TOURIST SEASON TO BE
LONGER THAN FORMERLY

A. w. Triton, division passenger
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road has announced that railroads
entering Florida are to place on sale
daily round trip tickets from Oct. ! to
April 80, to Florida points. These
tourist tickets are good till April 30,
regardless Of the date Of sale.
As the date Of opening the tourist
ticket sale is earlier than usual, it
means that the tourist season will be
longer. In fact, it will be a seven
months season.
The tendency Of tourists is to come
earlier and stay later each year. It
is expected that this will be more
pronounced than formerly this win
ter. In fact, there are many north
ern people IN Florida now, and many
others will arrive even before the
date fixed for the sale OF tourist tick
cts.

TIMOTHY WAS

''The trouble with people in this
community is they ain't careful and
thoughtful Of other people, he says.
Now, if man wants his chickens to
have sorehead or his cattle to have
ticks or his children to have the
measles, that's a matter of personal
liberty as far as it goes, but that
ain't as far as it goes" he says. Ills
chickens will get out and spread the
disease and likewise the cows and
chickens, and the first thing you
know it's all over the neighborhood,
when by little care and keeping the
children from school and dipping the
cattle and keeping the chicken yard
in clean and sanitary condition. he
says, there wouldn't be any of this
trouble. Personal liberty is all right,
you understand. but the neighbors
have got some personal liberties and
If they don't want to have sorehead
and cattle ticks and measles, such
things had not ought to be thrust
down their throats by their careless
and lazy neighbors," he says.
I says, "You may be hitting at me
and you may not, and If you amt,
don't want to say anything to hurt
your feelings" l says, "but If you
are talking to me, I want to ask you
when you cleaned out your own
chicken yard" I says.
"That amt the question: he says.

That Florida can grow other crops
better and more proftably than corn
is doubtless true. Bue when it is a
question Of interesting farmers from
the north there is nothing else quite
SO eloquent as corn statistics. To the
northern farmer, corn is collectixe
noun, and synonym for many othrs.
1t means hogs. It means cattle and
horses. 1t signifies cream, and milk,
and cheese. 1t is the symbol of Karo
syrup and salad oil and certain
brands of breakfast foods. 1t is the
barometer by which the prosperity Of
community is measured. Give the
northern farmer a big enough corn
field and the world is his. Florida
can and does produce corn Of high
duality in rapidly increasing quantity.
Its possibilities in that direction are
unlimited. Prove to the settler that
II it's corn he wants, he can have it.
Let him think of citrus fruits and veg
etables as a sideline, if he prefers, he
Will be all the better pleasd in the
future when he finds that in addition
to his favorite crop he can cultivate
other things with still more profit.

SHRINE CLUB AND

Clarke Says 10000 Will Yawn to Deatr,
at Shriners.
ny MAC AND Doc.)


On the first Friday in September
large sums of money and other valu-
able property are likely TO change
hands when Noble Gus Eitzen's and
Bryan's Shrine club team will meet
Prophet Clarke's Grotto Leaden Sox.
Very little information could be
obtained from Prophet Clarke last
night beyond the fact that he consid :
cred it probable that Noble Eitzen's
team would be unable to prevent 3d.
900 spectators from yawning them
selves to death.
Gus Eitzen was even more reticent
but did admit that Dutch Wicke would
play second base. Noble Gus said he
considered the Grotto team was un-
wholesomely cox-sure and that pos
sibly the players were unaware that
Noble Charlie Hervey of baseball
fame was at present in Pensacola
singing hash at the San Carlos and
that Noble Charles would be one. of
the star Shrine pitchers. He added
that Noble r. e. L. McCaskill had
been employed to play center field on
horseback and would perform i. his
usual Jesse James style.
Noble Babe Ruth w. White will not
play on the Shrine team because of
his poor batting average, out Will De
made mascot.
Prophet Clarke also stated that
Lucky will not act on the publicity
committee, as has been the case IL
every stupendous undertaking in this
city in the last year, but that nc has
been promoted and on this occasion
will act as water boy.

DICKERMAN HEADS
HANDICAP BOARD
Men Who Have Been On the Commit
tee in Past Will Serve Again.
BY PETER p. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate.

Gos1or NSttonaI sports Syndicate.
The most thankless job we know of
excepting, Of course, that of being a
baseball umpire, is being a handica D.
per.
Handicappers are necessary evils in
some sports-for instance, golf track
and field athletics and trap-shooting
And. as usual thing, the Handicapped
is just about as popular as the base
ball umpire when he gets through with
his job. Having had a dozen years
experience in the handicapping of
trask and field athletes 1 know where
of I speak.
One of the toughest jobs we know
of is the handicapping of trapshooting
contestants. 1t is tough and doesn't
give the satisfaction that it should be-
cause the system in vogue is out of
date. Handicapping is pretty much of
science and requires no end of time
and attention. To beat this time and
attention business the trapshooting
fraternity select a number Of men to
do the handicapping in the big tourna-
ments who are supposed to know ell
the shooters.
For the handicapping and ciassifca-
ton committee on the Grand American
Handicap, which takes place in ~leve-
land beginning August %, the follow
ing have been chosen: H. E. Dicker-
man, Cleveland. chairman; Ben S.
Donnelly, New York; George v. MACK
lie, Lawrence. Kans.; Guy Dering, Col
umbus, Wis: Fred Plum, Atlantic
City; Sam Sharman, Salt Lake City,
and l. H. Andrews, Spartansburg, S.
c..
This will make Donnell's third time
as a member of the Grand American
committee; Mackie's fourth
and Behring'S fifth. These men are
supposed to know the capabilities of
the shooters from their various sec
tions and as some 1000 persons are
expected to shoot in the handicap and
events you know that
this committee had a good job cut out
for itself.
The committee usually announces it's
results about a week before the shoot
so as the shooters will have plenty of
time to tell them how many mistakes
they have made.

TRADE FALLS OFF
DUE TO PANIC

Toxic, Aug. 15.-The trade between
this country and the United States is
gradually becoming dull, due TO the
financial panic which makes cargo
movements inactive. Japanese ships,
plying between Japanese and Amer
lean. ports, are carrying very limited
cargoes on both inward and out
ward trips, especially the former.
The dull shipments on the home
ward trip of the ships is mainly due
to the cancellation of orders previous
ly contracted for by japanese I'M
porters who had to resort to cancella-
ton because of the financial depression
and tight money situation.

A great many people, especially la

publicity is more or less distasteful to
them.
