crease High Cost Of Running for
Office; 1t Is Planned to Borrow
Money from the General Printing
Fund.

uorh Felkel in St. Augustine Record.
Purposely or otherwise, the regular
correspondents at Tallahassee have
failed to give the people of the State
one of the biggest news sensations of
file day from a political point of
view. No money was appropriated
nv the last Legislature for primary.
The writer has carefully examined
tbe general and special appropriation
acts of the special session of 1918
and of the regular session of 1919.
and he finds to his horror that no
money was set aside for this very
worthy cause. When the primary
was first brought into being in this
State by an act of it's Legislature
100000 was set apart for this lauda-
HE object. This was the nest egg.
The amounts derived from assessing
the candidates and bi-annual appro-
priations by the Legislature together
with that original appropriation
have kept the primary going up to
this time. But now the main sum
has been practically exhausted and
the assessments of dhe candidates
alone will not pay the bill unless the
fees are so increased as to make the
high, cost of running for Office virtu-
ally prohibitive or unless money for
holding the primary can be borrowed
from some other State fund.
knowing these conditions to exist,
the writer, who has inflicted his
presence upon every session of the
Florida Legislature since 1909, wrote
a letter to Secretary of State H. Clay
Crawford, whose Office is closely af

that the candidates pay their fees,
swear to their campaign expenses
and watch the official tabulation of
their votes. We asked Mr.. Crawford
how much money there is in the
treasury to conduct primary with,
how much a primary election usually
costs and what appropriation was
made at the last session for this pur-
pose.
The reply Of the Secretary of State
is as follows:
Replying to your inquiry, will
state that the last Legislature made
no appropriation, but there remains
balance of the appropriation made
in 1915 which, with some assistance

SALVATION ARMY PAIR
WILL SPEND THEIR
HONEYMOON IN INDIA
lRy Associated Press.i

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 7.-(SpeciaD
Weaving an international court
ship, the threads of romance that
spun through Australia, Japan, Eng
land, France and Scotland today had
rounded out spool of destiny in Att
lanta with the announced engage
ment of Miss Etna Dodd, IS, Salvation
Army lassie, and Lieut. William No
BILE, "a, late Of the medical corps
United States army.
With the departure Of the couple
to New York, where they will enter
separate Salvation Army training
schools, the news of their unusual
courtship and the eliminating ro-
nance leaked out among personal
friends In Atlanta, where they are
popular and well-known.
Their marriage will follow compile
ton Of the training school course,
when they will be assigned to Bonn
bay, India, where they will spend
their honeymoon and establish Sal
walton Army mission in the far coun-
try.
This is the pact the pair formed in
Atlanta upon Lieutenant Mobiles re.
turn from overseas andsMiss Dodds
previous arrival from Australia and
Japan. Lieutenant Noble, whose
home is in Covington, KY, is a grad
uate Of the Atlanta Medical College.
They met in Atlanta when Miss
Dodd's father, Major Horace Dodd,
was Salvation Army officer in this
city, and her husband-to-bc was a
medical student. Later she went TO
Australia and travelled in the orient,
keeping up correspondence with the
lieutenant in Atlanta. When he was
called to war, visiting in the mean
time his former home in Scotland,
their correspondence was interrupted
only at intervals through the vicis-
STUDIES OF war.
Before they plighted their troth,
Lieutenant Noble had given his alleg-
lance to the Salvation Army. And
then came the plans for their future.
What a beautiful place for a
honeymoon is the strange land of In
dia,' suggested the bride-to-be in
romantic moment. "The land of the
tribesmen, Bengal tigers, cougars and
Demonstrators.
The lieutenant shuddered, but lis
tened to rhapsody of the silvery
sheen of midas moons, the pictur-
esquesness of trysting spots and ro-
mantle legends of the Bombay coun-
and he fall for it.
Both will enter the Salvation Army
training schools in New York on
September II. In the meantime they
are honor guests of a series of Sal
walton Army social affairs in the
great metropolis.

MUCH GERMAN WAR
MATERIAL GOING T oWAsrE

With the American Forces in Ger.
many, Sept. 1S-How to dispose of
war material worth many millions of
marks is a problem confronting Ger.
man military authorities. Press re-
ports from various parts of Germany
indicate that great masses of guns
ana other war material are rusting on
old drill grounds or are being sold for
junk.
Illustrated papers recently pub.
llshed a photograph of an enormous
stack of shell damaged cannon which
were to be broken up in Westphalia
for the metal. Newspapers say that
on the old artillery drill ground at
Oldenburg there are more than 1000
wagons and guns in various stages of
wreck, awaiting purchasers. Some of
the editors have been demanding that
something be done at once to get old
baggage wagons and other former
war vehicles into the hands of the
farmers who are much in need of
wagons.
Article 1863 of the Peace Treaty
states that within two months Of the
coming into force of the present
treaty German arms, munitions and
war material, including anti-aircraft
material, existing in Germany in ex.
cess of quantities allowed, must be
surrendered to the governments of
the principal Allied and associated
powers, to be destroyed or rendered
useless"
German newspapers say that vast
stocks of wagons, field ranges and
guns and other material are stored at
military posts throughout the country
and that the German officials are
making no effort to dispose of them

Its members and since the United
States will have a representative In
the Council our interest will be pro-
tected there. We hear 1t said that the
League is formed for the benefit of
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nation. This Is not true. All the
nations will gain by it, not only the
great nations such as the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed by
their big neighbors. The international
court will give an opportunity for the
settlement of old grievances which
have long troubled the peoples Of the

through the Covenant the Monroe Doc
