Man Chases Burglar
In Scant Attire

The feat of Lady Godiva who rode
naked through the town. came very
near being repeated in ST. Petersburg
by one of its male citizens while
under a state of excitement.
The story goes:
Bob Ashley, well known local young
man. startled pedestrians on Eight
street north, in the residential dis
trict at noon Friday when he appeared
on the street in scanty attire in an
attempt to capture a negro burglar
who had ransacked the house. Ash
ley disrobed to enjoy "a nap on his
sleeping porch and was dozing when
he heard the jingling of coins in the
room. Drawing a curtain he saw a
negro going through the pockets of his
trousers. Ashley obtained pistol
from under his pillow, leveled it at
the negro's back and told him not to
move. The negro bolted and Ashley
fired, apparently hitting the marau-
der, as he fell. The negro rose to his
feet and Ashley ran down stairs to the
landing in time to fire second shot.
This also seemed to have struck the
man as he fell through the screen
door. He arose, however. and holding
his hands apparently over bullet
wound, fed. Ashley forgetting that
he had on virtually no clothing. set
out in pursuit, and ran nearly two
blocks before ordinations of femin-
inc pedestrians caused him to realize
his predicament. He gave up the
pursuit and the negro escaped.

BLAIR VILLA GROVE SOLD


Blair Villa, five acre grove at
Woodmar, on the eastern banks of
beautiful Lake Weir, one of the yerv
prettiest on the Lake, has recently
been sold. This property was for.
merly owned by Mr. d. S. Woodrow
and there used to be on it a nice
home, that was burned a couple of
years ago. The new owner is DR..
Robert Biddle, wealthy and yery
prominent physician of Philadelphia.
Dr. Biddle and his son, Mr.. Robert
Biddle, Jr., have spent several sea
sons around the Lake hunting. They
became, so much in love with this
beautiful grove, which ,has resulted in
the property becoming theirs. 1t is
the intention of DR.. Biddle to start
very soon the erection of modern
and very up to date bungalow and he
and his son will spend the greater
part of their winters on the Lake.

principle or ideal cannot Withstand
the attack of evil forces.
Alexander strode out to build an
eastern empire. He was animated by
the spirit of conquest. Hannibal,
Caesar, Napoleon, Wilhelm sought TO
spread the works of their hands over
the face of the earth. Love of power
was the driving force. The power of
love they knew nothing of. They
cared only for the majesty of au-
thority and nothing for the majesty
Of service. They neither loved their
fellows nor sought to serve them.
Their works failed. The fury of their
onslaught availed nothing.
A simple, thoughtful man, born of
the peasantry in the City of Bethle-
hem, walked up and down the fields
of Palestine, teaching, playing, help
ing and loving. The founder of the
Christian religion, he who has human
race than any other man, set out
with spirit of conquest and was
driven by no love of power. He loved
men for their hopes and aspirations
and ideals. He taught them how to
make their behavior measure up to
those deals. He founded an empire
of love and service which stretches
over the stronger today than
ever before.
Alexander and Jesus, Napoleon and
lit is the difference between the
love Of power and the power of love.

WORLD PROSPERITY

There seems to be general agree
ment among men best qualified to
speak on the SUBJECT that an era of
unexampled prosperity is at hand. In
the opinion Of Samuel valclaim. pres
ident of the Baldwin Locomotive Co.,
we may look for a revival of business
activity on large scale not later
than the end Of November in this
year. Less precise as to date, but
equally cheering. is Judge Ebert II.
Gary's declaration to friends in the
steel industry that. unless ,grevious
mistakes be made, prosperity is not
far distant, says the Dearborn Inde-
pendent. Judge Lovett, basing his
expectation on conditions in the rail
way world, is convinced that a dis
tinct revival of prosperity be
made evident.
All these representations of a
nodawning era of prosperity are based
on an appreciation of the enormous
natural resources of the country and
a more active explanation of these re-
sources as soon as world economic
conditions become stabilized.
1t is difficult to see how any one
who even family realizes the magni
tude of our natural resources, the ex.
tent and fertility Of our agricultural
lands. the petroleum wells within our
own borders whose output turns into
the billions of dollars annually, our

LIBERTY BONDS AN ADvANTA-
GEOUS BUY

THE foundation for making Amer
lea thrifty nation was laid during
the first Liberty Loan campaign when
for the first time in the history Of
this nation people were taught the
lesson of saving their dollars" said
an authority on financial questions
recently, some short-sighted people
have disregarded this lesson and dis
posed of their bonds during the period
of market recessions.
The fact that the market price OF
Liberty bonds has deprecated along
with the securities OF other govern
ments and corporations has abso-
lutely nothing to do with their in
trinsic value. AS matter of fact,
Liberty bonds are exactly as good
today as they were on the day the
government sold them The mere
fact that more opportune time to
buy them because they yield larger
return
The causes of present prices of Lib
erty bonds are numerous An out
standing fact is, that the call for
money to carry on manufacturing
and industrial activities has lcom-
PEELED many large holders of Liberty
bonds to sell them Many employers
finding it necessary to obtain large
amounts of cash to carry on busi-
ness, buy raw materials, pay wages,
ETC., have chosen to sell their Liberty
bonds because, being the best securi-
ties in their possession, relatively
| speaking they had depreciat-
ed the least in market value. Such of,
course, while regretable, no doubt has
prevented the shutdown of many
factories. These and other factors
created situation where there were
more persons desiring to sell their
bonds than there were people wanting
to buy them.
The government is of course. not re-
sponsibie for the low prices Of Liberty
bonds. 1t is simply case where John
Jones sells his bonds TO Jim Smith
through the machinery Of the market,
for less than he paid for them, the
government having no part in the
transaction.
In the open market the loss Of one
person may be the opportunity OF
another. BY retaining his bonds and
by buying more at present prices the
investor is therefore benefited. as by
so doing he averages down the cost OF
his bonds and increases the yield.
These bonds. while deprecated in
market value, are backed by the en-
tire strength and resources of the
nation. The government has made
definite contract to pay interest
at Regular stated periods and to pay
the face value when the bonds ma
ture
| Il is generally believed that in
five years or perhaps sooner we will
have stabilized our present economic
conditions SO that Liberty bonds
will regain their 100 per cent value
in the market While we may differ
as to time. we are unanimous with
respect to the ultimate outcome. 1t is
therefore incumbent on all of us to
hold on to our Liberty bonds and
to avail ourselves Of present market
conditions 70 purchase more bonds
at present advantageous priccs.-The
