splendid record.
Mr.. Wallis received his appointment

Clearwater Red
Cross Receives
Generous Gift
Clearwater Sum-

The executive board of Clearwater
chapter are most happy to announce
the gift yesterday of check for three
thousand dollars to the chapter from
the guests Of the Belleview hotel.
Some time ago, when the ladies of the
hotel organized their auxiliary, the
men requested to be allowed to help.
They started a drive for funds. It's
success exceeded their expectations.
Realizing something of the struggles
for funds with which to carry on the
work during the summer months, they
very generously gave the Clearwater
chapter this amount from the fund
subscribed, the balance of which is
destined for the Red Cross national
fund, at Washington.
The local members are all willing
and eager to work, and last year they
found it rather discouraging to go to
the work rooms and find no materials
with which to work. And it was
equally discouraging in the hot sum-
mer days to have to spend their best
energies to raise money to buy mate
rails so that they might work.
Now, owing to the generosity of
these gentlemen and a lady who wish
es to remain unknown, who gave a
check for one thousand dollars some
time ago, the local chapter will be
able to give time and energy to the
actual work of the Red Cross this
summer. The officers of the chapter
are confident that Clearwater chapter
will turn out even more and better
work than ever. The local chapter now
has an enviable reputation for the
quality and quantity of work turned
out, and it will show it's appreciation
of the generosity of the donors of
these gifts by improving in both.

Notice
for Teachers In
Public Schools

The state board of examiners for
public, school teachers, will be in
Clearwater May 7, and as there is on
ly one examination a year in the coun-
ty and it is not likely that the board
will return to Pinellas county before
late in 1919, the county school board
has authorized teachers of the county
who desire to take this examination
to dismiss their rooms for that day
and perhaps for the succeeding day,
if necessary.
Under the old law two examinations
were, held each year in each county,
under the direction of the county SUI
perintendent, but under the present
law, there is a state board of exam
iners who hold examinations in diff
ferent parts of the state and certif-
Gates issued by this board are of state
wide validity.
There will not be a great number of
teachers in the county who are now
teaching, who will take this examina-
ton, as a great number of them hold
certificates valid for number of
years yet, and great number of them
have been awarded certificates based
on their college and normal school di-
plomas, after three years of success
full teaching.

FISHING AT
TARPON SP'GS

Do fish bite in the vicinity of Tarpon
Springs? Say, you ought to have
been with the Rev. Fourier and Judge
H. S. Dorsey of Alton, ILL.,, on the gulf
this week The Rev. Fourier, the first
day out, after landing his seventh fine
grouper, began to feed the fish, and
played gentleman about the deck for
the balance of the day. The second
day out he was in "fine fettle," and he
and the judge began to land heavy
fish. The judge, however, scored one
over the reverend gentleman by land
ing a 30-pound grouper, a 10-pound
king fish, and 12-pound Spanish
mackerel.
The three days fishing netted about
800 pounds of the fnny tribe. The
majority of the catch were heavy
grouRer. The judge is tickled to death
over that three days experience on
the gulf, and The Leader has it on
good authority that he had one strike
that turned nus hair gray and made
him pale, and his funny bone turn
sad. That fish, or whatever it was,
cut through the water, like a bird
through the air, then went to the bot
tom swift as lightning burning the
epidermis off his fingers and making
him blink and shut his teeth together
like an ancient hero. Well sir, that
fish, or whatever it was, side-stepped
and walloped the judges bait until it
looked like chowder, then spit it out
and headed for the Caribbean sea,
leaving the judge in a brown study
as to what it might be. If it had been
in the Mediterranean no doubt he
would think it was one of those great
fish that swallowed live things whole.
After this experience they had no
more strikes, so they pulled anchor
and set sail for home. We have not
called in the Rev. Fourier to. question
him about the above story, but we
got it from such reliable source that
we do not doubt word of it.
