'FLORIDA'S GREATEST CHARITY
The Children's Home Society of Flor
ida Appeals for Christmas Funds,
Good Homes and Christmas
Joy Boxes

The past year has been a very try
ing one for every charitable institu-
ticn in the state. None have had q
more difficult time than the Children's
Home Society of Florida, which has
had over 1900 children, from every
portion of the state and from wee
babies on up, come under its aid and
care already this year.
In spite of every conceivable ef-
fort, the society has had a deficit in
five of the eleven months past, deficit
which has run over $4,000 and which
the society is trying hard to meet
before the close of the present year.
Just now the entire thought of the
Home Society is turned to Christmas,
for that is one day when every child,
orphan children especially, should be
made comfortable and happy. An
urgent appeal is being sent out by
the society therefore for Christmas
donations of money, from individuals,
churches, lodges, schools, Sunday
schools, young peoples societies,
woman's clubs, Rotary, Kiwanis and
all other organizations of every kind
in the state. This appeal is for mon
ey, for good homes for homeless chill
dren and for Christmas joy boxes for
the kiddies at the two homes of the
society in Jacksonville and in Pensa-
cola.
The good people of Marion county
are urged to send in their eontribu-
tions of money to the state treasurer,
R. V. Covington, 428 st. James build
ing, Jacksonville; TO send applications
for children to Marcus c. Fagg. state
superintendent, at the same address.
and to send all joy boxes, barrels of
supplies, etc., to 1904 Riverside Ave.
Jacksonville, or to the West Florida
Children's Home, Seventh Ave. and
Jordan St, Pensacola. Do it now,
please-before you forget.

 BANKER BALL LOSERS g 10 s

The Chamber of Commerce baseball team proved too strong for the Bankers team on Thursday afternoon at the Norwich State Hospital dia- mond winning easily by to score. Danny Driscoll had the Money Lend CTS guessing most of the game and was given exceptional support in the putfield. Harold Hull who hurled for the Bankers shut out eight of the Chamber boys but his support was ragged at times and when the C.. of C. hit they hit safely.
 The Chamber had only one bad nm ing, that being the third in whcln the Money Lenders scored runs on punched kits aided by two errors. Ar ter this inning the Bankers put up no opposition whatsoever. The cham Der of Commerce played consistent ball and the outfielders performed es- pecially well accepting 6 chances with put an error. Bert Carey and Herrick wero the shining lights of the team, Bert connecting for q double and Ifcrrick mailing three hard hit balls. Big Ed Harris, first sacker played his usual brilliant game.
 Hull and Fox featured for the Bank CTS. Umpire Wells umpired in his us- ual impartial fashion much to the satisfaction and glee of the fans. At the end of the eighth inning the um- pire called the game on account ot darkness but the Money Lenders put up a terrific howl and the final inn ing was played.

AMERICAN CHANNEL SWIMMERS
 TAKE TO WATER TODAY

Dover, England, Aug. 31-(By the A. P.)-With the wind and the rain having slackened somewhat tonight the prospects seem fairly promising for a start Friday evening by the four American long distance swim mers in an effort to cross the Eng fish channel from Dover to some point on the French shore.
 The United States torpedo boat de- Ttroyer Mccormick. arrived here this evening and Charles 10th and Sam Richards, of Boston agreed to take to the water some time after nightfall tomorrow. with the destroyer acting as an escort. Henry Sullivan of Lowell Mass. and Walter Patterson, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, also plan to start about the same time.
 The Americans are guarding as se- crets their respective starting points, and it is possible the commander of the destroyer may have to detail pet ty officers in the ships boats to fol- low the swimmers in case they start at widely scattered points.
 The gale and the rain which have swept the channel for several days have made the water rough and brough the temperature of 1t down to 5S. The men have beeh hoping for a temperature of 62, which is regarded as necessary to successful, swim So high were the seas in the chan nei Wednesday night that pilots had difficulty in making landings with their boats
 Notwithstanding the desire of some of the swimmers to start alone and to keep their opponents in ignorance of the exact time and the place where they will plunge into the water, the rornmandeF of the -MoCOrT11iClx will make a last endeavor to effect an agreement among them to start si- simultaneously at the same spot so that the destroyer may render equal ser vice to each. Sullivan is anxious to start alone, but 10th insists oa talk Ing the plunge with him, as the Lo- well man holds the American endur anee record in the channel.
 During the swim the men will wear nothing except rubber caps and gog- gles. They will have a liberal coat ing 5f grease as a skin protector The goggles are to shield their eyes from the irrating effect of the salt wa ter. Bets are being made that at least one of the Americans will succeed ir squalling or surpassing the records o1 Captain Matthew Webb and T. w Burgess, the only men who ever sue. cessfully negotiated the channel.
 Charles Michel, who is being train. ed by Burgess, will make another at. tempt from the French side to swim the channel this week. Several En. glish women also are to try to exceed the endurance record of Mrs. Hid: Willing of London, who is credited witt having remained in the water of tn, channel in her endeavor to swim i for ten hours and forty five minutes
