 Of all the men on the team only eight mentioned above are practically certain of their berths. They are Walker. Perdue, Torkelson, DeBerry, Knaupp Fielder Bradley and Neusel.
 Dobbs is worried over his pitchers. He says he cannot depend upon Torkel- son and Perdue with the spitters barred. and is seeking two more pitch CTS. He has promises from Iris Speaker that Tom Phillips ma be left behind here, but this is not sure.

 Buddy Rezza and Ripperton have tried for short. but neither seems to please Dobbs. He is trying to induce Speaker to leave Grabfelder here, but without success, and has turned his attention to the Giants and Boston Red Sox.

LIGHT HOLDS UP
HIS LITTLE LANTERN

Editor Star: Please let the tax
payers ef this county see the follow
ing facts and figures:
In 1916 the state and county mill
age. excenting sub-sehool and road
districts, was rs mills. In 1920 the
millage IS AZ mills for state and coun-
ty, an increase of 16 mills, or an in
crease of SO per cent in four years.
The assessed valuation in the four
years in the county has increased
about II per cent. making a total
increase of taxes of about 72 per
cent.
IN 1916 the cost per head of the
national government was about $40;
the cost last year was about s51 per
head, an increase. of 500 per cent.
A letter from the state railroad
commission saws the freight rates
on oranges from Orlando to New
York IN carload lots in 1915 was 81
cents per box. 1t is now $1.02 per
box On vegetables, the rate was A
cents per box and is now "a cents.
This means an increase of about 20
per cent on fruit and vegetable ship
ments, and if our fruit and vegetable
| shipments are as large as last year,
lie will mean an additional cost of
about So, ,O00. 900 per year on these
two crops and on all railroad earn
ings it will mean an additional cost
| of about $20,0O0.O00 a year more for
the state Of Florida.
