TARPON SPRINGS CAN EASILY
MAKE MONEY ON THE EXHIBIT
Awarded First Prize at State Fair for Community
Exhibit and First Prize for Sponge Exhibit; Mr.
Zimmerman Returns With Glowing
Tales of Success

If The Leader just had time to tell
you all the good things that Fred Zim-
mermann told us this morning about
the great success of our Community
Exhibit at the Florida State Fair in
Jacksonville last week you would ma
turall say: "Why not 60 to a little
trouble and make the exhibit bring in
money to our Board of Trade, or at
least pay for themselves in cash as
well as in future patronage of tour
lists and visitors"
According to Mr.. Zimmerman the
exhibit we sent to Jacksonville was
gathered very hurriedly in one day
and consisted mainly of sponge yet it
was awarded fifth prize, ribbon, hon
orable mention and diploma. Had it
consisted of few other county pro-
ducts it would have easily have taken
first prize which was $1O0 cash.

Eight-Hour Day

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Good wages gem

Arthur E. Holder, member of the
federal reserve board for vocational
education The higher the wage the
better would be the health of the en-
ploye and the greater his output, he
told the American Public Health asso-
citation yesterday in an address in
which he advocated an eight-hour day
and increased wages.
Mr.. Holder proposed that the fed
eral health agencies be concentrated
into one department with secretary
at its head and THAT the secretary
should be member of the presidents

Tobacco Growers
Make Big Profit

Louisville, KY, Dec. 10.-Kentucky
farmers, who produce about thirty per
cent of the country's tobacco, have ex-
perienced unprecedented prosperity
since 1915 and this autumn were able
to get nearly three times the price
with which they would have been con-
tent at the beginning of the. war.
Eighty per cent of the 250,000,000
pounds of hurley tobacco used in the
United States comes from Kentucky.
In 1914 prices for all qualities of leaf,
lugs and trash averaged between ten
and twelve cents pound, while the
price for the heavy, dark export type
of tobacco grown in the "black patch"
of western Kentucky climbed from six
to sixteen cents.
When the war began tobacco pro-
duction in European countries was
virtually halted and there was tre-
mendous drain on the big stocks of
American tobacco in European ware
houses. 1t was the demand made up
on these reserve stocks that sent
prices upward, rather than the over
seas shipments which were in reality
smaller than those in times of peace,
dealers say. AS the big reserve sup
plies decreased, American exporters
began buying in the American market
to replace the stocks when peace
would bring adequate transportation
facilities.
The amount now held for export,
however, is not sufficient, in the opin-
ion of the big dealers, to replenish the
foreign stocks. They say that this
condition, coupled with the desire of
domestic manufacturers to increase
their stocks, will make competition
keen for year.

"Only by long years of repentance
can Germany atone for her crimes and
show her sincerity. No true American

less forced to do so by strictly official

Washington, Dec. 10.-War time in
crease of the naval personnel from
$4,000 to nearly 100000 to man 1900

Admiral Palmer says, has complete
compliments of officers and men with
excess personnel to provide for train

vided armed guard and radio crews
for merchant vessels in transatlantic
service.
The great task now, in the opinion
of Admiral Palmer, who recently was

ing regular courses in the training of
officers.
Notwithstanding the enormous ex-
pansion of the personnel" the report
says, "the various units of the navy
have reached higher state of battle
efficiency than ever before"
Enlistment statistics show that ev-
cry state in the Union contributed to
the growth Of the navy, such states as
Montana and Nevada each sending
more than 1900 men. There were g.

RANG OUT ALARM OF FIRE
A. Late as Civil War Days New York
Employed Bells to Warn Citizens
Of Danger.

Not longer ago than Civil war days
fire alarms were rung in the city on
great bells hung In towers erected for
the purpose about the town. The bells
indicated the district In which the fire
was and sometimes a good deal of
ground was covered in looking for
fire. The First district, for instance,
In Civil war days extended from Twen-
ty-second street north to Yorkville and
from the East river to the North.
The bell ringers were constantly on
duty In the towers watching for signs
Of fire. An inventory of the contents
Of the old Marion street bell tower In
1865 shows the equipment then In use.
1t Is as follows: zone bell, weight H.
600 pounds; one striking apparatus,
one stove, table, clock, one spyglass,
one field glass, one slate and book"
The fire bells Of the old city could
be heard all over the town unless
gale Of wind was blowing. The largest
bell was In the City hall tower. Its
weight was $1,000 pounds.-New York

friend in America:
In a walk through the Strand and
Fleet Street one morning at o'clock

shop open, although It had been day
light and the sun up about three
hours: the inhabitants of London
choosing voluntarily to live by candle
light and sleep by sunshine; and yet
often complaining a little absurdly
OF the duty on candles and the high
price Of tallow."
