SATURDAYS SPONGE SALE BROUGHT
s8O74 TO THE RED CROSS FUND
Those Who Bought the Sponge Paying Big Prices
The List of Those Who Gave the Sponge
VIII Appear Later On

There was some spirited bidding on
Saturday afternoon for the Red Cross
sponge which was contributed by the
Greek sponge fishermen. The buyers
all bid most literally and the sponge
brought SCOTIA.
Worthy of special mention is the
fact that Mr.. Nick Macrenaris start
ed the sales off with a rush by bid
ding $50 for lot No. 1 and then later
giving it back to the Red Cross. It
was re-sold as lot No. rs and brought
$58. This is the spirit which is car
ried through these sponge sales from
start to finish. The fishermen give
the sponge, and the buyers give much
more than it is worth, all for the Red
Cross.
There were 25 lots in all, which
were sold to the following buyers at
the prices set opposite their names:

their friends.
In the evening a stirring address
was made in the city park to a fair
sized audience by a Canadian soldier
from 'sover Therein. Watson-who
is permanently disabled after thirty
one months of service in the trenches
of France.
Other speakers made addresses, and
taken as whole the day was a grand
success.

Pittsburgh, May 20.-Sixty 4
charred bodies lay today in the tenn
porary morgue, and ninety-four injur-
ed are being cared for in the hospitals
as a result of the series of explosions
in the Oakdale explosive plant of the
Aetna Chemical company last Satur-
day. Officials of the company said
that PIP of the total working force
have not yet been accounted for.
Saturday afternoon The Evening
Leader printed dispatch saying that
there had been an explosion at the
Aetna Chemical works, Oakdale, near
Pittsburgh, Pa, with about $50 dead
or missing. This news brought con-
sternation to Tarpon Springs when it
Immediately became known that two
of our well known boys were working
in this plant-George Fernald and
Percy Webster. The mothers of these
two boys seemed to feel sure their
boys were lost and the telegraph Office
was beseiged in an attempt to get per-
sonal information, but all to no avail
until near midnight, when Percy Web
ster wired THAT he was all right out
could not locate George Fernald, and
despite all efforts up to the time of go
ing to press, George Fernald has not
been found, making it reasonable to
think he was among those called on
for the supreme sacrifice.
The last message was from F. L.
Cannon, an uncle of = Georges, who
went over from Cincinnati to hunt for
the boy. wired: George is miss
ing. Doing all we can to locate him.

When it comes to aising money for
the Red Cross Talpon Springs people
are never found wanting.
The great drive which began this
morning was in reality started when
Mr.. w. w. Clark, Of Wall Springs,
gave his peach crop last week, on
which was realized over $500. Then
on Saturday last the sponge which
had been contributed by the Greek
sponge fishermen were sold at public
auction in the city park and brought
SCOTIA, making over half the amount
Tarpon Springs is TO raise.
The par e cp 81 day afternoon
was very Aae and those who partici-
pated deserve praise both for their
handsome and correct costumes and
for the spirit of patriotism which
prompted them to march. The stores
all closed to witness the parade.
Leaving the school building about
A o'clock, led by the Citizens band, the
line Of march was through the princi-
pal streets of the city.
Following the band was Mrs. M. B.
Coachman as @The Greatest Mother in
the World" and she looked the part.
She has a boy "over there"
Roy Fernald, as Uncle Sam, was
some long and handsome uncle and he
marched beside Miss Matte Fernald,
as "Brittania," who was handsomely
and appropriately costumed.
Then came the physicians of the
city, followed by Webster Little and c..
C. Hill in home guard uniforms, car
rying a stretcher with a dummy on it..
The stretcher bearers were followed
by about thirty Red Cross nurses in
uniform.
A. P. Beckett, as high-class Chi
naman, was done up in grand shape.
A. P. recently returned from trip to
China and evidently purloined some
handsome and correct togs from the
ex-emperor. Mr.. Beckett is very reti-
cent as to how he procured these
things, and it is reasonable to suppose
that some man in China is short a
complete costume from wig to san
dals.
The school children marched in a
body and, as is always the case, were
enthusiastic and looked fine.
The doctors in their square college
caps were very dignifed as becomes
the profession. They were DIR. Al
baugh, DIR. Douglass, DR.. Belcher and
DIR. Carpathios.
The Greek Community was well rep
resented by a fine body of their lead
ing citizens and the populace, follow
ing the home guards, brought up the
rear.
The Allied countries were well rep
resented by Mrs. L. S. Fernald as
France, carrying the flag; Mrs. /. j.
Belcher as Italy; Mrs. Peter ECONOMICS
as Greece; Mrs. Ed Curry as Cuba;
Mrs. G. E. Noblit as Japan, and Mr..
A. p. Beckett as China, all handsome
ly and correctly costumed and looking
fine.
After the parade the sponge sale
took place in the park.
Something Of a gloom was cast over
the afternoon when The Evening
Leader came out with a dispatch tell
ing Of the explosion at the Aetna
chemical plant near Pittsburgh. Two
of our well known boys, Percy Web
ster and George Fernald, were work
ing there. The mothers of these boys

LET NOTHING BE LOST.

Gather up the fragments that re-
main that nothing bealost," such was
the admonition of the Master at the
memorable feast of which the Bible
tells, the feeding of the multitude
with the barley loaves and fishes.
Conservation in all things is the
slogan of to-day. A cry comes to us
to save all fruit pits and nut stones
as they are invaluable in furnishing
carbon for the respirator in the gas
masks for our boys over there, in a
little folder gotten out by the Gas
Defense Division, there is an urgent
request that we save these otherwise
worthless articles, at least to us.
We are asked to save peach stones,
apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits,
olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits,
butter-nut shells, Brazil nut shells,
walnut shells, hickory nut shells, and
surely with little forethought every
family in our midst could accumulate
quite a collection. Have a bucket or
some sort of receptacle placed in easy
access, and after thorough drying
in the oven turn them over to your
Red Cross Circle. Get the little folks
Of the family interested; they'll re-
gard it almost as kind Of play, and

THE BEST PROOF GIVEN BY A

The testim mOny is home testimony.
The proof convincing.

Mrs. J. T. Martin, 1924 Main

came on from a fall and the results
were very severe, causing me more
suffering than the fall itself. No one
can ever know what I went through

master General of the Army. The At
lant1c liners are so overcrowded with
freight that it became impossible to
send the mail by these. 1t now goes
over in army transports. These
transports are conveyed, and they
take anywhere from ten days to three
weeks to arrive at their port of des-
tlnation. The mail then goes into
the hands of the French Postoffice
Department for military distribution
to the front. 1t is little known fact
that for reasons of military neces-
|sity the French Government censors
our mail either in whole or in part
as it sees fit. Owing to our very large
force that is distributed over a 800
mile front, the difficulties of getting
the mail to the soldier now only be-
gins. Companies and regiments are
continually shifting. The soldier in
one trench may be in another trench
fifty miles away the next day. Casu-
alties and moving of the wounded
from hospital to hospital add another
tremendous difficulty. So it becomes
rather a feat of the finest efficiency
to connect the soldier at the front
with his home within a period of a
month at the least. Gen. Pershing
has put at the disposal of the expert
mail clerks in France the best mill
tary aid he can possibly devise to
solve the problem that everyone in
the United States wishes to see
solved.
