ter who he is; the one who conspires
against the government or its work
should be promptly put to death. We
are at war The traitor at home helps
kill our boys at the front. Why should
the government parley with him?
