Flax In the War.

With restoration of the industry on
a peace time basis cotton once again
goes ahead of linen in the worlds ia
vor. The exigencies Of the recent con-
flict raised flax to the position as
leader among fabrics, Il rank which it
had held for centuries but lost almost
simultaneously with the advent OF the
cotton gin. a
With realization Of the Importance
of cotton in the making of munitions,
there came a speedy reversion to linen
for the more commonplace usages--
waistcoats, sails for ships, even wings
for airplanes having lately consisted
of linen. But flax has reached the
end of it's days of monopoly. King
Cotton now rises to the fore in Ordi-
nary pursuits, and linen once again
becomes the aristocrat in this field of
supply. .e a a#.I3

Creating a Demand.

At the theater lady's hat 0bscured
a mans view. and he leaned forward
and respectfully asked if she would
remove it. A stiffening of the neck
was the only answer. After a few
minutes he repeated his request. Then
she turned te him. "There IL no de-
mand for my doing so,,H she said. mo
demand?" he echoed. Then he rolled
up his Overcoat and placed it on his
seat. sat on it, and put his hat on his
head. In q moment there were shouts
of "Take it Off" 'Take that hat Off"
And instantly the lady drew out her
hatpins and removed her hat. .a.-.

Fish Had False Teeth.

A fish wearing false teeth was
hooked in the Gulf Of Mexico, near In
dian Rocks, Fla by A. L. Anderson OF
independence, ....,@ig- 49,. s.3..
Judge Anderson was invited to go
out in Il boat with FL. H. Ingersoll, g
well known resident of Indian Rocks.
During the day they brought up a
specimen of the "swell toad' or burfish
variety.
AS the hook was pulled out it brought
with it a front plate with four false
teeth attached to gold bridge.
Later it was learned by the aston
ishcd fishermen that Il few days be-
fore Il visitor from Oltlsmar, a nearby
resort, had dropped his teeth while
bathing. g.--Kansas City Star.

Battle Of the Giants.

According to Brewers "Historic
Note Book neither the battle Of Wa
terloO nor the battle Of AusterlitZ was
known as the Battle of the Giants"
but the battle of Marignano was so
designated. This battle was fought
on September 1S, 1915, and during
which the allied French and Venetian
armies under Francois and d'Alviano
defeated the allied Italian and Swiss
armies. The carnage was very great,
as 1000 of the conquered and 1000
of the yictors were left dead and dy-
ing on the field. Trivulzio, who had
been present in IS pitched battles,
called them all childs play compared
with this combat of the giants"

SEEK GOLD IN THE ARCTIC
Adventures Are Now Prospecting the
Coasts Of. Baffin Bay and
Davis Strait.

One of the really pathetic stories OF
modern history is the mutiny of Henry
Hudson's crew when he was exploring
the arctic waters of North America,
and his abandonment, with his son, in
that vast inland sea that bears his
name, writer in the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks. Many lives have been Sacri-
feed in the quest of the North and
South poles. Sir John Franklin'S and
the Jeannette's parties in the north
and the recent Scott expedition at the
south only need be mentioned.
Plans are afOot to open up the Baflin
bay region TO commerce. For many
years small steamers have been max
ing summer visits to Hudson bay to
trade with the natives. and the Cana
dian government is building a railway
to one of its ports. Railroad and COM
mercial development of Alaska by
American enterprise has caused pros
pecting of the mineral resources OF
the coasts of Baffin bay and Davis
strait, with the result of finding, at the
former place gold in sufficient tAlanti-
ties to Justify development, and coal
of excellent quality along the latter
The latitude is about the same as that
of the Yukon region and only a few
degrees north of that Of Nome, which
has developed into a large community.
Sos impelling is the lure of gold that
the hardshipS of an arctic climate will
not deter adventures from haZarding
their lives against the wealth said to
be buried under the eternal snow and
ice of Baffin island.

Question fer Debate.

Judging by union standards, the
good lady in Proverbs, belauded as
she has been for centuries, set a
most questionable example. Her
price might be above rubies, but
what business had she to "rise up
early in the morning. before it was
vet light" and continue all day her
Industrial pace-setting? 1t couldn't
have been good for her husband either,
for all We hear of his activity is that
he praised her" and that he "sat in
the gates"-whch latter l take to be
the Biblical equivalent of sitting on
the porch of Il country store with his
feet on the rail, taking all her labor
for granted.-Exchange.

Swore by Their Whiskers.

II the beard has any standing in the
world today, it is undoubtedly be-
cause of the Jews, who held their
whiskers to be sacred, and swore by
them. Later, the Turks did the same.
The sultan's followers used to comb
their whiskers after prayers, catch
the hairs that came out, break them
in two and bury them, on the theory
that In some mysterious way the hairs
helped to, make soft walking to the
gates of paradise. This the Turks
firmly believed. And they were great

Winter Haven Lady Placed
Flag on Victory Loan Tank


Mrs. Louise Mckay, of Winter Ha-
ven, was a visitor to Lakeland yester
day afternoon, and called at thix of
flee to impart the news that to her
fell the honor Of placing two Amer
lean flags upon the tank when It Wis,
tied Winter Haven. Referring to
the matter, Mrs. Mckay said. II
am a very patriotic woman never
does a day pass hut renew my al
legiance to my flag. Therefore when
the tank came to Winter Haven. |
wrapped two flags in paper. and
went down town. hoping to have the
opportunity of placing them upon it.
! was first told that the tank had
left Winter Haven, and was returning
home, when / noted crowd further
down the street and upon inquiry
!. found it to be the tank. I fairly
ran to get there in time, and when
reached there I asked the young man,
why is there no American flag upon
this tank?" He said he didn't know
why--he was never given one, and
then asked him if he would accept
one. He thanked me and said he
certainly would, whereupon I told
him Here is my heart, my hand ant
two beautiful flags and he proudly
placed them upon the tank and drove
back through the park in order that
the crowds might see the American
flags flying from the tank--the only
one believe in Florida to Rave a
flag"

Desired Roads

So much protest has been aroused
over various features OF the PROPOSE
ton looking to the construction OF
certain roads in this portion Of the
county that those who have been
most identified with the project have
declared their inability to proceed
further, and have called upon the
Chamber of Commerce to take hold OF
the matter, and, if possible, to
straighten out the tangles, harmonic
the antagonisms and secure the de
sired improvements.
The Chamber of Commerce is there
ffore already engaged in an attempt
to work out plan that will be fair
and equitable to all. and that will not
be fought by other portions Of the
county, eliminating the features
which have been most Objectionable,
and attempting to present reasons

land the roads that are so desirable
for her without any injustice TO any
other section. The organization
realizes that it has a delicate task
III this undertaking, and that It can
accomplish it only by the harmonious
cooperation OF all the local elements;
and it accepted the mission only with
the positive assurance that it would
have the support, in this matter at
least of those who for reasons of
their own usually oppose whatever it
undertakes If the men who have
consented to give their services un-
selfishly, to this arduous and more or
less thankless task have to combat
opposition at home, they will OF
course, have to drop the matter and
all chance for getting these roads is
lost, for the next two years at least
| AT a full meeting of the Board o.
Governors yesterday afternoon the
matter was thoroughly gone into with
Col. Edwin Spencer, attorney for the
Board of County Commissioners. and
,it was agreed that there was no hope
of getting the project through in its
present shape. The result of the con.
ference was that Col. Spencer wire(
