MR. b. c. MAYO GIVES SOME REA
SONS FOR BELIEVING THIS

A letter from Mr.. B. C. Mayo said
that he is pleased to learn, through
the Leader, that Tarpon Springs is
such busy place.
81 believe that you are right in
prognosticating a large number Of
visitors during the coming winter, as
it is now almost impossible for the or
binary household to secure servants,
and the cold situation does not seem
to be much better than last year. 1t
is our intention to start for Florida as
early in the season as possibele, and
am hoping that conditions will allow
us to get away by middle of October.
Shall be very glad to get back among
you all" said Mr.. Mayo.
And we will be very glad to see the
Mayos here for long stay. He is a
successful business man, good sports
man and spender and an asset to any
community. When he opens up his

GREEK AMERICAN BOYS
ARE GENUINE PATRIOTS!
Work of Two Greek Leaders in New York; Camp
in mountains" of Van Cortland Park

Greece and America have just sign
ed CONSUMPTION treaty. By it and
by the new draft it is estimated that
to the 10000 Greeks who now wear
American uniforms there will be add
ed a good 100000 more. A few hun
dred Greeks, at Thermopylae, were
enough for Xerxes. 100000 would
have chased him clear to China. And
manifestly, in the matter of the mod
ern Nerxes still at large in Europe,
100000 Greeks, properly instructed
and inspired, should be able alone and
hands down, to make an end of him.
Till recently, however, there was a
difficulty. There was no one to fur
nish that proper instruction and in
spiration. But it is being furnished
now, from New York, by Troop No.

Mr.. w. F. Chidester has arrived
safely in France. He writes home that
he is camping in the barn of a rich
Frenchman and that he has, since GO
ing into the service, slept in ham
rnocks and on the ground, gone with
out food for "a hours at time, and
that if we think we are having it hard
here, we should be with the army.
When we hear these things we
should resolve to give to the limit in
the coming liberty loan drive.
Mr.. Chidester's case, however, is
doubtless exceptional, as the general
tone of the letters received from our
boys in France indicates that they
are exceptionally well cared for in the
matter of food and clothing, and are
well treated by the French civil popu-
lation. The men suffer some hard
ships, of course, but such hardships
as lack of food and proper sleeping
quarters are by no means general.
