We phoned to Tampa and found that
the leased wires of the Associated

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
AGENT HERE YESTERDAY Y

John H. Jeffries, of Largo, county
agricultural agent for Pinellas county,
was in the city yesterday, interview
ing agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducers, securing information with a
view to forming local organization.
Mr.. Jeffries was for some time con-
nected with the demonstration station
at Gainesville, Fla, but came to Pi-
'nellas county from North Carolina. In
company with F. J. Zimmerman of the
Carmen Grape company, of this. city,
he spent the day looking over the
field. He discourses interestingly on
agricultural topics, showing himself
to be well qualified in this line. He
will endeavor to secure committee
in each community to take up this
work, which we believe to be of great
Importance. If Tarpon Springs would
come to the front in this line she must
organize. Little of public worth is
ever accomplished without organized
efforts, and no location is better suited
as an agricultural certer than this
city. incidentally there are many
things to be accomplished in this way.
Why not hold annual exhibits of our
products here. How could we adver-
tise the products of our land in any
better way? Let us encourage this
move; it is in the right direction.
Mr.. Jeffries will return in a few
days and take the matter up again.

PROTECTING "KEY' INDUSTRIES

London, Nov. 14.-Recommendation

HIGH LIGHTS IN LIFE OF
EMPEROR CHARLES

Emperor Charles I of Austria, king
of Hungary, was an unpromising ma
jor in an Austrian infantry regiment
when the shot of the assassin who
killed the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand on June %, 1914, made him the
heir APPARENT to the throne in the
Hawks Castle" on the banks of the
River Aar
Two hundred or more monarchs of
this historic house of Hapsburg ruled
for centuries in the land of Magyar,
Slav and Teuton-centuries of blood
shed, tyranny and aggression-and
sleep their last sleep in the wonder
full crypt of the Capauchin church in
Vienna. Emperor Francis Joseph, the
aged predecessor of the youthful
Charles, seeing the Handwriting on
the wall" had hoped to unite the dis
cordant elements among his 50,000,-
900 subjects whose racial antagonisms
were complicated by the absorption
by Austria of the Serbian provinces
of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1908.
1t was the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand's determination to bring about
triune empire made up of Magyar,
Slav and German states, it is general
ly believed, that led to his assassina-
tion in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdinand
feared the dual monarchy might be
ended upon the death of Francis Jo-
seph by the Intervention of Russia OF
Germany and sought thus to forestall
it.
Charles / was born August II, 1887,
the son of the late Archduke Otto OF
Saxony. He married the Princess Zita
of the Bourbon house of Parma (Ital-
ian) in 1911. When the Nunc Dimit-
tbs was sung for his dead granduncle
the Emperor Francis Joseph, the only
achievements of Charles brought to
public notice were that he was keer

throughout the country, the work i I
this yard has progressed according t.
schedule. The lumber is being pro.
vided by local concerns, and they have
handled the proposition with all the
facilities under their command. The
work on the lighters now being bull
has, from time to time, been inspected
by naval officers. In fact, some one
of them is usually on the job. Then
reports have invariably been: "The
work is Al. We have no adverse crit
icism to make"
Space will not permit detailed
statement of the work being done;
but few salient points may be men
toned. The writer has some knowl-
edge of work of this character, and
we take a pardonable pride in lauding
the work here, especially because it is
of local interest and of untold value
to the city. There are at present about
fifty men employed, all skilled in the
work each has TO perform
AS mentioned IN yesterdays Leader,
two heavy winches have been receiv-
ed. The Leader was in error yester-
day in stating that these winches were
being installed. The rest of the ma
chinery has not arrived. But as soon
as it comes the work on that part of
the job win commence.

AIS pounds Of working steam pressure
and with one single and one double
cylinder hoisting engine. Everything
is worked out on blue prints, even to
the showing of the finished lighter at
work.
Let us consider these matters when
we are disposed to complain. And,
too, let us ponder the results that
might be attained to. if we would all
turn our minds to boosting enterprises
which build and support cities. Such
is the plant of the E. Macrenaris
Shipbuilding corporation, with home
capital, home labor, and home push.

The course of the new ruler was
regulated largely from Berlin and for
the first six months of his reign Aus
tria- Hungary was regarded as a mere
German state. Hindenburg's successes
in Galicia in 1916, in which Charles
shared as commander in the field,
gave the young monarch a prestige
which enabled him to hold the Aus
trians to the Central powers until the
collapse of Bulgaria and Turkey and
the final crash.

We are to announce, too, that they

Patillo, rector of st. Andrews Episco-
pal church of Tampa, as the princi-
pal speaker of the evening. To those
who have listened to DIR. Patillo, the
announcement of his presence on the
platform is all that is necessary to
insure their presence. DR.. Patillo's
eloquence and oratorical powers are
superior. His broad mind, his ex-
tended information and his personal
connection with men preeminently
qualify him as a public speaker on
national affairs. DR.. Patillo has a
son, a captain in the United States
army, serving in France. At Chateau
Thierry he was gassed, narrowly es-
Gaping death. After recovering, he
returned to the front and was subse-
quently wounded He is still in France.
ly, Emperor Charles had indicated his
desire for peace, however, in speeches
before the reichsrath. In December,
1917, he declared his willingness 10
conclude peace with the ailias ii they
would guarantee the integrity of
Austria Hungary.
Conditions in the dual monarchy
were rapidly growing worse. There
were many cabinet changes and as
sassinations. The Magyars, Czecho-
Slavs and other nationalities were
clamoring for constitutional reforms
and autonomous government.
Thereafter Charles's lot was far
from being happy one. He was re-
ported to have refused to send Aus
trian troops to the western battlefront
despite the German emperor's impor-
tunity. In every way he endeavored
to stem the tide of revolution which
seemed to be rising. He promised all
kinds of reforms and as a sop to his
iiscontented subjects pardoned "a
prisoners awaiting trial at Sarajevo
for high treason.
In October, 1918, he announced
plans for the liberalization of Aus
and in an address to the
diet frankly admitted his
throne was in ..peril." A day or two
later Count Karolyki, leader of the
Hungarian republicans, announced the
success of a bloodless revolution in
Budapest and declared Hungary a
free and independent state. Still lat
er the German and other provinces
declared their purpose to become au-
bonomous entities and the house of the
once the leader of the
Holy Roman empire, seemed to be
about to collapse like a house of
cards.
When the climax came, and Austria
was obliged to capitulate, Charles re-
fused to sign the drastic peace terms,
ielegating this duty to his commander
in the field. This was shortly follow
ed by his abdication. d
