hours today and accomplished MOTH

time will examine into the worth of
several legal opinions relative to the
rights of holding four fairs.

any one place definitely mentioned

New York. have drawn sharp editorial
retorts from the newspapers The
general tenor of opinion appears to
be that gambling conditions are no

be imported with visitors from states
recently gone dry.
Betting is allowed here on horse
racing, basque ball (known as "Jai

Co operation in Latin-America. The
Havana Post, an English language
newspaper, says: 1--WE would modestly
remind the inter-church world move
ment and DIR. Innnan that the president
of the United States long since enun-
ciated the supreme principle of self
determination, and if Cuba, which has
never found herself the worse for
liquor, insists on continuing her mod
crate indulgence of centuries-and we
would remind DIR. Inman that Ha-
wanna was a city long before any
American city was invented and does
tnot need instruction in the use OF
liquor or treatment of visitors within
her gates-and claims her right of
self determination, so far as drink
/ ing is concerned, she has proven her
right to be let alone. If her guest
from the north shall abuse her hos
pitaIity and try to drink in one day
the rum that g Cuban would spread

| but will not kick him out. She may
undertake his board and lodging for a
iweek or two until he has paid or
worked out his fine, but she will not

70 UTILIZE RESERVATIONS
(RY GEORGE. H. MANNINe3

Washington. D. c., Dec. 13.-Con-
gresham Smithwick is urging the u.
S. Forestry Service to establish a
United States Forestry Experimental
Station in the Choctawhatchee Reser-
Vation lying principally in West
Florida.
There has been considerable con-
tention over the disposition OF this
reservation in past political campaigns
in West Florida. In the campaign for
congress in 1916 Congressman Walter
Kehoe had a plank in his platform to
abolish the reservation. Later he in
troduced a bill in the House to carry
out the plan and open up the reserva
ton to homestead entry.
Congressman Smithwick told the
people in his campaign of 1918 that
in his opinion it would be very diff
cult to have the reservation thrown
open to homestead entry, but prom
ised that if the people insisted he
would make an effort to have it done.
Since his election. however, Mr.
Smithwick has been advised by great
number of persons that the people liv-
ing in the reservation have now
changed their opinions and do not now
want the reservation abolished. The
reservation was created by executive
order, it is now 1earned, and can be
abolished only by executive order, and
not by congressional action. Mr.
Smithwiek has made no effort to OBJ
tain an executive order abolishins
the reservation.
The II. S. Forestry Bureau now con-
templates establishing six or seven
forestry agricultural experimental sta
ttions at different points in the United
States and Mr.. Smithwick is trying tc
have one of them located within the
Choctawhatche reservation.
There will be an appropriation OF
about $4,000 for maintenance OF eacf
