MINERALS in FLORIDA

Florida is not classed as minera.
State, yet it leads the Union by Is PEE.
cent. in phosphates and fuller's earth
with large exports Of ball clay for
pottery. The State is underlaid with
limestone, and coquina rock, formed
of fine shells. making an attractive
building material, ab0unds along the
East Coast, while coral keys or islands
fringes the south end. Coral rock is
still being formed, and, accordingly,
ours is the only State being increased
in landed area by the additions Of new
reefs and the enlargement of old ones
in the sea. Long ago shell fish were
busy and their stony coats, now found
in immense deposits in all parts Of the
State, are used for making roads, says
the State Marketing Bureau. An in
teresting book on this subject Is Cush-
ings age of the Shell Fish Men" in
which the formation of immense shell
heaps along the st. Johns and other
rivers of Florida is described. Per.
sons interested in the geology Of the
State should write to e. H. Sellards
State Geologist, Tallahassee, for very
interesting and valuable reports.

LIVE STOCK TO BE BIG FEATURE
HanafOurde Prophecies Some Fine
Exhibits at Tampa Fair
(By O. d. Wetherell.)
Tampa, Fla, Jan. 5, 1919.

Tampa, Fla, Jan. 8, 1919.
THE finest live stock exhibit ever
seen in the State is the forecast for
the South Florida Fair and Victory
Jubilee, of B. K. Hanafourde, fair
manager. Mr.. Hanafourde declared
today there is no question but that
past exhibits along these lines will be
surpassed. Swine will be especially
good he declared, "and some of the
entries will open the eyes of the fair
goers, and particularly men from the
middle western States, who will learn
great deal about Florida. The fair
will open Feb IL and close Feb. %.
"Other live stock departments will
be of a high standard. In poultry we
are assured of real quality exhibit
The South Florida fair will not en-
deavor to have an over-fowing ex-
hibit with many entries of mediocre
quality, but will set restrictions so
that only the finest birds are shown.
In that way the best to be found will
be exhibited and the competition will
be surprisingly keen. In S. d. Hard
away, of Orlando, superintendent Of
this department, the fair has an ex-
ceptionally good man"
Mr.. Hanafourde believes the exhib-
it's are the backbone of the fair and
that to be successful, the management.
must make every effort to secure dis
plays along horticultural, agricultural
and live stock lines that cannot be
surpassed in this territory While
racing, free amusements, carniva,
shows and the like are all Of great
Importance, the exhibits are the prin-
cipal part of the fair and deserve first
consideration, in Mr.. Hanafourde's
opinion.
Manatee county has signed up for
the same space as last year, Howard
Curry, field agent, having seen the of
fcials there as well as the Marion and
Polk county spokesman, and within
the next few weeks the county exhibit
space will be spoken for with but few
exceptions. Already the choice loca-
lions are being sought, not only by
. counties which will exhibit, but by
manufacturers and commercial inter-
ests. which will have displays in the
main building or machinery hall this
year,

WHOLESALERS CLAIM
THEY ARE MADE TO SELL
LOWER THAN FACTORIES
Hon. Braxton Beachanl,
State Food Administrator,

Hon. Braxton Beacham,
State Food Administrator,
Orlando, Fla.
Dear Sir: The wholesale firm OF
Markey-Brown & Co., food dealers
here, claim there is discrimination
against them inasmuch as while the
factories have been permitted to raise
their price on certain food commodi-
ties, thus making large increased prof
its thereon, the distributors must sell
their stocks at the old price.
AS case in poin they allege thai
they must sell condensed milk on
very small margin at $5.75 per case
which they cannot buy today for less
than Sc. As. They say they would have
no complaint to make If the factories
were put under the same rule.
Should be glad Of any information
you can give me. ..

The South Florida Press Associa-

the other day as favoring the suf-
frage amendment-som that 1t

claim lacks only one vote. There is

we were just as little prepared for

with the facility and expedition with
which it got into the field one of the

There has been some discussion in
the newspapers as to "re-establish-
ing the Democratic party in Florida"
and we know of no job that is more
badly needed. The Tampa Tribune
has suggested plan. working
through the state and county Demo
cratic Executive Committees, the
crux Of which will be the selection at
a State convention of two names to
go on the primary ballot for each
State Office to be voted for. While
there may be some Objectionable
features to the plan as outlined, any
effort to bring the Democratic party
out Of its present chaotic condition
should be encouraged. With two men
that a convention would endorse, the
people have some chance to get one
who is At for the Office he seeks; but
at present one man who can capitalize
the preiudices and Boishevikism Of
the State has the easiest kind OF {
job beating a half dozen fine, honor

conservative vote among them.

AWAITS AID FROM WILSON
Girl Hopes President VIII Help Her
Recover $4,000

Hopeful that President Wilson Will
aid her to recover her small fortune
little Edith Bender, nine years old, is
anxiously awaiting an answer to her
written request.
Each visit of the postman Is eagerly
awaited by the little crippled child at
her home, 1851 Brown street. Each
visit, she hopes, will be the one, in
which the President will show his in
terest in her case by a reply, promising
his help to secure the money lost through
Frank B. Ellis, who held it in trust for
her.
But the little crippled girls $4,000
is not the only money the man now be-
leved to be in Paris is accused of
stealing. Others have come forward
with similar claims, and if Ellis ever
does return to face the American courts
many actions will be brought against
him.
A relative of Ellis said yesterday that
he haG seen Ellis in Paris last July,
when Ellis was contemplating business
| trip to Russia. The relative claims he
loaned Ellis the money to leave this
country and 60 to Europe.

PASTOR PENSION FUND
ATTACKED IN WILL
Instrument of Harry L. Davis
Opposes Presbyterian Sus-
tentation Fund
MISSIONS MAY BENEFIT

An attack on what is known as the
sustentation fund of the Presbyterian
Church, by which ministers contribute
to their own pension fund, was made in
the will of Harry l.. Davis, 401 West
Walnut lane which was made public
today.
In his will, Mr.. Davis, who died
June 30, left Sis. 900 to his son, Henry
Lamont Davis, and his daughter, Flea
nor Cooke, wife of former Director Of
Public Works Morris J.. Cooke. If
they had no heirs one fourth of the
principal was to be divided between the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions
and the Presbyterian Board of Relief
for Aged and Disabled Ministers.
Later in Codicil Mrs. Davis
changed this last provision and Substi-
tutcd the Board of Home Missions for
the latter board saying:
II make this change because the
Presbyterian Board of Relief has passed
lulo tnP MINUS OF trustees. nv Ild %
jority are in favor of the scheme known
as sustentatiOn. by which il is pro
posed to pension all i'll ministers in tho
church who are willing and able to
pay 500. and because such plan is
incQutahlc and unjust to hrgc ma .
jority of the minister's of the church
who cannot. without additional hard
ship. pay for such insurance and con
tinuc such payment until seventy years
of age.
II think that our church is too much
of missionary church to be able and
willing to provide for even the small
proportion of minister's who have no
need of it. When the church is ready
to do so. it should have plan moro
/ Christian and more worthy.
The Rev Robert Hunter. secretary
| Of the Presbyterian Board Of Ministerial
| Relief and Sustentatlon. declared, when
this will was called to his attention:
"Ilis attitude is not new. We arc
used to that"

was willing, provided she pay the mu-

also several hundred dollars in back
taxes. This she failed to do.
The money was deposited in the Court
of Chancery Tuesday with the request
that it be distributed according to law.

her home last night. The city commits
