Stop Killing of All Game for a

The scarcity of game in the Ev-

more drastic laws covering the

the next regular session of the
Legislature next April that will
close the season for a few years

cerned. This would be a good
law and is one that is badly need

The orange packing houses Of
Wauchula are working their full

The orange packers never have
had d better season, their greatest
trouble this year being to get box
es in which to pack the fruit. AL
though the price Of orange boxes
is about twice what it has been III
former years, it is difficult to get
them at any price.
The Wauchula truckers con
tinue to send out from fifty to one
hundred crates of vegetables daily
and the prices are fine, peas being
quoted at from $6 to $50 per hamp-
er, beans $3.50 to $500, egg plants
$3.50 to $500, and peppers $500.
Taking everything in considera-
ton, the growers never had bet

To Speak in Metropolitan To.
morroW Night.

President Wilson will launch the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign with an
address tomorrow night in the Metro
politan Opera House. The President pre-
yiously had decided that he could not
leave Washington to make an extended
speaking tour on behalf OF the loan, but
he consented yesterday to speak on the
eve of the opening of the three weeks
drive. Governor Benjamin Strong OF
the Federal Reserve Bank will preside
at the meeting.
Final preparations for the campaign
went steadily ahead yesterday. Treas
ury Department officials In Washington
took cognizance OF widespread reports
that no subscriptions OF less than $500
would be accepted for the fourth loan
and that no $50 bonds would be issued.
AZ proving the falsity OF these rumors
officials pointed to the fact that a larger
portion OF $50 bonds has been printed
this time than ever before. and TO the
additional fact that loan committees
have instructions to make strong efforts
to sell these baby bonds to persons OF
very small means who are inclined not
to participate in the loan.
About 1900. 900 bonds. mainly of small
denominations. had been finished by the
Bureau Of Printing and Engraving yes
terday and these were on their way 10
Federal reserve district headquarters
The first shipment went Tuesday to San
Francisco and other distant points. and
officials hope TO have some bonds ready
for sale in the large cities when the
subscription period opens just after to-
morrow midnight.

sections which precipitated the strike
and assert that the real originators OF
the strike movement will be found
among the substitutes engaged to re-

1t Is said that a number OF youthful
railway men have taken advantage Of
the country's necessities, believing they
would be able 10 enforce their demands
with the same ease with which the
women bus employees obtained theirs.
Members OF the unions are dissatisfied
with the recent award. but Hoped the
Government would reconsider their de-
mands at an early date.
