RESIGNS AS DIRECTOR OF
FLORIDA WAR SAVINGS
FLORIDA WAR SAVINGS
COMMITTEE
2O6 Federal Building

2O6 Federal Building
Jacksonville, Fla, April II, 1919.
In announcing his resignation as
Director of the Florida War Savings
Committee, Judge J. F. G. Griggs, ex-
tends thanks to every county chair
man, every district chairman. every
committeeman and every person who
in any way helped in the War Savings
Campaign during the period in which
he was Director.
He also calls on the people of the
State of Florida to make all profit pos
sible out of the seed of savings plant
ed during 1918 and assures them that
the Government will continue its edu-
cational campaign for having people
adopt permanent habits Of Thrift and
Savings.
Under the administration Of Judge
Griggs as Director, Florida made what
was considered by the National War
Savings Committee the best record
of any of the Southern States, with
the possible exception of Texas. There
were one or two states where the sales
per capita of War Savings Stamps
were larger, but where conditions
were SO much better and war profit
so much greater, that a comparison
based On actual per capita sales would
not be fair. Florida was ahead Of
Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and
Louisiana, and was but few cents
per capita behind North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Tennessee and Mississippi
Texas was far in the lead OF al

While the matter of State division
will not likely be given any serious
consideration at the hands of the Leg
islature. the fact that a bill providing
for such division is being prepared
would remind one that things more
improbable have happened. A line
drawn roughly from Fernandina to
Cedar Keys would make suggestive
division, leaving Nassau in North
Florida and Duval in South Florida.
There is such a difference in prod
ucts, interests and conditions gener-
ally in these two great sections of
Florida that a political division would
not be out of place, but would doubt
less reduce friction and enhance the
development Of both sections.

Things seem to be going from bad
to worse at the State Industrial
School. The new management seems
as inefficient as the old, and is ap-
parently bent on carrying out the
principle exemplified by those higher
up in the States administration of
putting every member of the family
on the States pay roll. Shall we have
to give 1t up, and say that the great
state of Florida is incapable of main
tanning a properly conducted institu-

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARkENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture vas to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at ally
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t. No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does IL so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
thru yoIr hair. taking one small
strand at .. time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

IT don't know whether they are

Moore of Morton county attempted to
arrest the man following a fight in the
little town of Rolla. .VanWormer shot
and killed the sheriff. The. case was
tried in Hamilton county and Van
Wormer was convicted. Pending an
appeal to the supreme court the de-
PENDANT was released under $4,000

case was announced in Topeka, Van

Four months ago Sheriff Kibler

KILLER wanted the money as we'll as

VS.. JUDGE
State Auditor Makes Charges
Against Court Official.
Says Nephew of Judge Stuart
q Drew Salary While Absent.

Charges that Judge w. 1. Stuart, of
Brown county. approved salary vouch-
ers of his court reporter for four years
while the reporter was in the State
university law school and in army
court today in brief filed by Fred w.
Knapp, state auditor. Knapp's brief
was filed In an action brought to COM
pei the state auditor to pay the SAL
airy of Paul B. Bailey, court reporter
in Judge Stuart's district
Bailey's salary voucher was held up
last summer by Knapp under the
claim that he was relative of the
district Judge. Under Knapp's inter-
probation of the law. Bailey was not
eligible for the job under the blood
and marriage law. Bailey is a nephew
of the district court Judge.
Out of Army Now.
Under the allegations of the state
official. Judge Stuart approved the
vouchers of Bailey for a period cover
ing the time he was in the law school
and in the army. Bailey is said to
have been mustered out of service last
June. Under the law it is necessary
for the district judge TO approve the
salary vouchers of the court reporter
Bailey was appointed by Judge Stuart
several years ago. The charge of Au-
ditor Knapp was made as a part of the
defense of his position on the salary
matter and in support of provisions of
the blood and marriage clause in the
state law.
we might say in passing" Knapp's
brief states, for the purpose of
throwing additional light upon the
question and to show the abuse that
does come about by reason of the en-
ployment of relatives, that the plain
tiff in this case (Bailey). while hold
ing the position of official court re-
porter for the Twenty-second judicial
district, and while drawing his salary
from the state of Kansas as such pub
lie officer. enrolled in the law school
of the State university at Lawrence,
and completed his law course there.
and that subsequently he entered the
United States army, and for these long
periods of time eabsented himself from
his official duties and yet accepted
and retained the salary of that office,
as provided by the statute.
Says It's IncOnceivable.
1T is hardly conceivable that the
judge of a district court. or any other
public officer, would permit such dere-
fiction of duty on behalf of one not
closely related to him and in whose
interests he was not vitality con-
cerned."
The Bailey case is on the supreme
court docket for this term and will
probably be submitted Thursday.

that the board disregard the wishes of
