SCOUT PLANES VISIT US
Engine Trouble Forced One to
Land

Scout Plane No. 1852 from Dorr
Field, navigated by Lieut.. W. H.
Harley, landed here about $50
Monday morning.
Spectators observing the plane
circling over the town at an unus-
ually low altitude, believed that
the aviator was having some
kind of trouble; and when
it became apparent that he was
seeking a landing place, this be-
lief was confirmed. He made a
successful landing in a vacant
field which is owned by DR.. Nc
Queen and is in the southern ex-
tension Of the town.
AT once there was a great hur-
rying and scurrying of people,
some on foot, some in cars and
some on bicycles, who rushed out
there to see the plane and also to
learn what the trouble was. This
was found to be some kind of en-
CINE trouble, which only machin-
list can explain. Fully hundred
people, men, women and children,
black and white, hustled out to
the field and made a careful ex-
animation of the plane, but. when
thew came back, none of them
could explain the trouble.
The lieutenant, however, work
ed on his engine till noon, when
he knocked off and went to the
Seminole hotel and got dinner.
Returning to the field, he worked
an hour or so longer, got things
in ship-shape and buzzed away
back to camp about 2:45 p. m.
Meantime, two other scout
planes passed overhead, one going
IN the direction of Sarasota, while
the other lowered over town for
short while, did few thrilling
stunts and then sailed away to-
wards the camps.

The sorrows, if not the horrors
! of the great war are coming home
TO some of the people Of Florida,

Friends in battle. The recent ter
rible battles in France have cost

men and others have been wound

counties, is mourning the loss of
more than one of her brave young
men The last to lose his life was

den, who fell in the great Franco
American drive in the Scissors
Rheims salient.

veloped by this drive, the follow
ing other noble boys from Florida
were killed: Lieut.. Frank B.
Marston, Pensacola; Corp. Homer

The whole state deeply sympa-
thizes with the bereayed parents
and other kindred Of these noble
young men, who have the consola-
ton of knowing that they died
gloriously, while fighting for their
country, in the most prodigious
in the history of the
world, which is being fought for
the grandest principles ever in

USE POTATOES IN
PLACE OF BREAD
Surplus Potato Crop In This
State Must Be Dis.
posed OF,

An intensive drive to put the potato
on every table at every meal in every
household in Washington is being
made by the Food Administration,
Commercial clubs. Women's clubs,
merchants and others. Because Of
greater requirements for wheat by the
Allies, 1t Is necessary that radical re-
duction be made in the use of wheat
flour, according to Charles Hebberd,
food administrator for Washington.
The food administration therefor is
urging the greater use of potatoes. a
large surplus of which exists In Wash
insson. It is imperative, according to
Food Administrator Charles Hebberd,
that the surplus potato crop be con-
stunned as soon az possible in this
state In order to prevent waste of this
valuable food product. The wide use
OF potatoes together with the removal
OF restrictions on the use of all meats,
other than pork, will permit of in
creased consumption of potatoes and
will effect an imperative saving OF
bread stuffs.
There are three million bushels Of
potatoes in the state with insufficient
cars at present to move them to other
markets. The state commissioners Of
agriculture estimates that 1t will re-
quire 5000 cars to move the present
crop.
Potatoes have been found to be
the best substitute for flour at the
least cost" says the food administra-
tor. Their wider use will not only
mean 3 greater saving of wheat but
will also prevent a valuable food prod
uct from going to waste. The ingeni-
Gus housewife will find innumerable
ways to place the potato on the table
at every meal of the day"
Hotels and restaurants of the state
are urged to serve potatoes in more
liberal portions and to patrons with
meat orders without charge
