GREAT PARAMOUNT
PRODUCTION Will
BE AT THE ROYAL

In her newest Paramount picture,
MADAME Jealousy" Pauline Freder-
ick has occasion to use a huge horned
owl for atmosphere" 1t is well
known fact that the star has no use
for peacocks and it was thought that
her dislike might extend to owls. Not
so, however, for she alone of all the
cast, seemed to have a calming effect
on the great bird. He ruffied his
feathers haughtily when others APP
preached, and made queer sounds Of
disapproval, but when Miss Frederick
talked to him or sang softly, he shut
his eyes and went peaceably to sleep.
Madame Jealousy" is to be shown at
the Royal theatre next Thursday
night.
The proceeds from this picture will
go to the benefit of St. Margaret's
guild. The ladies are selling tickets
for only 20 cents.
This is your opportunity to see a
magnificent photo play which has Gre
ated sensation wherever shown, and
to extend a helping hand to the ladies

Famous Disston Case Comes Up For
Argument in Supreme Court, Mich. II
Involves Contract Made IS Years Ago Between Governor
Bloxam and Hamilton DISQUALIFICATION With Trustees
of Internal Improvement Fund-Prominent Attorneys
Argue on Both Subsidiary are Parties to the Suit

The supreme court has set down for
oral argument on Wednesday, the
9th, the case of Henry Disston and
others, as executors and trustees sof
the estate of the late Hamilton Diss-
ton, appellants, VS.. the trustees of the
Internal Improvement fund of Florida
and others, appellees.
This case involves the claim of the
Disston estate and numerous claim
ants under Hamilton Disston for large
tracts of swamp lands in Florida al
legged to be due under the celebrated
contract which Governor Bloxham
made with Mr.. Disston some thirty
five years ago. Most of the lands
claimed, have, in subsequent years,
been conveyed by the trustee to other
purchasers, all of whom are made par
ties to the present suit.
An interesting feature of the case in
the supreme court is that two of the
justices of the court, Judge Ellis and
Judge, West are disqualified and can
not sit or hear oral argument or other
wise participate in the decision of the
case. In recent years Judge Ellis and
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-03-19

Judge West have served the state as
attorney general and were ex-officio
trustees of the Internal Improvement
fund. Hence their disqualification.
Under these circumstances, in .pur-
suance of the constitutional amend
ment, the court called in Circuit
Judges A. G. Campbell, of the first cir
cult, and H.. Pierre Branning of the
eleventh circuit, to sit in the place
of Judge Ellis and Judge West.
Another interesting feature is that
the oral argument on behalf of the
appellants will be made by Judge
Thomas NJ. Shackleford, of Tampa,
who was until a few months ago,
justice of the supreme court.
The other attorneys representing
the appellants are Messrs. Arthur F.
Odlin, of Arcadia, and M. B. K. Pet
tingill of Tampa. The numerous ap-
pellees will be represented by Hon.
Glenn Terrell, Attorney General Van
c. Swearingen, Mr.. w. W. Dewhurst
of St. Augustine, Mr.. E. ]. L'Engle
and former Governor w. S. Jennings
of jacksonville.

may be allowed to add that, of late,

that, as far as possible, we ought to

"The people who have imposed such
sacrifices on themselves are people
who have kept fighting for almost
four years-a people who have mobil-
lied 100000 men from population

creasing exports of that food to
France, declares Andre Tardieu, the
French High Commissioner to the
United States, in an address he deliv-
cred here tonight before the Southern
Commercial Congress.
'You must do it because it is a case
of necessity, because it must be done"
asserted M. Tardieu. "For these last
three months the shipments of cereals
from America to Europe have been
short about one-third of the supply
recognized as indispensable to strictly

Summing up some of the economies
of food practiced in France and to en-
phasize his request for more food
from America, M. Tardieu said;
Eve are aware that the French ma
ton has always lived mostly on wheat
bread. Our pre-war consumption was
100000 tonss per month. Our pres
ent consumption has been now reduced
to $4,000 tons, a reduction of about
25 per cent.
"Of course it was impossible to re-
duce to any great extent the bread ra-
ton of the soldier. That ration, which
amounted in the first years of the war
to about 25 ounces, has been progress
sively cut down to little over 81
ounces.
"But, on the other hand, as regards
the civilian population, we had to es-
tablish the individual bread card, al
lowing only about 10 ounces per day,
which means barely the third part of
the average daily bread consumption
of the French peasant or workman be-
fore the war.
Feeding of horses and cattle on ce-
reals which could be used for the MAX
ing of bread has been prohibited. This
resulted in a decreasing of so per cent
in the number of horses in France and
in an important reduction of our
cattle.

the other hand, all. flour consuming
industries. The manufacturing of bis
cults, and of pastry, has been compile
tely prohibited. Strict rules have been
imposed on hotels and restaurants,
namely: absolute suppression of fancy
bread.
81 have heard that some Americans
who were in France, few weeks ago,
have been wondering why we have not
kept the meatless days.
"This suppression of meatless days
resulted from the lack of cereals for
the cattle feeding, which involved the

Evening-Special Committee
Appointed To Submit Plans

AT the regular meeting of the local
camp of the Woodmen Of the World
last Tuesday it was decided to make
the meeting of Tuesday, October /
a special session for the considera.
tion of the fall and winter work OF
the camp. Much interest was dis
played and a special committee was
appointed to submit plans for the
members to keep the home fires
burning while the 5000 neighbors
from this jurisdiction are engaged in
swatting the Kaiser.
Another important special commit
tee named was the one requested by
the Food Administration and it is ex-
pected that they will see to it that
the social committee provides nothing
in the way of refreshments that will
interfere with Hoover's plan of con-
servation.
The financial question will be fully
discussed at the next meeting and all
neighbors should be present to take
part in its settlement. The camp has
over $1,000 invested in government
securities now and intends to go the
limit in supporting the war in this
manner.
After the meeting last Tuesday
the social committee provided re-
freshments and cigars and card play
ing was INDUCED in by those desiring
to remain and argue over the history
