FLORIDA POLITICS
EXPECTED TO BOIL

Florida politics which have been
sirnmcTing for some time are expect 81
to boil over in the meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee at
Jacksonville today.
Until the last meeting Of the CON,
nittee the meetings were viewed al
most as necessary formalities precee-
ing an election, assessment OF fees.
and arrangement of Details. But that
was before the Sturkie resolutions
doomed on the horizon and formed
such a conspicuous part in the guber-
Material campaign of 1916.
The resolutions were rescinded, but
not before they presented an issue in
the campaign which resulted in .
court fight over the Democratic nonf-
ration, and the eventual defeat II
Knott, the Democratic nominee.
The resolutions, and their subject
matter, will probably not be revived,
hut it has already been stated that
an effort would he made to prevent
those who voted for Cats IN the gen.
eral election, from taking part in the
Democratic primary this year.
In supper. of this argument the
Democrats state that every voter who
anticipates in the primary agrees -
abide by the results OF the primary
and support the Democratic candi-
dates in the general election and that
/ by failing to do this. the Cats sup
porters in the general election are no
| longer eligible to take part in the pri-
mary
Whether or not there. is a sufficient
lumber OF administration members If
the committee to defeat this plan is
enc of the interesting features of the
meeting today.

Washington. June lo-Attack by
Turkish troops OF the American con-
sulate at Tabriz, Persia, and the
footing of an American missionary
hospital in that city reported to the
state department today, was believed
in some quarters to presagc the long
anticipated declaration OF the exis
tence OF state OF war between the
United States and the Ottoman EN-
pire. Diplomatic relations between
the two governments have been sus-
pended since April 20, 1917, and since
that time the relations between the
two governments have been short of
actual formal enmity.
President Wilson and the state de-
partment had not regarded a declara-
ton of state OF war between the
United States and Turkey and Bull
garia as necessary or desirable, since
there has been no actual collision be-
tween American and Turkish or Bull.

Officials were inclined to believe
the sacking of the American hospital,

Cleared $s.75 HUNDRED on Hogs

/ Hogs will return a profit at presen,
prices Of feed and pork if they are
ted the proper ration. This fact has
been demonstrated by feeding test
conducted by Luther Dawson, a
Johnson County farmer. Mr.. Daw-
son fed seven pigs from January IS,
1915, to April 3, and made profit
OF $5.75 hundred on them. The
pigs were narrowed August 26, 1917.
During the feeding test, which was
conducted under dry lot conditions,
the pigs consumed 62.2 bushels OF
Nc. : corn, 100 pounds of tankage,
$50 pounds of shorts, and 154 gallons
OF skim milk The total cost OF feed
for II days was $I2s.45. The corn
Was charged at $3.50 a bushel and
tankage at $loo ton, shorts at $2.5o
Z hundred, and skim milk at 10 cents
per gallon. At the beginning OF the
experiment the seven pigs weighed
SIG pounds, and at the close, 1850.
They made an average daily gain of
Ill pounds. They received an aver

visited Mr.. Dawson's
farm at the close of the experiment
and weighed the animals. Mr.. Daw-
son furnished them the foregoing
data. He did not weigh the corn, but
says that the estimate of 62.2 bushels
was high.
Attention is called to the fact that
Mr.. Dawson fed the pigs in dry lot.
If he had forage his profits would
have been even greater, because feed

>eatedly that greater profits can be
made when the ration is supplement- |
