Valuable Wives

Speaking Of the reduction of
the salary of the acknowledgement
of Florida to one dollar per year,
/ think that good, capable off
cial of that nature is worth fully
that much-provided he stays
right on the job and tends to his
knitting as he ought to. And |
also think those who are kicking
about the thing ought to be a
shamed of themselves. Reminds
me Of the time when wives used
to sell in the South Sea Islands at
two and a quarter each--but, real
ly, occasionally wives are to be
found worth fully that much. AT
least I've heard so.-Thorn, in

Limitations of Weekly Newspa.
pers

AS weekly newspaper, the st.
Cloud Tribune, like nearly all 9TH
er weekly newspapers of local cir
culation, has limits of space and
expense which are irksome in at
tempting properly to deal with
important public affairs and news
of the "outside world" Especial
ly has it been so with war news.
In this connection the weekly
newspaper is at a great disadvant-
age with the daily newspaper in
reporting news and in expressing
views.
The country weekly newspaper
has found it particularly trying
in attempting to present the war
news. Properly to have done this
would have required one person s
work nearly half day every day
in the week-or say three full
days each week. This to con-
dense the news into readable
and informative synopsis-a sy-
nopsis worth while. At the end
of a week these synopsis
would occupy approximately a
page or more. To have repro
duced the war news entire or
with but few changes from the
daily newspapers would have been
easy work (editorially), but il
would have crowded nearly all
other news out of the weekly
newspaper. There would have
been scant room for local news

Stamp, Red Cross, Food Admins.

DR.. j. HI. Ross, the president of
the Florida Citrus Exchange, the
dean of the Florida orange grow
ers and one of the foremost lead
ers of thought in Florida, says
that "Growers are interested in
obtaining for their product what
it costs to produce it, plus a prof
it. Spectators are interested on
ly in buying fruit at the lowest
possible price and selling it for
the greatest profit they can OBJ
tain. Speculative marketing puts
growers against each other where
one profits, another must take a
loss. Cooperative marketing puts
growers shoulder to shoulder in
working for the common good,
giving their efforts to obtaining
for their products all they are
worth"

All Were Not for Cats

Editor Star: Editor Jordan of
the Punta Gorda Herald in his
defense of Treas. Luning makes
the statement that Mr. Luning
was the only member of the board
of state institutions who did not
vote for Cats. In this | think he
is mistaken. Commissioner McRae
made several speeches during the
campaign in the interest of the
nominee of the democratic party
for governor and the state ticket,
and so far as | know or recall, he
is the only one Of the nominees
for state office who said or did
thing for the success of the ticket.
If Luning, Crawford, Amos or
Sheats opened their mouths or
pocketbooks after they received
their nomination, | never heard of
it.
I have heard it remarked sever
al times that Mr.. McRae was the
only democrat in the bunch, and
he is the only one l had ever
thought Of supporting again for
public office. But | am glad to see
the assertion made that Mr.. Lun-
ing also voted the democratic
ticket in 1916. w. w. G.
No man in this state knows
how another man votes unless the
other man tells him. The i'm
preston is general and the Star
has shared in it, that Mr.. Craw-
ford is the only man in the cabi-
net who voted for Cats. This,
however, has nothing to do with
the condition of the school at
Mariana, nor the extraordinary
frame of mind in which must have
been the mem ers of the cabinet
when they signed the whitewash-
ing report. We fail to see where
any one Of them had any reason
for signing his name to that dis
graceful document.-Ocala Star.

What Women Can Do

Sometimes we wonder if the
women of DeLand realize that the
hard-earned dollar their husbands
make must first be in DeLand be-
fore then can make it. And we
wonder if they realize that every
time they send dollar out of
town, it makes just one dollar
less for some ones husband to
earn.
There is no question but The
more dollars there are in this COM
munity the more chance the men
have of making a few of them.
Every time some woman sits
down with a mailorder catalogue,
or runs to the city to purchase
something she could get at home,
she is cutting down the number of
dollars in circulation here, and
making it harder for her husband
to get hold of them. If you send
your dollars to Chicago, what
chance has he to ever get it back
If every one did the same thing
and bought in the city instead of
here at home, where would there
be, in short time, any dollars for
your husband to work for, and
what would your home be worth
in a town that had no stores?
Think this over. The, farther
you send your dollar, the longer
lit takes it to get back home. Re-
amber that the dollar earned
at home rightfully belongs
Qnd you, could not have Sc
If some one had been
ghtless enough to spend ii
here your husband could not
nave earned it. The women OF
this community have it in their
Ipower to increase their husband s
earning capacity if they want to-
And they can best do it by buying
here at home.-Volusia County
Record.

Red Cross Membership Report

Punta Gorda and suburbs GER
tainly did themselves proud in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll-Call,
as partial report made on Mon
day evening shows. This report
was partial, because some of the
teams have made no report what
ever; yet there were enrolled so
far 287 annual members, 2 maya
zine members and Is juniors. A
complete report will undoubtedly
show the membership to be well
over 300 as against a total of Ill
members secured last year, While,
of course, a great many of these
are memberships renewed, yet
many are those who had never
been enrolled before. This is a
remarkable result in view of the
fact that the war is over, and
some persons feel the necessity

the newspapers have been over
loaded since our nation began
fighting the Prussian barbarians.
So with editorials. A weekly
newspaper must have several long
or many short editorials in each
issue if it would attempt properly
to deal with public affairs; where
as daily newspaper can review
such matters piecemeal daily. The
daily newspaper has a further ad-
vantage in that it can advocate
its policies six or seven times a
week; whereas the weekly journ-
al is restricted to expression only
once a week.
The business Of conducting a
weekly newspaper is not gradu-
atlng many men into the million
aire class. 1t must exist with a
minimum of employees and mini
mum of pages. Too much liter
airy and mechanical labor and too
much material, which means too
much expense in comparison with
the weekly newspaper that would
deal with life's varied activities
from growing radishes to settling
the fate of natons.-St. Cloud
Tribune.

Name Once Was Carloshatchee

Some months ago, Mr.. w. STAN
ley Hanson of Fort Myers, who is
greatly interested in Seminole In
dams and Indian lore, told the
writer that the Seminoles disclaim
all responsibility for the deriva-
ton of the word "Caloosahatch-
ee," which is commonly under
stood to be proper name of In
dian derivation. They say, Gin
dian no savve Caloosahatchee. All
same Carloshatchee."
1t is claimed by their tradi,
tions that long time ago a Span
lard by name of Carlos explored
the waters of what is now Lee
,.ccunty, together with their tribu
Iaries, and upon some Of the more
prominent Of these he bestowed
the title of Carlos, thus seeking
to perpetuate his name. This is
corroborated by the fact that We
have Big Carlos Pass, Little Car.
los Pass, San Carlos Bay, Carlos
(Estero) Island, etc. And what
is more natural than that flowing
into San Carlos Bay we find the
Carlos River, or combining the
name Carlos with the Seminole
"hatchee," meaning river, gives
us Carloshatchee," which was
subsequently corrupted into Ca,
loosahatchee.
This theory was recently con.
firmed in a most interesting man.

work i'm France and this country has
resulted in $500 being subscribed up to

for. in some cities and towns through

portloned has been raised within the
nrst three days, and the workers are
now devoting their efforts to increase
the amount
The advantage that the Salvation
Army has In working at the front lies
in its trained women workers. Many Of
them are mothers and thus doubly able
to perform this great service.
There is no Kid glove arrangement.

men in this struggle. Scores Of men
turn 10 the Salvation Army women as

them their troubles and temptations.
