TRANSPORTATION, THROUGH
" SERBIA VERY DIFFICULTY

Dedeagatch, Bulgaria, Feb. H.
The extreme difficulty Of transport
through Serbia, and the ruinous con-
dition Of the country's railways as a
result of wanton destruction wrought
by Bulgarians and Austrians in their
forced retreat, ia strillingly shown by
The fact that the American Red Cross,
in order to get relief supplies the
Nish section, has had to route its
shipments by rail east from Salon!ki
to Dedeagatch, then north to Adria-
nople, then west to Scla and finally
across the Bulgarian border to Prot
total distance of more than eight
hundred miles.
From Uskub to Belgrade, nearly
three hundred miles, the railroad at
points is wholly destroyed and dozens
Of bridges and tunnels are in ruins.
1t is estimated that the work OF re
construction will require more thar
3 year.

THE SOUTH FLORIDA
FAIR OPENS NEXT MONDAY

One week from today the great
South Florida fair will open It's doors
to the public. Unlike, the temple of
Janus, which closed it's doors In time
Of peace, the fair was closed during
war. In those awful days when our
sons and brothers were fighting the
Hun from Chateau Thierry and the
forest Of Argonne back to the Rhine,
there was no thought Of merry-mak-
ing or fair-going. All our strength
and energy was devoted to the grim
business Of war and to making the
world decent place to live In. We
we're facing the awful fact that II We
lost the war we would lose all. and
there would be no occasion for any
more fairs. Sackcloh and ashes would
be more appropriate under such con-
ditions. ts'.
But now. the cloud Of gloom that
hung over the country during those
awful two years has been lifted. and
the people breathe freely once more.
They are In the mood for rejoicing,
and they are accepting the general
invitation that has been sent out
through all the country. Tho people
OF South Florida will b here In
crowds. They Will come to meet each
other. to renew old acquaintances, tic
exchange notes on their accomplish
,ments, in the past two years. to en-
gage in . friendly rivalry. The tonr-
lists will be here in numbers. Tor they
realize the fair can tell them more
about Florida. It's possibilities and its
opportunities. than they could get in
an extended tour Of the state. Here
will be grouped the best Of its live
stock. its cattle and hogs and poultry
will be seen. And to those tndivid'
Il.
uals who have not made careful
study Of the wonderful opportunities
that Florida offers, the fair will be a
revelation. -'''T' '''
For those who wish TO indulge In
pure joliity and merry-making there
will be plenty Of opportunity. There
will be the usual carnival features
with all the latest novelties, bands 81
music. shows and fun. popcorn and
pink lemonade galore. Tampa throws

There is no enc thing that would
contribute more to the pleasure and

munity, can be used for. We have the

II is the day of the men who build
up--who go ahead. To preserve our
established commercial position we
must preserve sound and confident
pubic opinion. That is the kind of
doctrine that ought to be preached w
every home In the land. The country
has no more use for the professional
agitator. the demagogue, the cantins

Moves In Early,

Winter records we're broken here
this week when ice formed and snow
fell the third week in October. 1t was
2 below zero in Bear Valley and six
inches of snow fell. The excessive
cold was about six weeks ahead of
time. Tuesday the weather moder-
ated in Canyon and turned into a
warm rain. The zero weather brought
all of the weather prophets out of
their holes and some said it meant a
north pole winter while others said
that it was the beginning and end of
winter and that spring would arrive
in a few days. In the meantime all
of the prophets shivered as they chat
tered.-Canyon City Eagle.
