POLICE ANNOUNCE
RECORD FOR YEAR
Great Decrease Shown in the
Number of Arrests Made,
Due to Dry Laws.

Arrests numbering 1904 made by
police department in 1917 the last
wet year in Indiana, as compared
with I69 recorded in 1919 portrays
the decline and fall of John Bar
leycorn in South Bend since the es-
Enlistment Of state and later ma
tional prohibition. Four hundred
and ninety-two arrests We're made
on the same charge in 1918 with
the state dry but before national
prohibition had gone into effect.
These figures were made public in
the report of the police department
issued Wednesday.
Eighty-nine arrests were made on
charges of violation of the pro-
hiDition laws during the year The
total arrests recorded by the de-
partment numbered 1856 as COM
pared with 2441 in 1918.
Comparison of Arrests.
The usual holiday revelries did
not bring the arrests for drunkness
during December up to the figures of
be supposed. The figures show that
only II arrests were made during
the past month while % were re-
corded in September and pa in May.
The decrease in arrests for the
past year as compared with 1913
is attributed by the department to
prohibition and the passing of the
CONSUMPTION law under which many
arrests were made during the past
two years.
Traffic Officers.
The attention Of the department
has been occupied the education OF
vehicle drivers and pedestrians in
a public safety campaign, additional
traffic officers having been stationed
at intersections formerly lacking
such protection. a campaign of
strict enforcement of the law pro-
hibiting parking in safety zones and
other traffic rules has been waged
during the past six months with
marked results according TO the re-
port
Add Five Men.
With an addition Of five men on
June %. 1919. by the Common
Council the personnel Of the depart
ment was increased to 20 men and
an increase in wages of approxi-
mately 20 percent granted the de-
partment. The Board OF Public
Safety made appointments OF nine
members to the department during
the year and held eight trials on
charges preferred against officers.

DON'T SELL BONDS.

The Washington Post a few days
ago printed the following editorial
which will interest all owners of Unit
ed States Bonds:
The market price for Liberty Bonds
is quite low. Evidently many owners
of bonds are selling these securities.
If they are not compelled by dire me-
cessity to let go their holdings. they
are foolish to sell, for the bonds are
worth 100 cents on the dollar and will
bring that if they are held. In addi-
ton, they yield interest at a fair rate,
and no pledge on earth is more sure
If the United States lives, the bonds
will be paid in full, interest and prin-
cipal OF what other security in the
world can this be said with equal as
surance?
A decrease in market price is often
misunderstood by holders of bonds
who are not familiar with financial
matters. They take alarm and feel
that they must sell their bonds "be-
fore they go lower in price," This is
false reasoning, and if adopted it
causes unnecessary loss to individuals
who cannot afford to lose even one
dollar.
All that is necessary is to hold all
bonds. The market price is partly
manipulation and partly a result of
excessive selling by persons who may
be ignorant or too hard pressed. But
the market price need have nothing
to do with any bond holder. He is
not concerned with the depth of a
railroad cut if he is on a stout bridge,
his only concern being the journey
across the bridge. Similarly the only
concern of a bond-holder is to collect
the coupons and the bond in full when
due. The price might sag to nothing.
but that means nothing If the owner
does not sell. The United States is a
strong bridge that will carry the bond
across to maturity, exactly on the
level and without regard to the depth
of the chasm that Is crossed.

OUR BACK COUNTRY.

In spite of the efforts Of the Coun-
try Gentleman and other publicans to
ldiscredit Florida, this state is fast TAX
ing it's proper place in agriculture, and
one has only to look back upon the
years just recently past, to realize the
wonderful strides that are being made.
A notice in one of the Miami papers
recently called attention to the fact
that that city had already shipped S.
100000 worth of tomatoes to the north,
in spite or the fact that this has been
an off season." owing to the killing
frost and heavy rains.
Twenty-four years ago when the
great freeze OF 1895 occurred the cry
went up that Florida was ruined. 1t
had lost a citrus, crop worth $4,000. 900.
Think OF that. against thee$ .000, 900
crop OF tomatoes from one Florida city
in an off year!
In 1895 the citrus fruit crop in Flor
ida was worth 100000. The poul
try of the state alone, is now worth
more than twice that sum. The value
of general farm products in 1918 was
$28,000,000 against citrus fruit $16,500.-
900. vegetables s15.000,000 and dairying
$3,500.000. This did not take into ac-
count the great staple products of
Florida, represented by her lumber,
naval stores, cotton, phos phate, tobac-
co, fisheries, sponge industry, cigar
manufactures, and last but not least,
the great tourist business Of Florida.
A few years ago it was not thought
possible to raise corn successfully in
the state of Florida, yet there are
today counties in the state that have
under cultivation hundreds Of thou
sands Of acres. The yield of corn for
1918 was 100000 bushels.
The money value of the swine in
dustry in Florida has increased from
three and one half million in 1914 to
$40.o00.000 at the present time.
Florida is fast becoming an agricul-
tural state and Escambia is the ban
ner agricultural county of the state.
In agricultural development a vein of
wealth is at hand; it lies with the peo-
pie of Escambia whether or not they
tap that vein and get from it all that
1T is worth or whether they get the
samples, such as Escambia has al
ready produced, and then let the land
lie fallow. boasting of its possibilities.
The Irish potato crop of Florida,
alone, is worth millions, and this Sec
ton carried off first premium for Irish
for corn. These two crops are among
the most valuable in Florida.
1t is up to us. We can go blindly
on, declaring that Pensacola has no
back country, Or we can develop that
back country, and coin the wealth that
lies at our door, waiting to be utilized. |
