ON SAVING FOODS

A penny stick or candy or a lollipop
in America is a bun in Belgium and
France. Those are the countries where
there are hungry children who need
buns worse thar you need candy. And
if every little American, in every state
in the Union would not spend that
daily penny for candy any day, buns
with sugar on them, could be given to
the hungry children over across the
sea, and they would become fat, and
healthy and happy like yourself.
Now that sounds like magic, and
magic it is-white magic, of the very
finest kind. AS magic is quite difficult
to understand, you will have to read
every word of what follows in order to
see how the trick is done.
You see, the story OF how an Ameri-
can lollipop can turn into a Belgian
bun-just like that's very much like
the story that ends with dog won't
bite pig, pig won't jump over stile, and
i can't get home tonight"
Let's pretend that we have come to
the nice part at the end, where the pig
finally jumps over h stile and the old
lady gets home, all because the cat, way
off yonder, began to eat the rat. In
this story it's the little Americans, who
begin to save on lollipops, and the bun
that finally lands safe in the hands of
the Boys and girls over there. Here's
the way it goes:
If American children say no to that
I1z1rf,n -. xIo& @l~N,. ,.,o1 $3.50 1,,n.,, 7,x !,
the man who makes the lollipop out OF
sugar will tell the man who sells the
sugar thai he doesn't need so much
next time. the man who sells the suga,
win tell the man who brings the sugar
from other countries in ships, that he
needn't bother to load up so much
sugar next trip; the ma who brings
the sugar from foreign countries vii
soon find that he doesn't need so many
ships, and then he'll say to Uncle Sam
Here is q ship You do need and 4 DOM

And UncIe Sam will take hat ship

MEAT.
Canada May Add This Delicacy to Its

Winnipeg, Oct. Canada will like

that the government support a policy of

The matter has been taken up with

Home Guards Formed at Oldsmar;
The Tarpon Springs Guards Helped

Oldsmar, July 13-Captain Loomis,
Lieut.. Scribner, Chaplain Linn and
other officers of Company of Tie Pi-
nellas county home guards came to
oldsmar and conducted the first drill
of the Oldmsar contingent. There
were twenty-eight men in line and it
is expected that the number will be
increased. All the men took hold with
pep and enthusiasm, and Capt. Loomis
complimented them on their good
start. Friday night all of the men
went to the Compan C headquarters
in the city hall at Tarpon Springs to
get their uniforms, rifles and ammu-
milton. After the drill refreshments
were served, followed by songs and
speeches. There will be battalion
drill at ST. Petersburg next Thurs
day afternoon, the first ever held by
the Pinellas county guards, and the
Oldsmar men will participate.
Mr.. John Gaunt has been appointed
organist of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church of Oldsmar. Mr.. Gaunt
lis an accomplished player, having
made a good record as organist in the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
New Toronto, and comes mere with
high recommendations as a church
and concert organist. Miss Clara
Gaunt, his daughter, has been ap-
pointed organist in the Methodist Sum
day school at Oldsmar, and she is also
an accomplished musician.
HI. K. Shortt, from the Detroit of :
fee fthe Reolds Farms company, has
been visitor at Oldsmar, and he ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with Florida in general and Oldsmar
in particular. Mr.. Shortt said:
II have been a student of farming
for some time, and find upon exam
ination that Oldsmar is blessed with
an area of about 10000 acres of
choice, dark, sandy loan soil, suitable
for general farming as well as truck
farming. The fact that two crops have
already been harvested at Oldsmar,
with the third crop on the sap field
about half gl;oyIp befe- the middle Of
-; proves 70 me that it is prac-
tical farm program to raise four OF
five crops on the same field in one
year in this partof Florida, which en-
joys such unusually good protection
from frost.

Lieut.. w. j. Vinson writes his par
ents that he is stationed at a point
100 miles southeast of Paris, and that
on very clear day he can see in the
far distance what is said to be the
foothills of the Alps mountains. He
also informed them that by the time
they received his letter he would be
wearing the service stripe. This means
that he has been on active duty with
the American forces for six months.
We wish that the lieutenant would
write us letter for publication, and
feel sure that he will when che can
find the time. These are busy times
over there, and he states that he has
not yet had the furlough he desired

winter for coal with which to heat his
home, to say nothing of the labor in
volved, can look around himself at
Oldsmar and see the thousands OF
acres of timber and know that his
fuel bill will amount to practically
nothing compared to the expense up
north. I met number of people who
had suffered from asthma, catarrh
and bronchial troubles up north, and
all of them have been relieved or
cured since coming to this part of
Florida. Oldsmar is admirably situ-
ated about midway between Tampa,
st. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tar
pom Springs, and a short automobile
ride over brick paved roads taxes one
to dozens of places of interest and
amusement. The salt water bay in
front of Oldsmar is one of the chief
attractions of the town in my opinion,
and can be developed into popular
bathing and fishing resort. The Reolds
Farms company has about 10000 of
the finest citrus landI have ever seen,
and when this industry is further de-
yeloped it is bound to be a success,
because saw an orange grove 73
years old surrounded by our property,
and this grove has never been frozen
down and now has a big crop of young
fruit on the trees. There is another
grove adjoining it about 70 years old,
which has never been frozen down,
and both of these properties are To-
Gated about four miles north of our
town.
There will be a big rush of people
to Oldsmar this fall and during the
coming tourist season, on account of
farm properties and town lots already
sold, in addition to the large number
of sales which the company's sales de-
partment will make in the next few
months. l believe all the conditions
indicate that a great army of north
erners will come to Florida next fall.

In 1860 Charles Borromeo, then %
years of age, was created Cardinal,
and by the side of his uncle, Plus w,
administered the affairs of the Holy
See. His first care was the direction
of the Council of Trent. He urged
forward it's sessions, guided its delib-

with Rome, and by his firmness car

tered upon a still more arduous work
the execution of it's DEGREES. AS
Archbishop of Milan he enforced their
observance and thoroughly restored
the discipline of his See. He founded
schools for the poor, seminaries for
the clerics, and by his community of
Oblates trained his priests to perfec-
ton. Inflexible in maintaining dis
.cipline, to his flock he was a most
tender father. He would sit by the
roadside. to teach a poor man the Pa

IRISH CROSSES.

Ireland the land of Saints and
Scholars, of churches and monaster-
les, of holy wells and sacred shrines.
of ruins and memories, of crosses and
crucifiXes, was famed for. the diver
sity and splendor of the emblem of
the cross, and the clearest proof ex-
lists that the highest Irish art and
the most skillful Irish artists were
employed in its design and execution.
There was the Cross Muredach, or
Monasterboice-tha is, the Monastery
of Boece, or Boetius-in County Louth,
which owed it's origin to the Celebrated

The village of Monasterboice con-
tains the ruins of two churches, a
large round tower, an ancient church
yard, and three marble crosses of ex-
quisite beauty. The crosses are elab-
orately sculptured with legends, inn

is discernible the Red Hand of the
O'Neils. One of these crosses, in
which the name Mure is legible, is be-
lieved to be the most ancient relig-
ious relic in Ireland.
