ESPECIAL D,ssArcH 70 4essrsa JOURNAL

Denver, Colo, Nov. 25.--otficers on
the trail of William L. Carlisle, Wy
oming train robber, attached special
significance to q letter received by a
local newspaper today The letter

The letter might have been mailed
at any station between Denver and
Cheyenne or Cheyenne and Julesburg.

The handwriting is the same as that
in a letter received Saturday and mall

left hand. , Its appearance indicated
he, started writing when the train was
at a standstill and completed while
the train was in motion. .
The. facts of the letter are impos-
sible, it was pointed out. He could
not have been, ON the Overland Linn
tied, because that train does not
leave Cheyenne for the west until
1918 o'clock at night. If the writer
was on a train he must have been on
his way to Cheyenne or travelling east
from Cheyenne, and in any case, he
could not have been at Kearney,

Rawlips.. WSo., Nov. 25,-William L.
Carlisle, train robber fugitive from the
Wyoming penitentiary. has held, up no
trains, since his escape according to
a letter purporting to come from Car
Isle received by Warden Brine here
today.
The letter was mailed in Denver at
6;30 D. M. November 20. The writer
says he has held up no trains since
he fled from the Rawlins prison, that
he is trying to reform, and asks for
chance to make good.
A careful comparison of the writing
and signature with those of Carlisle
on record at the penitentiary appears
to indicate that the letter is genuine.

CALL FROM GOV. CATS

Gov. Cats was in the city today. on
his way to Tallahassee from Tampa,
where he attended the South Florida
fair. He stopped her to visit the
girls school, in which he takes great
interest, and where he always re-
ceives a warm welcome.
On his way back to the hotel, the
governor stopped at the Star office
for few minutes talk. He highly
praised the girls school here, and said
that it was one of his ambitions to see
the boys school at Mariana attain
the same degree of efficiency. He said
he believed DIR. McClane was doing
good work there, and that he intend
ed to back him up in all the good that
he could do.
The governor praised the Star for
its recent write-up of the state farm,
the improvement of which pleases him
greatly. He said he thought Ocala
had a good chance to secure the new
state asylum. that will probably be
built next year.

"POM-POM"

Everybody who saw Pom Pom at
the Temple last night was well pleas
ed with the play.
There has been no play like Pom
Pom here, so there is not the memory
of any available for comparison. 1t
would take an unusually fine per-
formance to put it in the compara-
tive class with Pom Pom.
Miss Thayer, as Pom Pom, makes
such a smart and good-looking boy
that she had better apply to Congress
to change heU sex. Such an amend
ment would be easier to put thru than
the Susan B. Anthony act.
Miss Thayer was most cleverly
supported by the company, which is
entirely made up of competent per-
formers, including a number of pretty
and graceful young women. They did
excellent team work, and the perform
ance was finished as well as inter
esting one. Their superb acting was
supported by music from a frst-class
orchestra and special scenery. which
was most appropriate to the play.
The Temples next "road show" will
be Al Fields famous minstrels, who
will be here Saturday evening, March
1st

MARION COUNTY wOODMEN
HELD QUARTERLY MEETING

The Marion County WoOdmen As
sociation held its quarterly meeting
at Fellowship Wednesday evening,
and the meeting was well attended
from various parts Of the county. The
meeting was a most interesting one
from beginning to end. thanks to the
committee who had the affair in
charge.
About sixty members were in at
tepdance, and the camps represented
were Fairfield, Fellowship, Lowell,
MOntbrOOk, Ocaal and Sparr.
A resolution was passed requesting
the head camp to appoint a Florida

abundance of splendid chicken pillau,
pickles, coffee and cigars, and the
hour was late when the Ocala bunch
returned, so it goes without saying

DESoTO'S COMMISSIONERS
WANT NO DICTATOR
Refuse Governor Cats Order to Ap-
point Bond Trustees Thead
of Time

Arcadia, Feb. 19.@Gov. Cats was
in the city Monday and had before
him Commissioner Whitten of the
third district. 1t is the custom of the
county commissioners to name bond
trustees only when necessary by the
sale of bonds, and not until after the
sale is made, but in the Moore Haven
district certain interests demanded
that J. ]. O'Brien, c. B. Heard and J.
L. Taylor be named bond trustees as
soon as the district was formed Com
missioner Whitten advised that he
would take the names under consid-
Grafton, and later would recommend
to the board three names for bond
trustees.
A few days since Commissioner
Whitten received a letter from the
governor which stated that he must
be satisfied to have the three men
above named designated bond trustees
of the Moore Haven district, and to
meet him in Arcadia Sunday at p.
M. The commissioner was on hand
but the governor did not make his ap-
pearance until late in the evening.
Saturday the board of commission
ers adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, it has been called to the
attention of this board that Commits
sioner Whitten has been summoned to
appear before the governor in refer
ence to the appointment of bond trus-
tees for the Moore Haven special road
and bridge district, and,
Whereas, it has been the policy or
this board to appoint such trustees
after the sale of bonds. and there has
been no deviation in the Moore Haven
district; and,
Whereas, the duties of such trus-
tees, under the law, are only those
that formerly devolved upon the coun-
tt treasurer, viz: the handling of the
funds as treasurer, now therefore,
Be it resolved, that this board ap-
proves the action of Commissioner
Whitten in following the precedent
established by this board, and that,
when the bonds of said Moore Haven
district have been sold, a committee
of three citizens of the Moore Haven
district will be appointed to act as
bond trustees of said district, upon
the recommendation of the commits
sioner in whose district the above spe-
cial district is located. to be custodian
Of the funds of said district, as the
law provides.
Upon roll call, McRae voted vet,
Coker yes, Durrance yes, Whitehurst
yes, Whitten not voting.
A copy of the resolution was hand
ed to the governor Monday. Later
Commissioner Whitten came up from
Punta Gorda and met the governor In
the commissioners office. The con-
ference was held behind closed doors
and from rumors was somewhat
stormy. While the axe seems to be
suspended ready to fall upon the COM
missioners' neck if he will not do the
bidding Of the governor. there is no
announcement that it has yet fallen.
If it does fall it will hit a back
bone, Whitten's friends say.

GERMANY's GIBRALTAR
HelgOland, Now in Hapds of British,
Was Heavily Armed by
the Huns

London, Feb. 20-The naval CORES
pondent of the Daily Mail. writing of
the strong Notifications on the Island
of Helgoland, says:
"The summit of the island is one
immense bomb proof and the batteries
are so placed as to be invisible from
the sea. The heavy guns there-11-
inch and 12-inch weapons-probably
were reinforced during the war by
the 15-inch guns. The gAns are mount
ed in steel turrets of great thickness.
All the batteries and observation
posts are connected by subterranean
passages and the roads leading up to
them run along galleries which are
shell-proof.
"The guns are mounted after the
usual German fashion so as to give
them an immense range, probably
from 10 to 1914 sea miles. To enable
the island to stand tie concussion of
their discharge and resist fire direct
ed against it, 100000 pounds is said
to have been spent before 1910, and
subsequently other large sums were
allotted.
Inc immense Seaplane sheds are
said to have been of the disappearing
type, which could be lowered as a
protection against long range fire.
"There are store shops and repair
works with all the usual equipment of
a naval base. The Notifications pre-,
sumably will be blown up, but their
destruction will be no easy business.
They are of armored concrete and
steel, and very large quantity of ex-
plosives will be required.
'The Notifications to either en-
trance of the Kiel canal are of i'm
mense strength and are lavishly sup
Piled with the heaviest guns in steel
tUrrets."

BUSINESS RESUMED IN BERLIN
A TICKET FOR HOME

Some people say that stock gam
blers and racetrack followers used to
have custom of buying "ticket for
home" before putting all their money
on one plunge or before betting their
last cent on the races. Then if worst
came to worst they could at least get
home and make new start.
Before deciding to gamble on cot
ton acreage in 1919 Mr.. Farmer and
Mr. Business Man, hadn't you better
"buy ticket for home ?" Safety de-
mands that you protect yourselves and
your families by producing the food
for the South upon the farms of the
South as an insurance against a pos
sible loss on the cotton market. Buy
that ticket now. 1t is easy to do it.
Tie directions for getting that ticket
at special rate for farmers is as
fellows:
A Safe Farming Program
First. A home garden for every
farm family in the South to supply
the home needs for the maximum
number of days in the year, with a
sufficient surplus to be canned, stored
or dried for the future, including an
ample supply of Irish potatoes, also
sweet potatoes; wherever possible a
small patch of cane to produce home
syrup.
Second. The production of corn on
every farm sufficient to maintain the
family and live stock in ample food
and feed for a year.
Third. Produce the hay and for
age necessary to amply supply the
livestock on the farm for one year
with an excess for sake of safety.
Special attention should be paid to
summer legumes- beans, cow
peas, soy beans and peanuts, espec-
ially for feeding purposes.
Fourth. Produce the meat, eggs
and milk for every family on the
farm. This means the production of
hogs, cattle and poultry and the care
and keeping of good family cow or
two. Live stock is necessary to eat
up the otherwise waste products of
the farm and convert them into cash.
Fifth. If planting cotton, produce
it on moderate amount of acreage,
well prepared and tended to.
Sixth. Plan to meet all family and
farm expenses from the surplus pro-
duets of the farm outside the cotton
crop, and to have in the fall of 1919
a good supply of laying hens, at least
two milk cows for every family, hogs
III the lot to fill the family smoke
house, potatoes in the bank or store
house for winters use, canned or
dried vegetables and fruits and bar
rel of molasses for the family; a crib
of corn sufficient to last until the next
crop is made, with good storage ia
Ecilities for protecting same from
weevils, and ample hay and forage for
the live stock.
This is the farmers ticket for home
If every farmer in Marion county and
the South will buy one of these tick
cts, we are satisfied that he will not
gamble on an excessive acreage IN
cotton.
