ped sfare-thee-well, Brother Wat
kins, ali Z"
George Saunders of the Port Richey
Co. began fishing last Sunday morn
ing at o'clock and returned home at
eleven the same night He had har-
rowing tale to tell. He was using
Idle Hours, one-man boat, and had
fshed all over the mouth of the Cootee
and the estuary thereof and the first
thing he knew he had caught so many
fish that it overloaded the boat. When
he Inadvertently moved the wad of
chewing gum in his mouth from the
right to the left cheek, without max
ing due allowance for the shift of
weight, the boat turned turtle. Saun-
ders managed to save the fish and also
to right the boat, but he lost the oars
ard it was some time before he miss
ed them. 1t was getting dusk, and
the tide was running a millrace for
Old Mexico and little Idle Hours was
carried along like driftwood. Saunders
was in a devil of fix but he is a
sport and he continued to troll and
cast for fish. When he was about
three miles off shore he was rewarded.
A drum fish took the heavy line and
started against tide with the hook.
Saunders coached that drum fish
along and it towed the boat right up
to Capt. Calkins's dock where it gave
a last flip and turned its belly to the
skies. Saunders says the drum weigh
ed about so pounds when it struck
but only pounds when it got to Cal
kins's dock. Capt. Calldns says a fish
loses weight rapidly when towing
heavy loads. This seems quite prob
| able.
r. C. Booth has purchased book
entitled Science of Fishing by Lake
Brooks. He has read it religiously
| for three weeks, and it is believed
that in another three weeks he will go
fishing. The last time Booth went
after bass he caught mud turtle
weighing II pounds and in landing
the "bass strike" he fell into rich
black muck up to his neck, and the
turtle almost go him. Booth says
Science of Fishing" is fake. 1t
didn't say a word about how to es-
cape swapping turtle when one is
buried in muck and three friends are
lined on the bar k encouraging the tur-
tie.

STRETCHING OUT THE SUGAR

The U. s. consumption Of refined
sugar during the first I'VE months OF
1918 was 100000 tons. That supply,
for various reasons, has not been re-
plenfshed to the extent that was hoped
tho sugar yield was not as good az
hoped while the U-boat toll was rather
worse. Hence there will be until the
early winter and the new crop arrives
a distinct. but not disastrous, shortage
Of sugar.
If any great proportion of the popu.
lation insist on clinging to the former
sugar ration, the supply on hand will
assuredly give out. Divine Providence
Is not likely to take care Of a nation
that won't take care Of itself. and
sugar can hardly be counted on to
drop from the skies. However, tbs

On County Taxes
During September.

The per cent. discount period having
expired on the 1St instant, this office desires
to express to county taxpayers, and the pub
lie generally, its appreciation of the SPLEEN
did spirit of cooperation, as evidenced by
the payment during the month of August, of
nearly one-half of the entire Levy for 1918,
both State and county.
The total collections for the month are
Sl28,2s5, and the record should be most
gratifying to all interested tn the welfare of
the county.

take advantage of the August discount, we
call attention to the per cent. discount on
county taxes allowable during September.

But there is another side of this Fair
Price List Patriotism demands that
housewives should market more intel.
ligertly than they ever have before.
They should keep In touch with the
constantly changing conditions and
suggestions Of the Food Administra-
ton and know why they are being
asked to do this, that and the other
thing. Much of this information can

The action of the business men OF
Cumberland in protesting TO the CITY
Council OF that place against issuing
licenses 10 Carniyals is something
that is entitled to the commentator
of that class of citizens who give con
sideration to these things. The ear
niyal that was in Cambridge during
the past two or three weeks did noth
inc except cause many thoughtless
nersons TO waste considerable sums
of money that should, in many ca
SEES. have been saved against the
time next winter when work will not
be so plentiful. Why not Cambridge
business men take similar action?
The statement from Cumberland
is as follows:
State Senator George L. Eppler eX
ploded a bomb here Monday, when,in
open letter, he attacked the members
of the City Council of Cumberland
for granting a license to a carnival
to show here this week, after the
council last week had passed an or
dinance unanimously prohibiting OPP
en- air shows and carnivals exhibit
ing here at any time in the future.
Sentiment generally is against carnl-
walls, which bring an undesirable ele-
ment. and for this reason the coun-
Gil last week, Oh representation OF
citizens, passed the ordinance to keep
them out, the ordinance being SUCH
as to apply particularly to the carni-
val now licensed for this week and
which brought Senator Eppler's criti-
cism of the council.
In the absence of explanation
saws the Senator, the action OF the
council. to my mind, is unpatriotic i'll
the extreme" Senator Eppler cites
present war needs as justification for
his attack on the council, one large
employer of labor here having ap-
peared before the council and asser-
ted that such a carnival near his
plant would reduce his output so per
cent.
Following Senator Eppler's letter,
the Ministerial Union of Cumberland
issued a strong excoriation of the
council for it's action, demanding a
recall of the permit for the carnival,
and, if this is not possible, calling up
on the citizens here to refrain from
squandering money on such pleas
ures as being out of harmony with
patriotism.

Summer Dress

Little girl you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no little skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl when on the street
You appear to be so neat;
But, my dear, you are a sight
With your dress SO awful tight.
Not a thing to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Just because you dress so wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
Pretty soon / do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.

The Yellow Dog

AS an example of how the yellow

voiced in the thousands of comnlunl-
cations addressed to Henry Irving
Dodge, founder of the Nationwide
movement to suppress the spread of
enemy propag anda.
Mr.. Dodge defined the thoughtless
American who circulated Hundred
lies as Yellow Dogs and his descrlp-

triot has been amplified by the MEM

every city in the United States.

He is a low, white livered skunk.
He is a snake in the grass.
He is vulture in human form.
He carries a tale of woe.
He snaps at the American eagle.
He would destroy the bluebird of

He lives on the bone of contention
He is spotted with Kaiserism.
He would harass the English lion.
He spews on the lily of France, and

He has the fangs of a serpent.
He has the hide of a rhinocerous.
His bite spreads the rabies OF

His mouth foams with Hun-hatch-

He bites the hand that feeds him.
He is a zebra marked with the
stripes of the Wilhelmstrasse.
He is a rat who when trouble ari-
ses seeks the nearest hole.
The Yellow Dog is a hound of hell.
He is a porcupine who shoots his
quills of hate in all directions.
He is a parrot who jabbers only
the doggerel of kultur taught by his
master.
He is a barnacle who would lay
the ship of state up for repairs.
He is a whale who spouts his
emulsion of TentoniSm.
He is an eel who with Shiny slip
periness wiggles out of the clutches
of the law.
He is an owl, who feigning wis
dom, boots at all things worth while.
He is a moth, dazzled by the flame
of Prussianism, who stands ready to
dash his foolish head against the
wall.
He is tick, who would make mis-
