DROP FAGS TO YANKS
Cigarettes Showered on Them
From the Skies.
Knights of Columbus Bring Joy to
Boys While Battle Is in
Progress.

New York.-Showers of cigarettes
fell from the skies on the American
fighters driving the Germans out of
the st. Mihiel salient. This fact was
announced in a cablegram received by
William J. Mulligan, chairman of the
Knights of Columbus committee on
war activities, at the United War
American airplanes 10000 packages Of
cigarettes were dropped into the hands
of infantrymen and artillerymen press
ing forward in their victorious squeeze
which dislodged the enemy from the
stronghold they had held for more than
three years. Each package was
stamped Compliments of the Knights
of Columbus"
At the same time, cable dispatches
announce, Y. M. c. A. workers on foot
moved among the soldiers, handing out
chocolates and cigarettes. q
The airplane service for distributing
cigarettes to the soldiers, while the
! battle was in progress and the ordi-
nary foot or motor methods of reach
ing the men in the front lines were
unavailable, was established by Mar
tin V. Merle of San Francisco, a K.
of c. secretary, with the cooperation
of an American airplane unit. After
the fight, soldiers related how pleas
antly surprised they had been when
cigarettes dropped from on high. They
! declared no service in their behalf ever
had pleased them as much as this ul-
ira modern delivery of Smokes"
The Y. NJ. c. A. workers won new
friends at st. Mihiel. One Red Tri-
angle man, with huge pack on his
back, moved forward with a certain
unit, distributing chocolates and ciga-
rettes to each soldier. Salvation Army
workers also were busy with their
doughnuts and coffee throughout the
st. Mihiel drive.

SETTING OUR FRIENDS Alright.

The Tarpon Springs Leader re
marks: During the recent influenza
epidemic Clearwater was so filled with
patients that they established an
emergency hospital which kept three
nurses busy day and night, and they
are exceedingly proud of the fact that
they did not lose single case"
This reads more like an advertise
ment for the efficiency of our physi-
clans, but between the lines the i'm
preston is left that Clearwater was
in a dreadful plight on account of the
epidemic. Clearwater had an emer-
gency hospital and it was filled to it's
capacity for one or two days, but
there were only three Clearwater pa
tients in the hospital at any one time.
Liberal minded, Clearwater took in
patients from neighboring towns and
the country-cases where the whole
family was sick and no one to nurse
the members thereof, or cases where
it was absolutely necessary to have a
nurse, and nurses were impossible to
secure. At no time dcring the cpl
demic did Clearwater have any more
cases than it has of grippe each sea-
son-but the health board has kept
strict precautionary regulations in eff
feet for nearly month to check the

FELT FOR SHOES UNDER BAN
Manufacturer of Heel Pads and Inner
SoIes Stopped by War Industries
Board.

Washington.-Box-toed shoes, felt
heel pads and felt inner soles are
doomed for the period of the war. The
war industries board announced that
the manufacture of felt used for these
articles must be discontinued as soon
as present supplies of raw material
are exhausted and at once if its manu-
facture interferes with the fulfillment
of government orders. The board also
called for report of the stocks on
hand of wool felts and jackets used
in the manufacture of paper. Sugges-
tons were made to bring about the
greatest service of those now in use
and to prevent destruction and waste.

IMITATION EGGS EXEMPT HIM
English Tradesnan DiscIoses His Eco.
nomic Value to the Gov
ernnent.

London.-The military call has dis
closed number of curious trades. One
of the strangest came from the Rye
gate tribunal. The applicant described
himself as a manufacturer of imita-
ton eggs and produced sar' pies of his
work.
Holding between his fingers a splen-
did facsimile of pheasant egg, he ex-
planned that when a pheasant is set
ting her eggs are put under a good
barnyard hen. The imitation eggs are
put under the pheasant until Matching
time is nearly due, then the eggs are
transferred and the pheasant matches
her own eggs. In this manner eggs
are saved from enemies. The tribu-
nal gave the applicant six months ex-
emption.

Among the finest of the golf courses

Among the finest of the golf courses
of Florida is that at Tarpon Springs,
but which is now in danger of being
abandoned because Of the death of
ex-senator Hawkins and two other
wealthy men of the north who have
been bearing the expense of keeping
up the grounds. The hope is that
the people of Tarpon Springs will ar
range to keep the grounds and club
house in order, Golf is popular with
thousands who come to Florida in
winter time, and abandonment of the
grounds would be serious loss to our
neighbor.- Clearwater Sun.

OBITUARY.

1HOIudS DSIlHSGL SlUSOH, VINO was
born in Columbus, Ga, on July 25,
1898, lived most of his life at Apa-
lachicola, Fla. After completing his
high school course he spent couple
of years at the Georgia School of
Technology, Atlanta, Ga, from whence
he came to Tarpon Springs in 1912 to
accept position in the high school as
teacher of mathematics, having also
the entire work of the eighth grade.
He was affiliated with the Presby-
terian church, where he attended for
worship, and welded a strong infu-
ence for good over the young people
with whom he daily came in close as
sociation.
In July of this year he accepted a
position as head bookkeeper in the
Sponge Exchange bank and was deep
ly interested in his new vocation. He
was also an active factor in the Tar.
pom Springs Bottling Works, in which
he had a personal interest.
Mr.. Gibson was within the draft age
and had made several efforts to get
into the service Of his country, but
had failed on account of his imperfect
eyesight. This was to him a great
cross lest he should be counted a
Stacker, but just prior to his death
two of his friends, prominent men of
the state, were using their influence to
get him into some branch of the serv-
ice which he had hoped to enter at an
early date. Perhaps it was at this
point that his over-anXiety and zeal
led him into danger. On October II
he attended the State University at
Gainesville to be examined in war
work, and it is surmised that there he
contracted the influenza which later
developed into pneumonia, so that two
weeks from the above date he passed
into the higher service, meriting the
reward of one who had done his part
in the worlds great war for his coun-
try and humanity.
He owned a beautiful little bunga-
low on Grand Boulevard, where he
made a brave fight during the last
days to overcome the grim reaper, but
passed into rest at 8:45 p. M, Octo-
Der 25.
Everything had been done for his
comfort that the love of his mother,
who had come to his aid, and the f.
deity Of his sister could suggest, with
the help of those who loved him, but
all was in vain.
He was model son and brother
and his family came first in his life.
His love of home and home surround
ings was beautiful trait of charac-
ter which he possessed. 1t has been
said of him that he was friendly with
all but intimate with few, and the joys
and sorrows of his close friends were
his own. These knew tie depths and
sympathy of his real nature. Those
who knew him best loved him most.
He disliked all formality where his
friends were concerned, preferring to
appear unnannounced and as one of
the family. The passing away of our
young friend has caused deep sorrow
among us, but his memory will always
live in our hearts.
Thus we assure his family of the
great heart throb that controls this
community with them in sorrow and
hope.
"Sleep well, dear lad, knight of the
purpose true.
Sleep we'll thy stately sleep amid the
bloom!
Love holds thee dear; Faith halls

Proud Honor weaves rich chaplets for

 .uous and may eventually break down enemy resistance.
 There are no indications that Mar shal Foch will continue his pressure northwest of the Soissons, but his first success there may be exploited. It would not be surprising to see the fighting spread between the Aisne and the Disc, for an allied victory in that region would break the hinges of both the Aisne and Somme lines and com pei a German retirement on both sides of the new battle area. From Soissons to Rheims the allies have been doing little since the Americans regained their positions at Fismette.
 In the Flanders sector there have been no engagements of a significan. character.
 The fighting in Russia has begun to assume proportions which will attract considerable attention. The front is not continuous but it may be said to be in the form of a crescent. extending from Batum, on the Caspian sea, nOrthward along the western foothills of the Urals and east of the Volga river and then swinging more to the northwest until it reaches Omega bay an arm of the Arctic ocean.
