tional bankers. Their economic inter-
ests compel them to be hypocrites and
decelve-s. In no other way can they
control the government to protect their
own lnterests-which always means to
destroy the interests of the common
people.
Suppose. for example, that the Nor
gan group had been honest and had
plainly said to American people: I'VE
have billions(of dollars at stake in
English and French bonds. If let
alone Germany will crush the allies,
and we will lose on our investment in
English and French bonds. The Amer
lean people must go into the world
war and whip Germany to protect our
interest in English and French bonds
otherwise, the house of Morgan will
lose hundreds Of millions of dollars. +"
With an honest declaration of pur-
poses like this, do you suppose that the
American people would have tolerated
the drafting and sending of our boys
overseas to keep Morgan's gang from
losing On their bonds?
The house of Morgan knew that the
American people would not respond
to cold-blooded, but truthful, state
ment of the situation. They. therefore,
carefully concealed their motives be-
lind a mask of falsehoods and APP
pealed to the patriotism of our peo-
pie. 1t was our patriotic duty" to
whip the Kaiser and make the world
safe for democracy" And the mass
of the common-people swallowed that
lie and into the war we went at cost
of loss of life of tens Of thousands of
our boys, greater loss among those
gassed,, she'll shocked and wounded,
and money cost Of $30,000.000,0O0-
a sum beyond the ability of the best
mathematician to comprehend.
Be not deceived. Never trust the
word of International bankers. When
their business interests are at /stake
they NEVER tell the truth-for they
cannot tell the truth and keep control
of government.
Knowing what | do Of the class
struggle and the strictly class interests
that control International bankers, |
am within the truth when say that if
the Morgan group had owned German
bonds instead of English and French
bonds and if the tide of war had been
against Germany, then to have saved
Morgan's bonds we would have been
forced into the war on the side of Ger
many as an ally of Germany, and
every lie that was told about Germany
would have been told about the Eng
fish and French.
Honor is an unknown element in all
international bankers. Never trust
their word in anything.
Get this fact into your head-you
who are the common people = that
YOU have no foreign interests" to
protect" YOU own nothing under
other fags-and most of you own mo-
thing under the American flag. The

ABSTRACT OF
THE UNITED STATES
Shows that Higher Temperature Pre-
walls North than i'm Florida
During Summer

Florida as a summer resort for the
nation is beginning to attract more
and more attention every year. The
old idea that Florida summers are un-
bearable is being rapidly dispelled.
The Palatka chamber of commerce has
just furnished the Marion County
Board of Trade with most interesting
data with reference to the summer
weather in the United States. Says
the Palatka chamber:
"The Statistical Abstract of the
United States published by the de-
partment of commerce, shows that the
UnitedStates government maintains
sixty-nine weather bureaus in forty
states whereat higher temperatures
are recorded in twenty-six states than
in Florida, and that twenty of these
twenty-six states are situated in the
northern half of the United States;
two of ten stations having had max
imum temperature lower than 100 de-
grees are situated in Florida, and only
one of the remaining fifty-nine sta
tions with maximum temperature in
it's history, higher than 100 degrees is
located in Florida"

PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION
FOR COLORED PUPILS
(Associated Press)

Daytona, Feb. 1.-The Daytona
Normal and Industrial School for ne
gro girls now has 317 students enroll
ed and has been forced to refuse 200
others who have applied for entrance
because of lack of room, according to
officials of the institution. The school
possesses hospital, sugar mill, park
and farm.
Citizens of Daytona who recently
paid formal visit to the school were
addressed by Bishop John A. Hurst,
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church, and were entertained with an
elaborate program prepared by the
students, concluding with supper
served by the domestic science class.
Virtually everything on the tables
was produced on the school farm.

FooLPROoF JEwELRY

Belleair, Feb. "A guest at the
Belleview hotel here recently told the
clerk at the desk she wished to deposit
her jewelry in the safe. An hour
later she brought down the package
with her name and home address upon
it. Finding the clerk busy, she laid
the package down in front of him
without noticing it was not the same
clerk she had spoken to before. When
he was disengaged, he picked up the
package and seeing a Buffalo, N. Y,
address on the package, put eight
cents in stamps upon it and mailed it.
Upon its arrival in Buffalo no one an
swering the bell, the postman left the
package on the porch. Three days
later it was found, and returned to
Belleair, the finder knowing the lady
had gone there. Upon its arrival at
the hotel it was placed in her box
with her other mail. Her. astonish-
ment may be imagined when she open
ed it and found some 0,0O0 worth
of jewelry intact

LEGION MEETING

The legion meeting of Wednesday
night, Feb. 1st, was another one full
of pep and argument. You buddies
who are missing these meetings are
not getting the benefit of your men,
bership in the legion. Some very i'm
portant measures were brought be-
fore Wednesdays meeting. Adjutant
Van Osten told of some very heated
correspondence he has had with the
veterans bureau in trying to COM
pensation for Cribs, one of our dis
abled buddies. Several communica-
tions and bulletins were read for the
benefit of those whom they might
concern and then the real issue of the
meeting took the floor with a vim.
The delegates to the state convention
in Palm Beach in March were elected.
The ballot was cast and the six high
est men were to be the three dele
gates and the three alternates in
order as they received votes. Messrs.
Neighbour, Moremen and M. C. Izlar
were elected delegates, with Messrs.
Van Osten, Anderson and Futch as
alternates. Then the house began
discussing the various questions that
it was thought likely would come be
fore the Palm Beach convention, SO
that the delegates might get some
/ idea of what Marion County Post No.
27 wants. All went smoothly along
the lines of finance and compensation
for the disabled buddies, but when
Tom Watson and the bonus were men,
toned, argument reigned supreme.
The general opinion of those present
seemed to be that Tom Watson should
be condemned, and our delegates
know that they can vote. for any res
! olution condemning him. Then the
question of a state bonus came up and
the discussion was so hot that it al
most set fire to the house. The final
result was that Mr.. M. c. Izlar resign
ed as a delegate because he refused
to be pledged to vote for a state
bonus and he felt that the post want
ed him to vote for it. r. L. Van Osten
was automatically moved up to the
position of delegate and Mr.. Edward
Drake became an alternate. The best
auxiliary in the state of Florida serv-
ed sandwiches and coffee to the boys
during a short recess.

FOOTBALL STAR is ALSO
A LOCOMOTIVE FIREMAN
ASSOCIATED Press)

Jacksonville, Feb. 2.-It is a far cry
from the lusty cheers of an admiring
throng of spectators at "A football
game to the task of making smoke"
for grease besmeared engineer but
Carl "Tootie" Perry, star lineman and
captain of the University of Florida
football eleven during the season just
closed, is firing a locomotive on an
Atlantic Coast Line passenger run be-
tween Jacksonville and Leesburg.
Perry had fired several years during
the summer months and had obtained
leave of absence from his duties at the
university. His fourth year as q player
ended with the football season last
fall, however, and he left school short
ly before Christmas to return to work
permanently.
John Hogan, a football enthusiast
and one of the most widely known of
the younger Coast Line engineers in
Florida is Perry's engine mate and
between the two of them they have
almost abolished the English langu-
age, according to members of the train
crew.
"98-16-42-10!" shouts Hogan, as the
train moves slowly out of siding.
Perry looks back to see If the fagman
has climbed aboard.
"42-37-4-23!" replies "Tootie" and
Hogan settles down on his seatbox
for the run to the next station, leaving
Perry to do all the heavy work with
his coal scoop.
Hogan declared that "Tootie" ID as
good fireman as he was football
player and tIat the training the hefty
former ineman received as member
of the Florida eleven makes it easy
for him to bale ten or twelve tons OF
coal into the firebox on q days run.
