APPLICATION OF THRIFT

The efforts to bring to conrnon understanding Tie
necessitv for thrift seem neefe to certain extent
but there has been progress and there will be greater
n cgress as time goes Ertire communities cannot be
adjusted quickly into new and strange practice. IN
esvduas cannot be made to feel pressing needs unless
those needs in press then For that very rea-

recent writer has touched upon the subject in way
that would lead to suspicion that he would nulify eff

more than the commodity itself there is saving if
fish or chicken costs much bee why eat fish
chicken to the exclusion of beef?f colnbread costs
much as wheaton bread why the substitute? In that
the writer has lost to sight the fact that the object of
the substitution is to release beef and wheaton
bread for of the armies in the trenches Even if the
fish, chicken and cornbread cost bit mora than the beef
and wheat bread it is the duty of the American people

John Kananis

John Kananis Douglass, who came
to Tarpon Springs when quite a boy

Douglass, whose name he adopted,
grew up to be fine specimen of man

THE PROPER PROPORTION"

In determining what proportion OF
free reading matter should be accord
ed to an advertiser who buys space, a
customer should be guided by his own
experience in buying things.
How much free news print stock
does the manufacturer or jobber al
lot to you as a bonus with your or
ders? What does the ink man give
you? Does your landlord give you
the free use of a few extra offices or
lofts to show his appreciation of your
generosity in agreeing to pay rent for
certain space?
If, on the other hand, you must pay
for everything which enters into the
production of your newspaper, and
must depend for your revenues upon
your sales of paper and of the adver-
Using space in it, why should you give
away either of these commodities p

MR.. {. NJ. BACKUS ENTERTANS
EDITOR Lew BROWN

Editor Lew Brown of the st. Peters
burg Independent, stole quietly into
Tarpon Springs last week and was
here during the big Washington's
Birthday celebration. But no one saw
him and that explains the absence
from the banquet of Mr.. E. M. Backus.
Editor Brown was sick, and as he was
the guest of Mr.. Backus, the latter
stayed at home to console the editor
and keep him from getting lonely.
We met Mr.. Backus and Editor
Brown Sunday and were glad to see
that a few days in Tarpon Springs
had done the sick man world of
good. We suggested that he should
make this his permanent home.
But, we are looking for something
big to happen soon. Mr.. Backus and
Editor Brown couldn't well spend a
week together without framing up
something worth while. Mr.. Backus
has promised to tell us when he has
something for publication and we are
waiting with much curiosity. We
have an idea it will be an announce
ment that Director General McAdoo
has approved Of the re-routing of
traffic down the west coast without go
ing around the triangle to Jackson
vile. We hope so, anyway.

MRS. E.E. HOADLEY ENTERTA|NF

Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Hoadley charm
ingly entertained several of their
friends at their beautiful home, "Villa
Marie" last Saturday. A delicious
and generous luncheon, part of which
was brought by the guests, served at
the noon hour on the large screen-in
porch overlooking the gulf. After
lunch some of the guests played five
hundred and auction, while those who
did not care to participate strolled
around on the beach or out on the
spacious piazzas. This home is most
pleasantly situated directly on the
gulf, where the cool sea breeze may
be enjoyed all the time, and the house
itself is very large and comfortable.
The guests fully enjoyed this most de-
ightful picnic. Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. George Jameson, Mrs.
Charles Jameson, Mr.. and Mrs. Pc
terson and their guest, Mrs. John Da-

Cancelled postage stamps for the Red
Cross. Somebody, somewhere, has
started one of those pleasant, but like

the value of postage stamps which
have served their original purpose.
This time the idea spread abroad is
that the American Red Cross has de-
vised a method of extracting the dyes
from the Cancelled stamps and using
the dyes. The postofice department
reports that several bags of old
stamps have accumulated through the
good will of persons who thought they
were doing something to help win the
war. Within the last two weeks, also,
scores of letters have been received
at Red Cross headquarters, from per-
sons asking information regarding the
matter. The stamps are of no use to
the Red Cross.
