A Plain Statement OF What
Newspapers Are Up Against

We would not offend any of our
old subscribers, so remember that il
your paper is stopped, it is not be.
cause we are afraid to credit you, but
because Uncle Sam will not allow us
But it is not only the paid sub
scriptions that Uncle Sam has taken
hand in, but we are not allowed tc
send our paper free to any one.
A certain Florida editor boosted
that his paper was the first to send
papers free to our soldiers.
We never contradicted him, but the
Advocate sent bunch of fifteen OF
twenty papers to our soldiers when
they were on the Mexican border, and
paid man to write us the news OF
Company F.
We did the same thing when the
company went to Camp Wheeler. Blu,
now we are forbidden to send one
paper to even soldier unless the
subscription is paid, and paid in adj.
vance.
Not only this, for years we have
sent the paper free to certain widows
and very few old friends; people we
have known when they were in bet
ter financial condition and able to pa,
for a paper. Now we are refused the
privilege of helping to tighten the
burdens of these people-our old and
tried friends.
There are many other rules laid
down, such as the number of pages
we may print, curtailing our ex-
changes, issuing industrial editions
selling subscriptions at price be-
low published price, etc, which will
not interest our readers, but makes
running newspaper just about what
sherman said of war.
The subscription of country paper
should be at least $500 a year unde,
present conditions, but we are goine
to try to worry through the war al
the old price of $1.5O per year, but il
paper gets much higher will have tc
raise our price.
Most OF our subscribers have al
ways kept their paper paid up, and
we trust those who are in arrears
will respond promptly. Remember
ibis is war measure, not the Advo
Gates.

San Juan, P. r., Sept. 23.-Men ex.
empted from military service after
examination by the local board are
being called for denomination in
San Juan and in many other munich
palities in the islands.
In San Juan those being reexam-
ined include chiefly those called for
the second draft of $4,000 who prob
ably will be called for active SER
vice in September or October. In
other towns it is said boards are gen.
orally going over their lists and call
ing men previously exempted fer re-
examination.
This action by the examining
boards is aid to be voluntary on their
part but comes in response to gener-
al criticism that throughout the is
land men of the better class have not
found it difficult to find grounds on
which to obtain exemption.

The proposition of the grocers tt
cease making deliveries after Septem.
Der 80 has given rise to much discus.
sion, and there is very general OBJ
lection to the movement as it is now
understood. The grocers claim that
the idea is in accordance with the
wishes of the government, and. to q
certain extent, this is true. However
II they are to be the only ones who
profit by the plan they cannot be sur
prised If the people as a whole re-
gard 1t with very little enthusiasm
Many people have cars and can, there
fore, take their groceries home, al
though, even for these, this works
considerable inconvenience. But there
are a very large number of people
VINO do not own cars, and who must
carry their purchases home or pay
some one to do this service for them.
The majority of people would be will
ing to go to considerable inconveni,
ence to get their groceries home, pro-
vided they could effect any saving
thereby, but if they have to go to this
trouble and labor merely to save the
grocer expense and bother, they are
balky. 1t seems that some method of
delivery must be worked out, or
there is going to be much dissatis-
faction which is going to react on
the grocers themselves. In MANY
places, individual deliveries have
been merged into one central system
which looks after deliveries for all
the stores, at very great reduction
in cost to each. For instance, there
are said to be some twenty-five trucks
delivering for the various stores. Bv
consolidating and making only one,
or possibly two, deliveries day the
work would be done with perhaps
one-fifth of the number of trucks and
employees, and less than one-fifth the
expense. 1t has been estimated that

Interesting Meeting
of Farmers Club
On Saturday

The Farmers Club was most roy
ally entertained Saturday by Mr.. and
Mrs. w. X. McRae at their home on
East Orange st.
The attendance was small on DC
count of threatening clouds. At
noon the usual good dinner was
served in the large dining room. The
business session was called to or
der by the president, w. s. Preston
and opened by the singing of Amer
ica."
BY vote Of the club w. s. Pres
ton was appointed to arrange the
program for another year.
This was an Experience Meeting"
and almost every one present gave
some experience of the past year in
the growing of some vegetable or
getting rid Of some pest. 1t has been
found that excellent parsnips and
satisfy can be grown in Florida. Root
crops need rich soil and plenty of
room. Mr.. Meyer of E. Lime st. has
been growing pinto beans and finds
they do we'll here. Mr.. Kelly gave
his experience with different crops.
He has been growing oats successfully
but uses nitrate of soda to help them
along. He raises sunflowers and
Egyptian wheat for his chickens and
finds that sweet potatoes do best on
low ground and for the strawberry
crop he said be sure to start with
! good plants.
The root knot problem was dis
cussed, but no remedy has yet been
found, except to grow things that the
nematodes do not attack. There is
but one way to get rid of nutgrass
and that is to move off and leave It.
/ Judge Preston gave list of things
grown in his garden which included
most all vegetables, Chinese mustard
did we'll Refugee beans bore with all
their might. California pink beans
did well and SO far the bean weavil
has not bothered them. Chinese cab
bage is an excellent vegetable which
! is not very well known. He made
successive planting of sweet corn and
his favorite varieties are KendalPs
Grant and Stowell's Evergreen. He
gathered AZ matured cushaws from
vines which grew among his corn and
also had success with popcorn and
around his garden fence he has a
crop of tropical yams which he has
grown for several years.
He also told of a new kind of grass
called Napier grass which makes
good forage and grows Is feet high.
A rising vote of thanks was kiven
Mr.. and Mrs. McRae for their hospi-
tality and the club adjourned, to
meet In October with Mr. and Mrs
Burright 3 miles beyond Barlow.

ton, Floridian intensely interested
in the development Of the cattle in.
dustry of the State, has addressed the
following letter ITO the Owners O.
Live Stock in Florida:
THE exhibits of live stock, espec.
Tally OF swine, at last years Stats
FAR was creditable and interesting
1t is to be hoped, however, that tn,
exhibit at the forthcoming fair will
be far larger and better.
1T is probable that hogs will be
shown in sufficient numbers and OF
good quality, but if Florida is to make
a satisfactory showing all along the
line, 1t will be necessary for the
breeders and owners of beef and OF
dairy cattle, of sheep and of horses
and mules, to enter more animals in
all these classes, and of a better
grade.
"A considerable number of pure
bred Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn
Hereford, Holstein and Jersey cattle
OF fine quality, are owned in Florida
and II their owners can be. induced
to bring them to the Fair, they will
make a strong impression on the Wis
itors from other States as to the pos-
sibilities and prospects of Florida as
cattle-raising country, and-what is
quite as important-will open the eyes
OF our own people to the splendid op-
portunities of profit which lie about
them, unused for the most part. The
same thing is true with regard to
sheep and mules.
II appeal to the live stock owners
of the State to assist the management
of the Fair in this matter, to The ex-
tent of their ability. The expense
and trouble involved will be as bread
cast upon the waters which will re-
turn to them after many days-or
earlier.

II We are willing to wager thirty

We have no idea of making false

even II we are forced to close our

1t is little tough on man who
has been running newspaper in a
small town for eighteen years.
We know our home subscribers, we
know much about their ups and
downs; when they are able TO pay
and when they are unable to pay.
The real dead-heads we cut oft
early in the game; the subscribers
we have on our list are all good pay.
We have known times wher they
could not conveniently pay for year,
or even two years, but they have al
ways made good and it was a pleas
Ire to extend credit to them.
Now the National War Board has
stepped in and positively says we can
not extend credit to any one. All
subscriptions must be paid in adj
vance.
In short it says: No pay, no paper.
1t is not our ruling. It is the rul-
ing Of the government and we will
obey it just as cheerfully as any one
ever took dose of nasty medicine
The order is concise. It reads:
mo publisher may continue sub
scriptions after the date of expira-
ton, unless subscriptions are renewed
and paid for"
With the present high prices Of ev-
erything that goes to make up a
newspaper, we cannot afford to send
statement after statement for sub
scription. We certainly do not want
to lose subscriber, but we must
comply with the rules of our govern
ment.
