SOME TICK!

John P. Smith, who came hero four
years ago from Webb City, Mo, while
cleaning up a lot in the Bessev addi-
ton for H. G.. King, just across the
corner from G.. E. Christensen and on
the same side of the street as R. @.
Stuart, made a discovery that savors
of a possible mystery of earlier times,
when he dug up five silver watches OH
a 50x100-foot plot of ground on the
LETT bank of the South Fork of the
st. Lucie river.
Two of the watches were solid sill
yer, old-fashioned, open-face English
bull's-eye, one made in London by B.
Roberts, and the other in Belfast by
Edward Gribben. One had crystal,
and in the other the crystal was gone,
and the works of both were ccrroded,
hut the jeweling was still of value.
OF the others, one case was without
works, and in another he had the
works and the case without the big
outside separate enveloping case. And
now comes the strangest part of all !,
The other watch, when Mr.. Smith
picked it up, cleaned off the caked
dirt and blew away the white St.
Lucie sand, was running. Now, we
don't believe that probably started
running just because Mr.. Smith
picked it up and shook it, 1t had a
wonderfully loud and clear tick

Army hours are strictly observed.
Reveille is sounded by the buglers at
an hour that brings mufIled protests
from the few civilian passengers on
board, the blasts penetrating to ev-
cry corner of the ship. Some time
later, after the civilians have rolled
over in their berths and are about to
fall asleep again, there is mighty
tramping on decks and in the corri-
doris as the hungry soldiers pour up
from their quarters below, eager for
breakfast.
Impatiently they await the sum-
mons, which is beaten on an instru-
ment that sounds to the unfortunate
civilian like a shee of boiler plate, and
when it comes they are off with a
rush for the huge first-cabin dining
room. And it is not until they have
satisfied their HUSKY appetities that
the officers and civilians are called to
their breakfast in the smaller dining
room. which before the liner became
a transport was reserved for second
cabin passengers.

WAR ECONOMY
 PROBALY FOR
 TIE JAPANESE

TOXIC, June 27 -(CoTespondence of The Associated Press) - Warning that adverse economic conditions may develop in Japan as result of the war was given by the Japanese Premier, Count Trauchi, in an address delivered recently before the annual meeting of the clearing house banks. Responsib- ility of averting q disaster, he said, rested upon the bankers of Japan.
 The Premier remarked that the ne- cessity of industrial independence had been vividly brought home to Japan in consequence of the war and it was be- cause of this that the government had introduced into the last session of the Diet projects tending towards the ach- ievement of this independence.
 MT. Shoda, Finance Minister, who followed Count Terauchi, said that the governemnt compiling the estimates for the current fiscal year plan the ut most attention to the perfection of the national defense. A project was map ped out for the building of two battle cruisers, three cruisers, and seventy five other warships of all sorts at total cost equivalent to $150,250,000 disbursement of which was to be spread over six years. This together with the expenditure of $141, 100000 which had already fixed, would bring the total naval expenditure to be defEayed dur ing the next six years to about $292,- 0OO,OOO.
