Toward the remoter and more
serious general disturbances alleged
to be due to teething, we are assum-
ing an even more skeptical and
"Missourian" attitude. In fact some
radicals go so far as to declare
that the only genuine teething trou-
bles are those which occur within
an inch of the top of the rising
tooth This is probably going too
far but, there can be little question
that very many, If not most, of the
Pandora's box of evils so easily and
confidently attributed 10 erupting
teeth, as if the little ivory pegs were
genuine dragons teeth like those Of
Cadmus, are clearly traceable TO
three groups OF causes whose only
they happen TO operate in the same
months and years of life.
First, and probably most frequent,
is the fact that the appearance of
the teeth is natures sign and index
that the child is reaching an age
when he needs and demands solid
foods in addition TO the liquid
meat" which has been his exclusive
diet so far. This. of course, opens
wide the flood gates TO a perfect tor
rent of possible mishaps, the in
judicious kindness of his doting rel
atives, who insist upon treating him
20 a taste Of their favorite indiges-
tible, the mistakes of his ineXper-
fenced parents, the carelessness of
his nurses and. last but not least, his
own firm and unquenchable cOnvic-
ton that the whole wide world was
made to eat and his corresponding
determination to thrust every bit OF
il that he can get his pink paws on
into his mouth. Whenever the in
FAINT Colum bus, sailing an uncharted
food Atlantic, registers collie, a fin
ger is hastily thrust into his mouth,
a recent or approaching ivory peg

the real cause and trying TO avoid

The third Tarpon Springs surgical
dressings class has finished its full
course in standard and special dress
ings, and on Friday took its written,
oral and test examinations, all passing
with very high averages, under the eff
ficient instruction of Mrs. J. B. Cow
sert, a graduate of one Of Mrs. Chap
mans classes. This they accomplish
ed in two weeks, regardless of the
fact that they had to learn all the
measurements, to cut, make use of,
how to arrange, tie up and pack %
different pieces, besides their written
lessons on hygiene, sanitation, infec-
ton, etc.
To keep up our chapters. "lucky
number" thirteen took the examina-
ton, the others having previously
dropped out, either on account of sick
ness in the home, or conflicting bust
ness hours.
Mrs. Cowsert wishes publicly to
thank Mrs. L. S. Fernald, director Of
women's work, and all members OF
classes one and two who at various
times so ably assisted in conducting
this class and especially the director
of surgical dressings, Mrs. L. d. Vim
son, for having so efficiently and I'M
tiringly given all of her time.

graduated are: Mrs. H. E. Slauson,

That the section of Pinellas county
at the mouth of the Anclote river is
destined to become a great port has
been said many times And if the
different interests in this section can
be brought to work in harmony there
is no doubt that great things will be
accomplished in this section.
If some important industry or ship
building plant is once located at the
mouth Of the Anclote river, likely the
history of Tampa and Port Tampa
will be repeated.
No doubt our readers are all fafnil-
lar with the facts that Tampa was not
much of port and was only accessi-
BILE to light draft vessels through the,
navigation of long and tortuous
channel before Port Tampa was made
a big shipping port by the extension
of the Plant System railroad to that
point and the building of great docks
|out in deep water. Port Tampa was
the port of entry and the city which
was built up there was a thriving,
growing place with every promise of
outstripping the older city of Tampa
at no distant date.
What happened then?
Tampa interests got together and
secured government appropriations
for Strengthening and deepening the
entrance to her harbor, and today
Tampa is the most important port on
the Florida coast.
Get things started at the mouth of
the Anclote river and the few remain
ing miles between the mouth of the
river and Ta1pon Springs will soon
be deepened and Tarpon Springs will
be the port of entry for the entire sec
ton of Florida from Cedar Keys to
st. Petersburg, serving vast terri
tory extending at least half way
across the state.

days Clearwater Sun:

LARGE PART OF 1917 LUMBER
OUTPUT USED FOR WAR WORK

The department of agriculture au-
thorizes the following:
A total computed lumber cut for the
United States in 1917 of 35,83i $780,
900 feet is announced by Tie forest
service. This figure is based on re-
ports received up to May Is from 49,
408 sawmills out of the 24,815 believ-
ed to have operated last year. 1t is
estimated that the actual cut in 1917,
on the basis of compiled figures, was
approximately 10 per cent less than
the production in 1916.
The falling off in lumber production
during the past year is attributed
principally to largely decreased pri-
vate building operations, the scarcity
of labor in connection with small OPP
CREATIONS, transportation difficulties,
curtailment Of demand on the part Of
wood-using industries, and a more or
less general dislocation of lumber dis
tribution through ordinary channels of
trade. A considerable portion of the
total quantity produced was utilized
in meeting the exceptional demands
for government construction and 9TH
er war-emergency projects, including
ship material.
The state of Washington was again
the largest producer, with a total cut
Of 4,570, 900 900 feet; Louisiana was
second, with 4,210,0O0, 900; and Ore
gon third, with 2,B65, 000, 900, crowd
ing into the fourth position Mississip-
pi, with . cut Of 2,425, 600, 900 feet.
Southern yellow pine, with total
Of 1855, 900 feet, forms ST. per
cent Of the total cut Douglas fir, its
nearest competitor, is credited with s.
506, 900 feet. White oak and white
pine are each credited with $3.50 ,000,-
600 feet.
The number Of mills in operation
reporting in 1917 was smaller than
, for the two preceding years.

PINELLAS COUNTY WILL CELE-
BRATE.

With the other patriotic activities
which are taking up so much of the
time and attention of the women Of
Clearwater, it is especially commend
able that they should also undertake
to have the Fourth Of July observed
in Pinellas county with appropriate
exercises.

the one when its, Observance is moss

It is o. happy coincidence that thss

completed by that date and that thR

shows that it has very few harbors
considering the long coast line. There
are, however, some harbors along the
coast which, at small expense could be
developed into seapcrts of Importance.
In the early history of the state st.
Marks became a place of some import
ance and for that reason railroad,
the first built in this state, was con-
structed from Tallahassee to ST..
Marks, a distance of 20 or 25 miles.
Locomotives were hard to obtain in
those days, and the cars were drawn
by mules. st. Marks prospered for a
while, but it was far away from the
markets and had only poor facilities
for reaching them. In few years it
went into decline and is now but little
more than spot on the map. Two
siyers unite there and flow into The
gulf only a few miles away. 1t has all
the possibilities of being made into a
great port.
A grander opportunity for the de-
velopment of an important port on
the west coast is here at our door.
Strangely enough the bright minds of
our Tarpon Springs seem not to have
taken in the wonderful possibilities in
connection with the town of Anclote,
only few miles or so away, as deep
water port. Already vessels drawing
ten or twelve feet of water may come
in at low tide, and the iand-locked
harbor is large enough to accommo-
date thousand or more ships.
Some day the right man will see
this opportunity of building up a
great port on the west coast, and the
hamlet of Anclote will grow into a
large city. The trouble with Anclote
in the past has been that those ac-
quainted with its location have seen
lions in the street and have not under
taken it's development.
