FLORIDA FISHERIES.

There is a good deal of talk about what can be
done on an acre of Florida land 1t is agreed by
experts that an acre of water can be made TO
produce as much profit acre OF land In
some countries the water is cultivated as gardens
made to supply many kinds of plants, as well as
fish, for food.
No state in the Union has more available
water both fresh and salt. Lakes or rivers are
found in every county in Florida in all aggregat-
ing many thousands acres. Following the linden
tations of the sea coast with it's bays, nlets, la
goons, marshes, rivers and creeks all the way
from Pensacola to Fernandina, the distance is
over 5000 miles with vast acreage of valuable
water bottoms for bedding oysters and clans
and to grow fish.
There are thousands of men engaged in fish
ing enterprises. Pensacola leads IN the snapper
industry At Tarpon Springs is dentered the
only American sponge industry, with an annual
business amounting to million dollars. Apa-
lachicola leads as the oyster center. Except for
enemies, tbs believed that the oyster, owing to
its enormous spawning powers, would soon I'LL
the seas. The possibilities of cultivating oyster
beds very great. Fernandina leads in the
business of canning shrimp. To name all the
points where there are important fishing indus
tries exclusive of Pensacola, ST. Andrews Bay,
Cedar Keys, Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, Key
West, Biscayne Bay, Indian river, ST. Johns riv-
er, Lake Okeechobee and many other lakes, riv-
ers, and bays, Of both salt and fresh water,
would be to call off long list
''The tarpon is the greatest game fish in the
world says the report of the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries. Florida waters contain more tarpon
rsilver fish tina many other available to Ameri-
cans. To take 200-pound fish, powerful and
agile, with rod and reel, often able to spring
fifteen feet out of the water, and it is an exciting
task to land it, by Bleaching it or bringing it to
gait. st. Petersburg has tarpon club and its
record of achievements is long and interesting
one. The club has issued map of the fishing
grounds of Tampa Bay and adjacent Gulf waters.
Sea turtles, weighing from 200 to 400 pounds
are still found along the coasts. These monster
turtles are caught by turning them on their
backs, then tying rope to each f1ipper and then
turning them over again. They can be driven
like horse. Their eggs were formerly gath
cred IN large numbers, but destructiveness of
nature given products seems to be tn. rule, and
wild things have either hisap-
peared or are fast being destroyed.

THREE-FOLD FUNCTION.

Surgeon General Ireland of the American
Army sees plenty need for the continuance of
Red Cross activities here and abroad In this
connection, while discussing the Red Cross mem
bership DRIVE, he paid the following tribute to
the organizations work in the war:
''The American Red Cross has performed a
three-fold function in the great war 1t has
been the invaluable ally of the MEDICAL Depart
ment in assisting it to care for the sick and
wounded, by supplying dressing and emergency
supplies, by operating hospitals in zones like the
district of Paris which were closed to the Medi-
cal Department for disqualification purposes. It
has been the great agency of rescue and support
to the unfortunate refugees who were driven
from their homes, by which it has endeared
itself to the French people. Finally, it has, by
its canteen service at the railroad stations and
its searchers for the wounded, been the cheer
ing, heartenlng and helpful agency for our trav-
el-worn and weary men, bringing comfort and
good cheer to them at times when they were in
need of the smile of sympathy and word of en-
enlargement.
OF all these functions and services. none can
now be given up or abandoned The Medical
Department will need the help of the Red Cross
until the last wounded man is safely returned to
his home. The in their billets and camps
will need more than ever, during the cold. cheer
less French winter, the comradeship and whole
some good fellowship of the Red Cross women
The searchers will be the agents of communica-
ton between the wounded and their families at
nome, now more than ever before The refugees
too must not be left cold and helpless until the
elements of the family have been united.
NOW therefore, is the time for closer and
more active functioning and a larger and more
jealous membership for the American Red Cross.

Profits on Flour Limited.

1t is the opinion of the United
States Food Administrator that the
gross maximum profit for whole
salers in flour should not exceed
from so to Is cents per barrel.
The profit to retail dealers in orig
inal mill packages should not ex-
coed from so cents to $l.20 per
barrel, depending upon the char
acter of service performed. Where
retailers sell in amounts less than
the original mill packages, the
gross profit should not exceed l

INDOOR BASEBALL IN FAVOR
English and French Soldiers Enter In

Baseball as played indoors during

but the large indoor ball is used and
the rules Of indoor baseball adhered
to. It seems an easier game as we'll

(By e. A. BATCHELOR.)

What is putting the pep into the
push toward Berlin which the Yanks
are giving Kaiser Bills bad Boches?
Athletics certainly are helping. How?
BY raising the morale and the muscle
of the American fighters. In one unit
and in one week, $685. soldiers partici-
pated in athletic sports. They had
S6,275 spectators meaning that for ev-
cry six soldier spectators there was
one soldier participant. Better record
than baseball or football has in the
y. S. A., ne c'eSt pas?
How did the sports rank in popu-
larity among the soldiers? Volley ball
came first. Baseball was second. Box
ing was on the limb. Track and field
sports were just out of the money.
Basketball was fifth. Indoor baseball,
soccer, rugby, tennis, etc, were in the
ruck.
Muscle and "Pep."
Athletics surely are putting muscle
and pep into the young men who
must hantle the rifles. artillery, gre
nades, spades, AMI other implements of

mor,.> generated by the tingling high
spirits and good health which blesses
the well-eXerciSed body.

VERY RARE RACE OCCURRENCE
Horses With Same Sire and Dam Re.

Seldom does American racing his
tory record the winning on the same
day of race horses which have the
same sire and dam, and it appears
such a rare occurrence that the scor-
ing of King Neptune and Sea Gull at
Havre de Grace recently is worthy of
notice. The first named is a five-year-
old gelding and the other a colt, both by
Sea King, out of Toots, and while only
the latter is owned by Doc Tyree, both
were at one time the ''apple of the
eye" of that well-known southern
sportsman. Indication Of their winning
efforts was shown in their previous
races, when each managed to get the
place in his respective race, with King
Neptune's in particular being notice

beaten by Celtic, which is a six-year
