THE CHARTER IS HERE

The incorpo ration. charter OF
the Baca County. Broom and
Brush association was received
last week. and last Saturday
the board of directors met for
the first time officially. p &
The factory saaerDrlse will
be pushed rapidly from now on,
the object being to have the fac
tory In active operation for this
years crop-in the early fall.
This will prove the greatest
thing that has ever come to Baca
county, and will do more to spell
prosperity for the people than
any other thing that could be
done, as it will mean a sure mar
ket and a paying price.
The Herald has joined in the
good work of this great enter
prise, and will keep the people
of the county posted on every
move in it's promotion and pro-
gress, and every phase of the
business, and the building and
equipmentof the factory.
The first of April we shall be-
gin a series of articles on the
seed, the planting, cultivation,
harvesting. ricking, seeding, and
baling, to produce the kind of
brush wanted by this factory.
If all these things are done
wrong-you lose, and the factory
suffers. It follows that every
stock holder should keep in touch
with the, progress of things and
the right means of producing the
best broom brush; and the way to
do :hat is to read the Great County
Builder.
Just now we want to call your
particular attention to the lengthy
explanatory notes on the factory
enterprise else " here in the Herald

THE IRISH PROBLEM GAN

All That is Necessary is to Send
Enough Irish Potatoes Like Those
Grown Near Tarpon Springs to

There is on display in The Leader
Office window the finest lot of Irish
potatoes ever grown in any land and
they were grown right near Tarpon
Springs by Mr.. ]. R. Mobley and are
on sale at the Tarpon Grocery store.
These potatoes average five inches
in diameter, though many of the pick
ed ones are larger than that by at
least an inch both ways.
We never knew such Irish potatoes
could be grown in Florida.
These are the white variety and are
almost perfect in shape, and free
from blemishes.
Mr.. Mobley should be sent to Ireland
to show the Micks how to grow pota-
toes and get their mind off the idea
of encouraging the Huns to land
troops on the Irish coast.
Mr.. H. w. Reigel gave US the pota-
ties which we have in the window, and
we will stop eating meat for some
time while we turn vegetarian.

FOURTEEN RECRUITING STA
TIONS FOR ARMY IN FLORIDA


\ To accommodate the large number
of volunteers for the different branch
es of the army, Uncle Sam has estab-
lished recruiting stations at the fol-
lowing named places: Jacksonville,
st. Augustine, Palatka, Fort Pierce,
Miami, Orlando, Ocala, Tampa, Live
Oak, Tallahassee, Mariana, Gaines
vile, Arcadia, and Pensacola, Florida.
Much interest is manifest in the
new tank service corps, which is call
ing for physically, qualified men who
are familiar with automobiles, motor
cycles, tractor drivers, and all forms
of gas engines. For this branch, both
volunteers and selective service mer
are eligible for enlistment or ind1c-
ton. The United States Guards are
now calling for men who have had
experience as policemen, iremen, we'll
organized national guardsmen, and
former members of the army, navy
and marine corps. Aside from the
above branches the coast artillery
corps, engineers corps, medical de-
partment, cavalry, infantry, field ar
tillery, and stevedores (white), quar-
termaster corps, also different detach-
ments of the quartermaster corps, is
still open to men of the volunteer age
between Is and p and 81 to 40 years
of age.

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE

Behind the British Lines in France
May 13.- Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED Press. THE young soldier
under orders to embark for the first
time who pictures to himself a future
which will be all fighting days and
sees himself step from the troopship
to be rushed to battle as did the first
British divisions sent to the rescue
at Mons, is doomed to disappointment.
As matter of fact, he will spend
only small portion of his time in the
front line, and even while there, will
see actual fighting at more or less
rare intervals. Life will hold a good
deal of ''base" and "billets' for him
even in France.
This time spent far behind the lines
he will find irksome or pleasant, ac-
cording to whether his temperament
is eager and enterprising or the re-
verse. For the great majority, how
ever, billets and base camps are very
pleasant. The food is excellent, work
is comparatively light and amuse-
ments are plentiful.
The Associated Press correspondent
paid a visit the other day to huge
artillery base camp, situated on the
French coast, near some famous
bathing beaches and within easy reach
of a big city. Within the camp, which
also serves for a large number of
engineers and special infantry units
are several theatres, the canteens of
the British expeditionary force, the
lounge rooms and huts Of the Young
Mems Christian association and vari-
GUS "camp Institutes" and athletic
grounds. Here the soldiers have a
fairly comfortable and enjoyable vaca-
,tion.
Most of the men enjoy the varied
opportunities for amusement to the
full. Occasionally one meets a few.
men, probably just over from Eng
land, who are impatient at every days
delay in moving forward to the "busi-
ness end of the line" The sergeant
major soothes them with wise words:
Don't worry, boys" he says, there's
going to be lots of fighting in this
war, enough for, all of you and a lit
tie over to spare"
It is the custom at this base, so far
as artillery officers are concerned, to
distinguish between those who have
not yet been up to the firing line and
those who have had their baptism of
fire. The former has fairly complete
program of daily drills and are kept
occupied also with lectures and edu-
.cational courses.
The veterans are permitted to fcre-s
go these trials to large extent. They
have little to do but amuse themselves
with sports, theatres, operas and the.
beach, subject only to the stipulation
that they must always be prepared
to move off at a few hours notice.
Throughout the army, in the. ordin-
airy course of things, the individual
soldier gets rest period at the base
every two or three months. Some

WHAT WOULD YOU DO
TO STOP SUCH THINGS?

President Wilson, while reviewing
the Red Cross parade in New York,

that German soldiers crucified on q
barn door. What would you do to
stop such fieldish things?
