CZECHO-S -SLOVAKS
 BUY w. s. STAMPS

The Czechoslovaks have been buying war savings stamps On the occasion of Prof. Masaryk's recent visit to the Czech people of Baltimore, $75,0O0 worth of the baby bonds were sub scribed in a single day by them. And this was not all. The campaign in Baltimore is not ended and new subscriptions are pouring in regu- larly.
 According to available figures, the Czechoslovaks hold third place among our foreign born peoples for subscrip- tions to government loans. They bought about $31,OOO,0o0 worth of Third Liberty Bonds exclusive of the subscriptions of workmen in mines and other outlying places. So it ap- | pears that the Czechs are not willing to rest on the laureis won by their | fighting men in Russia and Siberia. l They are making their dollars work. l too.

Wants Truckmen To
 Report Removals

Meigs B. Russell appeared before the Board of Aldermen at it's meeting last night to advocate the adoption of a proposed ordinance requiring truck men and movers to make reports of families they move. He asserted the business men of Bridgeport lost s200,- GOO year through families obtaining credit and moving away from the city without paying their bills or leaving trace of where they have gone. Oth- CTS spoke in favor of the ordinance, but a number of the truckmen op- posed it because it will require con- siderable bookkeeping. No action was taken by the board.

Old City of Timaad,

Timgad is an ancient Roman city.
forgotten and buried on the slopes Of
the Aures mountains. The desert
winds heaped the market places and
ruined streets with shifting sand; the
jackals and birds q prey made the
stately forum, with its crumbling col
umns, their haunts and hunting
grounds: For centuries Timgad lay de-
serted and forgotten, unvisited except
by occasional wandering caravans.
In recent years, however, the city
has been partially restored and exca-
waited by French architects and arch
biologists. The columns of the facade
of the capitol have been regretted !;
the sand cleared from the mosaic floors
of the ruined baths, whose celaEs are
as fresh and bright as in the old days
of Roman splendor. The arch of Tras
jan over one of the two main streets
stands as it did in the days of the
great emperor, the founder of the city.
The amphitheater, typically Roman,
held at least 1000 spectators in the
days when gladiatorial combats were
considered respectable. @

SOUTH AMERICAN

IN FLORIDA FAIR

Secretary and Manager B. K. Hama

ISOLATION, looking ahead to the very
probable trade relations which are to
be established, after the war, with
South and Central American countries,
has planned to hold the Pau-American

November q to December 6 of this
year Evidences of the wisdom of hold.
ing this international Exposition here,
and to which President Wilson is to
invite delegates for the Latin Ameri-
can countries to the south of us, is al
ready making it's appearance.
Several days ago representatives OF
q western pillow and tractor manufac-
turing concern were in Jacksonville
looking for site on which to locate "a
branch OF their manufacturing plant.
they stated that they felt confident
mat Jacksonville was destined to be-
come an important port of import
and export at the conclusion of the
present war and especially in connec-
slon with South and Central American
trade which his and other manufac-
turing concerns are going after vigoz-
ously as soon as peace is established
Florida is confidently believed by far
seeing business men like Manager
Hanafourde, of the Florida State Fair,
and the Western manufacturers to
have great future awaiting her in
the line of South and Central Amer.
lean trade after the war. To bring
their representatives to the Fair this
year, in order that they may see and
know of Florida's vast and varied
products, agricultural and manufacture
ed, is considered as very wise bust
ness move.
