SUPPLY OF SCHOOL
TEACHERS is SCANTY

Faced by prospects of an increas-
ing demand for and diminishing sup
ply of school teachers for 1888,
the employment service of the fed
eral department of labor is sending
to every state superintendent of edu-
cation in the country QUESTIONABLE
seeking accurate information as to
the number of teachers available for
next year and possible sources of
supply for vacancies.
The Chicago branch of the service
has let it be known that the greatest
difficulty thus far has been in obtain
ing instructors for high schools, the
greater part of whose teaching forces
have hitherto been composed of young
men. Numbers of these instructors
have been called to the national army
or have enlisted. The many special
services which the government has
been organizing have also drawn
heavily on this class of teachers, and
on senior college students from among
| who mare usually recruited the an.
nual additions to the school stats.
Educational authorities have view
ed with some concern the growing in
roads on their profession which the
war is making. They have, in many
instances, started organized efforts
to fill the gaps in their ranks and
have emphasized the Importance of
maintaining high standards of in
struction in the public schools In this
connection Mary C. C. Bradford of
Denver, president of the National
Educational Association, has address
ed an appeal to the teachers of the
country, in which she said, in part:
''The school teachers of the United
States are hereby called to the colors
of the American republic. The schools
are the laboratory of good citizenship.
The children are little citizens and
must be guided in such present ex-
periences as will make certain their
future dedication to the welfare of the
republic The junior membership of
the Red Cross, through the school
auxiliary, offers an indispensable
medium through which the patriotic
activities of the children can make
themselves felt. Beginning with Lin
coins birthday and lasting until
Washington's birthday, a nationwide
effort is to be made in behalf of in
creasing the junior membership.
"The National Education Associa-
ton offers every teacher in the land
the high privilege of participation in
this great campaign. The school or
ganization of each state needs your
help in this form of character educa-
ton"

Says the Sumter County Times.
"Now, Mr.. Commissioners, how about
that road from Bushnell to Sumter
vile to connect with Ocala? If Sum-
ter county would only see that a
reasonably passable road was bulls
from Little Withlacoochee' at Rerdell
to Sun1terville, it would connect the
Pasco roads excepting a short dis
lance across the corner of fernando
county, with the hard roads to Ocala
and shorten the usual routes between
Tampa and Ocala by at least 35 miles.
1t would establish the route between
Jacksonville and Tampa as the real

WHEN OUR SHIPS COME IN

The Ocala Star reminds US reluc-
family that the biggest battleships and
passenger liners couldn't get into
which the Star variously estimates
to cost hundred and twenty-six mil
lion dollars.
Why, man, we could take that
amount and make Ocala port of re-
nown! Some one slipped his decimal
too far to the east when he sent out
those figures, and that, as usual,
made the west coast of Florida get the
worst of it.
However, study of geography, "
as the Star has it, reveals the fact
that shipping carried in vessels Of ten
thousand tons or more capacity can
easily get into this port, and we are
delighted with the prospect for the
future.
Tampa, with all other contesting
ports, has lost the naval base, which
now seems to have been a pipe dream
of some fellow who had nothing else
to work his brain on. We are disap-
sure as we can be that there will be
great shipping industry, great
commercial transportation center
here, as we are that Ocala is one of
the finest little inland cities in this
state, or any other.
Tampa is doing something for her
self; and what that is viii be most
patent to the outsider, when results
begin to show.
Tampa is the biggest little city in
the worldl We have the most to do on
an dto do with! We have the most 10y
al citizens; the most productive fac
tories, and the most delightful situa-
ton for home and hotel.
We are convinced of one thing, also
and that is that the man who said
"You cannot lose what you have never
had,' told the truth. Therefore Tampa
has lost nothing save some time ano
few dollars which will be more than
regained before thirty days is gone
Tampa Tribune.
Tampa has nothing to grieve over
1t is the best town on the gulf coast
of America. As for its harbor, it has
plenty of water for the gulf trade
most of which is carried in ships OF
less than six or seven thousand tons
And if the gulf became scene Oh
naval war, it would have the best
harbor of refuge and reftting fol
anything but battleships and big
cruisers. Sure, Tampa is all right
Nobody breaches that doctrine any
more persistentlY than the Star.

The sinking of the Tuscania shows
that American troops are being sent
to France by British ports. It was
announced few days ago that this
would be done, the French ports that
the Americans have been using hav-
ing become congested with the con-
slant arrival of men and supplies.
The Tuscania and her convoy were off
the north coast of Ireland when the
ship was torpedoed, and were evil
IDENTIFY making for Liverpool thru the
North Channel and the Irish Sea. The
ship, of course, had plenty of boats,
and not only her convoy but patrol
boats and vessels from the life saving
stations near rushed to the rescue.

Proof of the order which prevailed
on the Tuscania is given by the land
ing of two typhoid and two pneumon-
la cases without bad effect. Forty of
the survivors were taken to hospitals.
In the majority of cases they are
suffering from injuries as result of
accidents in the lowering of lifeboats
or in consequence of sliding down
ropes. The survivors are proud of
the behavior of the only two women
on the Tuscania. They went down a
rope in fine style, laughing.

About the best thing to do in re-
gard to Russia is for Americans to
get out of that country and leave it
to its fate. A long period of anarchy
is the best to be expected for it. This
is not the fault so much of the peo-
pie of today as of the long centuries
of despotism they have been subjected
to. They do not know any better and
will not be grateful to those who try
to teach them.

Hjalmar Branting, the socialist
leader of Sweden, says the actions of
the Bolsheviki are difficult to explain,
the methods being the same as those
of the tsar and their opposition to
Finland after having agreed to her
independence being illogical. He sees
no definite political program in the
German strikes and praised President
Wilson's message as the most impor-
tant statement since the war began.

Captain Won Rintelen and ten of his
co-conspirators, in an attempt to fire
a British ship with bombs, were found
guilty and given the maximum SEN

is something badly the matter with
our laws when men who deliberately
plotted murder are let off with such
light punishment.

MRS. W.H.COBB GOES
TO ETERNAL HOME
ONE OF DAWSONS MOST USE
Full AND HIGHLY ESTEEM
ED WOMEN PASSES AWAY.

The death of Mrs. w. H. Cobb oc-
CURED at her residence on Orange
street Saturday afternoon. A fall
several weeks ago, which resulted in
the breaking of her hip bone, was
the beginning of Mrs. Cobb's illness.
When she had partially recovered
from the shock of this accident she
contracted influenza, which developed
into pneumonia. Members of her
family were constantly at her bedside
for several days fearing the worst.
Mrs. Cobb was a native of Sumter
county, being a member of the we'll
known Pickett family. For years be-
fore her marriage she was a success
full teacher, and since her residence
in Dawson conducted a private
school at different times. She had no
children of her own, but with unset
FISH devotion she put much of herself
into the rearing of several adopted
into the home. She was one of the
most valued members of the Baptist
church, giving of her time and means
to advancing every good work. She
was particularly interested in mis-
sionary enterprises, and was a mem
Der of the executive board of her So
ciety. Keenly alive to all patriotic
she rendered valuable aid
in Red Cross work and other war
measures.
In the presence Of large gather
ing of those who had marked her
years of splendid service to God and
humanity the funeral service was
conducted at the home by her pas
tor Rev. T. M. Galloway, Sunday af-
cernoon at 4 O'clock.
The deceased is survived by three
brothers, Mr.. Sam Pickett of Daw-
son. Messrs. T. B. and R. R. Pickett
Of Ty Ty, and a number of nieces and

for the purchase of about 100000

also is after the raw material. And

cotton would today be commanding
the highest price of a generation,

rightfully deserves, based on the cost
