many come at different times, and
would enjoy a place they could
call their home while here.
F, AS we all feel great deal is
due to the soldier, as he has gone

of the room, the others contrib
uted to the fitting up of the same,
of which more is yet to be done,
which will need more than has yet
been paid out. Any person, or
society or club wishing to donate
toward the same, will please hand
to the chairman of committee,
Mrs. S. j. Hewitt, and it will be
gratefully received, and wisely
expended.

Increase in Army Since Start of
War
May 30th, 1918.

One Of the interesting develop
ments of the war, according to
statement authorized by the War
Department, is the rapid expan-
ion of the various bureaus of the
War Department. At the out
break of the war there were less
than 5000 employees ON duty
The number now is approximately
$4,000, an increase of 500 pei
cent. While this represents a tire
mendous expansion, the increase
in the army itself has been more
than 1900 per cent.
Only 4 out Of every 100 officers
in the service were in the army al
the time the war began.
The increase in personnel at the
administrative end of the wal
thus has not kept pace with the
growth of the Military Establish
ment.

Picked Fish in Our Bay

Wallace Chadman, lawyer, sage
and humorist of Punta Gorda,
dropped into Tampa last night af-
ter spending a day at Lakeland on
law matters. Chad. is as enter
taining as ever, and carries with
him an elegant sunburn, aceumu-
lated, so he says, while angling for
picked behring's off Punta Cor
'da's still uncompleted bridge. He
promises to bring Adrian Jordan
here to prove that picked things
are found in Charlotte Harbor
and, in fact, all waters adjacent
to Punta Gorda.-Tampa Trib-
une, June 7th.
No doubt the Tribune refers to
the remarkable fish stories which
occasionally appear in The Her
aid; and while some of them
should be taken with a grain of
salt, we are pleased to have the
Tribune refer to them as picked
things" since we have an abhor-
renee of anything "fresh. "

We do not know what CONNER
eial and industrial conditions are
to be when the war Closes. but we
do know that a Liberty Bond and
other United States Government
securities will be sound and Sc
cure. Every dollar loaned the
Government by our people now is
a dollar saved for the time when
peace comes. With their savings
invested in these sound securities,
the American people will be well
prepared to meet the problems
that peace will bring. It is a
species of insurance for that day.

The people of Gainesville are
rejoicing over the news received
from Washington that a $1,000
900 castor bean plant is to be To-
Gated in Gainesville. Florida soil
is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of the castor bean, and the
fact that this will be the only
plant Of the kind in the South will
greatly stimulate the growth of
the bean in the state. The gov
eminent has secured the plant of
the Florida Industrial Corpora
ton, located just north of Gaines
vile. The mill was formerly OPP
Grated by the Gainesville Chemi-
cal Company, but the government
will use it for converting castor
beans into lubricating oil for mil
itary airplanes. The mill will
handle all castor bean crops east
of the Mississippi river. The u
nited States will spend $2,000,000
remodeling the plant and making
it the most modern in the country.
