That travelling man who sells Ger
tain kind of automobile who claims 70
have collided with bull sure knows
how to get some free publicity from
the newspapers and advertise his car.
He may have gone into the ditch all
right, but any person VINO knows a
Florida bull or COW or any other kind
Ct bull, knows that when they are hit
hard enough to throw them off the
road, they don't come back but If able,
they stick their tails straight up in the
air and take for the high timber. Those
who know the said travelling man can
understand how easy it was for him
to put that story across. He no doubt
killed a COW, but it wasn't because
the animal was charging the car and
wrecked the side Of the auto that il
was done he just couldn't get out Oh

AN IDEAL WAR
(st. Petersburg Times)


(St. Petersburg Times)
Old Boy Ludendorff,
Former assistant passenger agen
Of the German army
And the right arm of Hindy,
Of blessed memory,
Has, according to cable,
just made a speech before
Representatives of several
Branches of the old army.
He told them to prepare
For another war and to
Prepare for one very soon.
We don't like to butt in
On the old bird of paradise,
But we would ike to ask
One thing, and that is
That he will kindly refrain
From pulling off the next
War until after the fifteenth
Of this month, so that
There viii be no increase
In the income tax instalment
We must pay on that date.
Also, if he must have a war,
Let him get an airship
And go up $4,000 feet
And fight it out single-handed
With Eddie Rickenbacker.
That would save us all
A lot of trouble except Eddie,
And it wouldn't cause him much.

Central Florida seems waking up to
a determination to have its rights in

that tall column of counties from Polk

its political enemies in the hole next
year. Let the Central Florida coun-
ties hang together and they will ger

Toronto by w. Mclean, NJ. p, is of in

Mr. Mclean said that the $4,000 miles
If railways now owned by the govern
nent of Canada were in the way of be
ng a financial success and he believed
he portions of these lines now i'm the
United States, leading from the Cana
liam border to Chicago. TO Boston and
Portland. to Duluth. to St. John, y. b,
and other cities. ought to be taken over
by the United States as national rail
ways and consolidated with other Amer
can lines from Niagara river to New
York, and the Grand Trunk to Chicago
extended from Chicago to st. Paul and
on to the Manitoba boundary.
With these national trunk lines both
countries would develop the st Law
renee river navigation so as to let ocean
ships get up, to Chicago and Duluth. Ma
tional railways in Canada and the
United States should be the compile
ment of lake and ocean steamers and of
electric radials and motor trucks and
thus control all freights of the northern
continent.
